Sora brought over Tai's books an hour later. She found him lying on his living room couch, still in his PJ's.
"Well, I see someone had a good day." She said as Kari let her in. She dropped the load of books down near Tai.
"Oh my gosh. Sora. You didn't carry these all the way here? Did you?" Tai asked.
"Oh no. Todd helped me." She said.
"Todd?'"
"Yes, our classmate, you know neatly combed brown hair, quiet.." She continued to describe him, but Tai had no clue who she was talking about. She was getting frustrated. "The one who is usually reading at lunch."
Oh, that guy." Tai said finally. "I didn't know his name was Todd."
"He's only been in your class since 7th grade." She hit him over the head with a stack of papers and smiled.
"Sorry."
"Gee Tai," Kari said. "Looks like you have some competition." She giggled.
"No," Sora said blushing. "We were only partners in Chem lab today. Oh and that reminds me, all three of us are working on a project together. When would it be best for Mr. Sickie to get together and work?" He grabbed her and pulled her on top of him.
"When ever it works for you." He began kissing her.
"Hey, now. I don't want to get your germs." She said coyly.
"That's not all you'll catch." He winked at her and continued to hold her.
"Ok, I think that's enough excitement for one day." Sora giggled as she got up.
"Ah.." Tai remarked "don't you want to make me all better?" He pretended to cough.
"I your dreams." She winked.
"Well then I'm going to sleep." Tai pretended to drift off into sleep. Sora hit him over the head again.
"So how abut tomorrow? Noonish?" She said back to business. "This is a huge project and it's due Thursday."
"Ah, you're no fun. We have all week to do it."
"No, Todd won't appreciate your procrastination. He's the type to get things done."
"So, I see. Ok," he sighed. "Tomorrow it is."
"Great, I'm going to use your phone and give him a call." She opened her address book and found his number.
"Oh no Tai! He's even in 'the' book." Kari joked. Sora dialed the number.
"Hello Yamagwa residence." A woman's voice said.
"Hello, is Todd there by any chance ma'am?"
"Oh you must be Sora." She said kindly.
"Yes, I am."
"Todd told me all about the project dear."
"Oh, ok."
"Just a second, here he is."
"Hi!" Todd said. "Sorry about that, I don't get many phone calls from girls and my mom sort of goes weird."
"Oh no problem. She sounds nice. Ok, I talked with Mr. Sickie here. He played Hooky, the little brat." She said as she looked at Tai.
"Oh well, it's not good to do that, he is putting his education in jeopardy by doing that."
"You know that's exactly what I said." She yelled at Tai. "See Todd agrees with me that you are only hurting yourself." Tai stuck out his tongue. Sora started to giggle. "Sorry about that. It's not that often that I get to win w/ him."
"I bet." Todd replied.
"So does tomorrow work? Noonish?"
"Sure. Where should we meet?"
"Um… well you know where I live, if it wouldn't be much trouble…"
"No, I'd love to came over. Your house is so nice w/ all the flowers."
Ya, my mom is a florist, so it works out well."
"Ok, so is there anything I should bring?"
"Well, I have a computer in my room, so we can use that. And well, I don't think so. Just bring ideas."
"OK, well I'll see you there. Have a good night."
"You are so sweet. Thanks - you too, bye." She hung up the phone.
"Tai's getting replaced." Kari chanted over and over. Tai was getting mad or at least jealous. Kari ran out of the room as Tai stood up on the couch steaming.
Sora walked over to him and pulled him down. He had his head in her lap looking up at her and she was stroking his hair. Even when he was sick, it still stood straight up. He was calming down now.
"I think it's kind of cute, that you're jealous." She looked down at him. "But Tai, what kind of person would I be to throw away this?" She leaned over and kissed him. Tai was literally melting in her hands. He sighed. "I should probably let you get some sleep." She was about to get up.
"No, I like having you here. I'm feeling better now that you are here." He got up and began to passionately kiss her. He held her tight and caressed her neck.
