Earlier in the week, the gang had agreed to meet up at the bowling alley at the weekend.
AT THE BOWLING AREA
"Ha-ha they was so much fun, I haven't had that much fun since kadic" laughed Odd placing his bowling shoes on the counter.
The gang had just finished their game of bowling and was heading out to eat.
"Who would have thought that Ulrich could have beaten me? Huh?" Odd said laughing
Everyone else just laughed.
Their spirits were high, they had had a great time with each other; laughing, joking, teasing one another, talking about their times at kadic and how secretive most of it had been due to x.a.n.a.
They were heading for the diner when:
"Ulrich! Yumi! Heya didn't know you was going to be here. You just said you were meeting friends, and I'm presuming these are your friends?" Matthew had said nearly all in one breath.
Aelita, Jeremie and Odd just looked at the guy amazed at what he had just said in a short amount of time.
"Yeah they are" Yumi said rather defensively
Everyone noticed her tone and looked at her
"Will you just lay off? It was a mistake whether or not Faith had said I was leading her on, I wasn't. She flirted with me"
"And that makes it alright to kiss her?" Yumi said taking Ulrich's hand about to pull him away from the scene.
"Oh piss off then Yumi" he then walked over to his sister who worked at the bowling alley
"Grrrrr!" Yumi exclaimed and dragged her boyfriend away to the diner. The others, who were stunned, followed.
"So, err what was all that about?" Odd asked Ulrich while the girls and Jeremie had gone to order for everyone
"Well that was Matthew and, well he kissed his girlfriends best friend Faith and our whole gang at uni aren't speaking except well to us like I've said before they're freaked. Yumi didn't like Matthew from the start that much but now she hates him as you probably could tell" Ulrich finished with a sigh
"Oh right does this guy, Matthew, like erm Faith, is it?"
"Yeah that's her name but I don't know about him liking her that way we hardly talk about our feelings to each other"
"What's his girlfriend done?"
"Grace has just gone mad, ripping up everything to do with him, gave him back his stuff that she had, gave him back the stuff that he had given her and he even snogged Ethan, Mat's brother. She really has took to the extreme"
"Oh right" Odd was about to ask another question when Yumi, Aelita and Jeremie returned with the food.
"What were you guys talking about?" Jeremie asked
"Oh nothing I was just telling him about uni" Ulrich said flawlessly
"Oh right"
The 5 friends started eating but that didn't stop them from talking-much!
"So Odd are you and Sam happy with each other?" Aelita asked him stuffing a few fries in her mouth.
"Erm our relationship is a sort of an on/off thing" Odd said regretfully
"Oh" Aelita said, wishing she had never asked the question
"Are you two happy?" Yumi said looking at Jeremie and Aelita
"Yup we sure are aren't we?" Jeremie said proudly
"Couldn't be happier" Aelita smiled
After half an hour of just talking and asking each other questions they all seemed to go in thought mode.
After a while of comfortable silence of thoughts Aelita spoke
"I feel like I could put my trust in you guys again and I wouldn't have to doubt it, not even for a second"
They all nodded
"It's weird though after just one night that we feel we know each other again and can put our trust in one another again isn't it?" Yumi said voicing what she had thought at Aelita's words.
"Yeah in a way it is, but in another I don't think it is. We were such good friends at kadic that I think the trust that we had in each other then is the sort that's easily replaced" Ulrich said
"Yeah I agree with Ulrich" Odd said stuffing some fries in his mouth hungrily
"Ew Odd they're cold!" Yumi said groced out
"I'm hungry, Yumi and besides I haven't changed where food is involved" Odd said laughing with the others
After another hour of talking they left each other agreeing to go to the nightclub, Flarez, On Friday night.
WITH ULRICH AND YUMI
Ulrich had his arm around Yumi's shoulders and Yumi had placed her head on his chest while they walked in silence.
"You ok?" Ulrich asked when Yumi had leaned in more towards her.
"Yeah course I am, just thinking"
"What about?"
"How tonight went"
"What do you think of it?"
"Yeah it went good, it looks like we've got our old friends back doesn't it?"
"It sure does babe" Ulrich said kissing her forehead
WITH ODD
Odd was thinking to himself as usual
Yeah, that had gone so much better than the café scene
And it even looks like I've got my best friends back all I wish now is that I could get Sam back……….she's only with Dave to make me jealous even Nat had said that but how? How do I get back with her?
WITH JEREMIE AND AELITA
"Cant wait for Friday night, it's going to be fun!" Aelita said
"Yeah it should be fun I haven't had a drink in ages" Jeremie laughed
"I can't wait to go dancing. Remember when we last went clubbing together?"
"Yeah Yumi and you rocked the dance floor" Jeremie laughed again
"Yeah it was fun; this time should be more fun though!" Aelita said hardly containing her excitement.
