Tai

"Hey, Matt," I called, running up to my friend. For once, he wasn't surrounded by girls. The guy is so lucky. But the only reason he had fans was because he was a 'singer'. I mean, it couldn't be his looks. I was way better looking then he was.

"Tai," Matt replied, turning around. "What's up?"

I studied his face carefully. When Matt is about to say something serious, he has this nervous look in his eyes and he speaks really fast.

When did I even start noticing these things? I wondered. I was always the 'blunt' one in the group.

"Oh, nothing," I said. "What's up with you?"

"Tai, you know I like Sora, right?" he blurted out. His face turned red.

It took a minute for my brain to register this. Matt... Sora... together. It was too funny. I burst out laughing. I couldn't help it.

"Oh, that's funny," I choked out in between, sniggers. "Really- what were you going to say?"

Matt gave me an annoyed glace. "It's not that funny," he said coolly. "At least I have a love life."

That set me off again. The words 'Matt Ishida' and 'love life' did not compute.

"Stop laughing, dammit!" Matt yelled. He glared at me.

"Sorry," I said, stepping back. I knew that look. It was the one he used to give me when he thought I was being totally immature.

"What do I do?" he moaned.

"Why are you asking me?" I said sarcastically. I was still pissed off at what he'd said. "I'm not the one with a love life."

Matt ignored me. "I'm meeting her later at the Palace. Was that a good idea? I mean, what if Jun's there?"

"Davis' sister?" I asked. I pictured a scene in my head. Matt and Sora having a good time and then Jun pops up and bothers them until the Apocalypse. The thought made me grin.

"Yeah, Davis's sister," Matt said, rolling his eyes. "So?" he prodded.

"So..." I stopped, thinking. Yes, I was thinking. Sheesh. Can't you people just believe I have a brain? "I know! Sit at the back."

"Sit at the back," Matt repeated. "Really intelligent. It'll change the world," he added sarcastically.

I crossed my eyes at him.

"Really mature, Tai," Matt said, running a hand through his over-gelled hair. "This is the last time I take your advice."

I watched him stalk down the hall. I rolled my eyes. The guy could be so thick sometimes.
