You Know ~By JingHikari Yagami sat in math class bored out of her mind again. Her eyes had been focused on the nice tree outside in the courtyard.
Hm…I wonder, if I stare at that tree long enough, will it move?*Sigh* Guess not. Hikari's eyes reverted back to the present task….school, how boring. Fortunately she could fall into her own world of dreams, of memories, times when she didn't need to worry about this strange feeling she had for him. The digital world had closed. No more digimon to worry about, at least no more enemies to speak of. 5 years of peace, it was nice, the digidestend could go back out just to have fun, to see their friends no more fighting. Peace. But of course only peace in the digital world, back home, there was still school, tests, and feelings, which could not be escaped.
Sometimes I think that the digital world was easier than high school! Man in fact I'm pretty sure that the digital world was easier than high school, and I didn't have to worry about strange feelings back then.
The bell rang, signifying the end of a long school day and the end of a week.
"Don't forget to do problems 5-20 on page 268 for Monday class!" there teacher yelled as the class filled out of the classroom.
"Hey Hika!" Takeru called after Hikari as they entered the halls, using his playful nickname for her that he had ever since they were little. "Wanna go for pizza?"
"Sounds great Keru." Hikari replied joyfully. She was the only one who was allowed to call him by that name, and she loved it. She knew that if anyone else had tried using such a name to address Takeru he would have pounced on them in a heart beat.

"I'll go order what do you want to eat?" Takeru asked Hikari.
"Um…….pasta slice?"
"Sure thing"
"Oh wait…here" Hikari began to reach into her bag for her wallet.
"Forget about it Hika, it's on me today." Takeru insisted with the smile on his face that told her that the world really was a special place
***
"Thanks for the pizza Keru."
"Anytime, here, I'll walk you home."
"Oh, you don't have to do that, really I can find my way home."
"So you don't want me to walk you home?" Takeru put on an overly exaggerated pout.
"Haha, well if you really WANT to walk me home than of course you can."
"It'd be my pleasure" Takeru said with a bow and a smile as they exited the pizza parlor.
Hikari giggled, Takeru was always such a gentleman.
He's so sweet. But what is this that I feel when I'm with him? …it mustn't be anything.
The two friends walked a distance in silence as they headed towards the park.
Soon Takeru's arm found it's way resting on Hikari's shoulder and an involuntary blush crept up onto her face as he did what had become common place between the two.
This feels so right, everything with him feels right, when I'm around him…but why do I always feel this way?
"Would you like some ice cream before we get you home?" Takeru asked already getting money out for the vendor.
"Oh…..I don't know…."
"Oh come on my treat?"
"But Keru, you already paid for the pizza."
"No big deal really."
"But."
"Ok how bout this, I'll pay for one ice cream and we can split it." Takeru put a pout on his face that Hikari just couldn't resist. She giggled once again, and agreed.
"Chocolate? Or vanilla? Miss Yagami."
"Hm…how bout……both? In a cup."
"Sure thing. Sit and I'll be right back." He smiled sweetly at her.
She sat on the bench watching him approach the kart and order the ice cream. She sighed and looked towards the sky. He was so sweet, and kind and wonderful, nice, kind and always had something sweet to say, so why was she denying her heart the pleasure it yearned to feel? Why was she not allowing her self to express her feelings? She wondered, but knew exactly why. She was scared, scared that he wouldn't feel the same towards her, scared that if he didn't, the friendship the she treasured more than life itself would be shattered into a million pieces, pieces that could never be restored to it original glory. She sighed once more. She loved him, she knew it, and there was no doubt about it. When she was with him, she was safe, no one could touch her, the world stopped spinning, the air calmed, the sun shone, and the birds sang just for them. Everything was perfect when she was around him. If only, if only he felt the same with her, then she would be the happiest girl in the world.
Where is he? It shouldn't take this long to get an ice cream…Hikari looked over to the ice cream kart and saw Takeru's back to her with his hand loosely holding onto the ice cream cup, which was resting on the sill of the kart, slowly melting. She wondered what he was looking at that would cause him to take so long to return to her. Hikari stood up and jogged over to Takeru. As she approached the kart, she saw what had consumed Takeru's attention. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed him talking to one of the most beautiful and popular girls in the 11th grade and the whole school for that matter. A sudden rush of panic and jealousy flooded Hikari's mind like a tidal wave crashing on a rock wall.
Hikari stopped momentarily before rushing towards him to *cough* fetch her ice cream. Once Hikari was next to Takeru she hooked arms with him and smiled coolly.
"Keru!" Hikari chimed out melodiously, "What happened to our ice cream? Oh, Hi Eriko, I'm sorry I didn't see you standing there." She lied.
"Oh, hi." Eriko responded, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Anyway like I was saying Takeru, I hope to see you on Saturday?"
"Yeah Saturday it is." Takeru smiled wondrously.
"Bye for now then." Eriko smiled seductively.
With that Eriko turned around and walked away towards the center of the park, hips swinging and hair blowing in the soft spring wind.
"Um….Keru, what was that about? What's Saturday?"
Takeru had a light blush on his face as he responded to her question. "Oh, um just a party she's having for the basket ball team, you know cause we won the other day and all."
"Oh, is that all…." Hikari looked away, that wasn't so bad…so why was it that her heart felt as if it had been stabbed?
"Oh, Hika, I'm sorry, the ice cream has sorta melted…a bit." Takeru looked to the liquid desert in the cup he held and smiled impishly.
***
As Monday rolled along as did a change in school and life for Hikari.
"Good morning class." Hikari and Takeru's physics teacher Mr. Odanga greeted as he entered the classroom 4th period. The day had been quite uneventful math, Japanese, and gym classes had preceded physics and now she was sitting next in class patiently awaiting the start of class. "As you know, today marks the beginning of second quarter and therefore we will be switching lab partners i.e. seats." The class moaned as they all wanted to stay sitting with their friends.
Nuts that means that Keru and I probably will not be sitting next to each other anymore.
"Now class, if you would all kindly stand up and take your things to the back I will begin to assign your new seats."
Everyone began to gather their things and move to the back of the room. Takeru stood next to Hikari in the back waiting for his name to be called.
"Aw man Hika, looks like we won't be sitting next to each other anymore."
Hehe we always think alike.
"Yeah, I'm so so so sadd….." Hikari pretended to cry in a dramatic way.
Takeru laughed. "Hika, you are so silly sometimes." He smiled brilliantly at him
"Oh I know"
"Takashi Takeru" The teacher called. "Sit right here please."
Takeru picked his things up from the floor and headed up to his seat in the front.
"Yagami Hikari, next to Takashi please." Hikari was royally surprised to still be sitting next to Takeru. She strolled over to her seat next to him and sat. "Hehe, I guess we were both wrong about not sitting next to each other again."
The seating placements continued until everyone was seated. Finally Mr. Odanga took his place in the front of the class.
"Now that your seats have all been changed if there is a problem with where you are sitting, please speak to me after class." With that Mr. Odanga resumed class to it's normal. Well despite the new seating arrangements, those who slept in Odanga's class still slept and those who took notes took notes.
Finally after 45 minutes of listening to Mr. Odanga lecture the bell rung. School continued as usual, lunch, history and English. When the day ended Hikari felt exhausted. She couldn't put her finger on it but she was just so tired. When she reached home, she kicked her shoes off and took a long well deserved nap.
*Ring….Ring….Ring….RING!!!!!*
Hikari woke to the sound of the ringing telephone. Groggily she semi walked, stumbled into the hall to answer the phone.
Hold on hold on, man, you'd think that they would design phones to ring slower for the tired.
"Hello?"
"Kari, it's Tai, I'm stuck here at school for a soccer practice and mom and dad won't be home till late, mind eating by yourself? Or if you want you can invite a friend over to keep you company."
"Oh, ok Tai, um….would you want me to save you food?"
"Nah, that's ok, I'm gonna get food over here with some of the guys ok? There's money in the cabinet help yourself to any type of take out."
"Thanks Tai, I'll see you later tonight then."
Hm, what to eat…already had pizza recently, sushi? Nah, the good kind is expensiv…oh Chinese…..blah but you need to order a lot for it to be good. Eh, I'll invite some one over to help me out. Hm……Keru haha he'll eat it.
Hikari brought the phone back up to her ear and dialed Takeru's phone number.
*Ring Ring*
"Hello, Takashi residence, Takeru speaking."
"Hehe, always formal."
"Hey Hika what's up?"
"Oh nothing, but Tai and my parents have left me to eat dinner by my self so, would you like to save me the torture and join me for Chinese? My treat."
"Oh, Hika, I don't know Chinese is expensive...are you sure?"
"Hey forget it, it's my parents money anyway, plus you'd be doing me a favor….Please?" She hoped that he would be convinced. She really didn't want to eat alone.
"Well, if it's to keep you company then sure. Have you ordered or are you waiting for me?"
"Waiting, come over and we'll order."
"Sure thing, be there in a few. Bye"
"Ok, Bye."
Hikari hung the phone up and went to search for the take out menu to GuangZhou Chinese.
*Ding Dong*
"Haha, Keru you're just on time! I finally found the menu!"
"Oh you're so funny Hika." They both smiled entertained by their childish feats at times.
"Ok, so what do you want to eat? I already know that I want General Shou's chicken and Lo Mein. You?"
"Hika, you are so predictable, I knew you'd order that."
"Hey do NOT make fun of the predictable."
"Hehe, ok well I think I'll have Sesame Chicken with Rice, and since you're paying I'll do the ordering how's that?"
"Cool, thanks. I'll set up the table, oh yeah, and wanna help me with the trig home work?"
"Oh I knew it! This wasn't just a harmless invite for food you wanted help in work also!"
"Oops, did I forget to tell you when I called that I secretly also wanted to lure you into math? Woops silly me." Hikari smiled happy to have gotten Takeru over under pretences of just food.
"Hika! I can't believe you!" He seemed mad…. "Oh well it's cool, it is you after all. Go get your stuff while I order and then we'll work. BUT only until the food comes, after that we just hang agreed?"
"Agreed."
***
The two worked together on trigonometry until the Chinese food arrived. When the doorbell rang, Hikari got up to pay.
Wow, just as we finish, what perfect timing.
Hikari handed the money to the delivery boy and then returned to her kitchen table.
"MMm it smells so good. I'm starved!"
"Me too, thanks for helping me with the trig Keru. I owe you one."
"Hey no problem, anything for you."
A moment of silence followed where Hikari and Takeru opened their food and sat to eat. Hikari looked out the window. The sun was setting and it was a beautiful sight.
Hikari turned her head as she spoke, "Wow Keru, isn't it so majes-" Hikari caught what she thought to be Takeru looking at her. "-tic"
Hikari quickly looked back to the window, a blush rising to her face.
"Yeah, really majestic." Takeru agreed and turned to the window also.
Just like someone.
Dum Dum Dum! Who is majestic? What about Eriko, has Saturday come and gone yet? I don't even know lol lost track of time in this story haha.
