Beauty - song by Dru Hill

: sorry, didn't notice you there
but then again you didn't notice me
so we'll remain passers by
until the next time we speak :

Matt was late going to class. Studying for finals kept him up all night, so he was running to class, hoping not to be late for his first exam. As he turned the corner, he felt someone else bump into him, and they both fell onto the ground. Matt quickly picked up his books and looked up to see who he bumped into.

It was Mimi.

Matt couldn't take his eyes off her. She also looked up, as he said sorry to her. She said it was alright, and asked him what class he was going to, and he said science. He never noticed her walking by, but found out that her class, history, was right near his class. They walked together, as they heard the late bell, then separated.

: i hope that i can make you mine
'for another man steals your heart
and once your beauty is mine
i swear we will never be apart :

While taking his exam, Matt couldn't take his mind off of his old friend. He noticed she had changed.

A lot.

She doesn't seem so whiny like before, but more mature and most of all much more prettier. He racked his brain, while trying to concentrate on science, but Mimi kept on coming into his mind.

: walks by me every day
her and love are the same
the woman that's stolen my heart
and beauty is her name
i'm hoping i can make you mine
'for another man steals your heart
and once your beauty is mine
i swear we will never be apart :

Finally, after the exam, he met her again while they went to their lockers. Mimi said she was glad to talk to him again. He asked if they could talk like this more often, and she asked if he was going to the graduation party at the end of the year. He said he was invited, but since she's going, he said he'd go too.

: it didn't take much time to think about
but i didn't want to move too fast
'cause i knew that when i saw you again
that i wouldn't wanna let you pass
'cause my eyes have seen the glory
in the coming of your smile
so i swear if you ever come 'round again
please stay for a while :

At the party, Matt looked for Mimi. He saw her sitting on the couch, trying to comfort a crying Sora. He walked up to them, and asked what's wrong. They both looked up to him and told him that Tai broke up with Sora during the party, and now she feels really bad. Sora then asked to leave, as Mimi offered to accompany her to her house. As they left, Matt asked Mimi if they could give catching up another try later on. Mimi gave him her word.

: walks by me every day
her and love are the same
the woman that's stolen my heart
and beauty is her name
i'm hoping i can make you mine
'for another man steals your heart
and once this beauty is mine
i swear that we'll never be apart :

After the party, Matt couldn't sleep. He lay on his bed, just thinking of Mimi. Ever since they bumped into each other, she stayed in his mind.

: you are so beautiful
when i'm down and out
i never seem to get tired
tired of your love
'cause you are wonderful
tou're wonderful
i'm just dying to make you see
anything you want inside your heart
you can find right here inside of me :

Finally, the next day, Matt called her house. Mrs. Tachikawa picked up the phone and told Matt that she was at the park. He thanked her and raced to Mimi's location. He looked for her, as he heard her laughing. He walked up closer to where she was, and saw her with Izzy, having a picnic in the middle of the park. Then saw them lean closer to each other and kiss. Matt stumbled backwards, and sat on the ground.

He took a deep breath and sighed.

: walks by me every day
her and love are the same
the woman that's stolen my heart
and beauty is her name :
