Friends, Love, or War? (Ch.5)
Sigh...... Major writer's block. I don't even know what I'm writing anymore, so this might be a bit, uh, weird. Please review. And um, give me suggestions. If I don't know what to write, I'll probably end this here or the next chapter. Of course, if somebody gives me good ideas, I'll continue this. Enjoy! ^^
Disclaimer: Whatever. Digimon's not mine.

Friends, Love, or War?
Chapter 5
Story by: Wings

"Tai, I'm going for dinner now. Are you coming or not?!" Izzy asked irritably, as he drummed his fingers on his pineapple laptop (yes, Izzy still has that kawaii laptop ^^) impatiently. Tai said he would be coming with him but Izzy had been waiting for more than half an hour already and Tai still isn't out of the bathroom.
Checking for the last time that his hair was perfect, Tai came out and joined Izzy to the cafeteria. "Is Matt coming too?"
"I don't know. I tried to phone him, but his roommate said he hasn't come back to the room since he left in the afternoon." Izzy answered, and thought that roommate's voice sounded familiar.
Grinning good naturedly, Tai said, "He'll show up eventually. Everybody needs to eat dinner, remember?"
Izzy put on a I-give-up expression. Shaking his head while sighing, he asked himself mentally, 'Does everything Tai think of has to relate to food??'
They reached the cafeteria, and both of them ordered spaghetti and cream broccoli soup. Settling down at a table, they ate and chatted the night off.

(A/N: I decided to skip a bit here. If I go on rambling about their daily lives, this fic will end up so long that I don't even want to see it. So I think I'm just going to go on with their first day of courses... Yeah, and Matt's still angry at Joe and Sora... you get the idea.)

"Hi, my name is Ms. Shigeta, and I'm your teacher for Art Design 305. Even though this is our first class, I'm going to assign you a small project anyhow." Ignoring groans from the students, Ms. Shigeta continued, "I've put up a list of names on the overhead, and they're names for partnering. You will stick with that partner for the rest of the semester, or unless I think changes are necessary. Now, please find your partner and move, then I shall continue further explanation."
The not too big class winced and looked at the screen. Sora squinted, muttering, "Hm. Sora Takenouchi... Takenouchi... Ah, there! Who's that beside my name? Matt Ishida?"
At the same time, Matt scanned through the list of names, "Ishida... There it is. Who's that beside me? Sora Takenouchi? I hope that person's not a girl..."
Sora broke in, "I suppose you're Matt Ishida?"
"Sora Takenouchi?" Matt raised an eyebrow.
Nodding slightly, Sora pouted, "Guess we're stuck together."
Matt retorted, "Now I wouldn't call it heaven."
"You think I'm enjoying this idea a lot?!" Sora snapped back.
"Wow. I'm so scared. Takenouchi is getting mad, huh?"
Sora snickered, "Did some of your gel leaked into your brain again?"
Matt was about to strangle Sora as Ms. Shigeta came and broke them up, "What's with you two? Ishida, Takenouchi, go and sit behind that desk. I don't want anymore complaints from you."
Ignoring Matt, Sora walked over and sat down without a word, while Matt had no choice but to do the same.
"Okay, class." Ms. Shigeta cleared her throat, "The project is fashion design. You need to take a good look at your partner, and design an outfit that you think would go best with him or her. I would be looking for creativity, and sketching skills. You can choose whatever media you wish, and it would be due next week. I'm leaving the entire class for you to interact with your partners, and there will be handouts and notes distributed."
Immediately after the speech, the students began chattering. As to Matt and Sora... they sat there staring at each other, but not saying anything. Only that Matt looked at Sora with more fury in his eyes, and Sora with more annoyance.
Sora studied Matt's appearance as she took mental notes, 'Golden blonde hair, spiked with who know how many bottles of gel he used, clear blue eyes, full lips...' she paused as she swayed her glance towards his body, 'generally thin, but seems to be pretty muscular, kinda tall, maybe one or two inches taller than me. He actually looks pretty good in the navy blue shirt and cargo pants...'
As the staring war continued on, Matt took a good look at Sora, a thing that he never did before, 'Long auburn hair that looks very soft, lively crimson eyes, rosy cheeks, small yet juicy lips... She's actually kinda attractive...' he shook that thought out as he continued gazing at Sora, 'looks pretty tall, thin, but she's got a great body though. Lean muscles... probably an athlete. The white turtleneck and flares looks good on her...'
A while later, Sora tore her gaze from Matt and made a few scribbles in her sketchbook. She slammed it shut as the teacher told them it was time to leave. "See ya later, Ishida."
Frowning, Matt called out, "That goes for you too, Takenouchi!"

"Hi, I'm Joe Kido. I think I met you the day before?"
Izzy turned around and saw Joe's smiling face, "Uh, yeah. I'm Izzy Izumi. Nice to meet you. You're taking Calculus 414 too?"
"Yup. I need to take it as a pre req. into the medical department. I suck at math though." Joe shrugged.
Nodding, Izzy replied, "I see. I have to take this, since it's part of my course requirements."
"Um, Izzy?" Seeing the redhead's questioning gaze, Joe asked, "Do you happen to be friends with Matt Ishida?"
Izzy blinked a few times, "Yes, what's with Matt?"
Joe grinned nervously, "Uh, I kinda got him mad yesterday, and I don't know how to apologize. He won't even talk to me."
Laughing, Izzy said, "It's okay. Matt just likes to act all cool and tough. He probably didn't mind, but if you want to say sorry, just go ahead and say it right in front of his face."
"Thanks, Izzy. You think we can be friends?" Joe smiled warmly.
Izzy returned the smile, "We are already, aren't we?"

Did you like this? I'm sorry Mimi isn't here in this part, but she's definitely going to be in the next chapter! And again, this is not going to be a Mimato! If you read stories by me earlier, you should know what couples I prefer...
Anyways, since you've bothered to read the story and all the a/n's, why don't you review too? ^__^
