Part II: Can't Get You Out Of My Thoughts

As Sora gazed into Tai's chocolate-brown eyes she noticed a hint of sadness in them. While he was talking, they seemed full of the spark that kept her so interested in them. His hair was pushed back by the goggles, but she knew that when it was let loose it would be floppy and soft and exactly the same color as his eyes. Oh, how she longed to run her fingers through that hair. She walked away from him, only looking back once and that's when she saw the sadness and almost regret in his eyes. Sora knew that she liked him, but she just didn't know how much. Since they had come back from the DigiWorld years ago, Sora and Tai had remained the closest out of all the Digidestined, but just as friends. She did feel a longing inside, almost like something was missing, but she always kept her feelings to herself.

With that she walked on home, across the street to her apartment building, still thinking about him. *I can't help it. He just seems to be everywhere that I go. It's probably like coincidence or something.* As she reached her home the sickly smell of flowers reached her nose and she cringed mentally.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"That wasn't very long sweetie. Do you want some dinner? It'll be ready soon."

"Yes, please. I'll be in my room."

She splayed out on her bed and laid there thinking. *Tai is the most loud, excitable and bossy person that I know. But those are the things that I like about him. I think. I bet he doesn't like me half as much as I like him, he's always got tons of girls waiting at the soccer field for him, he never bats an eyelid when I'm there.* Without expecting it, a small tear ran down Sora's face. *Why am I crying? It's the truth. He just likes me as a friend and nothing more and I don't even know how much I like him. My head hurts.* She rolled over and fell asleep.

After Sora had left Tai standing on the sidewalk, in his eyes, the world seemed to dim a little. He'd always thought that around Sora there seemed to be this glow that brightened up his vision of the world when she was around. She strode off across the street with her soft hair blowing in the warm, summer breeze, while he just stood there like a lemon. *Stop staring, you dork!* He thought to himself. He snapped out of his trance and ran back down to the soccer field to get his things and go home.

On the way home he spotted his sister, Kari, sitting on a bench by the side of the road.

"Hey, Kari!" He shouted to her, while running towards the bench

"Oh, hey Tai. How was soccer?"

"We won. Of course. I scored the winning goal." He said proudly.

"Where've you been? The game finished ages ago." Kari questioned him. She was always so curious.

"Um, I've just been talking to someone." He didn't want her to know that he'd been talking to Sora, but he didn't want to lie to her either.

"Who?" She probed.

"Just someone, ok?"

"Was it Sora?" *Damn.* She always seemed to know what he'd been doing.

"Yes, it was Sora. Happy now?!"

"You should really tell her, you know, about how you feel. Maybe she feels the same way. I'm surprised you haven't told her already. You're not scared, are you?"

"No way! I'm never scared. I'm just waiting for the right moment. Now can we go home now?" He wanted to stop talking about this subject.

"Ok. Lets go."

She jumped off of the bench and they walked down the short length of street by their apartment building. The smell of fungus casserole wafted out from their door, so they pinched their noses before they entered.

After Sora had woken up from her nap and had her dinner, she decided to go outside and have a walk to chase the cobwebs away. She didn't have much of a destination so she just walked wherever her feet took her, and found herself near Tai's building.

*Oh great.* She thought. *How did I end up here?* She was just about to turn around when she heard a voice calling her name.

"Hey, Sora!" She spun round, hoping that it was Tai. But it wasn't. It was Kari.

"Oh, hi Kari."

"Whatcha doing here, in this neighborhood?"

"I just came for a walk and found myself here. Listen, can we have a talk."

"Sure. Come sit over here." Said Kari as she motioned towards a nearby bench. Sora wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Kari, as she was like a little sister to her.

"Kari, I want to tell you something that I have never told anyone before." It was true, she'd never allowed anyone to know about her secret feelings for Tai. But Kari seemed like she deserved to know.

"What is it Sora?"

"I ... I just wanted you to know something, about me." *I don't know how to say this, it seems really stupid of me to just blurt it out to her, but what else can I do. I've kept this inside for so long, it'll probably be a relief to let someone know.*

So she continued, "I think ... I think I like Tai more than I should." She spurted it out fast so that she herself would barely hear it, and squeezed her eyes shut waiting for Kari's reaction.

"I knew it!" Kari practically screamed, "I think you and Tai need to talk, I'll go get him. Wait here." And she zoomed off the bench and into the building.

"No! Kari don't!" But it was too late, she was already out of earshot.
