Author's Notes: Sooo... Okay. Well, the fourth chapter's here now. I don't really know what to say, but enjoy!
~*~
Tai had tried to shake off the look that Matt had given him the other day. It was impossible. How could one person, who was completely satisfied with life, have so much hatred stored deep within him? Besides that, why was Matt glaring at him? What had he done?
~*~
"Sora... we have to talk," said Tai, grabbing her wrist, and leading her to an empty room.
"What is it Tai? I'm going to be late for my next class," Sora said, when the two stopped.
Tai sighed. She was right, but he had to talk to her about that day. He wanted to know if Matt has said anything to her. "Okay, just... just get out of your class immedietly after fourth period okay? There's something that I need to know right away."
Sora nodded. She stopped for a second to look over Tai's facial expressions. He looked so serious. What was wrong? She would just have to wait until lunch time to find out.
~*~
The fourth period bell had finally rung, and the students quickly spilled out of their classes to get the lead at the lunch line. Tai and Sora had found each other, and both went outside of the cafeteria to eat their home made lunch and to talk.
"What is it Tai?" Sora asked, biting off a piece of her sandwich.
"I was wondering- Want?" Tai asked, pointing to his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Sora nodded, and Tai tore off half and gave it to her. With that, she exchanged some of her turkey and cheese with him.
"Hmmm...?" she asked, with her mouth full.
Tai laughed a little, seeing his bestfriend act the way she always acted when Matt wasn't around.
"I was wondering... if Matt said anything about him hating me or something?" he said, slowly, looking her face over, to see if she knew anything.
Sora just nodded. "--ai?" she asked, meaning to ask 'why' but her mouth was full. Tai had known her almost all his entire life, so he understood this.
"Well... He looked at me as if he wanted to kill me the other day, when you and him came over," he said. He wasn't ashamed of saying anything like this to her, even if Matt was her boyfriend, because he always told Sora almost everything, with the exception of how he felt about her. Of all the things, he didn't want to hide this from her.
Sora swallowed her food, furrowed her brows, in deep though, and looked at the ground, thinking back to Matt and her converstaion. No. He had never even mentioned it. "No, he's never said anything. Truly. If you want though, I'll ask," she said, standing up from her position on the table.
"No!" Tai said a little too quickly. "I mean... if you want, go ahead and tell him, but..." he said, not finishing his sentence. He couldn't just tell her that he missed having lunch with her. That he missed their talks. He missed her.
"Huh?" Sora said, looking curiously at Tai.
"It's... nothing. Go ahead now. Matt's probably waiting for you, or looking around for you," he said. He had covered his disappointed tone completely.
Sora nodded, and just ran back inside to find Matt.
"Dammit... Why can't the pain just stop?" Tai asked himself, as he collected his things from the table. He was about to walk back to the cafeteria, but just then he heard a familiar, coarse, male voice from behind him.
"Watch your mouth Taichi Kamiya!" it said sternly.
Tai quickly turned around, and found Mr. Onaka standing there. "Oh... sorry sir, I was... forget it," he said.
"Well, I came over here to ask you if you're still going to audition," said Mr. Onaka.
"Sora... she tricked me into promising it, so I have to. She's going to be there anyway..." he said.
"Good. That's all I wanted to know."
"Mr. Onaka?"
"Yes Taichi?"
"Why do you care if I audition?"
"Because I saw something in you, as you played with that band of yours. Besides, the main character guy is going to have to sing a song, with a guitar. You already know how to do those two. Now we just need to see if you can act."
~*~
After school, the boys who were called by Mr. Onaka, came over to the preforming arts room.
Sora stood on the far left, and searched the crowd for Tai. After thirty minutes of auditioning, Tai had arrived, sneaking quietly into the room. Sora left Matt's side, and made her way over to Tai. She hit him hard on the back of his head, and hissed "Why were you late?!"
Tai couldn't help but smile, as he rubbed the back of his head. "I had to put down those awards that they handed to me for soccer, at home. I had to run all the way back. Geeze Sor. I promised that I would come. I don't break my promises to you. You of all people should know that."
Sora looked at him apologetically, then brought him to a seat to the right of her. Matt was seated at her left-hand side.
~*~
After about ten minutes passed, Mr. Onaka called for his last two auditioners: Matt, and Tai.
The two boys walked over to the mini stage, and Mr. Onaka handed the two, scripts.
~*~
"She belongs to me," Matt said, feircely at Tai.
"I don't want to start any trouble here in these streets, Akira," Tai said, his voice remained clam, as he stood on stage, staring at Matt dully.
"If you stay away from her, then there won't BE any trouble on the streets got it? Besides, who gave you the right to address me in such a familiar way?" Matt (Akira) said, walking over towards Tai.
"She's not your property. Besides, by the looks of it, you seem lost. You don't really know how she's like, do you? As for the name, I don't feel the need to give someone respect, if they don't respect me. Now. If you would let me, I have to get going," Tai said, as he turned his back, and walked away from Matt.
"NO one walks away from me!!!" Matt said. His voice demanded Tai to turn around. "Where are you going?" he yelled.
'He's pretty good.' Tai thought. 'But since he and Sora are always together now, why can't I just take this chance to be with her throughout the play? With that... I need to get the lead part...'
"That's for me to know. It's none of your buissiness," Tai said, as he stopped walking.
"You're going to see her again aren't you?" Matt asked, quietly, but deadly.
"What if I am?" Tai asked, as his voice remained calm, and uncaring.
"I just said..." Matt said, running over to Tai, and tackling him.
Tai was unprepared for what was happening now. Matt had punched him, in the stomach. 'What the hell?!' Tai thought. 'That's it you ass. What ever's wrong with you...'. "We're just supposed to ACT!!!" Tai yelled.
The crowd looked stunned as Matt and Tai began to fight on stage. Mr. Onaka was alarmed, and ran over there, pulling the two boys off each other.

Author's Notes: Uh oh. Will Tai ever get the part now?
***Please review***. I would really like to know how you felt about this chapter, or if anyone has just first started reading, I would like to know how you felt about the story so far. I have to go, but I hope that you all enjoyed!
