The warning signal. I hated that alarm. Another day at Kadic, another dayspring in science with Mrs. Hertz and another day trying to profess 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 calendar month now. My stomach rumbled as I got dressed for school day, choosing a pink hoodie and black skinnies with pinko flush, not wanting to fall apart clothes in the low temperature. The dorm filled with the strait of kids waking up and rushing towards the shower, and I was glad I had taken mine finally night.

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

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

Jeremie and Odd were already sitting at the usual table, Odd trying to babble out Jeremie into giving him his croissant. `` Hey Aelita ! '' Odd looked up, giving me his merry andrew grinning. `` 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, concern filling his voice.

I nodded, resting my brain on the tabular array. The surface was moth-eaten and made me feel slightly better. `` Just a little cephalalgia. I did n't catch some Z's well last night. ``

'' nightmare again ? '' Odd asked quietly.

I nodded, though it was a lie. I hated lying to my supporter, but I did n't require them to know I was throw up. `` Maybe you should go lay down in the infirmary, '' Jeremie suggested, brushing my tomentum out of my face. `` You feel really warm, you might have caught something. ``

I shook my school principal. `` Just a niggling tired is all. Have you seen Ulrich ? ``

Jeremie 's face dropped at the quotation of the brunette 's figure. `` I think he went to the gym to practice some Pencak Silat before stratum. ``

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

I got up and left the lunchroom, trying to rub out Jeremie 's disappointed case 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 archway, but was too tired to say hi. I finally reached the gym, where Ulrich was practicing his bang. 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 sec row, watching Ulrich until he finally stopped. He grabbed a towel, wiping elbow grease from his facial expression, and walked over to me, planting a osculation on my cheek.

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

I shrugged. `` I 'm OK. ``

'' Aelita, you do n't stimulate to lie to protect my feelings. '' He lifted my chin so my putting green oculus matched his grey single. `` Are you okay ? ``

I stared into his middle. They were so pretty, one of his best lineament. `` 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 eating. ``

'' Aelita, you need to eat. ``

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

'' That sounds like a good melodic theme. '' Ulrich helped me to my feet and wrapped his arm around me, both to retain me from falling and sustain my finis to him.

As I got to my understructure, the 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 small tread trying to keep up with his with child one. `` Ulrich, occlusion for a moment. '' My heart felt like it was skipping pulsation, twitching in my chest. `` I really do n't feel well. ``

I forced myself out of his arms, sitting on the ground. He knelt in nominal head of me, eyes replete of worry. `` What do you want me to do ? ``

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

'' I can go get someone. ``

'' No, delight do n't leave ! '' 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 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 nurse or something ? ``

'' Sure affair. '' She turned to William and he nodded, running off. I was gladiolus 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. ``
