Konnichiwa Minna-san! Yes it is I...Emilie! Ok well, I'm changing my name. First my name was never actually Emilie...it's Emile, but now I prefer to use my Japanese name.....~*Emiru*~! Mwhahahaha!!! Don't u like it? From now on I will be known as Emiru Yagami, cuz personally i think it has a nice ring to it....*ding* See? can't u hear the nice ring? ok...maybe that was a bit off topic, but oh well.....

My life pretty much sux right now....my parents are still going through a divorce and they're pretty much playing a game of Tug-O-War with me....Truthfully tho....i'd rather live with my mom... (I'm getting a new laptop if i move with her! YAY! ^_^). My grades have been dropping @ a steady rate (ironically...Language Arts has the lowest grade...) and there's this guy....v_v....

I absolutely adore him....but he said that he'll never go out with me b-cuz we're such great (not good...GREAT!) friends, that i'm practically his little sister. And he said that in some ways that would be incest, and if we did go out and then break-up, he wouldn't want to lose me as one of his friends.......I know that in some ways it's sweet.....but he's like friends WITH EVERY SINGLE GIRLFRIEND HE'S HAD!!! We're like best friends and truthfully... nothing would really change if we went out (except i'll say..."benefits" ^_^ and everyone already thinks we're going out cuz we sooooo act like it), but i would just like to have the feeling that i know he's mine and mine alone...

I know you guys probably don't care about this....but a lot of my feelings for him are the inspiration for this story...just thought you'd like to know...

Oh yeah and the title is just something I came up with when me and my best girl friend (ever!) we're taking these quizzes on what type of friends we were. We took 2...one said we were school buddies (apparently we're not close enough to be 'best buds')....and the other said we would be friends for life! so we thought it was pretty funny....

Ok....this story is dedicated to an author who I admire cuz I did go through what she did. I was just lucky that I have wonderful friends and not some inconsiderate.....i'll say 'meanies'....as friends like she had. This is for Aero-Grrl.......enjoy! ^_^

-School Buddy For Life- part 1

Taichi's POV-

Everyday he'd be waiting for me by my locker. Staring into space, until he would notice I was approaching and then a smile would appear from his usual straight, but perfectly formed face.

We'd have a small conversation before the bell would ring, and even though it may have seemed childish, we always wrote notes to each other. For some reason we never-ever ran out of stuff to talk about. He was my best friend, and I was his. Nothing more and nothing less, and that's how it would always be.

But I wish it weren't that way. He was the only person that could make my heartbeat go fast and slow at the same time. I always felt that I was in complete charge of my life, thoughts and emotions, but the undeniable feelings I had towards him we're the only things I couldn't control.

Though we saw each other almost every single day, we never grew tired of each other, and I especially never grew tired of him. No one ever saw him smile the way I did. It made me feel special that I was the only one that could make him smile like that.

"You know, you have the most contagious smile Taichi..."

He would always tell me, but his was worse. Just a small hint of a grin from him and I'd begin to smile from ear to ear. I just couldn't help it. Maybe it was because it was so rare or because it was cute, but I just couldn't help it. I had that foolish smile on my face right now and Yamato laughed.

"I'll see you in 45 minutes..." He waved and smiled as he began to open hte door to his class.

"If I can survive in the 'Kingdom Of Boredom' for that long..."

"Seriously Tai, History is not that bad."

"Whatever. C' ya!"

I watched Yamato close his classroom door behind him as I began to walk a few more doors down the hall to hear another lecture on a bunch of dead people I don't even care about...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I sat down in my assigned seat, which was in the far corner. It was easy to ignore the teacher in that spot. I would always pretend to take notes when I was actually writing to Yamato. Today was just like any other.

"Today's lesson is on the Ancient Romans, now will everyone please take out a sheet of paper and begin copying the notes on the overhead..."

I rolled my eyes and took out a sheet of paper to write a note to Yamato:

Matt, What's up? I hate History. How can you stand it? It's so boring and I mean, I see Mr. Thirn's mouth moving, but all I hear is blah, blah, blah!

Gym is definitely better than History. But then again, maybe it's just me? I hate listening to these lectures about people who didn't do anything except ,"Oh my God!", invent a round thing called a wheel.

So, what are you doing this weekend? Me, nothing except I have a game on Saturday, oh wait, tomorrow's Saturday. Heh. Well, you wanna see a movie or something? Never mind, we'll end up talking about this at lunch or on the phone. I'm such a moron. Better go, Mr. Thorn is looking at me funny.

-Taichi

P.S. I'm finally passing History, I got a D!

Just as the bell rang and Mr. Thorn turned the overhead off, I folded up the note. Actually it was more like I sorta crumpled the note, but that's besides the point. I tried to sneak out the door since I was almost positive he caught me this time. I began to walk out the door when I heard him call my name,

"Mr. Yagami, may I have a word?"

I groaned as I approached his desk and he began to speak,

"Taichi, I noticed you're mind has been drifting lately and you're not really paying attention in my class."

"No shit..." I mumbled to myself.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"Well, I just don't want you to fail, and I'm sure that you wouldn't want to be ineligible for the big soccer tournament in 2 weeks."

I rolled my eyes in disbelief and then I asked,

"Mr. Thorn...is it soccer season right now?"

"Yes."

"Well then, you should know that as long as it's soccer season, I won't fail, trust me."

I walked out of the classroom and sighed in relief when I saw Yamato waiting for me.

"Another talk about your grades?"

He asked as he handed me my Language Arts notebook and exchenged notes with me.

"Yeah, they treat me like I'm some type of idiot."

"But that's because you are..."

I glared at him as he laughed. We finally parted ways again, this time to different halls. Even though we had the same subject this period, we had different teachers. Damn Yamato being good at Language Arts, if only he were average like me we'd be in the same class.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I walked into the room just as the final echoes of the bell rang through the school. I sat down in my seat which was surrounded by other idiot jocks like me, adn I looked up to see we had a substitute today. The class was psyched to have a sub today, but my mind was on the note that I began to unfold. It read:

Tai, Hey! How's your so called 'Kingdom Of Boredom'? Hopefully it's not boring. Just Kidding.

Sucks that we don't have more classes together this year. At least we have 3 though, better than none! So, what are you planning this weekend? My band has a gig at 8 o'clock, but other than that I'm totally free. We could go out or something.

Crap, the teacher's giving us work. Gotta cut this note short bud, sorry. Well, I'll see you next period.

-Yamato

As I finished reading the note the girl behind me said,

"Ooo...is that a note from your girlfriend?"

"No, and it isn't any of your business anyway Kimi, so just leave me alone."

"Oooo!" she squealed, "It must be from a girl if you're so touchy about the subject."

"It's not from a girl, it's from Yamato! Now can you please mind your own business."

"Fine, but you didn't have to be so snooty...hmmph."

Even though i knew I was being rude, I was glad she was leaving me alone. We're watching a movie anyway, something about Mark Twain or I dunno. As usual my mind was elsewhere and soon all the talk about Tom Finn or Huckleberry Sawyer or whatever their names are dulled me to sleep...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was watching a movie, I'm not sure what movie, but there was someone sitting next to me. I looked up to the face to find a pair of familiar, glinting blue eyes.

"You like the movie Taichi?"

I nodded in agreement as he turned his attention back to the screen.

"What movie are we watching again?" I asked.

"My Best Friend's Wedding, why?"

"No reason, just wondering."

My Best Friend's Wedding? Why a freaking chick-flick? And why this one? Talk about cruel irony. I was just plain confused. I had a million thoughts running through my mind, until they were suddenly interrupted.

At that moment Yamato held my hand and I jumped at first, but then I got used to the feeling of his palm in mine. I felt a bit awkward and I could tell I was blushing, but it got worse when he put his arm around me. I leaned into his warm embrace and sighed in satisfaction. I knew if I died now, I'd be okay with it because I was happy. We laughed at the movie and just when it was about to end I noticed he was watching me.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing...you're just, never mind."

"Please tell me Matt, I wanna know."

"You're just....too cute Tai." He smiled.

I felt the heat rush to my face again and then I saw his face turn pink as well. He laughed sarcastically and said,

"Tai, there's something wrong with your face, it's all pink."

"I wouldn't be talking, yours is too."

We laughed at each other and then it went silent.

"Umm....what now Matt? The movie's over."

"Umm... I guess we could...."

Yamato then began to lean in and in my head, I panicked. My heartrate shot through the roof and the beats were so loud I couldn't even hear myself think. I started to breathe heavier. Inch by inch he got closer until I could feel his breath. Right when we were about to kiss, my substitute teacher showed up.

"Class Dismissed," she chirped as she turned the lights back on, "Have a great weekend!"

At that second the whole scene faded away and I got a cold shot of reality. I was still in school and I had fallen asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I lifted my head and I noticed a small puddle of drool on my desk. They turned the lights on and I repulsed to the brightness.The seats around me were empty and I got up and walked out to the crowded hall.

"It was a dream... a stupid, silly little dream." I mumbled, "A stupid, silly dream that I wish was true..."

Step by step I passed by the rows of lockers and couples making-out before class. I was still in a state of shock. I mean, it's not like I haven't dreamt about Yamato before, I admit I even had a "wet" dream about him before, but I never imagined I would have one in school. It kept replaying in my head, over and over until Yamato came up to me.

"What took you so long? It was like you died or something..."

"I just fell asleep."

"Again? God Tai, you know you could actually learn something if you paid attention for once."

"I know I could learn something, but everything you really need to know in life, you learn in 1st grade..."

"What?" Yamato replied and gave me a weird look.

"Well you see..."

"You know what Taichi? Just forget it. Let's just go to lunch and not worry about school or anything except for what we're gonna do this weekend, okay?"

"I'm fine with that."

We walked to the cafeteria that was already filled with people. I scanned the huge room for a place to sit, when I noticed Sora waving us down.

"Hey you guys! Over here!!" She yelled flailing her arms about.

"Great....." he uttered.

"Yeah....great."
