Chapter 2
A/N: Since I got my first 100% on a Japanese test- I decided to push off studying for the night and type instead :)
I never thought anime would be so much help in that class! It's wonderful!
But anyway- enough about me and my half ass attempt at being a student- oh guess what!!!!! Today I was accepted into the study abroad program!!!! Come spring of 2005- Kate will be in Tokyo! That and the test results have made my day wonderful!!!!
Ok- I'll stop and get to the good stuff- the story!
I enjoyed reading all your comments- thanks! We'll just have to see what happens :)
-Setting note-
I should have mentioned this before, but I believe that this story is set during the time before season 2 starts… and since it's a Taiora- the whole Matt/Sora relationship will never happen :)

The next day at school Sora arrived a little later than usual due to her over sleeping. She had been up all night worrying about this secret admirer and how she had wished it would turn out to be Tai. But after several hours of thought she figured it couldn't be Taichi- the soccer playing goggle head didn't seem to be the romantic type, let alone interested in her. But a girl could dream- right? She mused to herself.
Arriving at her locker she was greeted by another pink card tapped to the door. Granted Sora wasn't the frilly type of girl, but once and a while she could appreciate a few feminine things here and there.
Opening the note she was greeted with another poem praising her. Resisting the urge to melt Sora folded the note and began to open her locker. This time to door opened nicely and without conflict. As the door swung open the fragrant scent of flowers greeted her nose. Her eyes were wide in shock as she saw a bouquet of roses waiting. She was speechless as the bell rang and the halls suddenly filled with students.
Sora was oblivious to all the commotion until a bubbly voice broke her out of her stupor.
"That's sooooo romantic!" Mimi squealed looking at the roses.
"Wow, Sora. So it's true!" Another girl smiled.
"You've got a secret admirer!" Mimi said excitedly. Sora could only blush as the girls made a large commotion. Her eyes trailed away from the flowers and some how they met with a pair of chocolate orbs.
-
Not knowing if he should be jealous, or happy that someone else finally realized how special Sora was, Tai could only give her a smile. After the classic shrug from the large haired teen, he stood there just watching and waiting for the crowd of people to dissipate.
"Got competition there buddy." Came a voice from behind.
"Matt… wh..what do you mean?"
"Exactly what you think. You're missing the chance at the girl you love."
"Quite joking around Matt." Tai tried to laugh and not sound fake. "Me and Sora? That's funny."
"Sure," Matt shrugged and walked off.
"Hey Matt- wait up!" Tai said and went after the blonde.
At lunch Tai and Matt were talking about the same topic. Well Matt was hounding Tai that he should do something, and Tai was adamantly denying 'such crazy assumptions.'
"So you're just going to let some random guy go after her?"
"Well, what can I do about it? It's not like I've got some claim on her." Tai mumbled as he ate at his sandwich outside on a bench. The sun was out in full glory and there was a perfect breeze flowing, but this was only in contrast to Tai's mood. Inside his soul there were storm cloud festering.
"I'd be mad- I'd ask her out before she falls for this sweet talking nobody…" Matt stated.
"Will you let it go? If you have such a problem with it, you talk to Sora." Tai said angrily.
"Tai- the whole reason Sora and anyone else won't work is because she definitely has strong feelings for you. So just go up and tell her."
"But what if you're wrong?"
"So then I'm wrong- at least you know what the truth is."
-
"So what did the note say this time?" Mimi asked.
"The same as yesterday's note… I don't know Mimi, this person seems really nice, but why can't they come out and talk to me? I mean, they've sent me letters, text messaged me on my phone with out a return number to even try and contact them…" Sora said disheartened. "If they like me so much, then why don't they approach me?"
"Don't worry Sora, I'm sure they will sometime soon. Just give them time." Mimi told her trying to comfort her best friend.
"Do you think so? I just still don't know what to think about this whole situation… I mean what if it turns out I don't like this guy as much as he likes me? I wish…"
"That your secret admirer was Taichi?" Mimi finished her sentence for her; only to get her friend to blush beat red.
"MIMI! Keep it down!" Sora nearly flipped out at her friend's comment after the embarrassment wore off.
"Oh come off it Sor, if you like him so much- then just tell him."
"WHAT?"
"I mean all this secrecy stuff is so junior high. What's there to worry about- you like him; he likes you… instant couple!"
"Mimi, you know I can't just walk up to Tai and tell him… what if he doesn't see me as anything more than a friend. I would have ruined our whole friendship!"
"What ever you say Sora, but I don't buy it. Well I'm going home then- I'll talk to you later." Mimi waved as she spotted Taichi approaching Sora.
"Hey- all set?" he asked cheerfully as he leant against the lockers.
"Yeah, just gotta shove this in the locker." Sora said with a sigh.
"What's wrong? All this secret admirer stuff to much?" Tai said in a joking tone, but really on the inside he was worried. 'What if she liked those letters she got? What if the writer was serious about her? What could I do if she really ended up liking this guy?' Tai questioned himself in the few seconds before Sora was ready to go.
"Truthfully, after a week of it all, I'm glad it's the weekend." Sora sighed as they made their way out of the school.
Suddenly a cute little tune started to play.
"Oh, that's my phone." Sora said as she dug into her skirt pockets for the device.
"Who was it?" Tai asked as she read the text message. Sora stopped while reading the message. "Well?"
"They want to meet me…" Sora said shocked.
"What?"
"They, my secret admirer wants to have dinner tonight…" She said as she looked up at Tai. Her crimson orbs searched his chocolate ones for any kind of emotion that would tell her to not go… but Tai simply smiled and looked away.
"That's good." He said putting up a front so he wouldn't let his own feelings of hurt and heartache seep through.
"Are you sure, do you think it's a good idea?" Sora asked trying to get a negative response from him. 'If he tells me not to go, then maybe he does have feelings for me… oh please tell me to not go…' She pleaded in her mind.
"Well that should be fun! I hope you have a great time… hey Sora…" Tai said.
"Yeah," came her reply.
"I…I… have to go. I just remembered an errand my mom wanted me to do tonight. See ya later."
And with that he took off sprinting off away from a stunned Sora.
