I think I did it again

Chapter two

" And then I was like, no way Taylor. But he was like yeah totally and. . ."

Sora sighed as she slowly wandered along the pavement not listening to a single word her brainless friends were jabbering away. Oh great another afternoon spent at the mall wallowing in complete boredom. She was walking as slow as possible, hopefully if the others carried up their pace they would leave her behind and she'd be able to escape. No such luck, no matter how slow she walked they waited for her to catch up. Why couldn't she just fade into the background with everyone else? What was it that made her stand out so much? What she wouldn't give for something to come and rescue her from these ditzy sheep.

" Oww! Will you watch where you're going Jerk!" Holly suddenly yelled as someone collided with her on the corner of the street.

" Sorry I didn't see you there," A calm voice tried to explain,

" Well you should of! This isn't your sidewalk you know!"

" Tai!" Sora cried happily,

The spiky brown haired boy drew away his murderous glare from the blonde haired girl to Sora. His face immediately lit up.

" Oh Hey Sora!" He pushed past Holly, Lisa, Debbie and Courtney to speak to her.

" So how you doing?" She asked him,

" Alright, what are you up to?"

" Oh we're just going to the mall," She gave him a desperate look and mentally sent a message of help,

" And if you carry on talking all day we're never going to get there," Debbie snapped, Sora hated her most of all, she was such a bitch. Sora had put up with her for way to long, just because she didn't want to see her friendless.

" Me matt and Davis are just going over to the arcade," He waved his hand behind him to a blond haired boy and red head that Sora recognised vaguely. Both of them seemed to be staring at Tai with shocked expressions.

" Come on Sora," Debbie snapped,

" You guys carry on I'll catch up in a minute," She told them

The girls exchanged worried glances, they couldn't go to the mall without Sora. Who would help them find that perfect outfit?

" Come on girls," Debbie said loudly as she started to walk quickly up the street. She had always been after Sora's role as popular girl, but she'd never had that essence everyone loved about Sora. The other girls started to follow her with confused looks over their shoulders at Sora.

" Hey I've got a cool idea how about I come with you guys," She suggested.

" You want to hang out with us?" Davis blurted out with surprise. Matt slammed his foot into his shin to make him shut up.

" I thought you were going to the mall with your friends over there," Tai teased her, knowing the torture she went through there.

" Ha ha very funny Tai," She said sarcastically, " Hey do you guys play pool?"

" Are you kidding I'm the king of pool," matt said casually trying to impress her.

" Well how about me and Tai go against you two?" She asked happily,

" That sounds like fun," Tai said quickly. Matt gave him a strange look, wasn't Tai saying he thought this girl was a mindless bimbo just three days ago.

" You can play pool?" Davis asked astonished,

" Not very well-"

" Well then perhaps you should go on my team. I can teach you how to play," Matt suggested to her.

" Lets just stick with the pairs we've got," Tai said quickly glaring evilly at matt.

" Only so you can look at her ass when she bends over," Matt hissed in his ear as they headed towards the arcade.

" Shut up Matt," Tai snapped as he gave his friend a little shove.

" I can't believe you just did that! You totally scammed us!" matt cried staring at the red haired girl holding her cue as she casually leaned on the poll table.

" Can't you handle the fact we beat you matt?" Tai asked mischievously,

" No I think it's more the fact that a girl beat him," Sora said slyly as a small grin curled across her flawless face.

" YOU SAID YOU COULDN'T PLAY!" Matt yelled staring at girl infront of him,

" No what I actually said was that I couldn't play very well compared to my cousin, he was national champion four years running. You just never let me finish,"

Davis and matt stared at her with jaws hanging around their ankles.

" Face it guys we just kicked your butts," Sora grinned as she high fived Tai in the air.

" Yeah we just rock," Tai grinned.

Well they did rock. They were great together, it was like they were on the same wavelength or something. He had to hardly open his mouth and she already knew he was going to say. Sora was great. The more time he spent with her the more he realised that. She was so easy to talk to, she seemed to understand him so well. And she wasn't some bimbo like he'd thought, she was really smart and cunning as well. He liked that, she was crafty and unexpected.

He hardly knew her but he already felt like she knew him so well.

If this didn't get her kicked out of the popular circle nothing would. At least it might make the girls stop copying her. She stepped out of her darkblue shiny convertible and walked over to her friends sitting on the grass outside the school.

" Wow Sora I love your new look!" Courtney squealed after a few puzzled glances with the other girls.

" Yeah it totally say, ' I don't give a dam' guys love it when girls don't bother," Holly told her eagerly.

No! That wasn't what she wanted at all! She wanted a' Sora what are you wearing?' or ' Sora what have you done?' Not god dammed compliments.

This morning she had decided that she would wear just what she felt like. She wouldn't bother what it looked like or if it was in fashion. This was what she used to wear all the time before she got in with the popular crowd. But now she was going to go back to being herself.

She had pulled on some screwed up baggy Grey pants and found an old lose blue shirt. She hadn't bothered to apply any make up to her skin and all she had done with her hair was pull it into a messy ponytail.

" Where did you get your pants from?" Debbie asked,

" Some store about five years ago,"

She watched the girls' faces cringe as she told them how old they were. None of them had ever worn anything more than three months old.

" It looks really cool Sora," Lisa said eager to suck up.

Oh well at least she'd made them cringe a little bit.

Sora kicked the empty coke can with her old trainers as she wandered through the peaceful park. Why her? Why did everyone have to copy her? It wasn't fair. None of it was fair. She'd never done anything to make people blindly follow her. All she wanted was a little bit of individuality. Was that really so much to ask?

The second she had entered school today in her baggy sport clothes, she had met the sight of nearly every girl in the same scruffy image as her. Even princess perfect Debbie had roughed up her image with a tight sports shirt and baggy darkblue pants. Tai was the only person who actually saw what she was trying to do. Probably because Tai was the only person who knew what she thought. Out of all the hundreds of students at that school he was the only one she felt she could talk to. There was something friendly and welcoming about him that just made her like him. He was probably the only real friend she'd had in a long time. What a depressing thought. She had never really been able to talk to girls or boys properly. Well she had been able to talk to one girl. Mimi She had been Sora best friend since they were four years old. They had been through everything together, she understood Sora better then she understood herself. But now Mimi had moved away to NewYork four years ago. She had left Sora totally alone. That's when she had started to mingle with the popular crowd.

A couple of yards down the path Sora was following she saw a familiar figured crying into her knees on a park bench.

" Kari?" Sora called as she approached the bench.

The younger girl sniffed and sobbed in answer.

" Oh Kari what's wrong?" She sat down beside her and rapped a comforting arm around her shoulder.

" Nothing," Kari mumbled into her legs,

" It doesn't look like nothing to me,"

" You wouldn't understand," She snapped bitterly, " Just go away and leave me alone,"

" Kari I'm not going to leave you in the middle of the park when you're in this state. Please just tell me what's wrong, you'll feel allot better after you've talked about it. I promise I won't tell anyone,"

Kari lifted her tearstained face from her knees.

" It's these girls at school . . ."

" Are they bullying you? If they are I can get their heads kicked in for you,"

" No! They . . .Their not bullying they just . . .they make me feel so low. Anytime I do anything well they start making me feel like shit. They take the piss out of everything I try to do. They laugh at me, my hair, my clothes, my friends . . ."

" Oh Kari," She pulled the little girl closer to her as she began to cry again.

" Their just jealous Kari. I know that it doesn't seem like it, but they are. Their jealous because you pretty, smart and you're a nice person,"

" They hate me,"

" Not everyone can be your friend no matter how hard you try,"

" How would you know! Everyone's dying to be friends with you, I bet there'd probably pay for you to eat lunch with them,"

" Kari i . . .Not everyone likes me. The only reason people want to be my friend is because I'm popular. They don't like me for being me. The people who call themselves my best friends slag me off the moment my back is turned. You're so lucky to have people that actually care about you Kari,"

" Tai likes you. Not just because of who you are, he really likes you,"

Sora tried to hide a smile. She liked Tai too. He was defiantly a good friend.

" Kari promise me you won't listen to what any of those girls say. And when they do just turn around and give them this glare that says what the hell are you doing. People hate that believe me. It makes them feel really small and there stop it. And if they don't stop it you come to me and I'll kick their asses,"

" Okay," Kari laughed as she wiped her eyes.

" Just remember how great you are Kari. I like you, don't listen to what any of them say,"

" You're a star," A deep voice whispered into Sora's ear as she walked home from school. Her heart flipped as she felt his warm breath on the back of her neck tickling her skin.

" Oh really why's that?" She grinned as she turned around to look up at Tai.

" You have no idea how happy Kari was last night when she came home. She was practically walking on air,"

She felt something twang inside her chest as he looked at her gratefully. She was the one that had made him so happy.

After school yesterday she had driven to Kari junior high, pulled up infront of all the kids outside and asked her if she wanted to go shopping with her. Kari was ecstatic at the look on the girls' faces when they saw her driving off with their role model. She was even happier at the fact that Kelly Matthews thought she knew Sora really well, when Sora had never even spoken to her.

They went to the mall, shopped, had ice cream, flirted with some boys and talked. Sora had been to that mall a hundred times but she had never had as much fun as last night. It was just like having Mimi back again, only Kari wasn't as experienced as Sora but she was still great to talk to.

" Well what's the use in having a big brother if his friend can't help you out once in a while,"

She had just called him her friend. It wasn't a big deal but something inside him shot up with happiness.

" Thanks Sora I really appreciate that. You didn't have to hang with my little sister,"

" I liked hanging out with Kari. She's really cool,"

" So where are you going now. Did you finally lose your band of followers?"

" I told them I had loads of homework to do, so I get to spend the rest of day at home,"

" Sora you are such a liar,"

" Hey do you want to come over. I haven't got anything better to do, we can just hang out and watch some T.V,"

" Great that sounds cool," He flashed her that electrifying smile.

Tai was definitely a good-looking boy. He had a playful, ordinary essence about him. He was like a little boy trapped inside a superstar's body. She liked the fact that he wasn't scared to be himself, she really admired the way he fooled around like a little kid. A stupid thing to admire, she knew that, but there was just something about him. He was like her little brother or something.

She pushed her key into the lock and opened the light blue front door.

BAM! Out of nowhere something green flew at Sora and landed on her back.

" Get off me!" She screamed at the little blurred creature as she tried to shake him off by spinning around really fast.

Tai stepped forward and easily and picked up the little animal with one hand.

He looked curiously at the blonde little boy who vaguely resembled Sora. He thrashed about and kicked out to make Tai put him down as he swung in the air.

" Hey put me down!" The kid screamed,

" Tai this pest is my brother Greg. I'd put him down before he starts biting,"

Tai carefully lowered the little boy to the floor and he immediately tried to take Tai's legs out from underneath him. Luckily Tai was a lot bigger and stronger than this pesky little rodent.

" Hey do you want to play wrestling. I'm going to be a wrestler when I grow up. I bet I can take you on. I bet I can. Come on I'll show you," He blabbered quickly,

" Not today Greg, now go and jump off the balcony or something," She muttered as she led Tai into her room.

He immediately went over to her c.d. collection and started searching for a good album.

" Hey I didn't know you played the guitar!" he exclaimed as he noticed the autistic electric blue guitar in the corner of her room.

" Oh I don't anymore. I used to but I just got bored of it,"

He left her CDs and picked up the guitar out of its stand.

" Your right, it's really dusty," He sat down on her bed and started strumming a few cords.

" Do you play?"

" Matt taught me some stuff when I was trying to impress my ex-girlfriend,"

" Oh yeah how did you impress her?"

" I serenaded her at her balcony window,"

Sora grinned, she could just imagine Tai doing that actually. Crazy as it might sound he seemed like that romantic kind.

" That's really sweet," She laughed, knowing that's what he wanted to hear. She wasn't about to go and tell him seven different guys had done that for her. Five of them had ended up with cold buckets of water over their heads. Freaks, they just wouldn't leave her alone no matter how much she told them she didn't want to be with them.

" Go on then play something," She asked him as she sat down beside him. He looked upwards thoughtfully then smiled.

" Baby set me free from this misery,

I can't take it no more,

Since you went away nothings been the same,

Don't know what I'm living for," He sang as he started to play bbmaks ' back here'.

" I love that song," Sora exclaimed.

" I saw you had the C.D,"

" Carry on," She edged him,

" And here I am so alone,

And there's nothing in this world I can do,"

She smiled at him as he played. She had never realised what a beautiful voice he had. She couldn't say that for many people, but his held a certain musical ring to its deep husk. His eyes seemed to sparkle as he smiled at her. She was unaware of how close she was leaning to him.

" Until your back here baby,

Miss you want you need you so,

Until your back here baby,

There's a feeling inside I want you to know,"

His voice had slowly been getting lower with out his knowledge. Now it was almost a whisper as he stared into her beautiful hypnotic amber eyes. Was that really his heart pounding in his ears, he'd never heard it like that before. She was only four inches away from his face now. So close he could feel the electricity sparkling between them.

" You are the one . . .and I can't let you go," he whispered as his hand fell off the guitar up towards her soft cheek. She closed her eyes slowly and titled her head. He moved even closer towards her. He could feel her soft warm breath on his lips. Just a few more seconds and they would finally connect.

Ring Ring. They almost leapt apart as the phone on her desk jumped into life.

He blushed violently at the awaked situation they were now in. She stood up hardly daring to look at him from embarrassment.

" Hello?" She asked softly into the receiver.

" SORA!" A voice screamed down the phone to her.

" Mimi," A sigh of relief left her throat.

Tai picked up the guitar and placed it back on the stand. He could hear her friend chattering away like there was no tomorrow, a perfect time to escape.

" Uh . . .I better go," He mumbled to her,

" You don't have to," She whispered cupping a hand over the receiver,

" No I'll see you tomorrow Sora,"

As though his feet were on fire he dashed out of the apartment.

Something snapped inside Sora. She wanted to run after him and scream that she hadn't meant to do it. But she had, again. This time to her bestfriend.

Authors note- See I said the second part would be soon. I think that it might take a while for the third chapter because my Mom's making me stay at my dads for a week. But I'll have loads of time to work on a good ending.

Just so you all know I'm not trying to get sympathy for Sora here, I'm just working on her background.
