Chapter 1

Izzy walked into his first period class, which was empty. I'm really early. I guess that I can get some sleep before class starts, Izzy thought as he yawned. He placed his backpack on his desk and stretched his arms. God, I'm so tired, he rubbed his eyes. He was about to sit down when he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

"Izzy? You're early for class," Mimi walked over to him. Even though she was wearing the frumpy, green uniform, Izzy thought she looked hot.

"Yeah, and so are you," he looked at her as she sat on the desk next to him. "Looks like we have some time to ourselves before class starts," Izzy said.

"Well, what do you want to do?" Mimi twirled her hair flirtatiously.

"What I've been dying to do for the longest time," Izzy pushed his knapsack off his desk and shoved his desk right next to Mimi's. He then walked over to her and leaned her against the desks.

"I thought you'd never get to it," she smiled as she pulled him down with her. They kissed as Izzy slid his hand up her thigh. Mimi snaked her hands around his neck and tugged at his hair. Izzy broke from the kiss and began nibbling on her neck.

"Oh, Izzy!" she gasped in delight. "Izzy...Izzy..." she screamed his name, louder each time. "IZZY!"


Izzy jumped up from his seat. "Gahhh!"

"Sorry," Mimi let go of his face. "You really are tired. I shouldn't have woken you up."

"Huh?" Izzy was confused.

"Well, I saw you with your head down and I called you but you didn't respond. I thought you were dead, so I picked up your head to check. You're just really tired," Mimi hugged his head. "I'm so happy you were just sleeping! Don't you ever scare me like that again! You should go to bed earlier instead of staying up all night with your computer," Mimi blabbed on.

That was embarrassing. I just hope I didn't say or do anything stupid in my sleep this time, Izzy thought as Mimi kept talking. He flashed back to the camping trip he and the other boys took during the summer. Thank god, Matt was the only one who fell witness to it. Although Matt was sworn to secrecy, he also never let Izzy live it down.

"And that is why you should turn off your laptop and go to bed at night," Mimi concluded.

"Right," Izzy said. Like my laptop is to blame for keeping me up all night, every single night. Mimi sat down in her seat when class started. Izzy's mind wandered elsewhere though. There is no way a pretty, popular, and sweet girl would like someone awkward like me. It sucks even worse with February 14 coming up. Stupid commercial holiday. She's going to get a lot of stuff from other guys, she's going to forget about me. Suck it up, Izumi. That's life.

Mimi looked over at Izzy, who was struggling to keep his head up. He looks so tired and miserable. I wonder what's going on with him, she thought as she chewed on her pen.

She wanted to just stroke his hair as he fell asleep, but this was school. Besides, she wasn't sure if Izzy would like that or not. She asked Sora about him (without giving herself away) , but that conversation only led her to think that Izzy wasn't really interested in girls or dating yet. He never went on a date with anyone, talked about any of his crushes, or anything of the sort. From what Sora said, Izzy never attended any dances and he avoided any events that had romantic tones in them. Even Joe had a girlfriend or two. Izzy, on the other hand, was less of a people person. If it weren't for all the adventures the Digidestined had, Izzy and Mimi would probably have never crossed paths. He was always wrapped up in whatever he did on his laptop, indifferent to the world around him. Sure, he didn't spend as much time on the computer like before but still. Mimi glanced over at Izzy again. His head was down and he was quietly talking in his sleep. She strained to hear what he was saying.

"Mimi...you can stop looking at me like that. I promise I'll get some sleep tonight," he muttered.

"How did you know?" Mimi jumped in her seat.

"I just do," Izzy slurred. Mimi could hear his deep breathing as he fell back to sleep.

Mimi just couldn't pay attention in class. She peeked at Izzy from the corner of her eye, then looked back at the front of the class. She tried to focus on the lecture as the teacher droned on about the symbolism in a couplet poem. Geez, I'm about to fall asleep myself, Mimi yawned and turned to steal a glance at Izzy as she did that, the bell rang.

"Gahhhh! What time is it?" Izzy was startled by the loud bell as Mimi giggled. She slung her tote bag on her shoulder and pulled Izzy by the arm.

"You're coming with me," she said as Izzy let her drag him out of the classroom.

"Where are you taking me?" he panicked. I hope this isn't some sort of trick.

"You'll find out soon enough," she winked at him, almost seductively.
