Hello! Um, this is my first fanfic. It starts off weird... And it changes ever so weirdly. Right now I'm working on the third chapter... (just to be ahead because I know I'm not all that faithful...) Hope you guys enjoy!? Oh, just so you all know, my style of writing, there's a whole lot of dialogue... it's just what I do.Haha, I've had this in my "library" for a really long time now, I'm scared to post!!! ... Here we go...

(Tai) she's trying to convert you all into a cult that represents her own dark evil within that head of hers.

I am not!

(Matt) really? I always thought you were.

(Sora) don't be rude. Of course it's not a cult. It's more of a...n environmental treaty among friends to dominate the world, right?

... I-

(Sora) just a thought.

I could erase all of you from this story at an instant and replace you all with characters from Barney. Be warned.

(Matt) on with the story my friend!

I'll Always Be

Ch. 1 Getting Introduced

One of the most meaningful, and probably the most stupid, questions Yamato had to ask his betrothed girlfriend was, "How do you tell the difference between love and friendship?" Most would say that he was cheating on Askia, his long-term friend and lover. However, he thought he was too loyal of a person to be able to be so unfaithful to anyone, but some could say otherwise. Both the girls held a firm place in his heart; he loved them and they were just as beautiful and attractive as the other. But sometimes he couldn't stop looking into her eyes.

Matt sat back in the school chair yawning. He rolled his eyes as he glared at the teacher lecture on for the rest of the half hour. Hidden in his ear was a headset, slightly nodding his head to the beat of the music, the teacher noticed his constant agreement.

"Mr. Ishida, would you like to tell the class what your point of view is about this?" He suddenly sat straight in his chair and gazed forward, clueless of what they had been discussing.

"Not really." Matt's reply came monotonously. His female classmates giggled at him. He shrugged the laughter off and looked back at the teacher.

"Ishida, please at least enlighten me about what we've been talking about for the past week?" The teacher sat down at her desk, facing all the students, and put her hands up to meet her slender face. She watched him with a bored expression as he looked ahead at the white board.

"Natural Selection and Evolution." He mumbled, merely guessing from random words he happened to pick up during past lectures he miraculously remembered.

"Yeah Ishida; everyone give him a round of applause. Pay attention Ishida, I beg you. This semester, I want you all to pass this one class." The young teacher glanced at each student. "At the least." She added under her breath. None of them were listening. The teacher suddenly stopped her lecturing having received a note from the office. "Students, I forgot. I'm glad to announce to the class that we are going to be adding another student to our amazingly intellectual class, if I may."

"Oh, let's hope it's one hot chick." The class was slaughtered in laughter hearing Josh be the one simultaneously shouting into the ears of the class. Matt rolled his eyes; only seeming intrigued by hearing there would be something new to his every day life.

"So, what sex is it going to be?" Vincent smirked suggestively, looking at Hotaru, a girl in the class, and winking at her after checking her out. She shivered at his odd glare; his blazing hair didn't make her too comfortable either. Yes, this was definitely a pervy class. The teacher rolled her eyes behind her thick glasses.

"SHE is actually here right now. Class, welcome Takenouchi Sora." The class let out ramblings and unpredictable comments. Matt watched as the new student stood at the front of the class, clueless what to do. He noted that she was tall, and seemed like the shy type. "Sora, why don't you take a seat between Vincent and Hotaru?" The teacher grinned seeing Vincent's reaction to the separation. Matt smiled welcomingly as Sora passed him to sit next to the pair. Sora twirled her hair and looked at the teacher as she resumed to teaching the lesson. The new student was different from all of the others that Matt knew. She was very cute and it would seem that she was very popular, even with her reserved smile.

"Owe, owe! Sexy chick!" Josh was heard in a whisper. Sora could tell that the comment was directed to her, but she merely continued to look up at the front of the class… almost, interested. Class couldn't be more boring. The blond snuck a few glances at the new girl once in a while. Her eyes rarely wandered beyond the board and her notes. How she could bare to sit for so long, acting interested (If she was acting at all) was a wonder. Matt walked out of class instantly as the bell rung for the end of class. The teacher yelled out into the hall, calling Matt back into the class. A moan could be identified as the stunning blond's just before his tall stature walked in. She asked Matt, who was too eager to leave her class, to escort Sora to her next class. Matt was a popular guy and was always gentle towards people; he didn't hang as low to be 'teacher's pet' but was highly favored. Deciding not to argue, Matt waited for Sora as she picked up her book and exited the class. Even for being new to the school, the girl seemed extremely slow.

"What's your next class?" He asked, seeming completely unwilling to assist her.

"Um, Mr. Smith I believe it is. English teacher…" Sora looked down at the paper in her hands that indicated her classes. Matt seemed frustrated.

"You think? The schedule says it flat out for you." He stood next to her and looked at her schedule. "Huh, yeah. You have Mr. Smith for second period English, but he doesn't teach second period."

"Oh really? What do I do then?" Sora asked timidly. Matt saw his girlfriend waiting for him outside of band class. He touched Sora's hand by accident and pulled away.

"Sorry, hey, I need to talk to someone and I'll be right back to help you alright?" Without recognition, he left to Askia. Sora raised her eyebrow and watched him hug a beautiful girl waiting by the lockers. He spoke to her, kissed her intently, and returned to Sora. "Come on, I'll take you to the counseling office, they should be able to fix your classes." Sora smiled tenderly as he guided them to the office. "I'm Matt by the way." He grinned. Sora finally saw a loosening side of him. They shook hands, "Matt, good to meet you. As you probably already know, I'm Sora."

"Yeah, that's a cute name as well." Sora blushed slightly and silently followed Matt into the front office. She glanced at the back of his figure. She reddened lightly at his strong, slender body with a head of gold.

"Hi, how can I help you two?" The counseling secretary smiled at them. Sora held back, and waited for Matt to say something. But he was yet to say anything.

"I can't help you do everything, Sora." He smiled seeming to tend her into preparation of being able to be independent. Sora flushed dimly and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Right, uh." She paused and turned to the paper in her hands. Matt poked her in the ribs. "OK! Uh, it says here I have Mr. Smith for English second period, and Matt says he doesn't teach second period." Sora instantly shut her mouth, resisting from saying anymore.

"Hum, and you know what? Matt is right, he doesn't teach then. Let me see what I can do about this. Do you want to take a seat? And Matt, you should head to class, thank you for bringing in this sweet girl." She smiled and excused him.

"Hey, I'll see you later." Matt shot her one of his sexy grins, causing her to melt inside. He saw a small spark in her eye and realized that he had accidentally given her the smile he only gives to Askia. He instantly burst away, resisting falling deeper into a misunderstanding. Sora knew he was already with a girl, but his kindness and melting smile threw her into him. She sighed and leaned on the backrest of the chair.

"He's a kind young man, that boy Matt." The counselor looked at Sora, while her stubby fingers still typed away. "He's been in this office oh too many times to remember. He's a nice boy, he's brought in many lost kids here." She smiled and returned to her computer. Sora watched the lady type while humming her own sweet tune.

'Yeah, like that's supposed to help. I bet she doesn't even know he has a girl friend.' Sora thought and put her legs on the seat of the chair, hugging them. 'I want to go home. I hate this place already. Why did my parents have to pull me away from my friends?' She sighed and faced the wall, doing nothing but starring. The secretary sent Sora to another class, changing her entire schedule. She entered the class late, as she had the class before, and she was looked down upon. She came into an International Honors class, with students who were deeply concerned about their education, and hated disturbances; mega geeks you might say. She could tell that she wasn't very welcomed to this particular class, and should stay quiet throughout the period. Sora sat in the assigned seat, and felt long and despised glares fired at her. She ran out of the class, and stood in the hall trying to find the next room. Matt was with Askia, but saw that Sora needed help again. Sora fidgeted with the paper, and nearly threw it to the ground when Matt approached her.

"Hey." He said coldly, which still gave the girl a melting sense. Sora looked up at him, and dropped to the ground, pushing down her skirt. "Uh…"

"I hate this place." She retorted monotonously. Matt smiled and held out a hand to help her up.

"Come on. What's so bad about this place? I mean, at least the people here are decent." He said as Sora grabbed his hand tightly.

"And you're saying where I came from before this, the people weren't decent?" Sora asked, her grip loosening. Matt chuckled.

"Right, that's what I meant." He pulled her to her feet. "What's your next class? I'll help you get there." Sora looked carefully at his expression.

"Are you sure? Don't you have a girlfriend that would…" she was interrupted by Matt's strong and stern look that she noticed he had thrown at her with viciousness.

"Askia trusts me. I trust Askia. Don't bring that up again." He smiled shortly and glanced at Sora's new schedule. Sora looked at him questioningly, but let it go. "Oh fun, you have math with me." Matt looked up and noticed Sora looking at the floor thoughtfully.

"Huh what?" Sora said smiling timidly as she faced Matt again. "Math… you… ok then." Matt noticed her stuttering, and tried to ignore it. Sora looked at the passing ground as she followed Matt down the hall. 'He can't know that I'm starting to fall for him. He's got a girlfriend, and he'd be pissed if he knew! Ah, my inner feelings released. Holy shit, I'm falling for him!?' Matt looked back at Sora every few moments, and always saw her with her head posed looking towards the ground.

"Something interesting down there?" He managed to ask, 'Wow, that was a retarded question' he thought. He hit her arm lightly. "Put your head up. It's no harm to let people see your face." He smiled. Even though it wasn't his deeply enchanting grin, Sora found him truly unbelievably attractive. She raised her head as he told her to, and Matt saw her full face for the first time. He couldn't help it, but he thought of her as simply beautiful. He quickly turned away and thought of Askia. Sora saw him turn, and quickly felt the forced rejection. Chills traveled through her; even though she tried not to release it, she shivered crazily. Matt saw and didn't mention anything, even though he was concerned about her. He tried not to look at her, but his concern overpowered his will. "You okay? Not cold in here or anything." Sora forced a smile and refrained from talking at all.

'Why does he have to be so nice?!' She screamed at herself and bit her lip to sort of punish herself. "I say it again, I hate this place." Matt looked back at her expression and saw no regret of completely insulting her new home. "If I actually had a social life here, maybe it wouldn't be so terribly agonizing and heart throbbing. Maybe I would even smile!" She let out a sarcastic sigh. "And maybe I could become a social reject and my parents will send me back! Brilliant!" By this time, Matt was at a total stop several steps behind her and staring at the girl. Sora noticed and looked back. "I talk to myself to gain attention. Attention usually comes from myself." Matt smiled and continued. She had a way of making him smile constantly, her mere presence made him at ease. They entered the classroom like friends of many years, which spread suspicion upon Matt's fan girls. Askia, being Matt's girlfriend, wasn't very popular with the other girls. He had a large mass of fan girls merely growing off of him. His popularity had grown immensely after the debut of the Teen-age Wolves. The fan girls watched as Matt and Sora talked throughout math class. This particular class was full of professional gossipers and with a mouth with the strength unimaginable. Instantly, the word got out that Matt and Sora were getting along slightly too well.

Lunch came by, and Matt invited Sora to join his friends at the 'reserved' table. "Askia, this is my new friend, Sora." He introduced with much enthusiasm. His girlfriend turned slightly red for an unknown reason, and smiled sweetly.

"Hi, Askia, Matt's girlfriend." She put her hand out; to Sora, it seemed that she was trying to display her hand to gawk over. Sora ignored that and shook her hand.

"Hi. Sora, a nobody with a social status of zero for the moment being." She grinned foolishly. She might as well make some interesting impression on anyone and everyone. Sora looked at her, she was beautiful. It wasn't hard to see why Matt was with her; jealously spilled throughout her. 'Whatever,' she thought; it wouldn't be as if she would have to compete against her. Askia went to get lunch and left Matt and Sora to talk. He gawked behind the redheaded beauty.

"Obsessive fanatics ETA five seconds." Sora flashed a glance behind her before she felt a hand grasp her wrist and a pulling sensation. She looked back at Matt who seemed too used to the fact girls loved him. She gaped behind them and saw a mass of girls picking up the pace towards them, actually more of Matt. She laughed at the thought that he went through this merely every day. "What are you laughing at?" He asked as he began climbing a wall of the school. He helped her up and watched the girls turn confused. "Love that every time." He chuckled cutely. She unconsciously stared at him as he continued smiling down at the fussed fans. He looked back at her, and she startled.

"You go through this everyday, I suppose." Sora tried to cover up. Matt looked at her, momentarily staring. She amazed him in some way.

'Think twice on what you're thinking.' Matt slapped himself mentally over and over. 'Remember, Askia is betrothed to you already. Woo I'm getting laid soon! The hell, I'm a perv.'

"Looks like you're thinking hard." Sora laughed softly at him. His eyes narrowed.

"Its better to think than to do nothing and stare at people." He eyed her accusingly.

"Shush." She got up smiling at him. She helped him up and accidentally looked into his beautiful azure eyes. She let go of his hand half way up, and dropped Matt onto the concrete of the school.

"Geez, rejection," He stood and rubbed his bottom.

She farced a smile and looked over the ledge to distance herself from his amazing blues. "Well, they're gone." She looked back and her gaze fell onto his eyes again. Sora had never seen such clear blue eyes.

"What's with you?" He asked, seeing her in a daze. Sora just smiled.

"Hey Matt, that you up there?" They heard a scream from below. Sora looked over the edge and saw a bushy headed boy climbing the wall. "Oh, oops. Hi there." The brunette saw a red headed beauty looking down on him. He gave her a large grin.

"Hey Tai. What up?" Matt made an appearance next to Sora and gave his friend a hand and pulled him with them.

"I was just about to rat you out to your faithful fan girls." He shot out another foolish smirk. "But who's this?" They both looked at Sora, which made her shiver.

"Sora, she's new here today. Apparently she's anti-social and is facing deep agony in her current life here at school." Matt grinned at her and then looked back to Tai to see his reaction.

"Oh, cool." Tai said coolly and saw Matt watching him carefully. Tai was an extremely flirtatious guy, who tried to woo as many females as possible. Matt was simply waiting for his long-time friend to start hitting on the sweet new girl. "So Askia and I were talking about seeing a movie this Friday." He said in a phony voice, putting up a convincing act.

"Really, well you two go ahead. I've got that volunteering to do, so you enjoy. No making moves on my girl though." Matt made a stern glare and put a finger up to his face. "I'm kidding man, you know I trust you." Sora sat down and watched the boys talk.

"Wow, this is extremely interesting. It's like a five star movie. Woohoo!" She whispered to herself as her fist launched into the air, trying to provide interest for herself at the least. She poked her fingers together and started humming.

"What are you doing?" Sora looked up, seeing both boys eyeing down on her.

"I felt neglected." She gained more curious glares. "I'm allowed to do what I want aren't I?" The girl shouted in her own defense.

"She's all yours man." Matt laughed, patting Tai on the shoulder as he jokingly took a step backwards.

"Yeah, so Sora. Want to go see a movie with me later?" Tai inched an arm around her slender shoulders.

"Smooth." Her fiery eyes blinked at the brunette's obviousness. "I'm busy unpacking and such. Maybe the next blue moon."

"Sure!" Sweet curves found their ways across the lips of the two teens silently laughing at Tai. He began rambling loudly to himself about his plans for his upcoming date.

"Is he always… so… dumb?" Sora questioned while she sat simply on the cement roof to the school building. Being joined by the gorgeous blond, she smiled.

"He was born stupid." Matt shrugged indifferently.

Yes. I am aware we are born stupid. Hope you enjoyed! Please review!!!!!!!!!

WUAHAHAH! little bunny foo...
