Chapter 4
In the Hallways
Aelita ran as fast as she could. She didn't like Jeremie anymore. He couldn't have her. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could never tell him that. He did do something right, though. He made her want Ulrich, and now. That's were she was going.
She spotted Jim, and crouched down. She was in the shadows, and couldn't be seen easily. Eventually, Jim walked in the other direction. Aelita took her chance.
She was almost to his dorm, when someone came out from it. Odd.
Aelita turned and rushed down the hallway. In her haste she heard Odd fall down, and instinctively looked his way. He was standing, his back turned to her. Aelita stopped, realizing were he was going. Straight to the restrooms.
Sighing, Aelita continued to Ulrich's room, walking now. She made it without any further interruptions. She knocked.
"Who is it?" Aelita heard a grumpy voice.
"Your sweetie," Aelita said in a lovely voice. The door was opened almost instantly.
"Couldn't stay away, could you?" Ulrich asked as he swept her into a hug.
"Not at all," Aelita responded, relaxed by Ulrich's voice. Suddenly Odd's footsteps were heard.
"We have to get out of here," Aelita said, worried.
"Don't worry," Ulrich said. "I know the hallways like the back of my hand. If we take two more rights, we'll reach a dead end. It's almost hidden, nobody goes there."
"All right," Aelita agreed, and they were off.
They rushed since Odd would soon be directly behind them. As they turned Aelita swore she heard scrambled footsteps. As they reached the dead end, Ulrich grabbed Aelita again.
"May I?" He asked. He didn't have to, as Aelita kissed him a second after.
It was a short kiss though, as Ulrich suddenly dropped her.
"Hey!" she shouted, upset. But Ulrich was staring, and said but one quite word.
"Jeremie."
