Sora dropped the phone and almost went into shock. Izzy? On the phone? For her? After all this time? Her mind was filled with questions, and she wanted to ask them all at once, but she knew she couldn't. She tried to regain control. "Sora? Are you still there? Are you guys mad at me?" She didn't know what to say. She picked it up. "Hi."
"I thought you hung up on me."
"Oh, sorry about that."
"Look, Sora, before you go screaming at me, I want to say-"
"Why would I blow up at you? I'm not the one you left standing in the rain, hoping this was all just some bad dream, then realizing it's not and going berserk since you left." She hadn't meant for it to come out so harshly.
"Is that what she thinks?"
"I'm sorry, Izzy. I didn't mean to... Well... I don't know. She hasn't exactly talked to anybody since you left."
"I didn't want to hurt her, honest. Tai just made me so mad. I can't stand him." Sora chuckled. "I hear you." She looked around the room, and her eyes fell on her computer. "Oh my gosh! I gotta go!"
"What? What'd I do? Was it something I said?"
"No, but I told Akira that I'd come over today, and she's probably wondering where I am! Sorry to run like this, but she needs me, since you're gone." There was silence at the other end.
"Izzy?"
"Huh? Oh, right. Maybe I'll call you later." He hung up.
Sora decided not to tell her friend about the call. She might take it wrong. Izzy just needed some answers. I can understand why. He must really be torn up about all of this. So she kept on walking. She could've taken her car, but she needed more time to think. What was she going to say? How would Akira react? It was all too much. Sora didn't think she could handle this alone. So on her way, she called Kari.
