Chapter Two: The Truth
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sora ran up to her room beaming and picked up the phone. It rang four times before someone finally answered it. She sighed to get the excitment out of her...a little.
"Hey, Matt! My mom said I could go to California with you!" She said happily.
"Really?" He asked shocked. Sora smiled again. "Really." She whispered.
"What? What's going on?" He asked confused by her sudden change of mood.
"Nothing...I'll tell you later."
"Yeah, it's nothing but you'll tell me about it later, huh? There is definatly something wrong, Sora." He said in his normal, 'You Know Something And I Don't So Tell Me Now' kind of voice. She laughed.
"I'll meet you at the diner tomorrow at noon, okay?" He laughed a little.
"Okay. I'll, uh...talk to you later, then. Don't be late, either. The plane leaves-"
"At two o'clock, I know." He laughed. "Alright, well, bye."
"Bye, Matt." She said before hanging up.

The next morning, Sora got up and dressed just in time to meet Matt at the diner by twelve. Of course, she had to keep her pace up. Once the diner came in sight she sighed in releif. There was Matt waiting patiently for her. Sora smiled and waved at him. He spotted her and walked up to her.
"Hey, Matt." She said smiling. He smirked.
"Hey. So, what's been up?" He asked as they walked into the diner.
"Nothing."
He turned to the young red-haired girl and glared at her.
"Sora, just because I've been gone for three-"
"Four..."
"Years, doesn't mean I don't care about you! I just want to know why are you acting so weird? You were all happy and then got all...shy when we were on the phone! Sora, you have to tell me!" He almost yelled. Sora looked away from him and at the ground as she bit her lip and cried.
"I don't have to tell you anything. And I don't have to go with you anywhere." She snapped walking off. Matt just stood there astonished at her tone of voice.
"Sora! Wait! Sora!" He yelled. She turned around.
"You really want to know?" She asked. He looked straight into her eyes and nodded.
"I'm not telling you this because I have to...only because I want to. It's just, that I don't know why, but ever since you've been here my additude has changed."
"I'll say..."
"No, I mean, I've been happier and not so depressed. I thought it would last awhile, you know? Then, just a minute ago...I felt like you - you were mad at me. And maybe you were. Matt, I'm about to be sixteen and...you've been in my sitiuation before, right?" He smirked.
"Only two months ago, Sora. It's not anything great."
"But can't you just have a dream for it to be perfect, nothing going wrong?" Sora asked as the tears settled.
"Yeah. So, are we still going?" She smiled.
"If you're not mad at me." She said joking. He put his arm around her and smiled.
"I'm hungry." He stated as they walked into the diner. She laughed. "What's new Ishida?"
