RAYNE'S POV
I was in my room, sitting on my bed crying when I spotted my suitcase in the corner of my room. I grabbed it and started packing. When I was almost done packing so I could leave, I heard a knocking at my door. It was Aelita, and she looked a little worried.
"Go away." I said, giving her an evil glare. "I'm leaving this place! It's not like anyone would care anyways!" Suddenly, I felt her hand on my shoulder.
"Odd told me." she said. Immediately, I whirled around to face her. Her face was filled with tears. "I'm really sorry that this is happening to you, but Jeremy thinks you shouldn't hang around us anymore." I couldn't say anything, I was too shocked at what I just heard. What was happening? Why was this happening? Then I remembered Sissi questioning me this morning and then running off.
"Don't worry Aelita," I said with a tone of confidence in my voice. "I think I know who did this." With that, I ran off looking for Sissi.
I was running out on campus when I saw her. She was over buy a tree with Herb and Nicholas. She was talking about something, so I decided to come in for a closer look. I snuck up behind the tree so I could listen.
"Yeah! And now Ulrich is all alone. I can finally make my move!" she laughed. I was outraged. How could Sissi do this to me?
"Hey Sissi!" I said as I came from behind the tree.
"Huh? D-did you hear that?!" she stammered; she was in shock at the fact that I was behind the tree listening to her.
"So it was you this whole time! You did this to me and my friends! You made Yumi think that Ulrich asked me out when it was Odd!" Suddenly, I froze up. I had just reveled that Odd was the one who asked me out. "Okay," I managed to slip out. "I want you to tell Yumi and Ulrich that you were the one who spread that rumor. Then, I want you to apologize."
"What makes you think that I'm gonna do that?" she snapped.
I quickly gripped her by the collar and held a fist up and said, "Because, I don't think you want a fist in your face." Sissi quickly agreed and followed me to where Yumi was. As we approached, she gave me a cold stare. "Uh, Yumi," I said. "Sissi has something to say." Sissi told Yumi everything.
"Then, if Ulrich didn't ask you out," said Yumi with a puzzled look on her face. "Then who did?"
I took a deep breath and said, "Odd." Yumi apologized and gave me a hug before she, Sissi and me left to talk to Ulrich. He was hanging out with Odd by the vending machines, and he gave me the same greeting Yumi did. Like Yumi, he asked who really asked me out. But instead of me answering, Odd spoke up.
"I did," he began. " and I still haven't gotten an answer Rayne." I heart started bounding as he asked if I would go out with him.
"O-odd," I began, sweat now starting to come. "I-I w-w-would..." Everyone was just staring at me, waiting for an answer. Finally, I said something… just one word, "Yes."
