I remember the day like the perfect yesterday, the setting of the sun and the scent of the air. The way my hair annoyingly kept flying into my face as me and my best friend watched the clouds go by. Every now and then screaming out the words, "Oh my gosh look that cloud looks like a cute little bunny!" I will admit the fact that I use to be very preppy back then. But I wouldn't change it for a thing.

The perfect summer day to a perfect event, my friend tugs at my pink tank top.

"What is it Mimi" I remember asking

"What's that big truck doing there?" she asked pointing towards a large moving truck parked in front of the supposed 'empty' house next door.

"I don't know let's go and find out" I said in my stupid adventurous tone. I remember our ten year old selves running across the grassy field and towards the large truck. Back then that truck seemed like such a giant.

"Mom! Mom!" I yelled running back inside my own home, Mimi closely behind me.

"What is it?" she asked

"What's that big truck doing at the Davidson's house" I asked, she shook her head at me

"It's not the Davidson's house anymore, it's the Kamiya's" That last name still haunts me to this day, sometimes I wish I had never met...that...that...

"Who are the Kamiya's?" I asked, my mom spun me around so I'd face him, that boy from so long ago. His wild brown hair still fresh in my mind and the way his chocolate eyes stared into my own still brought chills down my spine.

"Those are the Kamiya's" My mom said pointing also to two adults and a small little girl.

I soon found myself only thinking about the Kamiya's, especially there son. It was weird, the way both me and Mimi fell for him at the same time. It was like, a whole new world had opened to me and I didn't even realize it. I started spending a lot of time with him, but Mimi didn't like it and I didn't want her to feel bad, so I stopped spending time with him, and soon forgot all about him, until today, until I saw him again. And once again, I'm sure the cycle of friend against friend will begin again.

"Oh my god! Sora!" the voice of my perky best friend filled the High School Hallways. I immediately regretted walking towards her.

"Hey Mims" I said, she smiles at me, her lips shinning a brilliant color of pink into my eyes. I swear this girl has gotten self absorbed since we were ten, I'm quite surprised we've even remained friends for so long. Were so different, she's the head cheerleader, every guy wants to date her, loves fashion, shopping, oh god I could go on. But obviously, I'm not going to. Me? I'm the mellow one, always seem to be doing the logical thinking and does a bunch of sports, but my favorites are soccer and skate boarding. I'm still not all that good at the skateboarding, but I'm steadily learning. But anyways...

"Did you see the new guy?" she asks as we walk towards our locker together. I bend down, my long auburn hair falling over my shoulders as I open our locker.

"No, why?" I ask curiously. I suddenly take note on the skimpy outfit Mimi's wearing. A pink tube top a short white skirt showing off her long pale legs and ending at her feet with 1-inch black heals. She flips her wavy brown hair to the side, as she speaks faster. I roll my eyes at her and then look down at my own outfit, suddenly letting out a loud sigh as I compare with her again. My long, stripped black and white shirt against her pink tube top. My ripped jeans against her beautiful white skirt, my crappy black converse against her designer black heals. My long flat, hair covered up in a stripped black and white hat against her beautiful luscious curls. Her make-up applied face, and my non make up applied face. Her designer Gucci purse, and my 'designer' skateboard in my right hand. The obvious winner, Mimi.

"And I just don't know what to do!" Mimi finishes, I quickly blink, realizing I had not been paying any attention at all.

"Uh, yeah" I say nodding

"Uh yeah what? Sor, I'm asking for your opinion here! I don't know what to do!" she says practically begging on her knees. Now this is where it gets freaky, I still get freaked out whenever I do this, but I guess its the price for knowing someone too well.

"Well, this guy, he probably just doesn't notice you because he's surrounded by a bunch of other girls that he doesn't really know how to get rid of. You should find a way to get him alone and then have a nice chat with him. It's that simple babe" I say, sometimes surprising myself with my own confidence.

"Oh thank you thank you Sora! C'ya around 'kay!" she says running down the stairs. I sigh watching her leave, grateful to know that she didn't realize that I wasn't paying any attention. It's a weird relationship with me and Mimi. It use to be talk about clothes, but suddenly, after my dad died in that car crash. I haven't been the same and completely changed my so called "Perky" look. I'm glad to, I honestly don't wanna go around yelling out the words, "O-M-G" instead of the actual, "Oh my god!" Every time some girl does that, it trigger me angry. Don't ask, it just does.

I begin to walk towards my boring as hell Health class. It's a pretty pointless class if you asks me, as I enter I notice a familiar hairdo in the middle of the ocean of heads on the seats.

"Nice of you to join us Ms. Takenouchi" my teachers says, I look over at her. A sudden visualization of a bread stick coming to mind. She was a short teacher, her head seeming larger than her body, every time I look at her I think of a breadstick, which reminds me that I'm pretty hungry.

"Go sit down Sora!" she yelled, I sigh sitting down at my usual seat.

"Well students, we have a new...uh...student today" my teacher says pointing towards a tall wild haired boy. His eyes suddenly locking onto mine, that's when I remembered. That ten year old encounter...

"Tai..." I whispered under my breath. I suddenly felt my heart leap out of my chest as I saw him sit next to me. His tanned skin bringing familiar summer days back to my memory, but does he still remember me? I found it hard to concentrate on my own work without at least taking one quick glance towards him.

"So miss perky, gone the skater way?" he asks suddenly speaking up. I jump at his sudden words

"Um, yeah, you remember me?" I ask

"Yep, Sora, how can I not you were my only friend back then, then you just disappeared, and I lost touch with you. Remember that?" he asks, still looking at the board and not at me.

"I know, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. My friend, and..."

"Funny, I thought we were friends too" he says slamming his notebook shut, I feel my heart shatter as I watch him walk away from the classroom along with everyone else as class was dismissed. I grab my skateboard and drag it upstairs with me.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid" I continue saying as I run towards my chemistry class, and just the perfect person to be there.

"Not again" I whisper to myself watching Tai groan a long with me as I sit next to him. Great, another hour of complete ignorance.

"Tai? Please...I'm sorry I didn't wanna hurt you, I really didn't. And I'd change it again if I could I'm so incredibly sorry" I write at the corner of my notebook paper. I quickly rip it out and pass it towards him. He shakes his head and gives it back to me, without reading it.

"Please!" I suddenly whisper throwing the piece of paper at his head, he stares at me angrily while opening up the note. I let out a small smile as I witness a smile coming out from the corner of his mouth, but suddenly he throws the note back at me and shakes his head, ignoring me and continuing to look at the board. I stare at him angrily and feel my insides begin to burn with anger for this boy.

"Why won't he listen!" I scream in my head. The class was soon over, but it felt like an eternity for me before I could get out of there. I decided to avoid Tai for as long as I could for now, realizing that he wouldn't accept my apology just yet. I spot Mimi running towards me and smile, happy to see a friendly face.

"Hey Mimi" I smile, greeting her

"So? Do you have the new guy in any of your classes?" she asks jumping up and down. I groan, forgetting Mimi's 'crush' on the new guy.

"I really hope you don't mean..."

"TAI!" Mimi suddenly screams out to him, yup, she had to fall for that ignorant bastard. My luck.

"Hey Mimi, um...hey girl" I gape at him as he completely ignores my presence again! I angrily walk away watching from afar as Tai and Mimi 'hit it off' the sight just pissed the hell out of me as I placed the skateboard on the hallway floor and jumped on top of it. Riding back and forth in my little corner, awaiting Mimi to be done. I guided the board under me with my legs, feeling as if I were flying on a piece of wood.

"Sora get off of that thing!" Mimi shrieks causing me to fall down, landing on my left arm. I lifted myself from the ground, rubbing at the side of my head.

"MIMI" I yelled pissed off as hell, she looked at me, startled. Her hands covering her mouth.

"Sorry Sora, but I'll see you later" she says running away from me as soon as possible. But it was okay because I saw another person I could take my anger upon. Tai walks up to me, a stupid grin plastered against his face.

"Don't blame her S-"

"Don't you mean girl!" I yell angrily, he shrugs

"Oh, please you know you completely ignored me back there! Not even saying my name which I perfectly know that you know!" I yell angrily, he sighs bending down to open his locker

"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME" I yell, he nods

"Who couldn't hear you with that high voice of yours perky" he says opening his locker

"I am not perky!" I yell, calming down just a bit

"Back then you were, miss perky, you were the perkiest person I knew, and now your just...I don't know", he says walking away, "Maybe if we had kept in touch, maybe I could actually give you a nickname that would suit you, huh? But for now, you'll always be perky" he smiles running down the stairs. I angrily watch him leave, a voice inside my head still whispering my own words of doubt.

"He's right though, you should have kept in touch with him back then and not just left him" I sigh, leaning against his locker as a thought suddenly sprung into my mind. I grab a piece of paper from my backpack and begin to write until my hand suddenly stops and I slip the note into his locker.

"Now, all I gotta do is wait" I sigh, grabbing my backpack and skateboard from the ground and running down the stairs. Feeling my heart thump loudly as I soon await for the end of the day school bell to ring.

My eyes shift continuously from my algebra test towards the slow moving clock, I suddenly start considering running towards the clock and moving its hands until it read 2:15. But that just wasn't an option, I begin moving my knee up and down nervously, feeling my hand becoming sweaty from my grip on the pencil. Finally I hear the annoying school bell ring across the halls and I quickly hand in my test, running upstairs towards my own locker. I bend over slowly running the combination on the lock when I finally spot him, he stars walking towards me, his hair flying behind him as he stands before me, opening his own locker.

I suddenly get the feeling that he may talk to me, but I feel my heart slightly fall as I watch him ignore my presence and gather all his books. I sigh, suddenly remembering the note and gasp as it slowly falls into his sweaters hood. I gasp watching him leave with that little note sticking out from behind him.

"Damn it" I whisper to myself running after him, almost slipping on the wet floor sign. I see him downstairs and I make a dash down the stairs, pushing anyone in my way. Suddenly wanting that note back safely in my backpack and wishing he hasn't found it yet. I stop, gasping for breath and smiling with relief as I spot him talking with some of his new found friends.

"Perfect" I smile making my way towards the little group.

"Hey guys" I say casually, they all sort of glare at me and I have an immediate urge to slap them all. But of course, I don't.

"Hey Perky, what are you doing?" he suddenly asks as he realizes I begin following him towards the sidewalk.

"Oh, I was just you know, walking this way so I thought I'd walk with you" I lie, he frowns at me but lets it go anyways. We begin crossing the street together, cars zooming past us as we walk towards the middle of the street. I then lunge my hand in to his hood, careful not to touch any of his hair. I let out a large grin as I pull the note out of his sweater and jam it into my pocket.

"YES!" I yell happily

"SORA!" a voice yells behind me, I frown turning to my left only to find a large truck raging towards me. My eyes open wide, and without thinking I throw my skateboard on the ground, jumping on top of it and then push my weight against it. Doing a back flip I land on my back, luckily I fell on top of someone. Actually, they caught me and fell with me on the safe ground of the other side of the street.

I feel a burning sensation rise up to my cheeks as I realize I landed on top of Tai.

"Damn Sora, give me a heart attack" he whispers as I quickly get up, shrieking like a little girl.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Did I hurt you! Oh my god!" I cover my mouth as the last three words escape my mouth, it seemed like Mimi had suddenly taken over my body.

"Don't worry about it" he smiles at my stupidity. Again, I blush.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to crush you...I just..."

"It's okay, I'd rather you have killed me instead of you being dead" he laughs, I smile at his comment. Suddenly feeling like pulling him in a tight hug. But pull back knowing he'd freak on me.

"You sure I didn't fracture your back or anything?" I ask, I don't even know why I'm asking so many questions.

"No, I'm fine" he says putting his hands on my shoulders to settle me down. I find myself staring straight into his eyes. I quickly look away, feeling uncomfortable. He let's out a small chuckle and checks the time on his watch.

"Um, I gotta go but I'll see you on Monday," I watch him begin to leave, but suddenly he turns around again, smiling, "Later skater girl" he laughs and turns the corner of the street. I smile, the nick name 'perky' finally destroyed and replaced by 'skater girl'. Such a confusing day, but I'm glad it happened. But I wonder what Mimi will say when I tell her that Tai remembers me?
