Wanted
Chapter 3-Odd's Cousin
Odd's POV
I woke up early. I was even up before Ulrich. I fed Kiwi, grabbed my stuff, and headed to the showers. After my shower, I got dress, brushed my teeth, put my hair up like I always do, picked up my stuff and headed back to the room to find Ulrich waking up. I putted my things away.
"Morning, Odd."
"Morning, Ulrich. How did you sleep?"
"Ok, I guess. Still remember what you told me. How did you sleep? I didn't hear you snore like you usually do."
"I tossed and turned all night. It could because I can't wait to see my cousin again. I haven't seen her since that night."
"It wasn't your fault. No one saw that truck speeding around that corner."
"I know, but my parents wouldn't let me see her. Laura and I grew up together. I should been out there with her when that truck went through the fence."
"If you were out there too, both of you two would be in the hospital. Did the police ever found out who drove the truck?"
"No they didn't. It is like the driver disappeared. The police thought that the driver bailed out of the truck. I'm glad that Laura made it through everything."
"Me too. What time will she be coming today?"
"She will be here around nine, but she has to unpack. Maybe if we are lucky, we can see her at lunch. Well, I'm heading to breakfast. See you there." I left the room leaving a confused Ulrich. I still couldn't tell him about yesterday, and it was eating me alive. As I headed to the lunch room, a black motorcycle flew in front of me. I could tell the rider was wearing a black motorcycle suit with a black helmet. I watched speed off. I came into the lunch room and saw Rosa getting things ready.
"Good morning, Odd. I'm surprise you are here early. What's bring you here?"
"I couldn't sleep. My cousin is coming today, and I haven't seen her for nine years. I hope she knows where to find me."
"I think she will find you. How about some breakfast?"
"That will be great, Rosa. Thank you." I said as Rosa got a tray ready for me. As I was just about to sit down, the gang came in. I watched them get their breakfast and sat down next to me.
"Are you ok, Odd?" Yumi asked me. I still couldn't face her, so I putted on a fake smile.
"I'm fine. I'm just in a good mood because my cousin is coming today."
"I didn't know. Who is your cousin?" Jeremy asked.
"Her name is Laura, and she is 16 like us." I looked at my food.
"Odd, you aren't eating much. Is there something else wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, Aelita. I'm just not hungry. I'm going for a walk since it is Sunday." I grabbed my tray and putted it away. I walked out of the lunch room.
Normal POV
"There is something bugging Odd. He wasn't eating that much." Aelita exclaimed.
"He was acting really weird last night and this morning. He was up really early this morning. Something is really bugging him." Ulrich stated.
"Let me go and find him. Maybe I can get him to talk to me." Yumi said as she got up. Ulrich watched her leave the table.
"What's going on between you two, Ulrich?" Aelita asked.
"Yumi and I are taking a break right now."
"I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you going be ok?"
"I will be fine. I'm just more worried about Odd."
"Me too, Ulrich." Jeremy said worried.
Odd's POV
By the time I looked at my phone, I noticed that it was almost 10. I was deep in the woods on a old trail that no one had used in a long time. It was really far from the school. I heard footsteps coming right behind me. I turned to see Yumi running up to me. She came to a dead stop just a few inches of my face.
"So, have you thought anymore of what I said last night?"
"Yumi, I love you, but Ulrich loves you too, and I can't betray him by going out with you. I'm sorry."
"Odd, I broke up with Ulrich to be with you. Plus, he cheated on me. I have the pictures and the proof. He even slept with the other girl just a week after he slept with me."
"I'm so sorry. Why would he did that?" It didn't make sense, but as Yumi showed me the pictures, the pictures was true. I couldn't believe it.
"Now, would you change your mind?"
"Give me a few days, please?"
"Ok, just please let me know soon. I need to get back." Yumi stated before she gave me a quick kiss. I watched her run back the way she came. I finally snapped out of my daze when I heard my phone rang. I look at it. It was a text from my cousin.
"Odd, come back to the school asap. I'm here. Meet me at the front gates. Laura" I texted her back to let her know I was on my way.
I finally got back and saw the same black motorcycle by the gates with the rider in black. A group of kids circled the rider. The rider started walking up to me making its way through the crowd. The rider stopped in front of me. It grabbed my hand and pulled me to its motorcycle. It let go of my hand when we got to the motorcycle and handed me a helmet. The rider got on to the motorcycle first and then motion me to get on. The rider started the motorcycle, I wrapped my arms around the rider and we took off like there was a fire behind us. I didn't know where we were going, but I didn't care. I wanted to get away for awhile.
(Do you know who the rider is? Why is the rider is here and what is its connection with Xana? Keep on reading. Please review. ;)
