Ha! It took you all less than a day to write 31 reviews! I didn't expect that, so I guess my plan backfired on me! XD, Anyways, I'm still thanking Yayfulness for giving me the idea for the story--((of COURSE you get 50 percentof this!)) As for one review that said try and make it go to a rating of M-- I don't think thats going to happen...

Life and Soccer 2

Jogging Partner

The next day went by slowly, because Ulrich was busy studying for a history test with Yumi's help.

"So, they attacked here.."

"No, they attacked HERE!" Yumi huffed back, pointing to the right place. She had been telling him the same thing for over an hour, and she was starting to get agitated. "Where you pointed to is the place where it ENDED. Started," She pointed to the spot before, "ENDED!" And she moved her finger to the place Ulrich had pointed.

"Oh... So they ended here and started here?" He asked, trying to hide his laughter.

"NO! You got them mixed up! I JUST told you the right answer!" She cried, slamming her elbows on the table as she rubbed her face.

Ulrich chuckled slightly, "I know, I'm just joking. Calm down Yumi, I get it!" He said, nudging her a little in the side.

"Don't tell me to calm down. You need to study to get back on the soccer team- you need to take it SERIOUSLY!" She replied, lifting her face from her hands. He caught her gaze and smiled a little while winking, as Yumi tried to hide the fact she was blushing.

She turned, grabbing her bag, "Ok, Ulrich, I'm going out to lunch with Aelita and Jeremy. When I get back, I expect to find you done with your work!" She said, as she grabbed the door knob.

"You sound like my mother... Or my teacher! Since when did this happen?" He asked, as he followed her out the door. He put his hands on her waist and turned her around, hugging her tiny form to his.

"Don't flirt with me to try and make me less hard on you." Yumi answered, trying to push away and not look into his eyes.

"Heh, is it working?"

She paused, getting caught up in his brown gaze, until she smiled and kissed him quickly on the lips, as she walked away and called back over her shoulder, "It's working a little."

Ulrich grinned, slipping his hands into his pockets and walking back into the tourture room of study. ((sorry, I had to add it, XD. I hate school...that includes studying..))

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yumi met up with the new couple outside by Jeremy's car, "So, where are we going?" Yumi asked, as she hopped into the back.

"No where fancy, just fast food or something." Aelita replied.

"Aelita, after we get something to eat, I'm going to go visit my parent's. It's right next to the school, so Jeremy can drop us off and we can walk back, but they have an amazing jogging path behind their house. We can go and talk about stuff. Wana come?"

"Uhh, sure, if Jeremy doesn't mind." The other girl answered, turning to Jeremy.

"Well, I mean, if you want to." Replied the boy, as she leaned over and kissing him on the cheek.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the girls left Yumi's parent's house, they turned right and started on the 3 mile path. After about 10 minutes of talking and joking, they heard a person coming up behind them, so they both went a little to the left, thinking they would just pass. Instead of passing, the person filled up the empty space on their left and turned to the girls.

"Hey, my name is Jake. Your Yumi, right? Your in my math class, I'm new here, so you probably don't know me." He held out a hand, and Yumi took it, looking him over. He was taller than her, with skaterboy blonde hair and bright green eyes. He had a nice body, and looked like he also worked out alot, and Yumi's heart ALMOST skipped a beat.

"Yes, your right, I am Yumi. This is my friend, Aelita, but she's a grade younger than us." He took Aelita's hand and smiled at her, and his smile ALMOST made Yumi's heart skip again. If I hadn't met Ulrich, I would of said he is the hottest guy I've ever seen. Thats if I HADN'T met Ulrich, which I have.. Yumi told herself as she felt her heart's 'almost' moments.

"Well, anytime you want a jogging partner, call me." He said, winking at Yumi before he left.

After the new boy Jake was out of earshot, Aelita turned on her, "He was flirting with you! Your lucky Ulrich isn't here! You two still go out, right? You wouldn't leave Ulrich for him anyways, for one thing you two are totally in love, and two- Ulrich is still the hottest guy in school! Even the older girls think so, and of course the younger ones do-"

"Aelita! Calm down! I'm still dating Ulrich, and I won't leave him! Don't worry about the flirting, guys flirt with me when he's around, and he just gets protective of me. Nothing is going to happen to me and Ulrich." Yumi assured herself more than her friend. Something about the new guy didn't seem right to Yumi, but she still felt somewhat of an attraction towards him. No, you love Ulrich. Something about Jake is strange, and even if it wasn't there, Ulrich is still your man! Yumi knew the thought was true, but there was still SOMETHING, and she couldn't put her finger on it..

Dun dun dun. I'm thinking of the rest of the story, but they are all endings that would probably make my rating go up to M... Just for violence and stuff. Oh well, I'll think of something rating appropriate... ReViEw! Maybe...45 reviews now? Sorry if there get to be 45 and I don't update, school had started again, and yeah... I might update before 45 reviews, but your chances go up when it hits the number!
