Too Much Sweet and Sour
Odd
I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't believe it.
I'm so sorry.
I guess you're going to do it...
Goodbye..
"Yumi, don't joke like that." I told her, pulling my head phones off. Here I was, minding my own business on my bed with some music, when Yumi knocks, asks if Ulrich is in here, and when I say no comes and tells me this stupid story.
"I'm not joking Odd. I need to leave, get away from this... place..." The girl tells me. Her eyes seem to of lost their happy glint to them ever since it happened.
--Flashback--
Ulrich and I are sitting in history, paying attention like always. Haha, just joking. Anyways, me and Ulrich are sitting here in history playing paper football when the loud speaker comes on.
'Can Yumi Ishiyama please report to the principals office immediately? Thank you.'
What's up with that? I thought, as flick the paper triangle towards Ulrich's hands. It hits him on the head, since he doesn't seem to be paying attention at all. Then I feel it. That funny sensation you get in your stomach when your about to laugh your head off. As soon as Ulrich raises his hand to ask something, I fall out of my seat from the laughing attack.
"Mrs. Hertz, can I go to the bathroom?" The boy next to me asks. I'm basicallyonthe floorin giggles by now, the teacher and him staring at me.
"Yes, Ulrich, you may go. Odd, why don't you go too, get yourself a drink while your at it.." So, still laughing, I drag myself out of the classroom. As I wave good-bye to Ulrich as I leave to go to the water fountain, I think, 'Why is Ulrich going to the office? The bathroom isn't there..'
I shrug it off, wiping the water off my mouth as I walk back to history.
-------------------------------------------------
By my next class, Ulrich still hadn't returned from his little bathroom break, and I was starting to wonder what happened. Then, half way through L.A, here he walks in, the front of his shirt more on the side of soaked.
"So nice of you to join us, Ulrich! Thats a write up, please take your seat."
The boy slides into the seat next to me, as I ask, "Where were you?"
"Odd, Yumi's parents just died."
--End Flashback--
I'm so sorry.
"Calm down, Yumi. Running away isn't going to help. Anyways, look outside; it's pouring out there!" I open my window's blinds and sure enough, it's almost like a hurricane.
"I don't care. I have to go now or... Or I don't know, but it won't be good!" She yells at me. I can see the tears brimming her lids.
"Yumi, please don't do this. Think of your friends, of me. Of Ulrich.." I knew I had hit a soft spot. She's changed since that little incident too..
--Flashback--
Almost 2 months after her parents death, Yumi seems to be fine in my eyes. Or, she's fine when Ulrich is with her.
Either way, I'm just happy she didn't go into full-out depression.
"Hello, Ulrich dear. Why are you hanging out with orphan girl?"
Of course, Sissy's here to ruin everything. Yumi's hands turn into fists as she stands to beat the crap out of Sissy, but Ulrich's hand and whisper of, "No, Yumi, she's not worth it." Sits her back down.
'Hmm, I would've liked to see Yumi kill Sissy..' I think, as Ulrich gets up instead.
"Sissy, get it through your big fat head that I don't like you, I'm not your dear, you have no right to call Yumi anything, and everyone hates you!" Ulrich says. I snicker, as Sissy steps back with fury in her eyes.
"Don't talk to me like that! But since I like you, I'll forgive you." She steps forward 'I don't like where this is going..' I think, as she finishes, "And to show you I do.." She leans her head in, making contact with Ulrich's lips. I almost wanted to gag.
Scratch that, I did gag. A quick movement from my left interrupts my throwing-up process as Yumi jumps up, running towards the school. Ulrich pushed Sissy off of him about 2 seconds too late, for Yumi had already left.
No matter how many times Ulrich apologized to her, Yumi always said she was fine, but acted strange around him. Acted like she still hadn't forgave him.
--End Flashback--
"DON'T bring him up, Odd!" She yells at me, picking up a book and throwing it to the ground. I grab Kiwi out of harms way, as it flies past his short tail.
I guess you're going to do it...
"Yumi, he loves you, don't you get it?" Can't she just get that through her thick skull! Better not say that out loud, she armed with books.. I know it isn't the best time to be joking around, but when I get into tight spots it's the only thing I CAN do.
"No, he loves Sissy." She answers, grabbing her bag.
Goodbye..
"No Yumi, he doesn't. Maybe your too scared to face it, but he doesn't. He does, and probably always will, love you." I said, trying to convince her.
She only smiled. That smile, full of pain and misery and want and need. That smile that haunted my thoughts. The first sad smile she ever gave me, the 'goodbye' smile.
"I'm so sorry." She whispered, turning towards the door. She walked silently towards it, placing her hand lightly on the knob.
"I guess you're going to do it..." I thought aloud. Yumi, you'll always be my best girl-friend. Not to be confused with the dating term. Yumi was my best friend that was a girl. Ulrich was my best friend that was a guy.
She turned, a grin appearing on her face again, as if she had read my 'you'll always be my best friend' thought. I could of sworn that the words 'I won't ever forget you, Odd' came into my head, as if Yumi had said them aloud.
"Goodbye.." She turned and left, shutting the door behind her.
It was as if our finale three sentences had written themselves onto my brain.
I'm so sorry.
I guess you're going to do it...
Goodbye..

--------------10 years later----------------------
"Ulrich, heads up!" I yell, as I kick it high and send it towards Ulrich's head. He jumps, and misses as the ball goes flying towards into the trees and towards the bus stop.
"Dude, your losing your grip! You can't even head the ball anymore!" I yell after him, as he scowls and runs into the trees to get the ball.
I'm so sorry. God, don't you hate it when you hear something that gets stuck in your head? I know I do.. You see, for normal people the words usually vanish into memory after about 10 or 20 minutes. But no, I, Odd della Robbia, have been cursed. I've heard the same freakin three sentences for 10 years. TEN YEARS! Do you know how long that is?
Where's Ulrich? He's so slow... I think, after he's been gone for maybe 5 minutes.
"Stupid..Trees.." I mumble, as I push and crawl and pull and jump my way through the forest to the sidewalk.
"God, Ulrich, what the hell is takin' you so long?" I ask, as I brush twigs out of my hair and dirt of my pants, waiting for an answer. Little did I know I wasn't going to be getting it from him.
"..Odd!" I hear someone ask in disbelief. I didn't even need to look up to know who it was.
"Yumi?" When I did lift my eyes, I saw three people standing in front of me. My best friend, still to this day, Ulrich, and my long-lost friend Yumi, and Sissy.
I guess you're going to do it...
Sissy, with her long, shiny black hair now down to her lower back and her tight jeans stopping way below where her tiny short pink shirt ends. Other than her height, her looks haven't changed at all. Still wearing that fake smile, still wearing that strong perfume, still acting like her and Ulrich dated.
Still ugly as hell.. I thought, as I hugged Yumi. Then I stepped out of the hug, and looked at her. Tears were falling from her dark eyes, but I wasn't sure if they were happy or sad ones. Suddenly Ulrich walked over to her, handing her a tissue, as Sissy stood back in defeat.
Goodbye..
"Here." He said, as she took it without even sending a smile his way. Personally, if I was in Yumi's situation, I wouldn't want to be talking to me or Ulrich right now. I definitely wouldn't want to talk to Sissy-the-bitch, either.
"Well, I guess this isn't your perfect scenario, huh?" I asked, making her laugh a little. It's always my job to make things turn to the good side.
"No, it's not." She said, finally smiling at Ulrich and handing the semi-wet cloth back. I could see the other boy turn a little red, but it went unnoticed by everyone else. Maybe she'll finally decide to stay.. I thought. But in the end, how could I know? She hadn't even been here for 15 minutes yet.
I'm so sorry.
I guess you're going to do it...
Goodbye..

I know you had to
No matter what I say
I guess I always knew
But I didn't think you'd run away
Your left it behind
Your friends, your life
To go unwind
To be fate's wife
Now here you are
So unsure and scared
Even though it left a scar
You came back to those who cared
But I can see it in your eyes
That uncertain ease
Your scared of the lies
Your scared it's just to tease
Soo, there you go! ReViEw!
