~chapter seven: Regret-and Find Another
That was it. In a week's time Sora and Tai became....sweethearts. Yup-Sora accepted him. She became his.girlfriend. But why?
As expected, Matt became indifferent to Tai and even to Sora. He never spoke to her since the time she denied him. He loved Sora dearly. But now he's paying more attention to his lady fans than to her. But even though Sora already accepted Tai, conflicts still came within her.
"Tai, why don't we go out on a date tonight, darling?" Sora told her BF one Wednesday morning, but her heart wasn't in it-especially the "darling" part. "Sure," Tai replied, giving her a smooch on the cheek. "How 'bout at that classy restaurant across the school?" Sora suggested. "Sure, why not? I'll pick you up tonight at seven," Tai replied. Sora smiled-but she wasn't that great about the feeling.
(A/N: I really don't like this part. Bleh! Taiora stuff stinks. Well, I'll just wait till the ending.) *
Okay, what's keeping Tai so long? It's twenty minutes past seven already! Sora wondered to herself in her room, looking at her watch.
Suddenly, her mom called her, "Sora! Phone! It's Tai!" "Coming mom!" Sora replied and hurriedly went to the living room.
"Hello Tai! What's keeping you?"
"Uh, Sora, I can't be there to pick you up."
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, I have to go to a party at eight. I have to be there."
"So, what's this party about? More important than our date?"
"Uh, I could say maybe. I was invited by one of the guys from the soccer team. Yeah, and if I don't go there, they'll-"
"Fine! Go to your friend's party! You're saying he's more important than me! I'm your girlfriend! That means I have to stay here and rot as my boyfriend is going to a party though he knows we have a date!"
"Sora, I-"
"Goodbye!"
The line went dead cold.
"What was it Sora?" her mom asked after Sora practically banged down the receiver.
"Nothing mom, just that I'm not going out tonight. It's cancelled," Sora answered.
Great, now he's paying more attention to this friend of his than he does to me. Why'd he ever have to be my boyfriend? Now I'm beginning to think what did I really see in Tai? He used to be more sensitive when we were just friends, but now he's taking advantage of me! ^~^
"What the heck? He didn't even notice I passed by!" Sora said to herself. Tai was in the corridors, talking to the soccer guy who threw a party, when Sora passed by him-and he was barely aware his girlfriend passed by. "How insensitive!" She exclaimed. She never knew Tai could be inconsiderate.
Then Matt walked by.
Sora's heart thumped wildly. She began to forget about Tai and thought of how cuter and more caring Matt was than Tai.
Matt, I shouldn't have hurt you. I can't help it but I made a regrettable decision-I think.
She smiled at Matt. He smiled at Sora. Both began to stare at each other for awhile. Matt forgot about his indifference to Sora. Sora forgot of her despair at Tai.
But Tai approached them and walked Sora away-well, practically dragging her away. Sora scowled.
Matt's smile faded. He felt a tinge of jealousy as he saw Sora in Tai's arm. Does he really have to do such an insensitive thing? Bah, what are you thinking Ishida? Sora hurt you but you're still thinking of her. But I can't help it! Matt thought to himself. ^~^
"What? Why can't you come with me this time?" Sora desperately asked Tai on a quiet Tuesday noontime. She told him to go with her to the mall and watch movies and stuff.
"I have to accompany Joe and Izzy to meet Mimi at the airport," Tai explained.
"But they're already there! Why'd you have to go with them?" Sora complained.
"They have to have me help them carry her luggage. They said she told them she brought at least six big boxes. Nobody else was available, so I volunteered."
"Then tell them you're not available already! Can't you give me priority?"
"Now, I can't. I committed myself to them already."
"Can't you commit yourself to me?"
"......."
"Fine! Go ahead! I'm only second-class in your life now. No wait, third- class!" Sora retorted. Then she walked out of the classroom.
(A/N: You go girl!)
* Insensitive. Disorganized. Inconsiderate. Weird priorities. I'm his girlfriend but he won't care for me that much. Why'd I choose him? I should've chosen Matt! Sora thought to herself as she walked away from the classroom along the silent, empty corridor.
Coincidentally, Matt passed by the hallway. Sora spotted him, and again, her heart throbbed violently. It was just unexplainable.
Matt looked at Sora. He could see the frustration in her face.
For the first time in weeks, Matt spoke to her nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
Sora looked up to him and heard the voice she had been longing to hear-the one she wanted him to speak to her.
"I need help," were the first words Sora could say. Matt nodded and walked her outside to the garden.
* There they were-on the same spot where they shared their first kiss. Sora reminisced it and felt the pleasure again.
"What do you want me to help you about" Matt asked her. A gust of wind sent cherry blossoms flying around.
"Tai..he's so insensitive to me. Although I'm his girlfriend, he treats me like I'm only third in his life. He puts more importance to his friends than me. He won't even greet me when I pass by him coz he's just to busy with his friends and stuff. I don't think I'm of much importance to him," Sora explained.
Matt suddenly embraced her close and held her face towards his.
"Sora..come back to me. I love you. You're not for Tai. We're meant to be. We are DESTINED to each other."
He brushed his lips against hers. Sora again couldn't resist. The smoldering love she had for him strengthened and ignited. She held him closer and hugged him tighter. She put her love to the kiss she dared not to be spoiled. He's right. We're meant for each other. I really thought it's gonna be love, and it really is.
"I love you Matt!" Sora cried.
"I know..And I love you too."
Sora embraced him tightly with tears flowing in her eyes. Yamato.
"If I hadn't helped you, I wouldn't have fallen for you. Fate was with us," Matt whispered softly to Sora, as another gust of wind sent cherry blossoms flying, more like encircling them.
"I made a bad decision rejecting you. I knew I did," Sora sighed, "But now, the right thing to do is to love you."
Goodbye Tai. Hello Matt.
