Party Summer

Chapter 3

It was now 2 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, and the Digidestined were getting ready to play a game of volleyball. Sora wasn't interested though. Ever since she had found out that Matt like Mimi and not her, she had been laying on her towel sulking.
It's so not fair! How could Mimi steal Matt away from me like that!! Well, she didn't exactly steal him from me, since we aren't even together or anything. It's not even her fault that he likes her, oh well. It's Matt who I should be mad at. Well, no, it's not his fault either. Still, it isn't fair!!
"Hey Sora come on and join us!" yelled Ken, pointing to the volleyball net they had set up.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I'll play," said Sora. I am definitely not in the mood for volleyball, she thought.
"Come on Sora!" urged Tai. "It'll be fun! You've been so quiet today since after we went swimming. Is everything ok?"
"Yeah, thanks for asking though," said Sora.
"Well, hurry up, we'll be starting any minute now. If you don't come I'll have to drag you there," he said.
He would drag me, realized Sora. He must really want me to play.
"Fine, I'll play."
They all set up into teams: Sora, Tai, Izzy, Joe, Yolie, and TK were on one, Matt, Mimi, Kari, Ken, Cody, and Davis on another. (I hope I didn't forget anyone)
Matt and Mimi ended up on the same team, noticed Sora. Perfect, just perfect.
They started the game, and the score was now 10 to 9, for Sora's team. Sora was a pretty good volleyball player, and was also pretty competitive, and did anything to get the ball over the net. She was one of her team's leading scorers so far.
Hey, this is really fun, Sora realized. I'm glad Tai convinced me to play.
It was Mimi's turn to serve, but she wasn't a very good volleyball player, and the ball hit the net.
"Nice try Mimi!" said Matt.
Oh brother, thought Sora getting back into a bad mood again, this is getting disgusting. All game Mimi and Matt had been flirting with each other. Sora guessed that they were starting to like each other, and that she wasn't in the picture. Oh well, she thought a bit dejected.
Now TK served for her team, and it went perfectly to Kari. She volleyed it over and TK hit it back. This time Davis got it on the other team and spiked it. It was now TK against Davis. Back and forth they battled, but TK eventually won.
"Nice one TK!" Kari yelled.
"Hey, your supposed to be cheering for your own team!" complained Davis, mad from losing against TK.
TK served again, and Cody hit it over. It went a bit away from Sora.
I can get it! Sora thought, determined to hit it over. She dove for it and-
BANG!!
Sora had just crashed into Tai, who was also going for the ball. She had forgotten that he was a pretty aggressive player as well.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Sora!" Tai said, looking concerned. "Are you OK?"
"It wasn't your fault," explained Sora, "I should have left it. I am OK-" Sora suddenly winced, from a throbbing in her left wrist. "Actually, I think I twisted my wrist, I better take a break."
Tai, feeling a bit guilty then said, "Here, I'll come with you. Joe, where is your first aid kit?"
Sora and Tai found Joe's first aid kit, and sat down on a log on the beach.
Tai, held Sora's wrist, and examined it. Sora blushed a bit. It's like we're holding hands, she thought. It's sweet of him to be so caring about my injured wrist. Tai, sweet? Hmmm.....
With a bandage, Tai then wrapped up her injury firmly. "Thanks Tai," said Sora.
"No prob," said Tai smiling back at her.
"Well......." he said, "I better get back to them game he said, glancing towards their struggling team, with two less players. "You'll be ok?"
"Yeah, I'll manage," said Sora, joking.
Sora then lay on her towel on the beach, and after a while, she fell asleep.

About an half an hour later, Sora woke up from her nap. She surveyed the beach, a bit blearing eyed. Mimi was tanning a couple feet away, some of the Digidestined were making sand castles, Kari and TK were swimming with Davis close behind, and Matt and Tai were playing Frisbee.
Suddenly Tai's throw went wild and rolled towards Sora.
,i>Huh? thought Sora. This is too familiar.
"Here Sora, pass back!" yelled Matt.
Sora grabbed the Frisbee, and expertly threw back the Frisbee to Matt.
"Beautiful throw Sora!" yelled -
Tai?
Yes, Tai said that. Wait a minute... thought Sora. This is backwards. Matt is the one who is supposed to say that. Oh, yeah. I forgot. Matt likes Mimi. Wait a minute. I don't care as much anymore. Why not?
Sora was getting really confused right then. Sitting on her towel she tried to figure everything out. Wasn't she the one who used to have that huge crush on Matt? But now that she found out that he didn't like her, she didn't seem to interested in him anymore. Even though she didn't like Matt anymore, she still was a bit mad and jealous though. It wasn't that she wanted Matt anymore though, it was just that she didn't want Mimi to have him. She couldn't understand how Matt could chose Mimi over her. Does he not think that am I not good enough for him?
