Wow.. I couldn't wait to get this chapie up… so here ya is!
Ocean: have at it…but you'll have to beat him up before matt does…unlikely…but yeah…he makes for a mean antagonist…I guess that means I'm doing my job as a writer…
And to everyone: Tahankies for reviewing! …I am getting to Sorato…no one loves it more then me…but no one stalls as much as me either…
Ok..I ended up throwing matt's personality around but I make this stuff up as I go.. he kinda like how he should be now…but he still matt..I-…sigh
Perfect end to a perfect dayMatt's fist flew so fast Zack didn't even have time to react. It impacted with his cheek bone. After that it was a fury of fists. (a.n. …I don't do fight scenes so much..) Both guys were angry. Matt was furious.
Jake, one of the band members, saw the fight and ran to stop it. Matt, while getting hit himself, was beating the stuffing out of Zack. Darting up to Matt, Jake grabbed his arms and locked them behind his back. Zack got to a safer five foot reach. Then Matt got one arm free and managed to punch Zack.
"Knock it off Matt you're going to get in trouble!" Jake hissed. He had Matt half-way held back in somewhat of a lock and wasn't letting go.
Matt flung his weight forward hoping Jake's grip would slip. But Jake wouldn't have it. T.k. ran up and gently but firmly grabbed Matt's free arm. "Matt. Hey! Knock it off! He's not worth it."
Matt eyes blazed fiercely and he glared at T.k.
The fight got the principal's attention. He went over demanding to know what was going on.
"Well you see sir-"
"Save it Zack! Zack, Yamato, follow me!" The principal met Matt's gaze. (a.n. I guess I need a name…)
Matt severely wanted to hit Zack again. Getting in trouble didn't bother him, he was used to it. Let the principal try and do something. And he couldn't get in any more trouble for a few more punches. He would have if Jake and T.k. hadn't been there to stop him.
"Mr. Ishida do you have something you'd like to say?"
Matt blinked, looked away, and the anger disappeared. "No sir."
They followed the principal back to school, the last place Matt wanted to be.
The phone rang, again. Finally giving up Matt picked it up.
"What T.k.!?"
"Umm…Matt, this is Sora."
"…Oh, sorry."
"Do you want to talk?"
Matt was yelling at himself to say no, but no words would come. "…"
"Ok, how about I come over? I'm not too far from your apartment right?"
"Sora, I don't want to bother y-"
"Being there for a friend is no trouble for me. I'll be over in a few minutes."
At the sound of a knock Matt opened the door. He realized he was glad she had come over.
"You wanna sit down?"
"Sure." Sora, without hesitating, took a seat in the middle of the couch. Matt uneasily sat next to her. She looked over at him. "Do you want to watch a movie?"
Matt smiled. Sora was so nice. "Thanks Sora."
She glanced at him uncertainly. "Umm… No prob. What one?"
Chuckling, Matt pulled her back. "Forget the movie. You came over to listen. To be a friend. And I need someone to talk to." He leaned back. "Mr. Kenor (a.n. la principal) threatened to suspend me. He already did Zack."
"But he knows you're a good kid right so he isn't going to right?"
Matt lifted his eyebrows up. "Well…not exactly. I kind of went off about Zack and what Zack said. He said if I could stay out of any trouble for a while then I'd be fine."
"What did Zack say?"
"Uh….well…you know, just some mean stuff about you and Tai…" Matt glanced at her, hoping she wouldn't press the matter.
"I'm glad Zack got suspended. That guy gets under my skin." Sora replied.
Matt just nodded. He couldn't look at her. She was so nice. So perfect. Then he remembered she knew he liked her. His heart stopped, but his face remained rigid.
Sora noticed his quiteness. "Matt are you okay?"
He didn't think twice. His feelings took over. "I'm always okay when I'm around you Sora." (a.n. ok cheesy line I know, but it's true and it works…)
Now it was Sora's turn to be speechless.
He turned her head so she was facing him. "Sora, I did enjoy that kiss. I'd like to think you did too. I guess I was just too nervous to say anything." He paused to grin boyishly. "You're amazing. And I think I've always been attracted to you."
"I-I…"
He smiled. "Don't bother. I know how that is. You were the first girl, the only girl, to take away my cool."
"Matt…"
"Is that a yes?"
Sora blinked, baffled. "A yes to what?"
Giving her the Ishida smile Matt said, "To a date of course."
"What!? But you-I!"
"Hey, I got you past speechlessness."
"You big jerk!" She punched him lightly on the shoulder.
His face straightened. "Seriously though."
"A date?"
"…I believe that's what I said. Yes. A date."
"Yamato Ishida, you!" She stopped, looked at his foolish grin. "You sure did get past the shy thing quick!"
"Well, if I wait around too long a pretty girl like you is gonna find someone else."
Decided to play his game she went toward the door.
Matt looked at her nervously before jumping to his feet. "Hey! What does that mean!?"
Winking at him Sora said, "It means you better be on time when you pick me up at noon tomorrow." Then she closed the door behind her.
Matt collapsed on the couch in relief. He told himself that's what he got. Saturday. That was as good a day for a date as any other.
He got up, went to his bedroom, got changed and sat on the bed. That's when it hit him. He was about to go on a date with Sora. What had he done? He almost panicked. What had he said? He had flirted with her. But tomorrow he had a date with Sora Takenouchi. Life simply didn't get much better. Thinking about the irony he fell back and laughed until he fell asleep.
Matt stood motionless in front of an open window. He closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh morning air. He had four hours until he was to pick Sora up. The time was going to pass slow. He decided to go to the auditorium to practice. Jake was there. Matt perfected some notes on his guitar and wrote a song.
Jake looked over Matt's shoulder, trying to see what he was writing. "Watcha workin on?"
Matt pulled away. "A song. Go away."
"Oh come on."
"No, you can hear it when I sing it."
Jake sighed, giving up. "Fine. At least tell me what the title is."
Getting up to leave Matt stuck the papers in his pocket. "Rock Star," he said over his shoulder as he left.
He pulled up at Sora's house and walked to the door. Making a fist he lifted his hand up to knock. He was interrupted as the door opened revealing a beautiful girl with flaming hair.
"You look nice Sora."
"Thanks. You're ten minutes early."
"I had to make a good first impression didn't I?"
Sora smile was radiant. "Well, impression made."
Matt lifted his eyebrows questioningly. "And?"
"I'll let you know when this date is over."
Matt smiled and led her to the car. He helped her in. Then he got in and turned the keys. He already had the perfect place in mind. It was a nice restaurant but not too fancy. He didn't want to intimidate Sora. He got to the building and parked. Taking a deep breath he got out to open Sora's door but she already had herself. Walking with her to the doors he hoped he wouldn't do anything stupid.
