A/N; Here's the second chapter… thanks to all of those who reviewed. Yes, I know the first chapter is boring. But oh well… here's my second chapter. I do have chapters for this story written up to chapter 10 but I need some editing and more ideas. And at chapter 10, I'm at writer's block… Oh well. Hope you like it. I had to put more ideas and get it edited by my idol =)


Chapter 2

[Normal Point of view]

The school bell rang as everyone was already heading out the door after a day of torture. Mimi just remembered that she had cheerleading practice today.

"URRRR sighs Cheerleading so tiring!" Mimi complained to Matt Ishida, her best friend. Since she was head of the cheerleaders, that means she has to do extra work.

"Whatever… do you need a drive after school?" Matt asked, tired of her complaints.

"Its OK I have my own drive." Mimi replied.

"Let me guess… Kevin?" Matt stated rolling his eyes. Matt had always hated Kevin. He knew that Kevin was a player but didn't want to tell Mimi. She would just think he was jealous.

[FLASHBACK]

"MATTT meet my new boyfriend, Kevin. Kevin, meet my bestest friend Matt!" Mimi introduced them. Matt glared at Kevin while he did the same. Matt held out his hand.

"Nice to meet you," Matt said politely. Kevin just stood there looking at his reached out hand.

"Yeah, yeah…nice to meet ya too buddy," Kevin said not replying to the hand shake. Matt just stood there and looked at Mimi who looked at him.

"Mimi, could I talk to you for a moment?" Matt asked.

"Umm sure… Matt," Mimi asked, curious on what was going on.

When Mimi and Matt were far enough so that Kevin couldn't hear, Matt looked at Mimi like she was crazy.

"W-What?" Mimi asked when she saw that on Matt's face.

"What do you mean 'what' that guy is not for you," Matt said.

"Matt… he's sweet… he asked me to go out with him," Mimi argued.

"No, Mimi. I know Kevin. He's disrespectful, mean and he's the kind of guy that would cheat on you," Matt replied. Matt was always like a brother to Mimi. He would always know what's right or wrong for Mimi. Basically, Matt's overprotective over Mimi.

"Matt! You don't know him! He's not what you think! Can you just give him a chance?" Mimi tried to defend.

"Alright, alright but don't say I didn't warn you. He's not what you think," Matt said raising his hands. Mimi sighed.

[END OF FLASHBACK]

"Sighs Yea… he said he would give me a ride." Mimi replied as they headed to the field.

"Mimi, seriously…. When are you going to leave him? I mean you know what he does. He's not the kind for you… actually he's not the kind for any girl. He's rude and violent. He beats you up every time you would do something wrong. I mean look at the bruises he gave you for simply talking to another guy alone." Matt said in a serious tone.

[FLASHBACK]

[Mimi's POV]

I was going to talk to Koushiro about our Science project since we were assigned partners. I walked to the park and saw Koushiro, as usual, busy on his laptop. I went to sit beside him and looked to see what he was doing.

"Hey! So what are we going to do for our project?" I asked.

"Well, I was wondering if we could our project on Volcanoes or Earthquakes," Koushiro said, not taking off his eyes on his laptop.

"Hmm… well I think Earthquakes are better," I replied. Koushiro finally took his eyes off his laptop and turned to look at me.

"I also prefer that topic. Well, Earthquakes it is!" Koushiro said with a laugh. I also laughed. How typical of him.

"Mimi! What are you doing?" a voice suddenly cut our fun. I turned to see the source of the voice, Kevin.

"What are you talking about? I'm talking to Koushiro," I replied with a confused look on my face. Kevin glanced at me then turned his attention to Koushiro. He glared at Koushiro, who had a scared and worried look on his face.

"What are you staring at you nerdy punk!" Kevin tried to scare him off. Koushiro looked at me and whispered a 'Bye' and took off with his laptop under his arms. I turned to look at Kevin, angrily.

"What was that all about? Koushiro and I were only talking about our Science project! Why the frick did you scare him off like that for!?" I angrily said to him. I felt myself burning, "And he's not a nerdy punk! He's smart and intelligent, unlike you! Oh… and we're OVER!" I added. Kevin just stood there, dumbfounded. As I was about to walk off, he grabbed me by my arm.

"Let go of me! You're hurting me!" I cried trying to let go of his grip. Kevin pulled me even harder.

"Now, don't talk to me like that honey. You don't want anyone to get hurt right?" Kevin said holding me by my waist. I tried to free myself but couldn't. He was too strong. Then I finally tried to kick him as hard as I can in the shins. He let go of me while I tried to run away. He ran after me and caught up to me. He again grabbed me even harder.

"Don't ever try to kick me you bitch!" Kevin said as he slapped me hard across the face. I cried uncontrollably. There was no hope of getting free. He was too strong and there was no one around.

"Now listen. Number one… don't try to hurt me because it'll come back 10 times worse to you. Number two… don't try to leave me. Number three… don't tell this to anyone or else I would hurt you. You get it? Now why don't we start all over again? Oh! Don't cheat on me! I saw how you guys looked at each other. The only guy you will be talking to is me. You got that… honey?" Kevin explained to me while I was still sniffling. I was in pain. I just sat there with his hand gripping to me arm.

"I said… YOU GOT THAT?!" Kevin repeated to me yanking me arm hard. I nodded weakly.

"Good… now remember… you're still me girlfriend," Kevin reminded me as he walked off leaving me there to cry in pain. It was no use. There was no one there to come and comfort me. No one was out there. After what felt like an hour… I finally got up to my feet and headed home. Luckily it was only a few blocks away.

[END OF FLASHBACK]

[Back to normal POV]

Mimi sighed as she flashbacked to what happen before. It was the first time he was violent to her. Now the only guy she can talk to is Matt.

"I know, but if I leave him, he'll beat me up more! Or even kill me!" Mimi said.

"Whatever… just whatever you do… be careful." Matt said as he was leaving.

Mimi went for cheerleading practice. It went pretty well, cheering for the guys in the football team. After a day of cheerleading, Mimi felt like she was going to collapse. Her legs were weak and wobbly. She could barely stand straight up. Then Kevin came up to her.

"Uh… Mimi I can't drive you home today… I um have some plans right now," Kevin said before taking off to his car and left a confused Mimi behind. Mimi sighed. She looked at the time [6:00pm]

"Oh no I forgot I was going to help mom with something important!" Mimi said in a hurry, but then she remembered. "Great I have no ride!" Mimi mentally slapped herself. Running home will be too long and beside that, she was really tired and can barely walk. Mimi just starts walking not knowing what to do. She was carrying so many stuff that she couldn't see where she was going.

The she bumped into something/someone. All her stuff fell, including her. She looked in front of her and found a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring right at her. It was a guy near her age. He had wild, spiky brown hair. He had a soccer uniform on. Mimi guessed that he was in the soccer team.

"Oh! Gomen! I wasn't watching where I was going!" Mimi said apologizing as she was gathering all her belongings.

"It's not your fault! You couldn't see with all that stuff anyway." the boy said, helping her gather her stuff, "Mimi right?"

"Yeah… and you are…?" Mimi replied smiling.

"I'm Tai." Tai said extending his hand for a shake. Mimi replied the shake.

"How do you know me?" Mimi said raising one of her eyebrows.

"Well, you're the most popular, hottest girl I know." Tai said blushing.

Mimi blushed.

"Do you… need any help? You kinda seem in a hurry and you got all these stuff," Tai asked Mimi.

"Umm well someone ditched me when he was supposed to drive me…so I'm left with no ride." Mimi said to Tai.

"Oh, well you can get a drive from me if you want." Tai offered.

"Arigatou! I mean it's not a bother to you?" Mimi asked. Tai shook his head in response. "That'll be great! Thanks a billion!" Mimi said in a relief.

"Anything for a pretty girl," Tai said with the cutest smiles she ever seen.

[Tai's POV]

I was happy that Mimi accepted my drive to home. I mean I've seen her ignore of guys when they would ask her out. I mean I'm lucky- for now. The drive to Mimi's house was so far silent. I took a look at her and smiled. I was driving Mimi- the most beautiful girl I ever knew. The silence was deafening me so I decided to break it.

"So, what was a pretty girl like you walking around the school at a time so late?" Mimi turned to look at me.

"Well, my boyfriend ditched me after cheerleading practice so I had no ride." Mimi replied with a shrug.

'So she has a boyfriend' I said to myself. I sighed. Now I'll never have a chance with her.

"But then I bumped into you and you were really sweet to give me a ride, thanks," Mimi said smiling. I couldn't help but blush a bit. Mimi saw me blush and giggled- that sweet melodic giggle. It was like music to my ears.

It wasn't long before we were in front of Mimi's house so I stopped. We were silent and still for a couple minutes until Mimi spoke,

"Umm, well I better get home or else my mom will be wondering. Thanks for the drive, that was sweet of you," she said blushing.

"Hai, no problem" I said coolly. I opened the side door at Mimi's side and walked her to her front porch. I wanted to hang out with her more. I was thinking if I should ask her out. No! Baka! She has a boyfriend! Don't say anything! Part of my mind said. No! Ask her out. For all you know she might like you and you might have a chance with her! The other side said. Tai shook his mind.

"Umm well since t-tomorrow's Saturday and I'm not doing anything, wanna g-go o-out for lunch?" I stuttered a bit making myself look like a complete idiot. No! Where did that come from?! "I-I mean just for lunch, you know… not as a da-"

"Sure!" Mimi said excitedly. I sworn my heart could've exploded. I couldn't believe my ears!

"Great! I'll pick you up at 12?" I asked happily.

"Sure! Great, I'll see you then!" Mimi said and went inside her house, waving.

[Normal POV]

Tai was so happy that he skipped back to his car and drove off whistling happily.

What the both of them didn't know was that there was a person watching them with hate behind the bushes…
