Soccer is a Game of Love
Chapter 6
The next day of school went by really slowly and it was really quiet too. Everytime he saw Sora she'd turn her head the other direction, and totally ignore him. He tried talking to Mimi, but she didn't really want to talk to him after what he did to Sora. So all he could do was talk to his good friend Matt.
"Matt, how can I get Sora to forgive me if she won't even talk to me?" Tai whined.
"I don't know, but I can talk to Mimi about how sorry you are, and maybe she can talk to Sora about it," Matt suggested.
"I don't know, isn't that the reason she's mad at me? Because she felt like I used her?" Tai pointed out.
"Yeah, but this is different," Matt encouraged.
"I guess," Tai sighed. "Why did she get so mad? I mean I understand why, but I can't help to think that she over-reacted," Tai pointed out.
"Don't you get it!?" Matt asked in shock.
"Get what?" Tai asked confused.
"It hurt her more than it should've, but it's become more than that," Matt began. "Now, Sora likes you! And because she does, what you did hurt her more than it would've if she didn't like you!" Matt concluded.
"Sora? Likes me?!" Tai said in shock.
"You didn't see it?!" Matt asked even more shocked.
"No!! That's the way she always is!" Tai complained.
"I guess you've been concentrating more on Mimi and I than on yourself," Matt shrugged.
"I still don't think she likes me," Tai concluded as he walked to his next class.
Unfortunately his next class was with Sora. Tai didn't know what to do. He couldn't concentrate, how could he?! He just hurt his best friend in the whole world! She didn't look like she could concentrate either; she kept on putting her head down like she was going to cry, but held it in. I guess being in the same class, as Tai was too much for her to take.
'I hope I wasn't too hard on him yesterday,' Sora thought to herself. "Only if he knew how much it hurt me, only if he knew...'She kept on repeating to herself.
It seemed like forever but the bell finally rang. It was time to go to the last period of the day.
'Okay one more class Tai, just one more class...'Tai kept on repeating to himself.
Tai sat all alone during that class. But now that Matt and Mimi were going out, Matt sat beside Mimi. Throughout the whole class Matt and Mimi talked. Tai wished he knew what they were talking about, but for some reason he thought that they were talking about him. I guess it was because Mimi kept on looking back at him, but hey, it could just be because she was still mad at him for hurting Sora the way that he did. Tai was able to concentrate better in this class, because Sora wasn't in this one. This class went by faster than the others did. Finally the bell rang. It was time to go home.
"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" Tai yelled out as he closed the door behind him.
"Oh, hi Tai," Mrs. Kamiya replied a little surprised. "I thought you'd be coming home a little later," Mrs. Kamiya pointed out.
"What made you think that?" Tai asked in confusion.
"It's just that you've been coming home later and going out a lot lately," Mrs. Kamiya concluded. Tai was silent.
"Oh...well...I'm just a little tired today that's all," Tai said trying not to think of Sora.
"Okay, dinner will be in a few hours, so if you have anything to catch up on you can do it now," Mrs. Kamiya suggested.
"Sure Mom," Tai replied. 'Was she talking about Sora?' Tai thought to himself. 'Nah, I'm just getting paranoid,' Tai concluded as he made his way up to his room.
RING! RING!
Tai picked up the phone. "Hello?" Tai spoke into the phone.
"Hey Tai!" The person replied.
"Oh, hi Matt," Tai sighed.
"What? You were expecting someone else?" Matt teased.
"Don't even go there," Tai replied trying not to hang up the phone.
"Tai, you know she is never going to call you," Matt began.
"Matt-" Tai interrupted.
"No Tai! You listen!" Matt interrupted in annoyance. Tai was silent. "Listen to me, you are not going to stay by the phone, go home early, and totally ignore Sora for the rest of your life!" Matt continued. "You are going to call her, you are going to try to talk to her at school, you are going to make some sort of effort to make things better, she deserves that!" Matt concluded.
"But...she hates me..." Tai replied silently.
"So?!" Matt complained. "Do you actually think by not calling her, talking to her, and ignoring her at school, is going to make her like you anymore?" Matt pointed out.
"I don't know," Tai replied in a giving up tone.
"You don't even like her, do you Tai?" Matt sighed.
"No, I don't," Tai replied sadly.
"Well, this is going to be tough," Matt began. "You best friend in the whole world likes you, and you hurt her, but you don't like her," Matt continued. "How do you make it up to her?" Matt concluded.
"I don't know, I don't know," Tai whined.
"Neither do I, all I can say is, don't ignore her or pretend nothing happened, or just hope she'll get over it," Matt advised.
"Alright man," Tai replied.
"Bye," Matt sighed.
"See ya tomorrow," Tai replied. They both hung up the phone.
* * *
Tai didn't get much sleep the night before, he stayed up all night thinking about what Matt and his Mom said. He really wanted to make things better with Sora, he just didn't know how.
'I got to talk to Mimi,' Tai thought. 'If I can't make Mimi understand what happened, then I'll never be able to make Sora understand what happened.' Tai concluded.
"Mimi!" Tai yelled across the hall. Mimi heard Tai and started to walk away. "Mimi! I got to talk to you!" Yelled out again this time following Mimi. Tai caught up to her, and tapped her shoulder.
"Mimi, please," Tai pleaded still panting. Mimi turned around.
"You have until lunch finishes," Mimi replied.
"Thank you," Tai sighed. They both sat down on an empty table far away from where Matt or Sora were sitting.
"Look, I'm sorry for what I did to Sora-" Tai began.
"Then why don't you tell her that!" Mimi interrupted.
"I would, but I can't even talk to her," Tai complained. "I couldn't even talk to you, until now," Tai pointed out. Mimi was silent.
"Try harder," Mimi concluded and left.
Tai just sat there surprised at the answer. He thought she'd have something more helpful to say, but being Sora's best friend how could he blame her.
Tai couldn't concentrate on the rest of his classes; he couldn't stop thinking about what Mimi said. First he couldn't stop thinking about what Matt and his mother said, but now when he was trying to do something about it, his only way to Sora shot him down! Tai was at a dead end. Finally the day was over, and Tai went straight home.
When Tai got home he didn't do his usual "Mom, Dad I'm home" routine. He just went straight to his room. Tai opened his door.
"Hi Tai!" Kari greeted him with a smile.
"Oh Geez Kari! You gotta stop popping out of nowhere like that," Tai replied panting.
"Oh, sorry," Kari giggled. "So, I've noticed you've been coming home on time lately," Kari pointed out.
"Yeah, well, your not the only one who noticed," Tai replied thinking of his Mom.
"Is it Sora?" Kari asked calmly.
"Yeah, yeah it is..." Tai sighed.
"Do you like her?" Kari asked.
"No!" Tai replied a little surprised at the question. "And that has nothing to do about it," Tai pointed out.
"Huh?! It has everything to do about it Tai!" Kari replied a little surprised. "She likes you, and you hurt her, but your saying whether you like her or not has nothing to do about it?!" Kari pointed out still surprised.
"Your right Kari," Tai sighed. "I'm sorry, It's just that I'm still upset about not knowing what to do about it," Tai concluded.
"What do you mean?" Kari asked in confusion.
"It's just that, I've tried everything to make her talk to me, but she still won't talk to me," Tai whined.
"Tai, it's only been two days, try harder," Kari suggested.
"Try harder? What do you mean?" Tai asked in confusion.
"Well send her notes in class, write a letter and put it in her locker, call her and leave messages is she won't talk to you, do what you must Tai!" Kari advised.
"Where do you learn all this?" Tai asked surprised. "Is it a special course or something? Can I apply?" Tai said still in shock.
Kari giggled. "No," Kari began as she made her way to the door. "It's something built in every girls mind," Kari concluded and left.
Tai just laughed and thought about what Kari said. He was still surprised that Kari knew what to do, and he didn't. So he spent the rest of the night thinking about what everyone told him, and writing his letters to put in her locker, and in her mailbox. He even spent some time writing emails to her. He did that all night until he fell asleep on his desk with his head down.
