Okay here is my chapter 7. I have been trying to update more so here it is. I have the next few chapters already planed out but I just haven't had the time to write them out.

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko. I wish I did but I don't.

Chapter 7: What Is Going On Yumi?

Yumi's POV

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

I slammed my hand on my alarm clock and moaned knowing I still could have got an hour or more of sleep but I was already up. I moved my body slowly due to it being soared from the last night's incident. I got up and decided to take a shower. I took a cold shower and the water felt good around the bruises I had. I came out, rapped a towel around me, and looked in the shower room mirror. I had purple all over my cheek where William hit me and my shoulders were bruised up too.

When I got back to the room, I put on a lot of makeup so you couldn't see the bruises any more. I looked fake, but it didn't matter as long as nobody could see that someone had been hitting me. I wore a sweatshirt so that my shoulders were not visible and my legs were covered by sweatpants. I looked weird not to mention it was a hot summer day.

I walked down to the bench were my friends and I usually met.

"Hey Yumi" Ulrich said as I approached them.

"Hey" I said sounding weak and out of breath.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Ya, fine never been better." I lied.

"Any news on XANA yet Jeremie?" I asked.

"No why?" Jeremie said.

"Just wondering. It's been 4 days since his last attack." I said.

"Aren't you hot in that, it is like 80 degrees out here." Odd asked looking at my sweatshirt and sweatpants.

Of course I was hot. I felt like I was going to have a heat stroke any minute. I was sweating more than I had ever sweated in my life.

" Uhh..no…I'm …fine." I said.

"Really Yumi cause you don't look fine to me." Ulrich said.

"Maybe you should take the sweatshirt off." Aelita suggested.

"NO! I mean no. I'm okay. Besides it feels like winter out here." I told them.

"Whatever you say," Odd said.

Before they were going to see that I was hiding something Odd changed the subject.

"I hope they have meatballs for lunch today," he said.

"Odd is that all you think about, food." Jeremie protested.

I took a seat down on the bench and restrained the urge to scream from the pain I was experiencing. No one seemed to notice how quiet I was except for one person. Ulrich.

"Yumi are you sure you are okay, you don't look to well." Ulrich said laying a hand on my shoulder.

I came back to reality. I flinched and moved away quickly once I had realized that he laid a hand on my aching shoulder. He noticed how I moved and he had a questioned look on his face. I knew what he was going to say next.

"Yumi what's wrong?" he said.

I knew if I told him the truth he would treat it like it was the end of the world. Not to mention he would beat the hell out of William.

"Nothing. I just have to go." I said quickly and sprinted off in another direction. Frankly I had know idea were I was going but as long as it was any where from here it was good. I herd Ulrich yell my name but I didn't turn back and I ran into the forest.

The rest of my Saturday afternoon I spent in the forest shucking sticks at things and enjoying the peacefully nice and quiet it assured me. It gave me a chance to be alone and think. At least it was somewhere were William wasn't. I never wanted to see his face again.

I took off my sweatshirt and ran my fingers along the bruised on my shoulders. I flinched in pain but I was still strong enough to hold back tears. People told me I was strong. I was never a weak person. No one has ever seen me cry or whine. I never told anybody this but I have can never remember a time in my life were I have cried. And frankly I never want to. My mom always called me a miracle baby because unlike most babies when they are born, they cried but I just opened my eyes and I was a perfectly normal human being as if nothing had ever happened.

I never told anyone because it is already hard enough being the creepy goth girl (as Sissy says) but to also be the girl who is like invincible to crying. That wasn't exactly on my number one on my things to do list.

It was now five till seven so I walked to the cafeteria for dinner. Everyone was gossiping and chattering with their friends as they usually. Dinner was the nosiest meal of the day. I grabbed a tray full of food and walked over to Jeremie, Aelita, and Jeremie. Odd wasn't there because he left to go to Sam's after lunch.

There was a split second of silence as I approached the table.

"Hey Yumi" Jeremie and Aelita finally said as I sat down.

"Hey." I said back as I sat down trying to make the least amount of contact with Ulrich as possible.

"Hi Yumi." He nervously greeted.

"Hi." I said my head still down. Why did he always continue to talk to me? He's the only one that could get something out of me.

Aelita and Jeremie were on the opposite side of the table then me and Ulrich were, and were in their own conversation, so Ulrich started one with me.

"Yumi what was this morning all about?" he asked.

"I told you it was nothing," I snapped back quickly regretting what I said.

"No it's not nothing. I want to know what's up with you because we used to be best friends. I care about you, and right now I know you are lying to me."

I looked him in the face. I was tired with everything going on in my life. I wasn't able to tell my friends I was a model, wasn't able to tell my friends my boyfriend was beating on me and I wasn't able to tell Ulrich how I felt about him. Everything was coming up at once. I was about to barf. And it was all because I was afraid of what would happen next.

"Ulrich what do you think of me as?" I asked completely out of the blue, but something that had been on my mind since I first met him.

"What?" he said confused of why I brought up that questioned and not quite sure if I actually asked that.

"You herd me. What do you think of me as? An enemy, a friend, … a …girlfriend.

He stopped in astonishment. You could tell this was not what he expected this conversation to lead to.

"I'm tired of guessing Ulrich. Just tell me and I'll leave you alone."

"Yumi I…" he started.

"Yumi, everyone knows what he thinks about you he would never want to go out with a freaky Goth girl." Sissy interrupted. "He just doesn't want to hurt your feelings. But now he's is dating me" she said.

I had had enough. I let her get to me and I couldn't stop it now. I stood up, jammed my hand into the spaghetti on my plate, and smeared it all over Sissy's top.

Sissy made a high-pitched scream. "MY SHIRT!"

I glared at Ulrich again.

"If that's really what you feel Ulrich then don't worry, you can be absolutely positive I won't bother you any more!!"

"YUMI WAIT!" he yelled.

But I didn't let him finish. I stormed out the door as fast as I could not wanting see his face again.

I finally got up to my dorm room and slammed my door closed practically making the room vibrate.

I herd a loud bang on the door. I was mad at the time and didn't want to answer it.

"IF THAT'S YOU ULRICH JUST GO AWAY!" I shouted.

I swung the door open and I was surprised to see that Ulrich wasn't standing there, it was William.

"Where were you this afternoon?" he demanded.

"I was in the woods, like it really matters." I said.

"Did I tell you could go in there?" he said angrily.

"No but…"

"You do not go anywhere without me. You're my girlfriend. I don't want to see you near that Ulrich again either."

"You can't tell me how to run my life! Girlfriend or not, I can go where ever I want to go!"

I moved backward as he lifted his hand to me. I kept backing up till I couldn't anymore.

I was caught in a corner.
