Continued From Before...... (Chapter 8)

Yumi walked in the door of her classroom. She gave the teacher the late note and sat at her desk. Ulrick leaded towards her.

"Hey, why are you late? What happened?" he asked, but Yumi ignored him. He shrugged his shoulders and turned his attention to the boring science teacher. They were learning about how to mix chemicals in the right order so things don't blow up.

"Hey Ulrick, Uuulriiiick." OD whispered.

"What?" Ulrick whispered back.

"Uh, I don't know. I just felt like bugging you." OD smiled at Ulrick. Ulrick rolled his eyes, put his head on the desk, and waited for class to end.

OD and Ulrick waited for Jeremy to come out of his classroom. He walked out and over to them. "Hey, where's Yumi? I thought she was coming too." Jeremy asked when he noticed Yumi wasn't around.

"She's sitting over there. She hasn't talked to us all day." OD said, pointing to where Yumi was sitting on a bench.

"Didn't she say she was coming? Last night she said she'd be able to go, but I wonder what happened?" Jeremy thought aloud.

"Maybe her parents found out she sneaked out and got in trouble. Maybe she's grounded?" OD said, laughing.

"Come on OD, this isn't funny. Something's wrong with Yumi. We need to at least try to help her." Ulrick said. He looked over at her again. She had her head in one of her hands and was rubbing her arm with the other. 'I wonder why she's rubbing her arm.' Ulrick thought to himself. He shrugged his shoulders. "Well, let's go then if Yumi isn't coming." They walked off.

Yumi turned her head and looked at them walking away. 'They don't even care. Nobody ever does.' She then remembered Ulrick asking her what was wrong a lot of times. 'Well, he cares I guess, but he can't help me. Nobody can.' She put her head in her hands again. 'I wish dad would just kill me instead of just threatening. Maybe then everyone else will be happy.' She thought to her self.
To Be Continued... I know that this is a short chapter, but I couldn't really think of anything to write. (Hint, hint) I am asking for ideas if you didn't get that. Just some thoughts though. Thanks!
