Ch3.-'Driving in the Jeep'
Matt and Sora had been driving for the past half hour. They left Matt's house so fast that they had forgotten the Jeep cover. The wind was like ice, and the warm temperatures of the day were cooling down. The cold breeze blasted Sora's face, causing her hair to whip against her checks. She shivered a little as she gazed at the passing trees. Matt glanced over at her. "Your cold." He stated. He hadn't realized that his school uniform was made with more layers and material then Sora's. He reached one arm behind the seat, keeping his eyes on the road, and pulled a blanket up front. "Here." He said presenting it to Sora.
"Thanks." She said, gratefully. Sora wrapped the blanket around her tightly and began to feel much warmer, and a little tired. "Matt?" She yawned and tried to get comfortable.
"Hm?"
"I'm really glad you didn't go see Kari and Ken's spelling bee. Then I'd have to go to the Digiworld and do this stuff all by myself."
"I'm glad too." Matt said. Glad to be with Sora, and glad that she appreciates me being here with her. First the thought struck him as being an odd one, but in his heart he knew it was true. He really did enjoy Sora's company, much more then he every remembered enjoying anyone else's. Sora interrupted his thoughts with another comment of appreciation.
"I'm glad that Izzy told us about needing the-" This time Sora interrupted herself with another yawn. " –computer class to graduate. I would have never saw that e-mail without you finding the e-mail, and without Izzy's nagging about graduating degree's"
"And we would have never graduated." Matt added
"Yeah, that too." Sora said sleepily
"But your right we do owe Izzy, even though somebody probably would have told us about it."
"Tr-" She yawned, yet again. "-ue" Matt smiled. She's cute when she's tired… Whoa! Where did that thought come from? He thought as he sneaked a peek back at Sora. Her eyes were half open and she was all curled up, covered in his blanket. Well she is. He reasoned with himself. Is that okay to admit about your friends? He wondered. He glanced back at Sora, who was fighting to keep here eyes open.
"Sora go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there."
"Okay... Thanks Matt." She said in a voice that reminded him of when Tk was younger. Her voice was filled with respect and love. But she probably only thinks of me as a brother, like Tk does. He sighed. Did she notice his blush when she told him that her password was? The password simply stated that she loved his new song. But what Sora didn't know was that when Matt had written the love song he used Sora as his role model for the girl he sang about. The song was about her, and the feelings he felt when she was near him. The truth of the matter was that he had a crush on Sora, one of his best friends. For the longest time he pretended that he was just confusing the friendship kind of love with the romantic kind. But here in the car, he realized for the first time he wasn't. What he felt for Sora was a real love, a true kind. One that he surly couldn't ignore forever, especially not when she was near him so much. He hoped with all his heart she liked him the same way, but he could never be sure. Matt knew he'd have to tell her sometime, but he wasn't sure when or how. As they neared their destination, Matt decided to push that thought away for another time. He arrived at the site of the portal and shook Sora awake.
"Sora we're here." The location of the portal was a small wooden area, far away from people. The only people who might pass it were those who made a wrong turn onto the small dirt road. Sora got up quickly and they both climbed out of the jeep. She helped Matt take all the stuff out of the car. They both put on they're backpacks and attached each other's sleeping bags to their packs. Then Sora helped Matt push his jeep into the bushes where it would be even less likely to be seen. They walked towards the bluish-green glow that came from the middle of the small forest. As Sora and Matt approached the small window-like portal, their crest began to glow. The blue-green light shined so brightly it made it seem like Matt and Sora were glowing its color as well. Sora reached out and grabbed Matt's hand, and they both ran to the portal.
Thanks for all the reviews! I know this chapter's a little short, sorry. Hope everyone enjoyed it anyway. My dad's taking me and my sisters upstate to see some chasm this weekend so I won't be able to update 'til Monday. It's a seven-hour road trip so I plan to write lots more on the way there. I just can't update because I don't have a laptop. (What can I say... This computer's no pineapple) When I get back I'll post two chapters at the same time to try and make up for it! Sorry!!
Please Review!
