It is not a fairy tale. It is neither a legend nor a lie. It is real. It
exists. There really is such a world that is compiled of data; living data.
Just like our world, its existence is always, and forever, threatened.
Without one world, the other cannot exist for our worlds are connected.
That is why we have them; the chosen ones.
There are countless of them all over our world whether they know it or not. No one is sure how they are chosen to be the saviors of both these worlds, but they are. You never know who could be one and what part they play in the battle to maintain the balance between light and darkness. But whatever the part may be, everyone must work together for no one can win the battle alone; no matter how strong.
This story is about one girl and her place in the events of light against darkness. This is about her destiny and her fate. Her place among the other chosen ones; the ones forever destined; the Digidestined.

Chapter 1: How Destiny Begins
"GAH! I'm going to be late on my first day of school!" Shouted the teenage girl as her long brown hair whipped around her face as she raced around the apartment.
A woman with dark hair was in the small kitchen buttering some toast. "Gomen, Chikyuu! I should have woken you up earlier! Teachers usually go easy on kids on their first day though, right?"
"Usually. I'll be ok if I don't get lost!"
"Here, eat this on the way!" The woman handed the girl the piece of toast.
"Wish me luck!" The girl shouted as she headed to the door.
"Sayonara, Chikyuu!" the woman shouted.
"Later, Aunt Mary!"
*******
Everyone sat down in a seat as the morning bell rang, signaling that homeroom was to begin. We see the familiar faces of four individuals. Koushiro Izumi, or better known as Izzy, is the red head boy seated near the front of the classroom. He's very studious and smart. He was known as the little genius in his younger days when he was short for his age, but now has grown much since then. He always has and always will have a never- ending love for computers and knowledge.
Also sitting near the front next to Izzy is the fiery orange haired, Sora Takenouchi. Sora is studious as well as athletic. Since her younger days, she has gone from soccer to tennis and is now on the school tennis team. Sora used to be a real tomboy but now isn't afraid to wear a skirt and not wear a hat. She is currently dating Yamato Ishida.
Everyone knows Yamato Ishida, or else known as Matt. He's not only the school heartthrob, but is the lead singer and base guitarist in his own band, The Teenage Wolves. However, out of all the girls at Odaiba High School, Sora is the one who has caught the eye of the young blue eye, blond. Matt's not very studious. He struggles most with science and history. Matt is sitting near the back of the classroom, scribbling down some possible song lyrics in his notebook.
Next to Matt is his best friend, the Digidestine formally known as Goggle Head, Taichi Yagami, or Tai. Like Sora, Tai is very athletic, but out of all other sports, he still holds a passion for soccer. He's not at all very studious and struggles with science and algebra the most. Let's just say, no one wants to be his lab partner, and one time is calculator shorted out and blew up.
Tai was lazily resting his head on his desk as he watch Matt chew on the end of his pencil whenever he wasn't jotting something down. Tai really didn't want to be in class but rather outside in the fresh air and on the green grass of a soccer field. He believed that summer passed by much too quickly for his liking.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening caught the attention of everyone in the classroom. A girl with long brown hair quickly stepped into the classroom and approached the teacher.
"Please excuse me, miss, for being so late. I'm still kind of new to the area."
"I understand. Please take a seat."
The girl glanced over the class with her green eyes and quickly sat in the first empty desk she saw. She let her backpack drop next to her desk and folded her arms across her desk as she swiftly let her head drop and rest on her folded arms and let a sigh of relief and exhaustion escape her lips.
"Hey Matt." Tai whispered. "Is that girl new? I've never seen her before."
Matt looked up. "She looks like the girl TK told me about."
"Huh?"
"TK told me about Cody's cousin from the US who was staying with them. It could be her."
Tai said nothing. He just watched her as he laid his head on his desk. 'She's kind of cute.' He thought. A smile found its way on his face without his knowing it.
*******
I am definitely going to need to get up earlier! Chikyuu? No, that's not my real name. My aunt gave me that name because it is Japanese for what my real name means; 'Earth'. My birth name is Tera; Tera O'Riley. I'm sixteen and starting my Junior year of high school at Odaiba High. Did I say I was new to the area? I meant to this side of the world!
I originally came from the United States. How did I end up over here in Japan? I was having some problems back home and I asked my parents if I could stay with my dad's sister, my Aunt Mary who lives in Japan. After much debating and discussion with my aunt, they agreed to let me go! I headed for Japan early August so I could have a month before school started to get settled.
The problems back home? Well, I guess I should rephrase that. Home is fine. I mean, my parents are divorced, but that's not a problem. My mom and dad get along fine. Me and my little brother live with my mom and see my dad once in a while. Why? Well, because my dad lives in the western US while my mom had moved to the eastern US. My brother and I see him in the summer and maybe during the school year.
My brother is ten years old. Yep, officially old enough to be a Pokemon trainer! Just joking! He loves Pokemon. He can be such a brat, but aren't all little brothers? He's really energetic a lot of the time and becomes hard to handle. I almost feel sorry for letting mom handle him alone! His name is Adam. My aunt calls him Kappatsu, which means 'lively'. I however call him by a different name; bakemono, 'monster.' Either seems to suit him fine!
So then, why did I want to leave? Jeez, you ask alot of questions! I have to hurry to class now!
*******
(Tera's POV)
I hurry to the auditorium. I can't help but feel excited! I've always thought about doing this class. It looks really fun! I pull open the doors leading to my first class.
Welcome to Drama.
The teacher, Mrs. Fuyu, seems nice but very- eccentric, but I guess drama teachers need to be eccentric. I took a look at the other students and actually recognized two people from my building, and not just anyone, but friends of my cousin's. I'm so nervous about meeting new people but I knew I had to go for it.
"Hi! You guys are friends of Cody's, right?" I gave a friendly smile.
"Oh yeah! Hey, you must be Tera! Cody's cousin! It's great to meet you!" The polite blonde boy smiled. He seems really sweet. His white bucket hat makes me think of Gillian from Gillian's Island!
"Yeah! Cody was really excited about you coming!" Spoke a girl with long lavender hair as she adjusted her glasses on her nose.
"I'm glad! Cody is so sweet! Sometimes I wish he was my little brother!"
"Well, I'm TK!"
"I'm Yolei."
After introducing ourselves to one another, the class got up on stage and we did some warm up exercises. Then we all played some games. The teacher stepped out of the auditorium for a moment and the rest of the class got a chance to chat and visit.
I was sitting and listening to TK and Yolei talk when I felt someone sit next to me. I turned and saw a guy with jet-black hair and brown eyes. He gave me a shy smile.
"Hi, I'm Yukio."
"Hi." I greeted in return.
"So what's your name?"
'How stupid of me!' I thought. "Oh, I'm Tera."
"Are you new? I don't think I've seen you before."
"Yeah, I moved here over the summer. I'm staying with my aunt."
"Cool." He gave me a friendly smile.
I chatted with Yukio until the bell rang.
"See yea tomorrow." He waved.
"Bye!" I waved back. 'Hm, so far the day hasn't been so bad.'
*******
(Tai's POV)
*sigh* Looks like I got here just in time! Almost all the back seats are taken! Man, I hate Geometry.
I stared at the green chalkboard like a zombie until something caught my attention. It was that girl again. She was standing in front of the class kind of hesitant to move. She's probably looking for a seat. Damn, too bad I have no empty seats next to me to offer. Just as well, I'll probably look like a fool if the teacher calls on me for the answer. *sigh* I just can't win. If school was more like soccer I'd probably would be doing much better.
*******
(Tera's POV)
I took a seat in my second class of the day, Geometry. I ended up sitting near the front because most of the back seats were taken.
About half way through class, the teacher had us work out the problem on the board. The teacher sighed when everyone pulled out their calculators. She thinks that students depend on them too much. Suddenly, there was a weird sound heard from the back of the classroom. Everyone turned to see small puffs of smoke coming from someone's desk! I looked and saw a guy with bushy brown hair trying to wave away the smoke that was coming from his- calculator?
The teacher sighed. "I was warned about you, Mr. Yagami."
"Err, uh, sorry ma'am. Math's not my strong point." His brown eyes looked down at his calculator with pity.
I couldn't help but snicker along with the rest of the class. I saw him look at me and I felt my face flush slightly and I turned back around in my seat.
*******
(Tai's POV)
'Aw man! She must think I'm such a loser!' I think as I let my head hit my binder.
*******
(Tera's POV)
Third period. Science. Once again, all the seats in back are taken but I'd rather sit in the front in my science class. I took a seat in the front next to this guy with red hair. I say hello to be polite. He smiled and returned my greeting.
I later discovered that this redhead isn't any ordinary redhead! He seemed to be exceptionally bright. Everyone seemed to want him as their lab partner. I wonder if he could help me with my math homework! He was eventually partnered with this girl with really long light brown hair. I swear his face was as red as his hair!
I looked around in hope that I would find someone else that was like me and needed a partner. That's when the teacher came up behind me and asked if I had a partner. I replied no and that's when she pointed to the other side of the room and said that me and Mr. Yagami would be partners.
I knew that name sounded familiar. I saw the same brown haired boy from last period sitting alone at a table in the back of the classroom. The teacher had everyone sit two at a table and everyone had to sit with their lab partner so I made my way to my new seat.
I walked over to the table where he sat and took my seat. "Hi, I guess we're lab partners." I smiled. Maybe math isn't his strong point but he might be ok in science.
*******
(Tai's POV)
I hate science. It's part math so I think I'm going to be in trouble. I was hoping Izzy would be my lab partner. He knows I'm not good at this stuff, but no! He had to go and have Jen be his lab partner!
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts, I didn't even notice when she walked up to me and took a seat. Her. The girl I've seen all morning.
"Hi, I guess we're lab partners." She smiled.
"Uh, cool." I smile back. This must be my lucky day! We're lab partners! Wait a minute. Lab partners? I suck at science! I'm so screwed! *sigh*
"Are you ok?" I heard her ask. I looked up and saw her looking at me kind of strange.
I smiled nervously. "Oh, no! I'm fine!"
"Alright class, let's get started." The teacher spoke.
*******
(Tera's POV)
'He seems cute- I mean he is cute!- I mean he seems nice!' I can feel my face getting warm suddenly. I glance his way and see him lean over.
"I'm Tai." He whispered.
"I'm Tera." I whispered back.
"Are you related to Cody Hida?"
"Yeah, he's my little cousin."
"Cool. My sister is friends with him."
"I see. So you heard about me?"
"Not really. Where you from?"
"Mr. Yagami, you can either socialize after class or after detention." The teacher spoke, looking at both Tai and me.
"Uh, hai. Gomen nasi." He replied.
The teacher went back to discussing class rules. My face grew warm with embarrassment. Tai gave me an 'I'm sorry' look and we didn't talk to one another for the rest of the class.
*******
The bell rang, signaling third period was over and it was now time for lunch. As I was gathering my stuff, I heard Tai's voice.
"So are you doing anything-?"
"Tai! That was very rude of you getting her in trouble during class!" a voice interrupted him. I saw it was the girl with the long light brown hair, accompanied by the read haired boy. "Hi! I'm Jenashu! I feel I must apologize for my thickheaded cousin over there! He doesn't know when to keep his big mouth shut!"
Tai gave Jen an annoyed look. "It must run in the family."
She rolled her eyes. "So what's your name?"
"I'm Tera."
"Well Tera, why don't you come with me and eat lunch with me and Izzy! You can meet our friends! They're really nice! Come on!" and with that, Jen hauled off both Izzy and Tera.
Tai sweat dropped as he watched his cousin hurry off. "Thanks a lot Jen!" he sighed in aggravation.
*******
Jen pulled Izzy and me into the cafeteria and took us to a lunch table.
"Everyone! This is Tera! She's moved here from America!" Jen announced to the table.
"Um, hi." I waved with a nervous smile.
Jen began to introduce everyone. "This is my cousin, Kari." She pointed. "And this is her friend Yolei."
"We've met." I informed.
"Yeah, we have drama together with TK!" Yolei confirmed.
"Cool! Speaking of TK here he comes!"
"Hi guys!" TK smiled as he sat down with his tray of food. "Hi again!" he smiled to me.
"Hi!" I greeted back.
"TA took the last pudding cup." A spiky haired boy grumbled as he sat down at the table with his tray of food.
"And that ray of sunshine would be Davis." Jen pointed out. "Davis, this is Tera."
"Hi." I greeted him.
"Hey." He responded.
Jen must have caught my gaze.
"Nope, you aren't seeing things. He really does look like Tai." She sighed. "Scary, isn't it?"
"You know Tai?" Kari asked me.
"Yeah, he's in two of my classes."
"Well, he's my brother." Kari smiled.
"Really? Cool." I smiled back.
Lunch went on just like that; small talk, but it was nice. I think I've already made new friends here.
*******
Lunch is over and my day is half through. Forth period; history is next. I ended up in the back of the class when my teacher introduced us to his seating chart.
"Hey, I saw you this morning."
I turned to my left to see a blonde haired boy sitting next to me.
"You did?"
"Yeah, are you Tera?"
"Um, yeah." I raise my brow.
He nodded. "My brother is a friend of Cody's and he told me about you." He then had a questionable smile on his face. "Also Tai mentioned you at lunch. He's the guy you're lab partners with."
"Yeah, I know him. Wow, I feel so popular." I joked.
He chuckled.
"Who's your brother?" I asked.
"His name is Takeru Takaishi but you'll probably hear him as TK."
"Oh yeah! He's in my drama class! I also had lunch with him and some other of his friends."
He nodded.
"Well, you know me, and I know you're brother, but I have no idea who you are!"
"Oh, sorry. I'm Yamato Ishida."
"Yamato?"
"You can call me Yama or Matt." He shrugged.
"Oh, ok."
The teacher told us to start taking notes.
"Hey, do you have an extra pencil?" Yama whispered to me.
I gave him a funny look. "You didn't bring any pencils to school?"
He gave me a goofy grin and sweat dropped. "Well, I had one earlier but my girlfriend wanted to do some sketches and she couldn't find a pencil so I gave her mine."
"Ah, a damsel in distress?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that about her."
"I was talking about you." I grinned. "What's with the Goldilocks look?" I joked.
"Hey!"
I snickered quietly and handed him a pencil.
He glared at me. "My knight in shining lip gloss!"
I laughed louder that time and got warned by the teacher to be quiet.
*******
Possibly the best class ever; Art. Cool teachers and work without the stress. The teacher is a nice older lady who says she can't wait to see my work. I blushed because I wasn't really that good at art but I liked it. My strong point was drawing cartoons and such.
The teacher introduced me to the class and then told me to take a seat next to this girl named Sora. Sora had short orange hair and was taller than me. I sat and we began to talk about school and art class. She's seems like a really nice person. I was happy to have met so many cool people today on my first day to a new school.
*******
Sora and I have Literature together for sixth period, which also happened to be the last period of the day. I was glad we walked to class together because I didn't have any idea of where the Literature room was.
When we walked in our classroom, I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few faces I recognized. I saw that Yukio from Drama was in the class but the first person I noticed was Jenashu. As soon as she saw me walk in the door, she waved for me to come sit near her. Sora spotted Yamato and sat in the empty desk behind Jen, which was also next to him. In front of Jen was Izzy. I sat down in the empty desk to Jen's left. She smiled and asked me about my day so far. I replied and then noticed Tai was sitting to Jen's right. I smiled and greeted him and he did the same.
The teacher assigned us a short story and some questions to read. I finished reading and decided I would do the questions at home and began drawing some sketches in my notebook. All the while, Jen was concentrating on the questions for the story and bugging Izzy about what he wrote for number six. Sora and Yama were passing notes. I think Sora read the story but I don't know about Yama. I saw Tai kept nodding off as he read. The next time I looked at him, I saw he finally gave up and crashed right there on his English book. Yama took his Literature book and dropped it on Tai's desk, causing him to awaken suddenly with a jump. Tai then threatened to kill Yama even with a room full of witnesses.
I think this is one of my favorite classes.
*******
My first day of school finally ended. I got everyone's e-mail addresses and I'm now walking to the Odaiba Elementary School.
"Hi Tera!"
"Hey there, cutie!" I smiled.
"Don't call me that." He blushed.
"Sorry, I can't help it! You're so cute!" I laughed. "Well, come on! Let's get home! I'm starving!"
"Grandpa has plenty of yogurt!"
"Yuck! I'm not big on yogurt. I've never liked it."
"Well, I think it tastes good and so does Grandpa."
"Well, more for you guys, I guess. So how was your day, Cody?"
"It was great! All my teachers are really nice to me and I met some new kids!"
"Sounds great! But if you ever start having problems with school, you let me know, ok?"
"Ok."
"I'm serious! If you are getting picked on or something, tell me and I'll put a stop to it! No one messes with my little cousin!"
Cody laughed. "Thanks."
"I told Adam the same thing! If anyone starts giving him a hard time, I'll take the next flight back to the US and kick their butt!"
"You would do that for him?"
"Well, yeah. He may be annoying but he's my little brother. I'm the only one aloud to pick on him."
Cody laughed.
*******
Cody and I walked home. Grandpa was getting ready for Cody's kendo lesson. Actually, Cody's grandpa isn't really my grandpa. He's my dad's sister's father-in-law, but I call him Grandpa anyway.
"We're home, Grandpa!" Cody called out.
Grandpa hollered 'welcome home' from another room.
I went into Cody's bedroom because that was where I slept I kept my stuff. Cody was a very organized little boy.
Cody opened up the refrigerator and got himself some yogurt.
"How was school, Cody?"
Cody looked down at the small yellow ball at his feet. "It was fine, Upamon." He smiled.
"UPAMON!"
"Uh oh!" Upamon sweat dropped. He quickly hopped behind Cody.
I stormed out of the bedroom and stood before Cody. "He did it again! He ate ALL my pocky!" I held the box of chocolate pocky and shook it up side down to prove it.
Cody sighed and looked down at Upamon. "Upamon, you know you shouldn't eat other people's food without permission first."
"How do you know it was me?"
"Because Konekomon doesn't tear open the boxes the way you do!" I held up a box of strawberry pocky that had also been torn into.
A small white cat creature with purple eyes slowly entered the kitchen. "We were hungry and that was the only food we could get to." She said in their defense.
I sighed. "Well, next time we'll make sure you guys have something to eat that's in your reach."
Cody nodded in agreement.
The two creatures' faces lit up. Upamon bounced up into Cody's arms and Konekomon pawed at my sock for me to pick her up.
"Do you think we could have something to eat now?" Konekomon asked.
"Yeah, let's all get something to eat." Cody replied.
"Yay!" Upamon cheered.
I sighed. "Digimon can sure be a handful."
*******
There you go! I really feel that this story will be better then my first one. So that you don't get confused, just forget everything about the old story! Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks everyone!

"Err, uh, sorry ma'am. Math's not my strong point." His brown eyes looked down at his calculator with pity.
I couldn't help but snicker along with the rest of the class. I saw him look at me and I felt my face flush slightly and I turned back around in my seat.
*******
(Tai's POV)
'Aw man! She must think I'm such a loser!' I think as I let my head hit my binder.
*******
(Tera's POV)
Third period. Science. Once again, all the seats in back are taken but I'd rather sit in the front in my science class. I took a seat in the front next to this guy with red hair. I say hello to be polite. He smiled and returned my greeting.
I later discovered that this redhead isn't any ordinary redhead! He seemed to be exceptionally bright. Everyone seemed to want him as their lab partner. I wonder if he could help me with my math homework! He was eventually partnered with this girl with really long light brown hair. I swear his face was as red as his hair!
I looked around in hope that I would find someone else that was like me and needed a partner. That's when the teacher came up behind me and asked if I had a partner. I replied no and that's when she pointed to the other side of the room and said that me and Mr. Yagami would be partners.
I knew that name sounded familiar. I saw the same brown haired boy from last period sitting alone at a table in the back of the classroom. The teacher had everyone sit two at a table and everyone had to sit with their lab partner so I made my way to my new seat.
I walked over to the table where he sat and took my seat. "Hi, I guess we're lab partners." I smiled. Maybe math isn't his strong point but he might be ok in science.
*******
(Tai's POV)
I hate science. It's part math so I think I'm going to be in trouble. I was hoping Izzy would be my lab partner. He knows I'm not good at this stuff, but no! He had to go and have Jen be his lab partner!
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts, I didn't even notice when she walked up to me and took a seat. Her. The girl I've seen all morning.
"Hi, I guess we're lab partners." She smiled.
"Uh, cool." I smile back. This must be my lucky day! We're lab partners! Wait a minute. Lab partners? I suck at science! I'm so screwed! *sigh*
"Are you ok?" I heard her ask. I looked up and saw her looking at me kind of strange.
I smiled nervously. "Oh, no! I'm fine!"
"Alright class, let's get started." The teacher spoke.
*******
(Tera's POV)
'He seems cute- I mean he is cute!- I mean he seems nice!' I can feel my face getting warm suddenly. I glance his way and see him lean over.
"I'm Tai." He whispered.
"I'm Tera." I whispered back.
"Are you related to Cody Hida?"
"Yeah, he's my little cousin."
"Cool. My sister is friends with him."
"I see. So you heard about me?"
"Not really. Where you from?"
"Mr. Yagami, you can either socialize after class or after detention." The teacher spoke, looking at both Tai and me.
"Uh, hai. Gomen nasi." He replied.
The teacher went back to discussing class rules. My face grew warm with embarrassment. Tai gave me an 'I'm sorry' look and we didn't talk to one another for the rest of the class.
*******
The bell rang, signaling third period was over and it was now time for lunch. As I was gathering my stuff, I heard Tai's voice.
"So are you doing anything-?"
"Tai! That was very rude of you getting her in trouble during class!" a voice interrupted him. I saw it was the girl with the long light brown hair, accompanied by the read haired boy. "Hi! I'm Jenashu! I feel I must apologize for my thickheaded cousin over there! He doesn't know when to keep his big mouth shut!"
Tai gave Jen an annoyed look. "It must run in the family."
She rolled her eyes. "So what's your name?"
"I'm Tera."
"Well Tera, why don't you come with me and eat lunch with me and Izzy! You can meet our friends! They're really nice! Come on!" and with that, Jen hauled off both Izzy and Tera.
Tai sweat dropped as he watched his cousin hurry off. "Thanks a lot Jen!" he sighed in aggravation.
*******
Jen pulled Izzy and me into the cafeteria and took us to a lunch table.
"Everyone! This is Tera! She's moved here from America!" Jen announced to the table.
"Um, hi." I waved with a nervous smile.
Jen began to introduce everyone. "This is my cousin, Kari." She pointed. "And this is her friend Yolei."
"We've met." I informed.
"Yeah, we have drama together with TK!" Yolei confirmed.
"Cool! Speaking of TK here he comes!"
"Hi guys!" TK smiled as he sat down with his tray of food. "Hi again!" he smiled to me.
"Hi!" I greeted back.
"TA took the last pudding cup." A spiky haired boy grumbled as he sat down at the table with his tray of food.
"And that ray of sunshine would be Davis." Jen pointed out. "Davis, this is Tera."
"Hi." I greeted him.
"Hey." He responded.
Jen must have caught my gaze.
"Nope, you aren't seeing things. He really does look like Tai." She sighed. "Scary, isn't it?"
"You know Tai?" Kari asked me.
"Yeah, he's in two of my classes."
"Well, he's my brother." Kari smiled.
"Really? Cool." I smiled back.
Lunch went on just like that; small talk, but it was nice. I think I've already made new friends here.
*******
Lunch is over and my day is half through. Forth period; history is next. I ended up in the back of the class when my teacher introduced us to his seating chart.
"Hey, I saw you this morning."
I turned to my left to see a blonde haired boy sitting next to me.
"You did?"
"Yeah, are you Tera?"
"Um, yeah." I raise my brow.
He nodded. "My brother is a friend of Cody's and he told me about you." He then had a questionable smile on his face. "Also Tai mentioned you at lunch. He's the guy you're lab partners with."
"Yeah, I know him. Wow, I feel so popular." I joked.
He chuckled.
"Who's your brother?" I asked.
"His name is Takeru Takaishi but you'll probably hear him as TK."
"Oh yeah! He's in my drama class! I also had lunch with him and some other of his friends."
He nodded.
"Well, you know me, and I know you're brother, but I have no idea who you are!"
"Oh, sorry. I'm Yamato Ishida."
"Yamato?"
"You can call me Yama or Matt." He shrugged.
"Oh, ok."
The teacher told us to start taking notes.
"Hey, do you have an extra pencil?" Yama whispered to me.
I gave him a funny look. "You didn't bring any pencils to school?"
He gave me a goofy grin and sweat dropped. "Well, I had one earlier but my girlfriend wanted to do some sketches and she couldn't find a pencil so I gave her mine."
"Ah, a damsel in distress?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that about her."
"I was talking about you." I grinned. "What's with the Goldilocks look?" I joked.
"Hey!"
I snickered quietly and handed him a pencil.
He glared at me. "My knight in shining lip gloss!"
I laughed louder that time and got warned by the teacher to be quiet.
*******
Possibly the best class ever; Art. Cool teachers and work without the stress. The teacher is a nice older lady who says she can't wait to see my work. I blushed because I wasn't really that good at art but I liked it. My strong point was drawing cartoons and such.
The teacher introduced me to the class and then told me to take a seat next to this girl named Sora. Sora had short orange hair and was taller than me. I sat and we began to talk about school and art class. She's seems like a really nice person. I was happy to have met so many cool people today on my first day to a new school.
*******
Sora and I have Literature together for sixth period, which also happened to be the last period of the day. I was glad we walked to class together because I didn't have any idea of where the Literature room was.
When we walked in our classroom, I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few faces I recognized. I saw that Yukio from Drama was in the class but the first person I noticed was Jenashu. As soon as she saw me walk in the door, she waved for me to come sit near her. Sora spotted Yamato and sat in the empty desk behind Jen, which was also next to him. In front of Jen was Izzy. I sat down in the empty desk to Jen's left. She smiled and asked me about my day so far. I replied and then noticed Tai was sitting to Jen's right. I smiled and greeted him and he did the same.
The teacher assigned us a short story and some questions to read. I finished reading and decided I would do the questions at home and began drawing some sketches in my notebook. All the while, Jen was concentrating on the questions for the story and bugging Izzy about what he wrote for number six. Sora and Yama were passing notes. I think Sora read the story but I don't know about Yama. I saw Tai kept nodding off as he read. The next time I looked at him, I saw he finally gave up and crashed right there on his English book. Yama took his Literature book and dropped it on Tai's desk, causing him to awaken suddenly with a jump. Tai then threatened to kill Yama even with a room full of witnesses.
I think this is one of my favorite classes.
*******
My first day of school finally ended. I got everyone's e-mail addresses and I'm now walking to the Odaiba Elementary School.
"Hi Tera!"
"Hey there, cutie!" I smiled.
"Don't call me that." He blushed.
"Sorry, I can't help it! You're so cute!" I laughed. "Well, come on! Let's get home! I'm starving!"
"Grandpa has plenty of yogurt!"
"Yuck! I'm not big on yogurt. I've never liked it."
"Well, I think it tastes good and so does Grandpa."
"Well, more for you guys, I guess. So how was your day, Cody?"
"It was great! All my teachers are really nice to me and I met some new kids!"
"Sounds great! But if you ever start having problems with school, you let me know, ok?"
"Ok."
"I'm serious! If you are getting picked on or something, tell me and I'll put a stop to it! No one messes with my little cousin!"
Cody laughed. "Thanks."
"I told Adam the same thing! If anyone starts giving him a hard time, I'll take the next flight back to the US and kick their butt!"
"You would do that for him?"
"Well, yeah. He may be annoying but he's my little brother. I'm the only one aloud to pick on him."
Cody laughed.
*******
Cody and I walked home. Grandpa was getting ready for Cody's kendo lesson. Actually, Cody's grandpa isn't really my grandpa. He's my dad's sister's father-in-law, but I call him Grandpa anyway.
"We're home, Grandpa!" Cody called out.
Grandpa hollered 'welcome home' from another room.
I went into Cody's bedroom because that was where I slept I kept my stuff. Cody was a very organized little boy.
Cody opened up the refrigerator and got himself some yogurt.
"How was school, Cody?"
Cody looked down at the small yellow ball at his feet. "It was fine, Upamon." He smiled.
"UPAMON!"
"Uh oh!" Upamon sweat dropped. He quickly hopped behind Cody.
I stormed out of the bedroom and stood before Cody. "He did it again! He ate ALL my pocky!" I held the box of chocolate pocky and shook it up side down to prove it.
Cody sighed and looked down at Upamon. "Upamon, you know you shouldn't eat other people's food without permission first."
"How do you know it was me?"
"Because Konekomon doesn't tear open the boxes the way you do!" I held up a box of strawberry pocky that had also been torn into.
A small white cat creature with purple eyes slowly entered the kitchen. "We were hungry and that was the only food we could get to." She said in their defense.
I sighed. "Well, next time we'll make sure you guys have something to eat that's in your reach."
Cody nodded in agreement.
The two creatures' faces lit up. Upamon bounced up into Cody's arms and Konekomon pawed at my sock for me to pick her up.
"Do you think we could have something to eat now?" Konekomon asked.
"Yeah, let's all get something to eat." Cody replied.
"Yay!" Upamon cheered.
I sighed. "Digimon can sure be a handful."
*******
There you go! I really feel that this story will be better then my first one. So that you don't get confused, just forget everything about the old story! Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks everyone!
