"What was that all about?" Matt asked. They were still walking around the big park. They hadn't spoken since that incident with Tai.
Sora found a shaded place under a big tree. She sat down and leaned against the trunk of the tree. Matt sat beside her and did the same.
"I'm so confused, Matt," Sora sounded desperate. This surprised Matt. He never heard Sora sound like that. For a girl, she was pretty tough.

Sora hardly got a peep out of Matt ever since they entered the park. Girls kept swarming him, asking for his autograph because Matt was a singer in a band that had become fairly famous in Tokyo. Sora was going to tell Matt what happened. Preferably, she would have talked to another girl about it, but all her friends were "too busy." Ironically, Matt was the only person who wasn't busy (considering he's in a band) and Sora really needed to talk to some one. Matt said it was all right since the band was on a break.

"So, then, tell me about it," Matt said.
And Sora did.
She spilled her guts out. Sora even told Matt about her liking Tai. She was too embarrassed to admit it to anyone. She also told him about Tai walking in on her in the bathroom.
Matt laughed. "I could just imagine Tai dodging those objects."
When Sora was done, she gave a deep, heavy sigh. "I'm really glad I got to talk this over with someone," Sora said.
"Hey, you can tell me anything," Matt assured her. "Especially if it has to do with Tai." Matt grinned.
"So, what do you think I should do?" Sora asked.
"You know, I have to admit, you and Tai always seem to get along fine. I think you should give Tai another chance. Actually, I think he really likes you. Did you see him when he realized that I was with you?" Matt laughed to himself.
"Duh, I was there too," Sora rolled her eyes. Then Sora started laughing. "But it was pretty funny how Tai turned all red."
Matt and Sora talked for almost an hour under the tree. The whole time, they did not realize that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.
