Chapter 10
"Well?" Tai asked.
"Why do you even care?" Matt asked, heading inside the apartment.
Tai closed the door behind him.
"Because, I'm your friend, and I'm also a friend of Sora's, and want to be able to help. " Tai stated.
Matt sighed, placing his fingers through his golden hair. "Then to answer question.yes, I happen to like Sora, in fact I think I even love her. I don't even know when it came in realization to me. But she doesn't even feel the same way about me."
"You can never be to sure." Tai said.
"What are you talking about? It's obvious she wouldn't fall for a guy like me." Matt said.
"'A guy like you'?" Tai repeated, shocked, "believe me, I'd say she is the luckiest girl on earth if I were you."
Matt looked hopelessly at him and clicked on the TV.
"But there is a way you can turn things around." Tai said, grinning.

(Next day)
Sora threw her books into her locker and picked up her bag.
"Sora!!!" Mimi yelled across the hall.
"Hey there Mimi." Sora smiled.
Mimi ran over to her and paused to catch her breath.
"We have a sub today in history! Isn't that cool?" Mimi said excitedly.
"Sounds like fun." Sora said rolling her eyes.
"The dance is today." Mimi said, winking.
"Yes, I know." Sora said.
"I can't wait! In just 12 hours."Mimi gushed.
"Hey girls. Hey Sora." Tai greeted. Matt opened the lock to his locker and placed a book in.
Tai nudged him in the ribs and in response Matt nudged him even harder until he practically fell down. Sora and Mimi stared at them in confusion. Tai got up quickly and sweatdropped.
"Sorry about that, I'm a little sleepy this morning." Tai said sheepishly.
Sora and Mimi looked at him incredulously, as Matt stood in the back, shaking his head. The bell rang.
All four of them headed to history. Sora sat down and rested her chin in the palm of her hand as she stared out the window.
A brunette walked into the classroom and stood in front of the class.
"Hello class, I'm Mrs. Kanbara. There's nothing really that you have to do for class as your teacher is not present, therefore it is a free period, and if your voices get louder than my voice now you're immediately off to detention." The teacher said before taking a seat at the desk.
Matt sighed and scribbled something a piece of paper. He crumpled it into a ball and threw it onto Sora's desk.
"A note!" Mimi exclaimed. "How exciting!"
Sora took the ball and flattened it out so she could read it.
~ Hey Sor, mind if I call you Sor? I guess you have no choice, anyways, I'm really looking forward to the dance tonight, and I hope you are too. If you feel the least bit uncomfortable with it then we can talk about it.
Yours truly, Yama ~
'Hmm.he has nice writing.' Sora thought.
She blushed at the last part of the note. Mimi reached over and grabbed for the paper. Sora pulled it away and glared at her.
"I'll show you later Mimi." Sora said, and began to write something on another piece of paper. She crumpled that up and threw it back over to Matt.
~ Hey Yama. huh, I like the sound of that. To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to it too, I know I seemed weird about it before, but it's all behind me now.besides, if I turned down a date with the great Yamato Ishida, my rep would be trashed! ^_-
Love, Sor ~
"How come I don't get to read any of this?" Mimi asked.
"Later Mimi." Sora said.
Tai noticed Matt blush slightly.
"Hey! What's the big idea? Don't I get to see any of this?" Tai asked.
Matt ignored him and started writing back, and then he immediately threw it back to Sora.
~ I knew you couldn't resist me.Every girl's like that ^_^ jk. Pick you up at 7.
Love, The one and only, greatest, lovable, Yama ~
Sora giggled quietly and turned her head over to Matt who was leaning back in his chair, grinning at her. He gave a quick wave of his hand before she turned back around to Mimi.
"Let me see one of those." Mimi said, grabbing one of Matt's notes.
Mimi quickly read it through and squealed.
The teacher looked up from her book and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I.er...um." Mimi said blushing, and hiding her head behind the note.
Mrs. Kanbara cocked an eyebrow and repeated her question once more.
"I was just excited about that math quiz I'm having next period!" Mimi said dumbly.
Sora laughed to herself. The teacher stared at her for a moment before returning to her book.
"I thought you said you didn't like him!" Mimi whispered.
"I've changed my mind." Sora said smiling.
"I've got to say, it's a nice change of pace." Mimi said smiling.
(45 minutes later)
"Alright class, I have another class on the other side of the school to get to so class will be dismissed 5 minutes early. But you are not to leave the classroom any earlier." The teacher said. With that she got her bag and quickly headed out the door.

(After school)
"So, what say we head to my house to do some homework and then the dance?" Mimi suggested.
"Too bad we have homework on a Friday, especially on a dance night." Yolei sighed.
"How about it?" Mimi asked.
"Sure." Sora said.
"Fine with me." Yolei said.
All three of the girls headed to Mimi's house to "do their homework."
(A while later)
"Full house!" Yolei called.
"Again?" Mimi said.
"Yes, now hand over the twenty bucks." Yolei said proudly.
"I'm broke, spending all that cash on the dance. Besides, my dad cut down on the expenses, you know how it is.How about I lend you that pearl necklace of mine that you've always wanted?" Mimi said.
"Deal!" Yolei beamed.
"Its 5:30, shouldn't we be getting ready for the dance?" Sora asked.
"5:30!??!?" Mimi shrieked. "That's hardly enough time to get ready!"
Yolei and Sora laughed.
"You all can take a shower here in the guest bathrooms." Mimi said.
All three of them took separate showers and put on their dresses, which they had brought over carefully a while earlier.
"A little eye shadow here.and a little there." Mimi said. "Perfect!"
Sora looked at herself in the mirror. She had light pink lip gloss and a thin layer of black eye shadow and liner.
"Don't you think it's a bit.heavy?" Sora asked.
"Nonsense! It looks great! Now Yolei, for that necklace I promised you." Mimi said, walking over to her jewelry box and pulling out a pearl necklace.
"Gorgeous!" Yolei said, as Mimi put it on her. "Thanks Mimi!"
Yolei looked at the clock which read 6:25.
"Should we be leaving?" Yolei asked.
"Right, I need to call Matt." Sora said, picking up the portable phone.
Yolei and Mimi giggled amongst themselves. Sora grumbled irritably to herself as she picked up the phone and dialed in some numbers.
Matt went over to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello?." He answered.
"Hey there." Sora said.
"Sora? Is everything ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm at Mimi's house. Would it be any trouble for you to pick me up here instead?" Sora asked.
"No prob." Matt said.
"Thanks yama." Sora said. "See you soon then."
"Alright, bye." Matt said.
"'Thanks yama'" Mimi and Yolei mimicked, while fluttering their eyelashes.
Sora would have killed them both if she hadn't been wearing a dress.
"Is Ken and Tai picking you two up?" Sora asked.
"Yep." Yolei said.
"I'm assuming that Tai and Matt will be here together." Mimi said.
"Of course!" Sora said.
(7:00 sharp)
The doorbell rang and Mimi attempted to run down the stairs to the door. She opened the door to Ken, who was holding a corsage.
"Hey Mimi. Yolei there?" Ken smiled.
"Don't you look nice!" Mimi complimented.
"Back off sister, he's mine!" Yolei joked, grabbing his arm.
Mimi laughed.
"Have fun you two, I'll see you there Yolei." Mimi said.
"Bye," Ken and Yolei said.
The two got into Ken's car and drove off towards school. Not a moment later the doorbell rang and Mimi opened the door yet again.
"Matt! Tai!" Mimi exclaimed.
The two boys were wearing tuxes and Mimi noticed Tai looking rather nervous.
"Tai, you seem so nervous!" Mimi giggled.
"That's because he is." Matt grinned.
Tai blushed and the two boys came in as Mimi went upstairs to get Sora.
"Hey Sora!" Mimi called.
"Yeah?" Sora replied.
"Come on, the guys are here." Mimi said.
Sora walked down the stairs and the two boys stared at her.
"The guys are staring at you." Mimi whispered to Sora.
"Why should they? It's just me." Sora whispered back.
"Very funny Sora, did you happen to notice how absolutely gorgeous you look?" Mimi asked.
"Don't be silly, Mimi." Sora said.
"So, should we get going now?" Tai asked.
Mimi went out the door and headed to Tai's car as he followed her.
"Hey there Sora." Matt said. "Shall we head off, ma'am?" He grinned, holding out his arm.
"Of course!" Sora smiled, taking his arm.
(After they all drive over there: Tai and Mimi are in separate cars from the other two.)
"Sora! Mimi! Over here!" Yolei called waving her hand.
Sora and Mimi headed over to Yolei and Ken.
"The guy's are looking quite handsome if you ask me." Yolei said. "Of course, none better than my Ken."
Ken blushed. Sora and Mimi laughed. A crowd of girls started chasing Matt and Tai, who were frantically trying to avoid them.
Sora sighed at the site and Mimi rushed over to the crowd waving her purse in the air.
"Back off girls they're taken!" Mimi yelled angrily.
Sora laughed and followed Mimi.
