Thank you too all of you who reviewed my last chapter!!!!!! Sorry for the long wait, I was seeing how many reviews I would get before posting this chapter, I'm hoping too get sixty or more reviews but if I don't it doesn't bother me
For those of you who are wondering Matt, Mimi, Tai and Sora are all graduating this year, Mimi skipped grade seven so that's why she's younger than the rest I just thought I should explain that. Anyway enough of me here's chapter 8!! Fuchsia ^_~
Down
Mimi's POV
Matt stared downcast at me then began the walk towards his car, I followed closely behind him. I glanced back to where I had left Michael he had hurt look on his face but it came and went as soon as he noticed me staring. The car ride home too my house was silent at first. "I know where I belong Matt and it's not with Michael," I announced breaking the silence. Matt's icy eyes never left the road, nor did they widen, he had them narrowed since Michael beat him in the race. "I also know that these past few days I've realized that I could never go back too Michael and that I know Michael would never have done some of the things that you have done for me," I explained turning away, this was harder that I had thought my eyes were begging too water. "And I know you don't want too hear me anymore so I'll just leave you alone," I cried silently. We stopped at a stoplight and Matt's eyes focused on me. "I am not mad at you Mimi, I am mad at Michael I don't see how this could be your fault. Michael came back without warning and he brought back old feelings that you might have had for him. I don't want too loose you Mimi you're the first girl that denied me when I asked you out, you're also the only one who knows me without asking questions and you see the light in me that normally other people wouldn't. I know this is a lot for you too be hearing but never think that I'm mad at you, because I never will be." He explained, his eyes widened a little and the corners of his lips slightly curved up wards. Soon after we approached my house. Matt came in with me just to check if Jyoe was there, we walked inside and noticed that the lights in my house would not turn on Matt held onto my hand tightly as we walked back outside. "Something isn't right," He whispered too me as we stood on the porch. "Your house is pitch black and the lights are out, like some bad horror movie," he joked. "Don't even joke about that those kind of movies scare me!" I shuddered. "Well let's go get a flash light from my car and we'll go see what the problem is." Explained Matt while he walked back too his car. He walked back and I stood frozen, now this was like a creepy horror movie. "Matt how about we go too your house tonight, we can come back in the morning and check it out," I suggested. "You scared?" He questioned while raising his eyebrows. "Matt I'm not going too lie too you I'm terrified of the dark!" I whispered sharply while grabbing his hand. "Ok then we can head over too Blake's place for the night if you're that frightened," He said while taking my hand in his.
Just as we were leaving a gunshot was heard from my house the bullet shattered through the glass and it just missed Matt's head. Matt through me behind him as he turned too face his attacker. "Ishida," the voice scowled. "What do you want?" Asked Matt fearlessly. "Rumors are going around that you won't be at Speed this year," the voice snickered. (A/N: Ok for all of you who are confused about what "Speed" is it's like "Race Wars" from Fast and the Furious. ^_~) "I want you too be there," explained the voice calmly "The rumors are true I'm not going this year, due to the events of last year," he scowled. The voice let out a laugh. "What events Ishida? Are you making up excuses now? Or are you afraid Michael will be there too?" Matt was silent for a moment but his icy glare had returned. "I'm not afraid of Michael, and I'm not making up excuses, you were there too and you remember what happened well I'm sure of it;" snapped Matt. "I do remember what happened we raced and you won," Laughed the voice, I didn't understand what they were talking about or who the voice was. "Yes I won, but you couldn't accept the fact that I had won you had too claim your revenge! You put me in intensive care for three months by running me over!" Yelled Matt while grabbing my hand and pulling me too his car. The drive too Blake's was silent Matt didn't say anything but his icy eyes were fixated on something it was like when he was in the hospital when his eyes had lost their shine and they were dull and weak looking. We walked into Blake's house; Blake was sitting reading the Japan times. Matt stormed up the stairs to a vacant bedroom and slammed the door. I walked over too Blake and sat beside him, he put aside his newspaper and faced me. "What happened with Matt? Is he still mad about loosing his title?" Questioned Blake. "No someone was at my house questioning Matt about something called Speed and Matt took it personally and became very upset about it," I explained. "What happened during Speed last year?"
"Well you might have too be a little more specific because lot's of things happened during Speed last year too Matt," stated Blake. "Well all I know is that who ever the guy was he lost too Matt then ran him over with his car after the race," I said. "Izzy," breathed Blake. "Who is Izzy?" I questioned. "Izzy is one of Jyoe's gang members, and he hates Matt even more than Jyoe does," explained Blake. "Why? What did Matt do?" I questioned. "Matt took over his title, the day Matt was in that 'street race' even though he didn't know it, he had beaten the best and fastest street racer in town, of course later on he found out that he had won the title of 'the champ'." Told Blake. "So this guy ran him down because he lost against Matt?" I said in more of a statement than a question. "Sort of, Matt beat Izzy for the fourth time during Speed and in the rules of Speed you loose too the same person more than three times and the person gets your car. But instead of giving Matt his car right then and there he gave him the car after by running him over." Sighed Blake. "That's awful," I explained staring out the window. "Something is still bothering me how did Izzy know Matt and I were going too my house, not to mention how did he know where I live?"
"Don't worry he's in Jyoe's Gang Jyoe would have got him into your house, I heard about the other night" yawned Blake. "Don't worry!? That creeps me out even more!" I shouted at the thought of Jyoe being able too get into my house at anytime. "Ok I've decided that I'm going too go too Speed this year, and I know what you're thinking and you're wrong it's not because of what Izzy said it's because of my own morals. Besides my other reason is if Michael stays for Speed I'll have another chance at beating him." Matt cut off my conversation with Blake. "That's great man I can't wait too head up there, I'm actually leaving to go up there tomorrow, but I guess you still have school hey? I'll meet you up there in a couple of days alright?" Said Blake. "Yeah see you there I'll bring my Honda," added Matt. "What about you Mimi are you coming up too Speed with Matt too, I guarantee you'll have a blast," explained Blake. "I don't know my parents won't be back until next weekend so why not that is if Matt will bring me, " a smirk crossed Matt's face as he stared at me. "But Mimi you don't date 'filthy street racers' I don't think I should bring you," flirted Matt. "Oh but don't you remember? I've reconsidered," I laughed while playing with the chain around Matt's neck. "I take it you're in then," announced Blake. "Great well I need too go get some sleep before tomorrow I see you two in the morning,"
Blake stood up and headed up the stairs too one of the bedrooms. Matt took my hand and lead me up too the room he was in. I laid on the bed beside Matt as he kissed my lips softly, I looked back into his eyes they had finally relaxed and softened. He lay back down beside me and returned my gaze. I often wonder what his eyes looked like before he met me, I remember when I fist saw him, his eyes were cold and hard and as I have described them before they were icy. I remember all the whispers I heard that day from a group of girls about him and me. "I heard he's been in jail for over a year!" I heard one of the girl's say. "Why does he waste his time with that girl she doesn't date 'filthy street racers'" She laughed. "Why does Matt even bother? She just ignores him anyway she's a book worm, gee people from New York are sure strange." I heard a girl whisper too another girl. "Look at all those cute guys around her and she doesn't even pay attention what's her problem, and she even turned down Matt Ishida she's definitely got a problem I'd give up my boyfriend any day too have a date with him." Smiled another girl too the rest of the group. It's funny how they don't think that I can hear even through I'm right beside them. The sad truth is that most of the stuff they said was my outside appearance and too people who don't know me very well. I look like a bookworm at school and I gave myself the reputation of the girl who doesn't date 'filthy street racers' and I did turn down every guy who asked me out on a date. I wonder what they are going too say tomorrow when they see me with Matt, I could care less. "Mimi is something on your mind?" Questioned Matt sitting up. "No," I said sitting up too, too face him. I moved over closer too him and leaned my head on his chest as I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Somewhere else….
"So you'll bring Mimi too me if I give you the papers too my car?" Questioned the voice. "That's all it will cost you, come on it's the best deal you'll find anywhere, besides we're old friends this should be the easiest choice you've ever made. Anyway if you want this girl that bad I'm the only one who won't use violence too get her I have much more productive ways." Explained the other voice. "Ok consider it done; but you're being warned now you will not get anything if Mimi is hurt in anyway." Threatened the first voice. "She won't be I promise," Replied the second voice.
Mimi's POV
"Oh my goodness! School starts in an hour, Matt get up, get up Matt!" I shouted at him while shoving his shoulder and his chest. It had been a long weekend and now Matt and I had too returned too school. I began too look as too wear I had put my clothing, I turned too see Matt still asleep I laughed and bent down close too his ear seductively, I saw a smile creep onto Matt's face. "Matt If you don't get up now I'm leaving you for good!!" I yelled while trying too hold in my laughter. Matt opened one eye and slightly lifted his head. "You're not serious are you?" He questioned groggily. "Well I might be if you don't get up." I turned my head away and covered my mouth how was I supposed too be serious when he looked so funny in the morning. "I'm up so do you still want too leave me?" Questioned Matt while attaching his arms around my waist and pulling me down too the bed. He raised himself above me so he was looking downcast too me. "No I don't think I will anymore," I laughed while pushing him over and running into the bathroom first. "That's not fare Mimi!" I heard him yell from the bedroom. "How can you be so selfish? Everyone knows the girl gets the bathroom before the guy!" I shouted while letting the hot water pour from the shower. I then changed into my clothing and then began too put my make-up on. "You know not every girl takes six hours in the bathroom and we only have thirty five minutes too get too school." Announced Matt as he walked into the bathroom. "Fine you can have it I'm done anyway, and it wasn't six hours it was only twenty five minutes." I laughed. I went downstairs too have breakfast, when I walked into the kitchen Blake had obviously already left for Speed because there was no sign of him. "Now where are the cups and plates." I said too myself while walking around the kitchen I opened three cupboards until I finally found the china and silverware. I made myself some eggs and I had a glass of orange juice as Matt strolled in. "I've already eaten. We better be going soon if you want too make it on time," He yawned. "You mean you actually want too go too class on time?" I coughed. "No but I assume you do so let's go." He said while grabbing my empty plate and glass and throwing it into the dishwasher. We walked outside and got into his BMW and headed too school. When we walked in the school Matt placed his arm around my waist and I saw the girls who had been saying all that stuff about me the days before. I heard them whispering among themselves once again. "I knew she would end up going out with him again," one of them giggled. "I saw them come too the street races together last night one of the girls almost slapped her and then this gorgeous guy stopped her hand." Gossiped the other girl. "I heard the guy was a past boyfriend named Michael." Whispered another. How could they gossip about me like that and think I wasn't listening I was definitely the talk of the school for the whole day, well Matt, Michael and I, I should say were the talk of the school. "Hey Mimi! Come sit with us!" Shouted one of the gossiping girls sitting at a table. "Oh all right," I said, they probably had a million questions too ask me. "I saw you with Matt the other night street racing." She smiled. "O yeah? I didn't see you," I lied I had seen her but I avoided her gaze while I was there. "Yeah who was that guy we saw talking too Matt, Jyoe and you?" She questioned. I knew this question was coming and I wasn't sure if I really wanted too answer it. "Oh him? He was my boyfriend in New York." I explained shyly. "Oh, what's he doing here in Japan?" Asked another girl curiously at the table. "Oh he just came too see the sights of Japan." I lied once more, I don't like too lie but when they force so many questions that I don't want too answer I just can't help it. "Well it was nice talking too you Mimi, oh and do me a favor if that Michael guy is in town again give him my number. Oh and let's do lunch tomorrow" giggled the girl as her and her friends stood up and walked away, how was I supposed too give him her number I didn't even know her name and like I really wanted too do lunch with her. "Hey Mimi I saw you with Ishida the other night, I thought you didn't date 'filthy street racers'." Sneered a boy from behind me; this was not a good situation. "I decided too give him a chance," I explained while quickening my pace. The boy and a few of his friends cut me off and began asking me more questions. "Why didn't you give me a chance? I'm a good guy." He explained. "I'm sure you are I'm just not interested though I'm sorry." I started backing away when he grabbed my arm. I turned too run when I bumped into Matt; I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him as a tear streamed down my face. Matt faced the group of guys. "Is there a problem?" asked Matt too the guys. "Yeah Ishida with you, I've asked out six girls in the last week and they all say they're staying single incase you decide too call I'm really getting tired of it, we all are." Threatened the boy. Matt's face turned into a scowl. "It's not my fault you all are so full of yourselves that you go and ask out all the girls who are too good for you," snapped Matt. "You got a lot of nerve Ishida too bad it's going too cost you a few punches from us." Explained one of the guys rolling up his sleeves on his shirt. Matt smiled as Tai and six other guys stood behind Matt out numbering the group in front of me they mumbled something to themselves and turned around and left. I felt eyes fixed on me and I turned too see the gossip group of girls standing on the side watching us they began whisper among themselves again only this time I couldn't hear the things they were saying.
The next class I had was science; I took the seat beside Matt and watched as my teacher began her boring lesson on Physics. Matt leaned over too me and placed a note into my hand it said…..
Dear Mimi
What is it with those guys and you? And what about that group of girls I saw you sitting with earlier? I thought you didn't like them oh well it doesn't matter, anyway you're still coming up to Speed with us right?
Love Matt
I took out my pen and wrote in return….
Dearest Matty (haha aww sounds cute)
Some of those guys asked me out the other day, I didn't want to and he got really upset about it and took it personally. Oh and those girls I don't know what was up with them they had ignored me since I first came here but this morning they asked me too go sit with them, I think it's because I'm now dating you. Oh and Of course I'm still coming with you too Speed who all is coming anyway?
Love Mimi
Matt quickly scribbled something onto the piece of paper and threw it on my desk before the teacher turned back around.
Dearest Meani (haha just joking)
Do you mean who's driving? Well we're taking my car and Shane's taking his car, I'm taking Sora, Tai and you. Shane is taking T.K, T.K's girlfriend (Tai's little sister Kari) and Brandy Shane's girlfriend. And if you're wondering why I'm not taking T.K it's because he's not letting me meet Tai's little sister until we get there, sounds crazy but that's T.K for you, haha joking.
Love Matt
I smiled over at Matt and I faced the teacher who was looking straight at us. "Mimi and Ishida I hope you two aren't passing notes because you know what I do when I catch teenagers passing notes, I read them out load." She bellowed. My face turned scarlet if she read those notes out in front of the class Matt and I would be so embarrassed. She eyed us for about a minute then finally gave up and returned too teaching the class Matt and I let out a huge sigh. I looked in front of Matt too see Tai laughing madly at us, he had seen us passing notes. He took his pen and made a huge heart on his hand and showed it too us then he puckered his lips and made kissing sounds until Matt kicked his chair and made him fall out of it. "Grow up," whispered Matt too Tai. The class laughed and the teacher ignored us and kept teaching the class. "Only fifty two days until school gets out." She kept repeating too herself.
Who are the guys going too kidnap Mimi?? What happened too Michael?? Will Matt win the race against Izzy at Speed?? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter. Please review my chapter, and I would really like to get sixty or more reviews before I post the next chapter but if I don't I'll still post it so don't worry. Oh and sorry if there are any grammar and spelling errors. Fuchsia ^_
