ONE WEEK

I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head

where I would impress you

with every single word I said.

(SORA)

I was so relieved by the time lunch had come around. This meant I could finally talk to Mimi about today's events, mainly that mysterious note. I made my way over to our traditional meeting spot, underneath the huge elm tree near the soccer fields. There was Mimi, sitting cross-legged munching on a big ripe apple, a sweet smile plastered over her pretty face. What was she thinking about? Sometimes I really don't know what's going on in her head.

"Mimi!" I called as I hurried over to her. She looked up at me and her smile transformed almost instantly into a grin.

"Well if it isn't the star of the show, your secret lover has got the whole school talking!"

I felt my face heat up. "Urgh Mimi, he is not a secret lover, I have no idea who he is!"

She threw her arms around me as soon as I sat down next to her.

"Umm Mimi what's gotten into you? Why are you so…. happy?" I asked curiously.

"Oh you know Sora, I just love a little bit of drama, and you always complain how you never feel special on valentines…" She replied happily.

"Yeah I guess that's true, although the note was a little cheesy," I shrugged. There was almost a look of offence on her face, but I swear I had imagined it.

"Maybe someone just wants to show you how they feel," She replied casually. "I mean you can't say you're not flattered right?"

"I am flattered. It's just…" I trailed off and looked over to the soccer field where a few boys in our year were having a match.

"You wanted it to be from Taichi…" She said knowingly. I sighed and drew my attention back to my best friend.

"Well, at least you know he's jealous," She said grinning.

"How do I know that?" I asked flatly.

"OH Sora it was so obvious this morning, he was like super pissed at the fact he had a little competition…"

I let this sink in. What she was saying was true, he had acted very defensively. But then again, He was always like that. He's like that with his soccer ball.

"Maybe." Was all I could reply.

(TAICHI)

Finally. The last bell for the day had gone. I couldn't concentrate on anything today, not even soccer. All I could think about was her and that stupid moron who was leaving her anonymous stalker memos. If I ever got my hands on him I'd…

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Sora by her locker. I made my way over to her.

"Sora," I said as casually as I could "Can I talk to you?" I hated saying that. It made me sound so pathetic. She nodded and we made our way to an empty corridor. She looked expectantly at me. I looked at the floor and rubbed the back of my head with my hand.

"Um look, you know I'm not good at this..." I started dumbly. "But I'm sorry I said I saw you more as a boy rather than a girl, I really didn't mean it like that and I wasn't thinking before I said it." There. Done and done. Another apology made to the girl of my dreams. She still hadn't said anything and I hadn't dared steal a glance at her yet.

"I'm an idiot I know. You can hit me if you want, "I said as seriously as I could, but as I knew more than anyone, Sora could hit well.

"It's alright Taichi I know you're an idiot, but maybe I overreacted." She said softly. I looked up to see her smiling face. She really had the biggest mood swings. One minute she hates me the next she looks at me like im the best thing since sliced bread. That being said, it was one of things I liked about her the most.

"Ok so friends again?" I asked dumbly, unsure of what else to say.

"We're always friends Taichi," She replied matter-o-factually. I laughed and gave her a friendly hug. Not for too long though, I always had to be careful; of that. For some reason she was blushing.

"Umm well I better be getting home, do you want to walk together?" I asked lamely. Why did I say that? We always walk home together, now I look like an idiot.

"Of cause Taichi, just like always." She laughed and we made our way down the hall together.

(MIMI)

"No it has to be a white Orchid." I said flatly at the florist. This was ridiculous. I had told her four times this week that I needed a white orchid and she's moaning on about yellow. Did it look like I cared?

"Sorry Miss, We can't get any more white in by valentines, they are just so popular." She said rather rudely might I add.

"Oh well thank you very much anyway" I said sincerely.

"Your welcome, I wish you the best of luck." She replied, but I could tell she didn't mean it.

I turned around and ran straight into Yamto Ishidas chest.

"Oh Yamato im sorry I'm such a cluts," I laughed nervously.

"It's cool Mimi…couldn't help but notice you were screaming the ear off that poor florist, "He teased.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, incapable woman"

"Well why don't you just go and see Sora's Mother? I thought she gave you discounts anyway?" He asked in suspicion rather than confusion. How was I supposed to buy a flower for Sora from her mother?

"Oh I just felt a little bit…Soras mother didn't have...hey here's a wild idea, lets go get some frozen yoghurt!" I chimed, trying my best to change the subject. Yamato looked a little taken back but seemed to shrug it off.

"Yeah why not, I have nothing else to do" He said casually.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I sat down on a park bench and watched as Yamato walked over with two delicious looking Fro-Yo's in hand. Sweet of him to pay really, especially seeing as it was my lame idea.

"Thanks for paying Yamato," I said happily as me handed me my frozen yoghurt.

"Pleasure," He replied casually, "I actually had to talk about something with you however…"

What did he have to talk bout with me? And why was my heart beating so fast?

"Its about Taichi, and Sora too I guess." He said slumping back into the park bench. "I think Taichi is a bit…I dunno, upset about this whole love note ordeal."

"Oh really?" I replied, trying my best to sound uninterested.

"Yeah and I guess I was wondering how Sora felt about it all? Like does she actually want to meet this guy?" His gaze was now rested on me. He seemed generally concerned for his friend which was something I rarely saw between the two. I couldn't look at him, his eyes were just so blue and piercing I had to turn my gaze to the river in front of us.

"Well, I think she's flattered…but I also think she wished that it was from someone else…"I replied nervously. Why was he looking at me so intently. I hoped that the afternoon sun was hiding my blush.

(YAMATO)

There was an adorable shade of pink spread across her cheeks and the sunset was bringing out the most brilliant golden shades in her hair. She was trying to speak but it seemed she was stammering her words. I couldn't hear a word she said anyway I was too busy admiring her, I was just sitting here fixated on her delicate features. She had always been an attractive girl, any idiot could tell, but I never realized how beautiful she was before.

That's when I realized, she was blushing. Was I the reason for that? I snapped out of my trance and stood up quickly.

"Uh Mimi I'm sorry I have to go I just realized I have to make dinner tonight because Dads coming home late. See ya." There was a subtle look of hurt on her face but I could tell that she was more confused by my sudden actions. I swiftly turned around and walked away from her as fast as I could. What was wrong with me?

A/N: Well this is becoming a lot more romantic than I had expected, and also a lot less humorous! Please tell me what you think! The more review I get, the sooner I update : )
