Not much to say, other than I don't Own Code: Lyoko or High School Musical. Sorry to burst your bubble. Anywho… here's chapter 8.

Yumi walked into the school. Ulrich met up with he by the door, "Hey!"

"Hi!" she smiled at him, remembering last night. Ulrich had won the MVP award and they had both danced to every song the DJ had played- together.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot! They're posting what parts we got on the bulletin board outside the office before lunch. You wanna go after third period? That would be… uh…" he tried to remember his schedule.

Yumi laughed, "Forget your order of classes already, Sherlock? That'd be right after Italian. Remember?"

"Uhhh… no?" he smiled guiltily. She laughed and twirled the combination on her locker as they reached it. She got out her books and waited for Ulrich. He couldn't get his locker to work, "Stupid, stupid, stupid…" he muttered. She put her hand on top of his and he looked down at her.

"Let me try. What's the combination?" she asked politely.

'You can try, but I doubt you'll be able to get it. The combo is twelve right, four left, thirty-seven right. But I don't think y-" Yumi cut him off by opening the locker after fiddling with the lock for a second.

"Ah, never doubt girls," she giggled at his shocked expression.

"Whatever," he grumbled.

She laughed and kissed him on the cheek, "See you in first period!" She hurried away before he could see the blush that was forming on her cheeks. He reached up and touched the place where she had kissed him lightly. He gathered his books, shut his locker, and walked to class with a goofy gin on his face.

When he walked into class, he saw Yumi perched on a desk talking to Aelita. Her back was turned to him. He walked up behind her.

"Hello again," he smiled. She turned and beamed at him. The bell rang and she got up to go to her seat.

On the way to her chair, Sissy stuck out her foot. Yumi didn't see it in time and she tripped over it. She turned around so that she would fall on her back, but instead, she felt someone grab her and pull her up quickly.

When she opened her eyes, she was sitting in Ulrich's lap and Sissy was fuming. "Sorry!" she squeaked and she got off of him and continued to her seat, her face turning a dark shade of red.

She got to her chair by Aelita and sat down.

"Okay, I want to know how I was first falling, then sitting in Ulrich's lap," she blushed darker as she found out she was thinking aloud.

"Well," said Aelita, causing Yumi to jump, "Sissy tripped you, then Ulrich caught you and pulled you up but you still had momentum from the fall and you fell onto his lap."

"Oh," Yumi whispered as the teacher came in. She snuck a peek over her shoulder at Ulrich, who sat behind her with Jeremy, and saw him looking at her, a gentle smile on his face. She quickly turned her attention back to the teacher and took out her notebook. The teacher, Mrs. Mamo (this is actually a real person… except she teaches fourth graders…), turned around to write something on the board and Yumi started as she felt a piece of paper hit her square between the shoulder blade. On the floor, there was a little piece of paper folded into a football and on the outside it had her name on it.

She quickly made sure the teacher wasn't looking and placed her shoe on it, sliding it over so that it was within reach. Picking it up, she glanced at Mrs. Mamo again and opened the note.

Yumi, are you okay? I'm sorry if Ulrich hurt you… the creep. Would you be willing to go out with me today? It's Friday, so we won't have to worry about a curfew.

-William-

'I would rather go out with a dead sewer rat than him, the idiot. And calling Ulrich a creep? He saved me from falling and hurting myself!' Yumi fumed and wrote "NO!" in big letters with a red marker. She threw it at William and he opened it eagerly. A frown creased his forehead and he tried to write something else, but the teacher snatched up the note and read it.

"Mr. Dunbar, please do not pass notes in my class. If you're having problems with your love life then prepare be put down AFTER my class. Don't bother a poor little girl with getting in trouble, because I guarantee that she will hold a grudge," and with that the teacher threw the note in the trashcan with the whole class laughing. Ulrich caught Yumi's eye. She immediately turned away.

'What if he hates me? What if he thinks I sat on him on purpose? What if- oh I just need to stop it with the 'what ifs',' she thought to herself. She felt a tap on her shoulder as the bell rang (the class went by fast, I know… bear with me). She gathered her stuff and turned around. Ulrich was standing there. He took her hand and kissed it.

"See you next period," he smiled. She beamed and followed him out of the door. He went to Typing while she went to Art. Her next two classes went by quickly, especially 3rd period. When the bell signaled it was time for lunch, Ulrich came up beside Yumi.

"You ready?" he asked. She nodded and they made their way to the office.

"Let's see who won."

When they got to the bulletin board, the entire hall was empty.

"I guess we got let out early," said Ulrich. They both walked up and looked at the pink list that was pinned up.
