Chapter 1: Be Careful What You Wish For
~Kouji's POV~
So I'm sitting at the airport waiting for some foreign exchange student from America to arrive. I only know how she look-yeah it's a girl- because she sent me a photo of herself by e-mail.
She's good looking actually. She has long silver hair part her shoulders; misty silver eyes; and she's tall and thin, like a lot of girls I know.
"Plane 292 will be arriving in ten minutes."
Great was all I could really think.
Anyway, I bet she's like all the other girls. Every time I walk past her she'll batter her eye lashes and stuff, like all the other girls at school. Ugh, just the thought makes me sick.
Man, I wish she's nothing like that. How can I live with someone like that for the rest of the school year?
"Flight 292 has landed."
I watched as people spilled out of the airplane; some were running to family and friends, some went straight to the baggage pick-up; and others just stood there looking lost and confused.
I turned and saw the foreign exchange student head toward me. She was wearing a grey Nike sweat shirt with a hood, grey sweat pants and Nike cross-trainers. She didn't look anything close to prissy, which to me was a relief.
"Hi, I'm Kim. You're Kouji right?" she said this in a really hyper voice. She stared at me waiting for an answer.
"Yeah"
"K, I'll go get my luggage."
"I'll give you a hand."
"Whatever suits you."
Weird, does this girl have mood swings or something? First she's all hyper now she's all cold.
So I followed her and we got her luggage. She had three and I took two for her. She just raised her eyebrow at me.
What the heck?
We took a taxi to my house. Through out the whole trip we didn't talk to each other. I just looked out the window at the city lights. I was pretty tired because it was well past mid-night.
When we arrived at my house, we both dragged her luggage into the guest room. My parents welcomed her warmly in the living room and she thanked them for letting her stay at our house.
I was just leaning against the wall listening to them talk.
After that we went straight to bed. Well not exactly. I couldn't sleep either way. Tomorrow I would have to drag her along with me when I went out to hang out with my friends. Great, just what I need.
I finally fell asleep after a lot of tossing and turning.
The next morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I changed quickly and went down stairs. I looked in the kitchen and saw not my mom cooking but Kim. And next to her stirring the batter was a digimon!
"Oh I didn't hear you come down."
She shot a look at Gatomon. Automatically it purred like a regular kitten and jumped down from the counter.
"Err. this is my, err.cat. Yes, my cat."
She looked helplessly at me. I just nodded and sat sown quickly.
She placed a stack of pancakes in front of me and dashed back to the counter. I poured some syrup on it and ate.
So this girl is like other girls, she's bound to be prissy and later on become a house wife. Well the minute she starts battering her eyelashes or does something that's prissy I'm getting out of here.
There was only one thing about her though. She didn't dress like most girls. She was wearing a t-shirt that read 'If You Break My Heart I Don't Care; Cuz' I'm Better Off Without You' and Nike shorts.
The thing was she dressed reminded me of Asia.
After she ate I brought her over to the neighbor hood pool.
"Hey Kouji who's your friend?" Takuya roared over to me as Kim and I reached the water's edge.
"Hey Takuya, this is Kim. Kim that's Takuya, that's my brother Kouichi, that's J.P., and that's Zoeie."
"Nice to meet you, you new in town?" Takuya asked her earnestly.
"Yeah"
She climbed up on the diving board and jumped in. Everyone got soaked.
Takuya grabbed my foot and pulled me into the water.
So after swimming we went to get some food. I was still ignoring Kim and she did the same to me.
After lunch we decided to go play some soccer. But when we reached the field some jocks from my school were already there.
"Looks like we've got a field invasion," one of them laughed as they noticed us draw nearer.
"Yeah and they brought a new friend along."
As we reached them one said, "Minamoto, who's this?"
He reached over and grabbed Kim's ass.
She quickly slapped him and knocked him over.
"What the-"
"Fuck you too bastard."
"Hey no one does that to our friend and gets away with it."
"Oh really?"
Well she ended up beating them up. Then they ran away in a pack and we got the whole field to ourselves.
"Whoa"
"You said it"
And who knew she could play that well. Kim played every position and knew a lot of tricks.
How good she was at everything was starting to get on my nerves. She reminded me of Asia. Except Asia was nicer and more caring, not to mention Asia was twice as good as your average person in everything.
I know I wished she wouldn't be like all the other girls, but this; well she's a total tomboy. Asia was a bit of a tomboy but she was different. She had a heart that shown through the darkness no matter what. It just goes to show you be careful what you wish for.
