Well, Welcome to the second chapter of my story. I hope you enjoy and please tell me what you think of it..
CH2: COLLEGE
2 WEEKs LATER
Yamato sat up and looked out the window. He was still a little shaken by the accident, but something was telling him that he needed to go. When he looked at the TV he realized that today was the day that he was supposed to go to college and get set up in his dorm.
Yamato froze as he looked out his bedroom window. He had come home three days earlier and had been informed that most of his friends had already left to college, but they sent their condolences to him. He didn't know that any of them knew about the accident, but that didn't mean that Takeru hadn't said that to be nice to his brother.
"Onichan!" The bedroom door swung open and Takeru ran in. "Mimi called. She said that Koushirou's on his way here to get you. You've got about five minutes to get everything together." Yamato nodded and sighed as he pulled himself out of bed.
"Thanks, Takeru." Takeru smiled at his brother and turned to leave.
"Yamato, will you be ok?" Yamato looked at his little brother and smiled.
"Yeah. I think I will. Don't worry, bro. Now get out before I have Mimi come and get you." Takeru gulped and ran out. Yamato smiled as he pulled his baggy jeans on. He walked over to his closet and grabbed one of his blue, sleeveless shirts. He grabbed his pre-packed duffle bag and suitcase and made his way down stairs to wait for Taichi.
"Yamato, honey, can you come into the kitchen before you leave?" Yamato's mother's voice asked pleadingly. Yamato put his bags down and walked into the kitchen. His mother and father were sitting at the table with a white envelop in front of them.
"Hey." Yamato said quietly.
"Yamato, I know that you are not happy with the fact that we don't like you going to college so soon after the…um…" Ms. Takaishi looked at her ex for support.
"Yamato, listen, I know that you had an accident, but here's some money for a car and books at school. Now go!" Yamato stepped back.
"Are you kicking me out?!" Mr. Ishida shook his head.
"No, we are sending you to college to better yourself. Your mother believes that its our fault that you've been so withdrawn and we want this to be the way to make it up." a horn blew outside and Yamato nodded.
"Arigato." Yamato grabbed the envelope and his bags and charged out to Koushirou's car.
"JA NE, ONICHAN!" Yamato waved back at his brother and climbed into the car. They sped off down the road for a good two hour drive.

Sora smiled as she watched her new American friend put her clothes away. Her new roomy was a year younger then her, but she assumed that it was American custom to be in college by 17, but she never remembered that part in her American studies course. Her roomy, Faye, was about 5'6 ½", with a swimmers build. She had shoulder length dirty-blonde hair that was pulled into a ponytail, and her eyes were green.
"So, Sora, what can we do today?" Sora was pulled back to reality at the sound of her room's voice.
"…uh…" Sora paused, she didn't know what she wanted to do.
"Well, I was thinking that we could go see the new guys that are moving in." Faye said nonchalantly.
"Well how do we do that and be discrete at the same time?" Sora asked, obviously intrigued. Faye smiled mischievously.
"We get ice cream and sit on the bench talking. If a cute guy walks by we could stand up to leave and walk into them." Sora chuckled at her new friend's idea.
"I like it!" Sora and Faye grabbed their coats and ran out to buy the ice cream cones.

Yamato stared at the building before him. He tried to figure out where his apartment was and how he should get to it. He stopped and laughed as he saw his friend walk across the lawn towards him.
"Ishida! Yo, dude, I didn't know that you were gonna show up." Yamato's friend smiled at him as he looked him over.
"Yeah, well, you know me, Taichi, never stopping. So, where's your room?" Taichi retrieved a small piece of paper from his wallet and handed it to Yamato.
23-E
Yamato sighed, relief washing over him. Taichi glanced at him and raised his eyebrow in suspicion.
"What's so funny?" Taichi grabbed Yamato's duffle bag.
"I'm in 23-E, too." Taichi grinned happily.
"Great, well, let me help you bring this up to our room. I'm sure that we'll have fun this year." Yamato and Taichi smiled.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Sora and Faye laughed as they watched two guys dragging a couch up the stairs. Sora stopped laughing as she caught two guys walking across the yard. One was blonde with hair that reached below his ears (making him look like a movie star you could never touch) and measuring about 5'10 ½". The other boy was about the same height and had wild, spiky, brown hair.
"Yama…" Sora murmured under her breath.
"Wow, now he's eye candy!" Faye gasped. Sora waved at the guys and motioned for them to come over. Faye elbowed her.
"What are you doing!?" She hissed at Sora.
"I've known them awhile, don't worry." Sora smiled and hugged the blond.
"Sora, I didn't know that you were coming here." Sora smiled.
"Same here, but that doesn't matter." Sora patted the bench besides her. "You shouldn't be on your feet. Now tell me about what happened to you!" Sora stared at her friend.
"Sora, I…I don't wanna…I…" Yamato's voice trailed off. He looked at Sora sadly, his azure eyes warning her not to ask him again.
"Never mind…" Sora hugged Yamato. "I'm sorry, if I didn't then I shouldn't expect you too, either." Sora whispered into his ear.
"Hey, what about me, Takenouchi, no hug for me!?" Sora laughed and hugged Taichi.
"Better, Hikari?!" Taichi glared at the smiling girls.
"I don't look like my sister that much!" Sora chuckled.
"Sora, don't be rude, introductions!" Faye elbowed Sora's ribs.
"I'm sorry, Faye Junko, this is Ishida Yamato and Yagami Taichi. Taichi and Yamato this is my roommate, Faye." Faye smiled and shook Taichi and Yamato's hands.
"A great pleasure to meet you both." Faye smiled. "You both attending this school? Why don't you come with us to dinner?" Sora sighed.
"Crazy girl. I'm sure that-" Sora started, but was cut off by her energetic, brunette friend.
"I'd love to." Taichi smiled. "But maybe it could be just you and me?" Taichi smiled at Sora. Faye frowned, noticing this Sora shook her head.
"Taichi, go with Faye. I don't want to go right now. I'm sure you two will have fun." Taichi shrugged.
"Hey, its six, you wanna go now?" Faye nodded. "Catch you later, Ishida." Yamato caught his duffle bag and watched as his friend and Sora's roomy walked off chatting like bugs. Sora glanced at Yamato and realized that he was dealing with something internally.
"Yamato!?" Sora hugged Yamato's arm to her. "Lets go to my apartment. I can fix something up, but I know that nothing I make will be as good as yours." Sora smiled and waited for Yamato's answer. It was only a slight nod of his head.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Yamato sat in front of the blank television screen. He watched the reflection of Sora in the kitchen. He sighed and stared off into space.
"Yama, what would you like?" Sora asked as she peeked her head around the cupboard. She smiled at the back of Yamato's head. Yamato didn't respond. Sora walked over and sat next to him.
"What's wrong? Yamato, are you even going to talk to me!? Damn, Yamato! Talk!" Yamato watched as she stormed out of the room.
"Sora…" Yamato sighed. "I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore. I don't know what to do. I'm confused… Then the accident…"
Sora sighed as she sat on the stool. "He's so cute…What?! Did I just think that?! Oh no."
