"Aren't you taking this a bit far, Sora?" Mimi asked. She was getting
sick of her two friends giving each other the silent treatment. Mimi didn't know
who was the dumber fool-- Tai or Sora! All she knew was that she had to get them
to talk; their friendship meant the world to them.
"No I'm not doing anything," Sora sighed as she swirled mash potatoes
on her Styrofoam plate with her fork, "I don't think we'll ever speak after
what happened."
"Nothing happened, Sora. You had a little squabble with Tai! Do you
honestly believe that protecting your wounded pride is more important than years
of friendship??"
Silence. Sora knew that Mimi was right; it would be rather ludicrous to ruin
what she and Tai had.
"You are absolutely right, Mimi! I have to apologize. I was wrong to deny
my feelings for Tai,"
Mimi smirked, "Of course, I'm always right! Princess Mimi knows all!"
Sora shot her friend a look and started laughing. Her laughter died down when
she saw Tai and Matt making their way to a table in the other corner of the cafeteria. She gave him a faint smile; he smiled
back, obvious pain in his expression. I just have to talk to him, Sora
thought, I have to make things alright again.
Tai just sat there, oblivious to Matt's presence and the fact that there was a
fly on his meatloaf.
"It's Sora again, isn't it?" Matt already knew what was going on,
"Look, dude. I told you, there's nothing going on between us, alright? I
dunno what Sora told you, man! Don't tell me you're still pissed!"
Tai snapped his head back, as if coming out of a trance, "Naww. I'm not mad
at you. It's cool, I totally understand."
"So what's the deal with you then? Daydreaming about Sora again?"
"Yeah. I really miss her. I really do. I miss the way her hair smelled... the way she smiled... the way she always creamed me in
soccer--"
"WHOA!" Matt interrupted, he could not let his friend go on like this,
"Get a grip! You need to stop daydreaming and get on with your life!"
" Too bad she never wants to see my face again..."
"Are you even listening to me, Tai?" Matt was getting pretty annoyed,
"If you want this to work with Sora then you have to talk to her
first,"
"But I can't... She doesn't want to speak to me,"
"Well you're definitely not solving anything by moaning and griping,"
Tai couldn't be in this state of denial; he knew that Matt was right. He had to
talk to Sora before time worsened the situation.
