Chapter Three: "I'll Race Ya!"
The bright sunlight fell onto Sora's face as she unboarded the plane. She walked down the steps quickly, followed by Matt. Once he got to the bottom of the stairs, Sora turned around and smiled.
"So, how far is Holl-"
"About an hour." He answered quickly. She smiled and hugged Matt. He stood there schocked for a moment and then hugged her back. She sighed.
"Thank you so much, Matt." He smiled.
"You're welcome." Sora pulled away and kissed him on the cheek. After that, she quickly turned away and walked away with her bags.
"So, are you depressed that you and your mom are apart for your birthday? I mean...it is your sweet sixteen." She smiled as he caught up with her.
"Like you said, it isn't that great." He smirked.
"You're impossible!" He joked. She looked at him and laughed.
"Oh, am I?" She asked with an evil glint in her eyes. "Race ya to the taxi!"
"You're on!" He said. She smiled and began running. Matt did too, but tripped over his bag.
"I'm gonna beat you! You just wait!" He said untangling his foot from the straps. "Sora! Come on! I paid for the taxi last time! Sora!"

"Seven, eight, nine, ten dollars." Matt said handing the money to the driver. As the driver drove off Matt looked at Sora who was beaming. He smirked.
"It wasn't a fair race." He stated. She looked into his eyes.
"Well, you're going to have to learn to say no."
He rolled his eyes. "Matt, can we go to the walk of fame? Please?"
"No." She popped his arm playfully. "Hey, you told me to learn to-"
"Shut up."
"You!"
"You!" She yelled back playfully. He smiled.
"Let's just get to the hotel, okay?" She shrugged.
"I'll race ya to the hotel..." She began.
"I'm not-Sora! Wait up!" He yelled. He smirked and ran after her.

"I'm only paying for room service, Matt." Sora said annoyed. Matt just smiled.
"You're gonna have to learn not to take me for granted." She turned around.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" He shrugged.
"Nothing. You just thought I'd lose, but I didn't." She nodded. "Whatever."
He smiled and walked up to their room with Sora right behind him. Once they got to the room he stopped. Sora walked slowly up beside him.
"Matt. what's wrong?" He looked at her.
"You notice how happy we are together? I mean...you said I changed you. I kinda think you've changed me, too. I've never smiled so much or had such a blast with anyone in my life." Sora blushed, but smiled.
"Well, I'm not your typical teen." He looked at his watch. 12:00.
He leaned towards her and she leaned towards him. Their lips met in a soft, delicate kiss. She knew right then that this wasn't a friendly kiss. He really liked her...he LIKE liked her. Sora blushed as he kissed her. They pulled apart.
"Happy sweet sixteen." He whispered. She looked into his amazing eyes.
"Thank you." She said softly. "For...everything."
