Notes: ^^;; Its me again… I'm not used to this whole chapter thing, but Kris-koi talked me into it.
Chapter Four
When I got to school the next morning, Angel was waiting for me. I grinned at her as I put my books in my locker.
"Hi TK," she greeted me with that killer smile. I took in what she was wearing. She was wearing a bright pink silk kimono.
"Nice clothes," I said, feeling giddy. When you were around Angel, you just had to smile.
"Thanks TK," she reached over and kissed my cheek. I felt my face fire up. Just then Maxine walked past. She gave Angel a dirty look, but Angel seemed oblivious and kept up a steady stream of chatter. I watched as Maxine walked away. The fact that I was friendly with Angel was going to be spread around the school. For some reason I felt embarrassed to be there. Then Kari arrived.
"Good morning TK… Angel," she looked at Angel weirdly and frowned.
"Hey Kari," I answered. Angel chose that moment to leave.
"Bye TK," she waved wildly at me as she walked down the hall. I waved back, keeping my hand low. I turned to Kari.
"What happened to you yesterday afternoon?" she demanded.
"Huh?" I said blankly.
"You were supposed to join Yolei, Davis, Cody, Ken, Tai and I in the Digiworld after you dropped your books home," she reminded me. I jumped as I remembered.
"Gee Kari, I'm sorry," I apologised. "I just got talking to Angel and I forgot all about it." Kari looked pissed off.
"Well, you have more important things to do than talk to her," Kari said haughtily and waltzed off. I raised my eyebrow and wondered what was eating her.
When I arrived at homeroom, everyone turned and looked at me. I cringed. Maxine pointed towards my desk. I followed her finger. On my desk sat a very large heart made out of cardboard. The text was big enough to read from were I was standing. In large black letters read: ANGEL LOVES TK. My eyes widened. Someone on the other side of the classroom started laughing. The teacher entered the room then and looked around to see what the fuss was about. She looked at me.
"Mr. Takaishi, please remove that from my classroom," she frowned down at me. I rushed over and grabbed the heart.
"Sorry Ms. Weeragua," I mumbled as I rushed from the classroom. I heard snickers as I disappeared down the hall.
I arrived at my locker and quickly opened it. Rose petals fell out and onto the floor. I groaned. Angel again. I folded the heart up the best I could and stuffed it up the back of my locker. Then I kneeled down and started to pick up the petals. That's when I heard someone laughing. I looked left and saw a pair of grey sneakers.
"Poor TK," the voice, male, said mockingly. I looked up and saw the school bully looking at me.
"Why aren't you in class?" I asked gruffly. I tried to find a way out.
"I should be asking you that," he replied.
"I had to do something," I answered, not looking at his face.
"Well, so do I," he laughed. "I have to go to the office for throwing rocks into the swimming pool." I nodded and tried to brush past him. He stopped me.
"How's your little girlfriend?" he asked cockily.
"What girlfriend?" I asked nervously.
"That Angel freak," he held his arm in front of me.
"She's not my girlfriend," I answered.
"Sure and I'm Santa," he shot back. I looked around. Why weren't there any teachers in the halls during class?
"Well Santa, for Christmas I want you to leave me alone," I joked and moved past him and ran down the hall, back to my class.
