Good Match
'How could this be happening?' The thought was racing through both friend's minds as they trudged slowly down the hall with their hands in their pockets, headed towards the office.
Matt and Tai had never once fought before on such serious terms. Sure, there was the occasional brawl, but nothing that could possibly have the after-effect of a ruined friendship.
But if you want to know the really bad part about their short fight, it was that, unlike other occasions, they were both still furious with eachother. The only thing stopping them from killing eachother right there in the hall was the fact that they were still so surprised about their fight in the first place.
Especially Matt. He knew it had been about a girl, which one he didn't know, but he supposed Tai did or he wouldn't have gotten so worked up over it.
The entire argument had started with the simple topic of the dance and dates. Tai had asked Matt to describe the perfect girl, one he would go out with, and obviously Tai had taken it the wrong way because before he knew what was happening, they were all fists.
Both teens realized they were quickly nearing the office and before Tai opened the door and Matt heard the secretary on the phone- probably already talking with his dad - he had the chance to quickly wonder 'What girl could make Tai react that way?'.
But as soon as he had gotten in the door, he realized there were bigger things on his mind, like if the principle still believed in whips and strapping....
~~~Lunch~~~
"Hey All! How's life been treatin' ya?" Matt sounded happy enough, for a person that just came out of the principle's office with nothing less than a months worth of detentions. He walked over to their usual lunch table and met up with Joe, Mimi and Sora.
"So, what you get, the strap, the whip, an ice cream?" Joe sounded sarcastic, not his usual style, but only because Matt had had an actual real fight with Tai. Joe put down his fork and looked up at his friend, his features in a frown. Matt couldn't help but feel a bit of remorse about what he had done, Joe had that effect on people.
"Well actually Joe, none of the above" He said, putting down his tray of the normal cafeteria slop and taking the seat next to Sora, farthest from Joe's disappointed stare. "The principle just gave me a week's worth of detentions, and, since it was my first time offence, told me to 'never, ever, do it again'"
"How did you and Tai get into the fight anyway?" asked Sora, picking at her food. She never was sure if it was actually or had ever, really, been edible.
"You'know, I'm not really sure. Me and Tai just started talking about the dance and our perfect dates and then- boom- he's got his fist in my face. Naturally I kicked his little ass, but I never really knew why" He took one bite of his 'spaghetti', gagged, and pushed the food away from him.
"Oh, well, anyway, tell us all about what your perfect girl would be like?" Mimi rested both elbows on the table and stared straight at Matt, waiting expectantly. She had a way of turning bad things to good. Sora just shifted her eyes slightly curious, Joe simply bit into his apple.
"Ok Mims, if you want. Maybe you'll be able to find out what was so offending about it. Anyway, let's see...hmm...Oh, I got it. My perfect date would, obviously, be a girl, with deep eyes that would tune you in on every emotion she was feeling. She'd be able to fit in in about any crowd, but wouldn't take popularity too seriously. She would feel comfortable around my friends and would be at least a little athletic..."
Mimi could see Matt was getting lost despite himself, so she pushed him on. She decided that if she were going to set him up on a date, like she was, she'd need to know the basic facts.
"So what does this dream girl look like Matt?" She leaned farther in on the table, coaxing him on. Both Sora and Joe now showed visible interest, but for different reasons entirely.
"Hmmm...Ok, let's see now...I didn't really get this far with Tai but hear goes" Joe cocked his head slightly, so far, this description reminded him of someone "She'd probably be pretty, with a good figure I guess...Well, at least enough to look good in the school uniform" They all subconsiously turned their eyes down to look at their drab clothes.
"She'd have to be tall, too, because I like a girl that I can look in the eye. She'd probably have short hair, not too short, but not too long either...She'd have soft, red lips, naturally and soft skin...A-and most importantly" added Matt, trying to recover himself after being so intimate "She would not be one of my 'biggest fans', but she would like my music"
Mimi and Joe both looked at eachother understanding and surprise etched across both of their faces. Sora looked down quickly and blushed faintly, this sounded a bit like her...
Matt just looked around curiously before saying: "What? I guy can dream can't he?" and taking a large swig of his pop.
The can came down and his eyes opened just as Tai and Izzy entered the cafeteria. 'Uh oh, this ain't gonna be pretty...' Thought Matt, as well as everyone else at the his table. They all unwillingly backed their chairs away from the tiny table, ready to get up quickly if things got too out of control.
It was then that Tai noticed his friends, and Matt. He looked quickly at who he hopped to be his future girlfriend, Sora, then angrily turned his head at his now for certain ex-friend before grabbing Izzy's shirt sleeve and storming away angrily, but not before turning an unflattering shade of red.
"This is more serious than I thought" said Matt quietly, the others nodded in silent agreement "I didn't know I hit him hard enough to turn his face purply red...Maybe he should see the nurse" Matt quickly took another sip of his coke, his friends just stared at eachother in wide-eyed disbelief.
~~~History class~~~
Matt considered himself fortunate that science was the only class he had with Tai, after the way he stomped out of the caf at lunch..., he didn't want to think of how he'd treat him now.
'Maybe this was all a big misunderstanding...' he thought mentally, tapping his pencil lightly against his notebook. 'Maybe me and Tai'll be able to get this thing cleared up before dinner time, that is, if he can stand to be in my presence...'
The teacher was droning on about some sort of war or resolution, meanwhile all Joe could think of was the dilenma of the boy next to him, what he didn't know was that Matt was thinking about the same thing, at least, not after what he had said at lunch. Joe quietely began humming the tune of a new song he had heard while his eyes were locked to somewhere over the teacher's shoulder, pretending to be paying close attention.
His mind kept wandering back to Matt's 'perfect girl' and wondering what about her was so familiar and unsettling to Tai...Of course, this was rather hard when thoughts of Mimi and how he was going to ask her to homecoming kept popping back into his head.
All of a sudden, a memory from earlier that day flashed through his mind...
*~*
"Well, ya, I guess I was thinking of asking one of them (Mimi and Sora). B-but only as friends Joe, relax. So anyway, I found out a few days ago about how you felt, so I obviously couldn't ask Mimi and then..."
"Taichi told you he wanted to ask Sora, didn't he. You know, I always thought they'd make a good couple. But you do know you don't need a date, right? Just go alone, enjoy the single life."
"Really, you think Tai and Sora would make a good couple?"
'Well, ya, I guess. I mean they've been friends for a real long time and I know how Tai feels about her. He practically talks about her non-stop, you wouldn't imagine how many qualities one girl could possibly ever have." "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason. I was just thinking that if he were just going to ask her to the dance as friends, I might as well ask first."
*~*
"Oh my gawd...They both have it bad for Sora!" Joe didn't realize he'd said this out loud until after the teacher had asked him what that had to do with the lesson, Joe had answered nothing, blushing lightly at the stares he had received, and gone back to his thoughts, now clearer than ever.
'How can this have happened without me realizing it, or Matt for that matter...At least Tai isn't as blind as the rest of us. I wonder if Matt'll ever figure it out- I really hope this is just a phase he's going through...' His mind kept racing but stayed pretty much on the same topic, with him asking questions he knew only Matt could answer.
Meanwhile, unknown to Joe, but his sudden outburst in class had sent knew thoughts through Matt's brain. Mostly things like- 'Someone else likes Sora?', 'Hope he's not some kinda jerk like Tai was today' and 'If he asks her to the dance, I'm going to be forced to hurt him'.
His last thought was a bit new to him, he had never wanted to hurt one of Mimi's possible boyfriends, but then again, they weren't as close as him and Sora, right?
Whatever the reason, Matt began to feel a certain jealousy about every guy Sora had ever had the slightest interest in, and, believe it or not, numero uno on his list was the all too well-known, Taichi Kamiya.
But it didn't matter about what Matt felt now because he was still in denial about what it was all based on-- His new-found crush on one of his former best friends, Sora.
~~~~The end of Chapter #2~~~~
A/N: So how was that? I'll try to put some more Mimoe/Jyoumi and Sorato in next time...I'm really just getting started- But I am trying to finish this before Christmas. Feel free to let me know how you think I'm doing, I'd really appreciate it. So till next time - minda
