"Yumi? Why?" Odd stopped.
"You two enjoy yourselves!" Yumi said, disgusted. "Odd, I ate. I'm ready to go." She shrugged and looked around. "I'll walk back…by myself." Noticing that nobody would go with her, Ulrich stuffed all his food in his mouth.
"I'll go too." He said, with a mouthful. They all laughed.
"'K. Suit yourselves. See ya." Odd said.
"Yea, see ya later." Ulrich said. Walking back, quite slowly, Ulrich started up a conversation. "So… What's up?"
"Nothin'" Yumi said, again, looking down.
"You can look up, you know. I'm not that ugly!" Ulrich said.
"Ha-ha. Sure about that?" Yumi said. When Ulrich went silent, she added, "Kidding! Gosh, you should know when I'm kidding and when I'm not!" She said laughing. Ulrich smiled.
"Good. I'd have to hit you for that comment. No special treatment 'cause you're a girl." He smirked.
"Hey!" She punched him in the arm. "Your such a loser… I can't believe I'm going to that dance wi---" She stopped herself.
"Oh yea…" Ulrich replied. "It's alright. I get it…"
"Ulrich, it's not like that."
"Not like what?" He said, kind of mad, yet embarrassed.
"Don't think I don't want to go with you!" She blurted out.
"Well, then, what do you want to do?"
"Well…what's left is…to go to the dance…. With you." She said quietly. Ulrich looked towards the wall.
"What's left. All right. Whatever. Well, there's your room. Bye." Ulrich said sadly.
"It's not like that, Ulrich!"
"It's fine. See ya." He waved and walked to his room.
"Ulrich! Ulrich, come back here! I want to explain it! Ulrich!" She yelled. Sighing, she added, "Fine. What's left would be William. I'll go with him!" Shocked at the words that she just yelled, she fainted. She fainted at the thought; she worked so hard to get Ulrich to go, and to go with him, and she just threw her dream away. Ulrich heard a thud, so he turned around.
"What?" He stopped. "Yumi? …Yumi!" He ran towards her. "Yumi! C'mon, get up! Yumi!" He grabbed his mobile and called Aelita. If anything, she'd know what to do.
"Aelita! Yumi fainted. Come to your room a.s.a.p!" He hung up. "I can't just leave her here." He thought. He bent down and picked her up. "Oh, wow… Oh this hurts the back." He said stressing. "Man, she's heavy!" He paused. "Did I say that out-loud? Good thing she's asleep!" He smiled. He grabbed her key on her key chain and opened the door to her room. He walked over to her bed and put her on it. "Whew! That was some serious weight lifting…" He paused again. "Oops…"
"What should I get her? I don't know what to do!" He yelled. Suddenly Aelita ran in, out of breath.
"She fainted?" She asked.
"Yea, outside the door."
"Then how'd she get on her bed?" Aelita asked. Ulrich pointed to himself. Aelita smiled. "Awe… How cute!"
"Shut up. It was some hard work. Man, she's heavy." Ulrich said. Aelita slapped him in the head and walked towards Yumi. "Hey!"
"Water?" Aelita asked.
