Delerobia?

Fifteen hours later Ulrich was in his new room. It was smaller than the one he had shared with Odd. A boy walked in followed by a girl.

"Hi, my name's Ulrich."

"Mine's Brent and this is Emily Smith." Brent introduced. Emily had long red hair, wore glasses and was medium height.

She was pretty.

But not as pretty as Yumi. Ulrich thought.

"Brent is getting some money for the soda machine." Emily said. "You want to join me?"

"Isn't Brent going with you?"

"We're not friends; he just owed me for lending him money." Emily explained.

"Okay, sure. I'll join you."

After Emily and he where outside did Ulrich start asking questions.

"Where are all your friends?"

Emily's face darkened, "I haven't had any since elementary school. What about you?"

"I had four great friends: Yumi, Jeremy, Alieta and Odd."

Emily spit out the soda she had been drinking.

"Delarobia"!
