Chapter Three
"Matt!" I blurted out, blushing.
"Surprised? We haven't talked in a long time." Matt said.
"I know." I said.
A long silence passed.
"What are you doing here?" Matt asked.
"I needed some air. You know how cafeterias can get so crowded." I said.
"I know what you mean." Matt said.
"So.the dance is coming up, you going?" I asked uncomfortably.
"Yeah." Matt said.
"Just out of curiosity-"I started.
"No, I'm not going with anyone, yet." Matt said.
"I should've seen that coming." I said smiling.
"Do.you want to go with me?" Matt asked, after awhile.
"What?" I asked, taken aback.
"I asked if you wanted to go to the dance with me." Matt said. "It's not like you have to say yes or anything."
"That would be fun, just between friends, but I'm already going w/Tai." I said.
"I should've expected that." Matt said.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"No, you don't have to be sorry. I knew you were dating Tai, I shouldn't have asked." Matt said getting up.
"Thanks for being so understanding." I said smiling.
"Maybe.you could save a dance for me." Matt said.
I thought he was upset, but quickly ignored that thought.
"Sure thing." I said forcing a smile.
"Catch you later." Matt said, giving me a quick smile before heading back inside.
'I know I'm already going with Tai, but at the same time, for some reason, I feel disappointed that I'm not going with Matt.' I thought. 'No-I couldn't care less.Could I?'

(After lunch)
"Sora! Where were you? You totally ditched me at lunch!" Mimi said.
"I'm sorry; I needed a little time by myself." I said.
"I saw you with Matt." Mimi said. "What did he want?"
"Nothing." I said.
"Come on, Sora. You've been acting so strange lately, and I want to know what's wrong. You know you can tell me, I'm your best friend!" Mimi said.
"Thanks, maybe you can come over to my house after school and talk." I said, smiling.
"That'll be cool, meet me at the front after school." Mimi said.
"Alright, bye." I said.
I walked into my next class, Biology.
"Just what I needed." I said, sighing. "Let's just hope this goes by as quickly as possible."
"Talking to yourself, Sora? Something must be wrong." Yolei said smiling.
"Oh, Hey Yolei." I said. "I'm fine, really."
"Don't play innocent with me, I can tell when something's wrong with one of my best friends!" Yolei said.
"Don't worry about me, I'm going over to Mimi's house after school today, wanna come?" I asked.
"That would be great! Except, I have computer club. So I'll have to pass." Yolei said sadly.
"Aw, that's too bad." I said. "Maybe next time, then."
"Sure." Yolei said.

After school
Mimi's POV~ "I have Coke, Sprite, Root Beer, Diet Pepsi, and orange soda." I said.
"Sprite, please." Sora said.
"Here." I said, handing her a can. "Now what's up?"
"So let's start out homework now." Sora said nervously, getting her binder out of her backpack.
"Very funny, Sor. You're going to end up telling me before you leave, might as well make it easy for the both of us." I said, putting my hands on my waist.
"Well, I don't know, really. I've been going out with Tai for, what, three months now? But lately, I just don't feel attracted to him anymore. It's like there are no sparks, the fire's burned out, no connection at all." Sora said.
"Alright, alright I get it already. I've read this in a Teen magazine once." I said.
"Mimi, this isn't some crazy article in the Teen magazine, its real life!" Sora exclaimed.
"Yes, I know. But it's quite similar. What happened was, this guy was with a girl for a year, but their likeness for each other started to die out and eventually they broke up." I said.
"Are you saying I should break up with Tai?" Sora asked.
"No no no.I'm saying that you need to ask yourself: 'Do you still have the same feelings for Tai as you did when you first met him?'" I asked.
"That's exactly what I've been trying to find out. Along with the fact that I might be falling for Matt." Sora said.
"Matt?! MY Matt??" I said, shocked.
"Yes, him, and he's not yours." Sora said, sighing. "Every time I'm near him I get butterflies in my stomach. I blush like I had a school girl crush on him."
"That's because you do." I said.
"What? Me? Of course not!" Sora said quickly.
I looked at her.
"Fine, I did fall in love with him. Happy now?" Sora asked.
"Very. It's about time you admitted it." I said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sora asked.
"Come on, it's obvious, not to mention the fact that most of the girls love him. In fact, I'm not surprised at all that you were one of the many." I said.
"Hey! You are too." Sora said.
"I know, I know." I said.
"Well, what am I supposed to do?" Sora asked.
"Think about it, and pick one of them, even if it takes days for you to find out." I said. "It'll come to you eventually, and your problem is solved. But I suggest mentioning it to Tai."
"Thanks, Meems." Sora said.
"No prob. Now let's get back to the Teen magazine." I said.
"Only you, Mimi." Sora said laughing.

(At School)
Sora's POV~
"Alright, if x is root 12, then what is y?" the teacher asked.
Yolei and I raised our hands.
"Let's let someone else try for a change, hmm? How about you, Yamato?" the teacher asked.
"Y is 24." Matt said.
"Excellent, now, can anyone else tell me why?" the teacher asked.
'I'm liking him even more. He's so smart.and.' I sighed. 'There I go, thinking about him again, what, is this like the 100th time today?' I mentally asked myself.
"Hello? Sora? Earth to Sora?" Yolei said, snapping her fingers in front of me.
"Oh, hmm?" I asked snapping back to reality.
"We're supposed to be doing this question." Yolei said.
"Oh, right." I said sighing.
I got up to go to the back of the room and pick up my papers. I focused my attention on studies and let no one get in my way.
*the bell rings*
"Page seventy, questions one to thirty." The teacher said.
I quickly left the classroom before anyone could ask me questions. I headed to my locker and opened it.
"Sora, I need to talk to you." A voice said.
I turned around to the person behind me and started to fidget nervously.
"What about?" I asked quietly.
"Why are you avoiding me?" the person asked.
