I know this doesn't have much plot yet, but next chapter it does. It needed this filler-thingy first though. Please review!
Last chapter:
Sora smiled evilly.
The possibilities were endless.
Sora showered quickly, throwing on jeans and a tank top before running back to get her windbreaker after a moment's thought. Stuffing her wallet and a small flashlight into her pocket, she pulled her wet hair into a loose bun and ran outside, slamming the glass door behind her excitedly.
It was beautiful outside. Even though it was technically morning, the moon was still shining brightly, its light piercing the surprisingly thick darkness below. The grass was covered in a light layer of dew, crunching deliciously under Sora's feet. It was incredibly windy, and a little chilly -- just the way she liked it. Regardless of this, Sora forced herself to focus -- she was a woman on a mission, not to be deterred.
Sora was considering a few options with which to prank Tai. Easiest option she could take a flashlight, shine it in his eyes, and yell train to wake him up. Not very creative, but she knew he kept his window open and they'd climbed the ivy vines scaling his house millions of times, so getting into his room would be a cinch. She could also put his hand in a bucket of water while he was asleep, but on second thought that was kinda gross. It looked like she'd have to go with the flashligh-
"Ow!" Sora gasped as she stumbled over a rock, grabbing a pole she was passing by and swinging herself around so she wouldn't fall.
"Wha-"
"No!"
"Umph," someone grunted as Sora hit them full force, knocking them both to the ground.
They lay there for a beat, panting. Sora's eyes were open wide, straining furiously to see who she'd fallen on. All she could make out was a dark, masculine shape with shining blue eyes set in it. Her hand plunged into her pocket, pinning the man down with the other one.
"Who are y-Sora?!" the figure exclaimed as Sora switched her flashlight on. He covered his eyes instantly. "Hey, turn that off!"
"Matt?!" Sora asked with surprise, still training the light on his face. "What are you doing out so early?"
"I could ask you the same thin--will you turn that bloody thing off!" he interrupted himself, rolling over so Sora was now on the bottom and grabbing the flashlight out of her hand. He switched it off, sighing as the darkness encompassed them once more. "My poor eyes," he moaned quietly.
"Why're you out so early," Sora repeated in a whisper, the adrenaline that had been coursing through her veins a moment ago fading fast and her fatigue quickly catching up with her. She closed her eyes tiredly, waiting for a response. "Well?"
A few seconds passed before Matt answered. "I couldn't sleep, and it was nice out. This is my favourite kind of weather."
"Mine too." She opened her eyes again, and as their eyes connected they both realised that Matt was still on top of her, holding her shoulders down against the grass. "Um..." Sora paused, feeling a little embarrassed. If Matt moved she'd have to move, and she was so comfortable leaning her head against the grass. Not to mention that with Matt there she felt safe for the first time since watching Tai's movie, which was a big relief.
She felt Matt run his hands along her waist, and knew she'd have to get up. Pity. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked him, moving to slap his hands away. They stopped suddenly, and Sora felt rather than saw him pocket her flashlight calmly. "Oh."
She heard Matt laugh from above her, and a moment later a hand was helping her up. "What do you take me for, some kinda perv?"
Sora blushed a little, praying his night vision was just as bad as hers so he wouldn't see her face heating up. "I'm just paranoid tonight."
"Oh? Why?"
Sora could see his eyes glinting amusedly in the moonlight, and she smiled a little. "Tai made me watch that movie he just got."
Matt's whoosh of breath sound suspiciously like another laugh. "You mean the horror one?"
Sora glared. "No, the one about unicorns and rainbows. Yes the horror one! I haven't been able to sleep all night!"
Matt started walking slowly, his shoes making squeaking noises as they dragged along the wet grass. "Poor Sora."
"Where're you going?"
Matt paused to wait for her. "For a walk, you coming?"
Sora jogged up to him. "Like I'm gonna go back to my house alone." Matt raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you come here alone?"
"No way I'm taking the chance of swinging around a new pole and falling on some guy I don't know." Matt laughed openly this time, reaching out to take her hand.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep you away from any poles we pass."
"What a man," Sora said sarcastically, shaking her head.
Next chapter coming soon! Reviews appreciated!
