A/N: For each chapter of the book, I will say from which POV (Point of View) it is written from. Also, this is my first fan fic, so please be nice. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism please, not just unnecessary anger and hatred. Thanks! R&R. I will try to update daily, if not every other day. It depends on how much free time I have. I defiantly won't be one of those authors who update once a month. Thanks! Enjoy!
Prologue
(Kari POV)
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep rang the alarm clock in Kari's dormitory. It was her 3rd year of college. It was ¼ of the way through the year. This signaled that is was time for her first class of the day. She turned off the alarm clock and got out of bed. She got on a yellow T-shirt and blue skinny jeans. She brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, which was now down to her mid-back. Kari put it in a braid down he back, which one of her roommates suggested she try when she got here. She got all of her stuff together, and left for her class. When she got there, she took her seat and got out her homework. She was going to collage to learn how to be a teacher. She always loved kids, and her dream job was to be a kindergarten teacher, as the DigiDestined friends already knew from the battle with MaloMyotismon. Currently though, she was in Math class. Even back in Elementary, Math was never her thing, but it was a class she had to take.
"Welcome class. Pass your homework to the front." The teacher said. Almost everybody did as told. Some people didn't do their homework. This was normal. "Okay. Now we'll start the lesson. So-" he started writing stuff up on the board. Kari was struggling to follow, even though the math was pretty basic. It's the kind of stuff people learn in Middle School. That's why she was put in the bad Math class. "So, if k=y/x, the value of y is 5 and the value of x is 8, what is the value of k?" the teacher asked. Nobody raised their hand. "No volunteers? Well, Kari, how about you? What is the value of k?"
"Uh…" Kari stuttered. She tried to work the problem out in her head. "1.06?" Kari guessed. She really hoped that she was right, because she didn't need to be embarrassed in front of the whole class. She has been getting better at Math though. It's only a matter of time until they put me into the regular math class. Kari had been thinking lately.
"Yes Kari! Great job! 1.06 is correct! And what do we call that number?" the teacher prodded at Kari with that question. Feeling a bit more confidence, Kari tried to answer.
"The…unit rate?" Kari guessed.
"Yes! Now, are the values on the table on the board proportional?" Kari studied the board. She now had more confidence than before. She looked at the table.
"Yes." Kari said confidently. This time, she said her answer as a statement instead of a question.
"Why?"
"Because if you multiply x by 1.06, then you get y. 1.06 is the constant of proportionality." She said. She was sure of herself. She had never been so confidant in her math ability, except in this class. This teacher was her favorite He was so nice and encouraging. Even if you're wrong, he'll work one-on-one with you to help you figure it out. He actually wanted to help his students. Kari was worried about her improvement. If she does get moved into another class, she won't have Mr. Fends. She might get a mean teacher.
"Exactly! Awesome job Kari!" the teacher said. He came over and high-fived her. She was friends with the teacher. Twice a week (at least) she'll have him come to her dorm and tutor her. He didn't feel like a teacher to her, more like a friend. Maybe it was because of his age. He was 24, which made him a rather young professor, but it also makes him more student friendly. After Kari's amazing job, he didn't bother her with any math problems. The rest of her day was pretty normal. She didn't see TK or Sora anywhere though. They went to the same university. TK was going for the creative writing courses though. He wanted to write books. Sora had taken to designing and making clothes. Who would have thought that Sora would like that? Most would have thought Mimi would do that. Well, when she did design clothes, her sketches were pretty bad, so she decided to go to college for Art. She came with Kari, because Kari had asked her to. Begged is closer. Sora had become a close friend of Kari's. When Kari went to bed, she was tempted to go to the Digital World to get Gatomon, but decided against it. She hadn't seen Gatomon in 3 years. With college, she has a little free time each day. Most of that time was spent doing homework (her teacher classes gave her a lot of homework. Plus, because she was in her 3rd year, and she was an excellent student, her professor would even give her some papers to grade. Once, Kari even got to make the lesson plans for the next day.) and the other part she was with friends, eating, and sometimes visiting her brother. She couldn't just up and disappear in her dorm. Her roommates wouldn't be very happy, and Kari would have a horrible time trying to explain everything. Even if she could go visit Gatomon, she couldn't bring her back because pet's aren't allowed in the dorms unless they were approved. She missed the Digimon. All of them. She craved for her old adventures. Maybe tomorrow Gatomon. Kari thought as she drifted off to sleep. She thought that to herself every night, but could never fulfill it.
