Yamato forced his eyes to open as a bright light entered his room. The light blinded him for a moment and he heard someone humming by his side. Yamato pulled back his covers over him.
"Wake up! I don't intend to be late at my work also Yamato-san!"
He recognize the voice and instantly he pushed the covers away from him and stared at the woman standing by the foot of his bed, with her hands plainly put on her hips.
"...mom?"
"Yes! Now get your butt off there and breakfast is on the table. Takeru went ahead to school." She pulled his covers and started to fold it. "Well?" she asked her surprised son.
"Since when...how...where's...-"
"Ask later and go take a bath!" Mrs. Ishida ordered. Yamato sighed and looked at the clock. Her mother was right, he was going to be late if he wouldn't take a bath right now.
"Yamato, what happened to your eyes?"
He cringed and looked away from her. "Nothin'...I'll go take a bath."
He walked past her mother quickly and slammed his door. He scurried down to the bathroom and locked the door, his mother's question darted back his mind.
What happened to your eyes?
"The same reason why I woke up late..." he muttered as he opened the shower. What was the reason? I just cried the whole wreched night because of Sora! he said to himself.
"Ugh!! I'm getting crazy!!!" he yelled.
"You could say that again sweetums..." he heard her mother said as she walked past by the bathroom.
"I'm getting crazy..." he whispered as he stepped into the cold shower.

Sora was about to put on her other shoe when the phone rang. With a brush on her hand, she walked towards the phone and grabbed the receiver.
"Hello? Takenouchi's residence, Sora speaking." she said, brushing her auburn hair.
"Sora-chan!!!"
"Oh...hey Mims...what's up?"
"I can't go to...ah...ah...ACHOOO!!"
"Got a cold?"
Sora heard Mimi curse and sniff. "Isn't it obvious!! Anyway, can you take down my assignments?"
"What? But I only have two classes with you!"
"I know that! Since the only person in almost all of my classes is Yamato, could you tell him about it? You know, my assignments."
"......"
"Sora, still there?"
"...oh, yeah sure. Listen, I gotta go and...wear my shoe. Catch you later!" Sora hunged up and dashed into her room again. Just great! I was planning not to talk to Yamato then Mimi calls and...and...
Stoppping for a moment, she thought for a while. Why am I ashamed? He's my best friend!
Well, yeah! But I just told him a very shallow problem!
This thinking is makin' me crazy!!
She put on her right shoe and stood up. She rummaged in her drawer to find her ribbon. But that isn't my problem. I felt something for Yamato when I talked to him...something I've never felt when I'm with Tai.
She finally found her ribbon and closed her drawer. I should just ignore it.... she thought as she ran down from her room. Grabbing a toast, she went out their door and slammed it shut.
~~//~~
Sora rove her eyes in the busy hallway, hoping to find Yamato. At the corner of her eye, she saw Sumi Akagachi. The flirt...she thought as she walked pass by them. She was twirling her dark hair and she batted her eyelashes to almost all the guys who walk pass her.
"Hmph! That pink haired girl didn't know who she was bumping with! Ugh! Let's just drop that topic,okay and let me tell you this really cute guy! What a great kisser he was!!" Sora heard their giggles and laughter as she walked by them. Pink haired? Sumi's always looking for a fight...
She shook her head and trailed her eyes down the slim lockers. She finally saw a slim guy by an open locker. His blonde hair was unavoidable. Sora fingered her ribbon nervously as she stepped closer. Okay...i'ts just Yamato... She took a breath, and finally managed to say his name.
"Yamato?"
The blonde closed the locker door slightly and peeked at the brunette. "Sora! So, what's up?" Yamato couldn't help but smile.
She looked at her feet, avoiding contact with his eyes. "Um...well..." Get a grip! she yelled at herself. When she looked up, her eyes widened when she realized she is only a few inches away from him. She could smell his scent, his shampoo. She blushed even more when he rested his hand on her cheeks and asked if something's bothering her again.
"N...NO! Nothin's bothering me...By the way, Mimi asks if you could take down her assignments."
He pulled his hand away and stared at her eyes. "Sure...no prob..."
"So...gotta go...I'll just...look for Tai..." She turned around but a gentle grip stopped her from walking too far. She turned back and looked at Yamato's eyes.
"Sora, if you ever want to talk about something, I'm always free to listen."
Free?! No, you're never free! I asked you if I could talk to you long ago...you never showed up! I asked if you could stay for a while coz...coz I'm going to tell you that...that...I love you! But no!! You were never free, Yamato, never!!!
Sora's mind was screaming but she controlled herself and blinked back the tears. "I really need to go..." She pulled away from Yamato's grip and ran away from him.
Oh Yama-san...you don't know how I've longed for you! But your pity for me right now is in the wrong time. You're only making me fall in love with you all over again!

By the end of the day, Taichi was dried up. He slowly walked to his locker and opened it lifelessly.
"So...tired already?" A girl asked seductively, tracing a finger down his arm. Taichi grab hold of her hand and glared at her. "Not in public! Listen, I -"
"Taichi, Taichi...still worried of your girlfriend?" she asked, her hand brushed his chocolate brown hair. He pushed her away and looked alarmingly around him. The girl laughed and walked towards him.
"I missed you Taichi...I missed your kiss..."
"Look...about my friends' dare..." Tai started. "I love Sora...but...you...we can't just..."
"You can't let go of me, can you Taichi...you like me......."
".........."
The girl cirlced his neck with her arms and nuzzled his cheek. "Taichi...kiss me..." She placed her lips on his and Tai kissed her back.
~~//~~
Sora grabbed her bag and bolted out the classroom door for two main reasons. One, to talk to Taichi and talk about them. Two, as much as possible, to avoid Yamato and his loving and caring words. She went to Taichi's room but his classmates told her that he went ahead his locker.
"He told us to tell you to meet him there."
"Oh...thank you..." she walked out of the classroom and ran to where Taichi is. Finally reaching her destination, she stopped for a moment. She heard someone talk. A girl...her voice...so familiar...
"Not in public! Listen, I -" she heard Tai said. Now I'm very curios... She stepped out of the corner and her eyes widened as Sumi Akagachi circled her arms on Tai. She whispered something then, looking intently at them, Sumi kissed him passionately. It wouldn't have hurt much...If only he didn't kiss her back!! she thought as tears fall from her eyes. She felt her heart break into thousand little pieces.
Sumi's eyes opened and, seeing Sora at the corner, she smiled slyly and stopped kissing Tai.
"Sora-san! Have you been watching us all this time?" Sarcasm was dripping from her voice. Sora held her posture and glared at Sumi, but the tears won't stop falling.
Hearing Sora's name, Tai tuned his head nervously behind. A gasp escaped his lips. He strangled away from Sumi's arms and he was about to talk to Sora.
"Don't even think about taking another step closer..." Sora said between her gritted teeth. Sumi watched, her purple eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Sora...I...I'll explain...you see - "
"Well I SAW it, Taichi Kamiya! And don't bother explaining to me!" Sora yelled. She clenched her fist and looked angrily at Sumi. Sumi smirked and cocked an eyebrow at her.
"Sora honey, didn't you over heared us a while ago?" Sumi said.
"Shut up Sumi and let me talk to her!" Tai exclaimed, his strong voice both scared the girls. Sumi just shrugged and looked at her fingernails.
"Sora..."
Sora have heard enough. "Taichi...don't you dare talk to me again or I swear...I'll do something you'll regret!" She turned away from him and ran away.
I need...I need you Yamato....
