School is starting soon, so don't
expect that many more chapters. I have to get ready. Argh. Why the freak do we need a pocket dictionary? Thats the most retarded school supply I've ever heard..

Yumi felt all her strength sucked out of her. She dropped to her bed, feeling like she was dead.
She shut her eyes, feeling everything shut down. She opened her eyes, then walked over to the corner of her room and opened her suitcase. She took out her wireless laptop, and plopped down onto her bed, head on the pillow.
She opened her laptop, her eyes tearing up. Everything was going wrong.
So wrong.
Mixed emotions bubbled inside of her, yearning to burst. She held back tears. Her emotions were going haywire. She moaned, then waited for everything to load.
She went on Instant Messanger, and signed on.
OMGitsKRISTENxD:
YUMMMIII!
OHsoHARDCORE: Kristen!
Yumi smiled at her friend's cheerfulness.
She felt the tear in her heart stitch up a little. A friend. Just someone she needed.
OMGitsKRISTENxD: Yumii, what's up? Heard about Ulrich sneaking into the jet plane! You guys having funnn? xD
And with that, Yumi's heart fell again.
OHsoHARDCORE:
Actually… not at all…
OMGitsKRISTENxD:
…?
OHsoHARDCORE: We went to the spa, like with
Ulrich in a throw up bag…
OMGitsKRISTENxD: I don't know
whether to laugh or get sick.
OHsoHARDCORE: well, I threw
him into the bathroom and he got out of the bag and everything. And
then I was going to go get a massager, and then a second later I
freaking saw him flirting with another girl! And she was seducing him
to come to her place, and he said yes
OMGitsKRISTENxD: Yumi,
that CAN'T be Ulrich. Right?
OMGitsKRISTENxD: I mean, I
haven't known him for long, but he seems obsessed with
you.
OHsoHARDCORE: I thought he really loved me. I guess I
was wrong. And then I drove off without him, and I have NO idea where
he is right now… probably fxcking that stupid girl and I can't
care less!
OMGitsKRISTENxD: You DO care. Yumi, that isn't
something that Ulrich would do… He wouldn't go off and do
something like that. You should go back and find him.
OHsoHARDCORE:
And to make it worse, I can't find my knapsack! What if someone
stole it! And I do NOT care!
OMGitsKRISTENxD: Yes you do
Yumi! Go back there! And if you don't, you're just going to
regret it. You can sit there and wait and hope he'll find his way
back. But it's not like its going to make you happy, and you know
it.
OMGitsKRISTENxD: I know
you'll do the right thing. He'll come back. I'm really sorry
but I have to go now. I'm in Hong Kong and my dad is waiting for
me. We're going to a BBQ with my cousins and I have to get ready.
I'll call you later, okay?
OHsoHARDCORE: No, wait, Kristen!
OMGitsKRISTENxD: I'm really sorry I have to go!
I'll call you in like 5 minutes, promise, see ya!
OMGitsKRISTENxD has just signed off.
Yumi sighed and laid back. Her cell phone was in her knapsack, that was probably stolen.
Today was a horrible day. But she wasn't going to go back. As much as she wanted to, she was stubborn and had her pride. She wasn't going to be someone overly eager. That just wasn't Yumi ishiyama.
Someone knocked on the door, interrupting her train of thoughts.
"Come in!" Yumi shouted.
Gigi walked in, her long, dark black-brown hair swishing behind her. She looked almost like an angel. She was carrying a small puppy.
"Hey Gigi," Yumi smiled.
"Hello Yumi," Gigi grinned, talking with her sweet Japanese accent, "How are you? You seem down since you came back."
"Oh, no I'm fine."
Gigi set down the puppy and smiled. "Jazz makes everyone happy. I'm sure he'll get you feeling happy again."
"Jazz?"
"Yes, the puppy."
"Oh, I see."
"I hope you'll feel better." Gigi waved and shut the door. Jazz jumped up and licked Yumi's feet.
Yumi giggled, and held out her arms. Jazz jumped into her arms, yawning.
Holding Jazz sent a wave of peace to her heart.
Yumi laid back down and turned up the volume. She went to iTunes and blasted the song, "Cry" by Mandy Moore. It helped soothe her.
She thought about what Ulrich was doing, and stomped on the image of Ulrich and the girl doing who-knew-what.
Listening to the soothing voice of Mandy Moore, she felt her heart melt away to the words.
-
"No."
His answer didn't very much surprise her.
"What do you mean, no." Paulina crossed her arms haughtily.
"I meant no." he mocked her position.
"Don't you want a ride home to your sweetie?" she mocked back.
Ulrich paused to glare at her, then ran into the spa.
"Hmph. Baby." Paulina rolled her eyes.
Ulrich pushed past people, and ran into the bathroom. His head hurt more than anything. He needed to get away. The bathroom was empty.
Good.
He washed his face, splashing freezing cold water onto his confused, flustered face. He felt sort of torn up, thrown away.
He went to the blow dryer to dry his hair, face, and hands. He had to go back outside and kiss Paulina.
He hoped to die before that
ever happened.
RING! RING!
… Was someone in here?
He checked all the stalls, but no one was there.
Following the sound, he found the throw up bag he had hid in. Inside was Yumi's knapsack.
"Oh my god!" he almost shrieked. His way home!
He flipped open the Razor and yelled, "PLEASE COME SAVE ME!"
"… YUMI?" Kristen's flustered voice came out of the phone.
"No, no this is Ulrich!" he babbled happily. "I found her knapsack in the men's bathroom in the throw up bag! She's so mad at me, I don't know what to do, and this stupid girl Paulina had a car and blah and she was going to try to bring me back to Yumi's but we have no idea where she is, and then I found this cell so-"
"Ulrich. ULRICH!" Kristen screamed. "SHUT UP! Was Paulina the girl seducing you? How could you!"
"No I thought she was Yumi!"
"A likely story, but I'll buy it," she sighed. "My dad's waiting for me but I'll open Instant Messanger and ask her for her home number anyway, okay?"
"YES, YES THANK YOU!" Ulrich grinned. "I'M GOING TO BE SAVED! Not a hobo!"
"… Right." Kristen started typing quickly and in a minute, she said, "Okay, I got it."
She hastily told Ulrich the number, then advised him before she hung up, "She's really, really upset. So be sensitive."
Ulrich happily copied down the number and called Yumi. Yumi picked up. "Hello?"
"YUMI, it's Ulrich!"
"… Ulrich! Why are you calling from my cell phone! You stole my knapsack? You stabbed me in the back, and now I find out you're a thief?"
"No, Yumi! It was in the throw up bag!"
"Psh, likely story."
"No, seriously."
"… Okay, fine."
"Yumi, please I'm sorry, I thought she was you!"
"Likely story, AGAIN. I've known you for years and you mistake HER for ME?"
"But Yumi!"
"What, Ulrich."
"Can you come pick me up?"
"If you really loved me, I'm sure you would go through the struggle to come to my house."
"Can't you at least give me your address? Please? I don't want to end up as a hobo!"
"… I'm on Cherry Lane, okay? That's all I'm going to tell you."
"… Okay. I love you."
He felt a smile on the other end. "Just come back already."
"I'll try."
And with that, they both hung up. Ulrich sighed. Now he had to get back. He hauled the knapsack over his shoulder and walked out.
"Finally, you baby!" Paulina groaned, getting out of the car. "Now where's my kiss?"
"I'll give it to you later, okay?"
"You better," she huffed. "No one can ever resist Paulina!"
Ulrich rolled his eyes.
She huffed again and went into the car. Ulrich opened the door and slid in. Paulina started the car and they were off.
Ulrich ransacked the knapsack and found Yumi's iPod and turned it on.
Music. Anything was better than listening to Paulina's nauseating voice.
-
Kristen hung up the phone.
Ulrich was sometimes such a dense boy. Sweet. But sometimes dense. Probably comes from being friends with Odd for so long..
"KRISTEN!" she heard her dad yell.
"COMING, DADDY." She hollered back. She quickly changed and brushed her hair, putting on big silver hoop earrings. She burst out of her room and went to the living room, where she found her dad watching Chinese soap operas.
Kristen sat down on the sofa, playing with a Ding Dong plushie abandoned on the couch as she watched the guy cut the cake with his new wife. Then a pretty lady came in, and the guy gasped. The show ended.
"… What was that?" Kristen gaped. "What a stupid ending."
"No, that was his girlfriend," her father explained, turning off the TV.
"… So he's cheating!"
"Yes."
"Ew."
"Faster," he ushered her out the door and came out. He locked the door, and the two bounded off towards the elevator.
"Where's Mom and Justin?" Kristen asked.
"Already there."
"What!"
"Well, you were so slow," he sighed, exasperated.
"… Ugh."
They went down the elevator and out the apartment. They found her dad's sports car after a moment, and drove off.
They arrived at the barbeque in about 20 minutes, everyone already there. Kristen jumped out of the car and ran to hug Regina, her cousin.
"Regina!" she cried.
"Hey, little sister." She answered, smiling.
"Congratulations!" Kristen grinned.
"Thanks!"
"No problem."
"I'm going to go find Patrick now. Go enjoy yourself." Regina rushed off.
Kristen smiled hastily and quickly sat down on a random chair and flipped opened her Razor. She found a text message.
She opened it excitedly and scanned it, her mouth dropping.
K-
You're not gonna believe it. THE RETARDS ESCAPED!

A/N: No, I don't even own Jazz. She's my friend, Steph's dog. He's more hyper than I put him in the story.. and yes, he does have a role in the story :D
And yeah, the Chinese soap opera thing was true, as in, the show is real. And no, Kristen's parents aren't divorced, her dad just works in Hong Kong.
Also, Chinese cousins refer to their cousins
sometimes as their siblings. Like, little sister, little brother, big
brother, big sister, but in Chinese so it doesn't sound that
awkward. x.x And next time I'm going to write down how the chinese words sound in english. They don't really have any, so I'm going to just go with the best translation I can muster. For you who are Cantonese, it will seriously suck.
I know, the ending was really rushed. I've been sucked out of my writing power. Rawr.
Anyway, review!
