.:/AN/:. Alright! I got one review! And that special reviewer is... codelyoko2004!!! Thank you so much and I'm dedicating my next chapter to you! And to be honest, I think it's the best one so far. Lucky you! Anyway, here's the next chapter. Please R&R!---

Chapter 4: Please

Jeremie's POV:

"Yumi, you have to speak with him," I pleaded desperately. "He's hasn't been himself ever since Lance showed up."

"What's wrong with him?" she asked, clueless as to where I was heading.

Geez, do I have to spell it out for you?

I had seen the way Ulrich had reacted when he had seen Lance eyeing Yumi and the way he freaked when he saw them on the grounds, holding hands. I also could guess why Ulrich was upset with me for suggesting that Lance joined them. I wasn't able to figure out the whole deal, but I had a pretty good idea.

"Yumi, he needs to talk to you!" I practically shouted. "You're the only one who can reach him right now!"

"Why not Odd?" she asked, confused as to why it was up to her.

"Because Odd already tried talking to him, but Ulrich just locked himself in the bathroom, turned on the shower, blow dryer, and sink so that he couldn't hear him speak."

"Why do you think that I could actually get through to him?" she asked yet again.

I finally got it that she knew why it was her; she just didn't want to accept the fact that it was true. I knew that Yumi wasn't that dense.

"Please, Yumi," I asked quietly. "You know Ulrich well. Just try to talk to him. Maybe he'll listen to you. Just... just don't mention you and Lance, okay?"

"Okay, Jeremie, I won't pretend anymore. It's just... I never thought that this would have that big of an effect on him. If he really feels that way about me, then why didn't he just come out and say it?"

"Same reason you didn't," was all I said.

Yumi blushed. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Okay, I'll go talk to him now. He's in his room, right?"

"Yeah, Odd decided to leave Ulrich alone for awhile, as amazing as that sounds."

"Right. I'll see you later, Jeremie. And thanks."

"Don't mention it. And don't mention Lance."

"Gotcha. Bye!" and with that, she left my dorm and headed down to Ulrich's and Odd's.

.:/AN/:. Okay, I lied about not having short chapters, but, I swear, they will be long. They will! I'm still working on my next chapter, so it will probably be a little while. Oh, and I would like to thank codelyoko2004 again for the review. Please R&R on your way out!
