I'm with you

Chapter 7: A not so normal morning

By: Lily Maxwell

~*~ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ~*~ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ~*~

On Monday, Mimi was very anxious. She knew, when she was walking to school, that she was going to meet Matt there. Since, after all, he was the new guy in their class. She did not know how she would act around him, even though he was now, her friend

That, of course, did not change the fact that they kissed passionately in that rainy night, but it did change the fact that he was not a stranger to her anymore. And that sure helped things out.

When Mimi was just a few blocks away from school, she heard someone calling her out. Looking around, Mimi spotted her best, and once only friend, Yolei. She ran towards her, and when she hugged the taller girl, Mimi almost fell over. Yolei sure was a strong girl.

"Easy, Miya-chan! We don't wanna fall, do we?" Mimi asked, and Yolei laughed, blushing in embarrassment, then nodded. "So, how've you been this weekend? Thinking too much on Ichijouji?" Mimi asked with a laugh, noticing the red on Yolei's cheek deepen.

"You could say so... But, how're you feeling?" Yolei asked, and Mimi ran around her, then stopped and jumped a little. Yolei giggled, and Mimi grinned.

"I'm just fine now." She replied winking, and Yolei nodded.

"What about the stranger? Found him already?" Yolei asked with a sarcastic grin, but she failed to notice Mimi's grin.

"Yes, I did." Mimi answered simply and quickly, and it took Yolei a few minutes to realize her answer, and register it properly in her head.

"You... WHAT?!" she exclaimed at last, making a few passers to look strangely at the two girls, and Mimi sweatdropped.

"Gee, Miya... You didn't have to yell, you know?" Mimi whispered, as both friends continued to walk towards Odaiba High.

"But-but... Why haven't you called me earlier?! Now, you've kept me curious for too long!!" Yolei complained, and Mimi rolled her eyes. "Now tell me, when did you meet him?"

"On Saturday." Mimi answered, smiling. That day was really funny.

"Awwwww, how cute!" her friend pointed, seeing her smile. "So, it was good, huh? Meeting him again, and such..." Mimi nodded. "But... you found out his name now, didn't you?" she nodded again. "And...?"

"Well, you see, you know him..." Mimi said, and Yolei's eyes widened.

"WHAT?! Are you nuts?! But-but..." she smiled brightly. "And who is he? Who, who?" she kept asking, just as they entered the school gates.

"Hello, girls. How've been?" asked a handsome voice behind them, and both girls turned around, meeting the aqua-like eyes of Ishida.

"Hey there, Yamato." Yolei said not so enthusiastically.

"Hey Matt!!" Mimi exclaimed happily to him, and he smiled to her. "I'm fine, and I see that the guys did spare your life?" she joked, and he chuckled.

"Yeah, guess so. Bringing you to the practice did help them forgive me..." Matt confessed, nodding. "But never to be late again, nuh-uh, never..." Mimi giggled.

"Yeah, Carlos looks dangerous." She said, and he nodded.

"Well, I gotta talk to Tai now, I'll see you later?" he asked, and she nodded. Then Matt waved, and Mimi turned to a blinking Yolei. She giggled.

"Don't tell me...?" she whispered, and Mimi grinned. How funny was her shocked face.

"Yup, Matt's da guy." She answered winking. Yolei let out a surprised squeak, and she jumped. Mimi sweatdropped.

She can be really weird sometimes.

~ ~ ~

Oh, great, great, great, great!! Matt's mind screamed. Spend more time with her! More than half of my day I'll be with her now!

You've never liked school so much, eh Ishida?

Oh no, never. He smirked.

Walking over towards Tai, Matt was stopped when someone jumped on him. He cried out in surprise, and when he noticed who had done it, he almost screamed in fear.

It's the MONSTER!!

"Hello, hello Yama-kun!!" the 'monster' said cheerfully, and tightened her grip. Matt held a squeak.

"Go. Away." He managed to say, while holding the need to shake his body, make the 'monster' fall, step on 'it', scream in delight, jump up and up, and grin victoriously. Of course he just didn't actually did that because they were in school, and people would, maybe, take pity on such a poor horrible and ugly creature.

"Aww, I know you don't want it!!" the 'monster' said, and rubbed her cheek (A/N: THE MONSTER HAD A CHEEK!) on his arm. Matt held a very disgusted and freaked out face.

"I do want!!" he managed to say easily. The 'monster' pouted.

~ ~ ~

"Hey, isn't that Motomiya?" Yolei asked, when she looked around, finding a girl holding on Yamato. Mimi turned and saw her, and held the urge to scream some incoherent and threatening things at the girl.

"My, what's she doing to him?" Mimi asked in disbelief.

"I gotta call Davis!" Yolei turned around and ran, just to bump on someone.

When the lavender haired girl looked up to see who she had bumped into, she blushed. And her friend, Mimi, grinned. A boy with dark-blue hair and blue eyes was there on the ground, just a few centimeters away from her.

"Oh, my, Ken! I'm so sorry!" Yolei apologized quickly, and helped the boy to his feet. He smiled at her, and shook his head.

"It's no problem, Yolei, but... what's the hurry?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

"That is." Mimi pointed to where the 'monster' was still holding Matt.

"Jesus! Gotta call Davis in quickly!" the boy said, and Yolei nodded.

"Any idea where he is?" she asked, and the boy looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Well, I thought he was with Tai..." he finally managed to say, and Mimi hurried towards the spiked-haired boy.

She passed by Matt, and the boy got glimpse of her. He looked at her pleading, she gave him a thumb up, and he just blinked.

Finally managing to get near the boy, Mimi was panting. Tai saw her, and hurried to her side. She just smiled at her, and looked at other boy. He had dark-red hair, and brown eyes. He, strangely enough, wore goggles, and had this big grin on his face most of the time. Next to him was a girl with crimson-colored hair, and light-blue eyes. They all looked at Mimi.

"What's up, Meems? What's the hush?" Tai asked, and she turned to the other boy.

"I need your help, Davis." She just said, and the boy blinked.

"Eh? What for, Mimi?" he asked, but the girl next to him looked behind Mimi, and noticed the problem.

"Uh... Dai-kun? I guess you could help Tai's friend over there..." she said, and he looked at her.

"Who, Claire?" he asked, and Mimi and her motioned to Matt.

"By Neptune! That dude's gotten himself into the worst trap of Jun's! The 'Motomiya's Death-Grip Jump'!" he said, and everyone sweatdropped. He ran towards the two, and everybody followed.

"Jun, get offa him RIGHT NOW!" he told his older sister, and she looked at him. She stuck her tongue out at him, and ignored him. Davis sighed. "You'll be able to have me as a slave for a week."

The girl grinned widely, and let go of Yamato. She patted Davis on his head, and literally waltzed inside the school. Matt sighed in relief, and looked sympathetically at Davis, who was pouting.

"Your sacrifice wasn't in vain, my fellow friend." Matt said, with his hand on his chest.

"Aww, poor Davis!" the blue-eyed girl said, hugging him. He nodded sadly, and everyone walked into the building.

"Why was she hugging you, Matt?" Mimi asked, once everyone was very away from them.

"I've gotten myself a personal stalker." He sighed heavily, and glared at the nothing. "Apparently, Jun Motomiya loves my band and myself for that matter, so she has taken as her main duty stalk and hug me around." He said, sniffing.

Mimi couldn't help but feel sympathy towards him. Having Jun as a stalker shouldn't be something funny or good. Not even in a thousand years. She placed her arm around his shoulders, and he looked at her surprised. She just smiled, and he smiled too soon after. They both entered the building together.
