Summary: "I may be a screw up, and I may get into a shit load of trouble, and you may absolutely hate me, but I guess that's just something I'm going to have to deal with. I don't know what this power is you have over me but I'm scared and I don't know how to deal with these feelings any more. Things ended between us a long time ago but now I feel like they never should have. I think I'm still in love with you, Sora…" He said as he pushed her up against the wall locking his lips with hers. She didn't push away… Sorato, duh. Read and Review!
Author's Note: So, I have decided to completely rewrite this story because I think the original version is horrible. I went back and read it and there are a lot of spelling errors and some things don't make sense so I'm switching things around a bit. If you have never read the original please don't. The updated version will be much better so read this one instead. I hope you all enjoy!
Bad Boys Uncut
Chapter One
He stood behind the bleachers on the tennis court watching every move her body made. She was alone that day; playing tennis in the rain like she always did when there was no practice. Tennis was her life. She had sold her soul to the tennis devil and that was where she spent most of her time.
She was long and lean and more fit than most of the girls at the university. She was captain of the tennis team, a straight A student, and student council president. She seemed like your average goody-goody but with an amazing personality. Her flawless looks and great personality are what attracted people to her. She was definitely an all-around genuinely good person. But back to the guy behind the bleachers…
My name is Ishida Yamato, but everyone calls me Matt. I am twenty one years old and I am currently in a band called "The Wolves". I think we suck, but apparently people like us since we've been signed by a record label. I've been in jail more than once for being in a "wrong place at the wrong time" situation. I guess the people I choose to hang out with are the ones that get me in those situations. Due to my own stupidity I keep getting in trouble and unfortunately the whole world hears about it through the television. I don't care what they say. I live my life the way I want to and no one can tell me any different.
"Sora, what in the world are you doing playing tennis in the rain? Practice is cancelled today," Coach Payne called from the outside of the court.
Sora stopped and turned around to see who was called her. She wiped the rain from her eyes and gave a cheerful smile, "Oh, hey Coach. I know practice is cancelled but I can't let a little rain stop me now. Regional's are in less than a month I can't skip a day."
The Coach just shook his head, "Do what you must, Sora." He walked away and mumbled something about how she was way too serious to his self.
Now, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you but Sora and I have a long history together. We met at a summer camp in the fifth grade, we grew up together our whole lives, and we even lost our virginity to one another. I think I first asked her out when we were thirteen. We were together for a long time; at least four or five years. And then things started to go down hill. I started hanging out with a different crowd of people. We would party almost every night, come to school with hangovers (or still drunk), I started smoking more than cigarettes and took drugs and Sora finally decided she didn't want to put up with it any more. I don't blame her. I wouldn't have put up with me either. She was my first, and only, true love. She gave me a second chance only on the condition that I stopped my bad habits. It didn't last more than a couple months and right before her freshman year of college started, things ended again.
That all leads me to where I am now. Sora is in her junior year of college and has definitely improved on the guys she's dated since me. Her latest love interest is the captain of the soccer team at a different university. She has a thing for guys in baggy shorts with shaggy, sweaty hair. I guess you could say she's into jocks now. She prefers to be around guys more than girls and who could blame her? Her best friend is a guy. His name is Kamiya Taichi, Tai for short. He's known Sora the longest out of any of her friends and can basically read her mind. It's disgusting how close the two of them are. If I didn't know any better I'd say she was having a secret affair with him. Thank God I know better.
"So when did you add stalking to your list of obsessive behaviors?" I heard a voice come from behind me making my heart race.
I turned around and was staring Tai in the face. He had a quizzical look on his face and I knew he was waiting for an answer.
"Does Sora know you're here or do you just randomly watch her play tennis without her knowledge?"
"I don't call it stalking. Just obsessively shadowing," I replied like the smart ass I am.
"Oh, you're hilarious. But seriously, does she know you're here?"
"No, and I would prefer you didn't say anything."
"You know she's moved on so why don't you do the same?"
"I have moved on. I just happened to be passing through and she caught my attention."
"You were passing through our campus, in the rain, and she caught your attention? You're a horrible liar; I hope you know that."
"Yeah, and you're a fucking douche bag. Move out of the way I'm leaving."
I pushed past him and stormed back to my car. I could feel Tai rolling his eyes in spite of me but I didn't give a shit. Tai and I have had our share of problems and I was glad I didn't have to put up with them any more.
"What happened to you, Matt…?" Tai whispered to his self in disappointment as he turned his attention back to Sora.
"She's hot, man," a friend of mine, Akira, said as I approached my car. He was leaning against the door of his car as he lit up a cigarette.
"She's okay," I replied bitterly.
"Shit man, you don't see girls like her walking around where I'm from."
"That's because you're from the damn boonies. The best looking girls you've got only have three teeth."
Akira laughed only because he knew it was true, "Let's get the hell out of here man. I've got a shipment to pick up."
Okay, now shipment in Akira's language usually meant something illegal and of course he was getting me involved, again. He's half the reason I've been on probation and had jail time. Why I continue to hang out with him is beyond my knowledge.
"Sora, you're going to get yourself deathly sick if you keep playing in the rain like this," Tai said approaching Sora with an umbrella.
"I'm already soaked Tai I don't think an umbrella's going to help now," she said with a smile.
"Good point. What do you say we get out of the rain and go get some breakfast? Mimi, Tk, and Kari are expecting us so I guess you don't really have a choice in the matter."
"I guess I can squeeze you guys in. I've been up since six practicing so a little time off wouldn't hurt."
"That a girl! Let's get you home and out of those wet clothes and go get something to eat. Being sick is a bitch."
"So what's the deal with you and that girl, Matt?" Akira asked while we were driving.
Akira is probably the worst driver I've ever met in my entire life and I still to this day don't know how he hasn't killed me yet. I heard his question but I was more concerned about sliding off the road into a river than answering. I held the "oh shit" handle for dear life.
"Uh, yeah we dated a while back," I finally replied after we hit bumper-to-bumper traffic and the car had stopped.
"So she's off limits then?" Akira wondered.
Now here's the difference between boys and girls: if a girl dates a guy and they break up he is completely off limits to any of her circle of friends. And in the case that a friend ends up dating that guy, the two girls are no longer friends and start talking shit about each other. With guys, however, we date whoever the hell we want and if a friend starts dating her after they break up, it's not a problem. The guy that got broken up with just gets bragging rights while his friend gets sloppy seconds. In the case of Sora, however, I wouldn't exactly be thrilled if one of my friends came on to her.
Trying not to sound like a jackass I replied, "Naw man it's cool. Go for it."
Akira smirked and turned down a back road to get away from the traffic. I about shit myself the entire drive.
"So why was Matt watching you play tennis this morning?" Tai asked as he drove himself and Sora to her apartment so she could change.
"Matt was watching me play tennis?" Sora replied with a lifted eyebrow.
"Yeah, I walked up and he was standing behind the bleachers watching you. Stalking is kind of low, even for him."
"I had no idea. That's a little strange. I didn't even know he was in town. I thought the band was touring or something. We don't even talk any more why would he be coming around campus? He doesn't even go to Tokyo University."
"I think he misses you."
"Well he lost his chance at that a long time ago. Maybe if he wasn't such an idiot we'd still be together. Ugh, I can't believe he's been watching me play tennis without me even knowing! That's so creepy."
"I'm sure he kicks himself in the ass everyday because he screwed things up with you. Oh well, we can't predict the future."
"Yeah, he did screw up. I gave him a second chance and he blew it. I'm sure he hasn't changed since then. He's probably gotten worse."
"Yeah, well let's not dwell on the past."
Akira squealed his car into the parking lot of a breakfast café right outside of Tokyo. I sat there in disbelief. He almost killed me over a couple of eggs and sausage?
"Why are we here?" I asked hoping he was getting something more than breakfast.
"I'm hungry. Why else would we be here?" Akira replied stepping out of the car.
"I thought you said you had a shipment to pick up?"
"Exactly."
Akira led me to the back of the restaurant where he knocked on the door twice, paused, and knocked again. A greasy fat guy in an apron opened the door and stared us down for a minute.
"You must be here to see Chi," he said opening the door and letting us in.
We walked through the kitchen of the restaurant where we were greeted by this Chi guy. He walked us into his office and locked the door. He pushed the camera up so it wasn't in view and he shut the blinds. Apparently his co-workers knew what he did and were probably all involved since he hadn't been ratted out yet. Hell, knowing this town the manager probably was in on it and got half the profits.
"I've got it right here," Chi said pulling a small bag with a white substance out of his pocket.
With little words, Akira handed him the money and we were on our way. It amazed me how easy it was to get away with smuggling drugs.
"All right I'm hungry let's get some grub," Akira said and we went to the restaurant.
Tai and Sora arrived at the restaurant where they found Mimi waiting patiently for someone to show up. She looked like a lost puppy sitting there all by herself.
"It's about time someone showed up. I've been calling Tk and Kari for the past half hour and neither of them are answering," Mimi said distraught.
"They probably went back to sleep. I wish I could," Tai said taking a seat next to Mimi.
"Are they together?" Sora asked.
"They better not be if they're sleeping," Tai stated.
"I doubt it. Tk's mom wouldn't allow that. They should be here shortly," Mimi jumped in.
Akira and I walked out from the kitchen and picked a seat. A waitress soon came and took our drink orders right as I noticed Sora, Tai, and Mimi sitting on the other side of the restaurant. Now, this restaurant wasn't big, but it did have two sections with a glass wall separating them.
"Hey, isn't that the little hottie from the tennis courts?" Akira asked noticing they were there.
"Yeah," I replied not really listening.
"I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back," Sora said getting up and making her way to the back of the restaurant.
"Watch the master work," Akira said dashing after her before I could stop him.
"Ugh, damn it…" I said watching him chase after her.
"Why didn't any one tell me I look like crap?" Sora asked herself looking in the mirror. She pulled out her makeup bag and put a little bit of foundation and powder on. She soon looked like a million bucks even though she was casually dressed in a pair of shorts and a red wife beater. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had tennis shoes on but still could pass for a movie star. Her extremely tan skin topped everything off.
She took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom only to find Akira standing in front of her.
"Hi, can I help you?" Sora asked noticing his glare.
Akira just stood there with a goofy grin on his face. Sora gave an "um, okay…" look and began to walk away only to feel a hand grab her arm.
"Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?" Sora almost screamed as he pulled her closer to him.
"Hey baby," Akira whispered in her ear sending chills down her spine.
"Let me go, what is wrong with you!?" Sora said struggling to get away.
I heard the commotion from my table and noticed Akira had Sora pinned against a wall. Enraged with jealousy I leapt from the table so I could push him off of her. This situation had been brought to Tai's attention as well.
"What are you doing, Akira?" I asked angrily seeing the fear in Sora's eyes.
"Matt!?" Sora said in disbelief.
"What the hell do you think you're doing," Tai said jumping in and pushing Sora away from us.
"Tai, I'm fine I can handle this," Sora said as Mimi approached and held her hand.
"No, Sora, you're being handled by these two assholes," Tai said curling his fists in defense.
"I had nothing to do with this," I said in my defense, "I was just coming to pull Akira off of her."
"Yeah, like I'm supposed to believe that. This is low, Matt, even for you. First the stalking and now you're ganging up on her?"
"Hey man, this is between me and the little hottie over there. This is none of your business," Akira said pushing Tai up against the wall.
"Mimi, take Sora and leave," Tai said, "This is going to get ugly."
Tai then charged at Akira and began punching him as hard as he could. Akira was pinned on the ground but soon got the advantage and flipped over to where Tai was now pinned. Akira had at least thirty pounds in Tai so getting the advantage wasn't too hard.
"Tai, stop! Are you insane!?" Sora cried trying to pull Akira off of him.
Akira pushed Sora and she flew into a wall. This is where I jumped in. I grabbed Akira by the shoulders and pushed him up against a wall while Sora and Mimi tended to Tai.
"I called the cops!" The manager said storming into the area. We all stared at him stupidly, "Are you going to sit there and wait or take off before they get here?"
"Let's get the fuck out of here. You better watch your back boy," Akira said pushing through us and running out the door. I quickly followed behind him.
"What in the world happened here?" Tk said as he and Kari finally made their appearance.
"Your brother," Tai put simply pulling himself off the ground, "That's what happened."
To Be Continued…
You can review, you don't have to, but I would prefer if you do… please and thank you! Oh, and the page breaks are supposed to indicate a different scene and it keeps switching between Sora and Matt so that's why there's so many!
