Girl of my Dreams
Chapter 2
AN: Okay, I feel really stupid about this. After rereading "Love" I realized that I said Yamato and T.K are brothers and in "Girl of my Dreams", I said they're friends. Now I've been thinking and I decided that Matt's little brother is named Michael instead of T.K
I don't think he'll be making an appearance in the sequel so maybe it doesn't matter, but you never know. I might decide to squeeze him in there somewhere. Oh, and they do live near the beach, which I forgot to mention in "Love".
And finally, as I've said, I don't any idea as to how many subjects or periods there are in high school. Please excuse any mistakes I make concerning their school.
One last thing, thank you for those of you who read the first chapter. This is for you guys! Thank you and I hope you keep reading this.
Okay, I've talked long enough. I'm so sorry for all the mistakes I've made. Enjoy!

She turned away. Disappointed, I bent over and helped her pick up her stuff that flew all over the place during our collision. We've managed to collect all her belongings, and I was on my way back to the locker room when she called after me.
Turning around to face her, I answered, " Yeah?"
She cleared her throat. " Do you know where room 112 is?" she asked hesitantly. " I'm new here and I have no idea where it is."
" Oh, just go all the way down this hallway and turn left. It's the third room to your right, next to the Art Class." I directed. (AN: I hope this direction makes sense.)
" Thank you," the girl replied.
My breath caught in my throat as I watched her turned away from me with her mahogany hair bounced on her shoulder as she walked hurriedly down the hall. It's like watching her in slow motion. And, though it sounds corny and impossible, I felt my heart pound at my chest a hundred times each second. I have no idea how long I've been standing there after she left, but I was dragged back to reality when a very familiar voice interrupted my thoughts.
" Hey man, what's up? Mr. Chiba's looking for you," Tai informed. He's standing by the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest.
I sighed. " I forgot something in my locker." And with that, I walked back towards the locker room.
" Oh! Mr. Chiba said don't go to 101 for tardy slip. He wants you to report to the gym."
" 'Kay!" I answered without turning around.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We had free time during gym. Mr. Chiba isn't so bad after all. I think Tai actually liked him. He's very good at basketball and he gave Tai and I a few pointers. I'll glance at Sora once in while just to see her making goo-goo (spelling?) eyes at our instructor. I guess Tai was too caught up with the game that he never noticed, and I was kind of glad that he didn't. If he did, there's going to be a fight for sure. Tai just get jealous way too easily.
The bell rang throughout the entire school. Dressed in my school uniform again, Tai and I made our way to room 114 for Biology.
As we approached our destination, I caught a glimpse of a familiar blue eyes. The blue eyed girl took a right turn before I could even study her. I sighed in frustration. That's the second time this day. I'm not even sure if it is the same girl, but somehow, I knew.
The rest of the day went by in a blur. At least for me. I hardly heard two sentences of the lesson. My mind kept flying off to the girl I had met earlier. I just can't seem to take my mind off of her. It's not exactly her eyes or even her hair. It's her face that caught me. She looked so familiar yet I don't even know who she is.
' If she only have brown eyes, she'll look just like…'
I let my thought trailed off. ' No, not possible.' I shook my head slightly and tried to focused on the lesson.
Again, I found myself thinking about the girl. She just won't leave my mind! She's just as mysterious as my Mimi.
Mimi.
The name still make my heart stop. Even now, three and a half months later, I can still recall that night like it was just yesterday.
~FLASHBACK~
" Do you believe in destiny?" I asked suddenly. I don't know why I asked such question, but it just seemed to flow out my mouth.
" Yes," she said simply. " Do you?"
" I don't know," I shrugged.
" Do you believe in soul mates?" Now was her time to ask.
" I guess," I answered. I just can't seem to give any straight answer. Silence once again enveloped us.
I moved closer to Mimi. She turned to look at me, and I saw her smile in the dark. I just look back at her beautiful brown eyes.
" Do you believe in love at first sight?"
" I-I don't know. You?"
I didn't answer her for a long time.
" I do now," I finally said. I leaned forward and captured her soft lips in mine. We stayed like that for only a few moments, much to my dismay.
She finally opened her eyes slowly and stared at me. " I must go," she breathed. And before I could protest, she grabbed the lantern and started running toward the direction she came from.
~END FLASHBACK~
I felt like crying right then and there. My eyes sting as I pushed back the tears that threaten to fall. I was glad I sat in the back so they won't see my sudden change of emotion. I just couldn't help it. Two months after my vacation in the Bahamas, that I spent most of my time either in my room or walking down the beach, praying to all the gods that one of these days I'll walk down that beach and find her there. Waiting for me.
Sadly, that day never came. Everyday I go home disappointed. But I never lost hope. I just knew that we'll meet again.
But then as the month progressed, that thin rope of hope I hold on to had gave out. I had accepted the truth. She and I were never meant to be. She's gone. My angel had walked away from me forever that night. And the biggest mistake I've made is falling for her.
And now here's a Mimi look alike who had somehow managed to dig up this buried memory in just one encounter. I cursed at the blue eyed girl for doing this. Great! She had just managed to add more pain in my heart.
The bell finally rang. Sniffling a little, I quickly wiped the few tears that spilled during my private breakdown, before Tai could see it. I'm not about to let Taichi Kamiya see me crying. Not me. The supposedly ' life' of the gang.
" So, ready to go?" Tai asked as he approached me.
" Ahem. Yeah, let's go," I answered.
Takeru and the girls met up with Tai and I at my locker. And just like what happened during lunch, girls looked lovingly at us three while some glared at Sora and Kari. Perhaps it has always been like this since last year. Maybe I just never realized or don't bother to notice at all.
Tai kept receiving a jab in the stomach from Sora who glared furiously as he bid flirting girls a farewell. These girls surely won't have the slightest chance of getting Tai. Not without a catfight from Sora.
A small group of people caught our attention as we exited the building. So, being as nosy as I am, the five of us walked toward the crowd. As we come closer to the scene, I saw a burly, brunette guy, crushing a feminine hand in his grasp. I recognize the girl instantly. The blue eyed angel! I mean, girl!
" So what do you want me to do to her Jun? Kill her?"
" Now, now Kinomoto (AN: This is the guy's last name.), that's not a very nice welcome now is it? Besides, I just want to teach her a lesson for laying a finger on my guy," I heard Jun, the leader of the most feared group in Bay View, said dangerously.
The girl's face was as white as chalk. She looked more confused than scared.
" Oh man, the babe!" I heard Tai whispered. I was now in front of Tai and Sora to get a better view.
" What babe?!" fumed Sora.
" Huh?" Taichi asked innocently. " Did I say babe? No, I said she's that girl in Trig."
" Shouldn't we help her?" Kari queried.
The gang is evidently unaware of our presence for Jun still loomed over the girl's shrinking form.
' That's it!' I thought angrily as I strolled toward them.
" Hey! Might be a smart thing to keep your hands to yourself if you don't want suspension on the first day."
" Oh, is that right? Ishida, the great knight here to save a damsel in distress," sneered Kinomoto.
" Kinomoto! What are you doing?!" Jun suddenly gasped. " Put her down?! You're hurting her!"
I rolled my eyes. Who does she think she's kidding? Did she really expect us to believe this crap?
Kinomoto reluctantly let go of the girl and pushed her towards the ground. Jun walked up to me and put her arms around me!
" Oh Yamato! I'm so glad you came! I was hanging around with this girl and Kinomoto suddenly came and-"
" Give it a rest Motomiya. I'm not that dense," I replied coldly. I pushed her away from me and glared at them. Somehow, they took the silence as their cue to leave.
When they were out of sight, I hurriedly strolled over to the girl. I don't know why I'm acting like this. I should hating her for reminding me of Mimi!
" You okay?" I inquired.
" Y-yeah, I am. Thank you."
The eyes again! Why does she do that?!
I bent down and picked up her backpack and handed it to her. " Thank you," she repeated.
We stood there for a moment. I had forgotten about my friends who stood silently in the background. The girl kept her eyes on the ground.
" Yamato Ishida." I held out my hand for her. She took it gently and a tingling feeling ran through me, along with the same feeling of recognition.
" You can call me Matt."
I saw her jaw dropped slightly as she stared up at me.
" M-att?" she croaked.
To be Continued…

AN: To all Jun fans out there, I'm so sorry for doing that to her. But as a Mimato fan, I just don't like her.
BYE AND GOD BLESS EVERYBODY!
