~^~Chapter 2- Tai's Pep Talk~^~
**I've been driving for an hour,
just talking to the rain
They say I've been driven crazy,
and it's keeping you away.
So just give me one good reason.
Tell me why I should stay,
'Cause I don't want to waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say.**
Sora walked into her penthouse later that day around 2pm after her classes had ended. She couldn't stop thinking about that cute, mysterious boy she'd met earlier in Chemistry class. He was on her mind and she couldn't seem to concentrate on anything else. Not to mention she could have sworn she'd seen him somewhere before. 'He's just a boy. But why do I keep thinking about him?'
When Sora walked inside her gaze fell to the couch where Tai lay fast asleep. He had his arms wrapped around a pillow and his legs were hanging off the arm of the couch. His mouth hung wide open allowing drool to escape his lips. 'Only my best friend would sleep like that...' Sora giggled to herself and then glanced at the answering machine. A red "2" was flashing which indicated she'd received two messages. She walked over and pushed the button to listen to them and then walked into the kitchen to find something to munch on.
The first message was from Mimi and it caused Sora to roll her eyes. The second message came from Kari (17), someone the two room mates hadn't seen in quite a while.
"Hey Tai, hey Sora! It's Kari! I was just calling to say that I'm in town and I'm staying with mom and dad. I want to see you guys so please, please, please call me as soon as you get this message! Bye!" Kari's message spoke.
You see, Kari was offered a full 4-year scholarship in photography. The only problem was that the school was a private academy in America. After much debate, she decided to go, leaving all of her friends and family behind. She only came back on holidays and it was a special occasion when she did.
Sora put down her food and walked over to the couch. She grabbed a pillow and smacked Tai with it as hard as she could. Tai snapped awake and sat up quick.
"The good China's in the pantry! Take anything you want just don't hurt me, please!" Tai shouted shielding himself with the pillow he was holding.
**And I take it just a little bit.
I hold my breath and count to ten.
I been waiting for a chance to let you in.**
"Well it's nice to know that if someone were to break in they'd know exactly where everything valuable is!" Sora said, still laughing at Tai's expression.
"Oh, good. It's just you," Tai said calming down and letting out a big yawn.
"You sleep like a rock, you know that?"
"*Yawn* Yeah..."
"Have you even left the house today?"
"Nope. I've been catching up on lost sleep. I'm about a week behind. Damn college."
"More like damn parties. You're out almost every night. Don't blame the school."
"Yeah yeah. What do you want anyways? It must be important if you woke me up to tell me."
"You sister called while you were snoozing in Tai Land. She's in town and wants to see us. She's staying with your parents."
"She is? She does?"
"Yep. And if you didn't sleep through everything you would know that."
"Oh shut up. So how was Chemistry and whatever else you had today?"
Sora blushed and smiled, "It was good."
"Uh oh..."
"What?"
"Sora likes someone!"
"What!? No I don't!"
"Sora I've known you my whole life. In that 20 years I've learned how you act when you find someone you like. Now tell me who it is!"
**If I just breathe
let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright.
breath
every little piece of me you'll see
everything is alright.
If I just breathe**
"There's no one, really!"
"He's gay, isn't he? He's gay and you were rejected! Am I right!?"
"No! He's not gay!"
"So there is someone!"
"God! I hate when you do that!"
"I know. I'm just good like that. Now tell me, who is it? Do I know him?"
"You sound like my dad. And I highly doubt you know him. I'd never seen him before until today. I guess he's new or whatever. But oh my gosh he's so cute!"
"Yeah, you like him. I knew it."
"Tai, I don't even know him. How can I like someone I don't know?"
"Hey I do it all the time!"
"Yeah, but you're a guy it's different."
"Yeah, okay. So why don't you ask him out?"
"I'm not going to ask him out!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's weird."
"Why is it weird?"
"Because... I don't know! It just it. Girls aren't supposed to ask guys out. It's you guys' job, not ours."
"I love it when a girl asks me out. It shows that they have confidence and are willing to fight for what they want."
"Uh huh... and does this happen before or after you sleep with them?"
**So I whisper in the dark
hoping you'll hear me.
do you hear me?**
"HEY!"
"Kidding!"
"But seriously, tomorrow's Friday. Ask him to go to the movies with you or something."
"Fine... I will."
"Good girl. Oh, and you need to call Mimi. She came by earlier looking for you. There's a note on the counter. I didn't read it, I swear."
"Like I'd care if you read it or not. It's Mimi, she can't keep anything secret."
"True, true."
Sora walked to the kitchen counter and picked up the note Mimi had left for her. It was neatly folded and smelled like perfume. Mimi was... weird sometimes.
**Sora,
Do you ever answer your phone? OBVIOUSLY NOT! You're never home either! Why aren't you ever around when I need you? Anyways, call me as soon as you read this! I WILL COME OVER IF YOU IGNORE ME! Bye!
**Xo- Mimi -Xo
"Maybe I'm never here because I actually have a life!" Sora said after she finished reading the note.
"What is Meems complaining about this time?" Tai wondered, now slouched on the couch and looking like he was about to fall asleep again.
"I don't know. Something about a party and how I'm never around when she needs me. I don't know she complains about a lot of things."
"That's Mimi for you."
"Yep. Well Tai, I'm going to go take a long, relaxing bath. If Mimi calls then bring me the phone."
"Have fun."
Sora walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. 'What a day. I can't wait to see how tomorrow's going to turn out. I hope Matt says yes...'
**If I just breathe
let it fill in the space between
I'll know everything is alright.
Breathe
every little piece of me
You'll see
everything is alright.
oh yeah, yeah...
Everything is alright.
If I just breathe...
I've been driving for an hour,
just talking to the rain**
