Message of the Rose Chapter 2: Message of the White Rose, a code lyoko fanfic

Thoughts- 'Okay…'

Lyrics- Ridin' restless under broken sky

Bold- meaning of this rose

I wake up again this morning. I yawn and throw on my school clothes, 2 more days till Valentine's Day. I let out a groan and walked out the door. I headed to the cafeteria and yawned once again.

"Looks like someone didn't get a good night's sleep." Aelita pointed out.

"Well I did stay up a little bit later than I wanted too. You know why though Aelita."

"Yeah, but which one?"

"The new one."

"One that might hurt the most." Aelita shook her head.

"Do you guys know what their talking about?" Odd asked.

"Nope." Ulrich and Jeremie replied in unison.

"That's good that you guys don't know." I said, feeling more and more tired by the minute. "I got to get to class. Bye guys."

I walked away and to my locker. I yawned while putting in my combination and lifting the handle. A white rose fell out and I had another smile on my face. I laughed a bit and picked it up. The scent was strong and woke me up. This time instead of finding a letter I found some lyrics.

Ridin' restless under broken sky,
Weary traveller, somethin' missin' inside,
Always lookin' for a reason to turn around.
Desperate for a little peace of mind.
Just a little piece of what I left behind:
Well, I found it now: you're like coming home.

You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes;
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky.
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road.
You're like coming home;
You're like coming home, all right.

Go head an' let your hair fall down.
This wanderlust: it's gone now.
I'm here in your arms; I'm safe from the world again.
These are the days that can't be erased:
Baby, there isn't a better place;
You're like heaven: you're like coming home.

You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes;
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky.
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road.
You're like coming home;

You're that innocence, that serenity,
That long-lost part of me.

You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes;
A midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky.
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road.

Innocence and purity is what you are and the flower.

-Secret Admirer

I shut my locker once again and got that little 'heart lifting, heart soaring' kind of deal. I put that one in my hair and walked back to class. Even in class people looked at me and smiled. I don't what their problems are but its starts to creep me out. The bell finally rang and I dashed to the cafeteria so I wouldn't get even more stares. I sat down inbetween Jeremie and Aelita.

"Yumi, what's the matter, now?" Aelita asked.

"I'm getting these funny looks and it's starting to not go well."

"It might have something to do with that rose in your hair." Jeremie pointed out.

"Rose?" I touched my hair and remember that I had it in my hair. "Oh."

I took it out and laid it beside me. I stared at it for a while and Ulrich and Odd come over.

"Hey, guys." I said, still lost in dream world.

"Yumi, are you alright? You haven't been yourself lately." Ulrich questioned.

"Huh?" I said, finally zoning out of it.

"I said are you alright?"

"Sure, for the most part. I think I'll go clear my head."

I stood up and walked out the door with rose in hand. I twirled it around and thought of the meaning of the last rose with this rose. I pulled out today's note and yesterdays. I looked back and forth to recognize the handwriting but it was typed. I walked into the forest and sat down at a bottom of a tree. I kept twirling it around and thinking of the colors.

'Okay, the first one was falling in love at first sight and friendship. So that means it could either be William or Ulrich. Or I think it could be Ulrich. This is so confusing. No wonder I hate this holiday.'

I walked back up to the school and into my math class. I took a seat by the window. I looked out of it and saw Ulrich around in his classroom. I could've sworn we made eye contact but we didn't. The bell rang for the last time for today and the principal announced that there was a dance tomorrow. I groaned involuntarily and trudged out the door. I met up with the guys at the bench and sat down with another groan.

"What's the matter now?" Odd asked.

"You tell me. I hate this holiday."

"Yumi, it's not even Valentine's Day yet. How could you say such a thing?"

"Because it's the same thing every Valentine's Day and I really don't care for it."

"Yumi, how could you say such a thing?" Aelita exclaimed. "You know it's different this year and you might get to see the new at the dance."

"What good would that do when it could be anybody at this school?"

"That it could be number 1."

"Well, it could be number 2 or Theo… or anybody else that I can't think of right at the top of my head."

"I hate to interrupt your fascinating conversation, but its almost light's out." Ulrich said.

"Whatever." I shrugged and got up.

I walked back with Aelita to our dorm and she entered first. I shut the door behind her and said,

"I'm sorry, Aelita. You know how tense I get when it gets this time of year."

"I forgive you, but seriously. You should've seen the look on Ulrich's face when you said that."

"What?"

"It looked like you hurt his feelings when you said that."

"Then I need to go apologize to him."

I reached for the hand but Aelita said no. He needs to get something done and she was sure that I didn't want to intrude.

"Fine then I'm going to bed."

I jumped onto my bed and tossed and turned half the night. I finally went into easy sleep but was filled with Ulrich's disappointed face and William's gleeful face.
