Chapter 1 ~ Mr. Navit
"Akkino really doesn't understand much about Digimon," Arata said with a groan. "How did she become a part of our group again?"
Ami looked up from her homework and at the group chat. She scanned through the messages. "I believe she became a part of our group when I was partnered with her over a science project. My boyfriend just so happened to join the group conversation and wouldn't leave us alone to work on the project," she said.
Arata grumbled under his breath with a roll of his eyes.
"What exactly are Digimon?" Ami said. "Everyone seems intent to say that they are bad news."
"Programs hackers use to gain account information, privacy information, and everything," Arata said.
Ami looked at him. "That's vague."
He looked back. "I don't know much about them either. Just hearsay from forums and communities."
The doorbell rang in the apartment. Ami moved her homework and digivice onto the table "That must be supper. I'll get it if you want to get the movie set up."
"Deal," Arata said with a smile.
He had just opened the drawer to get the movie that he had planned on surprising Ami with when something made him focus back on his digivice. Mr. Navit had cut his way into the chat literally.
He gritted his teeth as Akkino was oblivious to the dangers of Digimon. He knew more about them than what he let on mainly because he doesn't want Ami to leave him.
She's the good girl and he is a delinquent, a bad boy her mother would not approve of.
"Arata," he heard Ami say with a sigh that was laced with sadness and disappointment.
Damnit!
He's been failing her and she's trying to keep it hidden. How many dates did he have planned for them lately only to show up late or get to involved with any of his hobbies and homework only to forget the date all together?
"I'm sorry," Arata said.
She didn't look convinced, but the pain he knew was in her voice should've been in her eyes. It was so quick for her to hide her pain from him anymore. It didn't help that he knew she was stressed with finals coming up for her and she is finally going to travel to see her mother for the first time in two years.
"Please say you are coming," Arata said and motioned to his digivice.
"Why should I?" Ami said as she sat the food down.
"Akkino thinks it is going to be a date for a PR event," Arata said. "I know it's confusing but-"
"Fine," Ami said. She got on her digivice and typed her message in the chat. She logged out and gathered her things. "Let me know when and where to meet up."
"Where are you going?" Arata said.
"Home."
"We can still eat supper and enjoy a movie," Arata said with a mental plea for her to stay.
"This will be my first time signing into EDEN which means I need to set up my access point," Ami said. "Besides, you two usually chat throughout the night anyway, so what's the point?"
"Ami."
"After tomorrow, I'll give you one more chance when I return back from visiting Mom," she said. "After that, I don't know what to do."
She left the house and Arata stared at his digivice. He's been such a jerk lately, but maybe he can still make it up to her. Akkino and her seem to be good friends while Ami doesn't talk much about her.
Maybe Akkino can help him.
