Sissi Delmas was the most socially elite person at the school her daddy ran. With her looks (perfection), her status of principal's daughter (making sure she could threaten whoever she wanted into doing whatever she wanted), and her popularity, she should have been the belle of the ball.

There was just one problem with that: her date. Where was Ulrich? She had been waiting for the past hour for him to pick her up already, but he had never come. Knowing him, something was up with his little freak friends. But had something truly horrible happened to him? Was he dying in a ditch, crying up a store about how he had missed the dance with her?

She had already asked Odd about where he was, and Odd had said that he didn't know. She had believed him; Odd didn't really lie to her, though he was rude every chance he got. Ulrich was probably at that snobby Ishiyama's house. She had known it was too good to be true.

The girl sighed. Why did she bother with him anyway? He obviously didn't care for her the way she did with him. He only cared about Yumi. Yumi this, Yumi that. Sissi had noticed that he had only said yes to her after Yumi had turned him down (she wasn't as unobservant and caught up in herself as he thought.)

Sissi knew that she should have given up on him a long time ago. There were plenty of boys out there that would happily date her. Like Herve (she shuddered at the thought) or Theo, or maybe even William (if he ever got over Yumi.)

'But he's not the boy you want', her subconscious told her. 'None of them are, not even Ulrich'

To be true to herself, she agreed. The only reason she even bothered with Ulrich Stern anymore was because of a person he was close too, the person that she really wanted.

Not Jeremie (too smart for a person like her) or Aelita or Yumi (wrong gender indeed).

That only left one person. The class clown, one of the near dropouts at Kadic (along with her), the boy that she insulted right and left, and insulted right back. His-Ulrich's- best friend.

Odd Della Robbia.

There was a problem with this, though, as with most things in her life. She was popular, he was not. Which, to Sissi, was a problem the size of the Great Wall of China.

For Sissi, the only thing she truly had in life was popularity. And if she lost that, then she would be a worthless little loner who would not have anything left. And even love, the true kind, wasn't enough to risk it.

That was why she had been living a lie since he had appeared at Kadic less than a year ago. Ulrich was handsome, a soccer star, funny when he wanted to be. If he left his gang, then he would be popular in less than a second, probably less than that if she wanted to be honest. He was the "safe'' option-not like his best friend.

'If only… if only…if only' she thought, her thoughts stuck in her head like an iPod stuck on replay. She was so transfixed on her single thought that she didn't notice that the sky was opening and heavy rain starting to fall, drenching her and making her look ruined.

The girl only came out of her thoughts when a pale hand came in front of her. Sissi looked up at the face of the person, and found it to be the person that had been on her mind for the past 20 minutes.

"Can I take you back to your room/" Odd asked, smiling down at her-the first time he had since she didn't know when.

She accepted. They walked off.

And she was finally happy, for the first time since when.
