"I'm telling you, man," Matt said to Tai. "She's the one."

"Who's THE ONE?" Tai hollered. "You've been rambling on and on for about ten minutes and you haven't said her name once!"

"Oh," Matt replied, blinking. "You know that cute red-head, Sora?"

"Sora?" Tai said, bewildered. "You like Sora Takenouchi?" Tai looked stunned for a minute before he burst out laughing.

"What is so funny?" Matt fumed.

"You actually think you have a chance with Sora?" Tai gasped, out of breath. "Okay, what were you planning to say?"

Matt shrugged. "I don't know," he replied. "Maybe I'll see if she's coming to my concert, then I'll ask her out for pizza or something after."

"Now that's romantic," Tai commented, sarcastically.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Matt snapped, annoyed.

"It means, that it's a stupid idea," Tai said, rolling his eyes. "Please, Matt. Ask her out for pizza? You'll be sitting there, trying to eat and then, all your fans come up and demand you sing to them. You should, like, walk her home."

Matt glared at him. What does Tai know about women? No wonder his girlfriend cheats on him, he thought wickedly.

"Whoa, I gotta run," Tai said, checking his watch. "Soccer practice, I'm late." He thumped Matt on the arm. "Catch you later, dude."

"Whatever," Matt replied thoughtfully. Maybe he would take Tai's advice after all.

"So, Sora," Mimi said, innocently. "I heard you had a little run-in with Matt Ishida."

"Talks-too-much Taylor, does it again," Sora muttered to herself.

"Well?" Mimi said, expectantly.

Sora sighed. "I kind of crashed into him in the hallway."

"Oh," Mimi said in disappointment. "I thought he asked you out or something."

"Even if he did," Sora told her. "I wouldn't say yes."

"WHAT?" Mimi shrieked. "Why?"

"Because," Sora said. "I don't want a boyfriend."

"Denial," Mimi said, looking at Sora as if she were a toddler.

"Honestly, Mimi," Sora said, sighing. "Is that all you think about? Boys, cheerleading and clothes?"

"Yes," Mimi replied without blinking. "I mean, no! Your happiness is my first concern Sora. You're my best friend," she said sincerely.

"That's sweet," Sora replied.

"And I think you'd be happy with Matt Ishida," Mimi continued.

Sora groaned is exasperation. "Mimi," she exclaimed.

"What?" Mimi asked.

Sora shook her head. This girl was hopeless.

* * * *

'In my world, before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Till that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all of my heart

Till my dying day'

* * * *

"Oh my god," Mimi squealed. "This is my dying day."

"He's so cute," Amy squealed.

Sora rolled her eyes.

The three girls were at the Java Cafe where the Teenage Wolves were having their concert.

Around them were about three million girls. Well, that's what it seemed like to Sora.

"Sora," Mimi shouted, above the noise. "You are like, the only girl here who's still sitting down."

"So what?" she shouted back.

Mimi gave her a look. "Honestly Sora," she complained.

"Honestly Sora," Sora mimicked under her breath.

"Heard that," Mimi said.

"Come on, girls," Amy said. "Let's have fun!"

Mimi nodded then averted her attention to the boys.

Sora glanced at her watch. What was the point of being here, anyway? She could barely hear herself think, let alone hear the music.

She sighed and settled in her seat. This was going to be a long night.

* * * *

"Thank you all for coming," Matt yelled.

A scream came up from the girls in the cafe.

Matt grinned. "Okay, if you'll all line up, we'll be signing autographs in a second."

There was scurry of movement. Girls being pushed and shoved.

Matt rolled his eyes. There was no way that this crowd would get in order.

He was arguing with the drummer about the crowd when he saw her. Sora- the love of his life.

"Just a sec, man," Matt said hurridley, before running after her.

The crowd barely noticed him leave.

* * * *

"Sora, hey Sora!"

Sora turned around when she heard a voice from behind her. Amy and Mimi had decided to get their CD's signed.

Sora had complained that she had a headache and wanted to go home.

"Hi," Matt said, skidding to a stop in front of her.

"Hi," Sora said, smiling uncertainly. "Um... Matt, right?"

"Yeah," he said, running a hand through his hair. "Listen, where are you heading?"

"Home," Sora replied. "I have a major migraine."

"Oh," Matt said. "Well, can I..." he stopped hesitantly. "Can I walk you home?"

"Well," Sora said. "Sure, but, aren't you supposed to be signing your CD's?"

"That can wait," Matt said, brushing it off. I have my whole life to sign CD's, he thought. And I only have one chance with Sora.
