Chapter Sixteen Ileana's advantages
Ulrich and Alex sat on opposite sides of the bench. Ileana had told everyone they were dating which they were not. Well it had some advantages. Sissy stuck her nose up in the air as she passed them instead of saying anything to Ulrich. And disadvantages. Yumi was distant. Practically every girl wouldn't talk to Alex.

"It's alright." He said. She pulled away.

"why?"
"XANA is here. You go I'll hold him off" Ulrich ran. "What do you want?"
