Secret lover

Odaiba high...

Sitting in the back of the classroom Mimi watched the others like a hawk. Her eyes were red and puffy and her long brunette hair was tossed here and there. Her wrinkled uniform screamed disaster and she didn't even bother to wear the same kind of socks.

She was heartbroken.

She numbly fiddled with a loose strand of her hair when her attention turned to the sound of a giggle.

Sora.

The red-head entered the room with Tai on her trail. Obviously laughing at something he had said Sora flirtatiously giggled and Tai grinned like a fool. Mimi watched as Tai bent over closing the gap between their heights and whisped in her ear; Sora's face lit up in an intense blush. Their moment was cut short however by Matt shoving Tai out of the way. Sora merely rolled her eyes and sat on her desk. They boys followed her but stopped at the sound of the door slamming. Everyone turned to the front.

"Good morning everyone!" Jun Motomiya or 'The Mouth' as everyone called her barged in. She smiled and everyone grunted and continued with their previous activities. Her eyes scanned the room and locked on the trio. "Sora!" She hollered. "So it's true!"

"What's true?" Sora hesitantly inquired.

"You're a dyke!"

"What!"

"Oh I'm sorry...a lesbian." Jun's blunt statement caught the attention of everyone; they watched Sora and awaited a response.

Feeling the heat of all the stares, Sora defensively replied. "Where the hell would you get an idea like that?"

Jun backed down like a naive dog that didn't understand its mistake. "Well, I saw you and Mimi kissing." At the drop of the name everyone turned to the back of the room and looked at Mimi. "I was doing my daily spyi...uh, bird watching and I happened to glance at your apartment building where I saw you and Mimi kissing."

Noticing the fear in Sora's eyes Tai came to her rescue. "Sora wasn't kissing Mimi she was kissing me."

"What?" Jun quirked her head.

"What!" Matt exclaimed.

The others mumbled and whispered among each other.

"Yeah, I guess you must have confused me with Mimi...I do have pretty long hair you know...heh." He sweatdroped. "Isn't that right Sora?"

Sora was stunned. "Uh...yeah." She looked at Mimi in disgust. "She's the dyke not me!" She covered her mouth in shock.

Mimi got up and ran out of the room and everyone dismissed the incident. Jun sat on her desk and Matt argued with Tai. But Sora stood stunned in the middle of the room.

RING! The bell rang. Still, Sora kept her ground and gaped at nothing.

"Sora?" Matt nudged her. "Class started." She looked up into his azure eyes and ran out.

She ran down the hall and into the girl's bathroom. Splashing water on her face she could hear light sobbing coming from the stall in the corner.

Mimi.

The cries were muffled; she was trying to stop herself from crying but it was no use.

"Mimi?" The crying stopped. "Mimi, I know you're in there." Sora could hear rustling on the other side. "Mimi, I'm sorry."

"Go away!"

"Please come out; I want to see you." There was a brief silence but the door slowly opened with a creek.

Mimi stepped out and wiped the tears with the sleeve of her shirt. "What do you want?" She viciously assaulted as she washed away the dry tears.

"Mimi...I...I really did like that kiss."

"Really?" Mimi's tone softened.

Sora smiled and hugged her friend. "Yes." She whispered. And they closed the gap between each other and kissed.

"Come one." Sora tucked the other girl's hair behind her ear. "We're gonna be late."

They regained their posture and exited the restroom at different times so as to not look suspicious and went their separate ways.
