"What a waste of money!" Odd shouted throwing his hands in the air.
Ulrich grinned at his friend,"It wasn't that bad,"
"It was shit on a screen," he said flatly shoving his hands into his pockets, Ulrich did the same. The had just come back from seeing The Secret Labyrinth which was allegedly supposed to be the scariest movie of the year so of course Odd was all for it.
"I mean you could tell when the monster was going to attack, so predictable," the young boy continued.
"Odd stop bitching already the movies over, let it go," Ulrich complained. Odd crossed his hands infront of his chest and huffed.
The two hurried back to the dorms to escape the cold. The dashed to theirs rooms and changed into some PJ's before slipping in a SubDigitals CD into the stereo.
"So,"said Ulrich.
"So" Odd echoed.
"Whas up? I barely see you anymore,"
"Nothing much, you?"
"Same," Ulrich said slipping from the bed to the floor. Odd took this oppurtunity of silence to stare out the window. His thoughts, as they had been for the past two weeks, were on Aelita.
Does she hate me? She hasn't said a word in two weeks. She wanted time I think two weeks is enough. Maybe I should confront her. No. Eh, maybe I should, I could show her I love her that way...or is that too desperate.
Ulrich snapped his fingers in front of Odd.
"Penny for you thoughts?" he asked. Odd was brought back to Earth. He looked at Ulrich, his best friend, his room mate. He and Ulrich told each other everything and if one didn't want to talk about it, the other would easily guess...they knew each other that well. Ulrich was the brother he never, and wished he had.
"If I told you you'd hate me forever," Odd said turning to face the wall. He felt a hand on his shoulder.
"You know I had plently of chances to hate you before what makes a difference now?" Ulrich said. Odd spun back around and gave a small smile.
"Fine. But you have to promise to not tell Jeremy," said Odd.
"Why can't I-?"
"Just promise me," Odd pleaded with his hands clasped together.
"I promise,"
"Well, you know how you told me to tell Aelita how I felt?" Odd asked
"Yep," said Ulrich. This wasn't anything new.
"You also know how I saw them kissing and nearly died," said Odd. He stopped and shuddered for a bit.
"Uh huh," replied Ulrich tapping his foot.
"WELL you know how we had that mission and Jeremy decided to be an ass hole and I got mad-"
"And you got into a fight," Ulrich finished for him patience wearing thin.
"Okay so after that-"
"Jesus Christ spit it out already god damnit!" Ulrich yelled in his face.
"Ok, ok calm the hell down I'm getting there," Odd exclaimed.
"Aelitaissedme," Odd muttered under his breath.
"What?"
"Aelita came over and kissed me," Odd whispered. Ulrich's mouth dropped open into a perfect 'O'.
"She what?"
"You heard me," Odd said suddenly jumping into braggart mode. "Came straight in and kissed me."
"You're lying!" the more humble boy accused jabbing a finger in his friends chest. Odd threw on a cocky grin.
"Oh no I don't lie about serious things like this," Odd said.
"Well then what happened?" Ulrich asked suddenly intrested and eager to find out. Odd's smirk fell of his face straight to the floor.
"Uh...she...er...ran out the room," said Odd suddenly sheepish. His room mate collapsed on the floor laughing. Odd had never heard Ulrich laugh so loud or so long.
Odd looked at the stereo clock. Five minutes was long enough. Odd kicked glass of water that splashed on Ulrich's face. After the young boy had calmed down Ulrich wiped the water off of his face and sat back down on the bed, silent but still smiling.
"You thinks its funny? Odd demanded.
"No being rejected isn't funny, bragging about someone kissing you only to have them run out the room...that shit's hilarious,"
Odd hung his head down in embarassment for a while.
"So what are you gonna do?"Ulrich asked his friend. Odd shut of the stereo.
"She said she wanted time..." said Odd.
"Two weeks is long enough,"
"Hey sometimes she likes to take her time on delicate subjects like these and I appreciate that," Odd snapped. Oh, forgot he loved her, Ulrich mentally slapped himself.
"You should talk to her," the boy suggested. Odd looked at him like he just mentioned a suicide mission.
"How the hell am I supposed to do that with Jeremy hovering around her?" Odd asked his best friend with a quirked blonde eyebrow.
Ulrich smiled,"we have that science project coming up, if you make sure Mrs Hertz pairs you two together no problem."Odd face lit up.
"Hey good idea maybe I should start calling you Einstein," Odd joked.
"Nah, it's not really my thing." A comfortable silence engulfed the room.
"Ulrich?" Odd asked in a quiet voice.
"Yeah?"
"I'm not being ungrateful but why are you helping me get with Aelita when you know it'll break Jeremy's heart?" Ulrich sighed.
"Because your my best friend and technically...Aelita deserves much better." Odd jumped off his bed and landed on Ulrich and gave him a body crushing hug.
"ULRICH YOU'RE THE BESTEST FRIEND A GUY COULD ASK FOR YOU KNOW THAT?" Odd screamed in his friend's ear.
"Yea I know, same for you too," Ulrich gasped. Odd continued to suffocate him for a couple more minutes.
"Hey Odd?"
"Yea?"
"Get off,"
Jeremy say in his room, his face and desk basking in the pale yellow light the desk lamp emitted. He was typing furiously on the keyboard entering the code that could free William. He stopped to rest his fingers. The over intellectual boy lounged on his bed and stared up at the ugly gray ceiling. Jeremy's thought drifted over to Aelita as they had been for a while. Sometimes they were subtle and sometimes not. But they were on her all the same and how she was spending less and less time with him. In fact everyone was moving farther and farther away especially Aelita and Odd. The later he didn't care for but the former drove him into insanity. Jeremy hopped off the bed and started pacing.
Does she hate? Why is she spending less time with me? I haven't talked to her in five days. I haven't kissed her in fifteen days! Oh God what if she doesn't like me anymore!. Jeremy felt the world spinning and he clutched his chest. His heart was beating rapidly and so hard he could feel its pulses in his ears. After a few erractic breaths to try to calm himself down Jeremy fell to the floor still gasping. No Jeremy she still likes you, she would never leave. That made him feel better. I should talk to her when she gets back from Yumi's, we need to have a talk... Jeremy smiled mischievously as those not so subtle thoughts entered his mind.
Warning: Jeremy might be a bit OOC next chapter but I'll try to make him as Jeremy-ish as possible
