Ch. 4 Depression Anguish
Following the events of Odd and Ulrich's fight, the whole gang's friendship took a turn for the worst.
Lunchtime-Cafeteria
Ulrich was sitting alone because Odd had to stay in bed because of his concussion and Jeremie and Yumi were visiting him. Ulrich groaned as Sissi came by.
"Hi Ulrich dear".
"Go away Sissi"
"But I just wanted to talk to you". She said as she sat next to him.
"It's so sad that your little group broke up".
"SHUT UP SISSI, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO AWAY"?
"Why would I do that since you're all alone and Yumi's not here to bother us".
"Get away from me now". Ulrich hissed
"Not unless you go out with me". Sissi said defiantly.
Ulrich was fed up with her so he grabbed his drink and poured it on her.
"AHH, Ulrich what's your problem"?
"YOU ARE, YOU'RE ALWAYS BOTHERING ME"!
"But Ulrich-".
"GET OUT OF MY FACE"!
"Hey, what's going on here"? Jim asked as he came to see what all the commotion was about.
"Ulrich poured his juice on me for no reason".
"Ulrich, I think it's time that you paid a visit to the principal"
Principal's Office
"Sissi started it. She's always trying to flirt with me and I've had enough".
"Sissi, is this true"? The principal asked.
"Well, I wouldn't call it flirting, I was just trying to make friends with him".
"Well I don't want to be friends with you". Ulrich spat.
"Well Ulrich, there's nothing I can do here. I want you to go back to your room for the rest of the day".
"Are you suspending me"? What about Sissi"?
"I think you overreacted and I don't see any fault in her actions".
"ARGHH, I HATE THIS PLACE".
Ulrich stormed off to his dorm. He knew Odd would be there because he hadn't been to class because of the concussion he got from his fight with Ulrich. But to Ulrich's dismay Jeremie and Yumi were there also.
"Oh, hi Ulrich" Jeremie greeted
"Shut up, why don't you just leave".
"Why do you have to be so rude"? Yumi asked
"I can talk to him however I want to"
"You have serious issues" Jeremie said.
Ulrich was mad at that statement because he didn't have issues. People wouldn't leave him alone and everyone was making his life miserable. Ulrich pinned Jeremie to the wall.
"Don't ever say that to me again, got it".
"Ulrich let go of him now" Yumi yelled.
Ulrich let Jeremie go. As he was leaving he looked at Yumi with disgust. Back in the room the 3 friends talked about Ulrich's behavior.
"What the heck is his problem" Jeremie said.
"Maybe we should tell the counselor about this. I mean, look at what he did to Odd and what he was about to do to you.
"He's starting to get dangerous" Jeremie agreed.
Odd had heard enough. Yeah Ulrich had beaten him up but that was his own fault. He had messed up his date with Yumi.
"Will you guys just leave him alone"?
"Odd, he hurt you". Yumi responded.
"…It was my fault. I shouldn't have, messed up his date with you."
"That's no excuse for him hurting you".
"Stop picking on him". Odd got up and was about to go out the door when Yumi blocked his path.
"Odd, are you crazy"? "Look at what he did to you, don't be stupid".
"I'm not being stupid, I'm just doing what I think is right".
"Odd, Yumi is right". Jeremie said
"SHUT UP, I'll do what ever I want to do".
With that said, Odd ran out off the room to look for Ulrich.
'Maybe if I apologize enough, Ulrich will be my friend again' Odd thought.
Odd found Ulrich in the park next to the manhole that took them to the factory.
"Uh…Ulrich"
"Yeah, what do you want"?
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and I understand if don't want to be my friend anymore".
Ulrich knew in his heart that he was wrong for hurting Odd.
"It's ok, I'm sorry too".
"Why are you sorry, it was my entire fault".
"I overreacted and I shouldn't have hurt you".
"It's ok"
Odd gave Ulrich a quick hug and they both started walking back to the dorm. All of a sudden Odd's cell rang. It was Jeremie.
"Hey Einstein, what's up"
"Odd, there's trouble in Lyoko. Head over to the factory, and see if you can find Ulrich".
"Ulrich's here with me and we'll be on our way".
"What's up"? Ulrich asked
"There's trouble in Lyoko and Jeremie wants us at the factory now".
"Ok, let's go"
Odd and Ulrich headed back toward the factory, but unbeknownst to the whole Lyoko gang, they were headed to their deaths.
