"That is it Yamato!" Masaharu 'Malcolm' Ishida yelled at his oldest son, "you are headed straight to a boarding school!"
"Whatever" Yamato 'Matt' Ishida, replied.
"Don't 'whatever' me young man! Do you understand! You're going to a boarding school in America!"
"Sure, why not"
"Yamato Ishida, go to your room!"
And so Matt went into his room. 'Damn, boarding school, fuck, well what do I care? It'll still be like living in this shit place except I'll be sleeping at school with gays'.
'Gotta phone Nancy about this' Malcolm picked up the phone and dialed his ex-wife, Natsuko 'Nancy' Takaishi's phone number. After 3 rings she picked up.
"Hello, Takaishi residence"
"Hi Nancy, it's me Malcolm"
"Oh, hello Malcolm"
"Listen, Nancy, Matt got in trouble yet again at school"
"What'd he do now?"
"Put a kid in hospital"
"Oh dear, is the kid ok?"
"Yeah, should be but I've just had it with Matt, I can't take his attitude anymore so I've decided to send him to a boarding school"
"... you think that's a good idea?"
"Yes, he can shape up his life there, what do you think?"
"Ok... but what about T.K? He'll miss his brother"
"... maybe T.K should go too"
"... you want me to loose another son?"
"C'mon Nancy, it'll be good education at boarding school and T.K will like it, spending more time with his brother"
"... ok, but when I want him to come back, he comes back, alright?"
"Sure, sure"
"And I pick the boarding school"
"Go ahead, I don't know any"
"Preston Academy, that's where T.K's best friend is, it'll help him adjust"
"Ok, ok, tell T.K, can you enrol them?"
"Ok"
"Good, that's settled, well talk to you later"
"Bye"
Malcolm put the phone down and went to tell Matt.
~~~At The Airport~~~
"T.K, I'm gonna miss you so much!" Nancy said to her youngest son, crying.
"Mum!" Takeru 'T.K' Takaishi said, embarrassed.
"What? Can't a mother cry when she won't be able to see her son anymore until the holidays?"
"Well, you don't have to cry that loud!"
"I am not crying that loud T.K"
"Ok ok"T.K said with a sigh.
"And I'm going to miss you too, Matt!" Nancy continued.
"Yeah, whatever mum" Matt replied.
"Yamato, don't be rude to your mother!" Malcolm said.
"I wasn't being rude"
Malcolm glared at his son.
"Sor-ry" Matt said.
"Yamato!"
"I'm sorry okay?"
"That's better"
"Whatever"
Malcolm decided to leave it at that. When they got to the terminal Nancy gave each of her sons a hug and Malcolm told the boys to be good and for Matt to watch out for T.K.
"I am going to miss you boys so much!" Nancy couldn't help saying.
"It's not like you really knew me anyway" Matt mumbled.
"What was that?" Malcolm asked.
"Nothing" Matt replied.
"I can't wait to get there!" T.K said.
"Why?" Matt asked.
"cause-"
WILL ALL PASSENGERS FOR FLIGHT 147 PLEASE COME TO GATE 12 IMMEDIATELY, THE PLANE IS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF said a voice over the intercom.
"Gotta go guys" Malcolm said to his sons as he ushered them into the gate, "Bye, see you soon!"
"Bye T.K, Matt!" Nancy yelled to her sons as the door closed.
~~~On The Plane~~~
T.K sat near the window as Matt sat down beside him.
"So why are you so happy about going?" Matt asked his little bro.
"Because Kari will be there" T.K answered.
"Why would Kari be there?"
"Uh because she goes to Preston Academy, maybe" T.K said sarcastically.
"And how was I supposed to know that?" Matt retorted, "I thought it was boys only cause no way would dad let me go to a co-ed school for punishment"
"Well than maybe dad didn't know"
"And how could he not?"
"Well mum made all the arrangements"
"Ok, whatever"
"You know the other DD's are there as well" T.K put in.
"What!? You mean ALL of them?"
"Yep, Sora, Joe, Izzy, Mimi and Tai"
"Shit"
"And also Yolei, Ken, Davis and Cody"
"Who the fuck are they?"
"The new DD's two yrs ago"
"Oh, well whatever, but I think it's major coincidence that everyone decided to up and go to this Preston place"
"Well Preston Academy is pretty popular"
"If it is, wouldn't we have a hard time getting in"
"Mum's best friend works there"
"Oh, so how did all the others get in and why"
"They applied years before, I haven't seen Kari in two years, I'm so glad I get to see her again and keep her away from Davis"
"K, whatever"
"And bout everyone going, well Mrs Kamiya thought it was best for them to get a better education, especially for Tai, Sora moved near there after our Digi adventure, you know, so her mum just decided to put her in a boarding school, Mimi moved to New York and begged her parents to let her go to Preston, Joe and Izzy bribed their parents to go because of Mimi-"
"Ok, I don't really care about them and deffinately not about the kids I haven't met so now I'm just gonna listen to music so don't bug me" Matt said as he started listening to music.
'Matt what is wrong with you' T.K thought as he looked at his brother who had his eyes closed and humming to his music. T.K looked at what Matt was dressed in; way too baggy and way too big black shirt and jacket, even for a tall guy like him, ditto for the pants and he had on black boots. He had two earrings in his left ear and one in his left eyebrow, he also had chains all over his neck and wrists. He also wore pitch black contacts and had dyed his hair the same colour and his hair was hanging over his face that you could hardly see it but Matt kept it that way. Yep, Matt Ishida was a goth. Why, T.K didn't know.
It was hours later when the plane reached its destination.
"T.K, we're here" Matt said, waking up his little brother.
"Huh?" T.K asked, groggily.
"I said we're here, so c'mon" Matt said.
"Ok, ok" T.K said, getting up and following Matt down the aisle towards the front of the plane. When they got off they went through the usual checks and then came out of the front of the airport.
"What do we do now?" T.K asked.
"Wait for the guys that are suppose to pick us up, pick us up"
"Oh, ok"
They waited for 5 minutes and then a limo pulled up in front of them. 2 men in suits came out and asked if they were Yamato Ishida and Takeru Takaishi.
"Yes we are" T.K replied.
"Well come on into the limo" one of the men said.
Matt and T.K got in and after a long drive they came to Preston Academy. It was big, no humungous Matt saw as they past through the giant iron gates towards the entrance of the school. Once there, they got out of the limo and was greeted by an old stern looking lady. She must of been 60 and had her grayish hair in a bun.
"Well hello, you two must be our new students, Yamato Ishida and Takeru Takaishi" Said the lady.
"Yes we are, I'm Takeru, please call me T.K, and this is my brother, Yamato, you can call him Matt" T.K introduced.
"Nice to meet you both, T.K, Matt, I'm Mrs Steiner, the headmistress of this school, I hope you both will be glad here"
'I bet I'm gonna be seeing a lot of her' thought Matt.
"I'm sure we will" T.K said, politely.
"Well, let's get you two settled in shall we?" Mrs Steiner said as she led the boys inside the huge building and to administration.
"Matt, 11th grade, T.K, 8th grade, here are your timetables, dinner is always at 6:00 pm promptly, you get up at 6:00 am, lights out at 10:00 pm at the most, no sneaking into the girls dorms at all, got that?" Mrs Steiner said.
"Yes miss" T.K said.
"Alright than, you can go and unpack in your rooms, everyone has class right now and if you think you aren't jet lagged you may attend after you unpack, your room numbers are on your timetable, here are your uniforms, if you have any trouble just ask, sorry but I have to go now, a meeting, I'm sure you boys will fit in nicely" Mrs Steiner said as she gave them their keys and disappeared down a hallway.
"Well, I'm gonna go unpack and go to class, maybe Kari will be in it, I hope I surprise her, I haven't told her about coming" T.K said.
"K, I'm gonna go unpack though I ain't going to class, too tired" Matt said.
"Which way do we even go?" T.K asked.
"Left" Matt said, reading a plaque that pointed to boys or girls dorms.
So the two brothers walked around, ended up going upstairs then stopped at a landing when T.K said his dorm room was in the 400s so this is where he got off.
"Seeya later Matt" T.K said as Matt vanished upstairs to the 700s.
Matt's room number was 777 and when he reached it he took out the key and opened the door.
It was pretty normal but it had two beds. 'Shit, I got a roommate' Matt thought as he dropped his belongings on the bed that wasn't messy. He looked around, it had a small T.V and there were posters of soccer players on the walls.'Great, I get stuck with a soccer fanatic'. There was also a desk cluttered with books on top. Matt walked over and read the front of one. English, Taichi Kamiya. 'Tai! Shit! How could I get stuck in the same room as Tai! Oh this is great, just great' Matt plopped down on his new bed. 'God this is boring, I'm not even tired, maybe I should go to class and make new enemies, yeah I'll go to class' Matt glanced at his timetable, History, class room 214. 'Ok, I'm outta here, forget about the uniform, it's gay' Matt thought as he got off the bed and headed downstairs, taking an elevator this time.
~~~History Class~~~
"And so the native americans..." The history teacher droned on as Sora Takenouchi tuned him out. 'History class is boring. In fact, every class is boring, well except P.E. Nothing new ever happens here' Sora thought. She turned to her left where her best friend, Tai, probably the most popular guy in school, was flirting with some random girl. Suddenly there was a knock on the door which got everyone's attention. Mr Lambert, the history teacher, opened the door to reveal a tall black hair kid dressed in all black. 'Ha, a gothic rebel probably, and he has no fashion sense whats so ever, I mean look at his clothes, they are so baggy and his hair!? You can't even make out his face!' Sora thought.
"And you are?" Mr Lambert asked Matt.
" The new kid, Yamato Ishida" Matt replied.
"Oh, ok, I don't have time for this, please excuse me and take a seat and I'm assuming your not wearing uniform because your new, don't let me see you without one tomorrow" Mr Lambert said sternly.
Matt walked past him without answering and found a spare seat at the back. The girls tried to keep in their giggles as the boys in the room smirked. Matt didn't care, he was used to it.
"Oh, a rebel, no uniform" Tai whispered to Sora.
"Yeah but I bet his an outcast" Sora whispered back.
"You think?" Tai asked with a smirk. Sora rolled her eyes.
The bell then rang as everybody got up and rushed out of the room quickly.
"Ok class, essays due tomorrow remember" Mr Lambert yelled as students rushed past him through the door.
Sora and Tai walked out into the hallway and saw a little commotion at the lockers. 4 guys, jocks, were surrounding someone with black hair.
"I bet that's the new guy" Tai said.
"Probably" Sora agreed, "why won't you go help him out?"
"Why?"
"Because he's new"
"So? He decided to be a social outcast"
"Tai he is going to get beaten up on his first day"
"That's his problem"
"You are a jerk"
"Am not, I just don't like getting involved with things I'm not spose to"
"Well, aren't those guys your friends? Tell them to get lost"
"Look, I don't want to defend someone I don't even know, especially a freak"
"Tai-"
Sora stopped talking as a jock went flying into the walls opposite the lockers and knocked unconcious. 'Whoa' Sora thought. The 2 of the jocks than held onto each of Matt's arms as the 3rd punched him in the gut, reeling Matt forward. Matt than took his right leg forward and socked it into the jocks' stomach, making him bend over in pain. Matt than twisted his right arm and sent the other jock into the one holding onto his left arm, making them crash down. Matt punched the one bent over in the face and then did a double kick on the two other ones who were getting up, sending them back, sliding on the ground (A/N I just found out Matt's experienced in the martial arts, isn't that cool? It says so on his Toei profile). Then Mr Lambert came out of his class room and looked around seeing 4 injured jocks and Matt whom everyone was looking at. He gave a sigh then told some people to take the jocks to the nurse's office. He knew this new kid would be trouble, he walked up to him and said,
"You're lucky I'm not alerting Mrs Steiner because this is your first day and she should be at a meeting right now anyway so I'm letting you go but... you start playing sport for me, you must be strong to take them 4 on so meet me at 4 tomorrow, I'll let you try out for a sport, got that?"
"Why do I have to start a sport because you want me to" Matt asked.
"Because, like I said, I won't tell Mrs Steiner so you won't get suspended on your first day"
"I wouldn't give a shit"
"Now, why wouldn't you? You're trying out"
'Maybe I will take up a sport, it's pretty boring otherwise, not having the guys to secrectly play basketball with' Matt thought.
"Ok, fine" Matt replied.
"Ok, tomorrow, 4" Mr Lambert said, surprised the boy had given in.
By now the crowd had dispersed but the people around were eyeing Matt but as usual, he didn't care. Sora walked up to him with Tai in tow.
"Who the fuck do you think you are!" Tai yelled at Matt before Sora could say anything. Matt looked at him amused, he knew it was Tai, same big brown bush on his head.
"I'm not sure" Matt answered, "why don't you guess?"
For someone with his image, his voice was sure sexy, Sora thought.
"Why you, you, you freak!" Tai shouted.
"Tai, shut up, you're making everyone stare" Sora told him.
"So, this ass is trying to be smart" Tai spat.
"Well, do you want me to be dumb?" Matt asked. Sora laughed and Tai glared at her and she shut up.
"That's right, be quiet as soon as your knight in shining armour doesn't like it" Matt said to Sora.
"What?!" Sora said, "he is not my knight in shining armour and I do not do what he wants me to do!"
"Uh huh, you're just some girl who hangs off him probably because he's a popular soccer jock"
"How'd you know I play soccer!?" Tai asked.
"What?! Some girl! I'll give you some girl Mr Weirdo!" Sora spat.
"Calm down Princess" Matt said.
"You dick! How dare you judge me as a superficial bimbo!"
"Hey you said it, not me" Matt replied.
"You fucking bastard!"
"Ok, enough name calling Sora, I thought you were meant to be caring, Tai sure isn't keeping you well groomed"
"What!?" Tai and Sora both yelled, surprised he knew their name.
"Oh by the way, to answer your first question Tai, who do I think I am?I think I'm Yamato Ishida" Matt said as he walked off to his next class and out of sight, leaving a very stunned Tai and Sora.
