Chapter 6
Ulrich's POV
The picture Odd and I took was handed around on newspapers and discussed about constantly the next day. In fact, pretty much the entire weekend was all making fun of Jeremie and Herve. I felt kind of bad for a minute, but then again, Odd and I wouldn't have done it if Jeremie wasn't going for the gangster look. So, technically it was Jeremie's fault Aelita was completely avoiding him and everyone was making fun of him.
Currently, it was a Sunday morning, and I was running through the chilly fog. Autumn was just coming to an end, meaning winter would come. Great... three months of icy cold weather… with little or no snow. Being warm, I didn't mind too much, but the cold got to me.
So, on this brisk morning in late November, I was running around the Kadic Academy track. It didn't matter what the weather was, soccer was soon to be in session, and I had to be ready for it. I noticed distantly from my end of the track, a trio of familiar looking girls starting their run. I pushed myself to run faster to catch up to them, hoping they wouldn't notice me suddenly behind them.
As I got closer, I could see each of them, Aelita, Yumi's cousin Melanie, and Yumi all running just a couple yards in front of me, no doubt talking about girly things.
To be honest, I wasn't completely surprised they were all out running. I knew Yumi and Aelita were on the track team and, judging by Melanie's running, she probably was joining track too. In addition to being in track, Yumi was on the girl's soccer team and Aelita was an amazing gymnast. Both of them were pretty good athletes.
"Hey Ulrich," Aelita said in from in front of me. God, that girl must have eyes in the back of her head, because she didn't even need to turn to look at me to know I was there. I pulled up in the middle of them, putting myself between Aelita and Melanie, Yumi running at Aelita's other side.
"Hello lovely ladies," I said flirtatiously then, glancing at Yumi, I said, "and not so lovely lady…." Yumi reached over behind Aelita and smacked me in the back of the head. I rubbed my head groaning slightly. I had to admit, when Yumi hit, slapped, kicked, or punched, it actually did hurt.
"So Ulrich," Aelita began, "Why are you actually up?" I shrugged, thankful for Aelita's change of topic. "I needed some running practice." And some flirting practice wouldn't be bad either… I added silently to myself, looking over at Melanie.
"Melanie-" I began but Yumi interrupted me. "So Ulrich, Emily dumped you?" I saw Melanie look over at me curiously and winced inwardly. Talking about my ex-girlfriend dumping me wasn't exactly a good thing to talk about in front of my future girlfriend….
"No, actually, I dumped her." I lied. Honestly, I didn't dump many girls, unless if they got really annoying. I preferred to make girls mad enough to dump me. Much more fun.
"Sorry I didn't know," Yumi said in a sarcastic tone, "I thought that might've happened since, you know, Heidi totally dumped you." I felt my face flush with anger and embarrassment. Heidi had completely dumped me, in front of… pretty much the entire student body.
"That was a while ago," I said. Yumi snorted. "Yeah, if you call the end of summer a while ago." Melanie, who ran beside me, giggled and flipped her hair back from in front of face, her shiny black hair reflecting the beams of sunlight from above us. Man I wanted her.
"For you're information," I began, "I am an entirely different person since then." It wasn't completely true, but I was running out of ideas and I needed to take a shower and meet up with everyone else at the café. I was already going to be late. Aelita laughed beside me, her pink pony tail bouncing up and down with the movement of her legs. "How are you different?"
"I am more manly." I puffed out my chest, doing my best to look impressive. I'm not sure if the three girls noticed the joking tone in my voice, but they all stopped running and burst out laughing. "You know you want some!" I shouted over my shoulder as I continued my run off the track field.

I arrived at the café, noticing everyone crowding around Odd in the corner of room. A burst of chatter and noise came from Odd's table. "Um… what's going on?" I questioned as I approached. I pushed my way through the small crowd to where Odd was sitting at the table.
He had spread out on the table cards with pictures on them. His grin was enormous, I don't think I had ever seen him so excited for something. "Ready for a night out?" he asked slyly, handing me a card. I looked down at the card and my eyes widened.
It was a fake ID card.
I could feel my face lighten considerably. I ignored the people around me rushing to get their fake IDs, looking down at the ID in my hand. Oh yes… tonight was going to be a night for partying.

The beat of the music pounded through my body, pounded through my heart, even pounded through my mind. I could feel myself nearly shaking in excitement as Odd, Theo, Michael, Matt, Ryan, Chris, Cameron, William, Aelita, Melanie, Yumi, Noemie, Heidi, Courtney, Jamie, Chelsea, and a number of other people from our grade entered the bar.
The bar filled with bursts of multicolored light, coming from the elevated area the DJ made his music at. Tons of college students danced in a tight bundle in front of the DJ, the dance floor being quite large. On the opposite end of the building, hearty laughter came from drunken men sitting at the gigantically long bar.
I couldn't believe Odd had gotten us in here with those fake ideas. Who knew he was actually doing something worthwhile on the internet?
The group of us split up, Odd, Theo, some of the other soccer guys, and I immediately heading for the bar to find out who could drink down the most shots, and the rest of the group going to the other side of the bar to order some less intense alcoholic drinks.
The moment I sat down next to Odd on one of the bar stools, he pulled out his fake ID, showing it to the bartender. "I bet you anything Ulrich I can drink more shots than you," he challenged. The soccer guys crowded around me and Odd, eager to hear my response.
"I'll take that bet." A roar of cheers came from the people around us. I pulled out my ID, placing it on the table along with a wad of cash. The bartender didn't even bother checking our fake IDs, pulling out a number of shot cups as he began filling them.
Odd gulped down the first shot, his eyes bulging at the intensity of the flavor, slamming the cup back onto the bar counter. I repeated him, getting a number of cheers from the crowd.

Yumi's POV
Aelita, Melanie, and I sat at our own end of the bar, drinking down our alcoholic beverages. I looked at the few dusty glasses beside Aelita, thinking Damn that girl can drink! Although honestly, Melanie and I had already drunken nearly as much as Aelita.
I looked over at the opposite end of the room, seeing everyone had gone to the dance floor. The shot contests had finished a little while ago, when Theo had thrown up 4 times because of drinking so much. Wow, there's no way we'll get caught drunk when we go back to Kadic.
I looked over at the rest of the dancers, feeling music pump through my body vibrantly. I grinned widely over at Aelita and Melanie. "Let's dance!" I shouted, getting up. I stumbled as I stood up, the effect of being drunk taking over me I suppose. Not that it really mattered though, we were going to dance!
Melanie and Aelita followed me to the dance floor, Melanie stumbling slightly as she walked like me. Aelita just couldn't walk in a straight line. Aelita spotted Odd dancing with Jamie and, being as drunk as she was, she sort of skipped/ limped over to Odd, immediately throwing herself on him, causing him to laugh.
It didn't take long for Melanie to be swept up by Theo and a mass of other guys, some of them even college guys. She seemed to enjoy herself… but then again, she was drunk and a huge crowd of guys around her were grinding her. What more can you ask for while being drunk?
It wasn't long before William sought me out. He pulled me against him, beginning to dance with me. I didn't resist, I actually didn't care who I was dancing with. I just wanted to dance with someone.
Not long after dancing with him, he suddenly began to sway uncontrollably. "Yumi," he said faintly, "I think I'm gonna-" but before he could finished, he passed out on the floor. I shrugged, stepping over him to the middle of the dance floor. People kicked him as they danced around him, but I didn't really care. I just wanted to dance.
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled into another body. I turned around, finding myself face to face with Ulrich. Now, normally, I would've just shoved him aside, but with the both of us being drunk, it didn't matter. Normally, he was stupid, big-headed, jerk, but now, he was hot.
He was irresistible.
I found the front of his body rolling against mine, each beat of the music bringing him closer to me. I didn't feel like leaving him… I didn't want to leave him… he was a good dancer.
My heart was beating out of my chest, my head airy and wild. Ulrich and I were dancing so close, I could've sworn I could feel his heartbeat. I could feel his hot breath against my face, see tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. He closed his eyes, his lips approaching mine, coming closer… and closer….
Something seemed to trigger in my brain, some sane part of me still knowing the right thing to do. I put my finger on his lips, whispering, "Sorry, Ulrich, but I'm not that drunk yet," into his ear.
And as I left him, feeling his eyes on my back as I walked away, I wondered if that truly had been the right thing to do… because I know that somewhere deep in me… I wanted that kiss.
