Just thought I'd let you know.

DISCLAIMER - me no owners of Code Lyoko kay-o? I'm just a huge fan and watch season 3 on Youtube. hehe.

It was from that day on that Yumi and Argent became close friends.

It turned out that ever since they had been old enough to walk and talk, Argent had had a crush on Odd. Over the years, that slowly developed into a deep love for the boy.

She and Yumi weren't that different either, they listened to the same kinds of music, and enjoyed doing the same things - like Yumi, Argent loved to sing.

"So...why do you put up with the others?" Yumi asked Argent whilst they were walking around campus during free period.

"Well, I like to be in control of things - always at the head of the game, y'know, and, being with them makes that easy, 'cause they're so stupid. They give me the control factor that I can't get from Odd." Argent seemed to wander off into her dreamland.

Yumi smiled, she could almost relate to Argemt - her minor crush on Ulrich had turned slightly into a major one, but she didn't dare tell him - he always rejected offers from other girls, who were far more prettier than her, and that meant she would get the knockback too. No. She decided it was better to be friends with him than nothing at all.

"Well, I've gotta go Yumi," Argent snapped them both out of their thoughts, "I use free period for volleyball practice, see ya!" Argent sped off down the corridor towards the gymnasium.

"Bye!" Yumi waved her friend off, and decided to go outside and enjoy the end of summer weather while it was still there.

'This is the life...' she thought as she sprawled out on the grass gazing up at the fluffy white clouds in the azure blue sky above her head.

"Hey there."

"Huh?" Yumi sat up and found Ulrich leaning against a nearby tree.

"Hey!" Yumi smiled, sitting up.

Ulrich sat down on the grass next to her, "How come you're all alone out here?"

"Argent went to Volleyball practice, and I can't stand being around Sissi or Milly without her." Yumi explained.

"Oh. Well, I was hoping to talk to you alone anyway." Ulrich said.

"Why? Is something wrong?" Yumi felt concern for him.

"No, actually, " he laughed, "Something is really right."

"What's that then?" Yumi quizzed confusedly.

"You, Yumi. I, really like you - that's why I've been turning all those other girls down, because I've been trying to find the right moment to tell you." Ulrich blushed and glared at his feet.

"Um," Yumi placed a hand on top of his, " I really like you too Ulrich."

"Oh." Ulrich blushed again, when he looked up, he hadn't meant to be this close to her face.

Too late. He was already kissing Yumi.

---------------------------------------------

Half an hour later, Yumi was sitting in music class, still feeling Ulrich's lips on hers. She hadn't told anyone...yet.

"Okay guys! Instrumental practice today! I'll be up in the base room if you need me." Mrs Mathieson walked out the door.

"Um, Kiera?" Yumi nervously walked over to the brunette playing the piano.

"Yeah?" Keira was always oblivious to the world outside of her playing.

"Could you play for me so I can sing?" Yumi asked her shakily, scared of her own confidence.

"Sure! I know just the piece! Oh! But it needs a male part...let's see..." She scanned the room with her hazel eyes, "Um, William? Could you come and sing for a second?"

The boy playing guitar over in the corner pushed his longish black hair out of his eyes, "Sure, why not?" he put the guitar down and sauntered over to the piano.

"Okay, here's the music - you know it?" Kiera handed the sheets out.

Yumi took a look at the sheets and froze. Yeah. She knew this song alright. It was 'As Long As You're Mine' from 'Wicked', only, she always imagined singing it with Ulrich...not William Dunbar.

"I know it- do you Yumi?" Willaim nudged her.

"Yeah, I do." she nodded.

"Okay then!" Kiera began playing.

"Kiss me too fiercely, hold me too tight. I need help believing, you're with me tonight. My wildest dreamings, could not forsee, lying beside you, with you wanting me. And just for this moment, as long as you're mine. I've lost all resistance, and crossed some borderline, and if it turns out. It's over too fast, I'll make every last moment last, as long as you're mine." she glanced at William and saw him admiring her.

"Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise, but you've got me seeing though different eyes. Somehow, I've fallen under your spell, and somehow I'm feeling, it's up that I fell." William grinned at her.

Yumi gasped, this guy was a good singer. A really good singer.

"Just for this moment, as long as you're mine. I'll wake up my body, and make up for los-"

BRRRING!

Kiera stopped playing, "Okay guys, lunchtime! See ya tomorrow!"

Once she had gone, William turned to Yumi, "I really enjoyed that."

"Oh, cool." Yumi packed her music into her backpack.

"Hey, listen Yumi," William stopped her as she was about to leave the room.

"Yeah?"

"Well, I know this is kinda sudden and all, but...would you come with me to Theo's party on Friday night?" he asked casually, flicking a stray hair from his eye.

"Oh! Um, I'm really sorry William...I'm kinda going out with someone just now so..." Yumi avoided his gaze.

"Can you at least tell me who?" he asked.

"Um, it's Ulrich, Ulrich Stern." She said awkwardly. The happy knot in her stomach tightened though, she was really going out with him!

"Oh." William looked angry for a brief moment - then smiled, "I guess I'll just have to find someone else."

"Yeah - and again William, I'm really sorry." Yumi left him standing alone in the corridor.

Once she was well out of sight he whispered softly, "You will be."

A/N - hehe, did you like my reference to Theo? Dear God i'm cool. :P . anyway, this is moi signing out again, please leave a review if you feel you need to. Flames will be used to fuel my creative flow! Gracias!
