"…Hello?…"
"Matt?"
"…What?"
"Nothing, just wanted to know how you were doing."
"Just peachy…"
"What happened to your answering machine? It didn't pick up."
"…Dunno…I think at the 10th time smashing it against the wall did it."
"Oh…Wha'cha doing now?"
"Watching TV."
"About what?"
"Dunno."
"Then what are you doing?"
"Flipping through channels."
"How long have been you doing that?"
"Hmm…twenty minutes?"
The person on the other side of the phone signed, "Matt-"
"Ain't you late for class?"
"No, I don't start for another hour. Which means we could talk 'til then."
"Oh joy…Hey, Sora. Gotta go."
Her responds faded as Matt took the phone from his ear, pressed 'off' and threw it on the couch. He stood up and walked to the kitchen. He grabbed a coke and laid back on the couch, grabbing the remote.
Click…click…click…click
Matt hasn't been acting the same lately. The others noticed that, the day after when Liana broke the news of their so-called good relationship for two years. Liana hadn't called him or made any contact with the others. She figured, she should listen to Mimi and let Matt cool down for a few days. Matt has missed classes and the others helped out to bring notes, schoolwork, and homework to him. He didn't want to talk with anyone. He just wanted to be left alone. His dad forced him to buy another phone since Matt broken the first one. The dents on the wall of the living room told all truth. He was going to have to pay for that too. All shit had down to hell for this pass week. The rain banged against the wall, leaving Matt to find something else annoying. The room was dark with light dancing across the living room as the TV showed another pointless commercial. Matt thought for a moment, then reached for the phone and dialed.
~o~
Mimi just ate a large piece of pancakes when the phone rang. She signed and rolled her eyes. Had to be now. Mimi cursed in her mind as she chewed faster to swallow the remains in her mouth. Mimi stood up and swallowed her food down without milk.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Mimi."
"Oh hi, Matt."
"Listen, I can't make it for our first class. Could you take notes or grab any homework for me?"
"Sure, no problem."
"Thanks, bye."
"Wait." But the phone cut short. Mimi softly said bye even though Matt said his bye, then placed the phone back.
Mimi drank her milk and looked out the window. The rain continued to pour the heaven tears to the dark, grey earth. Trees branches dangled miserable against the strong wind and rain. A thick gray fog spread across the city. It remained Mimi of a certain evil vampire digimon when he tried to conquer earth in order to find the 8th digidestined. This gave Mimi a creepy feeling. But everything was over. Gray clouds floated over head the lands, leaving a dark dim light. No bright light shined.
Brushing her teeth, Mimi brushed her chestnut hair. Held it up with a ponytail, with her bangs framing her face. She removed the toothbrush from her mouth and washed it. She washed her hands and left the restroom. She entered her room. She turned off the radio, grabbed her coat, handbag, and keys. Once outside, Mimi closed the door, opened her umbrella, and made her way to the car. She started the engine and waited a moment for the engine to warm up. Looking both ways, Mimi exited from the driveway and into the street. The wind shield wipers repeated eagerly to remove the hard rain as Mimi drove to school.
The rain poured cats and dogs when Mimi drove and parked her car to the student parking. Mimi turned off the engine and placed some last minute make-up. Gathering all her stuff, Mimi opened the door, and opened the umbrella. Mimi closed the door and wore her handbag in place. She took a step when suddenly Mimi felt herself trip on the curb, which she did not see. Everything turned blurry. Time seem have had stopped as her eyes flashed before her eyes. Mimi softly cursed as she was going to feel the impact. There was nothing that she could do in time. Then all that was blurry had stopped. Confused, Mimi froze in place, wondering what had happen. The rain kept coming down.
"Careful there. Those curbs can be real killers." Someone joked.
Mimi turned and faced her helper. Under his umbrella, Mimi noted the rich dark brown hair. It was short and in spikes on the front. His deep flame eyes glowed fire in the gray surrounding. His white perfect smile beamed down on Mimi. And as he smiled, two dimples appear on both cheeks, giving his twenty-three years the look of a teenage boy. He helped Mimi stand up straight. He wore a warm blue sweater over his lean, but muscular body. Mimi smiled.
"Thanks."
They stood quietly; neither of them knew what to say.
"I'm William. I came from America to focus my studies here."
"Yeah? I went to America to stay because my parents had jobs there. And now, I'm back home."
"Yeah? Wow that's cool. Sorry, but I gotta run…it was nice meeting you,-"
"Mimi. My name's Mimi."
"Well, hopefully I see you again, Mimi. Bye." Then William left.
Mimi waved her hand to his retreating figure. Mimi shook her head from some weird feelings she just felt.
"Woah, what just happened?"
~o~
After convincing teachers, Matt came back to school a week later. He worked hard to catch up with the class and raised his grades where he had left them. He acted normal with his friends, but avoid Liana as much of possible. It still hurt him to see Liana with someone else. And he hated himself for that. Bewildered and hurting slowly, Matt brought his courage up and talked with Liana. They talked and talked for hours. They recalled lives and events from their younger years. Like the old times before. This remained Matt of his talk with Mimi, but he focused on Liana. He asked for Liana's forgiveness for punching her new boyfriend in the face. From then on, Matt figured Liana wasn't for him. He and Liana stayed friends, but Liana's boyfriend, Matt didn't want to talk to or become friends with. Matt needed more time for that. Liana understood that.
"Say cheese." Yolie took a step back.
"Cheese."
Click.
The digidestineds were at the park, celebrating Sora's birthday. They packed everything up and sat on benches, relaxing. For the first time, the sun shined as the clouds moved along. The wind blew gently.
"Who's up for tag?" Tai spoke up, ran in front of the group. The other watched him with strange looks.
"Oh yeah, I want to play," Izzy laughed then added with a sweatdrop. "Like ten years ago."
"Yeah, what does it look like, Tai? We're too old to play kid stuff." Matt said.
"Maybe for you. What? Too scared you can't keep with us?" Then Tai touched him on the shoulder as a tag.
"Hey!" Then Matt touched Kari for the tag. Kari didn't want to be it so she passed it to Joe then so on until all of them were running from each other. It alternated around. Sora chased Izzy. Izzy chased T.K., then he chased Ken. Tai was tagged and he teased everyone by running towards them, then changed directions for a new victim. Some rested while others were being chased until they had to run when the tagger came to them. The clouds covered the sun and earth was plunged into darkness again, but the others ignored it. Then the rain poured softly for a few minutes until it rain hard. The others cared less. They laughed and ran.
Cody caught up with Matt and tagged him. Mimi was the closeness to him and he chased after her. Mimi saw this. Laughing and running Matt and Mimi ran from the others. Mimi lost her footing. Matt caught her, but in the process he fell over too, bring Mimi down with him.
"You're it."
Mimi laughed with Matt on the ground. She stood up, but slipped on the mud and fell into Matt. They stopped laughing when they came face to face with each other. Suddenly thoughts came to mind when the same situation with them at the camping trip. But Liana was no more to them. Nothing stood in their way. The same radiation of his lips came closer to Mimi. Her sweet breaths rain down Matt's lips. Waiting for the contact. Matt brought his hand to Mimi's cheek, drawing her closer to him. They closed their eyes when their noses' touched. The rain poured down on their hot faces. They brushed lips, then fully on the mouth. The gray earth. The pouring rain. The windy air. They were all forgotten around the young couple. When they stopped, they stared at each other confused.
"I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean too."
Mimi bit her lower lips, "It's okay. I guess it just happened."
"Hey you two! Come on before you catch your deaths here!" Called out Joe and the rain came harder.
~o~
Ring!
"Hello?"
"Haha! You too?"
"Yeah. Haha." Coughed Sora.
A day had passed to Sunday. The rain continued to drop. Due to the other day, the group became sick, which was funny to them. They parents stared at their children wondering what was funny about being sick. They just shook their heads and left them to recover. Sora laid under many blankets with a wet cloth on her forehead.
"So, how are you being treated?" Mimi coughed.
"Like a queen…cough!!" Sora choked out.
"Suuure." Mimi sniffed. She blew her nose.
"You know what? We should have a party of all of us sick." Sora laughed.
"But who would take of us?"
"…Good point."
"Oh, William will."
"Who's William?"
"A guy I met back at school."
"Ooooh…do tell."
"Well, I just getting out of my car and I tripped on the curb."
"That's not good."
"Yeah, and he caught me before I kissed the cement."
"How does he look like?"
"He has dark brown hair. A little spiky on the front. Fire like eyes. Really nice. He's really strong too."
"Sounds hot. Hey, where do you meet him? You usually hang out with us."
"Between my classes. His class is next to mine and we talk until the teachers come."
"Good friends or really good friends?"
"Geez, Sora. I don't sleep with everyone I meet."
Sora shrugged. "People change."
"Anyways…we talk about everything. From childhood to our cars. He's really a sweet guy."
"It's too good to be true."
"But you have Tai."
"And?…Just kidding."
They both laughed. Then started coughing.
"No, I love Tai."
"Good."
"Tai!?"
"Yeah?"
"Oops, I forgot to mention. Tai's on the phone too. The three way phone." Mimi laughed, then coughed.
~o~
A month has passed and the group was having lunch. Mimi told them of a guy she was seeing. The others wanted to meet him. Matt was happy that Mimi finally found someone. Or was he? That kiss still bothered him. He didn't really meant to kiss her. It just happened. They were just friends. Right? Shaking his head, Matt followed Mimi's direction and found a guy walking towards them.
"Guys, this is William. William, this is Tai, Sora, Izzy, and Matt, my very good friends."
"Stop Mimi, you're making me blush." Tai laughed. The others joined.
"You have to ignore him sometimes." Sora said, hugging Tai.
"Sometimes? All the time, you mean." Matt muttered.
"I heard that."
"It's nice to meet you all." William smiled.
After finishing lunch, the group decided for a little walk around the school. Tai and Sora were leading the group to the anywhere. Mimi and Izzy were at the middle. Matt and William were at the back. Matt tried to slow for William to go ahead, but he kept his pace with Matt.
"So, I've heard you had a little thing for Mimi, huh?" William asked.
"That was a long time ago and that's not your business to know." Matt turned to William.
"Oh, but it is my business. I've heard you hurt Mimi by going out with your little girlfriend and leaving Mimi in the dust a long time ago. Now that Mimi is my girlfriend, I don't want you looking at her or causing her more pain." His fire eyes glowed.
"Hey, what you doing, guys? Come on." Mimi yelled from a far to them.
William smiled to Matt, "Coming." Then he caught up with Mimi. He put his arms around her.
Matt was left confused and angry.

Inside the school gym, T.K. ran across the court, around the players with ease. Dribbling the ball as he went and avoiding the opposite team. Sweat tickled down his face as he ran to the hoop. Some players ran with him and some ran after him. T.K. blocked everyone from his mind, focusing on his goal. A player became desperate and thrust his leg to trip T.K., but the blonde jumped over it and threw the ball into the hoop. The small group cheered. T.K. wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Davis, this isn't soccer." T.K. looked at Davis with an annoy face.
"Well, it should be. You're the only one who knows how play basketball. You beat us again. And I bet your team doesn't even get a chance to play."
T.K. looked to his team. Kari and Ken were sitting down at the sidelines. They smiled. Then everyone started laughing.
Matt and Mimi sat on the high bleachers, watching the little team laughing. Izzy sat by, working on his laptop.
"What are they laughing about?"
"Beats me."
"All right people! Move over, let the pros play next."
Matt and Mimi turned they heads and found Tai and Sora walking to T.K.'s game with a soccer ball tucked under Tai's arm.
Davis brighten, "Now, we're talking."
Matt and Mimi watched as Tai and Davis picked their teams. Sora, Ken, and Yolie were on Tai's team. Kari, T.K, and Cody were on Davis'. Matt flipped a coin as Tai and Davis called tails or heads. Matt showed Mimi the coin and Mmi called out the answer. Davis had the ball. The teams went into position, then the game started. Davis only had the ball for a second when Tai came and swooshed it from him. The ball flew pass T.K. The game was like a slaughterhouse. The ball went back and front. Matt and Mimi watched with interest, wondering who was going to win. Tai's team ending up winning.
"No brainer." Matt muttered. Mimi smiled to the victors.
Too tired…must stop…eat food…juuuuust kidding. I wouldn't do that to myself. ^_^ So, what do you think? Plz R&R. And enjoy your day
Peace out…
