Ulrich got out of the car and put his hands into his pockets. He looked at the ground as he walked to his dorm room. He unlocked his door and hears a voice.
"Ulrich dear, will you help me with my homework?" Sissi asked.
"Hey Ulrich, where have you been?" Odd said as he came up to Ulrich. "It looks like you saw Yumi and William kissing."
"Sissi leave me alone and Odd shut up."
He walks in his dorm and Odd and Sissi just stood their in confusion. Ulrich locked the door and starts to cry as tears flow down his face to his blankets. Yumi then came to them.
"What just happened, Sissi?" She asked
"Ulrich told her to leave him alone and me to shut up." Odd said. "He never acts like this, not even when he saw you and William kiss."
"Shut up Odd. I didn't ask you." Yumi said.
Odd went into his room and Ulrich was asleep facing the wall with his shoes still on. Ulrich was on top of the blankets.
The next morning Odd woke up to find Ulrich wasn't there. It is still dark outside and Odd went to look for Ulrich. Ulrich is standing outside in the cold without a jacket.
"Ulrich what are you doing up this early on a Sunday?" Odd asked.
"I'm not tired, Odd. So leave me alone."
"I'm going back to sleep, bye."
Every one else is waking up and Ulrich is still standing in the cold. Teens were heading to the cafeteria as it started to snow. Ulrich just lets the snow hits his muscular body and the other students are staring at him. They went into the cafeteria and start to eat breakfast. Ulrich went into the cafeteria and got a cup of hot chocolate.
"Hey Ulrich, were you building a snowman or did you just get pumbled by tons of snowballs." Odd said. Ulrich just sat there and said nothing as he drank his hot chocolate.
"I was only kidding with you Ulrich." Odd said as he put his hand on Ulrich's shoulder. Ulrich gave him a death glare and Odd took his hand off him. Ulrich just stared at the table, while Aelita and Jeremie came up.
"Ulrich, why do you look so depressed?" Aelita asked. "Did you see Yumi and William kissing?"
"Don't talk to Ulrich; he's in a bad mood." Odd said. "He even threatened me when I made a joke about him."
"No, I did not see them kiss again and that is not the reason I am depressed. So leave me alone." Ulrich said.
"We better leave him alone." Odd said. "He stood outside when it was still dark out and I don't know how long he was out there."
"Ulrich how long were you standing outside while it snow?" Jeremie asked.
"Since 5:00." as he picked up his hot chocolate.
It is in the middle of December now and Ulrich is still very depressed. It was breakfast time.
"Man, Ulrich is still depressed from what ever happened to him." Odd said. "Maybe we can cheer him up or force it out of him."
"Odd that might be your only good idea ever." Jeremie said.
"Really, thanks." Odd said.
Ulrich was sitting on the bench watching everything around him.
"What is the matter Ulrich? You've been depressed ever since I saw you the day after Thanksgiving." Odd asked
"Shut up Odd and leave me alone." Ulrich said not looking at him. Odd then noticed Jeremie and Aelita kissing.
"Hey Jeremie, are trying to suck her face off or are you looking for something?" Jeremie hold up his middle finger and broke the kiss.
"So what did he say, Odd?" Aelita asked.
"Well the same: 'Shut up and leave me alone.'"
"Okay, we'll try to say what the matter is." Aelita and Jeremie walk over to him and the same thing happens. Jeremie then walked away.
"Ulrich why are you depressed? Is it because you missed your chance with Yumi? Just tell what the matter, please." Aelita said
"Nothing, I'm fine. So leave now."
"I know something is wrong because you haven't been eating and you just sit outside in the cold."
"I said nothing is wrong." Ulrich yelled at her. Ulrich got up and went into the dorms area. Ulrich unlocked his door, went in, shut the door behind him, and locked it so no one can get in.
"Why me? Why do I have to get this of all people? Sometimes I wish I was dead and this would be over but I don't want kill myself." Tears were coming down his face as he thought about his life.
He took out his diary and starts to write everything going on his life. After he is done writing, Ulrich head for the showers. He gets in the showers and lets the steaming hot water pour on his soft flesh. Ulrich starts to cry again as he thought about Yumi. He finished his shower and went back to his room. He wobbles down the hall. Ulrich gets to his dorm, opens the door, lies in his bed facing the wall, and falls asleep.
It was a week before Christmas and every one is talking about there Christmas break. Yumi broke up with William. Ulrich is sitting, drinking hot chocolate.
"Hey Ulrich, what are you doing for Christmas?" William asked.
"Nothing." Ulrich said coldly.
"What do you mean nothing?"
"I said nothing. I don't care about Christmas anymore." Ulrich cut him off.
"What? Everyone loves Christmas, so why not you?" William asked.
"Leave me alone."
"Why don't you care, Ulrich?" Asked Jeremie and Aelita.
"Yeah, why?" The kept on asking Ulrich why doesn't he care.
"Just leave me alone." He said.
"Well, we don't want you to pose for a magazine." Odd joked.
"Shut up."Everyone but Ulrich said.
"Do you realize if it wasn't the holidays, you would be dead, Odd." Ulrich said.
"Ulrich has a heart." Odd yells. Ulrich didn't say anything to him.
"Tell us why you don't care." William said. Ulrich got annoyed and screams so that every one could here him.
"I said leave me alone!" Ulrich got up and left as everyone stop talking and looked at Ulrich.
"Ulrich is depressed now." Odd said. "Let's see if we can comfort him."
"There is only one person who can comfort him but I'm not sure she wants to." Jeremie said.
"Who?" Odd and Aelita asked at the same time.
"Yumi."
Ulrich unlocks his door and goes inside his room and stays there with the door locked. A few hours pass and knocks kept Ulrich awake as they tried to talk to him; he didn't reply to any of them. Odd came back after a little and told them to go away. They went away and he opened the door up and went in.
"Odd, don't say anything to me." Ulrich said. Ulrich face the wall and starts to cry.
There was another knock on the door and Odd open the door. Jeremie, Aelita, and Yolanda were standing at the door.
"Odd we were on our way here and Yolanda wanted to check on Ulrich. She heard what happen in the cafeteria." said Jeremie.
"Tell Ulrich if needs anything he sees me, okay?" Yolanda said.
"Okay." Odd said. Yolanda left and Jeremie and Aelita walk into Odd's dorm. They saw Ulrich crying while facing the wall. They all sat on his bed trying to comfort his but nothing seems to work. Ulrich finally fell asleep after a while and everything was peaceful.
"Man I feel sorry for him." Odd whispered. They all agreed. Out of nowhere there came a loud banging at the door. Odd quickly open the door up and saw Sissi standing in the doorway.
"I want to see Ulrich now." Sissi demanded.
"You can't because he is asleep in bed." Jeremie said.
"No I don't care if is asleep I want to see him." Sissi protested.
"No and that is my finally decision." Odd said and shut the door. She kept on banging on the door which was disturbing Ulrich.
"Who is banging at the door?" He asked waking up.
"One word, Ulrich: Sissi." Jeremie said. Ulrich cried himself back to sleep and the banging continued. Eventually, Sissi got tried of banging and left in anger.
