Love In the School Air

By: Wendy Siu

Subject: Digimon Fanfic

Type: Romance - Matt/ Mimi/ Tai

Classification: PG-13

Description: This story takes place in Odaiba, Japan at the brand new Odaiba High School. It mainly involves the older Digidestined: Matt, Mimi, Tai, and Sora. They are just starting high school and some of them don't know each other yet. Anyway, this story is about how Matt and Tai both fall in love with Mimi, and she has to choose who she likes better.

Sora and Mimi know each other. All the guys know each other. The guys don't know the girls yet.

For the first chapter, I'm going to make it so that each character has their own POV on the events of getting ready for the first day of school. So, don't be confused if one character is in the car and then gets to school, and I talk about another character next doing the same things at the same time! I'll do Mimi's POV, Sora's POV, Matt's POV, and then Tai's POV. Each character will experience the trauma of getting ready for the first day of school, except in their own scenarios!
Chapter 1: The First Day

It was the first day of high school for the Digidestined. They were all nervous, as it was their first time being in a high school and they didn't know many people. Also, since this high school was brand new and had just opened that year, there were not many students yet. Since this new school was so big, it was unlikely that you would be in the same classes as your old school friends.

*~*~*~*~Mimi~*~*~*~*

"Thanks for giving me a ride daddy, I'm so nervous about the first day of school," Mimi said.

"Don't worry, you'll do fine, and besides, some of your friends from Odaiba Junior High are going here, aren't they?" her dad asked.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure if we'll all be in the same classes," Mimi replied.

"Don't worry princess, you'll make so many new friends that you won't be able to keep track of them all," he said.

"I hope so," Mimi replied nervously.

"You will, how can my beautiful daughter not make any new friends? I bet that everyone will be lining up to get a chance to meet you," he said.

"Oh, daddy, you're so silly, but thanks for the attempt to make me forget about the nervousness I'm feeling," Mimi said laughingly

"Well, you never know, it might be true," her dad said.

Mimi giggled, "Daddy, you're the best at cheering people up,"

"I know," he solemnly replied as he pulled into the school parking lot. "Anyway, we're here now, so good luck on your first day of school princess!"

"Okay, thanks daddy, I'll see you after school, okay?" said Mimi as she nervously straightened her tank top, making sure that she looked good.

"Okay princess, do you want me to come pick you up? Or are you going to hang out with some of your friends after school?" her dad asked.

"Well, it depends on how much homework I have, though I seriously doubt that the teachers would give a lot of homework on the first day of school. Anyway, I'll call you on my cell if I want you to come pick me up, okay?" she asked.

"That's fine, see you after school," and with that remark, Mimi got out of the car and her dad drove off to work.

Mimi looked around nervously at all the students entering the school. They all seemed nervous too about being in high school. She looked around and hoped that her outfit made a good impression on her fellow students. She was wearing a pink tank top that said *~Princess~* on it, which showed her flat stomach, along with her favourite blue jean jacket. On her feet were sparkling blue platforms which complimented her low-rise flare jeans nicely. Her hazel-colored hair was left flowing onto her shoulders. She looked quite pretty leaning against the brick wall, as she waited for her friend Sora to get to school.

Many guys who passed by her checked her out and gave her a look of approval. However, she didn't pay very much attention to them because she was too busy wondering when her friend was going to get to school. Also, none of the guys that checked her out appealed to her taste very much.

However, she found one guy that was continually staring at her. This guy had blond, gelled hair. He wore a black, tight T-shirt that showed off his nice muscles, and a pair of baggy blue jeans. Whenever she looked his way, he would turn his face to the other side and pretend that he was looking at something else.

"Wow, this guy's pretty cute," Mimi murmured to herself, "too bad he's not going to introduce himself." After a while, the guy still didn't come talk to her, so Mimi gave up, and continued to look for Sora.

Soon, more people started arriving at the school, and Mimi became more nervous about her first day. She started shifting from side to side as she couldn't stand still anymore. She was getting very impatient also.

"Where is Sora when you need her!" Mimi thought, becoming frustrated. "She said that she'd get to school early so that we could hang out together and introduce ourselves to some new people before school started, school's going to start in 10 minutes!"

"I'm going to kill Sora when I see her at lunch today," Mimi thought angrily, "If she doesn't come soon, I'm not waiting for her anymore."

Mimi waited for 5 more minutes and still didn't see any sign of Sora. She sighed, "I guess I'd better go find my homeroom. I don't want to be late on my first day. If Sora is late then that's her problem, but I do wonder why she is late? She usually is on time."

Mimi went inside the school and searched for her name on the lists posted up by the office. "Tachikawa, Mimi," she muttered as she searched down the list of T's. "Taber" "Tabilo" "Tachen" "Ahh! There I am, Tachikawa, Mimi. My homeroom is Room # 237. What! 237!? I'd better go search for it now! It's upstairs!" With that remark, Mimi walked away from the office, and jogged up the stairs looking for her homeroom as there was only 5 minutes left until classes started.

Meanwhile.......... *~*~*~*~Sora's POV*~*~*~*~

"SORA!! WAKE UP!" Sora's mom yelled from downstairs.

"Huh? What time is it" Sora groaned as glanced over at her alarm clock. "WHAT!!!! IT'S ALREADY 7:50??? I'M GOING TO BE SO LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!" she yelled, jumping out bed, and rushing to the bathroom to take a very quick 2- minute shower to wake herself up. After getting ready in bathroom, she ran back to her room to find suitable clothes to wear for the first day of school.

"Now where did I put those jeans?" she muttered, impatiently tossing one pair of jeans after another as she dug in her messy closet for clothes to wear to school. "Ahh.found them!" she declared, pulling her jeans as well as a tight blue t-shirt out of her closet.

"SORA? ARE YOU READY YET?" Sora's mom yelled irritably.

"Yeah mom! I'm coming downstairs now!" Sora yelled back with a final brush of her hair. She gave herself one last look in the mirror to check if she looked okay, and then rushed downstairs to greet her mom.

"Sora, do you have any idea what time it already is?" Sora's mom asked, pointing to their clock.

Sora gasped, "It's already 8:00? I'm going to be extremely late for school unless you give me a drive mom."

Sora's mom sighed, "Well, I am really busy, and I have to get to work soon, but since it's your first day of school, I'll give you a ride today," she said.

"Thanks mom! I really appreciate it!" Sora declared.

"You better," Sora's mom said, "Now hurry up and eat your breakfast on the table. I won't drive you to school unless you get a healthy breakfast"

"Aww.mom, I don't have time to eat breakfast, I'll be late for school if I do!" Sora complained.

"Well, you'll most likely be a little late for school whether you like it or not, and it's your own fault for getting up so late, so hurry up and eat your breakfast," Sora's mom replied.

"Fine," Sora said grumpily as she sat down to eat her scrambled eggs, toast, and orange juice. She quickly choked down her scrambled eggs, took 2 bites of her toast, and drained down her glass of orange juice in 2 minutes. "I'm ready to go!" she declared after she had swallowed everything in her mouth.

"Well, you sure finished your breakfast quick," Sora's mother said skeptically, "But since you're ready, let's go."

"Finally," Sora thought as she grabbed her schoolbag and purse, and then followed her mother out to the car.

Sora's mother had got the ignition started on the car even before Sora got in the car. "Now put on your seatbelt, and get ready for a ride you'll never forget," Sora's mom said as Sora got into the front seat of the car.

"Uh oh," Sora thought as her mom raced out of the driveway and drove way over the speed limit to get Sora to school. They reached the school in 3 minutes, as it really wasn't that far from Sora's house, but still would take at least 20 minutes if Sora were walking.

"There you go," Sora's mom said as she drove Sora to the front door of the school, "and it's only 8:08, so you still have time left to find your homeroom class."

"Thanks so much mom!" Sora said happily, as she got out of the car, "Now I don't have to worry about being late that much." Sora's mom smiled, "Now what time will you be home today?" she asked.

"Umm.well, I don't know if Mimi and I might be doing anything after school today, but I'll call you when I get home, okay?" Sora replied.

"Okay then, have a nice day at school Sora!" Sora's mom said.

"I will," Sora promised, and then walked into the front door of her new high school. As soon as she stepped in the door, she was overwhelmed by how big the school was, but quickly ran to the homeroom lists to see where her homeroom was.

"Hmm.let me see where my homeroom is," she muttered, as her eyes poured down the list of T's. "Tajoune" "Takan" "Takenaya" "Oh, there I am, Takenouchi, Sora. My homeroom is.237. What!? 237? Wait a minute, that's upstairs, how am I ever going to find my homeroom before the bell? It rings in 2 minutes!" Sora exclaimed, as she ran up the stairs to find her homeroom.

Sora ran down the hall, trying to find her classroom, but soon realized that she was at the wrong end of the school. Then the bell rang. "Ahh.I'm late!" she exclaimed, running towards the other end of the school as the morning announcements starting playing.

Meanwhile.......... *~*~*~*~Matt's POV*~*~*~*~

"I better hurry up, otherwise I'm going to be late for school today," Matt thought, as he took a quick, cold shower.

After his shower, he got out, and put on a pair of jeans, and a black T- shirt that showed off his muscles. He then ran to his room to get his hair gel, and also checked the time. It read 7:45. "Great, I still have plenty of time to gel my hair and get to school," he said out loud as he walked back to the bathroom to gel his hair.

When he was finished with his hair, he put the can of gel into his school bag, and rushed downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Good morning Matt," Matt's dad said as soon as Matt came downstairs.

"Morning, dad," Matt replied, as he went and made breakfast for himself.

"Today's the first day of high school Matt," Matt's dad said conversationally.

"Yeah," Matt replied as he started to eat his buttered toast. He finished the toast, and then started to eat his maple-flavored oatmeal. When he finished, he drained his entire glass of milk in one gulp, and then got up from the table. "See you, dad," Matt said, as he grabbed his school bag, "I've got to get to school now."

"Okay bye Matt, but are you sure you don't want a ride to school?" Matt's dad asked.

"Well, a ride would be great, but the school's not far, and a bit of exercise before school will do me good, so no thanks," Matt answered.

"Alright then, bye Matt," his dad said as Matt grabbed his wallet.

"Bye dad," Matt replied, closing the door of the apartment behind him. Then he started to jog to school, feeling the need for some exercise, even though he knew it would mess up his hair. Five minutes later, he reached the school. He glanced down at his watch, and found that it was only 7:55.

"Looks like I'll just wait here for Tai then," Matt muttered to himself, as he went to the front of the school.

Matt looked around to see if perhaps Tai was early for once, but saw no sign of Tai. However, his eyes quickly fixed on a very pretty girl with hazel-colored hair wearing a pink tank top that said *~Princess~* on it. He saw many other guys checking her out, and attempting to talk to her, but she paid no attention to them, but was always looking around. She seemed to be waiting for somebody.

Matt stared at her for a little while longer. He wanted to go talk to her and introduce himself, but he was too shy. "Besides, a girl of her taste and caliber would never go out with a person like me," he thought.

Soon, the girl went inside the school. However, she looked angry at something, and said something that sounded like "stupid Sora," Matt wondered why she was angry, and realized that this Sora person had probably arranged to meet her, but was late.

This quickly brought his attention back to Tai and the time, so Matt checked his watch, and found that it was already 8:03.

"Tai's late," he muttered out loud to himself, "but he's lucky there was that girl to preoccupy myself with, otherwise I'd probably be angrier."

Matt glanced casually around the school, and found that it was a really nice school. "I'm glad that I'll go to school here," he thought, "and maybe that cute girl I saw earlier will be in one of my classes if I'm lucky."

Soon, Matt got tired of looking at the school, and glanced at his watch again. It read 8:05. "Tai's officially 5 minutes late now," he complained, "I'm going to kill him, if he doesn't show up in 1 minute."

Meanwhile.......... *~*~*~*~Tai's POV*~*~*~*~

"Tai! Tai! TAI!" Tai's sister Kari yelled, while trying to get him to wake up.

"Huh? What do you want Kari?" Tai asked groggily, as he glanced over at his fuming little sister.

"I've been calling you for like 2 minutes already!" Kari replied angrily.

"Oh sorry Kari, I didn't hear you," Tai said.

"Well, of course you didn't! You were sleeping like a pig!" Kari exclaimed, "but anyways, you have to get up now. It's time for school and you don't want to be late for your first day of high school!"

"Oh, right," Tai said as he reluctantly pulled himself out of bed, "I guess I had better get ready then."

"Okay then. I'll leave you to your own devices," Kari replied, closing the door to Tai's room as she left.

"Alright, school today.." Tai told himself, "I guess I should go wash up first." With that remark, Tai searched around his messy room for some clothes to wear on the first day of school, but found that his mom had already laid out an outfit for him to wear to school.

"Ahh.mom already got my clothes for me, let's see what she thinks I should wear then," Tai muttered as he pulled out the clothes that his mom had chosen for him to wear.

"Hmm.not too shabby," he said as he examined the clothes, "She chose my white shorts, and my favorite green T-shirt! Wow, mom knows her stuff!" Tai said, putting on the clothes, and then racing to the bathroom to find that Kari was busy inside getting ready for school.

"Hey Kari! Open up! I really have to go to the bathroom!" Tai yelled, banging on the door.

"Sorry Tai," came Kari's muffled voice from in the bathroom, "first come, first serve."

"Oh, come on Kari! I really need to go!" Tai complained, "and I'm going to be late for school!"

"Fine Tai," Kari replied, "I'll come out now, but only because I'm such a kind and generous person."

Tai snorted, "Sure whatever, thanks Kari," he said grinning, as Kari came out of the washroom to let Tai in.

"You're welcome Tai," Kari retorted, as she headed downstairs.

Tai then went into the bathroom, and started getting ready for school. However, he didn't take that long in the bathroom because he was extremely hungry and wanted to get down to breakfast faster. Soon, Tai came out of the bathroom, and rushed downstairs to the delicious smell of breakfast.

"Good morning Tai," Tai's mother said as Tai sat down at the table, "Today's the first day of high school, and I hope you're ready."

"Don't worry mom," Tai said as he chewed on his pancakes, and then took a big gulp of his milk, "I'll be fine."

"Okay then, but hurry up, it's already 7:50, you don't want to be late on your first day, do you?" Tai's mother asked.

"I'm hurrying!" Tai exclaimed, as he started on his last pancake. He poured maple syrup all over it, and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth. Then he took a last gulp of his milk, wiped his mouth, and got up from the table. "I'm ready to go!" he declared. "What? You're done your breakfast already?" Kari asked, amazed.

"Of course, I could eat even more if I wanted to, but I don't want to be late, and I promised Matt that I'd meet him at school at around 8:00 a.m." Tai replied.

"Sure, so you can check out girls," Kari taunted.

"Shut up Kari!" Tai said good-naturedly, "We're just going to hang out and meet some people before school starts, that's all."

"Sure." Kari replied.

"Ahh.whatever, I don't have time for this. Mom! Can you give me a ride to school now?" Tai asked.

"Okay Tai, grab your bag, and let's get going," Tai's mother replied.

"Sure mom!" Tai yelled, as he ran upstairs to grab his school bag. As soon as he found it in his cluttered room, he thundered down the stairs, and grabbed his wallet.

"Bye Kari!" Tai called, as he headed out the door.

"See you after school Tai!" Kari replied.

Five minutes later, Tai's mother arrived at the new high school, and reminded Tai before he got out of the car, to call if he was going to stay after school.

"Sure mom, I will, bye!" Tai said, as he spotted Matt, and ran off.

"Hey Matt, how's it going," Tai asked, "you're sure here early."

"Well, considering that we said to meet at 8:00, I don't think that I'm really that early, look at your watch," Matt retorted.

"Oh, it's already 8:05!" Tai exclaimed, "Sorry Matt, I guess I got up too late today, and Kari was hogging the bathroom."

"Ahh.don't worry about it," Matt replied.

"Great," Tai said grinning, "Now let's go see what homeroom were in, and then we'll go look for the cute girls in this school."

"You got it," Matt said, as they both ran off to check the homeroom lists.

Soon, Matt and Tai reached the foyer of the school where the homeroom lists were posted. Tai quickly searched for his name, and Matt did the same. "Let's see now.Kamiya.Kamiya," Tai muttered, as his eyes poured over the lists. "Ahh! There I am, Kamiya, Tai, my homeroom is 237."

Meanwhile, Matt was also looking for his homeroom, but was not muttering his last name out loud. Soon, he found it and was surprised to see that he was in the same homeroom as Tai. "Hey Tai, we're in the same homeroom, I got 237 too." Matt said.

"That's great!" Tai exclaimed.

"Yeah," Matt replied, "but 237 is upstairs, don't you think that we should try and find our homerooms first before we do anything else, Tai?"

"Well..I guess so," Tai said unconcernedly, "but I really wanted to introduce myself to some cute girls."

Matt snorted, and thought, "Well, it's not like they'd go for you anyway." Out loud, he said, "Well, finding our homeroom is more important, we don't want to be late on the first day, do we?"

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Tai replied, "Let's go." With that remark, Matt and Tai both started walking towards the stairway in search of their homeroom class.
