The whole gang were sitting down at their usual bench talking about the upcoming dance.
"So I'm guessing that Jeremie is taking you Aelita?" Ulrich teased.
She nodded and blushed when she saw Jeremie blushing.
"I think it's about time I got myself a date," Odd said smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"I thought you would take Sam" Ulrich said slightly confused.
"She err doesn't want to come" Odd said having to think fast.
"So who you asking?" Ulrich enquired
"You'll see" Odd turning to look at Yumi who had taken an interest in just listening to the conversation.
"Yumi, will you go to the dance with me please?" Odd said taking her hand into his.
Ulrich was speechless. How could his friend, the one who teased him about liking Yumi, ask her to the dance?
Yumi looked at him in shock. She looked at Ulrich who looked equally as shocked as herself.
"Sure I'll go to the dance with you Odd" Yumi laughed thinking up an evil plan in her mind. This was bound to make Ulrich confess that he likes her as more than a friend, wouldn't it?
Odd smiled. Jeremie and Aelita hadn't noticed what had just happened or had they chose not to?
"Well I'd better go home now and get ready for the dance now that I have a date for it" Yumi said standing up.
"I'll walk you" Odd said taking Yumi's hand and walking her home.
Ulrich also got up but went back to his dorm. Slowly he sat down on his bed.
How could Odd do this to him?
He knew how he felt towards Yumi.
He thought Yumi like him back as well but he never was sure, now he knew that she didn't.
Ulrich put his head in his hands so that if Odd were to return early he wouldn't see the tears that were escaping his eyes and his broken heart.
Odd slowly crept into the dorm. He saw that Ulrich was asleep but noticed something on the brown-haired boy's face. A tear.
Odd smiled.
