AN: What lucky people you are! Since I was so terribly mean to you by giving you yet another cliffhanger, I decided to post another chapter. Before I get to your next chapter, I'll address a few reviews.

Ulrich's girl: Whoa, calm down! Everything'll be answered in due time. For now, this should keep you from dying of anticipation.
Animegirl16: I'm sure it's still safe to go to camp... It's the people at camp, not the place itself that's doing this. "Stupid Ari" wants to let you know that she resents being called stupid and the very thought that she would team up with the likes of Theo, Dirk, Clayton, XANA, and the others. She wanted me to tell you that. :P
Wind91Rider: You're right, that was another transition chapter, but it also served the purpose of showing the staff's thoughts and giving them a bit more of a human personality. The good stuff is coming, trust me!
Warior: Uh oh, wouldn't want you boycotting my fic.. At least read this chapter before you decide to boycott it, ok? You might change your mind.

Ok, that's about it for now. I've had quite the time reading your reviews and getting feedback, mainly people telling me I'd better not let Jeremy die or that I'd better update soon or I'll get "keeled" (courtesy of Star Way). So, before I get "keeled," here's your next chapter! As always, read, review, and enjoy!

"Tell me again how you found him," Principal Delmas said, seating himself across from the shaken physics teacher.

"H-he was on his back under the bed. His right hand was sticking out from under the bed, and his left rested on his chest, clenched. When I pulled him out, I opened his hand and this leaf was inside it." At this point, Mrs. Hertz handed Principal Delmas the dried, tiny, saw-edged leaf that looked as if it might crumble at any moment.

"Do you know which plant it belongs to?" Principal Delmas asked, holding it delicately.

"I'm not sure, but I can check when I get back to my classroom. Ari's in there now, I left her in charge."

"You may go back to your class now, Suzanne, and you might want to find yourself another student teacher until Jeremy is up and about again."

"How is he?"

Principal Delmas leaned back in his chair and relaxed a bit. "He will be fine, just a bump on his head and a few bruises. For all we know, he could have fallen out of bed and rolled under it. He's still unconscious so Dorothy is watching over him in the sick bay." He twirled the leaf stem in his fingers carefully, spinning the leaf. "That still does not explain this, though."

"Maybe once we know what it is we'll understand." Mrs. Hertz stood, taking the dried leaf gently from him.

"You can read the rest of the time," Yumi said setting the pile of finished assignments on her desk. Sitting down wearily at her desk, she pulled a stack of papers closer and started correcting them. Her mind was not on the assignment, though; it was on Jeremy. What happened? Where is he? Is he ok? A small wave of fear passed through her as she remembered how angry Theo had been the night before.

The door to the classroom opened, breaking her out of her thoughts for the moment. Mr. Hyonin closed the door quietly behind him and walked over to Yumi.

"Did you find him?" Yumi whispered, wanting to know, yet dreading the answer.

"Yes, and he's fine. Unconscious, but fine," Mr. Hyonin replied.

"May I go see him?"

"Go ahead, I'll watch the class for the rest of the period."

"Thank you, sir." Yumi's chair scraped on the wooden floor as she pushed it back hurriedly. Within moments, she was in the infirmary. Yumi rushed to Jeremy's side, brushing past the nurse in her haste. She breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed he seemed to be sleeping calmly. His blond hair was tousled and a faint scratch was noticeable on his right cheek.

"Yumi, what are you doing here?" Nurse Dorothy asked.

"Mr. Hyonin said they found Jeremy, and I was worried so I came to see how he was doing. Can I stay with him for a little while?" Yumi looked at the nurse hopefully and was rewarded with a small smile from Dorothy.

"You may stay until it's time to go to your next class. There's a chair over there you can use." Nurse Dorothy pointed to a padded metal chair by the far side of the room and Yumi obediently trotted over to it and lifted it up. The chair was heavier than it looked, and her stomach muscles that had taken the abuse before now screamed in protest as she carried the chair to Jeremy's bed. Yumi did her best to ignore the pain and set the chair down by the head of the bed. Seeing that Yumi was comfortably situated, Dorothy went back to the small space that was her office to record the accident report.

Name: Jeremy Belpois
Date: March 13, 2005
Injuries: Small scratch on upper right cheek, large bump on back of head, concussion, and other small bruises
Cause of Injuries: Unknown at this time. It is believed the student fell out of bed, hit his head, and rolled under during the night.

"Jeremy, can you hear me?" Upon receiving no response from the still-unconscious boy, Yumi leaned back in the chair, moving into her own thoughts. What happened to Jeremy? Do I really want to know? My intuition tells me it was Theo, but he wouldn't really hurt any of my friends, right? If it was Theo who did this, I'll never forgive myself, never. I wish he'd wake up so we could find out what happened. This is all my fault, I just know it... Yumi's head bowed, and tears coursed down her cheeks for her injured friend.

A firm hand came down on Yumi's shoulder, bringing her out of her silent sorrow.

"He's going to be ok," Ulrich's gentle voice said reassuringly as he moved to stand at Yumi's right side.

"It's not that..." Yumi looked at the floor, afraid to tell Ulrich what she believed had happened. What if he hates me for it? Who am I kidding, he should hate me for it. I hate me enough the way it is, why not add more? "Ulrich, I think I know what happened to Jeremy." Yumi's voice was so quiet that Ulrich had to lean closer to hear it. "I-I think that -"

Just as Yumi was about to confess Theo's supposed role in the recent events, the bell rang and the nurse entered the sickroom, shooing the two out.

"What were you saying, Yumi?" Ulrich shut the door quietly behind them, and then they started walking toward the front lawn, where the P.E. class was meeting.

Yumi opened her mouth to continue, then had a change of heart. "Nothing, just forget about it." Ulrich looked at her strangely, then shrugged.

"You and the rest of the girls might want to go get your swimsuits because we're going swimming in the lake today." Ulrich headed over to the slowly growing group of P.E. students to pass on the message as Yumi headed to her cabin.

AN: The End. NOT! We still have about... a million and a half chapters to go! Well, at least 6 for sure. I have some of them written, but I didn't go in order so I have to go back and write chapter 46. I'll try to update soon. Review before you leave, thanks!
