Since meeting the new boy yesterday, Yumi had thought about him all the time. Today during math she had waited for him to come in and sit before she followed and sat beside him. Alot of girls where pointing at him and giggling, batting their eyelashes trying to get him to look at them, but he seemed oblivious to it. She had almost followed him and sat down next to him at lunch too, until she saw Ulrich and snapped out of it.

"Uh, Yumi, where are you going?" He called, as she walked by. He hadn't noticed the boy that she seemed to be staring at that was right in frount of the girl.

"I'm uh.. Going... Here!" She thought quickly, turning around and sitting next to him. She smiled at him, but when he went to kiss her on the cheek she pulled away so he couldn't reach her. What's happening? The younger boy thought, as he shrugged it off and kept eating.

"Huh, oh ona ate at?" Odd asked, when he saw Yumi was only poking her food. She laughed, pushing her tray towards the hungry boy.

"No I'm not going to eat it, I'm not that hungry." Yumi stated, as she rested her head on her hands and stared at the table. Aelita was sitting across from the girl, and she looked over at Ulrich, nodding her head towards Yumi. He didn't understand, and looked at her with eyes that questioned "What?" Aelita shook her head at him, as she nodded her head vigorisly at the Japanese girl. He still didn't get it, so Aelita just sighed and tapped Yumi.

"Yumi, I think Ulrich wants to TALK to you.." She said, looking at Ulrich when she emphasized the word. Oh, I get it! He thought, sheepishly smiling at her.

"Oh, okay then.." Yumi said, still not looking at him. She walked out of the door and into the beginning of the forest, sitting down and waiting as her boyfriend came and sat down beside her.

"So... What's up?" He asked, trying to start a conversation. Somehow, them being this close right now was akward, even though it hadn't ever been like that before.

"Nothing much.." She answered, still looking away from him.

"Well, somethings bothering you, what is it?"

"NOTHING IS BOTHERING ME, LEAVE ME ALONE!" She jumped up and slowly walked back to her dorm, as Ulrich sat there still trying to grasp the fact that she had just yelled at him. What is happening with her? He asked himself, as he walked back into the cafateria and acted as if nothing had happened.

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

Later that night, Ulrich paced outside of Yumi's door. He battled with himself, rather to open it and ask again, or let her cool down. After about 5 minutes of thinking, he turned to leave just as Yumi walked out of the room.

"Ulrich?"

"Oh, uh, hey Yumi!"

"We need to talk. Follow me." She said, trying to smile, even though he could hear the sadness in her voice. She grabbed his sleeve, pulling him away into a corner, as she turned to face him. He smiled, and bent down to kiss her, but once again she pulled away.

"Yumi, what is wrong with you? I thought we were good!" The boy asked, finally getting frustrated with the lack of returning love.

"Um.. Well, I think we should uh... Should... See other people?" She said, in a questioning voice. He stood there shocked, because this was the girl he loved, and would always love. No, she's joking.. He thought, about to laugh until he saw the serious look on Yumi's face. He knew it was unlike guys to cry, but it was getting extremely hard not to do so right about now.

"Seriously..? Fine then, whatever." He said, as he turned and walked away.

"I mean, just for a little while!" Yumi called quickly after him. She knew she loved him, but what Jake was doing to her made it to complicated to try and deal with. Her tears had already started to fall, as she walked back into her room to change for soccer practice.

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

Was it something I did? She's the first girl to say 'no' to dating me, and the first to break up with me. She's the only girl I'll ever love, and I know she loves me back. LOVED me back? Ulrich had his head stuffed into his pillow as he thought things over. Odd walked in right as Ulrich yelled into his soft cushion and slammed his palms into the bed.

"Woah dude, you tryin to kill your bed or something?" The blonde haired boy asked, as he walked over to his bunk and looked over his pitiful friend.

"Yumi just broke up with me." The sulking boy answered, still not removing his head from the pillow. Not that he was still thinking or anything, he was just trying to hide the fact he was crying.

"Are you serious? You two love birds? Hell, I never thought of that.." Odd answered, still thinking it was a joke.

"This isn't the time to be funny, Odd!"

"I'm sorry, man. Hey, I'm leaving for practice, I'll ask her whats up for you, ok?" Odd asked, dropping the act. Ulrich merely nodded, and Odd left the room, knowing Ulrich was trying to hide his tears.

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

"Ok team, as you know Ulrich was suspended because of his grades, and we needed a new member. Well, it just so happens that the newest member of the school is now the newest member of our team!" Yumi was in a bad mood, and her eyes were still a little red. Odd made his way over to her, and tapped her on the shoulder. The girl turned around just in time to miss the new member.

"Yumi, whats up with you and Ulrich breaking up?" He asked, as Emily turned towards him.

"You and Ulrich BROKE UP?" She asked, in a somewhat horrified wisper. Yumi just glared at her, sending the message to shut up and mind her own buisness.

"Yes. I just needed some space, time alone." She answered them both.

"Ulrich is up in our dorm killing his bed! Why the hell would you do that to him?" The boy asked again, trying not to sound too mean. He was mad at her for breaking his best friend's heart, but he still wanted their friendship to stay.

The Japanese girl was about to spit back venom, but was tapped on the shoulder again.

She was getting angry, and flipped around, "What the HELL do you wan- JAKE?"

Ok, now I know the flames about Ulrich and Yumi breaking up are about to come...Just remember who I've always written about before you jump on the fire.. Yeah, so, I guess review, somewhat nicely XD
