ATTENTION! Hey everybody! So sorry I didn't get the chapter up yesterday! I typed it up and was going to put it up, but something was wrong with the document downloads, so I couldn't update! Sorry once again. Like I said, this chapter was meant for the 20th of February, so the author's notes are not up-to-date. Thanks for your understanding! tinkerbellbt
AN: I have to say, I'm a little disappointed in you guys. Throughout the whole weekend, I only got 3 reviews! That's pitiful! Anyways, I can't believe that CN took up Code Lyoko's time with that new show, My Gym Partner's a Monkey ! Mondays always bring bad things, except (hopefully. Lol:) this new chapter. So here it is, chapter 13!
Chapter 13: Revealed…
Ulrich left his room and headed for English. He saw someone running down the hallway in front of him. He noticed who it was, and immediately caught up to his friend.
"Hey Jacques! Sorry I left you at breakfast. I had to … pick up some books." Ulrich said, remembering that's what he had told Jacques earlier and would look bad if he said something different now.
"It's okay Ulrich. I know you were on your cell phone. But nobody cares, I do it all the time." Jacques stated. "Oh, well, yea. I remembered that my friends wanted me to call them, and if I called them when I got out of school, they'd probably be asleep." Ulrich pointed out.
"Yea, that's the hard thing about keeping in touch with your friends." Jacques said as they rounded a corner. "Hey, can I ask you something?" Ulrich attempted. "Yea, sure." Jacques agreed.
"Well, Miyu was your girlfriend, wasn't she?" "Umm… yea, why do you ask?" Jacques questioned. "Well, you probably know a lot about her then, right?" Ulrich said, hoping to find some answers.
"Well, I should, she was my girlfriend for almost two years!" Jacques shouted, but not at anyone in particular. "So, has she lived here all her life?" Ulrich asked.
"No, she moved here two years ago from Japan. Usually I don't like people like her. She's not really my type." Jacques admitted. "So, why'd you go out with her?" Ulrich threw the question at Jacques, wanting answers.
"Because before she came here, she had a lot of problems. Her parents both died, and that automatically made her an orphan. A couple years after living in that crummy orphanage, she got really lucky! She was finally adopted. And not just by any one, Alina Ulmer! Alina really wanted a child, but since she's a big movie star, she couldn't become pregnant. That would just ruin her whole career. She also wanted a foreign child, which is where Miyu came in. After Miyu was adopted, she and Alina moved here and started a life in Washington. Of course since Alina Ulmer is one of the most popular celebrities out there, Miyu got a huge mansion, and a nice school to go to. But she wasn't all that happy, I mean how would you feel if your parents died and then you just get picked up by some person and have to move to a different country? Plus, Alina was ALWAYS on tour, so that's why she was placed in a boarding school. She was automatically the "popular" one and therefore, me and her were sort of … expected to go out. And she was really nice and not to mention pretty. So I asked her out. At first she said no, but after awhile of me flirting with her, she gave in. Ever since today, we've been together." Jacques ended his speech and sighed.
Ulrich stood there, dumbfounded. Miyu sure had been through a lot. And although Ulrich was getting good answers, he'd have to ask Miyu herself some questions. But now that he knew a little of her back round, he could know which questions to ask her, and which to definitely avoid.
"So, why did you break up with her?" Ulrich wondered out loud. "Well, she was starting to li…" Jacques paused there and thought for a minute.
"How come you keep asking me questions? And why do you want to know so much about Miyu? If you really want answers, why don't you ask her your self? I don't mean to sound rude Ulrich, it's just a little personal. And not to mention weird. Do you have a thing for her?" That was Jacques's last question, and unfortunately for him, he wouldn't be getting any answers.
The tardy bell rang, and both the boys waved at each other as each darted off to their class rooms just as the tardy bell stopped ringing.
"Ulrich Stern, why are you so late?" Mrs. Bartley asked. "Well, ma'am, I forgot something in my dorm, and had to run back to get it." Ulrich made up.
Mrs. Bartley bought it, and didn't count him tardy, since technically he wasn't. Ulrich took his seat next to Zaq, and groaned. He wished he were sitting with Miyu.
Ulrich heard Zaq taking something out of his book bag, and he turned his head to see what it was. Automatically Ulrich new what Miyu meant by him being perverted. He had a porn magazine in his lap and was looking at the pictures of naked women.
Ulrich turned his head immediately and tried to wash his brain out. He was sure he was scarred for life now.
Mrs. Bartley told them to take out their literature books, and the whole class did as they were told, except for Zaq. He was too busy looking at profanity.
The teacher noticed that Zaq was reading something, but not his literature book, so she walked over to Ulrich and Zaq's desk, and surprised Zaq by taking the adult magazine away.
Once Mrs. Bartley realized what it was, her face turned from unamused, to disgusted. She looked at Zaq who was trying to hide his face as the rest of the class saw what the cause of the disruption was.
Zaq was told to go to the principal's office immediately. So he did, unwillingly.
After that issue, the class settled down and the lesson on Shakespeare began again. Mrs. Bartley loved to do group work in her classes, so she told the class of their assignment and told them to work with their partners as she went to deal with another issue. Which they all assumed was Zaq.
Most of the class was paired up when Mrs. Bartley left the room, but since Ulrich's partner was gone, and thank heavens he was, he had to find someone who didn't have a partner, and to his surprise, Miyu was a candidate.
Ulrich took this opportunity to talk with Miyu. He got up form his desk and walked over to hers where she was looking around hopelessly. Normally tons of people would be begging to be her partner, but word had spread that she was no longer going out with the most popular guy in school, and now she was UNpopular.
"Hey, do you want to be my partner?" Ulrich asked hoping with all his heart that she would say yes. Miyu looked up to see someone she so desperately wanted to see. She smiled instantly. "Sure, Ulrich." She agreed.
"Ulrich sat down next to her, loving every moment. She brought back so many memories, some bad, but mostly wonderful.
"So, what was up with you and Jacques earlier?" Ulrich started. "You mean you haven't heard that we broke up?" Miyu asked, very surprised. "Well, I'm not really on the top of the gossip chain," Ulrich said, not really wanting to lie to this beautiful face.
Miyu laughed. "Yea, well, that's understandable. I don't know what happened. I guess he just thought we needed a break. To tell you the truth, I think we do too. Besides, I'm starting to like someone else." Miyu said.
Ulrich's heart leapt and wondered who it was this time. "Ah. Well, I did hear that you're Alina Ulmer's daughter! That's pretty cool." Ulrich tired to get into a comfortable conversation to ask her some questions he thought only Yumi would know, but he didn't want to sound weird to Miyu.
"You heard right. But it's not that big of a deal. I don't even see her that much. I practically have the whole mansion to myself on the weekends." Miyu said with a sigh.
"Where is she all the time?" Ulrich asked. "On tours. Last week she went to Rome." Miyu sighed yet again. Thinking about all the fun she was missing out on. Then again, she would have never seen Ulrich.
"Have you ever gone to any of the tours with her?" Ulrich asked, getting more and more into the subject he wanted. "Well sure, when it's summer time. I used to have so much fun."
"You said you've been to France. Was that one of the places Alina's toured?" Ulrich questioned. "Yea, France is so great! I stayed there for quite a while. In fact, we almost moved there once. I wish we had, I met some great friends. I miss them a whole lot." Miyu was starting to understand what all these questions were about, and what the phone call was about.
She didn't know if she wanted to give away her secret though. She knew Ulrich was responsible, but the knowledge could cause too many problems. She decided to give him one more clue. Then let him figure out this big mystery.
"Who were your friends?" Ulrich asked thinking, Yes! I have accomplished my goal of asking a question only Yumi would know the answer to. Let's see what Miyu's answer is.
"If you're trying to see if you know who they are, you probably don't. France is huge, and there's a 1 chance of you knowing who they are." Miyu said cautiously.
Ulrich sat there, looking very disappointed. He really hoped Miyu would just tell him who her friend's were. So he could see if she was Yumi, or Miyu.
Miyu re-thought her plan to let him figure it all out on his own. He looked so sad after she wouldn't tell him a thing he wanted. And she knew exactly what he wanted to know. He had caught onto her… but was she the person he thought she was?
She decided to be nice and help him out on his investigation. "Well, I'll give you a hint…"
AN: Next chapter everyone! Will you find out who Miyu really is? She may not be who you're expecting! Anyways, I thought I'd let everyone know, I need 100 reviews by the 15th chapter, or I might just "happen to have things get in the way so I can't update". If you get what I'm saying. Hope I'm not too demanding. Thanks to Mi ChIbO for the awesome name Alina! And I'm sort of mixing Aelita-Kresta's idea about Jacques, and teensamurai102's idea together. So thanks to all three of them, and everybody else who reviewed! Remember, you only have two more chapters to get 100 REVIEWS! tinkerbellbt
Question of the Day:
Remember Vanessa? Should I add her in another chapter?
