3. Who's There?
I left the bathroom still in choque. I couldn't have even imagined Kay could be so sympathetic. I thought he was just a brat but he wasn't. On my way out, I saw Taichi and Tsubane. They were kissing and hugging. Again I felt like throwing up. I ran as fast as I could home.
When I arrived, my mom wasn't home yet, so I went straight to the bathroom. I took Kay's scarf out and started disinfecting my hand, bandaging it when I was over. Then I out on my pyjama and lied down on my bed.
I stared at the ceiling thinking about all the stuff that had happened that day. About Taichi and Kay. I hated the fact that Taichi had another girlfriend, but still, I wanted to see him happy. But I couldn't help being sad. And then, there was Kay. He had been so nice to me all day. First after the concert and then in the party.
My feelings were confused. I loved Taichi but he had a girlfriend and Kay was so cool and all. I shook my head to clear my mind, and I remembered about the broken mirror. Man, Matt was going to be so mad, when he finds out. So, I just decided to call him. And I owned him an apology for leaving without saying anything. I picked the phone and dialled his number.
"Hi, Ishida Yamato here?" a voice replied from the other side of the line.
"Hi Matt. It's Sora" I replied. "Sora?! Were are you? I thought you were here?" he said. "Yeah, but I wasn't feeling very good so I came home earlier. Look, I think you didn't go to your bathroom yet, but I called just to tell ya that I'll pay for it, okay? Sorry. Bye." I put the phone back in its place. I could hear Yamato's voice saying what in a confused tone on the other side, but I didn't want him to start asking questions so I just hung up.
I made my way to the kitchen and picked some cookies on the way. Then I went to bed again. I turned on my CDs' player and put Linkin Park playing. It was my type of music. The one that made you think about something important.
It was half past four in the morning and I still hadn't gone to sleep. My mom had arrived about two and went straight to bed, not even caring if I was already in bed. I turned once more the music on and crawled to my bed again.
I couldn't stop thinking and that filled my mind and didn't allow me to sleep. I finally gave up. It was five in the morning and I was still awake. I crawled off bed and turned on my computer.
It took about three minutes till I got access to the Internet. I logged in and entered my favourite website. I started reading the stories there and that filled my mind. It was a fiction website where people from everywhere posted their stories. Every time I started reading, it was like the rest of the world was gone.
I stayed there reading until seven when I turned off the computer and dressed myself. It was a school day. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had these black holes under my eyes. I washed my face with cold water in order to wake myself.
The kitchen was empty when I arrived. My mom was still asleep. I walked in and started making breakfast. I put milk in a giant bowl and added cereals. Then I started eating.
My mom woke up at half past seven. "What are you doing already up?" she asked me. I was about to answer but I was interrupted. "What time did you arrive last night? I told you not to stay past twelve didn't I?" I was about to reply, when I got interrupted ... again. "You're always hanging out with your friends, but that's over girl. It's time to take some responsibilities. "she said.
"But ..." I tried for the third time. "No buts. Now get your ass up and go do your bed." She said. What the hell?! She didn't even listen to me. Was she mad? Always going out? I felt like slap her. I hadn't gone out with my friends for almost two months, and I had to beg her to go to that concert.
"I already did my bed." I answered. The hint of challenge was clear in my voice. She looked deep into my eyes. My rage was up to the limit. I didn't have to put that up with everyday. The next thing I know, I was lying on the floor with my hand over my cheek. This time there were no tears. I bit my lip in anger till it was bleeding.
"After school, I want you to help me at the flower shop." She said and left. I stood up, picked my bag up and left too to school. It was so unfair. I lived alone with my mom. My father had abandoned her when she got pregnant with me and she had always kept rage from him and discharged it on me.
It was still early when I arrived school, so I just sat outside waiting for my friends. I was still pissed off with my mom. Going out every day... she was definitely out of her mind.
It was almost time for school, but my friends hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly I heard a noise from behind me. I turned to find Kay standing there. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scary you!" he said approaching and sitting by my side. I smiled. Someone that cared about me.
"Of course. Don't worry." I told him. "I wanted to..." I started but I stopped when I felt his hand on mine. "I see you bandaged your hand properly." He replied. "About yesterday, do you need to talk?" he asked. I looked at him.
"That's exactly what I'm trying to say. I wanted to thank you for... you know...being with me." I said. He smiled. A smile so beautiful. "Don't need to thank. I was just helping out a friend." Kay replied. "But, are you better now?"
I nodded. Yeah I was much better now. We remained there chatting, until Mimi arrived. Somehow I felt like she was taking away the fun I was having talking with Kay. We seemed long date friends and I was having such a great time with him that I almost forgot about Taichi.
But Mimi arrived. She approached us. "Hi!" "Hi Mimi" I replied. "I think I better go now." Kay said to my unhappiness. "No!" I replied. "Stay. We were having such a great time." "We'll chat later, Sor. But now, I really must go." He said. Then he kissed me in my cheek, and waved bye to Mimi while he went inside the school building.
Mimi sat by my side. She had a strange look on her face. "We need to talk." She said with the most serious look I had ever seen. "What about?" I asked looking at the door where Kay had disappeared through. "About Taichi." She said. My eyes dropped. I knew she was taking away the fun I was having.
"What about him?" I asked, trying not to sound sad. "What happened last night, Sora? You left after breaking Matt's bathroom mirror. Look at your hand." She said grabbing my bandaged hand. I retrieved my hand from hers and kept looking ahead. "I told Matt not to worry. I'll pay for it." I said. Mimi sighed. "You know Matt is not worry about the mirror, but about you, and so are Izzy, Jyou and I."
Yeah, I know they were worried about me, but so what? "You don't need to be worried. I lost my temper for a sec there. It won't happen again, okay?" I replied. Mimi sighed again. She was annoying me with all the sighing.
"What about Kay? What were you doing with him last night?" she asked. This was too much. "What the hell do you have to do with my life? I think I can be with whoever I wish, doing whatever I want. You seem like my mother. Besides we were only talking." I yelled. Then I stood up and walked away, but not too far, 'cause Mimi came after me.
"Is it truth that you two were smoking yesterday?" I stopped and faced her, my face burning in anger. "Who told you that?" "Jyou and Izzy said you smelled to cigarettes." She said. "Were you smoking Sora? I'm your friend, you can tell me." "Yeah, but it was just one. And who are Jyou and Izzy to spy on what I'm doing?" I yelled again and walked away.
"But, Sora, we're just trying to help you." Mimi said chasing me. "Well, forget it. I'm okay. I don't need help." I replied and then ran away from her. Mimi wasn't that good in sports and quickly got tired. I just kept running. I didn't feel like going to class, but I wasn't going home either.
I ended up in an alley. My eyes were crying again. Tears of anger and sadness; I didn't know how I felt any more. I punched the naked wall with my bandaged fist that started bleeding again, covering the bandage with blood. I looked at my hurt hand and leaned against the wall crying, allowing myself to fall and sit on the street, crying myself out.
Suddenly, I heard a sound from behind a trash bin. "Who's there?" I asked.
-- Liking it so far? I hope so. Thanks Kawaii-Q for reviewing. It means a lot to me. As always, I'll try to write the next chapter as soon as I can. About Taichi. Well, he may be with Tsubane now, but he certainly won't end up with her. About Sora. I don't know. I like my new character, Kay, and Sora is definitely falling for him but she still has feelings for Taichi, so I don't really know what's going to happen. About Takari. I'm sorry not to put them on my latest chapters, but I think they will end up with a good role on Sora's fate.
PS: this chapter has been edited.
