Disclaimer- Well if you don't know this by now- that's sad. Kate no owns Digimon. Neither does anyone else who writes these lovely fan fics- otherwise they would have been actual episodes. I get sick of doing disclaimers for all the chapters- so this one covers all of my fic! I don't own the characters- sorry….
This one is kinda dark- but interesting. So enjoy!

C1
It was two months from graduation. And the anticipation for the big Senior Dance was growing. Tai and Sora had officially been a couple for a few months now, but they tried to keep it a secret as long as they could. The whole Matt situation was a tense one. He and Sora had only been dating a month or two, before they decided to just stay friends. Tai saw his opportunity and finally had taken it. He had always hoped she felt the same way, but he wasn't sure. But now, he knew. They were soul mates for life.
The bell rang as Sora walked to last period class on Friday. A week from today was the big senior dance in the school's gym- she couldn't wait. 'Chemistry.' she thought. 'I hate chemistry lab.' It was the only thing that stood between her and her weekend.
She took her usual seat at a lab table. Tai was home sick that day and she couldn't wait to go and play nurse to her poor Taichi.
"All right class, count off by threes. We are going to be experimenting with the formula H20 today." The class numbered off, like the teacher instructed. Sora was a 'three.' She waited at her seat for someone to shout 'three' and pick a lab table.
"Three?" A voice asked behind her, she turned around.
"Ya, I'm a three." She said smiling. She saw it was Todd, one of her classmates. He had never really talked to Sora that much, he stuck mostly to himself and his studies. "Hi. Todd right?" She was kind of embarrassed that she didn't remember his name.
"Yes. How'd you know my name?" He said as he sat down and smiled.
"We've been classmates since the 7th grade. What kind of person would I be if I didn't know your name?" She asked as she gave him a friendly wink.
She held up three fingers. "Over here by Todd and me." She motioned to two others.
'Todd and me,' those words ran through Todd's head. He had always had a crush on her, and was in most of her classes. However they hardly spoke, because of that loud-mouthed boy she was usually with. But today was different. Fate, he thought, had brought them together.
"Ok now class, everyone put on your safety goggles and aprons." The teacher instructed.
Sora reached into her drawer and distributed the 'fashionable' apparel.
"I hate these things." She said having trouble tying the apron around her back. "Stupid strings are not long enough."
"Here let me help." Todd said as he took the strings and tied a perfect knot.
"Thanks Todd." She said. He blushed.
"All right now." The teacher continued as he handed out supplies and instructions. The two other people in Sora's group weren't helping. It was only Todd and her. They made small talk as they set up their equipment. Todd was in heaven. Not only was she talking to him, but also she was actually intelligent. 'She's perfect.' Todd thought.
"Ok?" Sora said scratching her head, "How do we turn this in?" She was trying to light the Bunsen burner.
"Here, you light the match and I'll turn on the gas." Todd instructed her. Sora light the match and 'poof.'
"Oh, I'm so sorry." He had turned on the gas to high and they had a blazing fire. Sora's fingers were toasted a little.
"Oh don't worry about it." She started to laugh. Todd turned the gas down. "That's man 0 points, bunson burner 1" She chuckled. Todd began to laugh as well. 'She's so beautiful when she laughs.' He thought.
They worked together for the rest of the hour. Their group was one of the only groups to successfully create water.
"That was fun." Sora commented as they started to clean up their lab station.
"Yes, we make a good team." Todd smiled as Sora gave him a grin and nodded her head.
"Now class." The teacher started. "You will need to get together w/ two others from the class and create a project to present in class next Thursday. It needs to be three typed pages and you must teach the class about your topic." The class gave a depressed sigh.
"There goes my weekend." Sora laughed.
"Hey, Sora." Todd said quickly. "Would you want to.. Be in my group?"
"Sure, who else is in it?"
"Well, just you and me right now."
"Ok. Hey could we have Tai in our group too. He's home sick today."
Todd's heart sank. Not him he thought. "Um, ok." He said. He then thought that as long as he was with Sora, it would be fine, plus it would be a perfect time to impress her w/ his knowledge, and Tai's lack of it {;)}
"Sora." The teacher asked. "Who is in your group?"
"Oh, Todd and I, then we thought we'd include Tai, since he's out sick today."
"OK, your topic is the formula CO."
'CO' she thought. "Oh, duh! Carbon Monoxide." She laughed at her stupidity. "I think I need to study my periodic table some more."
"I can help you if you want." Todd offered.
"Thanks," she smiled. "Oh here's my number, can you give me yours? That way I can give you a call later tonight, when I see how sickie is. We can plan when we can get together."
Todd wrote his number in her little book of phone numbers. He was excited, over such a small thrill.
"Thanks." Sora said as the final bell ran. "Finally this day is over!" She sighed.
"Long day?" Todd asked as he walked Sora to her locker.
"Yes, I get to carry home ten tons of books." She opened her locker, it was neatly arranged a planner hung on her door. "Leave it to Tai to pick the busiest day o school to be sick. I've got five books to bring home for him on top of my own." She said as she stacked the books into her backpack. "Oh well it builds muscle." She closed her locker.
"I can help you if you want." He offered again.
"Oh you are so sweet, but it would be way out of your way. You live on the South side of town right?'
He nodded. "I don't mind."
"Are you sure? You Don't have to.."
"No I insist." He grabbed the books she held in her hands. "I just need to stop off at my locker." he showed her the way. His locker was immaculate. Books were organized and awards hung perfectly on the door.
"Wow." She said. "You play soccer too?" She pointed to a ball on the top shelf.
"Yep." He nodded.
"So do I." She was excited. "We should play some time."
"Sure," he said as he tossed her the ball. "But I have to warn you I'm not that good."
"Well, in exchange for some chemistry lessons, how about I teach you some moves?"
"I'd love to." He said as he shut his locker.
They walked out of school. All the way to Sora's house they talked, as Sora dribbled the ball and hit it on her head. 'She is great' Todd thought.
Before long they had reached Sora's apartment complex.
"Do you want a drink of water or something?" She offered politely was she opened her door.
"Sure, that would be nice." He said as he entered after her.
"Hum, we have lemonade, pop, water or juice. Your choice."
"How about some lemonade."
Sora poured him a glass and one for herself.
"I have to warn you. My mom makes it strong."
"I like it that way. "He gulped down the whole glass. And began to look at the stunning apartment. So vivid and colorful he thought. Sora walked into the living room and opened the shades letting the light enter the room. "Oh well I better get going." He said picking up his ball. "My mother will wonder where I am."
"Well thanks for helping me w/those books."
"Ya, no problem. I'll talk to you later then. Bye." he waved and then left the apartment.
He was beaming with happiness. He had just spent the last hour and a half with Sora, the girl of his dreams. He rushed home.
