Perfect picture (chapter 3)
The next day, Davis seamed much happier. He was smiling, and chatted with some kids from his class. He wasn't goofing around though, and it earned him some strange looks from his fellow classmates, and also from his teachers. He was paying attention (also it seemed) and they didn't have to warn him.
During the second lesson, Davis felt like someone was watching him. When he turned he saw that Yolie (A/N: See!! I did it right this time!! ^____^) was glaring at him. He smiled at her, and waved. Then he turned his attention back to the teacher.
At lunch-break, he was greeted warmly by Tai and Matt. They where always the first to arrive. Davis didn't know how they did it, but they where always there when he arrived.
"So, how is our great artist doing today?" Tai asked. Davis smiled. "Much better, thanks to you two." Their conversation ended there, because the rest of the gang had arrived at the table.
When they all where eating, it was unusually quiet. To break the silence, Matt asked: "So Takeru… any idea what you're gonna draw for that contest?" T.K. nodded. "Yeah… I was thinking of drawing Angemon or something…"
"Oh, that's really nice…" Matt said, and Kari nodded. "It sure is." Then Tai turned to Davis. "He Dai! You wanna go play soccer this afternoon?"
"I would love to, but I can't." Davis replied. "I'm going to Tamachi, to see Ken." "Oh, that's nice. Tel him we said hi. What about tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sounds fine to me. And I will." The rest of the day went by rather quickly, and pretty soon, Davis was sitting in the train, on his way to Tamachi.
On his lap he had his sketchbook, and he was making quick little sketches. He knew what he was gonna draw, but not how. Maybe Ken could help him…
Davis liked to go to Ken. He was one of the few people who didn't judge him on his behaviour, and looked beyond his mask of happiness.
Ken wasn't surprised when Davis told him he would enter a drawing contest. "I suspected that you would do something artistic… You're always so creative…" Davis blushed a bit, and smiled.
"You know, I finally decided what to draw, but I don't know how to draw it…. Or should I say, draw them…" Ken quirked an eyebrow at him, and Davis laughed.
"Wait, I made some quick sketches. I'll show you what I'm talking about…" He dived in his bag, and pulled out his sketchbook. He skimmed through the drawings until he found what he was looking for.
"Here…" he handed Ken the sketchbook. Ken looked at them, and his eyes widened slightly. "Dai… these are really, really good… they look exactly alike… Do they know you're planning on drawing them?"
Davis grinned. "No, they don't know. It's a surprise." Ken grinned to, and looked at the drawings again. "Hmmm… I like these two very much… Can't you combine them somehow?"
Davis grabbed a pencil from his bag, and Ken handed him the sketchbook back. Davis stared at the two sketches Ken had pointed out to him. Suddenly his eyes started to glitter, and he started to draw.
Ken watched, fascinated, as Davis let his pencil glide over the paper. It amazed him how easy Davis make it seem to look. Within minutes, he had made a new sketch. He looked at it, and sighted, satisfied.
Ken took the sketchbook again, and stared at the new sketch. After a few minutes, he whispered: "Beautiful… Dai, this is just wonderful…" Davis blushed again.
"You really got talent Dai. But what made you decide to enter the contest? I thought you wanted to be a professional soccer player?"
"Yeah… I wanted to… but not anymore. I still like to play soccer, but I think I like drawing better…" He looked at Ken. "Do you think that's weird?"
Ken shook his head. "No, not at all…" Davis sighted, and looked past Ken, out of the window. "I think the others think it's weird… except for Taichi and Yamato…"
Ken looked up, surprised. "What makes you think such a thing?" "Well… Takeru saw me fill in a form to enter the contest. He's in it to, you know. But anyway, he told the rest, and Yolie started to shout that I couldn't draw… She doesn't know what she's talking about."
Ken nodded, and looked at Davis closely. "There's something else bothering you, isn't there?" Davis nodded, slowly, and looked up.
"I was tired of them laughing at me, and never taking me serious… I know it's my own fault. I was always acting all goofy and stuff. But I couldn't take it anymore. So I talked to Taichi and Yamato. I told them I didn't used to be such a loudmouth, and I said I didn't want to be one anymore. So they told me to just be myself… they didn't mind… But I think the others do…"
Ken had listened silently all the time, and nodded in understanding. "Why do you think the others mind?"
"Well, now that I don't goof around anymore, and actually pay attention in class, they look all funny at me, and Yolie's even mad at me. She's glaring the whole time…"
"Well…" Ken said, "Did you tell them?" Davis looked up, confused. "Tell them what?"
"Why you changed. They might think that you're keeping secrets, or something like that…"Davis looked surprised at first, then a small smile crept up his face.
"Yeah, you're right… as usual… I have to talk to them…" Ken smiled back. "Yeah, I think you do…"
It was silent for a while. Then Ken stood up, and grabbed his soccer ball. "Wanna play? I bet I'll beat you!" Davis jumped up. "Oh no, you won't! I'll beat you!"
And laughing and joking they went outside…
