No More Hiding My Feelings

Day one of the school festival was over, and today was day two. We were back in our original spots and booths for the day. Honestly, something was definitely wrong with me today, extremely wrong. Unlike most of the time, I was spacing out today, much more than usual. Ever since last night, everything changed. I left the Opening Night concert as soon as it finished and made little eye contact with any of the band members, especially the lead singer.

I sighed, I was in the Home Ec. room with Tai and T.K making stew for today's menu. Suddenly, it dawned to me that realizing my feelings for him, could be hazardous for my own health. I pulled the cover of the pot, unknowingly with no towel or anything to secure my hands, so when I pulled the cover it just hit me…

"Ouch!" I stated, and the cover dropped on the floor with a CLANG.

"Sora?" It was Tai and I guess he saw what happened then because the next words that came out of his mouth was "Hey, are you okay?"

"What happened?" this time it was T.K. he approached me with Tai as well.

"That hurt…" I mumbled to myself. I was holding down my own hand, which looked like I got burned a bit and the pain still stung.

"Seriously Sora, what the heck happened?" asked Tai worriedly.

"I think she burned herself, that's what it looks like alright." Said T.K as he got a hold of my hand and looked at it.

"It's alright, this is nothing." I tried my best to put up a smile, just to assure them that I'm okay, but whenever I do, my hand stings from the pain.

T.K took my hand and lightly pulled me to the nearest sink. "You should wash this." He stated as he turned on the faucet and let the running water sooth my slightly, but painfully burned hand.

"Thank you T.K. I'm sorry for worrying you and Tai." I told them both. "I can't believe I was this careless!" I scolded myself.

I heard Tai sigh beside me and he pulled out some stool chairs that could be found in one end of the room. He sat in one of the chairs and asked "Does is still hurt?"

"Yeah a little. It doesn't hurt that much anymore but it still stings a lot." I told him with a sigh.

"What in the world's gotten into you today?" he asked me worriedly "You've been spacing out a lot and you never usually act this way."

"I know. Sorry Tai, I just have a lot on my mind." I told him, and if only he knew how true that was.

I wasn't looking at Tai, or T.K. I wasn't making eye contact with either of them. I watched as the water ran through my burnt hand and then it wasn't long before T.K shut the faucet off. "Thanks again T.K."

"No problem, wait here okay? I'll go get some bandages and burn medicine downstairs." Said T.K with a smile.

"Oh you don't need to do that. I'm fine." I told him. I've caused way too much trouble already.

"I want to. It's better than leaving your hand that way. It might just sting some more." Said T.K "I'll be right back okay?"

I could no longer stop him and I just heard Tai spoke "You be careful T.K."

"I will." Replied T.K before he completely left the room.

Tai and I were left in utter silence, but I knew it wouldn't last long. Soon enough, Tai spoke again, and I knew that there was no way I was getting out of this.

"Sora, seriously, answer my question." Said Tai.

"I already told you, I'm fine." I insisted. I knew better than to think our conversation was going to end there and then.

"Right, you're fine? Please. You're completely out of it today. I mean, look at what just happened. You burned your hand." Said Tai.

"This happens to anyone Tai. It was just a mere accident." I replied with a sigh. I still couldn't look at him.

"This coming from you? Plus the fact that you didn't even have a pot holder when you took out the cover?" said Tai.

"…" I had no answer to that one.

"See? You're good at cooking Sor, you know all the basics, and there was no way that you'd forget to use a pot holder if you weren't spacing out so much." Said Tai knowingly. "Spacing out and burning things is my job remember?" he began to joke lightly about it. At least he wasn't that mad.

"I know…I know I was….careless." I told him.

"The question to answer now is why you were careless this way in the first place?" asked Tai. I had to give him some kind of answer or he wouldn't let me go.

"I…" before I could reply, T.K came in with the medicine and bandages.

"Sorry if it took so long." Said T.K apologetically.

"Nah, you were pretty fast T.K." replied Tai with a light smile "Thanks man."

"Not a problem. So, um Sora?" asked T.K as he looked at me. I had to make eye contact with him now. I didn't have any other options.

"Yes?" I asked him.

"Can I have a look at your hand again?" he asked me "I'll apply the burn medicine and then put a bandage over it if it's alright."

"Sure thing T.K." I replied managing a slight smile.

We sat down on the other two chairs that Tai had pulled out and he placed the medicine where the burn mark was and then covered my hand in a bandage. I still had a bit of trouble with moving my hand even with the bandage on, because the burn would still be a bit painful, but I could handle it.

"How is it?" asked T.K.

"Better, thanks." I replied as I stared at my hand. "Thank you again T.K."

"You guys don't need to thank me so much you know." Said T,K with a light laugh. And then he was suddenly serious "But, what happened back there Sora? Are you feeling okay today?"

"I'm fine. Just have a lot of things in my head." I told him.

"Why not take a break then? We can handle things here, can't we Tai?" asked T.K as he faced Tai.

Tai simply nodded. "Yeah, sure we can. If you need some rest, all you had to do was ask Sor, what's important is that you feel better."

"I messed up didn't I?" I asked them.

"No you didn't." said T.K "Something just seems to be bothering you today for some reason."

"…." I stayed silent, not knowing what to say again.

"Why don't you take a break today? Go back to the dorm and come back when you're okay." Said Tai "You have a proper excuse to skip today anyway, since we had a little accident, so you might as well take it."

"I don't know about that Tai…" I replied. I mean, there was no way I wanted to leave and let them do all the work, that just wouldn't be fair.

"Come on Sora, it's better than staying here when you really don't feel like it. And who knows, you might feel better after resting." Said T.K with a smile.

"We'll be fine here Sor, so what do you say?" asked Tai.

"I guess…I kind of need it. I need some time to think." I told him honestly. I could at least tell him that much.

"Alright. I'll call Meems over here to take you back to the dorm. Wait here for me to come back okay?" he told me.

"Okay…" I replied. After what happened, I doubt Tai would let me go anywhere on my own today, I knew that much, so I didn't bother arguing when he said he'd call Meems.

"I'll be right back. Take care of her while I'm gone alright T.K?" said Tai.

"I will." Replied T.K. Now I was sure that there was no way I could escape. I had a guard after all.

Tai then left, and this time T.K and I were left alone. I sighed and then T.K suddenly spoke to me and said "Are you sure you can wait a little longer? I can take you to your dorm now if you really have to."

"No, I'll be fine waiting. You've already done enough for me now T.K. I don't want to trouble you further." I stated. T.K was a really sweet kid, a perfect fit for Kari.

"Oh it's no trouble." He assured me. Later, after a few more seconds he asked "So, Sora, what's been bothering you? That is, if you don't mind me asking. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

I shook my head and replied "It's nothing like that. I just…I really just have to think about a lot of things right now."

"I see." He stated "It's just that ever since last night, you suddenly left the concert and just disappeared."

I blinked and then asked "Oh, was anyone looking for me. I'm sorry to have left early; I was just tired that's all." I felt so bad about lying like this to T.K…

T.K looked at me then shook his head. "Was it something my brother did?" he asked me.

My eyes suddenly widened in shock and I spoke "W-what makes you think that?" "How in the world did he know?"

"Well, after the concert, Tai said that you excused yourself, but then never came back. All of us started looking for you, and when we gathered again, the others said they couldn't find you in the area." Said T.K.

"Oh…" Now I feel bad for making the others worry.

"We figured that, since we split up, if you had stayed then we should have seen you." Said T.K.

"Why do you think your brother is bothering me then?" I asked him quietly. "Great now I couldn't even say his name anymore."

"As I said, they said they couldn't find you. Although, my brother was the last one that went back, and he said that he saw you heading to your dorm. He followed you and tried calling you, but you wouldn't pick up or even look at him when he called your name." said T.K.

Right, that was about the part last night when I went on completely ignoring him. "I'm really sorry about last night T.K." I told him.

"It's fine, but if it's something my brother did, please tell me." Said T.K.

"No, I don't think it's really something he did. In fact, he did nothing wrong." I said honestly. Right now, all this is just me. My thoughts and worries are clouding in my head. No one else is at fault.

"Then why couldn't you look at him Sora? I'm curious. He's my brother and he was worried about you entirely all night." Said T.K "And something tells me that he still is, even up till now."

"…" It's not like I want to avoid him, but something in me is just…I don't know. And there was no way I was telling T.K that.

"Sora?" I heard him call me. I looked up and he spoke again. "Can you promise me something?" he asked.

"Yeah?" I asked him "What is it?"

"I'm not forcing you to tell me what's wrong, but…please, if you ever figure things out, talk to someone about it. And if you can, talk to my brother again…okay?" he told me.

"Don't worry T.K. I just need some time for myself right now. When I get to think things through, I promise I'll go talk to him." I told him with a slight smile. "But…to be honest with you T.K, even I'm not sure when that'll be."

"You don't need to rush anything. Take as much time as you need to sort things out." Said T.K "I kind of understand how you feel."

"Thank you. Thanks for being understanding about this situation. This is something new for me, which might be the reason why I can't hide my actions from everyone." I replied.

"I'm sure you'll figure something out and find your answer soon Sora." Said T.K with a smile.

The two of us continued to talk about random things, as we waited for Tai. He dropped the topic about last night, and I think he knew I was uncomfortable talking about it. We continued to talk about other things, and to be honest, T.K was extremely good company.

While Sora and T.K were talking…

Tai's P.O.V

I just got out of the home economics room to find Meems. Whatever's been bugging Sor must be something big. She's never acted like this is a long time, and that's seriously long for me. I haven't seen her for four whole years until she transferred here and so this is something big for me to see too. As much as I wanted to know what's been bugging her, she needs some time alone. I can see that much.

If I think about it, she's been like this since last night, and if what Yamato said was true, that she wouldn't even look at him, then this has to involve him. Why else would Sor suddenly dash out of the concert last night? But from the looks of it, Yamato himself doesn't seem to know what he did or what's been going on.

As I walked around, I finally found Meems with Koushiro, and they were near our booth talking to Cassie. It seems like they split up with Davis, Cody and everyone else today, probably to get some time to themselves, even for a little while.

"Meems!" I called her and she turned around almost immediately after she heard my voice.

I approached them and she greeted me with a smile "Hey there Tai!"

"Hi Taichi." Greeted Cassie.

"Hello Tai. What brings you here?" asked Koushiro.

"Now that you mention it, shouldn't you be with Sor and T.K in the Home Ec. Room or something?" asked Meems curiously.

"Yeah, about that…I actually came here because I wanted to talk to you." I told her.

"Oh? What about?" asked Meems.

"It's about Sor, kind of personal, but I don't know really…" I said as I placed a hand at the back of my head.

"Do you guys want some time alone to talk? I can leave if you need me to." Said Cassie.

"No! I mean, you don't have to do that." Said Tai "In fact, I want to know what you think about it too."

"Okay…" said Cassie "Sounds like it's something urgent."

"It kinda is." I replied.

"So, what is it that you wanted to talk to us about?" asked Meems "What happened to Sora?"

"Well, she's acting weird today. I mean, she's been acting weird since last night." I explained "I mean, have you seen her act herself at all today?"

"Um Tai…we haven't seen her yet for the duration of the day. She's been rather busy." Said Koushiro, okay he had a good point there.

"Okay, fine…" I replied.

"Why do you say she's not acting herself Tai?" asked Meems.

"I came here to get you to take her home actually. Home as in, back inside the dorm." I told Meems "She accidentally burned herself just a few minutes ago."

"What? Is she alright?" Asked Meems worriedly "What in the world happened Tai?"

"That's just it Meems, I have no clue what's going on." I replied honestly.

"Have you tried talking to her?" asked Cassie.

"Yeah, I have. Heck, even T.K has. He's with him right now, and I'm not so sure if he got something out of her yet." I explained "She knows all there is to know about cooking, and she just pulled the cover of the pot without a pot holder, therefore resulting to a minor burn."

"Has she been treated?" asked Koushiro.

"Yeah. T.K got some bandages and burn medicine for her." I replied. "Come on, don't you think that's weird?"

"it could have just been an accident Taichi." Said Cassie.

"I doubt it. Have you guys forgotten that she bolted out on us last night without telling anyone?" I reminded them. "And today, she's been totally out of it."

"So, in short, you think whatever happened last night during the concert, and how she's acting now, are…connected somehow?" asked Koushiro and I nodded.

"They could be. It's the highest possibility isn't it?" I asked.

"I see….and now that I think back, Yamato also mentioned that she wouldn't even look at him when he called her. That itself is strange." Said Meems.

"That would have to mean that this problem of hers has to have something to do with Yamato then." Said Cassie.

"My thoughts exactly." I replied "I mean, she hasn't even seen Yamato all day and it looks more like she's actually avoiding him."

"Doesn't look like Yamato knows what's going on either." Said Koushiro. "In the end, if this goes on, Sor might not even try to talk to him, and who knows how long that's going to take before she does."

"Knowing Sora, we need to force something out of her before we get it. She'll never tell us what's wrong if we wait for her to do it." Said Meems.

"Why don't you try to talk to her the Mimi? And then Tai can try to talk to Yamato. That way, you two can see two sides of one story." Suggested Cassie.

"That could be a good idea actually. That way you guys will know what Yamato and Sora both think of the current situation." Said Koushiro in agreement.

"Okay then. That sounds like a good enough plan." Said Meems "What do you think Tai? Think you can talk to Yamato today?" she asked me.

"Sure, that's going to be easy for me." I told her with a grin.

"Good. Then it's settled then. Hopefully, I'll get something out of her." Said Meems. "I'll head over to the Home Ec. Room right now okay? You try and go to Yamato and the other guys in the music room."

"Okay, deal." I replied and with that, I waved goodbye to them, thanked Cassie for her suggestion and headed straight for the music room. Yamato and I are going to have one guy to guy talk…man I sound girly…

Back Inside the Home Ec. Room

Sora's P.O.V

I was talking with T.K when Meems suddenly turned up inside the Home Ec. Room. I smiled when I saw her and then I spoke "Hey there Meems." I greeted.

"Hey there Sora. Hi to you too T.K." she told us.

"Hey Mimi." Said T.K with a smile.

"I heard what happened from Tai." She told me. "Can I see your hand?"

"Sure thing." I replied as Meems held my hand and looked at it. She sighed and spoke "Goodness Sora…"

"Sorry about this Meems." I told her.

"No problem, but you seriously have to be more careful you know?" Meems told me "But at least it's not that serious."

"Yeah, I was lucky enough for that." I told her with a sigh.

"So, do want me to accompany you to your dorm?" she asked me.

"Sure thing." I stood up and then looked over at T.K "Sorry for all the trouble that I caused T.K. And for making you guys do all the work today."

"Nothing to be sorry about Sora." Said T.K with a smile "As long as you feel better, and I hope you get your thoughts straight soon."

"I will, thanks." I told him "I'll see you soon T.K."

"You too Sora, take care." He told me as I was walking out the room with Meems. "Bye."

"Bye." I called back as we left.

As I was walking with Mimi, I started to wonder where the others were and why she was really the only one that showed up here. "Meems…" I started "Where's Tai and the others by the way?"

"I met up with Tai and he said he had some things he needed to attend to. As for everyone else, they're walking around to who knows where." Said Meems with a light laugh.

"So, you're going with me to the dorm?" I asked her.

She nodded and replied "Yeah, I'll take you there and I'll even stay with you."

"Are you sure? You can leave me right after we get there you know? I can manage on my own. Besides, you might want to stay here with the others." I replied.

"No way. I'll gladly stay with you Sora." Said Mimi with a smile "Besides, we have…a lot of things to talk about. Trust me."

"Huh?" Now I was confused. Something tells me Tai told her something…and I didn't like where this was going.

"Just trust me Sor. It's for you too." Said Meems "You'll find out when we get there, come on we can't waste precious time now."

The two of us continued to walk to the dorm and I could only help but wonder what kind of 'talk' she was talking about. If there was one thing similar about Tai and Meems, it's the fact that whenever they wanted to have some kind of talk with me, there was no way I was getting my way out of it. They want a talk, they're going to get it, and that's just because I don't have a choice.

Tai's P.O.V

I walked quickly to the music room, and wondered what Mimi and Sor are doing now. "Meems probably got to her by now, and they're probably on their way to the dorm…" I thought to myself. I must have been too occupied in my thoughts to notice that someone was coming my way.

"Ouch!" I fell flat on the floor with a THUD.

"Oh man, Tai, I am so sorry. You okay?" the voice asked, and if I didn't know better, I'd have to say that was Yutaka.

"Hey man. It's fine." I replied with a laugh as I got up.

"What's up with you Tai? Shouldn't you be at you booth? Or…the Home Economics room?" he asked me confused.

"I'm on an…emergency break or something like that. Something kind of happened and I need to talk to Yamato." I told him and then I asked "Speaking of which, shouldn't you be in the music room? Don't you guys have rehearsals or something? You guys have another show tonight right?"

They have shows every night until the last day, but their like mini-concerts. They play a few gigs and then leave. Their performance during opening and closing night are the longest ones they've got, and are the most important ones too.

"Yeah we do. We're on break too. What happened? Something wrong?" he asked.

"Kind of, I need to talk to Yamato, he'll know what to do…hopefully…" I said with a sigh.

"Something to do with Sora?" Yutaka asked with a smirk.

"Yup, you got it man." I said with a laugh.

"Come on, I want to know what happened too. Yamato's just in the music room, right this way. I was on my way back too." He said as the two of us began to walk towards the music room.

When the two of us got to the music room, the whole band was there. "Perfect. I can talk to Yamato and get some opinion from the others."

As we walked inside, the guys and I greeted each other before I sat down on one of the seats. Yutaka started tapping the edges of the drums with the drumsticks, Akira played a few notes on his keyboard and Takashi was strumming his guitar while Yamato was writing a few notes on a score sheet.

"Hey Tai." Said Yamato as he looked at me. "Nice to see you here. You on break?" he asked me.

I nodded and smiled a bit "Yeah."

"Sora isn't with you?" asked Akira. They must be used to seeing Sora with me a lot now.

"Nope, she…she's with Meems right now." I replied.

"What's up then Tai? Is something wrong?" asked Yamato.

"Nothing much…." I started and then I got straight to the point. "Sora accidentally burned herself a while ago before I came here."

Suddenly, all the sounds inside the room stopped. The tapping of the drums, strumming of the guitar and the playing of the keyboard, nothing was heard. Everything was in utter silence and Yamato didn't look so well.

"I-Is she alright? What in the world happened Tai?" asked Yamato, I know he was trying not to panic and all, but he was really worried.

"How did it happen Tai?" asked Akira, he seemed worried too. Something tells me that they all were.

"Calm down you guys. It was nothing serious, she accidentally got burned because she forgot to use a pot holder to lift up a hot lid, it's a minor burn and all. T.K helped get the burn medicine in the clinic and Meems went with her back to the dorm." I explained to them and I heard most of them sigh in relief.

"Thank goodness it was nothing serious." Said Akira with a small smile.

"How is she now?" asked Takashi.

"Fine I guess. She said she was okay." I told them.

"She forgot to use a pot holder? Don't you think that's kind of odd for someone like Sora?" asked Yamato.

"I know. That's why I'm certain she must have been spacing out earlier." I replied honestly. "Something's gotten into her."

Yamato sighed "Why do I have a feeling this is about something that I did?" he asked.

"Dude, relax. What makes you guys think that anyway?" asked Takashi.

"I told you, she wouldn't even look at me. She hasn't talked to me since opening night, and now…I don't know." Said Yamato.

"You think this is because you kissed her yesterday?" I asked him.

"You did what?" asked the others in complete shock.

"Is that it? Man I am so stupid." Muttered Yamato. "Darn…"

"Yamato, I don't think that's it. Not completely anyway." Said Akira "If you did so, she must need some time to think, but I don't think she's angry. That wouldn't be like her."

"Akira's right. Calm down. I actually came here to talk to you about her." I told him. "I want to know something…"

"What's that?" asked Yamato.

"Do you like Sora? I mean, seriously like her? Can you even say that you're…" before I could continue, he cut me off, finished my sentence and answered my question.

"If you're going to ask me if I'm falling for her then yes Tai, I'm falling in love with Sora. Man that was a stupid confession…" he told me.

"Then you know what you have to do." I replied "Talk to her about it. If you really think that whatever's bothering her has something to do with you, shouldn't you sort things out with her?"

"I guess, but she won't even look at me. How am I supposed to make her actually listen to me?" he asked me.

"Make her listen to you Yamato." Said Yutaka. "Corner her and talk to her."

"She won't run away for you forever." Said Takashi "She's going to face you sooner or later and you know it. Just like what Akira said, she just needs some time to think."

"Talk to her, now could be a good time." I suggested "She's with Meems in her dorm room, you can stop by and ask her about it."

"Alright, I don't think I can take her not even looking at me for the entire week." Admitted Yamato.

"There you go. We had enough practice today anyway." Said Yutaka "Go get her man."

"You can do it Yamato." Said Akira with a smile.

"Thanks guys." Said Yamato as he began to walk out of the music room and headed for the dorm. As I watched him leave, I only hoped that Meems was able to convince Sora to talk to him. I know Yamato's got good intentions, and he wanted to talk to her, he wanted to know what was up, but that would only happen if both of them were willing to give the other a chance to talk.

Sora's P.O.V

Meems and I talked about my…problem, which she didn't consider a problem. She told me that this was normal, and the only reason that I was feeling so uneasy right now because I feel as though I have no chance, and in a sense, she was right. I told her about my feelings for…him…and she just smiled and told me that it was a natural thing to fall in love. It does not feel natural, definitely not.

"Meems, I really think that this is…" I was about to tell her again why this isn't a good thing when she cut me off.

"Oh no, I do not want to hear it." Said Meems "Aren't you supposed to be happy that you've finally realized your feelings for the guy?"

"I told you no. It's becoming rather hazardous for me." I told her with a sigh. "Besides, it's not like I can just tell him that."

"Of course you can, although it's better for the guy to be the one making the first move and all, but still, these are you feelings." Said Meems.

"I can keep it to myself." I replied.

"That's not going to end well. I mean, look at what happened to you today, a total disaster." Meems told me with a sigh. "If you keep keeping things buried inside of you, you might end up having an emotional breakdown."

"Then what do you suggest I do?" I asked.

"Let it out. Admit it. Tell someone or even something how you feel. You don't necessarily need to tell him when you're not ready, but you have to let it out somehow." She explained "That way, you don't have to keep things bottled up inside of you all the time."

"…" I kept silent as she continued.

"You can tell an object, you don't even need to tell a person, just pour it all out. It's better than keeping it all inside of you. If you do that, things like this could happen again, and you'd never be able to move on and get over it." Said Meems.

"So, you want me to pour it out…and that way I can just forget this whole thing happened." I muttered silently.

"No." she told me. She must have heard. "You need to think about your feelings too. Don't keep pushing yourself away."

"But if I keep going like this, my feeling could just…it could get worse, and it would eventually ruin our friendship." I told her.

"Did you ever think that maybe he feels the same way?" asked Meems.

"No, why would I?" I replied "I'm nothing special, plus I'm not like other girls…" I sighed.

"Now you're just downgrading yourself." Said Meems "Don't do that. You're a great person Sora. You used to tell us that we had qualities that made us special and who we are. You have them too."

"Thanks Meems, but…I don't know anymore." I told her.

"I'll leave you to think okay? If you reach a solution, tell me. Just try and think about it alright?" said Meems as she got us and started to walk out the door. "And if you ever feel like it, just try pouring it all out. You never know, you might feel better."

"Thank you." I told her.

"Any time." Said Meems as she waved and left my room.

That had been the end of our conversation, but even after that, I still felt rather uneasy. I stood up from my bed and walked out the room. I took my keys with me, locked the door, and started walking. I didn't know where I was going, as long as I had some time to think.

I started to think about what Meems said "And if you ever feel like it, just try pouring it all out. You never know, you might feel better." That's what she told me, and I guess it made some sense. It might actually make me feel better.

As I continued to walk, I found myself on the floor of the guys dorm. I didn't bother looking at which room I was near to or who was in there. It didn't matter to me. I figured that everyone was at the school fair. "Make me feel better….I wonder how that will work for me…" I thought about it and I finally reached a decision.

I smiled softly "I have no chance…probably…but…before I try to forget my feelings and shut them away…I have to at least give this a shot…"

I breathed deeply, opened my mouth, closed my eyes and spoke "I love him. I love Yamato Ishida." Meems was right. That…made me feel a whole lot better. I let it all out and now I'm satisfied. Yamato's my friend, and I won't ask for more than that.

I turned around to go back to my room and as I did so, I stopped. As I turned, Yamato stood there looking at me with what seemed like a mixture of shock and some other emotion imprinted on his face. I stood frozen solid. I confessed to no one, to nothing, and no one was supposed to hear me…but….WHAT IN THE WORLD IS YAMATO DOING HERE?
