Chapter 3

Jealous Much?

"Yumi is way to nice to say something like that!" Odd protested. "So why say that? Why now?"

Odd, Ulrich, Aelita, Dani, and Jeremy were in Aelita & Dani's dorm talking.

"But she doesn't mean it does she?" Ulrich stammered. "She's only looking out for us and Dani."

"I understand that," Dani replied. "But I don't understand why she would say that now. If she didn't want me as part as the team, then she should've said something before you let me in."

"That is true," Jeremy added. "Second thoughts maybe?"

"Impossible," Ulrich said. "Yumi is always certain with her answer. She always sticks to it."

"Of course you would know that Ulrich," Odd replied.

Ulrich blushed and sat next to Aelita.

"My point being, she's not a last minute mind-changing type of person."

"Then what's her reason for kicking out Dani?" Aelita snapped.

Ulrich rubbed his chin then shrugged.

"Don't sulk Angel," Odd put a friendly hand on Dani's shoulder. "You'll be fine."

Dani laid her head on Odd's shoulder as he moved his hand.

"I better be or I could never look at Yumi again," Dani replied.

"Me either," Aelita said. "I can't believe I'm this angry at her. I've never - huh?"

A knock interrupted the group.

Aelita got up and answered the door, and to their surprise it was Yumi.

"Can I come in? Please?" Yumi said.

"I don't know can you?" Odd crossed his arms.

Unwillingly, Aelita let her in.

"What do you want?" Aelita said angrily.

"I want to apologize," Yumi said.

The 8th graders shot up and listened to the 9th grader.

"I just want to say sorry to Aelita and Dani. I never meant to offend. I was only looking out for us."

A half smile appeared on Aelita's face.

"Is that enough for you guys?" Ulrich asked looking at Aelita and Dani.

"I don't know," Dani said. "If you don't like me then maybe I should drop Lyoko."

"No! It's not that I don't like you," Yumi said. "It's just that your not needed."

Yumi covered her mouth. "I didn't mean that."

"Oh, but I think you did," Dani replied. "I can't believe you Yumi! Why? Are you really looking out for the team?"

"I am!"

"Doesn't look like it! Am I not as good as you? Am I not careful enough for your taste? Are you jealous?"

"I'm not jealous!" Yumi snapped.

Dani fell back onto her bed from the outburst.

"I am far from jealous! I'm just looking out for you guys!"

"We're perfectly capable of taking care ourselves; especially on Lyoko!" Ulrich jumped to his feet.

"I never meant to make this a problem!" Yumi shouted. "I just - huh?"

Jeremy's laptop started to beep.

"Activated tower in the ice sector," Jeremy read. "Move out guys."

As the group piled out, Jeremy stopped Yumi.

"Maybe not you Yumi."

"What? Jeremy, please don't make this more serious then it is!"

"But it is," Jeremy got up and hitched his backpack over his shoulder. "And if a tower is activated, then there is something bad here on Earth. Investigate then report back."

"Please Jeremy!"

"And if we need help, I'll call. But for now, I think we're done here."

Jeremy left the room leaving a lonely and sad Yumi.
