Disclaimer: I do not own TK and Kari, or any other Digimon characters whom
appear in this chapter. Thought there are some OC's which are totally mine.
I do not make any profit of this, and I have no money, so please don't sue

A/N: Kari and TK are in high school, they are both 16.5. I have no idea how the Japanese school system works and this story will follow the American one. Have fun and please review.
Chapter 1
"There's something wrong with my jelly." Kari said, looking suspiciously at her desert, trying not to become sick.
"You mean, beside the fact that it's green?" Her friend Jenna asked, frowning, from behind Kari.
"It's apple jelly, it's supposed to be green." Kari answered, still starring at the lump on her tray. "I think there's something in it."
"Really, Kari." Jenna protested. "How can you worry about your jelly when today's the day when the list of who gets to go on the delegation to Italy is published?"
"No, there's something in it." Kari insisted. "See for yourself."
Jenna sighed but took a fork and gently stabbed the green lump.
"What's the problem, ladies?" The girls heard a noise behind them and turned around to face Davis.
Jenna smiled slyly at Kari. "Here's you knight in shining armour, he can help you."
Kari scowled, but handed Davis her jelly. "There's something in it."
Davis lowered his head and looked at the jelly, obviously making an effort to see what it is that Kari saw in there. Finally his eyes relaxed. "Nothing in it." He said joyfully. "But if you're worried…" He took another jelly and put it on her tray, taking the one she refused to eat himself. "You can have another one. See ya later, Kari, Jenna." And he went away sitting down at one of tables in the middle of the cafeteria.
Kari frowned. "I think there's a fly in there." She turned to Jenna. "Do you think he'll eat it?"
Jenna shrugged. "Of course he will, Davis would eat anything you give him, including insects. He's an insect himself, anyway, I think…A leech is an insect?"
"Jenna!" Kari protested, but smiled anyhow.
Jenna scowled. "I can't understand how you date him." She said heading to the table Davis sat at. "He's such a creep. He's good looking, but a good looking creep."
Kari giggled. "Who should I date, then?"
Jenna bit her lip for a second, but then smiled. "I'd say Brad, but he's mine and Toni is dating someone from another highschool, so…"
Kari smiled at her friend. "Yes? I'm listening, Jenna."
Jenna grinned ."TK Takaishi. He's cute, he's handsome, he's popular, he's nice and smart and…"
"No." Kari cutout Jenna. "No way, TK…" She sighed deeply. "He want's nothing to do with me."
Jenna looked at her curiously. "What do you mean, Kari? You…"
"I don't want to talk about it." Kari said coldly, but then tried to smile. "What about the list which is going to be published, who do you think is going to be on it?"
Jenna glowed. "Oh lots, cheerleaders and basketball players…"
And Jenna kept talking and talking, but Kari stopped listening. Even after they sat by the table with all their friends Kari kept looking at another direction. By another table in the corner of the cafeteria TK was laughing at some joke Cody probably said and Ken was smiling as well. She kept staring at TK's handsome face as he smiled and talked before leaving the cafeteria. Then Davis put a hand around her shoulders and she relaxed into his embrace, talking to everyone about how much fun the delegation must be, but she still thought of TK in the back of her mind.
TK struggled threw the crowd of students in the hall, trying to get to his locker.
"Hey, TK!" He heard a voice behind and turned around to face Toni Petoimi, a fellow player from his basketball team.
"Hey, Toni!" He answered shouting over the crowd. "What's up?"
"Fine!" Toni shouted back. "Can't complain, you saw the delegation list?"
"Nope." TK smiled. "I'll be there in a minute." He raised his books, so Toni would see them. "Need to put these in my locker first."
"See you there!" Toni shouted as he turned to the hall heading to the entrance.
TK finally managed to get to his locker and put his books away, taking from his locker his bag, which made a little noise as TK moved it.
"Shhh!" TK whispered to it.
"TK!" a voice answered enthusiastically.
"Patamon!" TK whispered urgently. "Be quiet!" He closed the locker only to find a tall figure leaning on the next locker.
"You know, talking to objects is the first sigh of insanity." Ken smiled at his friend as they both started walking to the school entrance.
TK raised an eyebrow. "Is it? I thought that wanting world domination is the first sign of insanity."
Ken flinched, but kept smiling. "It's the last, actually."
TK sighed and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Ken. That was mean."
Ken shrugged. "That's okay, TK, I've dealt with it by now."
"No, I really am Sorry, Ken." TK insisted. "I had no reason to…" He sighed. "It's the nerves."
Ken snorted. "What nerves? You're obviously will be in the delegation, TK, we wouldn't have had a reasonable basketball team without you."
TK blushed slightly. "I know… I'm nervous as to will you go."
Ken stared at him. "Of course I won't." He said. "There's a soccer game in a week, no one will let me miss that."
TK sighed. "But it could be canceled…"
Ken smiled comfortingly. "Sorry, don't think it will. Why do you want me there anyway?"
"Ehm…" TK moved uncomfortably. "I don't want to be alone."
Ken starred at him. "Meaning?"
TK shrugged and started walking faster towards the entrance. "I don't know anyone there."
Ken run to keep up with TK. "It's the whole basketball team, TK!" You know everyone there.
TK sighed heavily. "Not really. I've never had a real talk with any of them."
Ken smiled. "TK, don't take me wrong, but your not really the heart-to- heart-talks kind of guy. What real talk were you expecting?"
TK shrugged again. "Something longer than ten minutes."
They stopped two steps from a bunch of kids crowding around a board that hang near the entrance.
"You go and look." TK said, looking apprehensively at the crowd. "I'll stay here and wait up for you."
"Fine by me." Ken walked to the board, trying to get a look at the least that hang there.
"Hey, TK!" TK was surprised to see a group of a few fellow players of the basketball team. "Saw your name?"
TK smiled. "Nah, I'm kind of afraid to get crushed there, my friend went looking though."
"Why does he need to look anyway?" Asked Brad smiling. "It's obvious he's coming."
"Yeah." Agreed Toni. "But you're written there, if you worry, anyway." He winked to TK. "First name on the list."
"Hey, Brad!" There was a feminine voice from the entrance doors. "You coming or not?" TK turned around to see Jenna and Kari standing there, leaning at the doors.
"A Minute!" Brad shouted back to his girlfriend, and then looked at TK. "Hey, TK, some of us are going somewhere to eat ice cream and plan the unofficial activities of the delegation, want to going us?"
TK looked towards the board looking for Ken. "Ehm… I don't think so, guys, I was planning to go to a friend…"
"TK!" He turned around to see Ken hugging Yolie around the waist. "Change of plans." He smiled at him. "I'm not on the list, by the way. Bye!"
"Yeah, Bye…" TK said weakly.
"You have no plans now, do you?" Smiled Toni, putting a hand around TK shoulder friendly and walking with him out of the school. "We're going to have a blast!"
TK managed to catch a glimpse of Kari as she too walked out of school with the rest of the bunch who followed them. She was talking to her friend Jenna and Brad, smiling and laughing, but for a moment he was sure she looked back at him.
He sighed quietly to himself, admitting to himself that it was going to be a long trip and there would be no one there to stop him from being a total fool.
