Cyber Love

A/N: I'm sorry. What else is there to say? I'm sorry for tending to my life more than to this story. :) There, better apology!
But I suppose I need to give another apology. This might suck... because uh, I wrote this in December, and well, my writing skills are sucky.
They still are. I need to polish them. They're rusting. Arghhh.
Please read and review anyway!

Yumi woke up the next morning, the Sun shining through the trees. She squinted her eyes and smiled. She loved sunlight. It gave her energy; it made her happy.
She sprang up, with renewed hope.
She let out a cry and sunk back to the ground. She felt the Sun dim, as if the Sun were looking down at her and feeling sorry. She looked at the dried blood on the grass, and felt sick.
It was her blood. She instantly remembered yesterday's memories, and winced. She glanced at the deep cut in her ankle, a faint throbbing in her head as she touched it.
She pressed it a bit harder, and instantly reeled back her hand in utter pain. The sound that came out of her mouth sounded like a snake hissing in absolute pain. She felt the tears come up as she looked at the deep, red, bloody cut.
It hurt so badly. She wanted to go home where her mother would be waiting for her, with the fresh smell of soup wafting around her, where a hug would be waiting for her if she ever needed one.
Then she stopped herself.
Were they even looking for her?
She shrank in despair. Did they even notice they were gone? Did they? Her cut would definitely get infected soon. It was hurting. Badly, and more badly. Her stomach hurt from hunger.
The hunger and pain created almost a stupor on her, and she fell asleep, a single tear traveling down her pale cheek.

The next day, Ulrich told Odd to tell his teachers that he was going out to look for Yumi today.
"You got it so bad, man." Odd shook his head. "You should have told me you were looking for her yesterday, I would have helped."
"Naw, you were busy flirting with Sam anyway.." Ulrich looked out the window.
Odd blushed. "She's cute."
"Mm."
"I'll tell the teachers. You go get her, tiger." Odd grinned toothily and left.
Ulrich rolled his eyes and dropped onto his pillow. His mind wandered off.
And in some time, he slept, tired and feeling sicker by the minute.
-
His body shook.
He mumbled, digging his head into his pillow. He received a panicked whack to the head.
"Argh."
"ULRICH! You're alive!" Odd sighed with relief. "Did you sleep the entire time?"
"… I only slept for five minu-" Ulrich glanced at the clock, his mouth agape. "The clock's broken!"
"Uh. No. It's 3 PM."
"But- that means… I was. Yumi!" He gacked.
Odd listened.
Silence.
"RRGHHHH!!!" Ulrich thrust his head into the pillow. "SHE MIGHT BE DEAD BY NOW WITH NO FOOD OR WATER!"
"Way to be positive, old buddy." Odd patted Ulrich on the shoulder.
"RGHH!!" he groaned again.
"Um. Man. You can just go now." Odd feebly suggested.
Ulrich sprang up, took his car keys and abruptly left.
"Wow, that was awkward."

Yumi's salty tears dissolved into her mouth. She licked them hungrily. She hadn't eaten for a day, perhaps more.
Yumi could only depend on the Sun and the stars. She frowned, staring at a few ants scurrying across the ground. Trying to stand up, her ankle gave out, and she collapsed back onto the rock she sat on, exhausted already. Then her eyes settled back onto the ants, her stomach anxiously stirring up the desire for food.
"Mm… tasty..." she murmured anxiously, reaching for the ants. Her hunger seemed to be overtaking her body. She'd read a lot of books where people could survive for more than 5 days. She'd heard from her science teacher you could usually survive for about a week or so without food.
She frowned again. She was not one of those people.
The ants bumped into each other frantically, trying to escape her hands.
She suddenly stopped her hands, staring. What in the hell was she doing?
Yumi stopped, and sat back onto her rock, sighing. Was anyone even looking for her? She doubted it.
She would stay here forever, and someday, some lone traveler will spot her dead, and by then, everyone would have forgotten her. Yes, she hated being a pessimistic drama queen.
She cried.

"YUMI! YUMI! WHERE ARE YOU?" Ulrich shouted at the top of his lungs.
"If I find her, I'm going to give her a huge piece of my mind," he muttered. "Running off like that."
"YUMI!!" he tried again, making his voice hoarse. He heard a bit of rustling deep inside the woods as he drove. He opened all of the windows and the roof of his convertible and listened as he again screamed out her name.
He heard footsteps. He quickly parked his car, and stuck his head out of the window. Then he opened the car door, and stepped towards the woods.
The footsteps became louder. As he blinked, he was held tightly by a pair of strong arms. Instinctively, he shrugged and shoved that person off as he opened his eyes.
"AAHH!"-
A/N: Okay, I really, really will try to update more. Really. So please review! If you do, it'll give me motivation! haha :) --Jenn
