Trapped Love
It was a late, warm day on March 28th. Tai was walking along the sidewalk looking for something to do. Tai put his hands in his pockets, leaned his head back a little, and let out a sigh.
*Why does a Thursday afternoon always have to be so boring?* He asked himself. *No one's ever free anymore either. No, someone would be if things had worked out between us. But, I was too selfish and asked her friend out because of her looks. Now we're not even friends and I don't even go out with her friend anymore so I lost another close friend. I hate how great friendships end up becoming worst relationships. I had a great one with-*
"Yo, Tai! Wait up!" Davis interrupted Tai's thoughts. He snapped out of his trance and looked around quickly. Davis ran up to him and then stopped when he reached Tai, panting for some breath.
"What is it Davis? Is something wrong?" Tai asked him.
"No, nothing's wrong. I was told to give you this. It's an invitation of some sort. Here." He said handing the small envelope over to Tai.
He took the envelope in his hands and looked at the front of it. It said in dark blue ink:
To: Taichi Yagami
He flipped it over and opened it slowly, noticing the hand writing looked so particularly familiar. Inside was a small index sized card, bordered with pink hearts.
Davis told him, "Mimi want me to give you this. She said you can tell your sister your answer since-"
Tai read it to himself blocking out Davis's voice. It read:
Your invited to: Sora Takenouchi's
'Surprise' Ice Skating Party.
Given by: Mimi, Yolie, and Kari.
Date: Saturday, April 6, 2002
Time: 12:00-3:30 PM
Place: New Industrial Park Ice Skating Rink
R.S.V.P.: By April 4th
"No...!" He mumbled aloud by accident.
"Something wrong, Tai?" Davis asked confused giving him a strange look.
"Huh? Oh, um, nothing! I was just thinking I need to get a gift." Tai place the invitation in his back pocket. "Gotta go, bye!" Tai ran off.
"Bye!!" Davis shouted back to him.
*How can they do this to me?! They know Sora and me haven't talked for a long time! Mimi should know since it has to do with her. Why did I ever ask her out?! Ever since I saw Sora walk in on us while Mimi and me were kissing and she had a tear down her face I started thinking more about her. Now...now I realize that was a big mistake doing that. I keep thinking back to the days when Sora and me were best friends and nobody could separate us and each time I do that I can't help but have these feelings for her. They're not just any feelings either...they're feelings of love.
*What am I going to do there anyway? Sit around and watch everyone skate because I already know Sora won't like that I'm there. I don't know how I'll be able to handle to look at her in the face knowing how much pain I've caused her. I might as well not go. Yeah! That sounds like a good idea! I won't go!*
Tai proudly smiled to himself as he began to slow down and regain his normal speed. While he was walking, he spotted something that caught his eye. It was a necklace with two hearts attached together. One was ruby and the other was garnet. The string that held it was sparkling silver. He stopped to get a closer look and peeked through the window.
*Wow...it's beautiful. Sora would love it! Hm...maybe I should buy her a gift. I mean it is her birthday soon.*
He looked down and checked his pockets to see how much cash he had. He pulled out his money he had been saving to buy something special. This was that something special. He counted his money and found out he had $80. *I hope I have enough!*
He tucked the money back in his pocket and walked over to the door. He opened it and walked in. Once he got inside, the salesclerk asked, "May I help you?"
He nodded and said, "How much is that necklace with the two hearts attached on the display over there?"
"Ah, that's sixty-five dollars." The salesclerk answered.
"Can I get that?"
"Sure," He disappeared into the back room behind him and came back holding the necklace.While putting it in a black box he asked, "Would you like it wrapped?"
"Yes, could you do that please?"
"No problem." He grabbed wrapping paper from under the counter where he was standing and took out scissors and tape. He cut the paper, wrapped it, and then taped it. He put the items away and pushed the box over to Tai.
"There you go. That'll be sixty-five dollars, please."
"Here," Tai said taking out his money, counting it out, and handing the money to the salesclerk. "Thanks a lot."
"Bye, and have a nice day!"
"You, too." Tai took the present and put his money back in his pocket. He turned around, walked to the entrance, opened the door and walked out. *I hope she likes it.*
