Sora Takenouchi- 23 Yamato Ishida- 23

Chapter One: Sora's POV

My name is Sora Takenouchi. I'm 23 years old. I'm what you might call an average woman. I play tennis as my pass time. I use to play soccer when I was in Elementary but I've sort of out grown it.

Dates? Sure I've had dates BUT they usually don't work out. The guys I've dated are either too cocky, big ego with the whole package, you name it or they're just too boring. I know no ones perfect but I am really picky.

Anyway, I have my own place. No I'm not super rich. I own a very successful flower shop though thanks to my very good friend Yolie. I hired her as an assistant to take care of the shop because I get very busy although I always go there every weekend or more to make sure everything is okay. I met her in the digital world years ago. She needed a job so I gave her one. The flower shop was passed on to me by my mom. She passed away when I was nineteen, bless her soul, due to some disease the doctors couldn't figure out. I still have my dad and I'm happy to say we grew close.

My parents divorced when I was six. He still kept in touch and supported me and my mom. He came to my mom's funeral and ever since then we've grown really close. He was there for me when I needed someone to lean on to and supported me when I wanted to become a designer and a model.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention I'm currently working as both. Well, I am. Probably hard to believe huh? Me? A model? Even my friends couldn't believe it just because I hung out with guys and played soccer. People thought I was a tomboy in elementary. Talk about judgemental. I am happy to say I'm getting really successful doing what I do and I also have fun doing it too.

I am now sitting in one of Aiko's most boring meeting for our fashion show tonight. I've been here for almost half an hour and all I've heard is how important it is, 'ONE OF THE BIGGEST' she said. Of course we all know that.

Aiko is a really good friend and I love her to death but sometimes as a fashion coordinator. She is so boring.

She started handing out the program list and we started going through everything. I sighed and looked out the window. I was about to go to my own little world when the word Teenage Wolves was mentioned.

I looked at Aiko, eyes wide. I shook my head and looked at the program just to make sure I heard them right. I couldn't believe it. Yamato 'Matt' Ishida was coming to the show.

I thought their band stopped playing. I frowned at the memories swirling on my head.

Yamato Ishida was the love of my life. He was my very first boyfriend. He gave me my first kiss. Heck, I think everything I had to lose, I gave to him, except for that one very important thing of course.

I met him at the digital world. After spending time with him I grew a crush on him but he was very distant and his mood was very moody. We saved 2 worlds. THAT was a lot of fun. Almost getting killed. I had a blast. You all know sarcasm right?

After saving the world we came back and we went to the same high school. After almost dying, I think he realized that people really cared about him, that he shouldn't be afraid to show other feelings, not just anger. We had been close. I hung out with him although, he was very popular and most of his friends didn't think I was good enough to hang out with. He really is nice after you've gotten to know him. We started going out when we were sixteen. It was 6 months before he first said he loved me. I loved him too. He can be such a romantic. He played me songs he made up. I knew he always had a talent for music. But just being with him made me happy.

When he started a band, we started to drift apart. His band mates are really nice and accepted me but he's always at parties or gigs. Every girl wanted him more. He was always surrounded by them that I couldn't even get close to him. Every last one of them wondered what he saw in me. That one hurt. Sure, I'm not the most beautiful girl in the world but somehow they always found a way to make me feel down. We rarely talked but he always found a way to make it up to me.

We had been going out for 2 years. When we finished high school, just when summer was starting, we had an argument. We were at the park when I told him I was going to America with my mom because she was sick and she needed treatment. I thought he would kiss me good luck and say he missed me but he did something very unexpected.

--Flashback-

I saw him sitting on the bench and I was sitting beside him while I told him about my plans for the summer. His hands were up covering his face. When he didn't say anything, I stood in front of him.

"Yama," I sighed, "I'm not going to be gone forever, I'm just going for the summer."

I took his hands of his face to see his expression when he suddenly stood up and pulled his hand away from my grasp.

I looked at him, confused.

When he looked at me, I knew something was wrong. He's eyes had gone cold, just like it always does when he's covering something or just being defensive.

"Sora, I think it's a good idea if we stop seeing each other."

I looked at him in shock. He can't be serious even though his eyes told me he was. I didn't understand and I shook my head vigorously.

"What do you mean?" I wanted to know if this was some kind of sick joke. I thought he would give it but I was wrong.

He just sighed, as if bored, and turned away. "What are you, deaf or just plain stupid?" he replied coldly.

A sob choked on my throat. Why was he being so cruel? I tried to be strong. Not to let any tears out but they were already running down my cheek.

"Why?" was the only question I could think of as more tears came down.

He merely shrugged. "I had a falling out, I guess. I don't love you anymore. I found someone else."

He guessed? I couldn't believe it. Here I am standing, facing his back while he's breaking up with me. I felt like someone just stabbed a knife in my heart and cut it into a million pieces.

I stared at his back, hoping a hole would appear and start to swallow him up. I was angry, sad, and heartbroken all at once.

"What are you huh?" I sniffled and tried to swallow back the rest of my tears but miserably failing. "Are you deliberately trying to be cruel? At least look at me when you're breaking up with me," I yelled.

I saw him wince but he just stood there and never looked back. I turned around and started to leave. No point of staying there. The pain was much too deep and the torture was too hard.

I didn't get very far when my cell phone rung.

I wiped my tears and sounded cheery just in case. "Hello?"

"Sora," it was Mimi, "get here right now." Her voice sounded so urgent.

Great, just great. Things just couldn't get any worse. I panicked. "Is something wrong Mimi. Meet where?"

"The usual for our sorority. Hurry okay so we can straighten this whole mess because this is really shocking."

When I got to the clubhouse, Mimi came rushing down right beside me and took my hand and patting it.

Everyone was seated down and looked at me with sympathy as I came in.

Jun stood up and gave me smirked. She flashed her engagement ring right to my face that I almost went blind.

I looked at her weirdly. This was the emergency? I just got dumped and suppose to be mulling over Yamato and they called me here for this?

"You're getting married? That's great. I'm happy for you Jun," I said somewhat sarcastically. I really had a bad day and Jun getting married and happy just blows.

Jun smirked, again. "Guess who?" I rolled my eyes, I seriously wanted to punched her face in. Her annoying voice didn't make anything better either. I feel sorry for the guy who was stuck with her.

I wanted to laugh out loud but when she said the guy's name, I froze.

"Yamato Ishida," she said victoriously.

Her words tore me, piercing every inch of my body. I couldn't believe it. Yamato dumped me for Jun? The world has gone crazy. Yamato had always complained on how annoying she was and she was always stalking him.

I knew Jun had her eyes on Yamato but I didn't think that he would return her feelings. Beside, she only liked him for his looks and popularity.

I felt Mimi's hand squeezed mine for comfort. I had to get out of here before I let them see me bawling like a baby, especially Jun. I would never let her see me cry. She would just love that.

I pulled back my hand away from Mimi and started for the door. When I was far enough the tears had started again and I just wanted to die.

When I got home, Mimi called a couple of times to see how I was doing. That girl can be annoying but she's my friend and she just care too much. I told her I was not fine and I wanted some time alone and she understood.
