So what this is my, oh I don't know… third attempt at this story. I originally wrote it when I was 12 and I'm a tad bit older now (about oh lets say 3 years older, you guys can do the math) and my writing style (and thankfully grammar) has greatly changed. So this is being completely re-written for the sake of myself, seeing as I can't stand reading such a tasteless story.
Susie and Katie are 12 and the rest are 16 (including Ryo, he'll be seventeen later on)

Ryo Akiyama entered his new school. New people new classes, and a fresh batch of fan girls.
He entered his homeroom class and took a seat in the back. A girl entered the class. Ryo had to do a double take when he saw her. "Is that Rika?" Ryo muttered to himself surprisingly.
She looked exactly like her except for the fact that she looked nothing like herself, if that made any sense. She was wearing the plain school uniform. Her hair went down to her waist and had hot pink high lights that really stood out through her red hair. She walked down the rows of desks and sat right next to him.
She introduced herself politely, "Hi I'm Aray Makino what's your name?"
"I –I'm Ryo Akiyama." Ryo stuttered out, he couldn't believe it. She looked like Rika, same bone structure and facial features, and of course, her sparkling amethyst eyes. Aray's voice sounded like her, though in the voice Rika used to mimic her mother.
She smiled genuinely. "Nice name you new?"
"Yep you?" he answered quickly.
"Yeah, I moved here a couple weeks ago." Aray said taking a notebook out of her bag. She opened her mouth to say something more but the teacher interrupted before she could get a word out.
"Okay class, settle down now. My name is Mrs. Kiatta and I will be your homeroom teacher this semester." She stated.
The time flew and it was lunch.
"Hey can I sit here?" Aray asked while trying to balance her lunch on her tray with one arm.
Ryo was sitting with a group of guys from random classes.
"Oh hi Aray, sure" Ryo answered coolly, now over the shock of Aray looking and sounding like Rika, for now he was quite used to it. Aray shared the better part of his classes with him. The others were also now familiar with her, after a constant reminder from Ryo that she was not Rika.
"Some kids round here tell me you're the Digimon king. Mind if we battle?" Aray asked getting her cards out of her bag. She began shuffling. The heads around the tables turned over to the conversation.
At this point, Ryo had adopted the idea that Aray was just a 'Rika Imitator', a person dressed like Rika, acting somewhat like Rika. "Sure, why not?" Ryo answered getting out his cards from his pocket.
One of the guy's voices was heard. "Hey, Ryo and Aray are having a card battle!" They started to battle as a small crowd started to form.
"Man she's good almost as good as Rika is!" called a random voice from the crowd.
"I'm so close to wiping your butt! I win! You're good, almost as good as the Digimon Queen!" Ryo chuckled, collecting his cards from the table. The crowd started to thin.
Aray looked confused, "The Digimon queen, who's she?"
"You don't know the Digimon Queen?" asked one of the guys.
Aray shook her head. "Well, she's Ryo's girlfriend, the only one to ever beat him!" he said smirking.
"A good friend of mine." Ryo retorted casually with a faint blush.
"Cool! I've got to meet her! Is she nice?" Aray asked in a slight baby voice.
Everyone at the table laughed.
"Oh she's any thing but nice." Ryo said amused. "She's the kind of person that you have to, oh I don't know, get used to', but she is one hell of a player." He said, gesturing to the cards that were stacked next to Aray's almost empty lunch try.
"Really does she go to this school?" Aray asked, hoping that she did. She really wanted to meet this so called 'Digimon Queen' and have a go at her.
"No all my friends live in a different town. Not far from here." Ryo stated with a hint of sadness lingering in his voice.
"Not all!" Aray said cheerfully, as an attempt to make Ryo feel a little better.
"Let's go see them after school!" Aray suggested excitedly.
"I'd have to call my dad and tell him and we're not allowed to use school phones, seeing as I left my own cell at home." Ryo said in doubt.
"That's where my cell phones come in handy!" Once again she dug through her bag witch she never seems to take off her shoulder; she searched for a few minutes and finally pulled out a sliver cell phone. She winked at him and shoved it back in at the sound of the bell, signaling the end of the lunch period.
Ryo's face illuminated. "You're going to love em'." He gathered his things and he and Aray left the lunch table for the rest of the day.
A/N: I'm happier with this version. Makes more sense don't you think?
