The days were growing really hot. And a brunette girl had finished wiping
sweat off her brows, and roamed the halls. The school bell had
rung, and the person she was expecting to meet didn't seem to be anywhere... A
girl with pigtails and freckles walked past her.
"Sora, you looking for Tai? He's behind the school, practicing soccer!"
And she walked off, with a shrill giggle. The brunette, apparently named
Sora, shook her head. Then, seeing a locker with the numbers
'3248', she removed her backpack, and shuffled
through.
"Aha!"
In her hand was a white envelope, decorated by gel pens. Different shapes and
swirls were all over it. But they seemed
to be in the right place. Hearing footsteps, she hurriedly pushed it into the
small slot, and ran for it.
A brunette, male, darker hair
than the female, looked quizzically at hasty figure. He walked over to the
locker the girl had
entered an envelope in and pulled it from the corner of the envelope. Slowly, it
was pulled out. The back read...
"To: Taichi, From: Anonymous (in the letter)"
In excitement, his hand immediately landed on the triangular flap. But something stopped him. 'I'll read at home...'
Sora's eyes widened, hearing something from the other line of the phone. A
chirpy, shrill voice
talked to the other line. And more feminine compared to hers.
"Really?"
"Yeah! He's so nice... Izumi-san..." the voice was very dreamy.
"Yeah, he's a genius... I wonder why he hasn't skipped a grade!"
"Y'know... I have a feeling that we're going to know each other more,"
As the girl on the other line said this, Sora was
looking outside the window with anxiety. I've never wanted mail this bad...
Not since I was invited in the boys' soccer team!
"Yeah... me too... Oh, mail's arrived, gotta go Mimi!"
"See ya Sora!"
The girl rushed out her room,
and out the door, just as her mother left the kitchen, rubbing her hands with a
towel.
Eyes widening in excitement, the girl whirled in a circle, her arms
spread out. It was hot, but quite fair with
the wind blowing. This influenced the girl to inhale deeply, eyes closed, and
exhale quite loudly. It sounded like
the wind itself. Then, she opened her eyes, and walked to the mailbox, opened it
up, and entered her house again.
Once she closed the door, she looked through the mail. Flipping
through, she saw most of the mail were for
her mother. Then, with hope, she looked at the last... and looked all over it.
Correction, all of the mail
belongs to her mother.
She looked at them with disappointment. Her mother left the kitchen, and
walked over to her. She eyes her mother's
concerned look. A look she'd usually give Taichi, being the active boy he was,
he could seriously hurt himself.
"Got any mail?" her mother teased, "You were in a rush!"
Her head dropped. And her knees bent slightly.
"They're all yours mom," her
voice was quite solid. There was a small, unnoticeable crack in the end.
Slowly, head still bowed, she made her way into her room. Her door made a loud
slam. Louder than how she usually
closed it.
At the Yagami residence, Taichi drank up all his milk
and scarffed down the plate of cookies. His little sister
looked at him with admiration.
"So you like my cookies Taichi-oniisan?"
"Uh.... Yeah. They were great!"
"You sound like you're in
a rush... What's wrong?" the little girl asked in a sweet, childish, naive
voice.
"I've gotten a letter in my locker."
"Oniisan has a secret admirer? I'd love to know her..." she said quietly, meekly.
Taichi looked at her strangely. As quick as a speeding bullet, he shot out from
the kitchen and arrived
in his messy room. His bed had clothes all over the top, his dirty clothes
basket with clothes spilling out, comic
books all over the floor, some chip wrappers, and a computer in a corner, with
two different towels on it.
"Home sweet, room home... Now... let's see..." his eyes
landed on his book bag.
He picked the envelope up from the front small pocket. He scratched on the
triangles tip, tore it off, and tossed it on his
floor, and sat in the middle of his room, the only place where anyone can move
around without any obstacles.
"Taichi-kun, it's me, Sora."
The boy burst into a wave of laughs. Then, with a happy sigh, dropped the letter and forgot about it.
A/n: Whew... Finally continued. Yup it is first
season! And I added some Kou/mi to this... why? I dunno.. and they still don't
know
each other well. It's also before summer, and their summer camp. And
about the lockers... I'm not sure why... but I think even
elem. school's have them. ^^; Hope this was as enjoyable!
