AN: Eeep! Has it really been this long since I've updated? I'm soooo sorry! I've been trying to write but things like college, a recent heartbreak, and slight illness have hampered my progress. Girls, remember this… BOYS ARE EVIL! Sorry guys… I had to warn them.. When so many of you (meaning guys in general) have hurt me, it's no surprise I'm a bit… unhappy with you all :P No worries, most men are ok, there's just that select few…. Since I can't answer reviews in the author note, I'll answer a few general questions I've received. First, Ulrich gave back the knife because it truly wasn't his property and it'd be better for Theo to be found with the knife than Ulrich. Also, Ulrich went down without a fight because he was caught completely by surprise by his attacker. Ok, I won't make you wait any longer… CHAPTER TIME! Read, review, and enjoy!
By the time Yumi had checked majority of the cabins, her temper had cooled considerably. The last cabin that needed to be checked was Ulrich's. A quick glance in the window confirmed that all was well with its occupants. Yumi turned away to head to the girls' cabins, then froze. Could it have been? Spinning back around, she pressed her face against the glass and looked at Ulrich's bed. Eyes narrowed in anger, she stormed over to the door and was barely able to keep from throwing it open. It took all of her self-control to open the door quietly and sneak inside rather than stomp in. Creeping up to Ulrich's bed, she eyed her prey: the slim blue-green journal. Lifting it from its resting place half-hidden under the blanket, Yumi snuck back out, her mind seething.

How could he? Why would he? I thought I could trust him!
Hot tears of shame and embarrassment welled up in her eyes as she realized what Ulrich must all know now since he had read her diary. Is that why he's been acting differently today? Maybe he really does care… No! If he cared, he wouldn't have stolen my diary and invaded my privacy! I will never forgive him for this.

Yumi checked the rest of the cabins, her pace an angry stride, and she decided she wasn't going to meet Ulrich at the lake dock. Instead, she prowled the camp until her patrol was over, then reported to the mess hall, where Odd and Ari took over.

"Where's Ulrich?" Odd asked as she walked in.

"Probably already went back to his cabin to invade someone else's privacy," she spat, still fuming.

"Oh… ok," Odd said, confused.

Yumi stormed out of the mess hall, the slim journal still clenched in her left hand. It took a lot of her willpower to keep her from slamming the door to her cabin as she entered. Deciding to document this day, she pulled out her flashlight and a pen and opened the journal. Her eyes skimmed the last few lines of the previous entry, and the pen dropped from her limp fingers and hit her bed. The handwriting… the words… this was not her journal. Yumi's cheeks flashed scarlet as she realized that she had done what she was mentally accusing Ulrich of doing.

I should return it before he notices. But wait… the last entry… he talks about reading my diary! It's only fair, then…


AN: I know it was short.. But it was something! Finals week is coming up so I might not update again until Christmas break. Happy holidays, everyone! Please leave a review before you leave, thanks!
