Life and Soccer 2

Don't Go Alone

Yumi walked down the halls, looking for Jake.

"Yumi, I've been looking for you."

The icy tone sent chills up the Japanese girl's back.

"No doubt you were in Ulrich's room, right?" Jake asked, walking up behind her.

Yumi was afraid to move. She suddenly wished she hadn't come alone to do this as she turned to face him. He had a smile, but Yumi could still feel that dangerous vibe from him.

"We need to talk Jake.." The beauty whispered.

Jake's grin turned into a snicker, "Your wanting to break up, right? Well, dear little Yumi, that can't happen."

He grabbed her wrist, pulling her away after him. She didn't budge, so he let the grip he had tighten, as she let out a whimper. "No Jake, its over. I'm going to report you for trying to hit me too. Look, I have the bruises." He turned to see her push down the collar of her shirt, revealing dark blue marks.

He then let out a laugh, letting go of her arm. "You will tell no one!" He said, lifting his hand and bringing it across Yumi's perfect features. She acted like nothing had happened, but he could see the red mark forming on her cheek. "Do I make myself clear?"

Yumi didn't answer, but Jake knew she had silently admitted defeat. She gave him a glare, and shaking with fury she walked off, leaving Jake smiling with pleasure.

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

The next day Yumi walked to breakfast, head bent low. Aelita had seen the mark on her face and asked what happened, but Yumi had made a lame excuse, 'I fell'.

She stepped in, lifting her head, and of course the first person she sawwas Ulrich.

She walked in, and Ulrich made eye contact the second she looked up. She was wearing a superfluous amount of makeup, but he could still see a red mark on her right cheek. She smiled at him, but shook her head 'no' when he shot her a 'did you break up with him?' glance.

"I'm going to get seconds, be right back." He stood, making his way to Yumi in the line.

"Hey," he said, poking her in the side. She smiled again, but there was a shadow in her look.

"Hi.."

"What happened?" He asked, lifting his hand to brush her face. She flinched, her shoulder going up as if to protect herself. "Yumi, I wouldn't ever hit you, whats wrong?"

She opened her mouth to say something, but looked over his shoulder and shut it. Her eyes suddenly lost their spark, and she turned away from him.

"Oh, Ulrich, I see your catching up with my girlfriend." He heard a man say behind him. Jake glanced over at him, walking up to Yumi and putting an arm around her shoulders.

I thought her shoulders were hurt.. Ulrich thought, as he continued to glare at the newcomer.

"Yes, me and Yumi worked it out, didn't we babe?" He asked. Yumi didn't say a word, she just stared at Ulrich. She's trying to tell me something.. Ulrich eyes flickered from Yumi to Jake's hand, as he saw him squeeze her shoulder. Yumi blinked her glassy eyes, "Yeah, sure. Whatever."

She shook his hand off and walked away. He's forcing her to do everything! The brown haired boy finally concluded, as Jake flicked him off and walked away.

Ulrich stood there, dumbfounded as he saw Yumi's blackened wrist. How can he hurt Yumi? Well, if he wants a fight, then thats what he's going to get.
