Yeah, such a dumb poem in the last chapter, but I did write it. I was thinking about saying that I got it off the internet, but I don't have the heart to lie. Feel free to criticize; I know I am a horrible writer. With no imagination, I would know because all of my friends tell me that. I only write for fun, Eheh :D
"Holy cow, your head is purple!" Yumi shouted obnoxiously. She was pointing at Terra, who had unsurprisingly dyed her hair purple.
"I know, Aelita gave me the idea of going all one color!" Terra answered. She smiled and flipped her hair around. "It's too bad that I'm going to get roots. That sucks."
"But but, IT'S PURPLE!" the Japanese girl shouted again.
"Is she slow or something?" Terra asked Aelita.
Aelita giggled and shook her head at Terra's remark. Then she looked at Yumi and said reassuringly "Well, it's a dull purple. It's not like it's neon or something!"
"So what did you and Ulrich do anyway. I never met anybody who could stay in The Bean for that long!" Alana asked Yumi.
Yumi blushed and Ulrich shifted in his seat. "You really want to know?" she asked.
"OH MY GOD YES!" Alana yelled jumping up on the table. She made the table shake so hard that the bowl of soup spilled all over a girl sitting next to her.
Yumi was taken back by Alana's reaction then smirked, "Well, how should I put this."
She was cut off by Hannah, "You saw Joe right? Ha ha, I knew it!"
"Yes that and," Yumi began to whisper, "Me and Ulrich kind of kissed under Big Ben."
"HOLY BURRITTO!" Terra exclaimed, listening to every word the Japanese girl said very carefully.
"You finally got together?" Aelita questioned. "Oh my god, I need all the details!" shouted Alana.
"Aww, I love high school romances!" Hannah gushed.
"Great, now all we need is poodle skirts and we can start singing that song from Grease," Terra grumbled.
Aelita looked befuddled at Yumi who whispered into her elf-like ear, "It was an old movie." The pink haired girl nodded and smiled.
"Whad'ya say?" Hannah asked Yumi.
The Japanese girl replied quickly by saying, "She doesn't watch old films."
--------------------------
Ulrich gazed over at his friends who were also listening intently to Yumi summarize the whole date. They kept on smirking at each other, whispering secrets into each others' ears about their thoughts on each big event. Even worse, Odd kept on stealing glances of Ulrich, then suddenly bursting into a fit of random giggles. Ulrich's face was hot with embarrassment.
The brunette hid his beet red face in his hands, all of his life he hated being laughed at. He reminisced about the time in third grade he had an oral report; the day after he had gotten his pallet expander. All throughout his speech, spit bubbles would form at his mouth and he would continuously have to slurp them back in his mouth so he wouldn't dribble. He looked like a rabid dog and the children began to stifle laughs. It was truly Ulrich's most embarrassing moment.
The lean brunette quietly sneaked away from his pals, they didn't even notice he was gone. Unknowingly to him, Ulrich walked head on straight into a girl with an unnaturally high pitched and annoying voice.
"Hello there Ulrich Darling," Sissy squealed. "I would like to introduce you to my new friends, Lisa, Amanda, and Krissy."
Ulrich could only stare at the equally snobbish girls behind Sissy. Lisa, the one on the right and perfectly straight black hair; not a single strand was out of place. Her icy blue eyes were hid behind tons of unneeded globs of makeup. A pointy, turned up nose rested on the center of her a face, and a pair of glossy pink lips was placed right below them. She could have been pretty, but her eyes of hatred ruined her appearance. The second girl, Amanda, was one of those super short, super skinny girls that you held nothing against but hated because they were just so perfect. Her naturally highlighted brown hair was pulled back tightly from her face letting a fountain of curly hair tumble down her back. Of course she wore all of the expensive, fashionable outfits like shirts from Hollister and Abercrombie that hugged her curvy figure. Unlike Lisa, Amanda was a very beautiful girl who didn't' need to wear makeup to make herself look nice, she was just as perfect looking as a porcelain doll.
Krissy on the other hand was a very plain looking girl with a very ordinary face and body. The only thing that stuck out was her blond hair which was a light as the inside of a freshly peeled banana. Once you got past the shock of her hair, you realized she was a very plain looking girl who was as flat as a broomstick. Krissy's baggy clothes only added to the effect. She seemed to be less loud and less harmful than the rest of the girls in the group. It was if she was such a shy and lonely person that she joined the group of snobs just so she would have a place to go. Ulrich couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic for her.
"Hello Ulrich," Amanda said seductively while smiling. It was so obvious that she was flirting with him.
Suddenly, with all of the courage he could muster, Ulrich bravely replied "I already have a girlfriend Amanda."
He mentally danced around in triumph as the brunette girl frowned and muttered, "Oh." She turned to face Sissy and whispered in her ear, "You said he wasn't taken you dope!"
Sissy, of course, was also very surprised. "Well, we need to get going, right girls? Good bye Ulrich." The four girls walked in unison down the hall of the cafeteria, swinging their hips and pointing their noses in the air.

"How romantic Ulrich, making out in front of Big Ben!" Odd exclaimed while stripping down to his underwear, and buttoning his striped pajamas onto his bare body. Sarcasm was dripping over every word he spoke.
"We didn't make out!" Ulrich exclaimed, his red face turning rosier by the second. "We just kissed," the brunette said, now whispering.
"Ha ha, Ulrich is blushing!" William said while laughing and pointing at his friend. The tall French guy just came out of the bathroom with sopping wet hair and a towel in his hands and his tee shirt in the other.
(a/n- yes to all the fan girl's dismay, he was wearing pants.) Will quickly tugged his shirt over his head and jumped on his bed which was just to the left of Ulrich's.
"Now he's under the covers!" Odd shrieked in delight from across the dorm. A certain blond was finding loads of joy in torturing his best friend. He began laughing insanely.
Ulrich made a frustrated groaned from under the sheets and heaved a sigh. "Just shut up Odd!" he mumbled, his voice muffled from the blankets. He loved when Odd messed around and all, just not with him.
William from across the room was making wet kiss noises and pretending to make out with his pillow. "Oh I love you Yumi! Mwah!" Odd howled with laughter and slapped his leg.
Somehow Ulrich came up with an amazing come back and yelled, "Well you guys are just jealous that I actually have a girlfriend and you don't."
William and Odd immediately shut their mouths. But as the two boys shut off the lights and got comfortable in their blankets, Odd mumbled "I'll get one soon Ulrich, you wait and see."
--------------------------
THE NEXT MORNING
"Hey guys," William said while smiling at Ulrich and Jeremie. He slammed his book bag on the table and sat down on one of the stools. He looked down the table and waved to his cousin Terra and her friends who were happily eating away.
"Hello William," Jeremie nodded. The blond boy took a bite of his bagel smothered with cream cheese then took a sip of apple juice. "Have you seen Odd?"
William shook his head no. "I thought he was down here with you guys. When I got out of the shower I was the only one in the room."
"Well that's weird," Ulrich stated bluntly. He folded his hands and stared at the back of his milk carton. "He is usually the first one down here, shoving food in his face." The brunette then immediately perked up; he heard a voice that was strangely familiar calling out his name.
"Ulrich!" wheezed a blond boy from across the cafeteria. He was beaming in triumph while sprinting down the length of the cafeteria. In Odd's strong hands was a petite girl with long curly brown hair. She was giggling and smiling prettily. Her expression seemed innocent, but the sparks in her eyes were devious.
"Oh shit," was all Ulrich could mumble as Odd and the girl came running right towards the table reserved especially for the gang.
Whee! Don't you just LoVE cliffies? I'm sorry for making this a really short chapter, but I didn't want to add anything else! I just wanted to introduce some new characters and an old one that will be very important to the plot. Oh, and thanks to Jenn for helping me out!
