1 The Game of Life

Chapter 1- Pre-School Boredom

"It's 7:00 on this fine Monday morning…"

"What? Huh? Oooh great…another week of school" Matt Ishida-rebel, cool guy, mysterious rock icon in the Teenage Wolves- groaned as he turned off his FM radio alarm clock. He scratched his head, walked over to the his drawers then took out his comb and hair gel before stifling a yawn, he then made his way down to the bathroom.

About 30 minutes later, Matt rushed downstairs and into his kitchen where his dad, Malcolm, was reading the paper.

"Sleep well?" Mr. Ishida asked,

"Hmm… oh yeah…sure!" Matt replied in his usual emotionless voice,

"Well, you better get to T.K's otherwise you'll be late!" Mr. Ishida warned.

"WHAT?!" Matt looked at his watch and slapped his forehead, "Aww…crap!"

The rebel shoved a slice of toast into his mouth, grabbed his backpack then sprinted down the road to his little brother's house. All kinds of thoughts were rushing through his head- T.K, his band, Gabumon, Mimi…

"Huh? Why'd I suddenly think of her?" Matt shrugged it off then continued on his way. Eventually, he reached his destination and of course, he saw the boy he had cared for and protected all his life- T.K.

"Man, I thought you'd never come, big bro!" T.K said before laughing,

"Yeah yeah! Now come on, let's go man…" Matt grinned.

The two blondes sprinted for their lives up the main street. Now usually they would have called on Davis to make sure that the moron actually made it on time but in the last 6 months, Davis Motomiya had began acting like a total jerk to everyone which meant that the last dwindling hopes of him gaining popularity had disappeared.



About quarter of an hour later, the boys reached their school, which contained the elementary students and the high school students, so, of course there was more people than you would have expected. Matt and T.K went over to a nearby bench before collapsing on it panting heavily.

"Well, I think we got our exercise today, didn't we?" T.K gasped,

"Yeah…" Matt replied.

"Hey, wassup?" a familiar voice asked before laughing at his best friend's red face,

"Hey Tai, don't push your luck!" Matt said.

"We're fine, Tai. You know where your sister is?" T.K added.

"Oooh…T.K loves Kari, T.K loves Kari!" Matt taunted. T.K had a slight blush on his face by this time.

"Kari is coming today, she just had a few things to do so she'll be slightly late" Tai interrupted Matt's comments.

Soon, the school was filling up with pupils from all of the different grades; the other Digidestined began to arrive as well. Ken and Davis walked over to Matt, T.K and Tai while Sora and Mimi strolled over to the group of girls who had appeared in the last 5 minutes. "Typical day, ain't it?" Tai sighed staring at the Guardian of Love. "Yeah…" Matt groaned while looking at the Guardian of Sincerity, "I hate school!"

"You're telling me!" they all said in unison excluding Izzy and Joe who simply gave the other boys looks of digust.

As soon as the bell rang, all the friends went to their classrooms. T.K and Davis walked to Mr. Tissier's room, Davis was blabbing away about soccer and things in general; T.K was trying to ignore him since he hated everything that Davis loved, T.K enjoyed basketball and skateboarding while Davis was into soccer and his own reflection. Davis was about to say something else idiotic when they both heard a female voice from behind them, "Wait up guys!" T.K and Davis both looked over their shoulder and both sighed "Kari…" The rivals quickly stared at each other with electricity coming out of their eyes, both raised their fists and were prepared to fight when Kari stopped them.

"Will ya go out with me, please, Kari? I love ya so much!" Davis pleaded.

"Will you mind getting out of my face, your breath stinks, Motimoya…" Kari said angrily.

"Geez…she refused me again!!!" Davis moaned before walking off in a rage.

"Now, we have time to talk," Kari smiled.

"Great, so what you been up to?" T.K asked.

1.1 Author's Notes

I thought I should end it before they got into a really long and boring conversation, it may have been a rubbish chapter but it should get better, I promise!
