Yumi jumped onto her bed after coming home from school, she had had a tiring day and just wanted to relax now. She grabbed the remote to her stereo, turned it on and listened to her favourite band, Evanescence.

She reached for her bag off the floor and grabbed her black notepad out of it.

She looked up suddenly as her CD skipped. She growled as she had to move to restart her CD.

As she walked back to her bed, she grabbed her black felt, intending to doodle in her notepad.

As she went to open the notepad up, her mother called her for her dinner. Yumi moaned as she walked out of her room.

Meanwhile...

"Odd will you stop being so hyper and let me get on with my homework?" Ulrich moaned looking at Odd jumping around to his techno music.

Odd looked at him through his shades.

"Yeah ok, but only 'cause its dinner time, you coming?" he replied.

Ulrich shook his head.

"I'm feeling sick; it's why I didn't have anything to eat at lunch"

Odd nodded his head satisfied with the reason Ulrich was skipping meals.

Ulrich opened up his notepad and went to doodle on the first page but looking down he saw that it wasn't his handwriting written. He read the writing to see whose notepad it was exactly and who possibly had his.

He quickly found out it was Yumi's. He knew he should have stopped but couldn't help reading on...

He gasped as he nervously finished reading.

She loved him. He had spent three years of hiding his feelings when she returned them.

He quickly jumped up, realising that she had his notepad...

Yumi took the steps two at a time, raced into her bedroom, switched the music on and opened 'her' pad up.

She looked down at her earlier writings only to find Ulrich's writing instead. She knew she shouldn't pry into his personal business but friends didn't have secrets did they?

Her mouth couldn't be opened any wider or her eyes get any bigger by the time she finished reading.

She couldn't believe it; here it was, after three years of wondering and hoping, confirmation that Ulrich Stern loved her. She felt stupid about hiding her feelings now.

She jumped up quickly, realising that Ulrich must have her notepad.
