Chapter 2

Yumi's POV

I looked around the cafeteria for a place to sit. I was thinking about sitting over by Emilie and the girls I normally hung out with, but I knew Ulrich would sit by Emilie and I didn't feel like arguing with him at the moment. I was too tired.

I went over and sat by Aelita who was sitting alone and was obviously waiting for Jeremie. Why she and Jeremie just didn't admit they had feelings for each other was beyond me. The two of them were the best of friends and both were extremely smart.

Now you may be thinking, why would I, Yumi, one of the most popular girls in school be hanging out with nerds like Jeremie and Aelita? Well, Jeremie and Aelita may be nerds but they are the nicest people I have ever met.

And, Aelita waspractically my roommate. My dorm room was next door to hers but we spent so much time in each other's dorms it felt like we shared a dorm.

"Hey Aelita," I said as I put my tray down across from her. Aelita smiled.

"Hi Yumi!" she said happily. Aelita was wearing a short white skirt with a few layers of ruffles and a plain pink t-shirt. I looked down to see her pink flip flops. Aelita had what I thought was an unnatural obsession over the color pink… I mean seriously, even her hair was pink!

I thought her hair was pretty though. It was short and curved into her face nicely. It was a little messy, but it worked for Aelita. Her hair looked bright and energetic, just like Aelita's personality. Her eyes were a vibrant emerald green.

"So, are you excited for the project Ms. Mayer assigned us that we have to do after break?" Aelita asked. My eyes widened.

"No! I mean, what happens if I get paired with someone like Herve?" I asked. I hated Ms. Mayer. She assigned us practically the worst project I have ever had. We had to partner up with someone in our class and work together to take care of a baby. Yes, a baby.

Well, a baby simulator actually, so it was more like an advanced type of doll that cried, needed to be fed, and needed to be changed. I know most kids would just throw their baby under their bed and then bring it to Ms. Mayer's class the day it was supposed to be returned, but Ms. Mayer was too smart for that. She had installed recorders into the baby so she would know how long it cried for and if we actually took care of it or not.

But I think the most cruel part of the assignment was that Ms. Mayer got to pair us up. I mean, what if she paired me up with Herve or Nicolas? Or worse… Ulrich!

"Don't worry Yumi, I'm sure Ms. Mayer will pair you with someone good. She likes you," Aelita told me. I knew it was true, Ms. Mayer did like me, so hopefully she would pair me with someone good.

"Aelita, aren't you at all worried that you'll be partnered with a complete idiot?" I asked. Aelita shrugged.

"Ms. Mayer normally sets me up with Jeremie for projects and I wouldn't mind taking care of a baby with him," Aelita said giggling. I rolled my eyes.

"Aelita, you're weird," I told her. Aelita smiled.

"I know," she responded. Two boys approached the table Aelita and I sat at. One was clad in a pair of purple pants, the left pants leg darker than the right, and a purple long sleeved top with a yellow shirt underneath. The yellow shirt stuck out at the bottom covering his midriff, at the sleeves, and a few inches below his skinny neck. His spiky blonde hair shot straight up in a Dragon Ball Z type of style. He had a small splotch of purple in his hair. He wore thick yellow shoes in an attempt to make him taller, but he was so short the shoes didn't affect his height much. He had a pair of hazel eyes and his mouth formed a huge grin as it almost always did.

The boy standing next to him had sparkling blue eyes behind his thick black glasses. He was wearing tan pants that only came down to about his ankles and a blue turtle neck sweater. His face had a look of seriousness to it.

"Hi Aelita," Jeremie said shyly as he sat down next to her. Aelita smiled at him. It was so obvious they liked each other… why don't they just get together already? Odd, who was apparently thinking the same thing as me, just looked at them shaking his head.

"Aelita, you're going to help me with chemistry over break right?" I asked. I currently had a B in chemistry, threatening to fall to a B- which was unacceptable to my dad. I could never remember all of those stupid chemistry formulas….

"Yeah," Aelita confirmed.

"You know Odd," Jeremie began causing Odd to look up from his tray full of food, "you could use some tutoring as well." Odd shrugged and swallowed a mouthful of food.

"Studying for school is no fun," he stated before continuing to eat. "Besides, I've got more important things to do," he explained grinning as he turned his head away from his food to give a group of girls a flirtatious wink. Jeremie rolled his eyes. Ulrich walked over and put his tray next to Odd's.

"Hey," he said in his 'cool' voice as he sat down.

"Hi Ulrich. You know Emilie wants you over there right?" Odd questioned. I looked over at Emilie who was trying to wave Ulrich over.

"I know, I just can't deal with her right now," Ulrich responded as he ran his fingers through his hair. I hated it when he did that… he only did that because he thought it looked hot. I guess it worked because girls around him would always swoon when he did that. It didn't matter how many times he did that around me, I would never swoon over him.

I hated him. All of the girls in our school adored him. They loved his messy brown hair that always fell on his face, covering up his right eye. They loved his warm brown eyes and his totally ripped tan body. But I hated it. I hated all of it.

Today he was wearing a pair of baggy dark green pants and a green t-shirt. He likes the color green too much…. I looked over at Odd who was gulping down all of Ulrich's food. I smiled. Odd likes food too much.

Ulrich's POV

"It's funny how a man only thinks about the (beep). You got a real big heart but I'm lookin' at your (beep). You got real big brains but I'm lookin' at your (beep). Girl there ain't no pain in me lookin' at your (beep)." I moaned and punched my loud alarm clock on my bedside table.

"I don't give a (beep), keep looking at my (beep). Cause it don't mean a thing if your looking at my (beep)," my alarm clock continued. I grabbed it and threw it across the room in frustration. It made a loud banging noise as it hit the wall and fell to the floor. The room was filled with silence. Damn… I was going to need to buy a new alarm clock.

I yawned and fell back asleep. A while later I woke up again. I sat up in bed and stretched. I walked across the room a little disoriented and picked up my cell phone from the floor. I flipped it open and checked the date. It was Friday, January 25, the first day of break. Oh, shit.

I looked over at the Odd's alarm clock. It was 9:50, which meant my dad was coming to get me in ten minutes. I suddenly was wide awake throwing all of my clothes off the floor and into my bag. I pulled on the first pair of pants I could find over my boxers and pulled a green t-shirt over my head.

I quickly brushed through my mess of brown hair. It was still sloppy, but I couldn't care less. I glanced at Odd's clock again. 10:05. I grabbed my bag full of my clothes and bolted out of the room and downstairs to the front of school.

I was relieved to find out my dad was late. Wait… my dad was always late. Why had I been panicking before? I threw my bag onto the ground in front of the school building with a sigh. I sat down next to my bag and leaned against the wall.

My eyelids felt heavy… I was so tired. Before I knew what was happening, sleep overcame me and I fell into a deep sleep.

I felt someone poking me.

"Just let me sleep Odd..." I mumbled sleepily. The person who was poking me laughed. Wait, that wasn't Odd's laugh! That was Yumi's laugh. I opened my eyes groggily to see Yumi standing in front of me. I yawned and looked around. I was still outside sitting up against the walls of Kadic.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Eleven," Yumi answered simply. I stood up and stretched.

"Why are you sleeping out here? Did Mr. Delmas finally decide to kick you out of school so you could go to a school full of retards like you?" she asked smirking. I glared at her.

"No you ass," I said nastily. I usually didn't swear, but if I was tired there was no way to stop me from swearing.

"I'm waiting for my dad," I informed her even though I know she didn't really care.

"I'm waiting for my mom," Yumi told me. I yawned. I really didn't feel like arguing with Yumi at the moment; I was too tired. I saw a crappy car pull up and I cursed under my breath. I did not want Yumi to meet my dad. As I picked up my bag she spoke.

"That's your car? Did your dad just go get that from the dump?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. I glowered at her.

Yumi's POV

A crappy looking car pulled up in front of me and Ulrich. The red paint was almost completely chipped off, the door facing us had a huge dent in it, the windshield was cracked, and the headlights and front of the car were smashed in. It was a terrible looking car. I was surprised when Ulrich grabbed his bag and began walking toward the car.

"That's your car? Did your dad just go get that from the dump?" I asked not believing that was Ulrich's dad's car. He turned and gave me an evil look.

"Get in," a nasty voice came from the car. I saw Ulrich wince from that voice. Ulrich reluctantly opened the back car door and threw his bag inside, climbing in after it. He shut the door and the car quickly drove away. I wondered if that had actually been Ulrich's dad… did Ulrich have an older brother or something?

I began thinking hard… had I ever seen Ulrich's parents? Had they ever gone to any of his soccer games? My thinking was interrupted when my mom's car pulled up. She rushed out of the car and hugged me.

"Hello Yumi," my mom said happily as she embraced me. I smiled.

"Hi mom," I said as I broke away from the hug. My mom began asking me questions about school as we go into the car. Man… it was going to be a long drive home….
