Chapter Six: Too Late
The gang all got out of bed, used the bathrooms to get ready, and met at lunch. Ulrich and Yumi sat next to each other, Jeremy and Aelita sat across from them and Odd sat at the end of the table. They started eating their breakfast; it was a scrambled egg/bacon casserole.
"You would think the eggs would be yellow, why are they green?" Odd asked, sifting his fork through his breakfast. Aelita giggled and tried to swallow some.
"So what should we do today?" Jeremy asked.
"I have to go to the hospital, and check on my dad." Yumi said trying to eat her breakfast.
"Do you need me to come with you?" Ulrich asked.
"Yea I'll come too," Aelita said.
"No that's okay, I won't take that long." Yumi said smiling.
"Oh Ulrich dear!" Sissy's annoying voice rang out. Ulrich groaned as Odd laughed. Sissy stopped right next to Yumi's seat. "Up, out, now!" Sissy demanded pulling Yumi up by the wrist. Yumi slightly cringed in pain as Sissy pulled her up out of her chair. No one noticed she was in pain except for Odd and Ulrich since they knew about her wrist. Sissy sat down in Yumi's chair and wrapped her arms around Ulrich.
"Sissy what do you think you're doing?" Yumi asked rubbing her wrist behind her back.
"I am doing what Ulrich has always dreamed of having done to him." Sissy stated.
"Having Yumi go out on a date with him?" Odd asked. Ulrich kicked him under the table while Yumi let out a huff.
"No, quite the contrary." Sissy said, grabbing Ulrich's shirt collar and pulling his face towards her. "Something much better." Sissy stated breathing onto Ulrich's face.
"You need a mint." Ulrich stated. Everyone laughed at this, except Sissy.
"You wont think that once I am through with this," Sissy said. Suddenly though Yumi grabbed Sissy's hand roughly and squeezed it hard. It forced Sissy to let go of Ulrich. Sissy stood up and hit Yumi in the shoulder. Yumi had a bruise there and immediately reached for her shoulder. Sissy then pushed Yumi to the floor. Yumi fell with a painful thud. Sissy went to kick her, but Ulrich grabbed her foot.
"That's enough Sissy, go be a teacher's pet somewhere else." Ulrich stated. Sissy's jaw fell open in surprise. Odd then pushed Sissy off on her merry way. Ulrich helped Yumi to stand. She was still rubbing her shoulder.
"Are you alright Yumi?" Aelita asked.
"Yea, she just had a good hit." Yumi replied. She lied though Sissy's hit was puny, a baby could have taken it as a tickle.
"What about your wrist is that okay?" Odd asked. Yumi tensed up.
"Yea, why wouldn't be?" Yumi casually asked.
"Well you have that huge bruise on it." Odd replied. Yumi gently rubbed her wrist.
"Oh that, it's just a small one, nothing to worry about." Yumi replied smiling. She took her seat next to Ulrich.
"You're joking right, that bruise was huge." Odd stated.
"Let's see it," Jeremy said.
"It can't be that bad." Aelita stated. Yumi sighed, there was no way she could not show them. She gently lifted her shirt sleeve up so everyone could see.
"Oh my gosh, where did you get that?" Aelita asked.
"At home," Yumi stated. Ulrich gave her a surprised look that she would even tell.
"How?" Jeremy asked curiously.
"I smacked it on the kitchen table. I was walking by the corner and smacked it." Yumi lied. Ulrich took the look away and went back to his meal.
"You smacked it good then, I give you points for that one." Odd said. Yumi smiled and went back to her food. Ulrich reached over and gave Yumi's hand a gentle squeeze under the table. Yumi squeezed back then they let go. Suddenly, Yumi got a phone call. Yumi tensed up and reached for it. She looked at the caller ID number and saw it was her mother.
"You going to answer it?" Odd asked between forkfuls of food. Yumi nodded her head and answered it.
"Hello?" she asked. Yumi's mother started to scream at her and yell. Yumi had the volume down on her phone so no one could hear. Ulrich watched Yumi's facial expressions.
"Get your butt back here this instant!" Her mother screamed. "I want this house spotless, and if you think I am going to do it you are sadly mistaken little girl. Now tell your principal that you wont be at school today." Yumi's mother said and hung up. Yumi kept talking even though no one was on the other line, just to make it look good.
"Okay mom, no problem I can tell Principal Delarbia that for you. Sure it's easy no problem. Love you too bye." Yumi said and then hung up her phone. "I have to go to the principal's office, my mom had a question about one of my teachers." Yumi lied.
"Okay Yumi, we'll see you after the first class then." Jeremy stated. Yumi smiled and walked off.
"No, you won't." Yumi said under her breath. Yumi walked to the principal's office and explained to him she wouldn't be in school today because her mother needed her at home. The principal excused her and the bell rang. Yumi waited a moment before leaving the building to make sure her friends were in class. Then Yumi ran off towards home.
"I can't have Ulrich with me forever, I eventually have to go home myself. It's either now or never." Yumi said to herself as she neared her house. She saw her mother waiting outside with an angry look on her face.
"One day that's it, just one day." I breathed to myself.
