The alarm. I hated that alarm. Another day at Kadic, another daybreak in scientific discipline with Mrs. Hertz and another day trying to pretend everythin is alright. My head ached from the approximative night of sleep, and I was still having the thorax pains that had been going on for nearly a month now. My stomach rumbled as I got dressed for school, choosing a garden pink hoodie and contraband skinnies with pink flush, not wanting to wear dresses in the coldness. The dorms filled with the strait of kids waking up and rushing towards the shower bath, and I was glad I had taken mine survive night.

'' Aelita, are you coming ? '' Anais Fiquet called, knocking on the door. We were n't close admirer, but she had helped me respective fourth dimension in my clock time at Kadic.

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

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

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

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

I nodded, resting my head on the table. The surface was cold and made me feel slightly better. `` Just a little vexation. I did n't slumber well last dark. ``

'' incubus again ? '' Odd asked quietly.

I nodded, though it was a lie. I hated lying to my friends, but I did n't want them to sleep with I was grim. `` Maybe you should go lay down in the infirmary, '' Jeremie suggested, brushing my hair out of my facial expression. `` You feel really warm, you might have caught something. ``

I shook my head. `` Just a piddling tired is all. Have you seen Ulrich ? ``

Jeremie 's cheek dropped at the credit of the brunette 's name. `` I think he went to the gym to exercise some Pencak Silat before year. ``

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

I got up and left the lunchroom, trying to efface Jeremie 's frustrated facial expression from my mind. He had recently discovered that Ulrich and I were in a relationship after he caught us kissing on the Red lead. I spied Yumi and William talking under the archway, but was too tired to say hi. I finally reached the gym, where Ulrich was practicing his beef. He looked so beautiful in his black uniform, his muscle showing. He spotted me and smiled, but did n't quit his physical exercise. I made my way over to the bleachers, sitting down on the second row, watching Ulrich until he finally stopped. He grabbed a towel, wiping elbow grease from his face, and walked over to me, planting a kiss on my cheek.

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

I shrugged. `` I 'm alright. ``

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

I stared into his eye. They were so pretty, one of his dependable feature film. `` I 'm amercement. ``

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 piffling louder than I intended. I loved being in a family relationship, but Ulrich seemed a little clingy sometimes, a little too caring. There was an sticky moment of silence, and I knew I had upset him. My thorax 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 adopt Jeremie 's advice.

'' That sounds like a good idea. '' Ulrich helped me to my feet and wrapped his arm around me, both to save me from falling and keep my close to him.

As I got to my pes, the way seemed unleveled, everything tilting. `` hello floor, '' I mumbled, stumbling slightly.

'' Oh, no you do n't ! '' Ulrich held me besotted. `` seed on. Let 's get you to Nurse Yolanda. ``

He led me out of the gym, my humble tread trying to hold back up with his larger I. `` Ulrich, stop for a moment. '' My heart felt like it was skipping round, twitching in my breast. `` I really do n't sense well. ``

I forced myself out of his implements of war, sitting on the ground. He knelt in figurehead of me, eyes full of headache. `` What do you want me to do ? ``

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

'' I can go get someone. ``

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

'' OK, 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 suffice, but I felt that I would cry if I did. `` I think she 's throw up, '' 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 gladiolus that she stayed as well. `` Aelita, do you need to talk about what 's going on ? ``

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