I know this update is late but school and all. Wow 23 reviews! Thats 1 more then I asked for thanks guys! Hm lets aim for 31 now! Lets get something straightened out here, I am making Ulrich live through my life. Which means Ulrich is a mesh between me and him. This is just a heads up to all my friends that are reading this.

Dogle-puppy: Well its my turn to be evil! I mean I hate it when authors do that but I finally understand why.

Trixter 93: Anxious? Haha I'm glad that people take Ulrich's side! Yup yup I had everyone play tennis because it helps fit it to my situation.

PeaceToThePeople: Haha same, I think William is just too cocky in the show. No it isn't! It hurts so much, stings like a mother. Well I just wanted to throw some comical relief in there.

Desparidy Crescent Moon: Haha nice try but I got the correct amount of reviews. Don't worry though I counted them up. I'm working on it now, its just this story is really late in development, because I have been slacking off in my life story.

Viva La Brookie: Yup yup they will because I remember, well here it is, I know its slow but I dunno if a lot of people like this story or not yet.

ShadeKitty: I like Ulrich and Yumi more then William. I just don't like that guy.

Chapter 5: What will he do?

Yumi and William are alone talking right now, I think they might break up...

That sentence kept echoing through his head. Again two alarms went off. Alarm 1: This is your chance! Take it you idiot! Alarm 2: She is leaving someone she is happy with, you better stop her from doing something she is going to regret. Of course being the person he is he took option #2. Just then...

"ULRICH ARE YOU STILL THERE?!" he was taken completely off guard and dropped his phone. He remembered that he was still on the phone with Aelita while lost in his thoughts. He scrambled to pick his phone up.

"Umm ya sorry about that" he said while running his ringing ear.

"What happened? You just completely stopped talking for 5 minutes or so." she knew it had to do with something she said.

"Nothing don't worry about it, I was just thinking thats all." then he started trailing off.

"Come on Ulrich, I know something is wrong, you never just randomly start thinking." curse her and knowing him so well.

"Well it just seemed so unexpected that they would actually break up. It just seemed like simple problems they were going through."

"Thats what I thought too but its really starting to bother her, she said that she tried talking to him but it just didn't work out."

"Oh, well I guess I''l just find out the news later from her, but you know thanks for updating me on all this" he really was grateful, because she could have easily left him in the dark.

"Well of course Ulrich you are my bestie right? Plus I'm sure Yumi would want you to know, but since she is a little occupied at the moment it works out." she always had a way to make him feel important.

"Alright well I'm going now, thanks again, bye" with that he hung up.

He returned to the courts deep in thought. His friends were getting annoyed by it so he set himself into a win-win situation. If she doesn't break up with him, then she will be happy and that works. If she does break up with him then she is still happy with her choice but he will get a chance. Just that the thought of hoping for William's misfortune flooded him with guilt. He talked himself out of it by saying William just didn't know how to take care of a girl. He ended at that because he had to keep his head in his matches.

Hours later in his dorm room

He just came back from his shower, he hated that sticky feeling after playing. After drying his hair his phone went off. He quickly picked it up

"Hey Yumi whats up?" he knew it was her because of the ring tone he gave her. He may sound obsessed but its easier, because if she calls then he doesn't have to take his phone out and look at the caller ID. Lucky for him Odd doesn't know about it or he would never hear the end of it.

"Hey Ulrich!" she sounded so unusually happy.

"What happened with William?" he knew he shouldn't have asked this, it might have been a sensitive subject but he was DYING to know.

"Oh, did Aelita already tell you about that?" her voice was surprised with a small hint of disappointment.

"Yea..." he didn't want to lie to her also it couldn't have been anyone else. "Are you mad at her for telling me?"

"No, I just wanted to tell you myself..."

"Why?" wasn't it the same? If Aeilta or Yumi told him it wouldn't make a difference right? Either way he is finding out.

"Well..." she seemed kind of hesitant about saying this, "when all this stuff was going on, you were there to help me. Since you always stayed up to talk to me, I thought that this was something I should have told you." he was completely stunned. He never expected something so deep from her. He wasn't saying she was shallow, she is just one of those people that take take things for granted. He was sure she appreciated his help but he never thought that it meant so much her. Just the thought of his opinion being valued by her made his heart flutter.

"Oh, thank you, it means a lot when you say that." he just remember that he was still on the phone with her.

"What did you say to him? Like what happened between you two?"

"I said stuff like, I really see you as a friend, sometimes you don't really consider how I feel, you are too touchy sometimes, and you want things planned out too much. Stuff along those lines." off course she sounded upset saying this but in a way she also felt relieved.

"Oh I see, well I'm sorry it didn't really work out" he really did feel guilty because he felt like he was one of the reasons they broke up.

"Why are you sorry? None of it was your fault."

"Well..." he was hesitating a little "I feel that you being around me caused William to become jealous. Because of the hugs and everything, I think I caused all this tension."

"Its not you, trust me. Its more him then anything else, he is just so sensitive that anything made him jealous. I realized that I don't really like William like that, I just don't feel happy around him anymore." those words caused happiness to erupt from deep inside him. Warmth invoked his guilty mind, he felt so relaxed.

"Thank you, I don't know why but talking to you always makes me feel better, also I missed you a lot..." hearing this made her face turn hot.

"Umm, thanks, I missed you too..." after this an awkward yet comfortable silence came between them. "OH YEAH! I forgot to tell you that I got you a shirt!"

"Really? But I told you not to get me anything..." which was true, deep down inside he was extremely grateful but being the macho guy he had to follow through with what he said.

"Its okay! I wanted to get you something!" she sounded so much like her old self again. Thats what he liked about her, no matter how awkward the situation is she is always able to make it normal again.

"Well how do you know the shirt fits me? You should try it on"

"What?! Why would I put your shirt on?!"

"Well we are roughly the same size right? So if it fits you then it should fit me, duh! You know this is why I call you a dork"

"HEY! I am not a dork! I'm a genius! Well I guess that makes sense, just let me put the phone down..." he heard some shuffling then "well I guess it fits but it makes me look like some gangster."

"Haha well all that matters is that it fits, right?"

"I guess...but now you have my COOTIES!! HAHA"

"WHAT?! EWW" and their playful argument continued on for hours, but it was getting late so they had to cut the conversation short.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow right?" he had set up this huge tennis meeting with everyone, since half of his tennis buddies went on this trip.

"Ya of course, see you tomorrow, good night and sweet dreams"

"You too"

He went to be right after. He was so happy about today's events that he fell asleep immediately. Right after Odd walked in.

"Hmm its not too often Ulrich sleeps with a smile. Well I'm sure this involves a certain Japanese girl. Time to check the tape recorder." To think that Odd would be smart enough to predict this. It must be obvious to everyone, except for the two that were already getting much closer then expected.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE. I know this chapter isnt the best but I'm going to Hawaii for a vacation and I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing, so try to enjoy this dull chapter, Thanks!!
