The alarm system. I hated that alarm. Another day at Kadic, another dawning in science with Mrs. Hz and another day trying to pretend everythin is alright. My head ached from the rough night of slumber, and I was still having the chest pains that had been going on for nearly a month now. My tum rumbled as I got dressed for shoal, choosing a garden pink hoodie and black skinnies with pink the boot, not wanting to wear wearing apparel in the cold. The dorms filled with the phone of kids waking up and rushing towards the exhibitor, and I was beaming I had taken mine last night.

'' Aelita, are you coming ? '' Anais Fiquet called, knocking on the threshold. We were n't close friend, but she had helped me various metre in my time at Kadic.

'' I 'll be right— '' A pain guessing through my chest, cutting me off. I inhaled sharply, trying not to scream. The bother went as quickly as it came, and I straightened up, looking at myself in the mirror. My face was pale, but I looked finely. I quickly brushed my hair's-breadth, though I knew it would n't do much good, and grabbed my bag, racing to breakfast.

Jeremie and Odd were already sitting at the usual table, Odd trying to spill the beans Jeremie into giving him his crescent roll. `` 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, concern filling his voice.

I nodded, resting my headspring on the tabular array. The open was cold and made me finger slightly better. `` Just a piffling headache. I did n't slumber well hold out night. ``

'' 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 know I was crazy. `` Maybe you should go lay down in the infirmary, '' Jeremie suggested, brushing my hair out of my face. `` You feel really warmly, you might get caught something. ``

I shook my pass. `` Just a piffling tired is all. Have you seen Ulrich ? ``

Jeremie 's face dropped at the mention of the brunette 's epithet. `` I think he went to the gym to recitation some Pencak Silat before family. ``

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

I got up and left the lunchroom, trying to erase Jeremie 's disappointed face from my mind. He had recently discovered that Ulrich and I were in a relationship after he caught us kissing on the Red Trail. I spied Yumi and William talking under the arch, but was too well-worn to say hi. I finally reached the gym, where Ulrich was practicing his kicks. He looked so beautiful in his blacken 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 sec row, watching Ulrich until he finally stopped. He grabbed a towel, wiping sweat from his human face, and walked over to me, planting a osculation on my cheek.

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

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

'' Aelita, you do n't make to lie to protect my tone. '' He lifted my chin so my green center matched his hoary ones. `` Are you okay ? ``

I stared into his heart. They were so pretty, one of his best 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 finger like eating. ``

'' Aelita, you need to eat. ``

'' I know ! '' I shot back, a minuscule louder than I intended. I loved being in a human relationship, but Ulrich seemed a picayune clingy sometimes, a little too caring. There was an awkward moment of silence, and I knew I had upset him. My chest of drawers started hurting again but I refused to let it demonstrate. `` I think I 'm gon na go lay down in the hospital for a bit, '' I mumbled, deciding to ask Jeremie 's advice.

'' That sounds like a good musical theme. '' Ulrich helped me to my invertebrate foot and wrapped his arm around me, both to stay fresh me from falling and keep my finish to him.

As I got to my feet, the elbow room seemed unleveled, everything tilting. `` Hello floor, '' I mumbled, stumbling slightly.

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

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

I forced myself out of his coat of arms, sitting on the ground. He knelt in front of me, centre wax of worry. `` What do you want me to do ? ``

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

'' I can go get soul. ``

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

'' okeh, 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 serve, but I felt that I would cry if I did. `` I think she 's sick, '' Ulrich answered. `` Can you go get Jim or the nursemaid or something ? ``

'' certainly matter. '' 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. `` fair genetics catching up to me. ``
