I Can Do Better!

Chapter 4:

The soft clicking of heels was heard in the distance and Matt figured that Mimi was walking away, more than likely with Tai, since they usually bumped into each other one way or another, but for now he was trying to get Sora to call down.

"Fucking bitch! How dare SHE do that to ME?! Wait 'till I find her pathetic skinny ass! I-"

"Now, Sora calm down, if you keep acting like that you're gonna get beat again." Spoke Matt at a safe distance, since if she got any more upset, he'd have enough room to move.

She gave Matt one of the most horrible death glares that he'd ever seen, but only one glare could beat that one that she was giving him; Mimi's… For some odd reason, none were in comparison to her's, but he didn't question it, but did get worried with the look that Sora was giving him, and wasn't too sure to expect a slap in the face, a punch in the gut, a kick in the balls, a lecture, or just the glare itself.

"Listen here Ya.ma.to. She called me a jealous slut to your face and all you could do was gawk. You blushed, when she mentioned the whole sex thing, but that was about it! So, now because of that, you better keep your composure and not expect anything from me, you little fucker." She spoke every word with conviction, and pointed accusingly at Matt with her hand shaking out of sheer anger and not knowing what to do about the whole situation.

Matt looked away and couldn't face her stare. What she said was true, he didn't even try to say "no" or "shut the hell up" but he was just so shocked at what was going on between the both of them and was completely stunned and speechless. Well, relationships are not supposed to be only about sex, so this would probably strengthen their relationship, like Tai and Mimi's. Matt couldn't remember when he and Sora started sleeping with each other, but he did remember that it was early in the relationship. Reflecting on that, he felt guilty and dirty, and began to question his relationship with Sora, and really did hope that sex wasn't the only thing keeping them together, he knew that there had to be more, but with all that was going on he couldn't think, but knew that when they both started talking as "more than friends" they were both hurting and no longer wanted to be lonely, and things just went on from there. He wondered how Tai and Mimi made it work, they have never treaded those waters and yet they were still completely in love with each other. Matt began to feel a bit of jealousy, not of Tai because he had Mimi, but of their relationship, but putting that aside as he knew that Sora was the one for him, he's known that since the later part of his Freshman year.

Matt looked really spaced out, so Sora, shook him out of his thoughts and gave him an "are you okay?" look. He blinked out of his trance and saw that Sora now looked worried and he nodded and then hugged her.

"Don't leave me alone like that Matt, it's not fair." Spoke Sora as she squeezed Matt.

"I know, I'm sorry sweetie, I just didn't know what to do." Matt closed his eyes, knowing that he hurt Sora, but wasn't too sure what to say or do, with the whole situation.

"You always say that Matt, please, I need you to be there for me…" she still held him tight and a silent tear rolled off her cheek and landed on his shirt. Matt now felt horrible, since he did recall saying that when he wasn't too sure of what to do, instead of just going with what he knew he should do, but had always felt conflicted because the last time he tried to do something like that, he ended up being alone because his father worked too much to be home, and when he was home, he slept, and it didn't reunite his family like he thought it would.

He hugged her tighter and she hugged back as slowly more tears rolled down her cheeks to Matt's shirt. She would have cried more but she remembered that someone else was in the room and preferred to cry when they were alone. Matt understood and just held her, as if they were the only ones in the room. She regained her composure, only shedding a few tears, she picked her head up and Matt looked at her and gave her a tender kiss on the lips and held her hand as they walked out of the room.

As they walked down the hallway a familiar tall figure walked towards them. Matt recognized her as they got closer and Sora didn't even give her the time of day for a glance, but she saw the look she gave her and Matt. Once they were far enough from the tall girl, she spoke, "What was that about?"

"Hmm, not sure but it was odd." Answered Matt with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Ugh, bitch, not worth my time." Commented Sora while rolling her eyes.

She squeezed his hand and low and behold they both saw Mimi and Tai walking out of the girl's restroom and more than likely going to their computer lab class. Awkward yes, but there were only three boys allowed in the girl's restroom: Michael, a well known gay boy, Matt, Sora's boyfriend, and Tai, Mimi's boyfriend. It was allowed only if Matt and Tai were accompanied by their girlfriends but since Michael was flaming, they knew he posed no threat; one of the many unwritten rules of their high school.

Matt, still holding Sora's hand, turned in the opposite direction and Sora furrowed her brows, questioning what he was doing. Matt spoke softly, "trust me."

The computer lab was quiet since most students were listening to music on their computers and the teacher mainly played pin-ball on the computer and rarely checked attendance. Tai clicked here and there and was finally able to work his way around the school's blocking program and went to the haven for teenagers; MySpace. He noticed that nothing was out of the ordinary on the site, but there was a bulletin that caught his attention. "Talent Show, ya heard?" He raised and eyebrow and clicked on it.

A few minutes later Mimi went to Tai's side, as she was catching up on some gossip about Michael from a friend that was in the classroom. She hugged Tai from behind and saw that he was reading a bulletin on MySpace.

"What's that about babe?"

"Oh, it turns out that some people here in the school want to have a talent show and are making this petition to convince the principal to allow it, and I think that this will be sent to Takeru to relay it to the principal for approval."

"Oh, I see."

"Do you think that it'll pass?"

"Yeah, it just needs like fifty more names, and that shouldn't take long sine almost everyone in the high school has a MySpace."

"True, but NONE look as good as ours do." Replied Mimi with a grin.

Tai smiled, "Yup, thanks to Izzy."

"Amen, and plus, we're just that damn good looking."

Tai smiled back, "Totally babe."

"What are we doing in the parking lot?"

"I think that you need to vent and if we go to your car, you will feel a lot better after you do."

She smiled, feeling content that her boyfriend knew her after all, that it was real between them. They approached her car and she unlocked it and they both went inside. Matt looked at her and brushed some hair away from her face too see if there was a bruise where Mimi had hit her. She slowly turned so that he could get a better look and thank God there was no bruise, just an area that was a little red and could be hidden with some make-up. As he put his hand down, he saw a tear flow from her closed eyes to the car's seat. He leaned into her and just hugged her. He wasn't sure what hurt her more; that she was called a jealous slut, or that Mimi was able to knock her out, or what Mimi had said that started the fight between them. He didn't know and would find out later but all he knew was that this seriously affected her ego and hoped that he would be able to get her back to herself soon, since it was not like her to mope and cry, but knew that fights between friends, especially best friends, never went easy.

The school day had gone by as expected, nothing out of the ordinary, well nothing past the incident between Sora and Mimi that is. Matt was able to get Sora back to herself and didn't return to class, they just sat in her car and talked, something that they hadn't done in a long time. Tai and Mimi were the same and nothing had changed between them but they were very curious to know about the Talent Show that people are asking for. Once they got out of school, them being seniors they only went to school half a day, they walked towards Mimi's car and managed to see Matt and Sora in Sora's Mustang. They both raised and eyebrow at each other as Mimi unlocked her Mercedes and got in. Tai buckled himself in after he put his stuff in the back and Mimi was already ready to go. She pulled out right after she looked in the mirror, fixed her hair, and put on her big sun glasses and after Tai put on his. She passed by Sora's Mustang one more time and she was still in there with Matt, she wondered if anything was going to happen to their relationship, because she really didn't want that, they were both happy, and now felt guilty that she did and said those things just because of what stupid Yolei told her, and because she wanted to get to Sora. She had a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, and knew that she had to get back at Yolei one day for butting into something that's none of her business.

Mimi kept her thoughts to herself, since she didn't want Tai to worry, and drove out of the parking lot and noticed that something seemed different as she approached the gate to leave campus. Surprisingly there was a line of cars trying to get out, so she figured that there was a different security guard on duty today. As she slowly drove over the speed bumps, Tai lowered the volume of the music, and Mimi rolled down the window when she was right in front of the security guard.

"May I see your ID please? And his too." The security guard wasn't being mean, but did have a certain way of carrying himself that made everything he said seem that he said it with arrogance; this annoyed Mimi.

Tai reached in his back pocket and showed the man his red ID, signifying that he was a senior and Mimi gave him hers as well. He looked at Tai's ID card, looked back at him, and Tai lowered his sunglasses incase that it was a boundary that the security guard couldn't get passed. The security guard nodded and put Tai's ID card behind Mimi's and his eyes widened as he read her name.

"Oh, I'm sorry for stopping you Miss Tachikawa, you may be on your way," he said as he gave her the ID cards with an a shocked and apologetic look, as he knew her father and the last thing he needed was a phone call from him to the school. He did his best to smile, despite being nervous, as he handed her the ID cards.

She lowered her glasses and said, "Okay," as she rolled up her window and drove over the last speed bump and sped off for lunch.

"Don't cha hate it when that happens?" commented Mimi with a slight annoyed look on her face.

"Yeah, but they won't forget your face next time." Replied Tai with a smile.

"I know," she replied with a smile as she reached out and took his hand.

As T.K. was walking to the library as he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He walked in and showed the librarian his ID card and went to a computer that was far enough so that he could see if he got a message. He opened his phone and read the text message, "Check your MySpace." He didn't recognize the number and was afraid that someone had hacked into his MySpace and put up false information about him, it's not like his MySpace was his life, but he hated it when people thought something of him that he wasn't.

He logged on the school's computer and used some tricks that Izzy had taught him to get around the school's security and looked at his MySpace and saw a few messages all with the same subject title, "Talent Show, ya heard?" He opened it and saw that over two thousand people from the high school had signed a petition to have a talent show. He printed it out and paid the small fee, to print out stuff from the library, and after he logged off his account and went to go find the principal, not too sure what to expect, but with all the signatures that were on the petition, he needed to see what he could do.
