Yumi walked slowly to school, she didn't know what to expect today and hated when she had to wait for things to unfold themselves.

She looked up when she entered the gates and saw Odd, Jeremie and Aelita at the bench.

"Hey guys" She greeted

"Hi" they said in unison.

"Where's Ulrich?" she asked trying to not sound enthusiastic.

"Jim called the team for early morning soccer practise" Odd yawned.

Yumi nodded with the feeling of dread that today was going to be a repeat of yesterday.

"You're early aren't you?" Aelita asked.

"Hiroki was bugging me so I left early" Yumi lied.

Aelita smiled and nodded.

"Ulrich, you look shattered" Odd called.

Yumi looked around and saw him. Her heart skipped a beat but saw that Odd was right, he was red and out of breath.

"You would be too if Jim was pushing you and no-one else, I sear he's trying to kill me" Ulrich panted and sat down, leaning on the trunk of a tree.

Odd chuckled and threw a sweet wrapper at Yumi who chucked it back with force.

While this was happening Ulrich stole a glance at Yumi. She was wearing a black mini skirt and a red and black top with her gothic boots to match. She looked as beautiful as ever. And she loved him...and if she had read his notepad which he thought she would she would know that he loved her...

"Ok, why is everyone so quiet? I know Jer and Aelita are quiet 'coz they're concentrating on this video game but that's no excuse for you two" Odd stated pointing at Ulrich and Yumi.

Ulrich rolled his eyes

"I've just been playing soccer, since I got up, haven't I? Is that a reason for wanting to be quiet?" Ulrich retorted

Odd blinked and nodded, "You're always quiet anyways"

"Yumi-your excuse?" Odd turned to her.

"I'm tired" She replied too quickly.

"Ok what's happened between you two?" Odd asked smirking.

Both Yumi and Ulrich looked up at their purple friend.

"Nothing" they said in unison.

"ULRICH, COME TO THE CHANGING ROOM, I NEED TO SPEAK TO ALL OF THE TEAM ABOUT TOMORROWS MATCH"

Ulrich groaned as he got up and said his byes and followed Jim.

Yumi stared after him, he hadn't done anything. Maybe he hadn't read her notepad at all, but then again he would have mentioned her notepad, wouldn't he?

Ulrich sat down in the changing room, waiting for everyone to be gathered. Yumi hadn't a spoke a word to him so it meant that she hadn't read his notepad, which meant that she didn't know that he loved her. Which meant that he had to summon the guts up to tell her, or wait for her?
