What Will Happen Next?

Chapter 2: I still love you

A few busy weeks went by. Sora was really busy with all her classes and clubs and teams she had joined. Even though she got really tired sometimes, she was still having fun.

Sora was doing her sketches of clothes that she was designing, when she heard a knock. She went to open it and found Tai.

"Hey, Sora."

"Hey, Tai."

"Wazzup?"

"Nothing much, you?"

"Same. So what you doing?"

"Just doing some sketches for class."

"Kool, can I see?"

"Ya, sure."

"Sora, these sketches are beautiful. You're going to ve a very good fashion desinger."

"Thanks, Tai. So what brings you here?"

"Um...I've got a question."

"What is it?"

"Would you go out with me?" Sora was so suprised by that question. She didn't know how to answer it.

"Um...Tai...I...of course I will." At this Tai ran to hug his new girlfriend.

"So, wanna walk around, Sora?"

"Ya, let's go to the mall. I need to get new ideas for my sketches. They went to the mall and walked into many different clothes store. They decided that they were too tired and thirsty to go on, so they went into a cafe. THe cage was packed with people. They spotted Matt and Katie at a table for four, so they went to join them.

"Hey guys," said Sora.

"Hey, Sora, Tai," replied Katie.

"So, you guys going out?" asked Matt seeing them hold hands.

"Ya, now we could go on double dates," replied Sora. They talked for a while. When Matt saw Tai put his arm around Sora, Matt felt jealous.

"Sorry, I have to go to dance club."

"On a Sunday, Sora?" asked Matt.

"Ya, on Moday I have tennis practise at four o'clock, on Tuesday I have photography club, on Wednesday I have the swimming squad, on Thursday i have drama club, on Friday I'm free, on Saturday I hav dance commity and on Surnday I have dance club. I'm quite busy, you know."

"Quite?" asked Matt. "If I had to go to all that things I would me dead by now."

"It's really fun actually. Anyways I better start walking or else I'm gonna be late. Bye."

"I'll walk with you, Sora," said Tai.

"Ok, let's go." They walked to a room with a really big mirror at the front and lots of chairs at the side. There was a big cd player at the front of the room. The room was painted light blue with tiles as the floor.

Tai watched Sora dance. They were dancing to Christina Aguilera, Can't Hold Us Down. Tai stayed til six o'clock when dance club was over. Then Sora and Tai walked hand in hand to Sora's room. When Sora opened the door, Tai pulled Sora's arm back, which caused het to turn around. Tai kissed Sora on the lips, but he was sure if it was a good idea, untill Sora kissed back. After a minute Sora pulled away.

"Goodnight, Sora."

"Night, Tai." With a final hug, Tai left.

"Oh my god, Sora! What should I do with my hair?"

"I suggest tie it up in a ponytail or you could just leave it down."

"I think I'll tie it up in a ponytail. I'm so excited about the dance."

"The decorations are really good. Well of course it's really good, I was in charge of that."

"Kool. You look so nice in that." Sora had on a black mini skirt with a white spaghetti strap tank top. She tied her hair in a high, wavy ponytail. She had on black high heel boots.

"You look amazing, too Katie." Katie had on a pair of black hip huggers with a black tank top. Her heair was now tied in a ponytail. She had on black high heels.

"Hey, the boys are here. I'll go get the door while you put on your makeup, Sora."

"Ok, thanks."

"Hey, Sora you look great."

"Thanks, Tai." Sora gave Tai a quick peck on his lips. "Hey why's everyone wearing black." Both of the boys were wearing black pants and a black t-shirt wit black shoes.

"I don't know," replied Matt. The two couples walked together towards the dance.

"I wonder if anyone wore costumes," asked Tai.

"I don't think so. I think we're getting a bit too old to dress up for Halloween," replied Sora. They were quiet all the way to the dance.

When they entered the dance, it was a slow song. The couples went to dance. The dance went by really fast. Tai and Sora were mostly dancing together, but sometimes Sora would dance with Al, Phil, Ed or Andy, while Tai dances with Jen, Meg, Viv or Michelle. Soon the last song came and it was This I Promise You by NSYNC.

"Sora, can I have this dance?"

"What about Katie and Tai?"

"They can dance together," replied Matt. So Sora and Matt ended up dancing with each other Tai and Katie were talking at a table.

"I think Matt still have feeling for Sora. Were they really close in highschool?" asked Katie.

"Ya, real close. They spend everyday together. If Sora had tennis, Matt would go watch her. If Matt had band practise, Sora would go watch him. Every Friday they would go watch a movie and then go out for dinner. Every Saturday they would have dinner at Sora's house with Sora's mother. Every Sunday they would hav dinner at Matt's house, sometimes with Matt's father. They would tell each other everything that was bothering them and everything that happend to them on that day."

"Wow. What happend? Why did they break up?"

"They didn't. Matt had to move with his father to New York city. That was probably Sora's worst day ever in her life, same with Matt. Both of them were heart broken. Sora stayed in her house for weeks. She refused to come out. She only came out to go to school and then she would head straight back to her house. She didn't even go to her tennis games. Sora was so sad, she would cry eveytime someone said Matt's name. I don't know how she ever got happy again."

"That's so sad."

"Ya, it is."

Meanwhild Sora and Matt were dancing.

"I still love you, Sora. Every time I see you with Tai together it breaks my heart. I just wish..."

"Matt, please. We're both seeing other people."

"Sora let me finish. I wish I've never had to move. I know we'd still be together. I"m gonna break up with Katie soon."

"Why, Matt? She a really great girl."

"I just think of her as a friend, that's all." The song ended and Sora walked away from Matt to where Tai and Katie were. The two couples then left.

The next night Sora was in her room doing her English homework, when Katie came running in crying. Sora automatically knew what happend, but she still asked. "What happend, Katie?"

"Matt broke up with me."

"It's alright. You shouldn't cry over a guy."

"Like you didn't when you and Matt broke up. He's a real heart breaker."

"No, he isn't. When he broke up with me it was only because he had to move. When he broke up with you it's only because...well I don't kno the reason. Do you?"

At this Katie cried harder. "It's...because...of...you!"

"What?"

"He...still...have...feelings...for...you."

"No, you've got it all wrong, Katie."

"No, I haven't. You could tell he still likes you, maybe even loves you."

"Katie..."

"Don't talk to me, Sora." At that Katie ran out the door. She returned after twenty minutes later with the vice-principal.

"Miss Takenouchi, I believe there has been a problem between tou and miss Sanders. Miss Sanders has insisted that she get another room." When Sora didn't say anything, the vice-principal contiued. "So, miss Takenouchi you may keep this room and miss Sanders would move into a different room. I hope you two would resume your friendship later. I've got to be going now. Goodnight to both of you." With that the prinicpal left.

"Look, Katie its not my faulr. Why are you mad at me?" Katie ignored Sora. "I'm sorry for whatever I did." Katie still ignored her. "Please, Katie."

"Look I just don't want to talk to you, so would you just leave me alone?" shouted Katie.

Sora took this as a sign and stopped trying to talk to her. She took out her book, Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. When Katie finished packing she was about to leave when Tai entered the room.

"What's wrong, Katie? Why are you packing you stuff?" asked Tai.

"I don't want to talk about it," replied Katie. She then continued walking down the hallway. Tai just stared at the back of Katie until she disappered around the corner. He then turned around to face Sora. He found her crying.

"What's wrong, Sora? Why are you crying?" Tai walked over to Sora and hugged her. Soon Sora fell asleep on Tai's shoulder. He didn't want to wake her up so he fell asleep, too.

A week passed and Katie was still not talking to Sora. Sora tried talking to her, but whenever Sora came a metre distance from Katie, Katie would walk away. This made Sora mad and sad.

Soon teacher were giving the students a lot of homework, assignments, projects, tests and exams because winter holidays are coming closer. Sora was far too busy to even bother walking towards Katie.

"Sora, you in there?" asked Tai while knocking on the door.

"Ya, come in, Tai." Tai went over to Sora's room after Katie moved.

"Wanna go Christmas shopping with me? I haven't even started, yet and I need major help."

"I don't know,Tai. I mean I've got a lot of sketches to do."

"Please, Sora. You could do them tomorrow."

"Fine, but I have to go to work in..." she looked at her watch. "...four hours."

"Thank you so much, Sora. I love you. We've got plenty of time." They walked down to the mall.

"So how many presents do you need?"

"Matt, Jas, Ryan, Nick, Al, Katie, Jen, Meg, your mother, my mother, my father and Kari. I think that's it."

"Hey, what about me?" she asked even though she knew Tai would never foget her.

"I don't know, you've been kind of naughty and mean this year."

"If I'm mean then I wouldn't be down here shopping."

"True, but you've been naughty."

"But I'm always a good girl."

"Whatever, Sora. So what about your gift list?"

"I already got everyone's present. I got Matt, Al, Jen, Meg, Kim, Viv, Jess, Bel, Vanessa, Phil, Ed, Andy, you, your mother and father, Kari and my mother."

"That's a lot of people. You already got all of their gift?"

"Yup, so what you gonna get those people?"

"I don't know. That's what I need help with." They shopped until Sora had to go to work.
