Well, this will surely be a surprise for most people. I bet you all though I gave up huh? (To tell the truth, I almost did). But something compelled me to do so. I could have been that I have still gotten a few reviews saying "update soon!" or that I just need to get back into writing, and the best way, would be to go with something Im already working on. Now I don't get a whole lot of time to write, so after this update, don't expect anything for a long time (not as long as it just was though...heh). One more thing I would like to ask from you guys, please tell me if you find any inconsistencies, or just anything you don't see fit. Its been so long, and Im not 100 percentfamiliar with what happened (though I did go back and check up on a few things).

Chapter 7: What luck

.:Normal POV:.

Jeremy had just been lying in bed for most of the morning, but he couldn't keep ignoring the constant rumbles from his stomach. He eventually gave into its yearn to obtain food. And although he didn't want to leave his room, he knew it was unhealthy to skip meals.

It wasn't Yumi that he was afraid of running into, it was Ulrich. He knew that Ulrich was clearly upset from the way he left the room yesterday, and facing him now after having little time to cool off, despite being his friend, would not be anywhere near a good idea. Knowing Ulrich, he would put aside rational thought, and speak with his emotions. Which, could lead to bruises and possibly a broken bone or two.

But it wasn't his fault. She was the one to kiss him, but that didn't matter to Ulrich. Jeremy would just have to go through the day trying to avoid his angered friend as much as possible.

"Jeez, its that time already!" exclaimed Jeremy as he looked at his watch.

He knew now that he missed breakfast, and he was soon to miss lunch as well. He decided to take that chance to go to the factory in order to see someone he knew he should have talked to earlier.

Odd and Yumi were already at the park, though they didnt really know why. It was a nice day to just go outside and forget about your troubles for a while.

They decided to take a seat at the usual bench for a while, feeling a bit exhausted from recent events still.

"Yumi, what do you suppose is going to happen to us?" Odd asked randomly.

"What do you mean Odd?" She replied in a modest tone.

"You know, us, as a group. Do you think this will be the end of our friendship?"

Yumi thought this over for a while. Just the thought of not being able to see or hear from Ulrich, or even Jeremy, caused her to form tears in her eyes. She quickly wiped them away, knowing that Odd was looking at her.

"No Odd, I don't. Im sure everything is going to work out fine...I hope."

"I guess its really Ulrich's move, after all, he's the one taking this to heart more than any of us." Odd pointed out.

Yumi thought differently though. It wasnt Ulrich's choice if they stay friends or not, it was Ulrich's choice to see whether or not he would forgive her.

After a few minutes of silence, Odd decided to sway the topic of the conversation to a happier note.

"So Yumi...Hear the new subsonics album?" He grinned.

By this time, Jeremy had made his way out side of the school building. He almost didn't want to go through with this. Anxiety was creeping all over him, so much that it made him pale. He had no idea what she would say to him when he got there.

"I know this is the right thing to do," He kept reminding himself. "But it doesn't make it any easier."

He kept walking until he noticed a familiar spiky blonde haired person.

"Odd? And is that Yumi?" He turned to go towards them. "What are they doing here?"

Yumi looked up to see that Jeremy was coming their way. She knew this would be a chance to start straightening things out.

"Hi Jeremy I – " Yumi started to say.

"Where's Ulrich?"

"He uhhh– " Odd interrupted. "Sir sulks a lot is still in his room, probably burying his head under god knows how many pillows."

"Ummm...oook." He gave Odd a strange look. "What are you guys doing?"

"We just came out to get some air and..." Yumi was cut off by someone walking towards them from the distance...It was Ulrich.

As he approached, Yumi started to grow pale. She was afraid that he would be angry with her for the recent event.

"Yumi, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone."

Bah, I know you guys don't like cliff hangers, especially for those who are still waiting for the update. Anyhow, I just wanted to get it done, and I hope to eventually get started on the next one. Though like I said, I have much less computer time, so it will be slow (not this slow though). And remember, if you see any errors, don't be afraid to tell me (I go too fast for my own good sometimes).
