Sorry for the late update guys but I have been extremely busy with school work and all. I know I said after 8 reviews I would update so here it is! Next update I am aiming for 13 reviews.

Trixter93: Yup I got bored and that seemed like the appropriate time and place to talk about it. Just to express Ulrich's reaction.

Desparidy Crescent Moon: Thanks a lot. I'm glad that this is drawing more people in. It will turn a little AU somewhere so its just a warning thats all.

PeaceToThePeople: Im glad that you are satisfied with my dialog. Its my first time trying to make them sound embarrassed and what not. I KNOW Odd's last line was just one of those epic romance finishing lines!

Dogle-puppy: Well you know it seems everyone that knows me and read this seems to grade rather harshly. As in with a regular story they don't look at grammar. I want people to b able to relate to my characters, its what makes them feel like "Oh dang..." Thanks tho, all this input helps

Chapter 3: Doubts? Second thoughts?

Yumi's P.O.V.

Whats going on with William? He was so perfect before, the guy of my dreams. Now everything he was before is gone. It's replaced by all these grotesque traits. I know Ulrich told me to look at the best in him, but its hard to. Those good traits have been shrouded by everything I hate.

He wants too much physical contact. I'm not sure if he remembers but I'm sure I said that I didn't like it that much. Every time I try and make it obvious but he doesn't get it. He isn't giving me my own space, he wants to see me too much. I enjoy seeing him but he tried too hard to see me. He stares at me out of the corner of his eyes and when I catch it he hides and acts like nothing happened. Its kind of creepy, I feel like I'm always being watched.

He wants everything planned out too much. When something goes wrong he gets so depressed. I can understand wanting everything to be perfect but there is not surprise. If something goes wrong or is just isn't planned we can still do everything else. But he gets all emotional about it. I'm someone who likes to go with the flow, it makes things more fun.

What happened? I was so in love with him before that I even kissed him...

Flashback

Me, William and a bunch of friends were out for dinner. It was a very extravagant restaurant, nice setting, atmosphere, and most importantly food. I have to say that I liked it a lot. When the bill came everyone tossing in their share, when I was about to I felt a warm hand stopping mine.

"Its alright I'll pay for you this time," William said with a smile. He was already laying the money down.

"What? No it's okay" I was really taken back. Yes we were in a relationship but I don't expect him to pay for me.

"It's alright, this whole time I was with you I have never paid for you yet"

"No, thats not important, you know money isn't an issue for me, plus is expensive.."

"It isn't an issue for me either, I want to pay for you, you do so many things for me, this is the least I can do for you" with that he gave the waiter the check.

Even though I said that it wasn't a big deal, deep down inside it meant a lot to me. So I did something I never expected. Before I knew it I was already leaning over and kissing his cheek. I know a kiss on the cheek isn't much for people but for me that is a big step. Heck I didn't even believe in kissing on the lips before marriage. This was probably the farthest I would go.

Then a whistling sound snapped me out of my trance. I JUST realized I kissed him in front of a group of my friends. My face started to instantly burn. I sat back like I normally would and decided that the ground was interesting. I did everything just to avoid eye contact with anyone. I was so embarrassed, I don't know what came over me.

End flashback

He use to give me a genuinely happy feeling. Now I just don't really feel like seeing him anymore. I wonder if getting together with him was the right idea. Maybe we were meant to be just friends. Ugh I need to talk to Ulrich.

No One P.O.V.

Ulrich just came back from the showers. As he was toweling himself off his phone went off. He looked at the caller I.D. Oh its Yumi, good thing Odd isn't here.

"Hey Yumi, whats up?"

"Ugh you have no idea how frustrated I am. William is just pestering me like no tomorrow. I'm so glad that we are coming back tomorrow." she sounded so relived of the thought of leaving.

"Why do you want to come back so soon? Isn't it suppose to be a lot of fun there?" its not like he didn't want her to come back, but how often to get to see Florida?

"Well since I'm here with classmates we all have to stick together and I'm tired of seeing William so much. I just want a break from him."

"Oh I see, well whats he doing that is so annoying?"

"Well one day I decided that I was going to just hang out with Sissy. So I rejected to hang out that day, I told him it was a girl's day out. Then when I met up with Sissy she had Theo with her (I forgot to add him in the beginning). All of us know that Theo is crazy about her, so me being there really didn't mean anything. But when William found out he got so upset. Saying that I lied to him about it not being just girls. He got on my cause so much UGHH" she was getting worked up just talking about it.

"Did you ever try telling him that Theo just showed up?" he knew she did but he had to try and reoccupy her.

"YES, but he wouldn't listen, he just sulked around his hotel room watching T.V. I admit that it was out of plan but its not like I expected to hurt him."

"You need to talk to him about this, not now, but later when he cools down. You need to sort this out, I don't want to see you two break up over this misconception."

"We aren't going to break up because of this little problem." she sounded so confident that it was not a big deal.

"You know if you let a problem sit around it will always get worse, if this isn't the reason then it will become the reason. You need to stop it ASAP." she had to understand that little things cant be left alone.

"Thanks for hearing me out, I feel like such a burden on you..." she sounded more sad then pissed now. Girls...what can you do about them?

"Its no big deal trust me, just make sure to sort it out, I gotta go now, I'll talk to you later!"

"Alright thanks a lot Ulrich, see ya."

Ulrich knew that his advise wasn't the best so he needed to consult with the best. That person was Aelita. If anyone could help it would be her, since she is close with both William and Yumi she must know both sides of the story.

"Hello?"

"Hey Aelita?"

"Oh! Hey Ulrich! Its been a few days since we have talked, what happened? Talking to Yumi?" she put so much emphasis on her name, her knowing about all this made him blush.

"Sh-Shut up, I hate you, you know what I am thinking way too much" what was wrong with him?! Just mentioning her name caused him to stutter.

"Ya ya, whatever. So whats up?" she sounded like she was aiming for something.

"Well Yumi has been calling me about her problems with William, I don't mind talking to her but she seems to be struggling more, day by day. I don't think my help is good enough, so I need your insight on their situation."

"HAHAHAHA I hate to break it to you Ulrich but she has been telling me everything!" this was all said in a triumphant tone.

"Well that makes sense you two are pretty much best friends..." inside he felt a little hurt that she didn't trust him as much.

"Well a lot more has been going on, William is JEALOUS of YOU" again she emphasized the important words.

"Wait, what?! Jealous of me? You have to be kidding" there is no way that he had something with Yumi that William didn't.

"Well remember when you guys came back from that away game last week?"

"Yeah..." he was trying to recall those past events.

"Remember after you guys got off she gave you that hug because she was leaving the next day?"

"Um..yes" just that thought was causing his face to heat up.

"Remember that William is on the team with you? Remember she did it in front of everyone?" now he was starting to get what she was saying. "William called me and told me about that, he thinks she flirts around too much, 'She doesn't give her own boyfriend hugs but she gives guys like Ulrich hugs' " he had to admit, she did a pretty good impression of him.

"Everyone knew that didn't mean anything, we are just friends..." he hated saying that because he knew that was all they could be.

"Well he didn't take it that way."

"Great, now I am the cause of all this..." icy disappointment flooded him. He interfered, he said that he wouldn't do that. He failed as her guardian.

"Don't say that, William is just taking this the wrong way, if you must know Yumi isn't blaming any of this on you." she didn't want him to get all depressed, she knew he was trying his best. "Okay Ulrich I think I need to tell you something, she seems happier around you then William, a different kind of happy, a more natural happy."

Stunned with this statement Ulrich didn't say anything for minutes. "Ulrich?"

"Thanks a lot Aelita, you always know how to make me feel better." he knew she said that to help him feel better

"I wasn't the one who said this, Yumi told me herself, that she feels more comfortable around you" with that she quickly hung up and turned her phone off. It was so fun leaving him hanging in his own thoughts. She wanted him to toss and turn at night thinking about this. What a good friend.

I know this chapter isn't the best but I rushed because I have kept you guys waiting way to long. I might fix it later, it depends on the reviews that come in. This chapter is a little dry in my opinion, not enough emotional stuff going on. But review and that will determine what happens next.
