I hope you all enjoy it, and don't forget to review!!**
All The Angles
Chapter One: Departure
Tai glanced quickly back at Sora as they sat in eight straight rows in the school gymnasium. Things were flying through his head at breakneck speed, but Tai didn't mind it at all. Around him, his classmates sat in their green robes listening to their class speaker. That's right, it was Graduation Day, a day long prayed for by Tai and many other people. Tai felt a kick, and turned to see Matt grinning at him with mischief in his dazzling blue eyes. He handed Tai a can of orange silly string, which Tai quickly hid from the view of his strict principal.
"Hey. . .can you believe this is really happening?" Matt said quietly, trying to keep attention from himself. Tai shook his head and pretended to be engrossed in the young man's speech, when in reality he just wanted to grab his diploma and run wildly out of Odaiba High School forever. He peeked back at Sora one more time, and smiled when she flashed a sweet smile at him.
Matt was right, Tai really couldn't believe he was sitting with his classmates for the last time. It had all gone by so fast, and Tai wished he could do it again, although he would never say that to a soul. He was the kind of guy who never liked school, even though he really did on the inside. He loved coming to class and talking with his friends, he loved soccer practice, and hanging out on weekends was the best thing in the world next to pizza. But four years had passed for Tai very quickly, and now he was standing at the end of it all, watching as the first row of people were called onto the stage to receive their diplomas. He and Matt were seated in the third row, and Sora was in the sixth. The second row was suddenly called, and Tai was snapped out of his daydreams.
"This is it!" Tai murmured as the second row began to take their diplomas from a member of the high school staff. Tai felt himself shrink as an underclassman motioned for him to sit up and follow him to the stage. Tai and Matt gulped and walked with their row onto the stage, standing quietly as each name was read aloud.
"Yamato Ishida." The principal called. Instantly the crowd erupted into screams as Matt stepped forward and took his diploma. He waved to the crowd, then pushed himself in front of a microphone.
"This is one last song for all you high schoolers out there!" Matt yelled. Instantly, kids were on their feet. Matt sang the chorus to one of his songs, then walked calmly off the stage.
"Taichi Kamiya."
This was it, but Tai couldn't move. All he could think about was the past four years, and all the things he had done. Someone pushed Tai from behind, and Tai stepped forward to cheers from his family and all the people who had seen him play soccer. He took his diploma and walked off the stage with his head held high, his shoulders straight and broad. Taking his seat next to Matt, Tai watched as Sora's row was approaching the stage.
"Is she. . . .crying?" Matt asked, shocked. Tai could easily make out a single tear in Sora's eye as she walked onto the stage and took her diploma. Tai and Matt jumped up out of their seats, whooping and hollering for their friend, but sat down when the assistant principal stood next to them. Sora walked by Tai and Matt, winked, and sat in her seat.
"I now present to you, the graduating class of 2008!" The principal announced. Green caps went flying into the air, and immediately afterward, silly string flew through the skies. Tai made his way to Sora, aiming the orange substance as he walked. Sora turned to Tai and fired a pink line of sticky silly string into his dark brown hair.
"Oh no, you did NOT just shoot the hair!" Tai cried, shooting Sora's bright auburn hair with his orange string. After a short battle, which Sora eventually won, Tai walked with her and Matt out of the gym and toward their cars, where they shucked their gowns and screamed happily.
"Finally! Out of that stupid hole in the ground!" Matt cried.
"It wasn't that bad." Sora scolded. She smiled at Tai, who was laying on the hood of his car, a happy grin plastered to his face.
"It's finally over." Tai said, though secretly he wanted it to last forever. Matt jumped on Tai as Sora laughed. They got into their cars and sped off toward Tai's house, where they were leaving his and Sora's vehicles so they could party together and not drive three things.
'I wonder what's going to happen now. . .it was so cool in high school. . .this is all going to be different. . .' Tai thought as he drove to his home. Instantly, flashbacks exploded into his mind.
**Flash** Tai making the Varsity soccer team as a Freshman, and Sora congratulating him.
**Flash** Tai taking Mimi to Homecoming when he was a Sophomore.
**Flash** Winning the State title his Sophomore year. He made the winning goal in overtime.
**Flash** Junior Prom with Sora, and the huge fight they had during the dance. They didn't talk for a month afterward. She started dating Matt.
**Flash** Senior year. (*Need I say more?*)
**Flash** Senior Prom and a girl named Kelly who was the most gorgeous girl Tai had ever met at the time. Too bad she cheated on him, and he ended up going alone. . .
**Flash** Late night meetings with members of his class after they were released from school about two weeks before Graduation.
**Flash** Sora's face as she received her diploma. . .
Tai thought about Sora, then turned into his driveway. He shook off the images in his head, and got out of the car. A lot of his memories had been with Sora.
'I wonder why she and I never got together. . .' Tai thought as he waited patiently for his friends. Matt pulled in next, followed closely by Sora. Tai looked at her and felt himself lose himself in her clear rusty eyes. Matt put his hands over Tai's eyes, making him snap out of his daze.
"Dude, you ready to go par-tay?" Matt yelled. Sora jumped up and down cheerfully.
"You bet!" She cried, grabbing Tai's arm as they got into Matt's car and drove off. From the front passenger seat, Tai acted into the scenes around him, but was inwardly thinking about his thoughts of Sora. Could there be something there besides friendship? Shrugging it off, Tai tried to forget he had ever thought of Sora in that way as Matt's car cruised through the evening.
**And there ya have it. Tai, Matt and Sora have graduated high school! Does tai have feelings for Sora? If so, would Sora reciprocate those feelings, or is she not interested? There's a whole long summer ahead, so watch for future chapters, and don't forget to send out a tiny little review for me! Five gets chapter two!**
