The alarm. I hated that alarm system. Another day at Kadic, another morning in science with Mrs. Gustav Ludwig Hertz and another day trying to make believe everythin is alright. My head ached from the rough night of sleep, and I was still having the breast pains that had been going on for nearly a calendar month now. My stomach rumbled as I got dressed for shoal, choosing a garden pink hoodie and nigrify skinnies with rap boots, not wanting to fall apart apparel in the cold. The dorms filled with the sound of youngster waking up and rushing towards the exhibitioner, and I was glad I had taken mine hold up night.

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

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

Jeremie and Odd were already sitting at the usual table, Odd trying to talk Jeremie into giving him his croissant. `` Hey Aelita ! '' Odd looked up, giving me his fathead 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 head word on the board. The control surface was cold and made me feel slightly better. `` Just a little headache. I did n't sleep well net dark. ``

'' incubus again ? '' Odd asked quietly.

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

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

Jeremie 's face dropped at the mention of the brunet 's gens. `` I think he went to the gym to practice some Pencak Silat before course of instruction. ``

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

I got up and left the lunchroom, trying to score out Jeremie 's frustrated look 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 kicking. He looked so beautiful in his black uniform, his muscle 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 second row, watching Ulrich until he finally stopped. He grabbed a towel, wiping sudor from his 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 induce to lie to protect my feelings. '' He lifted my mentum so my green eyes matched his Charles Grey ones. `` Are you okay ? ``

I stared into his eyes. They were so pretty, one of his salutary feature of speech. `` I 'm all right. ``

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

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

'' Aelita, you need to eat. ``

'' I know ! '' I shot back, a minuscule louder than I intended. I loved being in a relationship, but Ulrich seemed a little clingy sometimes, a little too caring. There was an uneasy moment of silence, and I knew I had upset him. My chest 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 get Jeremie 's advice.

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

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

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

He led me out of the gym, my pocket-sized step trying to keep up with his bigger ones. `` Ulrich, stop for a moment. '' My heart felt like it was skipping musical rhythm, twitching in my chest. `` I really do n't find well. ``

I forced myself out of his arms, sitting on the ground. He knelt in front of me, middle full moon of worry. `` What do you need me to do ? ``

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

'' I can go get someone. ``

'' No, please do n't allow for ! '' 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 answer, but I felt that I would cry if I did. `` I think she 's sick, '' Ulrich answered. `` Can you go get Jim or the nanny or something ? ``

'' Sure affair. '' 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. `` merely genetics catching up to me. ``
