I know you guys probably dont like the pairing, but I'd really like constructive critisim.


I've decided. I am going to write Yumi a letter. If she doesn't even bother opening it, or she just throws it away, that's fine. At least I tried. At least I'm not like Ulrich, who doesn't try and do anything for her. Ulrich doesn't tell Yumi how special she is when she deserves to be told. He just expects to somehow end up with her. He isn't willing to show her that he loves her and that he will do anything for her. Yumi deserves someone who will, and I won't watch her get taken away by someone who won't.

I really don't have a problem with Ulrich, except the fact that he is so selfish and jealous. I can't even say hi to Yumi without him getting angry. And then she gets dragged into an argument with him.

Yumi probably wouldn't let us be together because she cares about Ulrich so much. He is the type who would sulk all the time because of it. We're so different. I'm not complaining though. If Yumi were only to return my feelings I'd be so happy.

I take out my pencil and decide what I'm going to write.

Should I write it in cursive? Or just normal handwriting? Cursive seems over the top, but then again I'm trying to get my point across.

Dear Yumi, I began to write.

Wait. Should it just be "Yumi," or "Dear Yumi," I'm not trying to sound like Sissi, so I'll change it.

Yumi, I wrote again. Ah, so many first line possibilities. Lyrics? A poem?

Alright, straight to the point but sweet and romantic is the way I'm trying to write this.

You're amazing. I love your beautiful eyes, I love your smile, I love your personality, I love you.

I hope that wasn't too much for her. I'm being completely honest here, so I'm not going to try and make this sound like its just a silly crush.

I know you and me never really got off to a good start, but I want to change that, Yumi.

It's true, Yumi never got to know me well. Ulrich got in the way. I feel sorry for Yumi, being stuck between two boys. I've always felt sorry for the girls in soap operas who are caught in a love triangle. If you'd call this one.

Ulrich changes things. I know he's crazy for you, Yumi, just like me. I think you like him too.

Writing that sentence, I felt a lump in my throat and my heart ached. I continued anyways.

He's your best friend, and I respect that, but he hates me out of jealousy. If you could just give me a chance, that would be great.

Itwould be great.

Maybe, if you want, we can just be friends.

I felt tears swell in my eyes and I wrote the last line.

Maybe I could sit with you.

I quickly signed my name and reread my letter, hoping it would be worthy enough to give you Yumi.

Tomorrow I'll slip it into her bag. Hopefully she reads it. Hopefully she likes it. Hopefully she'll feel different about me. That would be amazing.
If Yumi still feels the same way about me, then Ulrich wins. But I have tried everything, and that is all I can do.

Yumi,

You're amazing. I love your beautiful eyes, your smile, your personality, I love you.

I know you and me never really got off to a good start, but I want to change that, Yumi.

Ulrich changes things. I know he's crazy about you, Yumi, just like me. I think you like him too.

He's your best friend, and I respect that, but he hates me out of jealousy. If you could just give me a chance, that would be great.

Maybe, if you want, we can just be friends.

Maybe I could sit with you.

William
