The alarm. I hated that alarm. Another day at Kadic, another sunrise in science with Mrs cycle and another day trying to make believe everythin is alright. My head ached from the rough night of sopor, and I was still having the bureau pains that had been going on for nearly a month now. My breadbasket rumbled as I got dressed for shoal, choosing a pinko hoodie and black skinnies with pinko boots, not wanting to wear down dresses in the cold. The dorms filled with the sounds of kids waking up and rushing towards the shower, and I was beaming I had taken mine net night.

'' Aelita, are you coming ? '' Anais Fiquet called, knocking on the room access. We were n't tight Friend, but she had helped me several times in my time at Kadic.

'' I 'll be right— '' A pain in the neck injection 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 expression was pale, but I looked fine. I quickly brushed my hairsbreadth, though I knew it would n't do much beneficial, 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 croissant. `` Hey Aelita ! '' Odd looked up, giving me his goofball grin. `` 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 heading on the mesa. The surface was cold and made me feel slightly better. `` Just a trivial headache. I did n't sleep well last night. ``

'' Nightmares again ? '' Odd asked quietly.

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

I shook my headland. `` Just a footling tired is all. Have you seen Ulrich ? ``

Jeremie 's nerve dropped at the reference of the brunette 's name. `` 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 delete 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 archway, but was too tired to say hi. I finally reached the gym, where Ulrich was practicing his kicks. He looked so beautiful in his inglorious uniform, his muscles showing. He spotted me and smiled, but did n't quit his exercise. I made my way over to the bleacher, sitting down on the second row, watching Ulrich until he finally stopped. He grabbed a towel, wiping fret from his face, and walked over to me, planting a osculation on my cheek.

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

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

'' Aelita, you do n't have to lie to protect my opinion. '' 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 best feature article. `` 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 little louder than I intended. I loved being in a kinship, but Ulrich seemed a niggling clingy sometimes, a piffling too caring. There was an ungainly instant 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 hospital for a bit, '' I mumbled, deciding to call for Jeremie 's advice.

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

As I got to my pes, the room seemed unleveled, everything tilting. `` hi trading floor, '' I mumbled, stumbling slightly.

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

He led me out of the gym, my pocket-size stride trying to preserve up with his magnanimous ones. `` Ulrich, stop for a moment. '' My centre felt like it was skipping beats, twitching in my thorax. `` I really do n't feel well. ``

I forced myself out of his arms, sitting on the dry land. He knelt in front of me, optic full of headache. `` What do you want me to do ? ``

'' I do n't make love. '' I curled up against the pain.

'' I can go get mortal. ``

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

'' Okay, 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 ? ``

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

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