"Everyone knows it but her. I can't tell her. She wants to be with Jeremy, not me. I respect that, but I still love her." The blond haired boy closed the cover on his writing and stuffed the journal under his bed. Kiwi jumped up on his master's lap and whined, a signal that he needed to be walked. Odd grabbed Kiwi's leash from his drawer and took Kiwi outside.
When he came back inside, he saw Aelita in the hall. She was crying. "Aelita, what's wrong?" Odd asked, concerned. The pink haired girl threw herself into Odd's arms. Odd was startled at first, but then smiled at having her in his arms. "Odd, Jeremy has started to hit me!" she cried. "What?" Odd screamed. "Yes, Odd. He's even left cuts," Aelita said sadly. "That urhhhhhhhhhh!" Odd screamed. "Odd, I don't want you getting in trouble. I can't tell anyone in till I am safe from him. Please, just try to help me discreetly," she pleaded with him. "Ok. Do you need some help with your cuts?" Odd asked. "Yes, Odd. Thank you," Aelita said.
They went to Odd's room and he got a first aid kit. She rolled up her sleeves and Odd gasped at the amount of bruises left. He gently wiped her arms clean and bandaged them as best he could. Aelita pulled of her shirt so that Odd could treat the wounds on her back. Odd could not believe the amount of damage that Jeremy was inflicting on her. He gently cleaned and bandaged her back as well. "Aelita, if Jeremy asks who bandaged you up, come to my room as fast as you can," Odd instructed her. "Ok, thank you. Odd," Aelita said.
Odd could not sleep, as he was very worried about Aelita. He hoped she would be fine. The next morning, he saw her in the cafeteria with Jeremy. She waved to Odd. He waved back and they came over. They ate their breakfast in silence. After biology, Mrs. Hertz asked Aelita to stay for a few minutes. Odd overheard the conversation. "Is everything all right. Aelita? You look a little worried," Mrs. Hertz said. "I am fine, Mrs. Hertz," Aelita answered "You know, if anything is ever wrong, you can talk to any of the staff and they can help," Mrs. Hertz told Aelita. "Thank you for telling me that," Aelita said. She walked out the door and Odd said, "I hope you will be ok with Jeremy." "I will be. If it gets too bad, I will come to you or the teachers," Aelita reassured him
