1 Chapter 2- The Jealousy of Courage and Friendship

Matt and Tai were sat in their usual place at the table in the corner of the classroom. They were busy talking to each other about girls specifically Sora and Mimi. However, they had to be careful because Hayley, one of the school's gossips was sitting right in front of them so they were keeping it quiet.

"Tai, what on earth can we do to get the girls to notice us?" Matt inquired

"I have no idea buddy," Tai replied as he gazed at Sora sitting on the opposite side of the room, "Man, why did she have to have a boyfriend already?"

"What? She's goin' out with someone?!" Matt gasped with surprise

"Hello, Earth to Matt! She's going out with Will…" Tai explained with a hint of sarcasm.

"Isn't that the tall, weird guy with the Iron Maiden backpack?" Matt asked

"Yeah, and if it wasn't for him then I'd be cuddling Sora right now!" Tai moaned as he banged his head against the table. Sora turned around to see what was happening, she saw the soccer superstar banging his head and immediately raised an eyebrow, Tai blushed slightly and looked at Matt for help. Sora shook her head slightly and giggled before turning around again.

"Well, that certainly helped you out, didn't it?" Matt laughed

"Shut it, Matt! My head hurts now!" Tai snapped.

"Sorry man, I suppose I shouldn't be making fun of you, I have my own problems…" Matt sympathised

"Really?" Tai said surprised that Matt didn't actually start an argument with him, "Is it about Mimi?"

"Well…" Matt began but at that precise moment the bell rang for their first lesson with was gym. They began to walk to the gymnasium, their gym teacher, Mr. Brooks stormed out and blew his whistle, "Right, I want you all to get changed NOW!" he bellowed. Tai, Matt and the rest of the boys ran into the changing rooms while the girls walked in afterwards. Matt decided now was a good time to continue since his closest friends were around him who would actually listen without starting to laugh uncontrollably since Mr. "Cool Guy" would actually reveal his emotions.

"Anyway as I was saying about 5 minutes ago…my problems are pretty similar to yours, Tai," Matt started

"What? Mimi has a boyfriend?" Tai queried

"WHAT?" the other Digidestined asked in shock

"No! No! I said SIMILAR not EXACTLY like Tai's problem" Matt said as he slapped his forehead. "There's this guy in Miss Robert's class who is tall like me, slightly muscular, has short blonde hair and wears that cap that Fred Durst wears, he has Mimi practically wrapped around his little finger…"

"Really…what's the guy's name?" Ken asked

"His name is…" Matt stated but soon came face-to-face with the boy who he hated a lot, "…Adam…"

"Well, if it isn't the big bass guitar player from that band…" Adam taunted, "Oh yes, you're also the lad who has the major hots for Mimi unfortunately she seems to like me better!"

Matt suddenly had flames in his eyes and he was about to punch his opponent in the face however Mr. Brooks came in and told all the boys to get in the gym and start to warming-up their bodies.

"Man…you were right, that guy is a total ass, isn't he?" Tai said

"Hmm…" Matt replied sadly.

All the girls ran in including Sora, Mimi and Kari. This caused Matt, Tai and T.K to stare in amazement at their beautiful slender figures plus their silky, smooth skin which was made shiny by the sunlight radiating through the windows. However, Kari noticed this and pointed it out to the other two girls.

"Look, we have admirers!" Kari giggled.

"Oh yeah! Tai looks so hot in his gym clothes" Sora sighed dreamily

"Matt looks rather handsome as well…what a man!" Mimi grinned. "Hey, where's Yolei?"

"Not sure…" Kari replied

"There she is!" Sora pointed at Yolei who was watching a certain guy do press-ups.

Yolei Inoue- one of the newset Digidestined- was staring at Ken, the ex- Digimon Emperor, Ken saw what she was up to but didn't really mind. Yolei winked at him before joining up with her best friends. The boys looked away from the girls and ran off to begin their basketball practise since it was what they were doing in that lesson. Matt, Tai and T.K were having a great time until they had to get into a basketball match. They had to play against Adam, Will and Davis (A/N: what a coincidence). Matt, Tai and T.K were actually winning due to T.K's world-class basketball skills however when Matt had a chance to score a basket and to make himself look good in front of Mimi, Adam stuck his leg out and tripped the Guardian of Friendship up.

"Owww!! My leg!" Matt groaned with pain.

"Guess you aren't as good as you thought, pretty boy?" Adam laughed evilly.

"You…" Matt said angrily "You did that on purpose!!"

"No…you don't say…" Adam smiled.

Matt couldn't take part for the rest of the lesson so Ken took Matt's place in the game. Luckily; Ken, Tai and T.K won. Matt was pretty glad that he had to sit out since he was getting plenty of sympathy from Mimi, the only one for him. Soon enough, gym was over and the students all went to get changed. Matt was soon getting help from his friends.

"That cheat!" T.K growled, angry that someone hurt his big brother.

"I would be happy to testify for you!" Izzy offered with a grin on his face.

"Thanks Iz, but I don't think I need it…" Matt replied thankfully, "But he is not getting away with that!"
