Looking Into the Logbook
Chapter 4
Ok, well this is ch 4 and I hope you like it! I want to thank ALL my reviewers and I hope you keep reading and reviewing. Ok…now for the chapter!
Yumi pushed William off of her. "What did you do that off for?" Yumi bellowed. I would have pushed away but I was in such an awkward position. Ulrich saw everything. Now what am I going to do? Yumi dashed out of the swimming pool up to Ulrich's dorm.
(In Ulrich's dorm)
Knock Knock knock
"Yumi, I know it's you. Go away. The last thing I need is to talk to you or your idiotic boyfriend William."
"Ulrich, will you please just let me explain?"
"Yumi, I don't care what you have to say. It doesn't matter so just leave me ALONE!" Yumi could hear Ulrich inside sniffling. Yumi broke down crying and dashed down to Aelita's dorm. She busted the room door open to find all of her others friends standing there. Odd and Jeremie wore befuddled why- the-heck-did-you-do-that kind of look. "You crushed Ulrich, you know. He really likes you." Odd said. "I better go comfort him," and Odd dashed off towards his room. Yumi stood against the wall brushing tears away from her stained face.
"He wont even let me explain. It's not my fault William kissed me. I didn't even know he liked me."
"Yumi, I think the only way you can win back Ulrich is to tell him exactly what happened." Aelita looked comfortingly at Yumi.
" THAT'S WHAT I JUST TRIED TO DO BUT HE TOLD ME TO GO AWAY!" Yumi covered her frustrated face with her hands. Her voice softened down to a near whisper. " He just told me he liked me and now he hates me." Jeremie said nothing, but walked out of the room to go meet up with Ulrich.
"Give him time. Then maybe, you can tell him you're sorry in a letter of some sort." Aelita assured her that all would be okay in a matter of time. Yumi disagreed. "I'm going home to take a shower. I'll also write a letter…or something different."
back in Ulrich's room
"Ulrich, why don't you let her explain?" Jeremie said.
" I TOLD YOU I DON'T CARE ABOUT HER ANYMORE! She can…go out with William for all I care." Everyone knew that was a lie, even Ulrich himself. He fixed his gaze on the wrinkled sheets on his bed"
"You're lying," Odd prodded him.
"I want to be alone." Ulrich said and Odd and Jeremie left the room.
(Back at Yumi's house)
Yumi got in the shower and let the water wash away all her pain and anguish. When she was finished, she got dressed and sat on her bed thinking of ways to tell Ulrich she was sorry. She thought back to the poem that touched her heart, the poem Ulrich had written for her on valentines day and read it to Sissi out of jealousy. A poem... Yumi took out her notebook and began writing:
The clouds
Forming a barrier
Around my thoughts
My expression
My love.
Engulfing my feelings
In a small box
I was unable to expressing myself
To you.
You came,
You cleared
The clouds from above
Letting my soul soar to the skies
And away.
You unleashed my feelings
You unleashed my thoughts
You unleashed my dreams
You threw away my sorrow
But the rain came down
When the cloud came back
And the love was washed away
Disintegrating the bond that was formed
I long, forever, to speak
To you
To tell you
To feel you
To love you.
You are the bringer of my dreams
You are the bringer or my happiness
You are the core of my soul
You are the love in my life.
You are all I see
You are all my dreams
You are all I want
Our bond once again.
You are the only one
To make me alive
You are the only one
That completes my world.
Ulrich please let me explain to you. yumi
Yumi read over the poem and sighed. It wasn't the greatest poem, but it got the message across. Gently tearing out the poem she closed her notebook and stared off into space.
(back to Ulrich)
Ulrich took out his diary that Yumi had returned to him. He had never trusted someone so much with his stuff and now he felt worse than rejected. Ulrich wrote down all his miserable thoughts.
That night the two of them drifted off into a painful and restless sleep.
The next morning arrived with the sun shining vibrantly. Yumi met up with the others at school even though it was a Sunday. It was 10:00 and Ulrich avoided his group because Yumi was there. He went off with Sissi.
"Aelita, can you give this to Ulrich?" Yumi handed her the poem with the small note at the bottom. "I know Ulrich is mad at me, but what is he doing with Sissi?" She glanced awkwardly at the two. Sissi was holding Ulrich's hands.
"Oh Ulrich, I knew you would want to take me to the dance, especially after what SHE did." Sissi crooned.
"Whatever. Yeah, I'm happy too," Ulrich flatly lied. Sissi spitefully gleamed at Yumi in the distance. "Well, I'll see you at the dance!"
"Yeah, ok. Bye Sissi." Ulrich walked over to his group ignoring Yumi's attempts to talk to him. "Ulrich can I—" Yumi got irritated at the fact that he was ignoring her. " well, if you're going to be stubborn and don't want to find out the truth then be that way." Yumi stormed off as the blood rushed to her face, unable to take the aggravation any longer.
"This is for you, Ulrich" Aelita handed Ulrich the poem and Jeremie peered over his shoulder as Ulrich read it in his mind. His heart sank a thousand miles. Great, I asked Sissi to the dance. What if Yumi really didn't mean what happened? Ulrich turned to Odd.
"Well, go talk to her. That was a real sweet poem. All she wants is to talk to you. Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
"Ok. I'll call her. Later, though." Ulrich looked at the awfully perky Sissi in the distance, probably shoving it in other girls faces that she was going to the dance with Ulrich.
"You didn't ask her to the dance, did you?" Odd said looking at the expression on Ulrich's blank face.
"Uh, yeah"
"You are such a moron." Odd stated.
"Who says I forgive Yumi anyway?"
"No one. It's written all over your face." Odd grinned and Ulrich stormed off thinking about the poem.
Ulrich picked up his phone and dialed Yumi's number. "Yumi?"
"Ulrich?"
"Yeah. You wanted to talk?" Ulrich spoke slowly but in a gruff annoyed tone.
"Ulrich…I didn't kiss him back. I was in such an awkward position, I couldn't pull away. Im sorry. I pushed him off of me when I was able to stand up but…actually you might think I'm just saying this but I feel Sissi had something to do with this." Yumi blurted everything out in a hurry, as if she wasn't able to contain the information within her any longer.
"Yumi, First you kiss William and now you're telling me SISSI is behind this? That's not even possible. If your going to make up lies I'll just hang—." Ulrich's voice inflected.
" NO ULRICH! Listen. I saw them talking…before we got in the pool."
"people can talk, its not against the law."
"I know, but William kept staring at me, and Sissi, well I'm sure she was trying to get him to kiss me…she was saying things like ' I know you like her' and all"
"Well, if she was behind this she sure got lucky." Ulrich believed the words that came from Yumi's mouth even if they seemed illusory. Or were they? Sissi was always up to things …and the inflection in Yumi's voice was more truthful than ever.
"Well, Ulrich, I'm really sorry. I really am. You mean a lot to me."
"I forgive you. I know and understand. I still like you a lot you know."
"Oh Ulrich, well, are you going to the dance with anyone?"
"Um no." Ulrich hesitantly replied.
"Oh. Well I was thinking…"
"Yumi will you go to the dance with me?" Ulrich didn't tell Yumi about asking Sissi to the dance. At the moment, all he wanted to do was embarrass her for her dirty tricks.
"Of course!" Yumi cracked a warm smile and flushed intensely. Too bad Ulrich couldn't see her expression.
"Bye, Ulrich. I'm coming over to the school. I'm really bored."
"Bye, Yumi." Hanging up, Ulrich strode over to Sissi.
"Sissi, I'm not going to the dance with you. I'm going with Yumi"
"I--WHAT?"
"Your idiotic plan failed because Yumi and I have a stronger friendship then you'll even have with anyone." Ulrich's face put on a furtive expression.
"But –how did---you—that's—"
"Bye, Sissi. And you know, there's always one person who would be willing to go with you any day."
" WHO?"
"Herve." Ulrich put on a devious smile.
Ulrich ran up to his friends and told him the news. "That's wonderful," cheered Aelita. Coming towards them they saw Yumi who embraced Ulrich. "I knew you would understand."
"Yeah, and I know how we can get revenge at Sissi. We'll deal with William later."
(At the dance the next day)
Yumi looked stunning in her black skirt and red shirt. She wore black boots ( not those ugly skinny heeled ones.) and a smile that was precious. Odd went with Heidi and Jeremie and Aelita were together. Inside the dance, Ulrich and Yumi danced together. Herve was standing in front of Sissi who looked like an angered bull. Yumi knocked into Herve by "accident" and he fell on top of Sissi, smacking his lips on hers.
"Oh Sissi, I love you!"
"Get off you disgusting creep!" Sissi shoved Herve across the floor. "You'll pay for that!" She glared at Herve, then Ulrich and Yumi.
"I love you , Yumi."
"I love you too."
With that, the dance progressed as a wonder under the star-lit sky. That is, for everyone except Sissi.
Ok, that's the end! Please tell me if it was stupid or lame or nice. I didn't know how else to end it, and usually I'm not such a terrible poem writer. My poems are actually good except for the one in here. I don't know when I will write my next story, but review and when you do, tell me what you thought, even of the poem.
