Disclaimer: I do NOT own Code Lyoko. If I did, Yumi and Ulrich would be together already, and they would have actually kissed that one day on Lyoko. But since I do not own Code Lyoko, I can not make these things happen, therefore I resort to pathetic fanfictions like everyone else here. On with the story! P.S. Even though at times it may seem like a Yumi/Odd fic, it's NOT!

Yumi walked out of her biology class. She followed the walkway until she reached the bench that her and her friends usually occupied. She sat down, opened a book and waited there for her friends to come. She read for a few moments, and looked up at the sound of Odd's voice.

"Hey Yumi." Odd said, walking up to the tree next to the bench. He leaned against the trunk and began to absentmindedly pick at the bark.

"Hey Odd." Yumi replied, closing her book and closing her book and putting it in her bag. "Where are Ulrich and Jeremie?"

"Oh, Ulrich is talking to Mrs. Hertz about his Chemistry grade," Odd answered. "and I'll let you guess what Jeremie's up to."

Yumi smiled and offered, "Working on materializing Aelita?"

"You got it!" Odd said laughing.

Ulrich walked up behind the two. "Hey guys."

"Hey." Yumi replied.

"Er, I have to go feed Kiwi." Odd said. "I'll see you later." Before Odd walked away, he gave Ulrich a meaningful look, which luckily Yumi missed.

Odd ran off, leaving Yumi and Ulrich sitting on the bench.

"How was your day?" Ulrich asked her.

"Pretty much the same as it was the first time we went through today." Yumi replied with a laugh. "How was yours?"

"Well I'm just about failing chem., but I got Mrs. Hertz to let me have an extra credit assignment to bring up my grade."

"Well that's good."

"Uh. Oh." Ulrich gasped. He was staring just past Yumi's shoulder.

"What is it?" Yumi asked, turning around. Suddenly she knew what was wrong.

Sissi, was walking up to the two of them, or at least to Ulrich.

"Hello, Ulrich dear!" She said brightly as if she didn't do this every day. "Would you like some better company?" She then added, eyeing Yumi.

"I already have the best company with me." He said. Yumi blushed. Seeing this, Ulrich looked away and turned a deep scarlet, as well.

"Oh Ulrich, you're only saying that because you don't want to hurt her feelings!" Sissi whined, then she stormed off.

Ulrich rolled his eyes, causing Yumi to laugh.

"Oh, gee thanks so much, Yumi!" Ulrich said sarcastically. "Laugh at my misfortune! You know you really such a kind, considerate, caring friend. Thanks!"

"Oh shut up Ulrich!" Yumi said, playfully punching him in the arm.

"And now I get abused! What is this?" Ulrich said, causing Yumi to laugh even harder.

"But really." Ulrich said, turning completely serious. "She's so full of herself!"

"I know!" Yumi responded. "She just can't take a hint!"

This Sissi bashing thing went on for a little while longer, until Yumi noticed the what time it was.

"Oh wow! It's 9:30! I have to get home. Curfew is at 10 on weeknights!" Yumi stated, getting up from the bench. Ulrich followed suit.

"I'll walk you." He said.

The two left the bench area and crossed the campus. They walked in silence.

Occasionally, their hands would brush up against each others, causing them to look away and blush.

They finally made it to Yumi's house. Together they ascended the front steps.

"Thanks Ulrich." Yumi said, sounding truly grateful.

"Any time. It was no problem, really." Ulrich said. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah." She said, opening her door and heading inside. "Bye."

The door closed.

"Bye." Ulrich muttered softly, under his breath.

He stood outside her door for a few moments. He then realized it had to be about ten minutes to 10 pm. Curfew. He checked his watch. He was wrong, he had 5 minutes to get back to Kadic High.

"Damn." He muttered under his breath, as he sprinted off to the dorms.

AN: Okay that was chapter 1! If I get any reviews, I'll continue posting. We'll see. LOL!
