The warning signal. I hated that dismay. Another day at Kadic, another morning in skill with Mrs. Hertz and another day trying to pretend everythin is alright. My head ached from the rough night of sleep, and I was still having the chest pains that had been going on for nearly a month now. My breadbasket rumbled as I got dressed for schooltime, choosing a pink hoodie and opprobrious skinnies with pink iron boot, not wanting to wear dresses in the cold. The dorms filled with the audio of kids waking up and rushing towards the shower, and I was sword lily I had taken mine last night.

'' Aelita, are you coming ? '' Anais Fiquet called, knocking on the doorway. We were n't last friends, but she had helped me several clock time in my time at Kadic.

'' I 'll be right— '' A pain shot through my chest, cutting me off. I inhaled sharply, trying not to yell. The pain went as quickly as it came, and I straightened up, looking at myself in the mirror. My face was blench, but I looked ticket. I quickly brushed my hair, though I knew it would n't do much dependable, and grabbed my bag, racing to breakfast.

Jeremie and Odd were already sitting at the common mesa, Odd trying to talk Jeremie into giving him his croissant. `` Hey Aelita ! '' Odd looked up, giving me his goofball smile. `` Anything on your tray you do n't need ? ``

'' No. '' I slid the tray over to him. `` I 'm not really hungry.

'' You okay, Aelita ? '' Jeremie asked, worry filling his voice.

I nodded, resting my brain on the table. The surface was low temperature and made me feel slightly better. `` Just a little head ache. I did n't kip well last night. ``

'' Nightmares again ? '' Odd asked quietly.

I nodded, though it was a lie. I hated lying to my admirer, but I did n't need them to cognise I was chuck. `` Maybe you should go lay down in the hospital, '' Jeremie suggested, brushing my hair out of my fount. `` You feel really ardent, you might have caught something. ``

I shook my point. `` Just a little fag is all. Have you seen Ulrich ? ``

Jeremie 's nerve dropped at the citation of the brunette 's figure. `` I think he went to the gym to practice some Pencak Silat before class. ``

'' I think I 'll go pay him a visit. ``

I got up and left the lunchroom, trying to rub out Jeremie 's disappointed typeface from my judgment. He had recently discovered that Ulrich and I were in a kinship after he caught us kissing on the Red Trail. I spied Yumi and William talking under the arch, but was too tired to say hi. I finally reached the gym, where Ulrich was practicing his kicks. He looked so beautiful in his black uniform, his muscles showing. He spotted me and smiled, but did n't quit his workout. I made my way over to the bleachers, sitting down on the irregular row, watching Ulrich until he finally stopped. He grabbed a towel, wiping sweat from his face, and walked over to me, planting a buss on my cheek.

'' Are you okay ? '' he asked almost immediately. `` You feel really warm. ``

I shrugged. `` I 'm very well. ``

'' Aelita, you do n't have to lie to protect my feelings. '' He lifted my chin so my green eyes matched his grey ones. `` Are you okay ? ``

I stared into his eyes. They were so pretty, one of his full features. `` I 'm fine. ``

Ulrich sighed. `` Alright. Have you eaten breakfast ? ``

I groaned, knowing what he was going to say when I said no. `` I do n't feel like feeding. ``

'' Aelita, you need to eat. ``

'' I know ! '' I shot back, a petty louder than I intended. I loved being in a relationship, but Ulrich seemed a short clingy sometimes, a little too caring. There was an ungainly moment of muteness, and I knew I had upset him. My breast started hurting again but I refused to let it show. `` I think I 'm gon na go lay down in the infirmary for a bit, '' I mumbled, deciding to choose Jeremie 's advice.

'' That sounds like a good thought. '' Ulrich helped me to my foundation and wrapped his arm around me, both to go along me from falling and keep my close to him.

As I got to my fundament, the room seemed unleveled, everything tilting. `` hullo storey, '' I mumbled, stumbling slightly.

'' Oh, no you do n't ! '' Ulrich held me tighter. `` cum on. Let 's get you to harbour Yolanda. ``

He led me out of the gym, my small tread trying to keep up with his expectant ones. `` Ulrich, stop for a moment. '' My center felt like it was skipping beats, twitching in my dresser. `` I really do n't feel well. ``

I forced myself out of his arms, sitting on the ground. He knelt in front of me, eyes broad of trouble. `` What do you want me to do ? ``

'' I do n't eff. '' I curled up against the pain.

'' I can go get somebody. ``

'' No, please do n't allow for ! '' I cried, reaching out and grabbing his arm. Fear filled his eyes.

'' O.K., Princess, I wo n't go anywhere. '' He looked around, not letting go of my hand.

'' Aelita ? '' Yumi ran over to us, William following slowly. `` Are you okay ? ``

I wanted to answer, but I felt that I would cry if I did. `` I think she 's honk, '' Ulrich answered. `` Can you go get Jim or the nanny or something ? ``

'' Sure thing. '' She turned to William and he nodded, running off. I was glad that she stayed as well. `` Aelita, do you want to talk about what 's going on ? ``

I smiled weakly. `` Just genetic science catching up to me. ``
