Just That Girl Chapter Two:
Author's Note: Well, thanks to anyone who's reading this author's note and this story. To be completely honest I'm winging this story. For as I've been writing fan fiction I've always had Yumi and Ulrich together. But lately I've been thinking of Ulrich giving up on waiting on Yumi. That's where Lexington. Lexington is just Lexington. But anyways this new chapter is out so soon because of the reviews I got last night. Thank you and if you want to see the next chapter out quick again, then click that little button. Later, kiddos.
Ulrich's P.O.V.
I was breathing heavily as I refused to lose this game to Lexington.
"Tired Stern?" The cocky girl smirked.
"Not in your dreams Sterling."
"The score is two to two. The next person to score wins the game." Odd announced.
"Fair enough." Lexington smiled as she had the ball.
"Just give it up Sterling. Save yourself from the embarrassment."
She dribbled the ball with her feet thoughtfully. "Yeah, right, ouch Ulrich!"
I quickly rushed to where Lexington was on the ground holding her knee. "Lexington!"
"Sucker." Lexington laughed as she dodged around me and scored the goal.
"No way." I repeated over and over out loud.
"I win Ulrich. I win the title as the best and you have to buy Odd all he can eat." She gloated as she did a dance.
"You cheater."
"I can not believe I was alive to see the day. The day where Ulrich Stern got beat in soccer." Odd laughed loudly.
"She cheated. I thought she was hurt." I defended.
"Sure that's it." Jeremy said slyly.
"Jer? I expect this out of Odd but you too?"
"Your boys know what it is Ulrich."
"I want a rematch."
"Nope. I won fair and square."
"Liar. Next time if I think you're hurt I'll leave you there." I threatened.
"No you won't." She shrugged drinking Gatorade.
"Ulrich you-"
"I know Odd, I owe you all you can eat."
"I'll be ready at six. Right now I have a date with Sam."
"I hate you." I told Lexington.
"Ditto Stern." She called as she left the showers.
Sighing I sat beside Yumi as Jeremy and Aelita left the field. "It's just not fair."
"What's wrong Stern mad you lost to a girl?"
"What's wrong Dunbar mad you still can't get a girl?" I fired back.
"Break it up you two." Yumi commanded from between us.
"I don't have time for this. I'll be in the library waiting for you Yumi." William huffed leaving.
"I really don't like him."
"He's not as bad as Lexington."
"What did you say?"
"I said he isn't as bad as Lexington. You don't agree?"
"No I don't agree. I'm actually friends with Lexington and I really don't like William."
"When were you going to tell us about her?"
"What was there to tell?"
"It's obviously you two have history."
"History?" I questioned raising my eyebrow. "Me and Lexington are just friends."
"Close good friends. So if she didn't come here you wouldn't have told us about her? I mean we were all here for the summer too and you never mentioned her."
"I didn't know I had to report to you on who my friends were." I scoffed standing. "Why? Jealous?"
"No." She muttered blushing.
"I wish you would be honest with yourself and the world, so you could stop playing games for once." Telling her that I started to walk away.
"And you don't play games too Ulrich Stern? What about Sissi or Emily?"
"Nothing. Sissi knows deep down I'll never like her and me and Emily are just friends."
"Yeah like how you and I are just friends…" She scoffed turning away.
"You are so-"
"So what Ulrich Stern?"
"You just frustrate me all together." I yelled leaving the field.
I slammed into the locker room, sitting on the bench.
"Girlfriend problems?"
"This is the boys' locker room."
"When has that ever stopped me? You know me, I do what I want. Besides I think you need to talk to me."
"Talk to you Lexington?"
"Yes, Ulrich talk to me." She confirmed sitting beside me on the bench.
"About?"
"About your girlfriend issues."
"Yumi is not my girlfriend."
"Close enough to it." She shrugged. "Now don't make this hard for me Stern."
"Lexington you don't need me to make anything hard for you. You're the most difficult person I've ever met."
"True, still this is about you and not me. What happened?"
"She's upset I didn't tell her about you."
"What was there to tell Ulrich? We've never been together."
"That's what I said. But then she was like we've all been here this summer and you never mentioned her." I explained.
"I think she's just being paranoid."
"Paranoid?"
"Yes. Some girls get like that sometimes. They have to check every girl that comes around the boy they like. Like they're protecting their prey."
"But she'll be like that today, but tomorrow it wont matter and she'll be all over Dunbar."
"Aw. The jealousy card."
"She is so annoying with her mood swings."
"Give her some time Ulrich. She'll come around."
"Lexington we've been doing this for the last three years."
"I hate to tell you this but there are other girls out there."
"Like I haven't thought about that. But I've just been so used to pining over her though. Like it's hard to imagine me with someone else."
"Well Ulrich either you put up with her or you move on."
"I wish it were that easy."
"Make it that easy. You don't have to move on all at once or anything. But gradually you'll start to move on. Maybe it'll be your free will or maybe it'll be fate." She advised me thoughtfully.
"Maybe."
"Yes, maybe. Now go take a shower. You stink."
"You go from giving me advice to telling me I stink. How nice."
"That's the end of my advice." She laughed.
"Hey, Lexington." I called before she left.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it kid."
Smiling a little I took a shower.
Lexington's P.O.V.
Popping some candy in my mouth I left the boys' locker room.
"Well, well, well. It's nice to know you go where you belong, with the boys." Sissi sneered.
"Go find where you belong Sissi, in the zoo with the gorillas."
"I am too pretty to be a gorilla, but you're not too pretty to be a boy."
"Just because I don't imitate a clown's make up like you everyday doesn't make me ugly. If anything it makes me pretty."
"Well-"
"Go find your followers Sissi and have a good night. I am really not in the mood for this." I called over my shoulder as I walked to my dorm.
"People." I greeted the two girls in the room.
"Hey." Aelita said brightly.
"Lexington." Yumi said stiffly.
"Girl who doesn't like me." I replied sitting on my bed.
"I hate the awkward silence right now." Aelita admitted after a few minutes.
"Whatever." I shrugged taking off my shoes and jacket.
"What are you doing tonight Lexington?"
"Dinner, then bed."
"You're going in early?"
"Yeah, soccer practice is at five A.M. And I do not like to get up in the morning."
"I have to be somewhere." Yumi announced standing.
"Yo, Yumi?" I called before she left out. "I'm not a threat to you. At least when it comes to Ulrich."
She nodded as she left the room.
"You just lied to her."
"I don't like Ulrich, Aelita."
"Maybe not but you two have something."
"We don't. Aren't you supposed to be saying how her and Ulrich are perfect together?"
"I don't want to lie. Ulrich's just as much my best friend as Yumi is. And after all these years I just don't see them together anymore." She confessed.
"And I'm guessing you wouldn't tell Yumi that?"
"I can't. She's done a lot for me. It's just that Ulrich is getting fed up. You are a threat to Yumi though. Did you see the way Ulrich was paying attention to you?"
"No, of course not." I argued fighting down a blush.
"You noticed alright." Aelita smiled.
"Aren't you breaking some rule promoting me and Ulrich? Doesn't that mean you're going against Yumi?"
"No. Who says you can't also be my best friend."
I gave Aelita a genuine smile, not one of my famous smirks. "Okay kid I give in. You can also be my best friend."
"You're not like other girls."
"So I've been told. It's alright though." I laughed.
"Come on Lexington so I can buy Odd his stupid dinner." Ulrich knocked on the door impatiently.
"Later kiddo." I called to Aelita.
"Be good."
"Despite what everyone thinks I am always good." I pouted opening the door. "Let's go."
"What about your shoes and your jacket?"
"Oops. I knew I forgot something." I said before reentering my dorm.
"You could have told me I forgot my shoes Aelita."
"Oops. I knew I forgot something." She smiled mocking me.
"I could make your life a living hell."
"I know you could, but I know you won't."
"I just have a soft spot for pinkettes." I shrugged before walking into the hallway.
