End recap.

Yumi's P.O.V

As I was walking to school, about half-way there and I saw Ulrich and Odd. So I decided to go over to them.

"Hey guys!" Odd and Ulrich turned around immediately, the former grinning like an idiot.

"Hey Yumi!" he exclaimed.

"Hey," Ulrich replied smoothly.

"So what's your first class Ulrich?" I asked excitedly.

"English."

"Nice! Same here!" I yelled, probably a bit over the top judging from the way Ulrich was glaring at me. "Ok...I'll leave you be..." He stalked off before I could get lost. Odd had sensed the tension between us two.

"He's always like this Yumi so get used to it."

"Alright see you later then!" I replied, running off and heeding his advice. I ran towards English class suddenly bumping into Sissi. who came in front of me. She glared at me. I felt uneasy and gulped before regaining my composure.

"Hey Sissi! You need help with something?"

"You better stay away from Ulrich you hear me Yumi!" she yelled at me. I sighed; I knew there would be some sort of attraction between the most popular guy and girl in the school. But I wasn't gonna let her talk to me like that.

"Why? You can't make me anyway!" I retorted, just as equally as loud as her. She grabbed me by the neck.

"He's with me! Got that Yumi!?" Finally, she dropped me and stomped off. Ulrich came running over to me to help me up. I assumed he didn't see the strangling part. I needed to find out if he actually liked her.

"Are you ok Yumi?" he asked gently.

"Yah thanks," I replied, shocked by his sudden concern. I thought he hated me... or thought I was a lovestruck fan. Well, I have to admit, I was lovestruck. And I was a fan...

"No prob let's head to English." We headed towards English and all the other classes together.

After school when I came out with Odd and Ulrich, I saw their friends – Aelita and Jeremie walking out of another class. They kissed for a few seconds and he walked off, probably on his way home. I turned around to Ulrich and Odd, who just stared at me.

"I thought Jeremie and Aelita were in our year..." I trailed off confused.

"Oh they are... But they're super smart MR and MRS Einstein so they're in the higher English class," Odd explained.

"Oh, umm I need to go to the toilets. You two go ahead..." I said, wanting to speak to Aelita. She was a female friend of Ulrich's, so she probably knew if he liked Sissi.

"Okay..." Odd replied before giving me a grin. Ulrich looked at me suspiciously but walked off with Odd. I immediately ran up to Aelita.

"Hey Aelita!" I called. She spun around and smiled at me.

"Yup? Yumi right?" she said, popping the p.

"Yah, you're friends with Ulrich right?" I asked, straight forward.

"Yeah, didn't we introduce ourselves to you? We're the Lyoko Gang, me, Jerry, Odd, Ulrich and me. Sissi as well, although I don't know why... She pushed herself in..." I smirked at the nickname she gave her boyfriend and the way she looked so dreamy when she said it.

"Okay. But are you close with him?"

"Who Jerry?" she asked confused. She was obviously thinking about him.

"No, Ulrich..."

"Oh, yeah well you know he's one of my best friends. We're sort of alike. I'm shy, well around other people, not with my friends. And he's quiet," she replied.

"Do you know who he likes or..." I trailed off, making a weird sign with my hands. And it gave Aelita the wrong idea.

"Yumi! I'm perfectly happy with Jeremie, I don't two time!" she shrieked.

"No, you got me wrong. I mean does he trust you enough to tell you who he likes?"

"As I said, he's really quiet. It's hard to know unless you ask him straight forward."

"Oh, so he's not dating... say... Sissi?" I asked, trying to be casual and subtle.

"You LIKE him!" she chimed, doing the 'Odd' grin.

"Hey you related to Odd or something...?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Actually yes, I'm his cousin. But whatever! You like Ulrich!"

"No..." I exclaimed blushing. What was the point? She was Mrs Einstein, she was way too clever to lie too. Especially about a little crush on her best friend.

"Okay you got me..." I admitted shyly. "I thought he was dating Sissi."

"Oh no! She likes him but he doesn't even talk to her. God, he hates her! Actually, I can find out if he likes you, you know..."

"Uhh no need!" I replied.

"Hey, you wanna go to the Lyoko Gang's factory?" she chirped.

"Sure!"

"You can get to know the rest of the gang!" Aelita led me to the 'factory.'

When we got there, Jeremie was standing outside the door waving at us. Or rather Aelita... Suddenly, a boy with bluish black hair appeared in front of us.

"Are you Yumi?"

"Yah that's her why?" Ulrich asked. I had no idea when he came out.

"Urich, Aelita, stay out of this!"

"I challenge you to a battle of Pencak Silat!" Oh was that it? I thought he wanted to kidnap me or something!

"Alright! Let's play, you're going down!"

I won! And I think Ulrich was impressed with me.

"You lose William!" I yelled.

"Cool!" Ulrich commented, making me flush slightly. Aelita gave me a knowing look making me glare at her. She just giggled at me. Jeremie, who had his arm protectively around her waist gave her a questioning look. Odd did the same from her left.

"See you later Yumi," William said, snapping us out of our little... whatever it was... He left in a flash and Odd was really confused.

"What does he mean by see you later?"

"I have no clue..." I replied.

"Weird..."

"Hey, let's go inside!" Jeremie said. Everyone followed him and Aelita in. I wondered what William meant by "see you later."

William's P.O.V

"That Yumi girl sure is interesting," I said to Xana, my boss.

"Are you saying you're going to follow her everywhere from now on?" he asked me.

"Maybe, she's strong in battling." I disappeared into thin air and went to find Yumi, back at the Lyoko gang's factory.

A/N: So what do you think? Good? Bad? Review?
