Looking into the Logbook
Chapter 2
Ok, before I start this… I'm gonna say I hope this is up to your expectations. Thankz to all of you who reviewed and I might even have a 3rd chapter if I don't feel like writing a lot of detail here!...But once break is over I don't think I'll update as much because of school and all so here it goes…
Without saying a word Ulrich took the note from Yumi. She walked away without leaving any hint to what the note contained. Yes, she seemed nervous, but she didn't seem like the note was a big deal. Ulrich clenched the note in his hand until it crumpled much like the one he was going to give to Yumi ( ya no…the once Yumi found in the Diary). He heaved a huge sky and the sky turned gray. Oh crap, rain, Ulrich thought. He rushed inside the school before the rain could drench him. He met up with Odd and the others and they walked to Math class.
"Why did Yumi want to talk to you so munch?" Odd was eager to get Ulrich to spill the beans.
----
"She—she gave me a note—to read." Ulrich looked disappointingly at the tiny not he still held in his hands.
"Well, read it!" Aelita urged on. Ulrich opened the note and read it:
Ulrich, what I want to say to you I don't want to say on this paper, but don't get me wrong. I read your diary, and a strange feeling came to me. Meet me by the huge oak tree, the one where we usually stand…after lunch. I need to talk to you.
Ulrich folded the paper and stuck it in his pocket. He kept thinking over the last few words. I need to talk to you. Yeah, he needed to talk to her too, but was she going to tell him what he wanted to hear? Math class began as the teacher requested the students to take out their homework on slope and graphing. The rain came down hard and spattered against the window making a sheet of wetness drip down the window pane. It seemed as if the rain was drowning Ulrich in thoughts of Yumi, and all the same washing away all hope he had of her liking him. If she really liked me, she would have told me in the letter.
"Ulrich!" Their math teacher called, "What is the formula for slope?"
"Uh…m uh…..m…"
"Pay attention! The formula is my1- y2/ x2- x1
"I really hate math…" Ulrich mumbled to Odd.
"Join the club!" Odd stared down at his half completed homework.
Class droned on and the only people who seemed to enjoy it were Jeremie and Aelita. (Figures!)
(Class ends, Odd receives a 20/30 on his homework because it wasn't complete, Ulrich received a 28/30…wow! Ulrich meets up with the others and eventually it's time for lunch.)
Ulrich stood outside the cafeteria in the precipitation what was now down to a mere drizzle. The clouds were spreading apart and the sun was poking through. For some reason he didn't want lunch to end, for the dreaded talk with Yumi would arrive. Was he dreading it? Deciding not to wait for Yumi and to avoid getting drenched, he walked into the cafeteria with Odd.
(They both get their lunches, Odd takes more than everyone. He takes 2 slices of pizza ( he might get seconds too), Ulrich takes 1)
At their lunch table, Ulrich quickly finished his pizza. Aelita stared in amusement, seeing that he finished so quickly. "Uh, Ulrich, are you ok?"
"Yeah." Ulrich lied. He dared not look at Yumi, knowing she would start to alk to him, and that was the last thing he wanted. She thinks I'm an idiot, why the heck did I giver her my diary in the first place? She probably doesn't understand…That was the whole point in showing her, so she would understand me.
"Ulrich?" Yumi broke the silence between them, not able to take it any longer. "Let's go outside…" Yumi walked out the door to the tree and leaned against it, her hair falling in front of her eyes, shielding her view from Ulrich. "You—wanted to talk to me?" Ulrich found his words.
( This is Yumi talking how she talks when she doesn't understand something, like in Laughing Fit) "Yeah, you see, I read your diary, and…somehow, I felt…that I got to know you better. And I wanted you to know that…that…" Yumi held Ulrich's hands in hers and she drew closer. Too close. Ulrich's heart beat raced and he felt complete as he closed his eyes and leaned in…
Yeah…well that's the end of this chapter…yay..it was kinda short... I hope you guys liked it. I wish I could have made it better! Writing is so hard these days. I have SO much to do. Well, that's all…REVIEW please!
