The Choice

Chap. 1 Life in High School

Many years have passed since the tamer's digimon had left, and now they were in high school. Takato and Jeri were now boyfriend and girlfriend. Both Henry and Ryo had a crush on Rika, and she had no idea…..

The bell rang and Kazu, Kenta, and Takato went to their lockers.

"Man, we have a ton of homework due for math!" Kenta exclaimed.

"Yeah, that Mr. Koija is one tough teacher," Takato sighed.

"I've hated high school ever since I was a freshman," Kazu complained, "and I don't think that's ever going to change."

"But we only have to go through two more months," reminded Takato.

"Yeah!" Kenta was excited, "Being a senior is great!"

Jeri came around the corner, "Hey, guys!"

Kenta and Kazu waved.

"…Hi, Takato."

Their lips connected in a passionate kiss, and soon they were making out. Kazu and Kenta felt awkward and left to go to their next class. Rika and Henry walked down the hall and soon saw Takato and Jeri.

"C'mon, guys, get a room!" said Henry.

"Yeah, save it for after school!" Rika agreed.

They finally stopped.

"Hey, you guys don't know what it's like to be in love," Takato commented.

"Whatever…" Rika stuffed books in her locker.

"Hey, Rika?" a voice asked behind her.

The voice was familiar to her, "What, Ryo?"

"What's due for English tomorrow?"

"Why are you wondering?"

"I wasn't there yesterday, remember?"

"Oh, right. Um…I think we have a worksheet; you should ask Mrs. Ezori if you can get one. We have a test, too."

"Hey, thanks," Ryo wrote it in his assignment book, "……Hey, if you're not busy tomorrow, do you want to hang out, or something?"

"Sure, what should we do?"

"Hmm…we could go out to eat or possibly see a movie, if you want."

"Ok. Right after school sounds good," she didn't mind doing stuff like that because he was her best friend…not her boyfriend.

"Sure. Fine with me, too," Ryo was excited she had said yes, This could be my chance to tell her how I feel…..

As Rika conversed with the others, Henry stared at her, thinking to himself, I can't do it…he frowned, I can't tell Rika how I really feel.....But, I just have to…

Henry slowly walked up to her, "…Rika?"

She turned around, "Yeah, Henry?"

"I…" he couldn't say it, "I was wondering…Do you want to come over to my house after school today to study for that test we have in Biology?"

"Sure. I really need to! That test's going to be hard."

"Okay, see you later," Maybe I can tell her then…..
