Thoughts- ''

Lyrics singing

I woke up with the sun beating down on us. It was Friday, but it was a special Friday. It was Valentine's Day. I pulled the covers over my head and groaned.

"Come on Yumi. It's not going to be that bad." Aelita said.

"Why don't just go meet Jeremie while I'll stay here and be late for class."

"Come on Yumi. We'll just get to class. We won't meet the boys today."

"Whatever."

I threw the covers off of me and threw on my regular outfit and put a little of my hair up. I went out into the hallway and walked to my locker with Aelita.

"I don't see what the problem is."

"Aelita we went over this like two days ago. I just hate this holiday. Does it look like I want to be love sick on this day and have a box of chocolates on one day? Then, have my heart step on the next day? I don't think so."

I opened my locker and another rose fell out. This time the holy symbol, a red rose. I picked that up in one sweep and the letter out of my locker. This time it said,

Single- "I love you"

Color- beauty, love, courage, and respect

Meet you on the dance floor tonight then you know who I am.

Love,

Your Secret Admirer

"Love sick, huh?" Aelita joked.

"Shut up." I said jokingly back, shutting my locker.

"Who's love sick?" Odd asked, coming toward us with Ulrich and Jeremie.

"Happy Valentine's Day, you guys and nobody love sick… right Yumi?"

"Yeah, and Happy Valentine's Day to you guys too."

"Wait, I thought you hated this holiday." Odd prided.

"Well some people can change their minds." I said, holding the note and the rose behind me. "Well, I got to get to class. See ya."

I walked away from the group, quickly putting those things in front of me so Ulrich wouldn't notice. I walked to class in a prideful stride while trying to put the rose in my hair. I finally got it in and sat down in my chair. I sat and actually paid attention so I wouldn't have to get detention and not go to the dance. I got those weird looks at me but ignored them. It was finally the end of the school day and I zoomed into my room. I frantically looked for my black kimono that looked somewhat of my Lyoko outfit without the sash, the kimono was a bit longer, and I was wearing flat black shoes that looked like a ballerina's. Aelita came in while I was putting my hair into a bun and finding my chopsticks.

"Aelita, have you seen my chopsticks. You know the ones that are black."

"Yeah. They're right here."

"Thanks."

I put those in my hair then put the three roses around my bun and examined it in the mirror. Then I put a little bit of mascara on then looked at Aelita.

"How do I look?"

"You look magnificent. What about me?"

She turned. She was wearing a light pink dress with pink fingerless gloves that went up to her elbows. Her shoes match her dress. Her hair was placed lightly on her shoulders.

"Jeremie would go nuts when he sees you."

"Really?"

"Really. Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah. It's down in the gym."

So we walked down there and was talking and laughing. We come across Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremie before we entered the gym and I and Aelita laughed our heads off. Ulrich and Jeremie had their jaws wide open and eyes popping out.

"Take a picture. It last longer." We both said and just die laughing.

"Well, you look beautiful tonight Aelita." Jeremie said.

"Why thank you." She said while we both settle down.

"Well lets go." I said.

Odd led, then Jeremie and Aelita, while me and Ulrich hanged back.

"Yumi, where did you get those roses? I remember seeing that yellow rose but not those others."

"Somebody that I'll meet tonight gave them to me. Why?"

"What if I told you that the person you're looking for is right here?"

"Then I'd have to ask you what the meaning of the roses I have in my hair from the first one to the latest one I got."

"And then?"

"I'd had to ask you what was on the e-mail I got… even if it was an e-mail."

I turned andwalkedthe rest of the way. All through the dance, my eyes were trained to the floor. At the beginning, I was looking all around the dance floor for him but decided to give up.

"Come on Yumi. You've been sitting here all night." Odd's voice rang over the music.

"I want to wait here all night until he finds me, but I'm going out."

I walked out of the gym and out to the bench we're always on. The crisp air was going through my body and the breeze playing with my hair.

'Ok. So it's Ulrich, William, or Theo. Rule out William because he wouldn't had asked me about the rose… this is so confusing.'

I put my face down into my hand and then heard a voice singing something familiar.

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

I lift my head up and see Ulrich walking towards 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.

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." I song whispered.

"Well, it's nice of you to join in."

"So your it?" I asked with a bit of hope in my voice.

"Let me ask you a question then to answer with this. Do you love me?"

I thought about it for a while and an idea popped into my head.

"No I don't love you…" His face dropped and I stopped for dramatic effect. "More like smitten with you."

I ran up to him and gave him a big hug.

"Yumi, now don't kill me!" Ulrich said laughing.

"I won't try."

Ulrich was a little taller than me now and I didn't notice till now. I looked up to him and her eyes were glowing with appreciation and love. I felt my heart stop as he got closer. I stood on my tiptoes and our lips touched. My head went off like it was the Fourth of July in America. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world. When we finally stopped to get some air, we had a little smile on their faces.

"So who's going to tell the gang?" Ulrich asked.

"You don't have too."

The gang came out of their hiding place and was smiling wide too. We all knew that in the morning the rumors were finally true. Yumi Ishiyama and Ulrich Stern were finally together.

The end of this story. I had a fun time typing it but I have another one raring to go and get posted on here. Happy Valentine's Day! Thanks to my last reviews:
