The sun finished its descent below the distant buildings, darkness settling in for the night. The singing and chirping of birds was quickly fading. The usual sights could be seen outside the dorm building; girls in large groups chatting away about this and that, guys playing games like poker and checkers.

'And Sissi and William, once again making out by the vending machine. What a sight.'

Odd turned away from his dorm window, deciding there was nothing outside worth watching.

He instead flopped down on his bed, letting his mind wander freely. Immediately he began thinking about the earlier conversation with Aelita. Just remembering the look on her face when she talked about the fight, it was enough to send a slight shiver down Odd's spine. He felt the anger build up once again as Jeremie crossed his mind.

'How could he even think of treating her like that? It's just so wrong, after all that we've been through. If I were him, I'd-'

Odd stopped right there. Time and time again, he wished he was in Jeremie's shoes. He so desperately wanted to treat her like the princess she was, see her smile, her arms gently wrapping around him, slowly leaning forward, and-

"Bark!"

"Kiwi, quiet! I'll feed you in a second!"

Said dog had jumped up on the bed, and was now whining impatiently. Odd also noticed that Kiwi had unusually poor breath, which was now being panted in his face.

"Kiwi, did you eat Sissi's lipstick again?"

Kiwi barked in response, and Odd knew this meant yes.

"UGH! Where did I put that damn thing?!"

Odd snickered to himself as Sissi continued to fumble around her purse, presumably looking for her lipstick.

'Little does she know...'

Odd couldn't help it and burst out into laughter, startling the entire dining area. Sissi, who had now dumped her purse onto the nearby table, was glaring at him.

"What's so funny Oddball?" The entire cafeteria went silent, all eyes on Odd and Sissi. But Sissi's tone was all too provoking, and Odd couldn't help himself.

"Poor William, it must be hard to deal with your PMS!"

Odd, along with the entire cafeteria, burst out in laughter. Even William, who was sitting next to Sissi, was seen doing all he could to prevent himself from laughing.

Sissi, now wearing a deep shade of red across her entire face, took a seat and buried her face in her hands, muttering something about damn disappearing lipstick.

"Quiet down now!" Jim shouted at the students, resulting in a slightly diminished noise level. "Other people's bodily functions are none of our business."

The entire cafeteria once again burst out in laughter, sending Jim retreating back into his seat. Sissi had collapsed onto the table, face buried into her arms. William could no longer fight off laughter, regardless of Sissi's elbow hitting him hard in the ribs.

Odd had tears rolling down his face he was laughing so hard. 'This is better than the meatballs and spaghetti!'

Odd walked down the dorm hallway, a beat in his step, finally feeling like his old self again. Boy, dinner was just what the doctor had ordered!

He turned the corner, quietly snickering to himself about earlier. He stopped quickly upon spotting his door cracked open.

'This isn't right. I shut and locked my door!' Odd then planned his strategy, slowly sneaking quietly down the hallway until he reached his door. Readying his right fist, he swung the door open, only to see Jeremie sitting on the side of his bed, legs crossed, wearing blue pants and a plain green shirt. He looked over at Odd, no surprise showing in his face. In fact, there was no emotion at all.

"I need to talk to you, Odd."

Odd didn't know how he felt or how he should feel. Here was the one person he was enraged with, but yet...something kept him from beating the crap out of Jeremie.

"Why do you want to talk to me? Wouldn't you rather be working on some stupid computer program?" Odd's voice showed his restrained anger, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

"It appears you have feelings for my girlfriend."
