Chapter 9

It was Sora's 5th lesson and she was sitting in Japanese next to Tai and Mimi. They were very fluent in the language, so the three of them decided to have it as a 'chat' lesson. Yamato sat behind them and decided to scrunch up pieces of paper and throw it at Sora. Sora looked back and saw Yamato grin, instead of having a go at him she just smiled.
"Why isn't she angry with me?" he wondered.
Yamato scrunched up a bigger piece of paper and threw it at her once more. This time Tai, Mimi and Sora went silent and Sora turned her head facing Yamato.
"Yes Yama?" she asked.
Yamato soften down about, he could smell the scent of her perfume and he was drawn into it, he felt soothed and happy. He then remembered how he has acted and he said.
"Well, I'd like to..." he stumbled.
"Yamato please stop talking to Sora and let me get on with the lesson!" he said to the blond boy in a angry tone.
"Sorry Yama" she said in a soft tone.
"Don't worry about it" he replied.
"He's changing back to his old self, I just know it" she thought to herself.

Then all of a sudden the bell went, the teacher then said. "Well that's it for today's lesson, have a nice evening"

Tai had packed his stuff and with Mimi he walked out of the room. Sora grabbed her books and shoved them in her bag and walked out. Yamato was still packing his and noticed that she left her pencil case. He grabbed it and ran out the room and shouted.

"Sora!"
"Did someone shout my name" she asked Mimi.
"Yeah, they did" she replied.

Sora looked back and saw the blond boy from her Japanese lesson running towards here. He stopped panting and she asked.

"Is there something wrong Yama?" she asked.

Yamato put his head up and smiled.
"Here you forgot your book" he said.
"Oh thanks Yama! But aren't you angry with me?" she said quietly.
"No, I can never stay angry at you Sora, after all you are my best friend" he replied.
"Will you forgive Tai?" she asked.
"Probably not" he said.
"Why not?" she asked again.
"Well the reason why I am really mad at him is because he never told me you were leaving" he said with a frown on his face.
"Wait, Tai never told you?" Sora's face said, her face grew very red and an angry expression on her face.
"No he didn't" Yamato said slowly knowing he shouldn't have said it.

Sora ran off cry with her hands in her face and ran round the corner and went into the girl's bathroom.

"Sora" Yamato shouted.
"Leave her be Yamato, I'll go check up on her, ok?" Mimi said with a smile on her face.
"Ok Mimi, but please tell me how she is and tell me everything" he asked.

Mimi walked off and took a right and went into the girl's bathroom. There she heard a whimper Sora standing over a sink.
"What has happened Sora?" she asked sounding very sad.
Sora could stop crying and refused to talk. Mimi headed over to her and hugged her. Sora then stopped crying and said.
"How about you come with me and we can talk about this with some ice cream? It always cheers me up" Mimi said with concern in her tone.
"Ok Mimi" Sora walked out with Mimi and the two walked down the hall.

Tai then walked over to them and Mimi glared at him and Tai knew that he should keep his distance from them. He knew something was wrong. Tai walked up to Yamato and said.

"What's wrong with Sora?" he asked.
"What do you mean what's wrong with Sora? You broke her trust" he said hotly.
"How did I do that?" he said very sharply.
"I'd rather have Sora tell you than myself" he said. "Out of the way shrimp" he added and pushed Tai out of the way. Tai stood there in shock. "Does she know about what happened on the day she left?" he wondered to himself. He punched his locker and tears flew down his cheeks. He wiped them off and walked out of the school and saw Yamato drove off. "I've got to call of this dating" he said sadly. He walked around the corner and saw Kari standing there. She saw that Tai was down and asked.
"What's wrong Tai?" she asked.
"Nothing" he said sadly.
"Ok Tai... by the way mum is meeting me here and she's going to give me a lift home. So if you want a lift I guess you should stay here" she replied with a frown on her face.
"Poor Kari, why do she always act sad when I'm sad" he wonders.
He looked at her and wondered of a way to cheer her up. He grabbed her by the hands and lifted her onto his shoulders she asked.
"What are you doing big brother?" she asked.
"Just thought I'd give you a piggy back ride" he replied with a smile on his face.

Tai ran around the school boundaries and Kari just laughed. Then Tai put her down after 20 minutes and their mum arrived. They got in the car and drove off.

Meanwhile the two girls had now reached the Ice Cream Parlor and bought some Ice Cream they sat down and they began to talk.

"So Sora, what happened?" she asked.
"Alright, I'll tell you." she replied. "

Four years ago my parents decided to leave and it was so sudden they told me the same day we were leaving. So I ran Tai and asked him to see me off, but I wanted to call Yamato but my mum said that she needed to pack the phone so I asked him to call Yamato. So Tai came round and said that he told Yamato, but then we waited for about an hour and he never came. Then my mum said that we had to go and I said my goodbyes to Tai. He couldn't stand seeing me go and ended up in tears. He gave me a hug and let me go. I got in the car and drove off and I never saw Yamato that day. I thought that he didn't come because he didn't wish to say goodbye but now I know my own boyfriend never told me..." she said near to tears.

"Boyfriend?" Mimi asked in shock.
"Yes, we've been going out since I've been back, he expressed his love to me and I mine and I asked him to never leave my sad. And after the Yamato and Tai fight in the cinema I went to the toilets to cry and Tai came in to comfort me. I always felt safe and calm in his hands. Then we kissed and he asked me out, and I accepted" she replied.

"Why did you keep this bottled up?" Mimi asked.
"I didn't know of what you all would of thought." she replied.
" It might be a misunderstanding Sora, I mean Tai isn't the sort of guy to not inform a friend." she explained.
"I don't know what to do with our relationship, just dump him in spite or forgive him for what he has done or get him to explain what truly happened." she said.
"I say you just ask him to explain to you what happened, he's a sweet kid and deserves another chance. "Mimi said to Sora with a smile.
"I guess you're right, I mean I still love him and all and perhaps we could just mend our relationship by talking it over" Sora replied with a smile. "Well thanks for the ice cream, I think I better see Tai" she added.
"Don't do anything harsh" Mimi added.
"I won't, bye Meems!" Sora said.

She walked out and headed to her home where the phone awaited.
