Meeting of Friends & Enemies
"You know Matt, you really should have that eye looked at." Said Jack as they walked up towards the changing rooms.
"Nah, it'll be fine" Matt replied.
Izzy was the first to enter the changing rooms; it was dark inside as it had no windows, and all but one of the lights had blown.
"Wow, I hadn't realised what a dump this place was before." Said Tai as he entered behind Izzy.
"It looks the same to me." Replied Matt, still clutching his eye and pretending it didn't hurt.
"With that eye I'm surprised you can see at all." Said Jack, the last one to enter the changing rooms. Tai and Matt burst out laughing, while it seemed Izzy was contemplating advanced theories of relativity. Just then a cubical door was kicked open, it was Will.
"I'm gonna get you back for getting me a detention!" He said, kicking bags and clothes out of his path.
"Come on Matt, we can take him!" shouted Tai, putting his bag down and his fists up. Will made a charge, Matt and Tai stood ready, but then, from nowhere a foot flew under Will's path making him trip and bang his head on the benches, it was Jacks.
"Errr," Will groaned "I'm gonna get you for that." He made an attempt to get to his feet but he slipped on the muddy floor and banged his head once again.
"Come on you guys," called Izzy from the doorway. "Lets get moving!" They all ran to the door and turned it in one fluid movement, except for Matt who banged his shoulder on the door due to his double vision.
"I can't believe she gave me a Detention!" shouted Mimi crossly, "That's so unfair!" Mimi was almost in tears now, knowing how upset and angry her father would be if he found out.
"Calm down Mimi, it can't be that bad, can it?" asked Mia.
"You don't" she stopped to sniff and wipe away a tear "Know my daddy." On saying daddy she burst out into tears. Although Mia and Sora tried as hard as they could to calm her, it still took around 10 minutes. They eventually convinced Mimi to go the office, although they don't know why they sent Mimi there, what could they do? On arriving at the small lone classroom, they called "The English Hut" and opening the door they were greeted by a cold stare from the teacher
"And where have you been?" He said. Sora struggled to think of an answer, and came back with
"Err sorry sir." This made the teacher look even madder.
"Do you think an apology is enough? You two have Detention, now take a seat." Mia and Sora sat down next to Joe on the second to back row. Behind them sat Matt, Jack, Tai and Izzy.
"Unlucky," whispered Tai to Sora "But don't worry, I got detentions as well so we'll see you there." Jack turned and looked at Tai funnily.
"Wow, what a lucky girl! I wish I had a detention with Tai 'sigh'." Jack said to Matt a little louder then he had intended. Matt laughed, in fact, so did Tai and the rest of the class.
"Do you have something you want to say Jack?" Mr. Sprose asked.
"No sir, I was just saying to Matt that this is such a great lesson" Jack replied.
"Really? Then you won't mind spending a detention with me at the end of the day." Mr Sprose finished. Jack looked at the floor, then came back another answer.
"That's okay, too much of a good thing can ruin it." Jack said smiling. Mr Sprose looked puzzled, in his whole career nobody had ever spoken back to him like that. Then he smiled.
"Alright then, you can have a detention with somebody else." Mr Sprose laughed. Jack instantly replied.
"Yay, now I get to spend Detention with Tai!" Everybody laughed, except Mr Sprose, who simply replied with:
"Anymore calling out and you will have a detention for the rest of your life. Now be quiet!" The rest of the lesson went quickly after that, Jack didn't make anymore jokes, in fact he hardly spoke at all. The bell rang, or rattled, it sounded more like a rattle but the teachers insisted on saying it rang. They were all dismissed, and went off to enjoy their break.
"So you've all got detentions?!" asked Joe, although it sounded more like he accused them.
"Well, no. I haven't got one yet." Said Izzy.
"But the rest have!" said Joe in his accusing voice. "How could you all get detentions!? It's not possible!" Matt stopped his conversation with Jack and turned to face Joe.
"You forget Joe, we're the Digi-destined, we can do anything." Everybody gave Matt a cold stare, except Mia and Jack
"What are the Digi-destined?" Jack asked. Everybody looked confused; you could tell they were trying to think of an answer.
"Err Well its..." Joe said desperately thinking for an answer.
"It was some team we entered, in a soccer competition." Tai interrupted. Then Matt continued as best he could.
"We didn't do very well, as you saw earlier, Izzy wasn't the best goal keeper around." Jack and Mia laughed while the others sighed with relief then started staring at Matt again. The bell rang again, so they split up again, Matt and Jack went to Maths, Izzy, Tai and Joe went to I.T, and the girls went off to social studies.
On the way to Maths, Jack turned and asked Matt.
"Okay, I'm the best liar I know. So I could tell that you lot were lying about the Digi-destined thing. What really is it?" Matt turned pale, should he really tell his new friend about his adventures in the Digi-World? Would Jack think he's crazy? "No, I must tell him," Matt thought, "He's my best friend since Gabumon." So Matt told Jack everything, how they had defeated Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, then the Dark Masters and finally Apocolymon. And then even more about the evil Digimon Emperor and all the other stuff and how thanks to them the world is safe once again. Jack gave Matt and funny look, then said,
"Wow, I was wrong. You're the best liar I know. You could write a book, maybe make a T.V show." Jack said trying to hold back the laughter.
Matt sighed; he knew Jack wouldn't believe him. But for some reason he wanted him to. They walked into Maths and sat down. Matt wasn't any good at Maths, but Jack told him some of the answers and, most importantly, didn't get caught. Jacks face turned pale, Matt wondered what was wrong, and then noticed it for himself. Will was sitting in the front row staring at them.
"I have an idea." Said Jack, finally breaking the silence.
"Feel free to let me know." Whispered Matt.
"Well, its simple. We just Digi-volve and step on him." Jack laughed and continued. "No, seriously, we just get him sent out." He finished. Matt thought that this was a dump plan.
"How are we gonna do that?" Matt asked. Jack expected this question.
"I walk over to him, then throw a pencil at you. You then say it hit you in the eye, and say he did it. He then gets sent out." Jack whispered. Matt still thought this was stupid but he didn't want to argue..
"Okay, lets do it." Matt replied. Jack stood up and walked over towards Will. "RRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG" The bell went. It was lunch. Will got up and walked over towards Jack.
"What do you want?!" Will shouted as he pushed all the kids trying to get into lunch out of his way. Jack was lost for words.
"I was just wondering If" Jack said calmly. "If…" He turned and pushed Will backwards. He tripped over a chair and fell over.
"Come on Matt!" Jack shouted as he grabbed Matt's arm. They ran out of the classroom and continued down the Hall.
Izzy loved I. T, that and Math were his two best subjects. He walked in with Tai and Joe and took a seat. The teacher started explaining how to do a certain program on the computer. Izzy took out his laptop and started typing away, trying to create a program of his own. He didn't need to pay attention, he already knew just as much as the teacher, probably more. So as class slowly went along they were moved to the computers and started working. Izzy finished the program so quickly he had still a half an hour of class left. So he started searching around in the school computer's files. He explored for awhile and found nothing interesting. Getting an idea that even he thought was stupid, he brought up the "Search" menu and typed in "Digimon". It started to search. Izzy knew it would take a long time for the computer to read all of the files, so he leaned back in his chair and looked around the room. Then there was a snapping and sizzling, followed by a scream.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Izzy jumped out of his chair. Joe was sitting at the computer across from him, moaning and staring at his computer. Izzy walked around the desk and looked at Joe's computer. The screen was black.
"What did you do?" asked Izzy, staring at the blank screen. Joe shook his head, eyes bulging.
"I swear! I didn't do it! I didn't touch anything!" he yelled desperately. Izzy cocked his head.
"And that's why the computer brake down?" he asked sceptically.
"I don't know why it happened! It just did." Joe slumped down in his seat. Izzy started to examine the computer, muttering to himself.
"Maybe the monitor went haywire, or I suppose the display card could have quit on you. Though, I'm not sure why. Maybe it was too old. Or it could have been over worked, or…" He went on like that as he ran his fingers along the monitor. He got to the disk drive and scowled. A small amount of smoke came from the drive. Izzy pushed the "eject" button carefully and out popped and floppy. Izzy picked it up and peered at it. It was black and the medal piece at the end was shrivelled and half-melted. Izzy furrowed his brows and turned to Joe.
"You didn't do anything?!" he raised his voice and waved the disk in front of Joe's face. "What exactly did you do before the computer short-circuited?!" Joe trembled.
"I just tried to put the disk in. But it wouldn't go in! So I pushed it harder. It still didn't want to go in. So I eventually crammed it in the drive and tried loading a picture from it" Izzy looked at him quizzically. Why someone would try to force a floppy into the drive was beyond him. Just then, the I.T. instructor walked over.
"What's all the hub-bub about?" he asked cheerfully. Joe froze. Izzy looked from the teacher back to Joe. Joe slowly looked up.
"Well, um, you see, Mr. Rolan, I, I kinda fried the computer," Joe said weakly.
"What?!" Mr. Rolan was not so cheerful anymore. His nostrils flared and his face began to redden. "What did you say?!"
"He said he fried the computer." Izzy turned around and their was Tai stand with his hands on his hips. Tai took one look at the computer and burst out laughing.
"Yeah, it sure looks fried all right! Man, Joe, you sure have a way with these things!" He said.
"You're not helping, Tai," muttered Izzy. Izzy was perplexed at what Joe had done, but he didn't want him to get in trouble for it.
"Do you know how much these computers cost, son?" Mr. Rolan asked Joe. Joe meekly shook his head. "Well, they cost quite a bit! That will be Detention for you, young man!" Joe cowered as the teacher loomed above him. Mr. Rolan called out to the class.
"Okay, everyone, I'm sorry, but I am going to have to shut down all of the computers, until this is fixed." There was a moan and Mr. Rolan turned to Izzy.
"Izzy, Do you think you could stay after school and try to fix this? I would but I have a family get together tonight right after school." Izzy nodded and Mr. Rolan finally went back to his desk. Tai slapped Joe on the back.
"Hey Joe! Now you can have Detention with the rest of us! It'll be a party!" He laughed and went to gather his books. The period ended in any minute.
"Yeah, a real party," muttered Joe and he too started to gather his books. Izzy sighed and walked back over to his own computer. It was still searching. He picked up his textbook for his next class when there was a little beep from the computer. Izzy glanced at the screen and dropped his textbook. He leaned over the keyboard and squinted unbelieving at the monitor. On it, a small box said: 1 match found Izzy grabbed the mouse and was about to click on the application when his screen went dark. He blinked at it for a moment then slowly picked up his book. What would there be on the school computer about Digimon? He was shaken from his thoughts when Tai grabbed his arm.
"Come on, Izzy! We'll be late for Science with Matt, Mimi, Mia, Jack and Sora!" Izzy nodded. Well, he would be staying after school to fix Joe's computer, maybe he could find the file then.
"You know Matt, you really should have that eye looked at." Said Jack as they walked up towards the changing rooms.
"Nah, it'll be fine" Matt replied.
Izzy was the first to enter the changing rooms; it was dark inside as it had no windows, and all but one of the lights had blown.
