Chapter 4
The three walked outside and saw Aelita waiting for them on the bleachers.
"Guess what Jim's going to try to teach us." Aelita said, her face a light.
"What?" Odd asked, sitting next to her as Jeremie sat on her other side.
"No, let me guess, American Football?" Ulrich guessed as he sat down next to Odd.
"Who told you?!" Aelita asked, surprised he got it right.
"Nobody, I just guessed." Ulrich srugged.
"But you're kidding, right?" Jeremie asked. "I can't even play regualer football."
"No, but his brother sent over some old equipment his school wanted to throw away because it was a year old." Aelita said.
Ulrich found himself not able to consintrate on what his friends were saying anymore.
Instead of sitting on the cool concreat, he found himself back on the shoulder of the butler. His fists soar from punching Mr. Hex in the back but he continued to try.
They entered another room only for the door to slam shut on its own accord.
Mr. Hex dropped Ulrich onto a custioned bed. The man undressed Ulrich and left the room, leaving Ulrich, naked on the coution.
Ulrich looked around, the only light was coming from the candles put around the room and from the fire place.
A woman seemed to appear out of the darkness. She was dressed in only a drap around her waist. She walked over to him and layed next to him, running her fingers up his side.
Fear of what she wanted to do with him this time made it so that her touch didn't tickle.
Ulrich stood up from where he was sitting, getting his friend's attention.
"Uh, Ulrich, where are you going?" Odd asked.
Ulrich turned to his friends, his facefull of panic. "I have to get away!" Ulrich said.
"Get away from what?" Aelita asked, none of them understanding their friend.
"I just have to get away before she..." Ulrich's voice trailed off as he started to walk down the bleachers, only trip and fall the rest of the way to the grassy bottom, hitting a few kids on his way down.
"Ulrich!" Jeremie cired as the three jumped up and ran after him.
Aelita made it to him first, seeing blood coming out of a cut on his forehead and pleanty of scratchs covering his arms. His orange pants had gotten ripped by the ruff concreate he had fallen down.
"Herve! Get Jim and Yolanda!" Odd ordered as he knelt next to Ulrich.
Sissi had made her way over and saw her crush...well, crushed.
Ulrich's eyes closed as blood from a cut dripped over his eyelid.
"Come on, everyone. Give us some room." Jim ordered as he and Yolanda appeared.
"What happened?" Yolanda asked Jeremie as she knelt next to Ulrich.
"He tripped when he was walking down." Jeremie said, perpuly not telling her about his lack of acnoligment of where he was before he fell. "I think he might have a concution."
"Odd, Jeremie, could you help me?" Yolanda asked, placing Ulrich's head back down to the ground.
"Of course." Odd said, worried about his friend.
"I need you two to carry him back to the imfermery." Yolanda said, standing up.
Odd grabbed Ulrich around his chest and Jeremie picked up his feet, carrying their friend, they followed Yolanda.
Aelita watched them, worry in her eyes.
Odd and Jeremie were forced to go back to class, leaving Ulrich on one of the beds in the imfermery.
"I better tell Yumi." Odd said as the two headed back towards the football field.
"I hope he'll be ok." Jeremie said as Odd typed in a short message and sent it to Yumi.
"This is Ulrich we're talking about." Odd said, trying to reasure himself as well as his friend as he put his cell away. "He'll make it."
"I hope you're right."
