A/N: Hi, it's my second story/based on Mimi and Tai as the mains, I like them together that's why, or Sora/Tai. Harhar, anyways, here's the first chapter.

Chapter One- Into the Public.

"Mom, that's no fair, you know I like where I'm at right now!" I yelled trying not to burst into tears.

"I'm sorry hun, but we have to, we can't afford paying more for your school sweetheart." She tried making me feel better by rubbing my back but then I shook my shoulder so she can let go and I ran off in my room for just one last view of it before I moved into our new apartment.

Mimi Tachikawa, is my name I'm a junior in Odiaba High School now. I had the best of everything, clothes, a big house, great friends, the beauty and a "boyfriend" well not really, but people consider him as my boyfriend. I loved my pink strawberry, blonde streaked hair looked with my cinnamon eyes.

As I approach our car I looked at our house on last time, and sighed going in the car.

"Mimi, you'll love it there! It's beautiful and just simple." My dad mentioned starting the car as I replied in a groan.

While we we're driving to our new home I gazed upon the views of our new place, nothing looked like familiar to me, sadly. It was a pretty long ride, but after taking a nap in the car it went by fast. I grabbed my stuff and went inside our apartment, it was small like really small, it wasn't even half the size of our house. I went in my room and I noticed how faded the color of the wall was and simply I just dealt with it. I started unpacking putting pictures on the shelfs and hanging clothes in the closet. By the time I finished unpacking most of my stuff it was dinner time.

"Mimi, how do you like it?" My mom asked, I responded with a shrug and kept eating.

"You'll be used to it, I'm sorry that you don't like this but it's all we can get, and sleep early for tomorrow!" My mom explained as I ignored her.

After getting ready for tomorrow to arrive I layed down staring at the pictures, 'They don't understand, I miss them already, tomorrow's going to suck big time.'

The next day came by with flying colors as my alarm went up, I rubbed my eyes and took a shower. After that I wore this formal pink flower dress, a cardigan and flats, then I ran into the car. I didn't really talk to my Mom when she drove me to school, but I needed to focus on the route so I can walk home. After I arrived to school I waved bye to my mom and walked towards my locker, 'E67' and it was right there in front of my face as I stopped walking. After putting my stuff away I noticed how people kept staring at me.

"Hey rich girl, for someone who probably buys a lot of clothes, you surely don't know what style is!" A guy yelled as I felt my body hot from embarrassing since people laughed. When the bell rang, I ran to my first class which was, Math, Ms. Toro. I stood there as I waited a while for her to arrive.

"Class, calm down, we have a new student, Tachikawa Mimi." I stepped foward in the class, looking at the walls instead of meeting eyes with anyone.

"Please, take a seat next to Melanie." She pointed as at a black long-haired girl with amber eyes, I nodded and walked towards the seat next to hers.

"Hi, I'm Melanie. Call me Mel." She smiled as I smiled back and said, "Mimi, but call me Meems if you like!"

"You seem like you don't know how to dress properly." She chuckled and added, "You must be those rich kiddos huh?" I nodded and felt my face red.

"Aw, well it's okay. Say, let me see your scheduele." I handed her my scheduele and her eyes winden up but then smirked, "Seems like we have every class together. That's weird. But it's oka-"

"Carisho, stop talking or else you'll have detention." She shrugged and nodded but wrote a note saying, "Don't worry about not fitting in, just be yourself. (:" I smiled and sighed in relief.

After first period, I walked with Melanie to English with Mrs. Karuse, I noticed how differently she dressed compared to how I did, she wore a long sleeve, shorts and shoes. After walking for about two minutes, she introduced me to this red-head guy, "Izzy, this is Mimi. Mimi, this is Izzy, he's known as the Smart Guy." She mentioned as I shook his hands.

"My, Melanie why couldn't you be that nice when we met!" He exclaimed, as I raised a brow, "When Melanie and I first became friends she squeezed me with a hug." Melanie and I laughed as class began, I noticed while taking notes Melanie fell asleep in her own little land as I poked her, trying to wake her before Mrs. Karuse noticed. She woke when the bell rang, causing her to jump. After that we went onto art, where I met Joe.

"Jooooe, this is- You know what, go introduce one another, I'm tired of repeating myself, not my thing.

"I'm Mimi, pleasure to meet you." I smiled and shook his hand before I went and sat in the middle of them.

"I'm Joe, you must be the new girl, people kept talking about you, mostly because you dress differently." He said, causing my to sigh and plaster a fake smile on my face.

Art was fun, knowing that we can draw anything we please. I did okay, but I wasn't satified on how it turned out, it was two people on a mountain but then the people looked kinda unusual in my perpective. After that was over, we went to lunch, hopping to my locker than Melanie's we walked towards the table, where there we're more new faces.

"You know the drill Meems, go introduce yourself."

"Hi I'm Mimi." I said, smiling as I sat down next to Melanie.

"I'm Matt."

"Takeru, but call me TK"

"Yolie.

"Ken."

"Kari."

"Davis."

After they all introduced one another to me, I noticed this guy who I thought was extremely attractive, he was tan, muscular, and he had dark brown hair that matched with his dark brown eyes. I whispered in Melanie's ear and asked, "Who's that?"

She grinned, "Him? That's Tai, Kari's brother, and my cousin." After she said that my eyes widen up and my jaw was open, "Cousin?" She nodded and laugh, "But don't hit on him, he has a girlfriend."

Then Matt added, "A bitchy girlfriend actually." My face was expressionless as I noticed that his girlfriend was right there walking towards him, she had orange hair and orange-red eyes. After that they started walking towards the table.

"Hi cousin, nice to know that you visited our table after weeks." Melanie said, glaring at him.

"Well I wanted to say hi to the new girl, I'm Taichi, call me Tai." He smiled and I responded, "Mimi, but you can call me Meems." After that, I noticed how his girlfriend was glaring at me.

"You must be those rich snobs." She said, I felt offended and I felt bad.

"Hey shut it, leave her alone." Davis exclamed defending me.

"Whatever, come on babe, let's go eat over there." He shrugged as she pulled him to another table with her friends.

"She's like that, don't mind her." Kari mentioned biting her sandwich.

"She has not right to talk to you like that." Ken said, handing me a bag a chips.

"Thank you." I opened the chips as I thought to myself, 'I didn't do anything, people these days can be so judgemental.'

After lunch ended I walked to the last class which was Japanese 3, with Mr. Ceri, we had it with Tai and Matt.

"Your girlfriend better shut her negativity towards Mimi or I'll break her neck." Melanie explained as I looked down on my stuff.

"Calm down, Mel." Matt whispered.

"She's like that Mel, you know that! Mimi, I'm sorry. My girlfriends like that towards girls, I'd love to be your friend though." Tai murmured as my face was a little red.

"Uh, huh. I'd love that too." I looked smiling at time trying to keep my cool.

"You four, pay attention or else you guys will get detention." Mr. Ceri yelled, as we looked at other directions.

After that, I got a note from Tai with his number on it and I grinned putting in my pocket. When school was done I started walking alone until TK, Matt, Melanie and Yolie started running towards me.

"Hi guys?"

"Don't you live at those apartments like near here?" Yolie asked as I nodded.

"Great then we'll all be walking buddies." TK added with a smile.

While we we're walking I noticed how Matt and Melanie we're far behind us smiling and talking as I had a clueless expression on my face. I poked TK on the arm and muttered, "Are they like together?" He shook his head and responded, "They're really close friends, eversince 2nd grade." I worded, "Oh" and kept walking, until my phone was vibrating.

"h-hello, this is Mimi."

"Oh, so formal. It's Tai, what's up?" my body was shaking.

"Oh, hi. I'm on the elevator with Yolie, TK, Matt and Melanie, you?"

He chuckled and replied, "Tell them I said hi and I'm home, doing nothing."

I told everyone Tai said hi and they yelled back, "Tai, hi!"

He laughed, 'Ah, his laugh is so cute.' "So Meems, how'd you like to hang out this weekend?"

Right when he asked everyone left but Yolie and my body froze and I replied, "I don't know yet, shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?"

"So? She's so clingly sometime, well tell me what your answer is on Friday. I gotta go, see you." After he hung up my cheeks turned pink.

"You okay Mimi?" Yolie asked as I nodded in response.

When the elevator stopped again, I noticed that me and her had the same stop. After walking Yolie waved as I unlocked the door. I smiled at my mom who was on her laptop and she smiled back.

"Someone had a good day." She mentioned as I nodded, "I met so many great people, anyways I'm going to go upstairs, bye!" I ran to my room changing into some casual clothes and jumped onto my bed, after lying down I recieved a text message,

"Meems, tomorrow try looking twice as better than today. So people can leave you be, and you wanna go shopping with Yolie, Kari and I? Girls day out thing, k bai(:"

"Sure, I'd love to go, and I'll try. Btw, thanks for being my friend Mel, means a lot to me."

":D No biggie girl, haha."

After doing some homework and eating dinner, I looked out my window gazing upon the cresent shape moon and tiny stars until I got tired, 'Today was good, I hope that tomorrow's better. I sure do Haru though, oh well.' After thinking about everything I went to sleep thinking about how tomorrow's going to be like.
