A/N: Mimi never moved.
A Changed Destiny
Kari Kamiya kept her head down as she entered her new school. The horde of students crowed around her, pushing her and ignoring her struggles to get through the hall to her locker. Finally she made it and waited patiently as the boy who was leaning against it left.
"Hey, look. A new girl," a voice said from behind. "Hey girlie. What's your name?"
Kari glanced over her shoulder and saw a tall, muscular boy with brown hair in a football jacket standing behind her. He looked like he was a junior or senior. His friends crowded behind him, smirking. Kari turned around the rest of the way, but didn't bring her eyes to meet his. "Kari Kamiya," she replied.
"Well Kari, how would you like help picking up your books?" He asked.
"My books? But-" She started.
Before she could finish the boy knocked her books from her hands. His friends laughed as Kari blushed. She slowly kneeled down to pick up her books, but a hand pulled her back up. He was so close she could feel his breath on her cheek. "Your so cute when you blush. How about you and me go out?"
Before Kari could respond another voice came from behind. "Josh, what are you doing?"
The boy, Josh, before her let her go and glanced over Kari's shoulder. He smiled. "Hey, Ishida, what's up?" A handsome boy with blond hair came up and shook Josh's hand. A girl with orange hair, a boy with dark red hair, and another with long blue hair came up behind him. "I'm not doing anything. Just welcoming the new kid."
"Well, why don't you leave her alone?" The blond boy asked.
Josh laughed. "Sure thing, man. I'll leave her in your care." The blond boy nodded in response, and Josh and his followers walked away.
The only girl of the group walked up to Kari. "Are you okay?" She asked. Kari nodded.
The boy with long blue hair kneeled down and picked up her books. "Here you go," he said as he handed them to her.
Kari blushed a deeper crimson and took them from him, whispering a small thank you as she did. "Let me guess, your new here," the blond boy stated. Kari nodded. "And you're a freshman, right?" Kari nodded again. "Don't be so shy," the blond boy laughed. "My name's Matt. This is my girlfriend, Sora." He pointed to the girl with orange hair and she smiled at Kari. "That Izzy, he's an expert on computers," he said pointing to the red headed boy. "And this is Joe," he said pointing to the blue haired boy who had picked up Kari's books.
"My name's Kari," Kari replied.
"Are you having a easy time finding your class?" Izzy asked.
"Yes…. Er… no," Kari stammered. "No, I don't know where T-14 is."
"T-14? Oh, I can take you there. My next class is right next door," Sora smiled. "Come on." Sora started to turn away, but Matt grabbed her hand and pulled her back into a giant hug.
"Not so fast," he laughed.
"Come on, Matt," Izzy said, a little annoyed.
"Fine, fine." Matt kissed Sora on the cheek before letting her go.
"Bye," she waved to him and Joe and Izzy before leading Kari to class. "So what classes do you have, Kari?"
"Um, English, algebra, French, history, newspaper-" She said.
"You're the girl whose supposed to be the new photographer, aren't you?" Sora asked, cutting her off. Kari nodded. "That's great! We need one. I'm one the staff too." Sora stopped. "Here's your class." She pointed over to a doorway in front of them. "I'll meet you here after class and you can come have lunch with my friends and me."
"Well, I was going to have lunch with my brother," Kari replied. "Thank you anyway."
"No problem. Good luck, hope the rest of your day goes better then the beginning," Sora gave her one last smile before turning to the class beside the one Kari had to go in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kari glanced around the packed lunchroom, looking for her brother. She saw him, well actually his hair, way in the very back. As she got closer she saw he had his head down. "Hey Tai, what's wrong?" She asked as she set her lunch tray down.
Her brother looked up at her and gave her one of his warm smiles. "Nothing, just thinking. I was-"
"Hey, Taichi!" A voice called. Tai and Kari looked up. Kari saw Josh, the same football player who had harassed Kari before waving to her brother. "Come on!"
"OKAY!" Tai quickly stood up.
"Tai," Kari cried, helplessly.
"Oh, um…sorry Kari," he gave her a sympathetic look before rushing over to the table where Josh sat.
Kari felt like she was on the verge of tears as she watched the only person she knew leave. She looked down, keeping her watery eyes away from passers by. "Hey, what's up?"
Kari looked up and saw Sora standing above her holding a soda in her hand. "N-nothing," she replied.
"Why are you alone?" She asked.
"Um… I was…um…" Kari mumbled.
"Come on, come have lunch with my friends," Sora said before Kari could reply. Kari smiled and nodded. She picked up her tray and started to follow Sora out of the lunchroom and to the patio. Sora walked over to a table that was located in the sun with Kari close behind. Five people sat at the table. The three boys Kari had met earlier plus a tall girl with pink hair and another boy with ruffled blond hair and deep blue eyes much like Matt's.
Sora sat down next to Matt and Kari sat down beside her. "Hey, Kari," Matt said, smiling at her.
"Hi," Kari replied after Joe and Izzy had said their hellos.
"This is Mimi," Sora said as she pointed over at the girl with pink hair. "And this cutie here," she said pointing over at the young blond boy who was blushing slightly. "This is TK, Matt's little brother." Kari looked over at the blond boy and felt immediately connected to him. "Mimi, TK, this is Kari. She's new here. She's a freshman just like you, TK."
"What grade are the rest of you?" Kari asked quietly.
"Sora and I are juniors," Matt replied.
"I'm a senior," Joe replied.
"Mimi and I are sophomores," Izzy spoke up over his pizza.
Kari took a sip of her soda and her eyes found they're way up to TK. He was staring at her and for just a second they're eyes met. Kari immediately pulled her eyes from his and looked down at her tray embarrassed.
Kari stayed quiet through most of the lunch, only speaking when someone spoke to her and every so often plastering a smile on her face.
The lunch bell rang and everyone stood up. TK moved to Kari's side and when she glanced up at him he flashed her a warm smile. "Hi. This is going to sound nuts, but have we met before? I just feel like we've met."
"No, it doesn't sound nuts. I actually got the same feeling. I don't think so. Maybe. I'm from Odiaba," Kari replied referring to the city they were now living in. "I just came back."
"Well, I'm not really from here so it doesn't matter," TK shrugged. "Um… we were all going to meet after school. Play a little basketball and then head down to the mall. Do you want to come?"
"Um, yeah. I'd love to," Kari smiled.
TK smiled and a slight blush colored his cheeks. "Great! Just meet me here after school and I'll show you where the courts are." Kari nodded. "Um, I gotta go. My class is this way." He ran off to join Matt and Kari hurried in Sora's direction.
"Well, I see you and TK have hit it off. He likes you," Sora whispered to Kari.
"You think so?" Kari asked trying to keep the excitement in her voice low.
"Yeah, definitely," Sora nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TK jogged up beside Matt and forced himself to keep up with his brother's pace. "I see that you've gotten yourself a date," Matt smiled at his little brother.
"Its not a date. I just thought she'd like to come," TK replied forcefully.
"Then why are you blushing and smiling like a dope?"
"Its just, I felt this weird connection to her and I want to find out more about her," TK replied.
"Whatever! You like her!" Matt laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kari waited patiently outside the doors of the main building of the school. "Kari!" She turned at the sound of her name and saw TK running toward her. He was so cute, she thought. "Sorry it took me so long. I had to run to my locker."
"Its okay. I wasn't waiting long," Kari replied.
"Well, come on. The courts are this way," TK pointed across the schoolyard. They set out across the grass and soon they came to the green basketball courts where they saw Matt bouncing an orange ball. "Pass it here, Matt," TK called to his brother. Matt passed him the ball and TK ran up to the basket and made a lay-up.
"Show off!" Sora called from where she sat on the sidelines with Mimi, Izzy, and Joe. Joe and Izzy stood up to join Matt and TK in their game and Kari went over to sit with Sora and Mimi. Mimi was lying back on the concrete sunbathing while Sora watched her boyfriend, cheering every so often.
Half an hour passed and the boys were deep in their game. Sora and Kari cheered for the two teams. Matt and Izzy one on side and Joe and TK on the other. The score was 43 to 39, Matt and Izzy winning.
"KARI!!!" Kari looked up at the sound of her name and saw her brother stomping onto the courts. She jumped up and ran over to him, hoping he wasn't angry. Unfortunately he was. He grabbed her arm roughly and yelled, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you for an hour!"
"Tai, I-" Kari felt her face grow warm in embarrassment as she waited for her brother to scolded her.
"Do you have a problem?" A voice said. Both Kari and Tai looked up and saw that Matt, Izzy, TK, and Joe had stopped their game. They all looked like they were ready to fight Tai off. Then Matt's face turned from stern to a face of disgusted surprise. "Tai?"
"Matt," Tai replied.
Matt slowly approached Tai. When they were at arms length away Matt suddenly lashed out and punched Tai in the face.
