Chapter II – What, can't recognize your best friend anymore?
Sora sighed as she entered the large cafeteria. The day was hard on her. Being the new girl made her completely a stranger to the new environment and she felt lost at the new school. Getting on line for lunch, she stood by herself, trying to look busy. The lunch served that day was macaroni and cheese, or what was a sad attempt at it. Sora looked down at the pale yellow mound on her plate, and quickly decided to bring her own lunch from then on. She looked up from the plate and was met with a new dilemma; she had to find a place to sit. Everyone was in their little 'groups' already, leaving no space for Sora anywhere.
There was a strange cry that came from one of the larger tables that sounded strangely like her name. The cry was heard again and she realized it was her name. Looking towards the direction of the sound, she was met with the most wonderful site that day. Her eyes widened at the boy that had been her childhood friend, and had remained up until today, as most probably, her best friend.
She walked slowly towards him, scared that if she walked too fast, the mirage might fade away. When she got close enough for him to hear her, she hesitantly called his name. "Tai?"
The chocolate-haired boy laughed, "Sora! What, can't recognize your best friend anymore?"
"Oh my gosh, Tai…" Sora put down the tray she held in her hands on a nearby table and embraced Tai in a friendly hug. "Tai!"
He laughed more at her reaction and just held her, glad to have her in his arms again. "God, Sora, it's good to see you again." He whispered as he ran a hand through her hair, taking in her scent.
Sora stepped back, out of Tai's reach and picked up her tray. "You too, Tai. You too…"
"Hey Sora, you wanna come and sit with us?" The handsome boy offered.
"Um… sure… where do you sit?"
"Over there," he indicated an area clustered with girls with his finger.
"Where all those girls are?" The auburn haired girl raised a questioning eyebrow at her childhood friend.
"Hey, NOT my idea. They just kind of come wherever we go…"
Sora laughed in a carefree manner, throwing her head back, flipping her auburn strands. "Taichi Kamiya! Since when have you become such a flirt?" She joked. "I mean obviously, you've done something to make them all go crazy like that."
Tai gave her a look that made Sora laugh harder. Snaking his arm around her frame, he replied softly, "Ever since you went away, babe. I was so lonely."
Her ruby eyes shot wider before Sora released her laughter, "You're such a dork."
The boy just grinned handsomely. "Anyways, really, it's not all me. Yamato is attracting most of them anyways."
"Yamato?"
"Oh yeah, you might not know him. He's the lead singer for the band, The Teenage Wolves. He's also known to be extremely freakishly good looking, perfect, and very popular, so naturally, 98% of the female population of this school are madly in love with him." Tai explained.
"But I thought you said that part of them are after you."
Tai grinned, "I never said they were swooning over only Yamato."
The redhead just laughed harder.
Tai grinned, "So Sora, you coming or what?"
The girl nodded, her auburn strands shining with every move of her head. "Just lead the way."
