Destiny Takes Its Step

Sora walked on the noisy hallway, the students bustled along busily beside her. Upon reaching her own locker, she heard screaming and giggles from girls that were crowded on the bulletin board of the school. Puzzled, she decided to join them.

"Sora! Come here!"

It was Haruko, one of her close friends in school. She smiled and walked over to Haruko. "What's the noise all about?" Sora asked loudly so Haruko could hear her.

"Haven't you read it?" she yelled back.

When Sora shook her head, Haruko grabbed her arm and together they made their way towards the front. Then, Haruko pointed at a flyer.

"Read!" Haruko ordered.

Sora turned her head to the flyer and read out the words.

"Teenage Wolves will perform in the school dance" Sora read and she turned to her friend.

Haruko shook her head and pointed at the bottom. "Not that! Read this one!"

Sora lingered her eyes down the bottom part of the flyer and saw the message.

"They're looking for a female singer for the dance" she said.

Haruko raised her eyebrow and placed her hands on her hips. "Hello?! Is that your reaction?!?! I mean, can you not be a little excited about it?"

Sora looked at her friend. "Excited? Why should I?" Sora tried to get out of the crazy girl crowd, followed by Haruko.

"Oh Sora! You could do that!" Haruko exclaimed.

Sora stopped walking and laughed. "Haruko, I'm not good enough to be a singer." Sora pointed. Haruko sighed. "Well, I bet you'd be on the stage when the dance comes"

They reached Sora's locker and Sora dumped her school books in. Haruko rested her back on a green locker and stared at her friend. "Why don't you sign up for it? It wouldn't hurt you anyway"

"No" Sora answered simply. "Haruko-chan, they are looking for someone who has to have a beautiful voice and has got to have the looks and poise also."

"Isn't that your description?"

Sora looked down and stared at her feet. I do want to join but "Haruko, I made up my mind. I'll not join it."

Taichi looked up from the table and stared at the frowning Yamato across from him. "Hey man! Why the long face?"

"They are becoming more aggressive again" he heard Yamato muttered. Taichi laughed quietly.

"What did they do now?"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"Hey guys! What's up?"

The two boys looked up and saw their ever-cheerful best friend. "Hey Sora!" Tai greeted.

"Sora!" Yamato said happily and moved, so that Sora has a place beside him. Sora smiled and sat down.

Taichi smirked and took a bite of his burger. "So, Sora is your medicine huh?"

"What?" Yamato and Sora asked.

Taichi rolled his eyes and continued eating. "Nothing"

"What did you say?" the two asked again.

"What I said was" Taichi looked at Yamato and pointed at him. "Sora is your medicine." Taichi said simply, which caused the two to blush.

"Taichi" Sora warned, her eyes looked straight at Taichi.

"No! I really mean it! You see, when Yamato's down, and when you come up suddenly, he's all Mr. I-am-the-happiest-guy-in-the-world-and-I-have-no-problems! And vice-versa also"

The two peeked at each other, then looked at the opposite direction so that no one notices their blush, which Taichi could see clearly and is now chuckling. Ahh......I love myself Taichi thought, taking a bite on his burger.

End of school

"Sora, I'm going home now. Wanna come?"

Sora closed her bag and looked at Haruko. "No. I still need to talk to Taichi"

Haruko smiled inwardly. Oooohluck is on my side! "Well, okaybye!"

She bolted out the doors and went straight to the auditorium where the auditions for the female singer are going on.

Upon arriving there, there was a really long line of girls. Haruko sighed. Sora better thank me for this she thought as she falls in line.

Taichi straightened his figure when he saw Sora running towards him. "You're 3 minutes late"

Sora smirked and dropped her bag. "You sound like Mimi. Anyway, you're in big trouble, wise-mouth!"

Oh boy Taichi thought. "What did I do?" Taichi asked innocently.

"Taichi! What if Yamato saw through your joke?!"

"Sora, what I said during lunch was not a joke."

Sora sighed irritatingly and placed her hand on her hips. "What if he starts moving away from me because I like him?"

"Trust mehe wouldn't do that. Especially to his own best friend."

Sora sat down by the tree and leaned her back on it. "That's just it Tai. I'm his best friend"

Taichi sat down also. "Sora, you should tell him how you feel. It's really difficult for me to see you all sad because of Yamato's dates and fans."

"I would never, ever tell him what I feel." Sora whispered.

She's too stubborn for her own good...Taichi tapped his friend's shoulder. "It's either you tell him and know that he likes you back or not tell him and forever wonder what his feelings for you"

Sora looked at Taichi then bursts into tears.

"Next!"

Finally! Haruko thought as she jumped in front of the table and looks for a pen. Someone gave her one and she looked up and gasped.

"Yamato!"

He smiled. "Yeaharen't you Sora's friend?"

Haruko nodded her head. "So, you wanna try out?" Yamato asked. Haruko paled and laughed nervously. "Um actually, one of my friends wants to but she asked me to write her name. It's okay right?"

Please say yesplease say yes

"Sure, why not!"

Haruko laughed happily and jumped up and down, which caused the girls in line and the four Teenage wolves to stare at her. She blushed and, when Yamato's not looking, scribbled down her friend's name under the long list.
