A More Than Average Day at School
"Brrrrring!" Tai stumbled out of bed and yawned.
"Morning already, huh?" He shut off the alarm clock and yawned loudly again. Tai went out of his room and into the kitchen.
"Good morning son," Mrs. Kamiya said cheerfully while cracking eggs onto the frying pan.
"Morning…" Tai grumbled as he sat down at kitchen table.
"Morning Tai," Kari greeted.
"Who can you two be so cheerful and awake in the morning?" he asked as he laid his forehead on the table.
"The reason that we're awake is because we get a good nights rest. You know you shouldn't stay up so late talking on the phone with your friends and such," Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Yeah Tai. And you'll never get good grades if you're sleeping through all your classes," Kari laughed. Tai tried to make her quiet down about his "studying in class habits" when Mrs. Kamiya spoke up.
"Tai, are you really sleeping in class?" she asked him in an angry tone. Tai began to panic.
"No, Kari is giving and example. Why would she know what I do in class? Unless she was skipping classes…" Tai grinned evilly at Kari. Kari then panicked.
"Which I would never do," Kari said quickly. Mrs. Kamiya looked at the two with a weird look.
"Um…okay then. Come on and eat your breakfast." They ate their breakfast then got ready for school. Tai was the last to be ready. He caught up to the bus before it left without him. Eventually he got to school. Sora was waiting up front of the school for him. Tai ran up to her.
"I'm sorry I was late," he said.
"I thought you might have died on the way over here. Well, it's good to see that you are actually alive this time," she laughed. Tai began blush a little but he hid it from her.
"Yeah, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long," Tai said. She smiled at him.
"That's okay. I don't mind. I expected that you might be late," she said. Sora grinned.
"But I was kind of mad because I was waiting for a half an hour," she said.
"You were not. Even I know you don't get to school that early on a Monday," he said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." She walked into the school entrance and Tai followed.
"So why did you want to see me in the first place?" he asked her.
"I need help with something personal…" she said. Tai looked at her.
"What is it?" Tai asked. Sora looked down and blushed.
"There's this guy…and I really…" she stopped. She was too embarrassed.
"You really…" Tai said. She began again.
"I really like him…like as a crush. And I've liked him for awhile now and I wanted your advice on how I should ask him out," she said blushing more. Then, a thought struck Tai. Could she be talking about him? He became uneasy at the thought. It probably never would happen but then it could. She did say she liked someone for a long time and Tai and Sora knew each other longer than anyone else. And why would Sora ask him about love advice? She could of just asked Mimi or one of her other school friends.
"Tai?" Sora said. Tai snapped out of his little fantasy world.
"Huh?"
"Were you in La La Land again?" she said laughing.
"No. Sorry," he said scratching the back of his head.
"So what's your solution for my problem?" she asked.
"Oh, yeah. Um…you should just ask this guy to a movie or something like that. If you hit it off on the first one, then you could probably go on another. Then you can get to know him better and he'll get to know you better. Well I don't really know much stuff on dating so…"
"No, it's very good advice. Thank you," Sora said.
"Sure," Tai said back. The bell rang.
"Well, we better go to class now or we'll be late," she said. She began to walk down the hall then turned back towards him.
"Are you coming?"
"Yeah, I am." They both walked into their first period class.
