Chapter 3 : Types?/Hello There

Lol, I have my first review! :D That sure made my day, made me want to update. hahaha.

So here it is.. chapter 3.


Later that day...

Odd walked through the cafeteria doors. "Hello Odd~" Came the girls' usual greeting. "Why hello, my beautiful ladies." He greeted like always. The girls began to giggle and walk off to their normal tables to go and eat. He went up to the line and got his food and hurried to his seat with the gang.
"Odd, aren't you supposed to be taking some classes right now?" Yumi joked. He smirked and engulfed a whole meatball. "I'm shoore she wudnt mind eef ah ate fo just a couple minutsh." He said while gobbling it up, the others just stared at him incredulously.

"You sure about that?" Ulrich said looking out the window.

Outside was Aelita walking-- more like stomping furiously. She was pacing back and forth before she looked to the cafeteria.

"Oh, great..." Odd quickly swallowed his food and looked back at his friends. "What should I do?!" He looked around madly for someone or something to hide behind. "Gotta hide gotta hide gotta hide." "Well, do it fast." Jeremie said, though he wanted to see what was going to happen when Aelita would walk through the doors.

Just then, Odd suddenly ducked down and hid under their table, he got into a tight ball so none of his body parts would stick out of the table too much. "Genius, Odd, pure genius." Yumi said sarcastically while rolling her eyes. "Shhh! Not so loud..." Odd said loud enough so that his friends above could hear.

Aelita came in the door and searched the area with her eyes.
Not anyone with purple clothes... No one with purple blotched hair... No one making out with a girl...

She then recognized some people that she remembered Odd talking to.

Aelita made her way to Yumi, Ulrich, and Jeremie with a smile. "Umm... you three are Odd's friends right?"

Yumi looked at Ulrich and then at Jeremie who she could barely see at the corner of her eye "Yes that's right." She smiled and gave a kick to Odd who gave a muffled yelp. "and you're... Aelita, right?" Aelita nodded. "Well uh... he should be here any minute so... why don't you take a seat?" Yumi motioned towards the seat that Odd was previously in. Aelita reluctantly agreed and began to make her way towards the chair when Ulrich mouthed the words 'what are you doing?'. Yumi simply smiled and replied 'having fun.'

Odd's eyes grew large as he saw two pink shoes right in front of him. Aelita eyed the tray of food in front of her. "Who would leave food like this? It's perfectly untouched." There were still plenty of meatballs left, after all... Odd had only eaten one. "Uhh... it's for... me!" Ulrich gave a nervous grin. "But uh.. I'm getting pretty full so you can have it if you want..." "Er... sure, I'm getting hungry anyways." Aelita accepted the.. somewhat awkward offer and took the fork. Odd grimaced and quietly mumbled "There goes my lunch...".

When Aelita finished she put down the fork and wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Thank you for the food.. uh.." She looked up to the ceiling to remember their names; but nothing came to mind. "Oh that's right, we never introduced ourselves." "My name is Yumi Ishiyama." Yumi pointed to Ulrich, "He's Ulrich Stern." and then she pointed at Jeremie "and Mr. Quiet over there is Jeremie Belpois." Aelita chuckled at the expression Jeremie made when called "Mr. Quiet" and waved to all of them. "We've been Odd's friends since pre-school." Aelita nodded and looked down at her watch and sighed. "Where could Odd be by now?" As she was looking down she noticed her shoelace was untied. "Hang on a second."

She bent down to tie her shoelaces and instantly Odd began to shake. Aelita's eyebrow raised as she noticed some.. vibrating shoes? Yellow... moving... shoes.

Her eyes went wide.

...

"ODD!" she yelled.
"Uh... hi?" He chuckled nervously.

She immediately grabbed out and dragged him out of the lunchroom and towards the girls' dorms.


As they reached her room she glared at him and opened the door.

"Get in." she demanded. Following him into the room she turned around, sighed, and locked the door.
Remember Aelita, this is for a good cause, a lost cause maybe, but a good one nevertheless.

She turned her face into a calm expression and smiled at him.

He sat on her bed and looked around the room. Yellow walls, a computer and desk of course, a full-body mirror, bookshelf, radio, and light pink curtains around the window.

Aelita walked to her desk and grabbed a notebook and pencil. "I suggest you take notes." she said tossing them at him.

"First lesson," Aelita grabbed her computer chair and sat on it "Types."

"I know this already!" Odd held up his index finger. "There's hideous, ugly, decent: also known as okay, hot, and sexy." He smirked, "I can tell you which category you fit under."

Aelita closed her eyes, "No thanks, Odd." She spun herself around in her chair and turned so that her back was facing Odd.

"As I was saying, there are girls who have certain types of guys they like."

"Some like the quiet, reserved, and shy types." "Others like the wild and bad-boy types."

"There are some types such as the clingy guys as well, now most girls don't really like them for every girl needs some space."

"If you're not a certain girl's type, then she would mostly likely do two of three things. 1. Not even talk to you. 2. Avoid you. 3. Reject you."

"I guess every girl in Kadic has the same type then..." Odd quietly said to himself.

"You can't force yourself on a girl who thinks you're not their type." Aelita said sternly.

"F-force... yourself?" Odd stammered. "Don't even say it" Aelita sighed. "Hey have you even written anything on that notebook?" She asked while staring at Odd.

"Of course I have!"

Aelita walked over to him only to see the word "TYPES" underlined. She glared at him and sat back down.

"Now... if you try to force that girl to like you or date you, she'll most likely give you a slap, or pity, or anything else negative that we girls dare do."

"Like a kick where it hurts..." Odd grumbled.

"Exactly, but if the case is that you happen to be that girl's type, she'll most likely talk to you after you make your move on her."

"She'll be interested in knowing more about you, so then you have to play the right moves."
"...but that's another lesson." she smiled, then looked at her watch. "The bell's about to ring, we should get to class... it's time for math."

She made her way to the door but was stopped by Odd when he called her. "Hey wait Aelita!..."

He gave a devious smile. "Well uh, what's your type?" Aelita opened the door and looked back at him.
"Spontaneous and exciting." she replied and walked out the door, leaving Odd dumbfounded.
