What the future will bring us
Chapter 2
"hurry up Odd" Aelita said dragging Odd behind her
"when did I say I would help" Odd asked not wanting to really leave his apartment
"two days ago when Yumi said that she needed extra help"
"oh yea know I remember" Odd said
"so come one" Aelita said pulling Odd's wrist and making him move faster
When they arrived at Yumi and Ulrich's apartment Yumi was glad to see them they all went down a list of things they need Odd went to by the drinks while Aelita and Yumi discussed some decorations for the party
Odd got back quickly and after about two hours everything was ready for the party on Saturday Odd finally sat down after being rushed about by Yumi and Aelita "ok so we have everything right" Yumi said
"yes, my god we have everything we need do not send me out for anything else" Odd said
"if you want you can go now Odd" Yumi said
"hey Odd if you want you can join me for a drink" Ulrich said
"ok then"
Odd and Ulrich headed outside and down too the collage bar it was only open after classes and closed at 7pm when they arrived it was 6:30 Ulrich ordered two drinks and sat with Odd
"Odd I want to ask your opinion on something" Ulrich said
"what"
"I'm thinking of asking Yumi to marry me" Ulrich said causing to Odd to spit some of his drink out in shock
"are you nuts were not even out of collage yet"
"I know but were already living together it's just the next step"
"you see it as a step I see it as a leap off a cliff"
"and another question what are you gonna do when you come out of collage"
"well Yumi could get a job so could I"
"right but there's two of you, you wouldn't be making enough money straight away unless you have a high paying job I mean it's easy to pay the rent for the apartment but I bet you would want a house"
"that's something I've been meaning to ask you Odd how have you been making money to pay for your rent I mean Yumi works as a waitress part time I get mine from working here Jeremy gets his money by fixing the computers of other people and Aelita gets quite a bit from her tutoring but I don't know about you"
"I'd rather not say" Odd said looking away from Ulrich
"ok then you don't have to tell me"
"hey whose idea was this party" Odd asked
"it was both mine and Yumi's idea we thought since it was nearing the end of the collage year for her we'd have a party to sort of celebrate"
"good idea" Odd said taking a large gulp from his drink
"I guess we should be heading back" Ulrich said
"you should I'm going back to mine and warn Yumi and Aelita if either of them come round asking for help they'll pay" Odd said
Both Odd and Ulrich left the bar and headed back to their own place when Odd reached his he just dropped back onto the couch turning the tv back on while Ulrich prepared him self as he went into his and Yumi's apartment and was bombarded by questions by Yumi and Aelita
The next day Yumi and Aelita were still busy making sure the party would easily be ready while Jeremy, Odd and Ulrich were at the bar Ulrich was working while talking to Jeremy and Odd
"it's not to busy today" Ulrich said looking at the almost empty bar
"hey Jeremy how much are you making with all those computers your fixing" Odd said he noticed that Jeremy wasn't paying attention and was looking at a girl sitting across from them "Jeremy" "Jeremy" "JEREMY" Odd shouted causing Jeremy to fall of the stool he was sitting on "WHAT" Jeremy shouted back
"I was asking you something but if making eyes at a girl even though you have a girlfriend is more important to you then go ahead"
"which girl" Ulrich asked Odd pointed to the girl "even if you didn't have a girlfriend she's out of your league anyway" Ulrich added
"how is she out of my league" Jeremy asked
"well lets see hottest girl in collage and you not even being on the hot list for most people that's how" Odd said
"is she coming to the party" Odd asked
"I think so but a lot of people are meant to be coming" Ulrich said
"well while your still in a relationship with Aelita you shouldn't be looking at other girls that way" Odd said
Odd's phone rang when he looked at who was calling he quickly stood up and walked out of the bar leaving both Ulrich and Jeremy quite confused "what was all that about" Jeremy asked
"maybe it's how he's been making money to pay his rent" Ulrich said
Out side Odd was on his phone "so have you finished with her then" "ok I'll be over in a few minutes" "you know I hate doing this" Odd finished and started walking
At Yumi's the girls had finished "thanks for all your help Aelita I couldn't do this without you"
"my pleasure I'll see you tomorrow" Aelita said as she left when Aelita was out side Yumi could hear her talking on her phone for the first time in twenty four hours Yumi just relaxed after an hour Yumi realised that Aelita had left her jacket she decided that if she took it back now when she got back Ulrich would be here
When she arrived at Aelita's she heard voices from inside she stopped thinking it might be Jeremy and Aelita but she heard Odd and Aelita's voices so she walked in to see the positively most hilarious sight
Odd was in a dress standing on a step with Aelita standing a few steps away she turned to look at Yumi so did Odd who's face went bright red when he realised Yumi's face took a second to get the right expression there were two choices confusion or complete laughter she chose complete laughter
Aelita quickly closed the door trying to stop Yumi from laughing her self to death Odd quickly took off the dress and sat on the couch still blushing from embarrassment "would you like to explain what's going on" Yumi said when she finally stopped laughing
"well I'm taking a fashion class and I asked Odd to help I'm also paying him to do this that's why he agreed to do it"
"so that explains where you've been getting the money to pay for everything" Yumi said
"please don't tell the others" Odd said
"don't worry if I told Ulrich he would never stop laughing and Jeremy would probably do the same" joining Odd on the couch
"how are you doing in that class any way" Yumi said "yea I should know if I'm doing this all the time" Odd added
"quite well actually with a lot of help from you Odd so thanks"
"oh Aelita I just remembered" Yumi said throwing Aelita her jacket "thanks I thought I left it there"
"well I'm going to go" Odd said standing up
"no way were not finished" Aelita said ordering Odd to sit back down
"well I better go Ulrich will be back by now" Yumi said leaving
As Yumi left she heard Odd basically shout the word freedom then heard Aelita tackle him stopping him from escaping she just laughed and kept walking she thought about everything one thought that had been bugging her came back it was what her and Ulrich were going to do after collage she knew that both of them would be wondering about this she hoped that Ulrich wouldn't freak out if she mentioned any thing like marriage
When she arrived she just smiled when she saw Ulrich sitting on the couch relaxing she joined him on it and moved next to him Ulrich put his arm around her and pulled her closer Yumi rested her head on his shoulder after a few hours they fell asleep Yumi felt extremely comfortable she would put off talking to Ulrich about stepping up their relationship
The next day it would be the party Yumi was sure that everyone would have a good time the thought about Odd in that dress crept back into her mind she laughed but only in her head so she didn't wake Ulrich
That's it for this chapter so the next chapter will be all about the party everything that happened and lead up to the events in what the past taught us
