Ulrich's secret
Chapter 4
After talking with Yumi, Odd had to race through the halls to get to his next lesson in time. His classroom happened to be the furthest away from the cafeteria you could possibly get. It was the other side of the school and up a flight of stairs and across another hall.
Odd dashed down the final corridor only to bash into two people.
All three of them fell to the floor in a big heap, two of them totally dazed, the last looked as if he didn't care that he was just knocked down, which he probably didn't.
Odd quickly got to his feet and looked down at who he bashed into, "Ulrich! Jeremie! I'm so sorry, total accident, I swear!"
"It's O.K, Odd, really," Jeremie answered as he got up off the floor.
"Are you O.K, Ulrich?" Odd asked the other boy.
Ulrich didn't answer him, just got to his feet and looked at the floor with an expression telling the two he would have rather have stayed on the ground.
Odd frowned at his silent friend, while Jeremie just looked confused, "What on earth is going on with him? He's acting so weird, something must of happened," he whispered to the dual haired boy.
Odd nodded, then he noticed something not that far away from Ulrich. It was a piece of scrunched up paper. He looked at it quizzically, then walked over to it.
He bent down and picked up the paper. He was just about to un-scrunch it (If that's a word) when suddenly a hand shot out and caught his in a death grip.
Odd gasped in surprise as he looked up to the owner of the hand. Ulrich was what he found, staring daggers at him, the most emotion he had shown all day.
"Ulrich? What's wrong?" Odd said, slightly scared of his friend's gaze.
Ulrich once again said nothing. All he did was pry at Odd's hands until the paper came free from his grip. He stuffed it in his back pocket and turned to walk into the classroom.
"Wait, Ulrich. What's going on? I demand you answer me right now!" Odd said, anger filling his own voice.
Odd watched as Ulrich stopped. They both stood there for a minute, Jeremie watching, before Ulrich finally looked over his shoulder at his friend.
Odd gasped and his eyes went wide. No longer was Ulrich's expression full of anger. No, now it was filled with anguish and misery. Odd had never seen such a hopeless look.
"Something bad is going to happen to me, Odd, and when it does I want you all, you, Jeremie and Yumi to remember me, can you do that?"
Odd was totally shocked, "I wont do anything until you tell me what's wrong" He said stubbornly.
Ulrich looked away again before answering, "I want to tell you, Odd, I do, but I just can't."
"Why? Why can't you tell me?"
"Lets just say I'm not aloud to tell you."
With that, Ulrich walked into the classroom, leaving Odd and Jeremie behind.
Jeremie walked up to Odd, "What was that all about?"
"I don't know but we gotta find out. It has something to do with that bit of paper. I know its wrong but we gotta get that piece of paper, for Ulrich's sake"
The two then silently walked into the classroom, only to be met with a tidal wave of noise as the teacher scolded them for being really late.
I know it was short but I couldn't think of anything else to write, sorry.
I'll try update the next chapter quickly to make up for it but I can't promise anything.
C ya dudes! Drentai Dragon
