Chapter 3
Suspicion
After they had finished kissing, Aelita had left Ulrich and walked back to the gang. She was going to say that Ulrich hadn't let her in, and that she had spent all that time knocking on his door. When she got there, she discovered a different problem. Jeremie.
"Back so soon?" Jeremie asked, leaning to kiss Aelita on the cheek.
"Uh, yeah," Aelita mumbled, stepping back. Jeremie lost his balance and fell.
"He wouldn't see me," Aelita helped him up.
"It figures," Odd said. "Ulrich only thinks about himself when he is mad. Just give him an hour; he'll come rushing toward Yumi."
"I, I'm not so sure about that," Aelita said, wanting to kill any hope Yumi had.
"Why is that?" A tear stained Yumi questioned, eyebrows raised. It wasn't like Aelita to doubt.
"Well, he might not like you anymore," Aelita whispered, not able to think of a better thing to say.
"What?" Yumi shouted, not believing what she was hearing.
"What she means is," Jeremie came to Aelita's rescue. "Ulrich is so mad she can't see why you still like him. However, with enough time, he will be presentable again." He gave Aelita a signal to be quite.
"Fine," Yumi said, not completely free of her anger. "So long as he comes back to his senses."
"Don't worry," Finished Odd. "He will."
"I'd better get home then," Yumi said. "I don't want my parents worrying." Everyone bid Yumi goodbye. Odd also left, leaving Aelita and Jeremie alone.
"Want to go see a movie?" Jeremie asked. He had a smile on his face. It reminded Aelita of Ulrich's smile.
"Uh, maybe some other time," Aelita said with great haste.
"Oh," Jeremie said. "Want to just walk then?"
"No." Aelita answered.
"How about…" Jeremie started.
"Jeremie, I don't want to go out with you anymore!" Aelita protested.
"What!" Jeremie asked in disbelief.
"I, I mean," Aelita said, catching herself. "I don't want to go out tonight."
"Why?" Jeremie asked, not getting the hint. "We don't have any homework today, X.A.N.A. hasn't attacked yet…"
"Jeremie," Aelita commanded. "I just don't feel like it, O.K.?" She was annoyed, Jeremie could tell.
"Um, all right." Jeremie said. "Tomorrow?" Jeremie couldn't resist. He was, after all, crazy about Aelita.
"I don't think so," Aelita said, walking off. Sensing he had overdone it, Jeremie ran to catch her.
"Wait, please!" Jeremie panted. "I'm sorry; you can't blame me if I love you."
But I do Aelita thought. The stars came out.
"Well, I just feel like sleeping right now," Aelita lied.
"That's fine, I guess," Jeremie muttered, looking down. Then he looked at her expectantly. "Can I have a kiss goodnight?"
"Err, I'd rather not, Jeremie," Aelita said, wanting to leave. "People might get the wrong idea."
"I don't care what people think!" Jeremie exclaimed. "I want people to know I love you!"
Oh Jeremie Aelita thought. She pitied him, but what could she do. She was Ulrich's girl.
"That's," Aelita started, not knowing how to break it to him.
"Shhh," Jeremie put his finger to Aelita's lips. "We mustn't waste the evening talking like this. Let's make the most of it." He tried to kiss her.
Jeremie fell on the floor. He got up, and realized Aelita was gone. She was running off.
