I'm alive~!~!~! O_o; Okay, this might start off as Sorato and Michi x.o But I haven't exactly decided if I should keep it that way or get back to Mimato *hides under her teddy bear* x.x Onegai, no flames, I don't know yet. Trust me? It might turn out pretty good after all…

Disclaimer: I don't own anything Digimon. This plot idea is *slightly* and I mean slightly based on a movie that I can't say if you don't figure it out for yourself-just so the story will seem more interesting. If you do find out which movie it's SLIGHTLY based on, don't blurt it out and keep it to yourself.
Mimi's POV
I walked coolly yet slowly to show my dignity of being late for the school bus. The bus driver always waited till I get on, being that he's afraid-hmmph, who isn't? I hoisted my blue backpack closer and hopped on, hearing the door close behind me I faced my fellow students causing a silence only mimes could hear. I smirked to myself, am I good or what? I walked to my spot at the very back where my boyfriend, Tai, would be waiting for me. He wasn't there. No big, he's probably ditched school today, nerve of not taking me! I took a red ribbon out and hastily tied my long hair up, I don't know why I kept my hair long being that it was so girly, and that's just not me-at least, not anymore. I slicked my dark sunglasses back on the top of my head and plopped myself down on my regular spot, crossing my legs and turning my music on full blast. I was wearing pretty much the same-looking clothes I wore yesterday-tight jean, mini skirt with a sleeveless, tight white shirt that showed I slim figure and bellybutton, at slender arms I had black gloves that went from just beneath the sleeves and were cut off by her thumb which perfectly matched the black boots I wore on my feet.
Last but not least, was the precious necklace that Tai had given me when he asked me to be his girlfriend back in seventh grade, we were inseparable till we reached our senior year in high school-now. I've liked Tai for a really long time now, though I knew I had no chance since he was this 'tough guy' slash loner, while I was this 'Daddy's Princess' in love with the color pink. Though no one knew that except for Tai, he was the only one who cared about me unlike all those other boys that always hassled me to go out with them just because of my 'pretty face'. But one day, walking home from that seventh grade building followed by those pesky boys-I was about to scream I swear, but then Tai showed up to save me. I smiled at the thought, I could still remember how brave he was by facing those guys though they didn't really do much since they were scared of him. And when they were gone, Tai, being the gentleman he is around me, picked up my books-and asked me to be his girlfriend.
The next day I came in school, wearing this tight green dress and torn up jacket, Tai picked it out for me. He also taught me how to act tough like him, I was so proud when the teacher yelled at me for how I was dressed, and I yelled back. That was the most thrilling, most dangerous day of my 'Princess' life!
My parents were so ticked off when they saw me, though they couldn't and never will do anything about it since they were too afraid of Tai or I'll have some paranoia breakdown. They got used to it for a while, even the people at school too. I get into fights everyday but the teachers and students were so used to seeing that that they ignored it and waited for someone else to break it up like someone yelling for someone to get the knocking door. Again, Tai was the only one who'll ever care being that I've known him ever since I was twelve…well, there was this other kid that I grew up with…Speaking of Mr. Popular…
Matt's POVI spotted her at the corner of my blue eyes, staring at me when I boarded the bus and headed to my seat. I kept my eyes on her sitting at the back waiting for that boyfriend punk of hers, I smiled as I felt some hands slap my back and congratulating me for winning last night's football game. Typical. I was the school's star anyways, an A student, jock, major athlete, tough, not to mention most babe-matic guy there is to be found-okay, so I'm a bit of an egomaniac, but hey, that's what the guys expect of me. Like I had learned back in seventh grade, give the people what they want and they'll respect you. Well, sort of…I took one last look at her, Mimi, she gave me a 'What are you looking at?' glare and perked her nose up and looked away, I shot her a glare that she didn't see and sat myself down between my usual seatmates and we started recalling last night's game.
At the corner of my eyes, I caught myself looking at her again. I just can't believe I actually knew that girl since seventh grade-heck, I was her friend! We always use to hang out and stuff, she was a typical princess-cry babyish girl that loved everything that was pink and was fluffy. Weirdness. She was still cool though, I liked her a lot too, till she started hanging out with the no good Kamiya. I can't believe she agreed to being his girlfriend! She changed so much since then, wearing outrageous clothes that I know she'd never wear, carrying around this bad attitude and picking fights. I wouldn't be surprised if she started taking drugs like Kamiya did. But, that's all behind me-she's just a part of my history. I have a new life now and revolved only on one special girl-Sora.
My face lit up when I saw her step into the bus and smiled at me, though she didn't have that usual spark in her eyes that she always had when she looks at me. They almost looked like they were forced to look at me. I shook my head and waved, my hand dropped when I saw Kamiya come in with her-sure they lived across each other but I just didn't like the way he looked at her before running to Mimi.
"Hey, Matt!" Sora said and sat beside me, she was wearing my football jacket.
"Hey." I replied and placed my arm around her shoulder.
"So, we up for tonight at the burger bar?" she asked.
Every Friday night my friends and I go down to that bar downtown, 'Mantle Grove' and hang out after games or something. I nodded to Sora and she smiled and laid her head against my chest making my friends snicker and go all 'Look how cute they are' on me.
Mimi's POVDeath Mark, Tai recommended me to listen to them though I just didn't like their music-something about repeating the word 'hell' over and over just got me sick. I can't stand the music he listens to but who could blame him? He's just so cute and all! I stared out the window and watched the people walking along the streets when I felt a pair hands cover my hazel eyes.
"Guess who?" a muffled voice said.
"Hey, Tai," I giggled.
"How'd you know?" he asked and sat by me, placing his arms around me and drawing me closer.
I punched him playfully, "Well, you were never really good at lying. And that ring of yours against my cheek gave it away."
He scowled at himself and I smiled, he could be so goofy at some times. He cleared his throat trying to see if his voice would change then he twisted the ring off his index finger and, I pouted.
"Hey! You're not suppose to take that off, remember? I gave that to you to symbolize our love and you promised never to take it of unless-" my eyes widened, "Are we breaking up?"
Tai gave me a funny look, as if there were a hint of 'yes' in his eyes but it quickly faded away, "What?" he chuckled, "Doofus, of course not! I'd never take it off."
I never really liked it when he called me that, only one person has ever or can call me that. Though I don't know why I'm even bothered by it…I smiled at Tai and nodded as the bus pulled into the school grounds. Ah, FairVille High, private school-people wondered how Tai and I, including our 'groupie' made it there, I don't know about them but my parents are well, rich. I never told anyone but Tai since he has the same kind of parents, kind, loving, and so pathetic. My parents would buy me anything just to get me wearing the same clothes I used to wear, the same little 'Daddy's Princess' back into their lives. Blech, how stupid can some people get? I'm happy the way I am, being with Tai, he's my life, my-everything. I just hope it stays that way, I can't bear being left alone.
Omniscient POVThe Arawaks, FairVille High's school mascot and team name. The undefeated football team, also called the Arawaks and is the star team of the city of New York. Students filed out of the bus in their cliques, first coming out were Matt, Sora, and some other popular guys. Last and probably least to most people, were Tai and Mimi-Mimi could've sworn she saw Tai smiling at Sora as she entered the building with Matt, she nudged his rib lightly and he quickly snapped his head back and grinned like nothing happened, she didn't see anything.
"Ey, Tai!" called a boy by the staircase that stood in front of the school doors.
Tai and Mimi walked hand in hand to the boy who was surrounded with three other guys wearing the same black clothing, Tai smacked his hand on the boys', "Hey! Guys remember Mimi?"
The three other boys smiled and nodded. A chill ran up her spine that made her wanna run away from the group, she didn't feel comfortable being around Tai's friends since they always seem to know some deep secret that Tai kept from her. They started talking about some stuff about needing money from Tai to get them through the day or something, Mimi lost them and looked around from how far she can look around still being in Tai's arm. She watched the other kids in other cliques and such, laughing and having fun talking about football games and dating, going to the movies together and the dance that was coming up. She frowned, she missed talking to her friends about that kind of stuff-four years ago, her sixteen years of living she felt it had been wasted on being someone she wasn't. She suddenly felt the cold winter breeze against her bare legs and stiffened, she turned back around when she felt Tai's arm hugged her tighter.
"You okay?" he asked in concern.
"Yeah," she answered. Are you concerned, Tai?
"Yo, Tai. Is it a deal? We on then?" his friend asked and Tai turned back.
"Sure, but this is the last time, just something to get you through the day, okay?" he said and the boy nodded and Tai and Mimi walked away and into the building.
"What was that all about?" Mimi asked as they went in.
"Uh, just clearing up some business."
"What kind…?" Mimi asked suspiciously.
Tai stiffened, "Just-business. Nothing you have to worry your pretty face about." He smiled and Mimi dropped it.
The bell rang. Tai and Mimi went in the classroom together, Matt and Sora were sitting by the middle talking to that group of theirs and Mimi and Tai took their seats at the back row. A few minutes after the bell rang, the teacher walked into the room and sat himself down onto the chair and sighed.
"Okay," he said, "I'm not feeling too good today, so take it easy, guys."
Small 'Wahoo's' came from somewhere around the room which the teacher ignore and continued, "Your Algebra teacher, Mrs. Wax won't be here today since she's sick too-seems like some bug's going around here or something. And, traffic downtown hasn't settled down for the past-week now either. Though I know you kids aren't interested in that so I'll give you something to gossip about-drugs."
Tai's POVI felt like someone just hit me in head with a mallet. Did they find out? Find out that I was selling drugs to the guys at school-not to mention taking it? No, couldn't be. I loosened up and did something that I've never done before-I listened to the teacher.
"Drugs have been found along school grounds. Seems like someone of the students here are being sold marijuana b a drug dealer known to attend this school." I heard whispers going around the room. I glanced at Mimi, no, she didn't look like she knew something. I glanced at Sora, she doesn't know anything either-I glared as I noticed Matt's arm around her and grunted.
"…Now, if anyone sees this being done. Don't be afraid to tell a faculty member so we can catch these drug dealers." The teacher stood up, "Now for some good news-the juniors are holding a party for the whole school next Friday, and exactly another week from that on Saturday is our annual Winter Formal!"
I cringed, oh no, dance-Formal-Mimi! How am I going to do this? I know how much she loves going to these things and I just know she'll ask me to come…I have to break it to her lightly. I glanced over to Sora and I saw her smiling at me, so she was going to do it-break up with Matt…and be mine. But Mimi, I know she'll take it harder than Matt will, maybe if I just give her the ring and leave?
Matt's POVThe lunch bell rang and I headed out the school to look for Sora so we could eat lunch together. When I got my lunch tray and walked over to the tables, I spotted her and waved, she waved back and signaled me to sit by her and our friends. As I was walking across the lawns, four girls stopped me. I blinked and looked at their pleading faces.
"Yamato! The dance is coming up and I was wondering-" a girl asked.
"The Winter Formal' finally here, Matt wanna go together or something?!"
"No, he'll be busy going to the Formal with me, Karen!"
"Not if we're going together!"
I waved my hand in front of them, "Whoa! What are you four babbling about? You all know that I'm going out with Sora Takenouchi!"
The girls froze and stared at me like I was insane, one of them spoke, "She didn't do it? Wow, I thought she'd-she really didn't?" she tapped my shoulder.
"Sora
didn't do it yet? The whole school already knows about it and you don't?" the
other said.
I was getting fed up with their girl antics, "What the heck are you four
talking about?! Damnit, you're confusing me. Just leave me alone, okay?" I
snapped and walked away.
The three other girls started whispering and giggling while the other called out at me, "If you change your mind! I'll be wait-ing!"
I ignored her and walked on towards Sora, what were they saying? Didn't do what? And the whole school knows? I gotta talk to So-crash! I felt myself collide with someone else, a girl I think, and I fell on my butt with my lunch tray spilling over the other person that sat in front of me. I apologized.
"Sorry, didn't notice-"
"Hey, Ishida! Watch where you're going next time-ugh! My clothes are ruined now!" a girl yelled.
I felt some people beginning to look at us and looked up at who the girl was. Oh heck, out of everyone I could spill my spaghetti on-it had to be her, Mimi Tachikawa. Is she gonna loose it now! I picked up the books she dropped-muttering how sorry I was.
"Man, you don't have to go all berserk on me, doofus-I said I was sorry!" I said and looked at the books she carried. Whoa, Trigonometry, Astrology, Astrophysics, Calculus-what's up with this girl? I always thought she was well, to put in polite terms-failing. What's she doing with these kind of books? Hmmph, probably got tutoring or bullied it out from a nerd-who knows.
"Don't ever call me that," she muttered and grabbed the books from me, "Stay out of my business, Ishida, bad enough you ruined my clothes!"
I crossed my arms, "Didn't think you'd care considering how badly you're dressed. And as for whatever geek you stole those from I wouldn't give a damn. I said I was sorry and that's enough."
She fumed and I could notice the small shades of crimson turn up on her cheeks and I caught myself smiling but stopped. She grunted, "Like I said, stay out of my business if you don't want to get hurt-"
"Ooo, is that a threat?"
"Shut it!" she snapped and wiped the stuff off her clothes, "Arrgh, go mingle with your 'people' and leave me the heck alone!" and she stalked off.
I stared at her back shaking my head till she was gone, "Man, I'm never gonna figure that girl out. Although she does seem pretty cute when she's pissed-" I smack myself, "What the hell am I saying!" And I grabbed my fallen tray and walked over to Sora.
Mimi's POVThe bell rang. Lunch was over and I was walking back to class when I spotted Tai not far off at the end of the hallway-he was talking to that friend of his that I met this morning. I stopped and sneaked behind the lockers and watched as Tai handed the person a brown bag and in return got some money. Wait, why would Tai be needing money if his parents are so rich like mine?
"Ms. Tachikawa, you're late."
I quickly spun around and found the principal glaring at me-typical. I muttered something under my breathe, an apology.
"C'mon now, off to class. And don't forget your tutoring class this afternoon either." I nodded and before turning to class I glanced back-Tai was gone.
School went by with ease after that, I couldn't help back thinking at what Tai was doing a while ago. I don't know why it bothered me, weird. I checked me watch-2:40-five more minutes and I'll get out of this poor excuse of an Algebra teacher, I could teach even a jock the Pythagorean Theorem better than he can teach these people addition and subtraction! I sighed and doodled on my book. I couldn't, my book was already filled with doodles and numbers of my extreme show of boredom from my other classes, I flipped around to find some empty, anti-snoozed page when a piece of paper fell out. I bent down to pick it up, my eyes widened a bit when I saw the pink-glittery nail polish I wore on my toes. Weird, I ignored it and picked the paper-no, it was a picture. I turned it over and my eyes widened even more and my jaw slightly opened-it was a photo of me taken when I was ten, I was wearing a pink and blue dress and wore a huge grin on my vanilla cake-covered face as I was clumsily posing for the picture. I remember that day, it was a cool summer day and, of course, I was bored out of my mind! I remembered lying around the house and whining to my care-taker since my parents were away on business. I frowned, it was the day before my birthday too, tell me this isn't suppose to hurt. I kept crying in my room and shutting everyone off since no one even remembered, the phone kept ringing and I knew that it was just those pesky boys that only wanted to ask me to celebrate with them, that's the only thing I liked about those guys-they remembered my birthday.
And then it hit me on what else happened after that, I don't know why I forgot it was the only birthday I've spent with someone who cared. He was throwing rocks at my window, and when I opened it he told me to come down to the park with him. I didn't know why but I just trusted him with my life and I couldn't stand another birthday watching TV with the baby-sitter, so I ran away with him to the park…I suddenly felt a smile spread across my lips, I could still remember going to the park with Matt and being so surprised to see my friends, Tai-and my parents. Matt talked to my parents and convinced them to come back just for me, I felt so happy finally being with my parents, Matt showed them how to care, he showed himself how to care. When I blew out the candles on my cake I felt someone push my head down on it, everyone laughed, I laughed. My whole face was covered with icing, and of course, Matt had to take a picture of that! He was bursting with laughter that made me smile that day, just for him.
Rrrring! My head popped back up, my already wide eyes widened even more as the students around me started to get up and hastily run out of the classroom. I looked back at the picture, guess I've been daydreaming again-key term, dreaming, I shut my book and stuffed it in my bag, hoisting it over my shoulder and standing up. I glanced at the picture and frowned, like I said, it was a dream. And that's all it's ever going to be. I got up and walked out of the already empty classroom, only to be stopped by Tai.
Sora's POVWell, I did it. I broke up with Yamato. I walked onto the bus though he wasn't there, guess he was still by the field where I broke it to him and I guessed he probably stay there for a few hours. Gosh, I knew he loved me but not that much! I almost feel bad though yet my love for someone else can cure that. I sat at my usual seat yet Matt wasn't there to put his arm around me, I sighed and let my friends talk around me and ask me questions about how and why I broke up with Matt. Could they be more pathetic?!
My face lit up, he's here. His face beamed and his lips spread into a grin as he saw me, I pushed my bag down and signaled him to sit beside me. My friends gave me a weird look and I just shot them a glare as they turned back when he sat by me and put his arm around my neck.
"Hey gorgeous," he smoothly said and I blushed, "So, did you do it?"
I nodded, "He took it worse than I thought."
"Are you regretting it?" he asked.
"No," I replied. "Never, I'm with you now and that's all that matters. How did she take it?
Tai looked off outside and almost had a forlorn look on his face, "I feel bad, not that I did it. It's how I did it, but I think she's just taking this 'loving' thing a bit too seriously, I mean, we have been together for like four years now. And she's too nice, too, princess-y."
I laughed, "Yeah. Mimi was pretty gullible to change that 'princess' image of hers just so you'd take her."
"Stop that!" I shrank as he snapped at me. "Uh, sorry-forgive me, Sora. I didn't mean to bite your head off."
"You still love her?" I asked in fear.
"No, I-it's not that…" he hesitated, "It's just that I've been with her ever since we were little and, we shared too many memories for me to just let go. But, I love you. And that's all that matters right now, Sora, after the dance I'm sure she'll be over me."
I laid my head in his chest, "I know, Tai, I know." And the bus drove off.
Mimi's POVI can't even concentrate about where I'm heading-I just stuffed my books in my bag and ran to the bathroom. I locked the door and made sure no one was there-and cried. I've never cried this much before, that's because I never really had a reason to, I guess. I let whatever tears that were held back after these years and let them out furiously streaming down my cheeks as I sank against the wall and hugged my knees, letting each tear slip down from my chin to my knees. I can't believe he'd do this, after the four years we've shared together-did it all mean nothing to him? I knew that we probably won't be together for the rest of our lives but, I didn't know that it would end right now? When I finally found someone who cares. I gazed up teary-eyed at the ring that was wrapped around my finger.
Flashback
Tai led me into an empty hallway after the lunch bell rang, I was on my way to tutoring when he pulled me away from everyone to talk. I stood by a locker and watched Tai leaning against the wall as if fighting with himself to say something, I thought that maybe he wanted to ask me to go to the dance and probably the Winter Formal with him-I beamed, I knew he didn't really like that kind of stuff and hated it when I asked him to come so I was glad that he gave in and was gonna ask. At least, that's what I hoped.
He kept mumbling the same stuff over him and played with the ring I gave him. I smiled, "Hey, I thought you said you wouldn't take that off this morning? Are you that forgetful?" I giggled.
He had a serious look on his face, "Mimi," he whispered, "I…I meant to take it off."
I heard my books fall but I didn't seem to feel it or care, my whole body went numb, I let out a muffled laugh, "W-why would you do something like that? You know you're only suppose to take it off when-"
"It's over."
Too late, I was already collapsed on the ground on my knees and staring hard at the ground, the tears squeezing their way out of my eyes, "No, no you're kidding. I can tell when you're lying to me…"
Tai gripped my wrists, "Look at me, does it look like I'm lying? Mimi, I-I'm sorry, it's over. It's not you-it's me-"
"Don't even give me that pathetic line!" I snatched my hands back and ran away, not caring as he yelled after me.
I ran
"Why?" I stuttered, "Who's the girl?"
Tai stiffened, "How did you know?"
I spoke in the same plain voice, "Call it a hunch, so, who is she?"
My eyes widened when I saw that the hard spot on the ground that I was staring on was covered by a round object, I shivered and was almost afraid to pick it up as if it were burning hot. Tai left the burning ring in front of me and walked away, before he was completely gone he whispered her name, "Sora."

^_^ How was that? It doesn't sound that familiar yet though, and I kinda went pretty fast to the breaking up point though it'll work out. I'm not used to writing POV and such so it might not be as effective or anything, so I'm putting in some omniscient POV too. Okay, so I'm having second thoughts of not having Sorato and Michi…. Gomen ne, I know you've all had to wait for like a week and a half to red my fics but I know it'll all be worth it~! And don't mind Mimi and Matt's name with the asterisks. Just go and read the rest of them, go! O_o Review or IVIimi's not continuing~! o_o; Ja ne. n.n
