Okay… Another chap for you to read! Hmm… I'm finally getting some reviews for this… And everyone seems to like it… Well… All but one. That was harsh dude! Major harsh!! I just want to send a giant thank you to '"The Price Is Right" Fan' who defended me! I'd like to strangle who ever that was too… *Mumbles about the rudeness of people*
Ken: Calm down Ford-chan
Fordina: I'll try… I'll get off my fat ass you dumb ass…
Ken: Fordina…?
Fordina: No one tells me what to do… *Continues to mumble*
Ken: Oh dear… I don't think she'll be able to do the disclaimers today… So I'll do them. Fordina does not own Digimon. But she does own or borrowed all the non-Digimon characters in this story.

Through the Years:
A Story About Me
By: Fordina
Chapter 4
I'm at school… Sitting in the Cafeteria… Since I never bring a lunch and I don't have any money on me I'm just writing… As always… You can always find me with some sort of book in my hands… Be it an actual book that I'm reading from or some sort of writing notebook. Nobody says anything. And if they do… Well I don't hear it…
I'm snapped out of my trance by the sound of something slamming on the table that I'm sitting at.
"Hey there!" The person greeted. I look up to be met by two brown eyes. As I study the face a little while more I realize that it's Jennifer.
"Jennifer! Hey," I say as she sits down and starts to eat some of the food she has on her tray.
"Hey there Traci! I didn't even know you went to this school!" She said as she took a bite out of her sandwich.
"Well I didn't know you went here either…" I told her as I stared at my notebook.
"What ya got there?" She asked referring to my notebook.
I quickly close it before she has a chance to read any of it. "It's nothing…"
"Doesn't look like nothing… Come on! Let's see it!" She persisted. I shook my head.
"No… No one can see the contents of this book… It's… It's personal…" I tell her.
She grins. Why does that bring a weary sense to me? "I know what's in it…" She teases.
"No, no I'm certain you don't," I told her.
"I bet I do… Doesn't have anything to do with…" She leans in closer and whispers, "Ken does it?" I blush and her grin grows wider. "I knew it!" She yelled out, causing many people to look in our direction.
"Keep it down will ya?!" I hissed, then sighed. "Yes… Some of the stuff does have to do with…" I lowered my voice, "Ken…"
"Then why don't you let me see it? It's not like I'm going to make fun of you for liking an Anime character!" Well I knew that much was true… Considering she herself has Taichi…
I slowly let my grip loosen around the spiral notebook and carefully hand it to Jennifer.
"Um… Here… I'll let you read some of it… Just don't go past page thirty… Please…" I begged slightly.
She nodded. "No problemo! I didn't even need to read any of it… But since you insisted!" I sweatdropped. Me? Insisted she read it?! Why I oughta… "Whoa!" She broke me out of my thoughts again. "This is really good! You've got a talent for writing Trac!"
I blush slightly at the complement. "Thanks…"
"So…" She starts. "What's past page thirty?" She has that grin on again… And a gleam in her eyes… I don't like the looks of it one bit.
"Nothing of your concern!" I tell her. But instead of nodding her head and giving me back my notebook she flips through the pages and stops on page thirty. "No! Please don't!" I pleaded. But she didn't listen. I sighed as she started to read, her eyes growing wide with each passing word.
"Trac… I… I can't believe that you wrote this!" She cried. I held my breath for what might come next. "This is excellent! A little more then I usually like to read but still very good!" She handed me back my notebook.
I looked at her shocked. "Th-thanks…" I said. Usually when people see what I write they freak and tell me that I shouldn't write this sort of thing.
Just then the bell rang signaling the end of lunch.
"We should get going… What do you have next?" Jennifer asked standing up and grabbing her backpack.
"Math… Such a drag…" I told her.
"Me too. Who do you got?" She asked as we made our way down the hall.
"Mrs. Mackenzie. You?" I reply.
"Mr. Carmen. I would give anything to have Mrs. Mackenzie again! She was the best last year!" Jennifer exclaimed.
I laughed. "Yeah, but it can get pretty boring playing games all the time…" I sighed. "I need a challenge," I explained.
She laughed. "Then come to Mr. Carmen's class! Sometime I don't even get his stuff!" I laughed too.
"This is my class… I'll see ya later!" Jennifer said as she ran towards her classroom.
I sigh. "Why do I always feel so alone?" I asked quietly.
I walk into my classroom to find my friend Zaira sitting in our usual seats.
"Hey Zai-chan," I say as I sit down next to her.
"Hey TL! I didn't see you at lunch? Didn't you go home?" She asked.
"No, for some reason I decided to stay here. I ate with Jennifer," I told her.
"Jennifer?" She asked. "Who's she?"
"A girl I used to know. But didn't know that I knew her…" I scrunched my face up. "Dang nabbit… I'm just confusing myself!"
Zai-chan laughed. "Man… You know you watch way too much of that show! You're starting to say quotes without even trying!"
"Yeah well…" I stutter. Just then Mrs. Mackenzie walks in and class begins.
In the middle of copying notes Zaira nudges me. "TL, are we going to walk home together?" She asked.
"I think so… You have Science next right?" I ask. She nodded. "Meet me next to our lockers then," I tell her. She nods again and I resume my note writing.
Once the day finally ends I head over to my locker to meet up with Zaira. As I turn a corner I bump into someone.
"Sorry," I said as I got up, gathering my books, as well as helping get the other persons books I knocked down.
"It's not a problem Traci," I look up at the mention of my name. I had bumped into Jennifer.
"Oh, hi Jennifer. Why are you in such a hurry?" I ask. Not failing to notice the stressed look on her face.
"My dad can't come and pick me up so I was going to try and catch a ride with my friend Ashley, but she's probably gone by now…" She sighed.
"You can come over to my place," I said before I could stop myself.
She looked at me. "Really?" She asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, its not a problem, my mom doesn't get home until after five so…"
"Oh thank you thank you thank you!" She said hugging me.
Slightly shocked I hugged back. "It's no problem. Come on, I'm meeting my friend Zai-chan by our lockers," I said as she let go of me.
"Zai-chan?" She asked.
"Oh… Zaira. It's just a name I've always used for her," I told her blushing slightly.
"Oh… Cool," She said as we made our way to the other side of the school.
Making it to our lockers I saw Zaira already there waiting for me. "Hey TL!" She yelled.
"Hey Zai-chan!" I greeted. She looked at Jennifer and I answered her unasked question. "This is Jennifer, Jennifer this is Zaira."
"Hiya Jen," Zaira said shaking Jennifer's hand.
"Hey Zaira."
"Jennifer's coming over to my house, so she'll be walking with us," I informed Zaira.
"If she must," She said jokingly, as she walked away hands on her hips and her nose high up in the air.
"Zai-chan! Quit being so dramatic!" I yell as I run up to her.
Jennifer laughs and runs to catch up to us. I don't usually act like this. But for some reason when ever I'm around Zaira… And I guess Jennifer now too… I get like this. It's always been something for me to ponder on…
Tbc…
Well… That ends that chapter… Hope it went all right… If you find any errors then tell in your review, which I know your going to give ^o^, or even better in an email!
Ken: And hopefully you don't get another one of … those… kind of emails…
Fordina: Yeah no kidding! Seriously, HARSH! *Says very slowly*
Ken: Calm down.
Fordina: Well… I don't mind flames… But not like that!! So if you want to make fun of my work go ahead… I'll just get rid of it. I'm not getting rid of this one though because of the review I got from '"The Price Is Right" Fan'. Since he/she was nice enough to tell this guy off ^o^
Well… Until next chap! Ja ne!
