Yumi walked nervously to school. Her parents hadn't allowed her out last night so she couldn't retrieve her notepad and be totally humiliated so she knew that today something big was going to happen between her and Ulrich.
Ulrich looked over to the gates and saw Yumi walking through the gates. His heart fluttered at the thought of her writings about him. Jim had spotted him last night leaving his dorm and he had to return to his dorm, unable to get his notepad back.
Just as Yumi spotted Ulrich with the gang, William blocked her path of getting to them.
"Come with me Yumi, I wanna show you something" He demanded.
"Does it have to be right now, William?" she moaned.
"Yes it does, before you have any more distractions"
He grabbed her arm and made her follow him.
Ulrich had watched her and William with glaring eyes. He smirked as he remembered her notes on him, "The William problem".
He shrugged and followed Odd, Jeremie and Aelita to Biology.
Yumi looked around to find her group and friends. She finally found them and just as she was about to approach them, and Ulrich, Sissy got there first.
"Ulrich, dear, I think its best if we make an early start on our project. That way, we can spend more time getting to know one another better"
Ulrich rolled his eyes but followed her to her dorm room. The more he fought with her, the longer this project would take meaning he would have to spend more time with her, which he really didn't want.
Yumi watched with jealous eyes. She and Ulrich had kissed, not that Sissy knew that but he did and so did she now. He had really said much about stuff bad about her just used the term 'bugging'. Yumi groaned inwardly and sat down on the bench next to Aelita.
By the end of lunch, neither Ulrich nor Yumi had had a chance to meet up and talk. They didn't even come to face to face. The people to thank were William, Sissy, Jim and Miss Hertz.
Yumi walked home depressed. Even though she knew that she was going to be embarrassed when they saw each other properly but something else would have happened, something good. But through teachers and annoying students it hadn't been possible.
'Typical' thought Yumi. 'The one day we don't see each other and it's the day I desperately wanted to see him.'
Ulrich threw himself on his bed. He just couldn't believe that they hadn't come face to face. They hadn't avoided each other, he knew that. He knew that if it hadn't been for William, she would have walked up to the gang first thing. Then at break, Sissy had to come and get him for their project. Lunch was just impossible, Jim had made him and Odd clear the shed with him, and then once that was done, Miss Hertz had fetched Yumi from the cafeteria to talk to her about her homework.
He had seen her with the teacher leaving the cafeteria and heading for the science block.
Then to end it all, he had received a detention off Mr Green so it was impossible to see her before she walked home.
'I hate my luck' he thought solemnly.
