Ulrich's Secret
Chapter14
Yumi stared at the note.
Jeremy then broke the silence.
"Are you gonna give it to him?" he asked.
"Yeah."
A nurse then walked towards them.
"Ulrich is doing fine, and as long as he stays in bed, he should be able to go home in a week or two."
The nurse then walked away.
"Oh,man. Ulrich's gonna freak when he hears how long he has to stay here." said Jeremy.
"I'll tell him."
Both Yumi and Jeremy walked down the hall to Ulrich's room. When they got there, they pushed the door open to see Ulrich out of bed and walking around.
"Ulrich! What are you doing? You need to stay in bed!" shouted Yumi.
"C'mon Yumi. You know better than anyone else, that I can't sit still, or lay in bed and do nothing."
" well you get back in bed right now!"
"Ok. 'mom'"
Yumi walked over to him and helped him get back into bed.
"Hey Ulrich." said Jeremy stepping forward.
"Hey Einstien. How's Aelita?"
"She's fine. Thanks to you."
Ulrich smirked at the thought that he was a hero. Yumi, seeing this smacked Jeremy upside the head.
"Quit giving him ideas, Jeremy!"
"Ow. That hurt."
Ulrich then spoke up.
"How's our trouble maker doing?"
"Odd's doing fine. He gets out in a couple of days."
"A couple of days! I have to stayin here for over a week! How come he get's it off so easily? When I get out of here i'm gonna kill him!"
"IF you put one foot out of bed, I'll kill you!"
"Fine. You're no fun at all."
"Well I gotta go call my parents real quick." said Yumi leaving the room.
As soon as she left, Ulrich dug out his cell phone and called Odd.
"Hey Odd. How you doing?"
"Meh" was the response from the other end.
"Yeah me too. I wanted to talk to you about Yumi."
"Ohh, gosip." said Odd really cheerfully.
"Everyone keeps saying that she's the perfect one to ask out. Do you think that?"
"Dude. She totally digs you! She's tons of fun, and you're no fun at all. She completes you."
"OH, gotta Yumi's back."
Ulrich stashed his phone right as Yumi entered.
"Who were you talking to?" she asked.
"No one. WHy do you say I was talking to somone?" asked Ulrich.
"Well, for one, I heard you talking to someone, and two you have your cell phone sticking out from under your pillow."
Ulrich looked down, and sure enough, his cell was sticking half way out from its hiding spot.
"Damn." Muttered Ulrich under his breath.
"Yumi reached down and pulled the phone out from under the pillow.
"Now lets just see who 'no body' really is." she said as she pulled up the called list, "I see Odd's feeling better."
"Why do you say that?" asked Ulrich, trying not to smile.
"Well, in the past 20 min, you've called him, ... 7 times."
"Damn. Note to self, remember to clear list of phone calls when done." he muttered.
"I heard that."
"Ok c'mon you two. Yumi lets go see Odd," said Jeremy
"Jeremy. Stop picking sides." Shouted Ulrich.
"Yeah Jeremy."
Jeremy looked around and saw Ulrich and Yumi grinning at him.
"Why y'all oinking on me?" he said trying to sound like he was crying.
"Jeremy. You know crying doesn't work on us."
"Oh. Right. Forgot." and he stopped crying." Well, lets go see Odd."
