Modeling For Sora: A Sora and Tai Love Story

Chapter Three: Hello Sora! Goodbye Sora!

~*~

Tai paced in front of Sora's apartment. She was late. She promised to meet him and never showed up. So here he was, waiting for her in front of her apartment so he could tell her that he won't be able to work with her if she doesn't go by her words.

After several minutes, Sora didn't come out, but still, Tai sat down on a bench and waited.

An hour later, Tai was lying on the bench playing with an empty Pepsi can waiting for Sora.

Three hours later Tai was sitting on the floor in front of the apartment stairs waiting for Sora, and then the door opened! Tai was just about to get up when a passing man threw a token at his feet. Glaring at the man's back, Tai didn't notice the redhead running over to him.


"Tai! Tai! Oh I'm really sorry! I just got a bit busy, please understand…"

Tai turned around to see Sora looking at him with her pleading red eyes, and at that moment, Tai forgot every single thing he had prepared.

"Oh, umm, hi Sora."

"Come on, let's go! We don't have all day."

With that, Sora took Tai by the arm and lead him to her apartment…

~*~

Yes, it was the big day, Tai, so don't screw it up! Easier said than done…


~*~

"Don't move!"

"It's kind of hard not to."

"I thought Mimi said you were taking modeling lessons."

"School didn't start yet."

"…oh."

Tai stood on a bunch of pillows with his arms in the air. He looked like an idiot, especially when he was wearing nothing but boxers!

"Sora…"

"Hm?"

"Umm…It's kind of cold in here…"

"That's because you're almost naked silly."

"Yes, I know. Could you please…"

He was interrupted by the knocking.

"Don't move! I'll be back! Ok?"

Tai nodded, "All right."

~*~

She walked away and opened the door. And guess who she sees standing there! Come on, guess! Guess! Guess~ I said GUESS!!

~*~

"Matt!" Sora said in astonishment. "What are you doing here?"

~*~

Wonderful, isn't it? You're in a room all alone with the person you love, all alone and half naked. And who comes in to ruin everything? Her boyfriend…

~*~

Matt took Sora in his arms and kissed her, "Can't I visit my girlfriend from time to time?"


Sora giggled, "Sure you can. I was just surprised to see you here." She closed the door as they walked in. "So how's life in the outer world?"

"Easy." Matt simply answered. Sora giggled again.

Tai was getting annoyed, "Sora! I'm freezing here!"

"Huh? Did I just hear Tai?" Matt asked.

Sora slapped her forehead, "Shoot! I forgot about Tai!" And she ran to the living room, Matt followed.

Matt suddenly stopped as he saw a half naked Tai sitting on a pool of…pillows shivering.

"Ok, what's going on here Sora?" Matt asked suspiciously.

Sora laughed, "It's not what you're thinking Matt! Tai joined modeling school and is volunteering to model for me, after I finish my clothes of course."

There was silence as Matt stared at Tai. Tai stared at Matt. They stared at each other.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Matt fell to the floor laughing.

~*~

It wasn't funny, believe me! Especially when the one who's laughing is your love's boyfriend. Arg! I hate Ishida Yamato!

~*~

Tai stared at Matt, his once 'Best friend' and now his love's 'Boyfriend' until he stopped laughing.

"I'm sorry Tai…it's just so funny seeing you like this. You actually joined modeling school? What about soccer?"

"I quit."

Matt's face became serious, "You did WHAT!? But you love soccer! It was your dream!"

"It was also Sora's and she quit too." Tai said simply.


Sora bit her lip and looked away. She didn't want to tell them why she really quit soccer. It was too…embarrassing.

"That's different! Sora's a girl! You're a-"

Sora looked at Matt with burning red eyes, "What did you say?"

Matt turned to look at a very angry Sora, "Oops…"

Sora glared at Matt, "I did NOT quit soccer because I thought girls were different! I'll tell you right now that I quit soccer because…because…" She trailed off and lowered her head and said something so softly that not even Matt-who was standing next to her-heard her.

"Is something wrong Sora?" Tai asked.

She didn't respond.

Matt put his arms around her, "Is there something wrong Sora?"

She slapped his arm away, "Don't touch me!"

And with that, she ran away.

~*~

Whoa! Shocking, ne? I couldn't believe my eyes as well. What happened next was that I gathered my clothes and ran after her. Matt, on the other hand, just stared at the door both heart-broken and sad. I didn't know who to feel sorry for: Myself, Sora or Matt?
