The sky was as gray as her tunic-sweater. Her head hung low and she let her hair fall around her face, so no one could see the gloomy look that was embedded on her skin. This was her first day to school since Matt stood her up…three days ago. Sunday.

Sora walked into her class and sat down beside Cassidy. Matt just sat behind Cassidy, playing with the pencil that was placed in his hands. Sora propped her head on her hand and looked ahead at the teacher…ignoring every movement Matt made.

She slammed the bathroom stall door shut and sat down on the cold, stone feeling floor. She cuddled her knees closer to her body and began crying. She couldn't stop. Sora couldn't compose herself enough to walk out of the bathroom and just go home. Matt might be out there. He might be looking for her.

She leaned against the stall wall and closed her eyes. She never thought she would fall asleep in the girl's bathroom. But for a mere hour, she did.

Sora awoke to the sound of someone knocking on the stall door. Sora looked at the feet. Tennis shoes. Boy's shoes.

"Why are you in the girl's bathroom?" She asked, as if she had been asleep for three days straight. She stood and opened the door. Standing there was her dreamboat. Matt Ishida.

"Sora," He began, holding the door open and blocking any way for her to leave, "I'm sorry. Cassidy told me not to go-"

"So, you always listen to her, huh? You could've called, Matt! I stayed there until midnight! I stayed up all night of those three days I wasn't at school. Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you were the reason I wasn't coming?" Sora interrupted, pain and confusion filling her voice.

Matt sighed and backed away, letting her leave. Sora bit her lip and looked up into Matt's wonderfully blue eyes. He looked away as she left him standing there.

And as she left the school behind…she felt like she had been the bad guy. Matt was trying to apologize. But you just won't listen, She told herself.

She looked at the white door. It was closed and the bass from the music inside vibrated the ground. Sora wasn't sure if she should enter. It was Cassidy's party. Cassidy invited her. But Matt would be there.

Slowly, Sora turned the doorknob and walked into the three-story manor. Cassidy greeted her with a smile and a hug. Sora smiled at her "friend".

"Sora, I'm so glad you could make it. I thought you wouldn't come after…you know…Matt stood you up for his friends. I told him to go, but he said the football game was more important," Cassidy spoke. Sora nodded.

For some odd reason, Sora believed Cassidy. "Yeah, well, it was the shortest friendship I've ever had. You just have to make it through the hard times to become strong," Sora commented. Cassidy smiled and walked with her into the large living room.

Everyone was dressed in white or blue. The school colors. Cassidy wore a blue mini-skirt and a white button up blouse with white flip-flops. She looked like a preppy girl from hell. Sora smiled at her on thought.

Sora felt comfortable in velvet blue gym pants and a white tank top with a jacket that matched the pants, zipped up a little bit. Her hair was in a cute, lovely looking ponytail. Every guy watched her instead of Cassidy.

Sora walked down the stairs that led into the game room. The wooden floor was so smooth and so clean she could see her reflection below. She smiled and ran her hand across the banister on the wall as she made her way through the glass doors and outside towards the pool.

Matt stood next to the hot tub, which was hidden in a cave covered with fake rocks. The steam went through him so easily. Sora sighed and walked pass everyone as she eyed Matt, making sure he wasn't moving.

As she approached, his friends left and Matt turned to her. She gave him a fake smile and walked closer. He smiled.

"I thought you weren't listening to me…" He began. Sora raised and eyebrow.

"What makes you think I am? Cassidy told me what happened," Sora commented. Matt sighed a sigh of relief. Maybe the two could start over.

"Really? She did?" Matt questioned…shocked. Sora nodded and walked even closer, grasping the collar of his white shirt in her gentle hands.

"Yeah…" Sora whispered. Matt leaned closer. For some reason, Sora made him weak that night. He wanted her. He felt strong for her. "And I'm sorry…"

"Sora, don't…"

"I'm sorry that I ever agreed to go out with you. I'm sorry that I ever met you. And I'm sorry I had to move here," She sneered. Sora pulled herself away from Matt and backed away. Matt was bewildered. Cassidy was lying. He knew she had to be.

Sora began walking away. Suddenly, she stopped and Matt felt a small pinch of relief. She turned around as he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"Oh, yeah…I'm sorry I ever fell in love with you," She finished. Matt felt his world break into a million pieces. His soul was drowning in the tears he was crying on the inside. His heart wasn't beating. His breathing caught in his throat. He heard his own thoughts at that moment…

He was in love with Sora Takenouchi.

I'm Not The Only

Feeling Lonely

I Try To Say Something

But End Up With Nothing

Every time You smile

Angels Cry

Every Time You Walk On By

I'm such a fool

Cause this love is true

And If I don't tell you

Someone else sure will

Everywhere I turn

I see your face

Reminding Me of A Higher place

Angels Cry
Every time You Walk On By

A/n: So, tell me what you think.

I hope you really enjoyed.
