AN: This is a repost of this chapter. The reason for this is I changed it just a little bit. I added one line so the title fits. I'm disappointed in the small number of reviews! You can do better than that! Without reviews, I lose the will to write. Anyway, read, review, and enjoy!

"Quiet," Ulrich whispered forcefully as Odd entered the room. Ulrich nodded his head at his bed where Yumi was sleeping. Her slight body dented his dark blue covers. She laid on her left side with her face to the wall.

"How long has she been here?" Odd asked, sitting down on his bed beside Ulrich, who had spread his math book and papers on the blond boy's bed.

"About half an hour," Ulrich said, picking up his worksheet and trying to calculate the answer.

"So we're having a bit of a slumber party then," Odd said, pushing Ulrich's books to the side and laying down.

"Shhh," Ulrich whispered as Yumi rolled over to face them as if at Odd's last remark. "You'll wake her yet, loudmouth."

"Sorry," Odd whispered, pulling his gameboy out of his pocket and immersing himself in the game. Ulrich continued working on his math homework.

Around 6 p.m., the boys' stomachs began to rumble. Ulrich cleared the papers and books from Odd's bed and turned to face the blond haired boy.

"Do you think we should wake her up for supper?" Odd asked quietly, turning off his gameboy and sitting up.

Ulrich glanced at Yumi's tranquil expression and shook his head. "She looked really tired when she got here. We'll just let her sleep and bring her back something."

Odd nodded his agreement and slid off his bed. "Let's get going before they run out of pizza and start serving tofu burgers again," he said hungrily

"Ok, I'll be right there," Ulrich said quietly, standing up, "I'm just going to put away my stuff first." Unable to wait any longer, Odd left their room and made his way to the cafeteria. Ulrich got down on his knees and pushed the math materials under his bed. When he came back up, he found himself looking at Yumi's sleeping form. He watched her sleep for a moment, then stood up and moved to the door. As an afterthought, he grabbed the dark blue blanket from the foot of his bed and draped it gently over Yumi.

"Goodnight, Yumi," Ulrich whispered to the girl.

Once he was out of the room, he shut and locked the door carefully. The brown haired boy then went to the cafeteria to join his friend in supper.
