1 Hidden Secrets

Tai looked out across the school hall. It was immaculately decorated with streamers, balloons and ribbons. He should be happy, it was the annual high school dance. However, he didn't share the enthusiasm with his fellow students.

He finally found who he was looking for on the dance floor. His best friend Yamato. Tai finally cracked a smile. He set off towards his friend, but stopped when he saw Yamato joined by another person. Sora.

Ever since they started high school, Sora had changed. She had stopped hanging around with the digidestined crowd and started hanging out with the cheerleaders. These three girls had a reputation in the school for being complete bitches who used people to get what or sometimes, who they wanted.

Sora had suddenly become one of these people and Tai and the others had developed a hatred towards their old friends. That was, everyone except Yamato.

Tai watched with narrowed eyes as Sora whispered in Yamato's ear, this caused Yamato to smile as Sora led him off the dance floor.

Tai glared at the spot where Yamato had been. For some reason that guy never saw Sora's faults.

Tai jumped as someone placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Joe.

"Oh Hey Joe". He smiled weakly.

"Tai…there's something I need to tell you". Joe's monotone voice was reflected in his serious look.

"Well…sure Joe..what"?

"Not here…Izzy has the car around the back". Joe started to pull Tai by the arm. Tai could do nothing but allow himself to be led.

**

Izzy's car left a lot to be desired. He had saved for months to by the rusty hunk of junk with chipped red paint. Joe bundled Tai into the back and sat down beside him.

"Look guys, this is like a scene from one of those bad movies they show on a……..".

"Tai…we need to tell you something". Izzy turned around in the front seat to face Tai.

"Yeah Joe said……".

"It's about Yamato". Izzy continued.

"Yama?…what is it"? Tai asked shocked.

"Sora, she's using him, she sleeps with him and…there's a reason for that that isn't love". Izzy replied darkly.

"Why..does she do it"?.

"She promises to sleep with him. If he gets her and those friends on hers, drugs". Joe finished.

"Yamato does drugs"? Tai replied shocked.

"No he doesn't, he's smarter than that. However, I can't say the same for Akira and Toshiki. You see, they've been doing it for a while now. And what with Yamato being friends with them because of the band, he could easily get drugs. You know how much Yamato has a crush on Sora and it appears he'll do anything for her. So the promise of sleeping with her must be so good, he's willing to do everything and anything she asks. Even if it is illegal. The thing is , Akira just doesn't give drugs for free. He charges Yamato, a lot from what I've heard. However, Sora warned Yamato that if she had to fork out even a penny for them , she'd let him go. So basically Yamato is draining his student loan money and personal savings to feed the habit of her and her friends. Or so it would seem". Izzy finally stopped talking to allow Tai to take this in.

"Well how do you guys know about this"? Tai asked , barely able to speak.

"The guys that supply Akira are in Joe's chemistry class, he heard one of them telling his friends, that Akira had this friend who was being ridden by some girl for drugs. Well, you know the story so I won't repeat. Tai, we have to tell Yamato, this is dangerous. If Yamato ever makes Sora mad enough, she could get him in a lot of trouble for supplying drugs. She would win as she has three witnesses who would lie to see Yamato go down". Joe warned.

"You're asking me to tell him"? Tai asked.

"As far as we know, Sora is telling Yamato she loves him, and he thinks he's in a good relationship. I'm sure he doesn't agree with the drugs but he'll do anything for her".

"If he's so in love with her why would he listen to me"?

"Because Tai, you're still his best friend and we're hoping he'll listen to you over Sora. After all you guys are pretty close". Joe replied.

Tai sighed, he had a job ahead of him. He had to help Yamato out of this one. Tai nodded and decided to go along with the idea.

"Ok, well, I saw him leave the dance so I figure if I wait an hour or so, he'll be back at the apartment".

Joe and Izzy nodded.

"Good idea, although I thought he was moving in with Sora" Joe replied.

"I don't think so, if he is , he's neglected to mention that fact to me". Tai stared at Joe. Joe simply shrugged.

Tai collapsed back against the chair and hit his head on the head rest. "Shit". He uttered.
