Continued From Before...... (Chapter 7)

Yumi walked in the front door and dropped her bag on the floor, went into the cupboard and pulled out a bag of goldfish. 'Mmm, I love goldfish.' She said popping some in her mouth.

Her dad walked in. "What are you so happy about? Go clean your room, it's a mess." He stormed pass her and out the door. Yumi watched as he got in his truck and drove off.

Yumi listened to see if her mom was home and heard her crying in her room. She walked in and sat next to her on the bed. She put her arms around her in a hug.

"Mom, are you Ok. What has he done now." She asked leaning her head on her mom's shoulder.

"He didn't do anything; he just is in a bad mode. I'm surprised he didn't hit me." She said grabbing a tissue to wipe at her eyes.

"What happened? What has gotten him mad?" Yumi asked.

"He has been fired from work." She turned and looked at Yumi, more tears spilled down her cheeks, "Please be careful, he will come after you next. I don't know for sure, but if he is in a very bad mode, I don't know how hard he will hit us." She said hugging her daughter.

"Ok mom, I'll be careful as always. I'm going to go clean my room like he asked right now." She gave her mom one last hug and went to her room. She looked around, but didn't see anything that messy, except for a few things in the bathroom from her shower the last night. She made sure the clothes were dry before putting them in the hamper. She then got out her homework and flopped on the bed. The phone rang, 'Gosh, people have a bad timing on calling me.' Yumi thought as she answered it.

"Hey Yumi, its OD, How's it going?" he asked.

"Hey OD, fine, just starting homework. What about you? Don't you have homework too?" she said knowing that he wasn't doing it.

"Oh, I got bored of studying for that test, so I just stopped. Hahahaha." He laughed into the phone. Yumi shook her head. "Ulrick's still studying though. I don't see why he tries, he's still going to fail." He said in a hushed tone.

"I heard that OD." Yumi could hear Ulrick yell at OD. "Hey Yumi, got a question. We were thinking of going out tonight, want to come with us, me, Ulrick, and Jeremy that is?" OD asked.

"No, I can't tonight. My dad's in a bad mode. If he knew that I had snuck out, he would kill me!" Yumi said. 'Actually, he would.' She thought to herself.

"Awe, come on Yumi, Ulrick really wants you to come see him." He said in a mocking tone. There was yelling and the noise of the phone hitting things, and then Ulrick was on the phone. "Hey Yumi." He said cheerfully.

Yumi laughed, "What did you do to Od?" she asked.

"Oh, I just lightly hit him and he's making it a big deal." He said. Yumi could tell he was lying. In the background OD yelled, "Lightly hit me dream on! You threw Kiwi's dog bowl at my head. If I lose enough blood I could die you know." He said.

"He's bleeding?! How hard did you hit him?" Yumi yelled into the phone. "He's not bleeding. He's faking it." Ulrick said laughing at Yumi's concern.

"Gosh, tell him not to scare me like that!" Yumi said opening her math book. "Ugh, I hate math. Our teacher is so mean. I want to kill her with a Spork. Sissi agrees, which is kind of scary." Yumi said.

"Oh, you're working on the math. I really didn't want to do it, but my dad would get so mad if I didn't do it. So, I had to. I hated it though." Ulrick said putting his books on the desk he shared with OD. "I wonder what Jeremy's up to." He asked Yumi.

"He's probably either talking to Aelita or he has gone to sleep to dream about her." She said, making Ulrick laugh.

"Come on Yumi, lets all go somewhere. I'm bored!" OD was back on the phone, whining and complaining.

"Ugh, Ok fine, we'll go somewhere. Just keep it down when you get here. If my dad finds out about me sneaking out, he'll so mad, I don't know what he'll do." Yumi said. Ulrick, Jeremy and OD arrived a few minutes later.

"Yumi, hurry up. We have something planned, and you need to bring some money, Ok." OD whispered loudly to Yumi's window.

"Will you shut up Od? Do you want us to get caught?" Yumi opened her window and stepped out. She walked along the roof until she came to the end. She slid down the gutter and landed on the grass. "Well, that was fun. Come on, let's go." They walked down the street, ducking behind bushes, trees and cars along the way. "What are we even going to do?" Yumi asked, hiding behind a bush as a car passed by.

"Oh, we didn't tell you, huh. We're going to the movies!" Jeremy told Yumi. He and OD slapped each other a high five.

"Will you two be quiet? We're not there yet, so keep your voice down." Ulrick hissed at them, which made Yumi chuckled. They finally arrived at the movies. They paid for the tickets and walked inside. After they had waited for OD to buy the whole concession stand, they went into the theater. It took them awhile to decide where everyone was going to sit, but they finally thought, in the four seats it would be Yumi, Ulrick, OD then Jeremy. They talked for awhile before the movie started. Soon the lights dimmed and the film started. They had chosen an adventure/action movie.

"Yah, go, go!" OD yelled.

"Shhh!" was the answer that he got from everyone.

"I just like the movie; they don't have to get all mad at me." He pouted. The others just shook their heads and turned back to the film. Ulrick glanced at Yumi beside him. She was looking at him too; they blushed and turned to the movie. But Ulrick couldn't help himself; he looked at her again until she noticed. Then he turned away yet again. Yumi laughed at him.

She continued to watch the movie, but also an eye on Ulrick. When he looked at her again, she waited until he was staring before saying, "Why do you keep looking at me?" she turned her head towards him and awaited his answer.

"Oh, um, I just, well, I." he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. Yumi snickered at his flushed face. "I would still like an answer Ulrick." She said to him. Ulrick thought for a moment of what he was going to say to her. Yumi waited patiently. Finally, he decided on what to do. He leaned towards her slowly. At first Yumi leaned back, but then forward. Ulrick put his hand to her neck and brought her mouth to his. She embraced him as they kissed.

OD turned to Ulrick to see if he liked the movie, but instead of seeing Ulrick watching the movie, he saw Ulrick and Yumi kissing. He tapped on Jeremy's shoulder, and when he looked at OD, OD pointed to Ulrick and Yumi. Jeremy smiled and put his hand over his mouth to keep himself from laughing aloud. They couldn't help themselves though, they burst out laughing. That made the people in the theater all yell, "Shh!" It also made Ulrick and Yumi break their kiss to see what the commotion was.

"Hey, Od, What's going on? Why is everyone yelling at you?" Ulrick whispered to the laughing person beside him. OD was laughing so hard he couldn't even talk, so Jeremy leaned forward, "We were yelled at because we were laughing, as OD won't stop doing." He whispered.

"Well, why were you laughing, the movies not that funny Od." Ulrick said. OD had gotten his breath back, so he can speak.

"We were laughing at you. Well, you and Yumi that is. We saw you kissing." OD sneered, trying not to have another laughing fit. Ulrick's face turned red. That made OD laugh even more. The person watching the theater came up to them and spoke to OD.

"Excuse me, will you keep it down? There are other people trying to watch the movie. If you guys want to talk, do it in the lobby, Ok." He whispered to them. They nodded there heads and turned back to the movie. The guy seemed satisfied, because he walked off to the other side of the theater.

After the movie ended and they were walking back home, OD was making fun of Yumi and Ulrick. "You guys were all over each other. Ohh, what are you going to do now, huh? You gonna get married, have some kids?" he laughed.

"I just kissed her. It's not that big of a deal, I can kiss her if I want." Ulrick yelled at OD, then looked at Yumi, "Well, only if she lets me." He added. Yumi blushed and avoided Ulrick's glance.

"Oh really, well then, if you can kiss her whenever you want, then kiss her right now. I bet you won't." OD grinned.

"I said that I could kiss when I want IF she lets me." Ulrick said. "Well, then ask her if you can kiss her." OD replied. "Why do you want me to kiss her so bad?" Ulrick shot back.

"If you guys like each other so much, you should kiss each other." OD yelled. Jeremy and Yumi just stood aside and let them fight.

"Why are they fighting over something stupid like Ulrick kissing me?" Yumi asked Jeremy.

"I know a lot of things, but I don't know what has gotten into them." Jeremy said, smiling at Yumi. "It was pretty funny though, just not as funny as OD making it seem." He added.

"FINE THEN!" Yumi heard Ulrick yell. She turned around towards them to see what happened, and found herself in Ulrick's arms.

"Can I kiss you to make OD shut up?" he asked her. Yumi glanced over at OD, who was enjoying every minute of this. She slowly nodded and Ulrick kissed her. It wasn't just a little kiss either, he held Yumi against his lips for awhile before letting her go. 'Wow!' she thought, 'That was great. How come he's never kissed me before?' she wondered.

"Hey OD, why did you want to see Ulrick kiss me so bad? Is it that funny?" she asked OD, who was laughing again.

"Well, I guess it wasn't that funny." He said. "Let's go home now before my parents realize I'm not in my room." He said, walking off. The others nodded and went home. Ulrick walked with Yumi to her house.

"Sorry about just now. OD just wouldn't shut up. I don't see why it's so funny?" he asked. "Why does he have to...?" Ulrick was cut off when Yumi pressed her lips onto his. 'Whoa! Is Yumi really kissing me? I'd thought she'd never do something like this first.' Ulrick said in his mind. He put his arms around her and locked her in a hug. Yumi suddenly broke the kiss and pushed Ulrick away.

"I'm sorry, I need to go." she said, tuning around and climbing up the side of the house to her bedroom window. She crept into the room, trying not to make any noise.

Suddenly her light came on and her dad was sitting in the chair by her desk. "So, where have you been?" he asked, getting up and walking towards Yumi.
To Be Continued In the next chapter, I don't know what happens yet, so just sit back and wait for a bit and I'll have it posted soon. (Hopefully.)
