Chapter 5: Day Three: A Change in the Wind
Ulrich sat at a table by himself. None of his friends would sit with him.
Guess I can't blame them, Ulrich thought.
Suddenly someone blocked his vision of Odd mimicking someone and making Yumi and Aelita laugh.
I wonder what that's about? Ulrich thought before being blocked.
"Excu…" Ulrich started.
"I…I just brought you your breakfast," Sissi said nervously, "thought you might want some since you didn't join the line."
Ulrich watched Sissi. So ready to be with him. So ready to do anything with him.
"Can I sit at your table?" Ulrich asked, "it's sudden I know, but…"
"Who cares, come!" Sissi shouted.
Ulrich was seated at Sissi's table in milliseconds.
Sissi sat across from him smiling.
"Hey," Nicolas said from beside Ulrich.
Herve who sat beside Sissi frowned.
"Um, hey," Ulrich said.
"See," Sissi said to Herve, "Nicolas is getting along with him."
"Hmph," Herve said.
Sissi glared at Herve.
"It's okay Sissi," Ulrich said, "I've never been close with your group."
All three looked at Ulrich.
"You really are depressed," Herve said.
Sissi immediately hit him over the head.
"Oww," Herve whined.
Nicolas suddenly jumped up from their table.
Ulrich prepared to defend himself.
But then he saw Odd.
"Get away from here," Nicolas snarled.
Other students in the lunchroom looked at Nicolas in surprise. He wasn't usually violent (or violent looking).
Odd stepped up to Nicolas.
"I came to apologize," Odd said softly, "I said something I shouldn't have."
"No Odd, I'm sorry," Ulrich started.
"I'm sorry Sissi," Odd said then walked off.
The entire lunchroom was in utter shock.
Ulrich chuckled. Soon he was outright laughing.
Odd turned around.
"You know." Ulrich said laughing, "I have never understood why Sissi thinks you're cruel until now," he revealed, "you could've apologized to her at anytime," he said, "Nicolas wouldn't have stopped you if you told him you were sorry about hurting Sissi," he said, "but you wanted to hurt me because of what I said about you, Emily and Aelita," he said.
"Me!" Emily shouted.
"I apologize," Ulrich said, "I said something dumb because I was mad at Odd."
Emily who remained silent still looked upset.
"What about me?" Aelita asked.
"Aelita," Ulrich said honestly, "I think you're an idiot."
The lunchroom was completely appalled.
Yumi jumped to her feet.
But Aelita grabbed Yumi's hand. She herself knew that Ulrich was referring to the fact that she had chosen Odd over Jeremie.
"Do you know what's up with Odd?" Aelita asked.
Odd looked confused.
Ulrich understood.
At least until he realized she was talking about something he thought he alone knew (and Yumi suspected).
Ulrich's eyes widened.
"You think you know Odd by being his roommate?" Aelita asked, "try dating him."
"What's wrong with me?" Odd asked.
"You have to ask," Yumi said darkly.
"Shut it Yumi," Aelita said immediately.
"I wouldn't say that," Odd spoke up.
One look from Aelita silenced Odd.
"Do you know that there's a certain limit guys have?" Aelita asked, "in certain things," she said, "you Odd, have done everything to exceed that limit," she stated, "ever wondered why?"
Odd looked completely confused.
"You're a sex addict Odd," Aelita revealed.
Most of the lunchroom looked at him in shock.
Including Yumi.
"You're surprised?" Sissi asked.
Everyone else now looked at Sissi. Everyone else except Herve.
"I talked to Jeremie about it," Herve revealed, "I was concerned when Sissi told me about…"
Herve went silent.
"About what?" Ulrich asked.
Nicolas glared at Odd.
"Odd," Ulrich said turning to him.
"I came unto her okay!" Odd confessed.
The lunchroom went silent.
"What?" Aelita asked dangerously.
"I…," Odd started, "came unto Sissi."
"When?" Aelita demanded.
"Ninth grade, but we're in tenth grade and age fifteen now," Odd said, "it's in the past."
"You came unto Sissi," Aelita said like it didn't matter.
"It wasn't a bed of roses for me either," Sissi said angrily, "the first time he did it he scared me!" she cried.
"First time!" Aelita shouted.
"Sissi please…" Odd started.
"Oh no, I'm telling," Sissi interrupted, "the worst part about the first time was that…" she said but stopped.
"He succeeded?" Yumi asked hoping this was make believe.
"HELL NO!" Sissi screamed, "the worst part…he was good!" she revealed.
Some students in the lunchroom screamed.
"What?" Yumi asked not believing it.
"Yumi I spent my life before that day believing that girls who gave Odd the time of day were nuts," Sissi said, "but that day, despite not admitting it 'til now," she said, "made me realize that it was because he was good."
Yumi's eyes looked incredulously at Sissi, she herself praying that Sissi was joking.
Aelita looked at Odd as if only the bet and earth's gravity were preventing her from killing him.
Odd gulped.
"He's like the player with a thousand plans and a million hands," Sissi revealed, "no matter how many times you hit those hands away, they're always there, always."
"So he terrorised you with his hands?" Yumi asked amused.
"Har, har, he made fully sure to be whispering all those things in my ear with that sexy husky voice of his," Sissi continued, "I know it sounds dumb but his voice changes when he flirts."
"I've never heard it," Ulrich said since he witnessed quite a couple of Odd's flirtations.
Suddenly eighteen hands flew up. Three were guys.
"Can the hands be only of those who I've actually flirted with," Odd said loudly.
Two male hands went down.
"Jack that was an accident!" Odd shouted.
"Accident my ass!" Jack Landers shouted, "I spent more than ten minutes frozen in fear because I thought I was having words of sodomy whispered in my ear by a raspy voiced rapist."
"You thought Odd was a rapist?" Ulrich asked the wrestling junior amused.
"Trust me, that voice didn't sound like Odd," Jack said.
"How did he get in your room?" Ulrich asked.
"Fuck I know!" Jack shouted.
"Worse, why would Odd be there?" Ulrich questioned, "you're an only child."
Most students present now stared hard at Odd.
"A girl was sleeping over," Odd said defensively, "I…I went in the wrong room ok."
"You couldn't switch the light on?" Ulrich asked.
"The girl wanted everything done with the lights off," Jack said dryly, "I heard that stuff while he was whispering that sodomy crap," he explained, "except he used the word 'you' instead of her name," he continued, "I laid in bed thinking some crazy guy was whispering what I liked and what he was going to do to me!"
"I apologized when I realized it was you," Odd said immediately.
"Yeah when you leaned over and in the almost pitch black night barely made out my face," Jack said angrily.
"I'm sorry!" Odd cried.
"Go to hell!" Jack shouted and threw his tray at him, "talking rapist," he muttered.
Several students snickered.
There were still fifteen hands to account for.
"How many of you had sex with Odd after hearing that voice?" Sissi asked.
Ten hands quickly went down.
"How many of you are still virgins?" Sissi asked.
Only one hand waved.
"How many of the five of you lost your virginity to Odd?" Sissi asked.
One hand went higher than the others.
"Eleven out of fifteen girls lost their virginity with Odd," Sissi said.
"Ahem," Melanie Churchill the only one still a virgin spoke up, "some of the fifteen weren't virgins when they had sex with him," she revealed.
Sissi glared at the brown haired girl in a navy blue sailor dress.
"How many of the five, had sex with Odd, at all," Sissi added.
Three hands went up.
"Linda's gay," Odd accused the other person whose hand stayed down with Melanie's.
"No I'm not!" Linda Brian shouted, "I'm married, I told you that," the blonde snapped.
"Oh yeah," Odd recalled, "the Indian marriage."
"Jerk," Linda muttered.
"So the only girls who heard his musky voice and stayed a virgin or had no sex with him are Melanie, Linda, and I?" Sissi asked.
"Yes," Melanie agreed, "religion saved me," she said proudly.
"More like talking like a crazy person," Odd interjected.
""Hey when you came to me with that deep voice I thought you were possessed," Melanie defended, "I spoke tongues only when quoting scriptures and holding up my bible didn't work."
"You could've said no," Odd suggested.
"I shouted 'back demon', 'save this boy God', 'please spare me!'" Melanie shouted, "what did you think I was giving, a sexy prelude?"
"I don't know," Odd said honestly, "girls are into a lot of things."
Melanie grabbed her apple and flung it at him.
It made contact with his head.
"Ow!" Odd cried.
"Idiot," Melanie muttered.
What an ass whole, Yumi thought.
"So what happened?" Ulrich asked Sissi.
"Well the first time I ran," Sissi said, "but I got him good the second time," she said proudly.
Herve stifled a laugh.
Odd glared at him.
"Sissi beat him up with a book bag," Nicolas revealed.
The lunchroom broke out in laughter.
"That must've been some book bag."
"Pft, Sissi reads books?"
"It was our substitute science teacher Mr. Anthony Alverez's bag," Herve spoke.
The lunchroom went silent.
Mr. Anthony Alverez was a kick boxer who also taught science in the off-season. He was 6ft 5 and the books he taught from were often huge. His book bag filled with them, even worse.
"How the hell did you lift that?" Linda asked incredulously.
"Anger can make you do a lot of things," Nicolas commented.
"What are you, her commentator?" Odd demanded.
"The last thing you should talk about Odd is commenting," Ulrich spoke.
"What?" Odd asked as if he had done nothing wrong.
"Forget it Ulrich," Yumi spoke, "he'll never understand."
"So you're speaking to me again?" Ulrich asked.
"Not by a long shot," Yumi said darkly.
"Okay," Ulrich said simply, "call me when you forgive," he said and sat at Sissi's table.
Sissi squealed happily and hurried to sit Ulrich. Pushing Nicolas to the ground in the process.
"Uh, Ulrich," Odd started, "sitting with Sissi…"
"You know what," Ulrich said turning around, "I'm sick of this bet," he revealed, "in fact, if I win, I'm dumping Yumi," he revealed.
Yumi who was getting up to leave dropped her things.
"So if you want me," Ulrich said turning to her, "which you've proven so far that you don't unless I change to your specifications," he stated, "you better pedal it to win it," he told her.
Ulrich then turned around and got into a conversation with Sissi.
Yumi grabbed her things and walked out.
Aelita ran after her.
"Yumi wait…" Aelita started.
"This bet was the stupidest thing I've ever done," Yumi said tearfully and ran off.
Chapter Completed
Yes a few 'infractions' were made when it came to the rules of the bet, but let's just say all the revelations and craziness made them forget about it. Yes Dean is gone. My house is still standing and none of the household members blew away. Unfortunately two people in my country died, one was fourteen, so sad. Light came back around ten minutes to two in the morning yes 1:50 a.m. Sunday morning August 26, 2007. So today I haven't even had light back for twenty-four hours yet. JPS sucks. Telling people on the emergency hotline, 'Oh workers are deployed and will reach your area shortly. You should have light back shortly." That was TUESDAY! TUESDAY! Worse the representative lied on the radio, it was our Prime Minister who had to come on the radio later that day (Thursday) at night and tell us the real condition of process of bringing back electricity to our nation. That representative didn't even tell us that the area where I lived was having trouble with getting electricity back there. We had to hear it from the Prime Minister. JPS gives us electricity, we are NOT supposed to be getting more accurate (and actually true) information from the Prime Minister. The PM isn't an electrician nor a member of the JPS family (bunch of liars, telling us everything's going great), she isn't supposed to have to be showing them up. And they wonder why people don't trust them. Seriously. I won't even get started on water. It went even earlier than light last Sunday (August 19th) and isn't back yet. Not a drop.
Sorry about my little rant (but it made feel better). 55 reviews (54 earlier today), my biggest jump yet. Yes! I'm back baby! Maybe some of this will trickle over to 'She Can't Be Real'. Summer really proved a bust for reviews in some stories, but not for this story. It beat the reviewing rut for my stories. Well summer's nearly over and I have to update other stories this week. I hope this chapter was palatable and please review. Special thank you to all my reviewers, 22 reviews since my last update, wow.
