Meeting of Friends & Enemies
"You
know Matt, you really should have that eye looked at." Said Jack as they walked up towards the
changing rooms.
"Nah,
it'll be fine" Matt replied.
Izzy was the first to enter
the changing rooms; it was dark inside as it had no windows, and all but one of
the lights had blown.
"Wow,
I hadn't realised what a dump this place was before." Said Tai as he entered behind Izzy.
"It
looks the same to me." Replied
Matt, still clutching his eye and pretending it didn't hurt.
"With
that eye I'm surprised you can see at all." Said Jack, the last one to
enter the changing rooms. Tai and Matt
burst out laughing, while it seemed Izzy was contemplating advanced theories of
relativity. Just then a cubical door
was kicked open, it was Will.
"I'm
gonna get you back for getting me a detention!" He said, kicking bags and clothes out of his path.
"Come
on Matt, we can take him!" shouted Tai, putting his bag down and his fists
up. Will made a charge, Matt and Tai
stood ready, but then, from nowhere a foot flew under Will's path making him
trip and bang his head on the benches, it was Jacks.
"Errr,"
Will groaned "I'm gonna get you for that." He made an attempt to get
to his feet but he slipped on the muddy floor and banged his head once
again.
"Come
on you guys," called Izzy from the doorway. "Lets get moving!" They all ran to the door and turned it in one fluid movement, except for
Matt who banged his shoulder on the door due to his double vision.
"I
can't believe she gave me a Detention!" shouted Mimi crossly, "That's
so unfair!" Mimi was almost in
tears now, knowing how upset and angry her father would be if he found
out.
"Calm
down Mimi, it can't be that bad, can it?" asked Mia.
"You
don't" she stopped to sniff and wipe away a tear "Know my
daddy." On saying daddy she burst
out into tears. Although Mia and Sora
tried as hard as they could to calm her, it still took around 10 minutes. They eventually convinced Mimi to go the
office, although they don't know why they sent Mimi there, what could they
do? On arriving at the small lone
classroom, they called "The English Hut" and opening the door they
were greeted by a cold stare from the teacher
"And
where have you been?" He said. Sora struggled to think of an answer, and came back with
"Err
sorry sir." This made the teacher
look even madder.
"Do
you think an apology is enough? You two
have Detention, now take a seat." Mia and Sora sat down next to Joe on the second to back row. Behind them sat Matt, Jack, Tai and
Izzy.
"Unlucky,"
whispered Tai to Sora "But don't worry, I got detentions as well so we'll
see you there." Jack turned and
looked at Tai funnily.
"Wow,
what a lucky girl! I wish I had a
detention with Tai 'sigh'." Jack
said to Matt a little louder then he had intended. Matt laughed, in fact, so did Tai and the rest of the class.
"Do
you have something you want to say Jack?" Mr. Sprose asked.
"No
sir, I was just saying to Matt that this is such a great lesson" Jack
replied.
"Really? Then you won't mind spending a detention with me at the end of the day." Mr Sprose finished. Jack looked at the floor, then came back another answer.
"That's
okay, too much of a good thing can ruin it." Jack said smiling. Mr
Sprose looked puzzled, in his whole career nobody had ever spoken back to him
like that. Then he smiled.
"Alright
then, you can have a detention with somebody else." Mr Sprose laughed. Jack instantly replied.
"Yay,
now I get to spend Detention with Tai!" Everybody laughed, except Mr Sprose, who simply replied with:
"Anymore
calling out and you will have a detention for the rest of your life. Now be quiet!" The rest of the lesson went quickly after
that, Jack didn't make anymore jokes, in fact he hardly spoke at all. The bell rang, or rattled, it sounded more
like a rattle but the teachers insisted on saying it rang. They were all dismissed, and went off to
enjoy their break.
"So
you've all got detentions?!" asked Joe, although it sounded more like he
accused them.
"Well,
no. I haven't got one yet." Said Izzy.
"But
the rest have!" said Joe in his accusing voice. "How could you all get detentions!? It's not possible!" Matt stopped his conversation with Jack and
turned to face Joe.
"You
forget Joe, we're the Digi-destined, we can do anything." Everybody gave Matt a cold stare, except Mia
and Jack
"What
are the Digi-destined?" Jack asked. Everybody looked confused; you could tell they were trying to think of
an answer.
"Err
Well its..." Joe said desperately thinking for an answer.
"It
was some team we entered, in a soccer competition." Tai interrupted. Then Matt continued as best he could.
"We
didn't do very well, as you saw earlier, Izzy wasn't the best goal keeper
around." Jack and Mia laughed
while the others sighed with relief then started staring at Matt again. The bell rang again, so they split up again,
Matt and Jack went to Maths, Izzy, Tai and Joe went to I.T, and the girls went
off to social studies.
On the way to Maths, Jack
turned and asked Matt.
"Okay,
I'm the best liar I know. So I could
tell that you lot were lying about the Digi-destined thing. What really is it?" Matt turned pale, should he really tell his
new friend about his adventures in the Digi-World? Would Jack think he's crazy? "No, I must tell him," Matt thought, "He's my best friend
since Gabumon." So Matt told Jack
everything, how they had defeated Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, then the Dark
Masters and finally Apocolymon. And
then even more about the evil Digimon Emperor and all the other stuff and how
thanks to them the world is safe once again. Jack gave Matt and funny look, then said,
"Wow,
I was wrong. You're the best liar I
know. You could write a book, maybe
make a T.V show." Jack said trying
to hold back the laughter.
Matt
sighed; he knew Jack wouldn't believe him. But for some reason he wanted him to. They walked into Maths and sat down. Matt wasn't any good at Maths, but Jack told him some of the answers
and, most importantly, didn't get caught. Jacks face turned pale, Matt wondered what was wrong, and then noticed
it for himself. Will was sitting in the
front row staring at them.
"I
have an idea." Said Jack, finally breaking the silence.
"Feel
free to let me know." Whispered
Matt.
"Well,
its simple. We just Digi-volve and step
on him." Jack laughed and continued. "No, seriously, we just get him sent out." He finished. Matt thought that this was a dump plan.
"How
are we gonna do that?" Matt
asked. Jack expected this question.
"I
walk over to him, then throw a pencil at you. You then say it hit you in the eye, and say he did it. He then gets sent out." Jack
whispered. Matt still thought this was
stupid but he didn't want to argue..
"Okay,
lets do it." Matt replied. Jack stood up and walked over towards
Will. "RRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG" The bell went. It was lunch. Will got up and walked over towards Jack.
"What
do you want?!" Will shouted as he
pushed all the kids trying to get into lunch out of his way. Jack was lost for words.
"I
was just wondering If" Jack said calmly. "If…" He turned and pushed Will backwards. He tripped over a chair and fell over.
"Come
on Matt!" Jack shouted as he
grabbed Matt's arm. They ran out of the
classroom and continued down the Hall.
Izzy loved I. T, that and
Math were his two best subjects. He walked in with Tai and Joe and took a seat.
The teacher started explaining how to do a certain program on the computer.
Izzy took out his laptop and started typing away, trying to create a program of
his own. He didn't need to pay attention, he already knew just as much as the
teacher, probably more. So as class slowly went along they were moved to the
computers and started working. Izzy finished the program so quickly he had
still a half an hour of class left. So he started searching around in the
school computer's files. He explored for awhile and found nothing interesting.
Getting an idea that even he thought was stupid, he brought up the
"Search" menu and typed in "Digimon". It started to search.
Izzy knew it would take a long time for the computer to read all of the files,
so he leaned back in his chair and looked around the room. Then there was a
snapping and sizzling, followed by a scream.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Izzy jumped out of his chair. Joe
was sitting at the computer across from him, moaning and staring at his
computer. Izzy walked around the desk and looked at Joe's computer. The screen
was black.
"What
did you do?" asked Izzy, staring at the blank screen. Joe shook his head,
eyes bulging.
"I
swear! I didn't do it! I didn't touch anything!" he yelled desperately.
Izzy cocked his head.
"And
that's why the computer brake down?" he asked sceptically.
"I don't know why it happened! It just did." Joe slumped down in his seat. Izzy started to examine the computer, muttering to himself.
"Maybe the monitor went haywire, or I suppose the display card could have quit on you. Though, I'm not sure why. Maybe it was too old. Or it could have been over worked, or…" He went on like that as he ran his fingers along the monitor. He got to the disk drive and scowled. A small amount of smoke came from the drive. Izzy pushed the "eject" button carefully and out popped and floppy. Izzy picked it up and peered at it. It was black and the medal piece at the end was shrivelled and half-melted. Izzy furrowed his brows and turned to Joe.
"You
didn't do anything?!" he raised his voice and waved the disk in front of
Joe's face. "What exactly did you do before the computer
short-circuited?!" Joe trembled.
"I
just tried to put the disk in. But it wouldn't go in! So I pushed it harder. It
still didn't want to go in. So I eventually crammed it in the drive and tried
loading a picture from it" Izzy looked at him quizzically. Why someone
would try to force a floppy into the drive was beyond him. Just then, the I.T.
instructor walked over.
"What's
all the hub-bub about?" he asked cheerfully. Joe froze. Izzy looked from
the teacher back to Joe. Joe slowly looked up.
"Well,
um, you see, Mr. Rolan, I, I kinda fried the computer," Joe said weakly.
"What?!"
Mr. Rolan was not so cheerful anymore. His nostrils flared and his face began
to redden. "What did you say?!"
"He
said he fried the computer." Izzy turned around and their was Tai stand
with his hands on his hips. Tai took one look at the computer and burst out
laughing.
"Yeah,
it sure looks fried all right! Man, Joe, you sure have a way with these
things!" He said.
"You're
not helping, Tai," muttered Izzy. Izzy was perplexed at what Joe had done,
but he didn't want him to get in trouble for it.
"Do
you know how much these computers cost, son?" Mr. Rolan asked Joe. Joe
meekly shook his head. "Well, they cost quite a bit! That will be
Detention for you, young man!" Joe cowered as the teacher loomed above
him. Mr. Rolan called out to the class.
"Okay,
everyone, I'm sorry, but I am going to have to shut down all of the computers,
until this is fixed." There was a moan and Mr. Rolan turned to Izzy.
"Izzy,
Do you think you could stay after school and try to fix this? I would but I
have a family get together tonight right after school." Izzy nodded and
Mr. Rolan finally went back to his desk. Tai slapped Joe on the back.
"Hey
Joe! Now you can have Detention with the rest of us! It'll be a party!" He
laughed and went to gather his books. The period ended in any minute.
"Yeah,
a real party," muttered Joe and he too started to gather his books. Izzy
sighed and walked back over to his own computer. It was still searching. He
picked up his textbook for his next class when there was a little beep from the
computer. Izzy glanced at the screen and dropped his textbook. He leaned over
the keyboard and squinted unbelieving at the monitor. On it, a small box said:
1 match found Izzy grabbed the mouse and was about to click on the application
when his screen went dark. He blinked at it for a moment then slowly picked up
his book. What would there be on the school computer about Digimon? He was
shaken from his thoughts when Tai grabbed his arm.
"Come on, Izzy! We'll be late for Science with Matt, Mimi, Mia, Jack and Sora!" Izzy nodded. Well, he would be staying after school to fix Joe's computer, maybe he could find the file then.
