This is the beginning of 4th story on my page. I actually didn't think that this would last but here we are. I know that my previous story didn't do as good as first and second one so I will try to make up with this one. Enjoy.
Ulrich, Yumi and Jeremy were at the breakfast talking about the day ahead of them. Aelita was still at the dorms but would soon join them.
"Ugh I can't stand this" Ulrich complained "Biology, math and history tests today. I should have stayed in my bed. Maybe it's not to late to do so".
Yumi laughed at him "I would still make you get to the classes Ul. You know that".
Ulrich nodded in defeat and chuckled "Yeah, I know".
Their relationship was blossoming. For the past 2 and a half years they advanced pretty fast. They went all the way. Now they were at seventh haven.
Delmas now allowed girls and boys to share room. He belived that now they are older none of them would do something inappropriate. That proved wrong most of the time, but who cares.
Ulrich was now the tallest one of the group, being 6 ft tall. Yumi right after him being 5'9 ft tall. He still kept his old haircut but now with him being older it looked nicer. He was still wearing his green jacket even tho it was brought 3 years ago. Most of the school girls were drooling over him.
Yumi was Ulrich's roommate for a year and they had great time during that period. Yumi being 18 years old while Ulrich being 17. Her hair grew longer and now was halfway down her back. She kept her gothic like clothing but she also had some nicer ones.
"And besides, you couldn't make it without seeing me at least once Ul" Yumi told him and cuddled closer.
"Oh yeah?" Ulrich asked her in seductive tone.
"Okay, okay. Chill out guys. I don't like where this is going" Jeremy told them and chuckled.
Jeremy was still youngest of the group. He was 16 and was second lowest in the group being only 5'6. He kept his blonde hair as it was before. His clothes were still his casual nerdy clothes as it always was.
"He is right Ul, not here not now" Yumi than leaned closer and whispered "We will have time for it later".
Ulrich grinned and kissed her on the cheek "Okay, later".
Jeremy shook his head and sighted "I can't understand you two. Never".
Couple looked at him "What about you Jeremy? When are you going to make a move?".
He thought about that. After 3 years him and Aelita were same as they were then. No sudden moves, nothing. Highest base they got to is first one. Aelita wanted to take their relationship on the next level (just to make it clear, what I mean here is to take it to second base) but Jeremy refused thinking that they were not ready. Few times they got into a argument because of that but eventually got over it.
Jeremy sighted "I'm not sure. When time is right I guess".
"Come on Jeremy if you wait forever you won't be able to advance it" Ulrich told him.
"Yet if I go to fast I'm going to lose her because she doesn't like things to advance pretty fast" Jeremy shot back and Ulrich went silent.
Some girls were whispering between themselves near the group but the whispering spread out trough entire cafeteria.
"What's that all about?" Jeremy asked confused.
"I'm not sure" Ulrich responded "Hey Sissy!".
Sissy heard him call for her and walked towards their table.
"What is it Ulrich dear" she asked but quickly bit her tongue "Sorry, I forgot that you hate when I call you that".
Sissy was totally different person now than she was before. Now she was helping everyone as much as she could, influencing her father to be less harsh on everyone. Particularly on Ulrich and the group. Her and the group got closer and they considered her unofficial member.
Ulrich smiled at her "Don't worry about it".
She smiled back "I will try to do it as less as possible. Anyways what was the reason you called me?".
"What is the whole cafeteria whispering about?" Ulrich asked.
"Well word got spread that new student is coming here today" she answered.
"New student?" Yumi asked.
Sissy nodded "Yeah, it's a boy and now girls are discussing if he is good looking and stuff like that. And guys are discussing if he is good at sports and other stuff, you would know about that Ulrich".
"They are afraid that he is going to take all the girls" Ulrich responded and burst out laughing. Whole table joined him.
"Y-You are probably right" Yumi said while wiping her tears away from laughing so hard.
"There he is!" some girl shouted and whole cafeteria got one their feet.
"Calm down all of you!" Jim tried to keep peace but it didn't work. One half of them, girls, rushed to the windows to look at him while boys stayed at their places but were still paying attention.
Since they were sitting next to the window Ulrich and others leaned in to look.
They were right. It was that new student.
Even Ulrich and Jeremy needed to admit that he wasn't bad looking. He had blonde hair that was messy, he was same height as Ulrich and looked like he was working out a little. He was wearing blue pants, white sneakers, white sweatshirt and blue vest. Boy looked in the direction of cafeteria and a lot girls screamed in excitement.
"He is so handsome!" one of the screamed.
"I think he is looking at me!" other one added.
"No he is not. He was looking at me!" first one shot back.
Fight nearly broke out but Jim managed to calm situation down and everyone got back to their seats but were still talking about new boy.
Jeremy sighted "I can't belive those two girls nearly fought over a guy that they didn't even meet yet".
Yumi chuckled "I guess that he has that effect on people".
Group looked outside the window and saw him walking towards headmasters office.
In the meantime Aelita was finished with her shower and rushed to her room.
"I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late" she whispered to herself as she ran.
She got inside her room only to be welcomed by friendly barking.
"I know that you are hungry Kiwi, but let me get dressed first okay?" she said and patted Kiwi's head.
Kiwi was staying with her for past 2 and a half years. Kiwi loved her and she loved him. After Odd left Aelita decided to fulfill his wish and took care of Kiwi. She fed him right, took him out for walks, played with him and allowed him to sleep on her bed.
Aelita pulled out her clothes from the closet and started to dress up.
She was wearing pink skirt, white sneakers, pink t-shirt and her favorite purple sweatshirt. It was the same sweatshirt Odd gave her few weeks after she was brought to Earth, almost 4 years ago. He said that his mother made it for him and that it brings luck. She refused to take it at first but after some time she realized that resisting Odd's gift wasn't even option because he was bothering her everyday about it so she took it. Odd was so happy because of that, happier than she ever saw him. It was so strange it was still fitting her.
Kiwi's barked again.
"Okay boy, okay" Aelita said and chuckled. She walked over to the drawer where she kept Kiwi's food and got food out of it "Here you go".
Kiwi's started eating his food.
Aelita laughed at that "You are just like Odd, he was eating same way as you do".
Kiwi waved his tail at mention of his owner's name and Aelita suddenly got sad.
She walked over to her table and picked up a picture. It was the same one Odd had with him.
Aelita sighted "Almost 3 years passed Kiwi. You know that?".
She talked a lot about Odd not wanting to ever forget her best friend. He was always there for her, made her happy when she thought that it was impossible. Those were good times.
"If I could see him again, just once. That's all I'm asking for" she whispered to herself and looked at the mirror.
She was shortest one of the group being only 5'3 ft tall. Her pink hair grew longer as well and now was shoulder length long and she decided to keep it that way.
"I need to go now Kiwi, finish your meal and be quiet. Okay?".
Kiwi waved his tail again and Aelita smiled.
She closed the door behind her and rushed towards cafeteria.
"I'm going to be late".
While she was running down the stairs she lost her balance and started to fall down. Aelita closed her eyes and screamed. Like it was in the distance she heard someone barging in and running towards her.
Instead of her face hitting cold floor she felt that someone caught her before that could happen.
"I got you" voice said.
Aelita opened her eyes and looked at her savior. It was blonde boy, tall as much as Ulrich. There was scar on his cheek and few other scars on side of his head. She looked at his eyes. They seemed so familiar.
"Who-" she wanted to ask him but boy interrupted her.
"Are you okay? Good" he told her and smiled "Listen I would love to stay here and chat but I need to go to headmasters office".
He started to run up the stairs but stopped and turned around smiling at her "And please do me a favor. Try not to fall down stairs again, okay?".
She nodded and looked after the boy as he run up the stairs.
"Those eyes, that smile" she asked herself while she was walking towards cafeteria "Why do they seem so familiar?".
Ulrich was telling some joke to others when he noticed Aelita entering cafeteria.
"Hey Aelita!" he called for her.
Jeremy and Yumi also waved to her as she approached.
"Hey guys" she said and kissed Jeremy on cheek "How are you doing?".
"We are fine" Ulrich asked her and smiled "What about you sleeping beauty?".
Aelita chuckled at that "I'm doing good, thanks".
Yumi looked at her friend "Are you sure that you are okay Lita? You seem distracted".
"Well there is something" she sighted "Few minutes ago I was running down the stairs but lost my balance and nearly fell down. Don't worry Jeremy I'm fine. Anyways before I fell someone caught me".
"Someone?" Jeremy asked her.
"It was some boy, blonde and tall one. I never saw him before".
Ulrich realized it "It must be that new guy".
Others nodded.
"But even tho I never saw him he seemed so familiar" Aelita told them.
"And this is what distracts you?" Yumi asked.
Aelita nodded.
Yumi thought about that "Some people leave that effect on people Lita. You shouldn't worry about it".
She nodded again.
Bell rang and they needed to go to the class.
"Well Ms Hertz, here we come" Ulrich groaned and others laughed.
Once they were settled inside the class they waited for Ms Hertz to come. After some time she finally arrived.
"Sorry for waiting so long class but Mr Delmas called me to his office to discuss something" Mr. Hertz explain "Also there is another thing. Mr Delmas said that we will have new student join us".
"Ex student, new student. I guess it doesn't matter anymore Ms Hertz" voice said and boy entered the room.
Aelita looked in surprise as she recognized same boy from the staircase.
"I don't think I understand you, uh -" she didn't get to know his name since Delmas didn't tell her.
"Here" boy handed her piece of paper.
She read it and looked up in pure surprise "Odd Della Robbia?".
Wave of surprised sighs could be heard trough out entire classroom.
Odd nodded and smiled.
"Glad to be back" he said and looked at whole classroom.
This is it for this chapter. One of the longest ones I must say. Some parts might seem random and I'm sorry if it's like that but I personally like it. Anyways guys remember to R&R and until next time. Peace out.
