They were sitting there, waiting... No of them had said a word in what seems a half an hour. He was nervous, so was she. He just couldn't believe this. He had just asked her. Nothing was more important to him than her. He was waiting for her answer. She was in shock. Her cheeks were lightly red. He looked at her. She was looking at her feet. God only knew how nervous she was. Should she say yes? O better make him suffer a little longer? So long has she waited for this. And now he just asked her. She looked up and lost herself in his beautifully deep oceans eyes. He could tell. Then she leaned forwards and…RING-Ring…

She opened suddenly her eyes. This couldn't be happening. She had been dreaming again. The same dream that has been hunting her since the date with Matt, three weeks ago, almost four. She looked at her alarm clock. 3:00 a.m.

Again, she had waked up and now she won't be able to sleep again. She knew it. This has been happening since the date and she hated it. She went to the bathroom to refresh her face with cold water and got herself again into bed.

Every single night since that day she had done the same thing: waking up at 3:00a.m., washing her face, get back into bed and think all over again.

They were just inches apart. She could almost feel his lips against hers and then, the cell phone. It was Sora. They had totally forgotten about her. Matt and Sora were supposed to be dating or a shit like that. It seems so at least the first day she find them. Sora was crazy about Matt, and at the beginning it seems that Matt was crazy about Sora but then, Matt asked Mimi out. It was supposed to be a friends date, not something more. But deep inside both of them knew that it meant something more.

She starred at the deck. Then turned around in her bed and looked out the window door looking at the sky.

She heard a door closing and looked to the front. There was the same girl that has been coming to Tai's home almost every night. She just kissed him softly on the lips and climbing down the balcony while Tai was standing there looking at her with a love fully gaze. Every time Mimi found him starring at that girl like that she thought about him being deeply and madly in love with that girl but then she realized that is Taichi Yagami who are we talking about; that means it is impossible.

But lately, after the movies incident, they have become something really similar as friends. She still wants to hit him almost every single minute but they have learned how to get along. They shared some classes and also they had to prepare a theater piece together. It was something like an introduction to the acting world, so their teacher had assigned partners and also something to represent. In their case, it was a part of 'Moulin Rouge' and today they were going to present it after the final game. It was supposed to be something like a festival. The presentation was going to be in the gym. They were going to be something like 7 presentations and there was an interval between each from 15 minutes. It was amazing how at the beginning, she said to herself that she wouldn't care for Tai, not even as a friend and now how everything changed. Now he still pissed her off sometimes, as a game and she does the same thing to him. now she sees why is one of Matt's best friends.

She looked again at her alarm clock. 4:30 a.m. She stretched her arms in the air and sighed. Why the hell did Sora called at that moment? They were millimeters apart, she could feel his breath in her face and it was going to be a nice and soft kiss. Like their first kiss. In a way it was killing her. They have been acting like nothing had happen that day. They have been pretending but anyway they have got every single day a bit closer. He picked her up every time he could in the morning. If not, Tai drove her to the Institute. But Mimi was just thinking again and again about the damn kiss. She couldn't actually think about anything else. It always ends up her thinking about Matt and it always involves Sora, too.

She shouldn't, she didn't want to but there was nothing she could do.

Mimi stood up from bed, if she couldn't sleep maybe, she could run a bit before classes. She had to be at the institute at 9 o'clock. The performances were going to be in the afternoon but they still had to practice a bit before it. Also there was the football final game at noon. She went to the bathroom and took a quick shower, just to wake every muscle of her body with hot water. Then she put herself on a pair of black shorts, a sport bra and her white run-top, black Nikes and a run sweatcher. After filling a bag with her normal clothes and everything necessary to taking a shower at the institute, looked for her music, and walked down the stairs. Mimi went to the kitchen to have a very quick breakfast. She wasn't hungry at all but she needed to eat something that gave her some energy.


"Matt!" shouted Shajo.

"Catch it" shouted Matt back while throwing the basket ball to the other side of the basketball field. Shajo got it and run away as fast as he could, try to reached the other side. But a blue haired boy just stood in his way and after bit a "fighting", Shajo lost the ball.

"Ok, guys. Practice is over! Go and relax your selves with a shower." the trainer said to the players. Then she turned to Matt. "Hey you, good practice today. Are you ready for the game next week?"

"Thanks and yes--" but he was interrupted again but his trainer.

"…And for today? I hear you still want to play along with the football team. Good luck" then she turned around and walked away. What the hell was wrong with her? She always does that. It starts the conversation about basketball and once the topic has been changed she lost every single interest and just walks away. Matt definitely would never understand her.

"So, how's Mimi doing?" asked Shusuke once Matt walked into the showers.

"Good" was the only thing he muttered as a reply. He used to do that a lot since that Saturday, since that almost perfect kiss. Every time he was asked about Mimi he would reply automatically 'Good' or sometimes just 'fine'. Shusuke has noticed that but he preferred to keep shut up instead of asking him what was wrong. Before the kissed Matt used to talk a lot about Mimi. They were just two days but Shusuke knew more things about Mimi now than he would ever know he would in just two days. After that he hadn't talk about her at all.


Mimi was sitting now in the cafeteria. She had orange juice, a delightful sandwich plus a coffee. She had already taken a shower in the institute changers. She had run almost for something like 3 hours or more. But it still was early. It wasn't not even 8:30 a.m. the good part is that she wouldn't have to wait so long for Tai, so they can practice one more time before the show that afternoon, also before the final game at 11 o'clock.

She sipped a bit of her so fucking hot coffee when she heard steps in the cafeteria. Who the hell is in the institute cafeteria at 8:30 a.m. a Saturday?!

She turned around and found Matt.

"Hey" he said coolly while walking.

"Hey" she couldn't help but smiled. He took a seat in front of her in the same table. He had also his breakfast there. They stood in silence for a couple of minutes. Then he asked her.

"What are you doing here, princess?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I run a bit in the morning" she said before biting again his sandwich "you?"

"Basketball practice, but it ended earlier than usual; I supposed it is because of the football game"

They kept talking till nine about everything and other stuff but never mentioning the kiss or their date. At the beginning it was a bit awkward but then it felt so normal and right. Then a red-haired girl showed up.

"Ready?" whispered she in Matt's ear.

"Hi Sora, and yeah, I'm almost done" answered him pointing at his half eaten breakfast.

"Oh, ok. I'll wait for you outside", then she walk away without saying a word to Mimi.

"Ok, what the fucking hell is wrong with her?"

"What?"

"You saw her, she totally ignored me! What did I do?" He looked at her without saying a word. This was really strange, unusual. Since Mimi arrival, Sora hadn't done anything but be with Mimi. After the DATE, Sora had invited Mimi to her house to sleepovers and shopping. They had shared a lot in this last weeks but Mimi never mention the date. It would be really out of line. How would she explain to her the fact that she dated Matt for one day and realized that she still has feeling for him? That would definitely kill her. Sora has been such a great friend for Mimi in this short time and she didn't want that to change. Sora had told her that she was falling for Matt but didn't know if it was love. The only thing she knew is that Matt was everything she wanted in a guy. And because of that she had tried to make him asked her out without being so obvious. But she hadn't been so lucky. He had asked her out just a few times; maybe two or three counting the one Mimi was involved, not more.

Letting everything besides, Mimi had spent a really great time with Sora. They had done so many funny things in the sleepovers, and I'm not talking about 'talking about Matt'. They had played a lot of silly games and also played 'runway'. Mimi used to do it a lot when she was little, and now Sora had really great's ideas for some design so it was really fun for them. Sora had so many interesting things in her house; like lots of costumes and wigs and stuff like that. She also told me that her mother used to be an actress when she was young and because of that she owned all of that great stuff. Some costumes she saw there, Mimi could swore she had seen them recently somewhere else, but she just couldn't picture it.

"I don't think she ignored you, maybe she thought you have already greet each selves before or she just didn't sees you" said Matt avoiding Mimi's glare. What the hell was wrong with them today? First Sora becomes a bitch ignoring her like that and now Matt is defending her?

"Right…" responded Mimi sarcastically and finishing her sandwich.


DING DONG

The bell door was ringing again and again and no one was giving a shit about it.

'FUCK' was the only thing in Tai's mind. Today was going to be a hell of day, he could feel it. He also had the football game and in the afternoon the performance at the institute. He looked up at his watch. 8:30 a.m. 'Shit'

He had only 30 minutes to get dressed, have breakfast and get to the institute in time, if he doesn't wanted getting himself killed by Mimi. He already new that she was strong enough to knock him out he didn't wanted to give her reasons to do it, at least not today, he wasn't in the mood.

DING DONG

'Why the hell has no one answered yet? Do I have to do everything in this house?' he went down the stairs and got the door.

"Hey Tai, is Kari home?" said the boy to an almost naked Tai. He had only his boxers on. Thank god it wasn't Mimi's mother.

"Hi Davis, I think she is. Let me look for her" said Tai letting Davis in and going again upstairs. "Just wait here" was the last thing he said before disappearing.

Tai walked the hall till Kari's bedrooms door. Without knocking he opened the door. "Kari, Davis is down stairs waiting—"he was cut of by a shoe which suddenly appeared on his face.

"Don't you know how to knock?! For god sake Tai, we are trying to dress up!" shouted an angrily Kari.

"Geez sis, you don't have to throw me things! Damn that hurt!" he looked up at his sister. She had her underwear on and an open up button shirt. Then looked to the girl with purple hair standing next to her, she was wearing nothing but a towel. He didn't give a shit if her towel suddenly falls down. He returned his gaze to meets her sisters. "Just hurry up, I have to get ready too and I don't want Davis coming upstairs, ok?" then she shut the door closed and went back to his room.

Just what he needed! An angry sister to make his day better; it was just great.

He looked at his watch again. 8:45a.m. if he didn't hurry up, Mimi was going to be mad and he definitely didn't want to add that to the bad things today. He hoped maybe she could make his day better.

While at Kari's room…

"I swear one day, I'm just going to kill him!" said a still angry Kari to her friend. She stood there quiet. She was still looking at the door. "Yolei, are you ok?" asked Kari. Yolei just watched the door and became red as a tomato. Then her towel fall down so as her body to meet the floor and whispered "You're brother has and incredible body…"

"Oh… Yolei please! Just whipped the drools off your face and get ready. Davis is already here!"

"Ok, ok, but can you asked your brother if he would go out with me?"

"Aren't you hearing me? Get dressed now! We are late!"

"But—"

"I said now!" cried Kari, avoiding Yolei's question; a date with her brother? Yeaah right…


"Mimi, I'm so sorry!"

"Don't worry Tai, you are only 10 minutes late" said Mimi not being mad at all.

"Thanks, I thought you would kill me"

"Why would I kill you?"

"That's what you said yesterday at the phone. I quote, if you don't get on time and made me wait just a little; I swear I'm going to kill you! End of quote." Mimi just smiled at him.

"I wasn't serious, silly. And if I was, you shouldn't have bought me the flowers!"

"Actually the flowers are for the performance. I bought them because before coming, Jaime called me saying that we were out of flowers and that we needed some and you know the rest"

"Oh, such a pity; I thought you were actually being nice with me and behaving like a real gentleman. I think I thought wrong" Mimi was letting the flowers on a table.

"Should we practice one time now or better after the game?"

"Let's do it now, so after the game, we can have lunch and then just relax." Mimi smiled at him. He nodded and followed her to the stage. Both of them took their place and they began practicing.


"So where the hell is Tai? We are already warming up and he is not even here! The trainer didn't let him play the last game or at least the first half, saying it was a lesson he must learn" said Takuya starting to worry.

"And now he is late again! If the trainer found out he won't play today and that means we are going to loose. Thank god, Yamato is here. At least we have a chance…" added another guy from the football team.

The football field was amazing. The decoration matched perfectly with all the emotions that were captured today.

If they won today, they were going to play in the nationals, and that was their real goal. But today was going to be a difficult game. Their adversaries were really good football players and Tai was not here yet. Their captain missing was not really the best way to cheer everyone up.


"These are good seats" said Davis while trying not to fall down the stairs with his Coke and pop-corn.

"Yeah, but why are you bringing all that food? I mean we have just had breakfast at Saik-ito" asked Kari amazed about the capability from Davis to eat.

"And we all know that you didn't had a little breakfast" said TK sarcastically remembering all the food Davis ordered that morning.

"C'mon, let the poor kid alone! He is hungry and he eats all day, that's not new. If he does not get fat with all the stuff he eats everyday, why should we care? Is not like the junk food is going to kill him; now shut up, I'm trying to hear a conversation!" said Yolei focusing again in the blue haired boy from his class and his buddy conversation.

"She…"

"Is…"

"Weird…" said the three of them one after the other.


After a couple of minutes, everybody had taken a seat in the tribunes to watch the game.

"Guys, where is Tai, I had to talk to him" asked Matt reaching some guy of the football team.

"Dun-no" said one.

"He is already late, maybe he is not even coming!" added another one.

"Who is not coming?" asked the trainer. Everybody stood quiet. The trainer looked around. "Where's the captain?" Asked again, kind of pissed, and referring Tai.

"I'm here, why?" everybody turned around and looked furiously at Tai. The trainer just muttered a 'good' and then walked away. There were just 5 minutes left before the game began and he just appeared.

"Where the hell were you?" shouted the whole team to their captain.

"I… was… practicing…"


Mimi took a seat and watched the already started game. She was really pissed about Sora. Why would she act like that? She hadn't done anything to her, right? I mean, Mimi would know right? She looked around and saw TK and Kari sitting together. They were holding hands. It was so cute; it remembered her and Matt when they were together at school. Matt. How did he do that? She thought she was over him. But the truth is that she was definitely not. Who could be over Yamato 'Matt' Ishida? He was the dream guy. He was Mimi's perfect guy and now her world was spinning around because of him.

What would she do?

After one hour and 45 minutes the game was finally over and they were going to the nationals! They won!

Everyone there was shouting lobs and hurrah. Many people run to the football field to congrats the team. Mimi also went down. She was looking for Matt. He had played so awesome today; also Tai but she couldn't find any of them. She turned around and tries to pass people who were in front of her. Once she could reach Tai and congrats him, she looked for Matt. Then her world stops.

She froze and turned immediately around forcing a little smile on her lips and run away. This couldn't be happening. They couldn't be together. She must have seen wrong, Sora couldn't be actually kissing Matt. It was not supposed to happen. Sora was not supposed to kiss him and Matt wasn't supposed to kiss her back. "Shit!!" Was the only thing she could scream once she reached the girls bathroom. She didn't enter but stayed there, with the back on the wall and slowly falling to the ground. She stayed there, without moving, without crying, just quietly. Why does it hurt so much? Mimi was not supposed to fall again for Matt, and they were not supposed to be kissing. But Matt made her believe that he still had feeling for her, and she still has feeling for him. She thought he knew. It was kind of obvious. Didn't he realize that? Was it everything fake? Was he just messing around with her? Was because of that that Sora ignored her? Maybe…maybe not.

The only thing Mimi knew was that she didn't know anything.

"Fuck" whispered her to the wind when she felt an only tears falling down her cheek.

ok, this is drama. but it had to happened ok? next chapter everything will be clearer i promised. this chapter is confusing i know. don't worry. :) so i'm asking now, was Matt playing around with Mimi? didn't he realize anything? as maybe Soras plan? did she found out about Mimi's feelings?

what do you want to happened next? i think i already know. reviews please!

with love,

M.

ps: don't kill me please :) there's a happy ending i promised

i have a question: i haven't lost the point right? i'm not out of line.. hopefully... or am i?
