Snickers and Twix: The Senior Year
Chapter 2 "Forgive me not?"
Leaning back on the couch, a groggy groan escaped Sora's lips. Never has she felt so terrible in her entire life. First being late for class on the first day of school. Honestly, how could someone be late on the first day of school? Then, having to hold a bucket on her head for the whole class period and water spilling all over herself, which was much of an embarrassment than it was anything else. Especially when you're a senior. Then, third of all and worse of all… yelling at Taichi.
How mean could a girl possible get? Yelling at her best friend in a very rude and childish way. It wasn't junior high anymore, and Tai surely took more of the adult approach of things than herself. Which even made her feel worse. She's suppose to be the mature one, she's the one that's suppose to stay cool and collective. But not this time. This time, she got to be the childish one. The one that had to stomp around. Over what? Because Tai laughed at her? What excuse is that?
She shook her head trying to release all the stress that has happened to her in one day and leaned her head back on the back of the couch. She had some studying to do, but that can wait. It wasn't that important after all, just a refreshment course from last year. So it'll be simple, right?
Running her long slender finger tips through her auburn hair a knock from the door filled the empty living room.
Sighing she gotten to her feet and strolled over nonchalant.
Opening the door she gave a wiry smile, "Oh, hi Mimi." She softly said, allowing her friend to enter to clean leaving room.
Mimi looked around, clutching her white backpack and then walked in, "So think you can come?" Mimi asked, eyes lighted up.
A strange girl no doubt about it. But Mimi had something in her that everyone liked. Not matter how annoying she could actually get, she was friendly and always there for someone. Which made Mimi, no doubt, Mimi. And people liked that about her. She's not afraid to show the true form of herself, whether it's her hair color or make up or even to the way she dresses. She set a new style everyday. Sora idolized her for doing that. It's not something Sora could actually do matter-of-fact.
Sora sighed and walked back to the couch she so happened to be sitting at and sighed, "I don't know Mimi. I haven't asked mom yet and you know how she gets about the flower shop-"
"Come on Sora. It's just this one time. It's just You, me, Matt, and Tai."
Tai. She sighed at the thought of his name. No, not because she's in love with him; because of the way she treated him earlier today. He probably hated her, or even better, never wanted to see her face on this plant again. But that wasn't like Tai though. He was more than willing to work things out. Though, deep down, she still felt a bit mad at him, and which in all cases, is completely wrong of her to feel that way.
"I don't know." Sora scrunched up her nose, while her crimson eyes glanced towards her friends direction. "I think I might feel kinda' awkward around Tai."
Mimi laid her backpack down and sighed, "Sora, it was a stupid thing you did and your completely regretting it obviously. Why don't you just make mends and become the goofy two love-birds you two happen to be?"
Make mends? Be the two goofy love-birds they so happen to be? What's that all suppose to mean?
Sora laughed, "Make mends huh? I don't think that's so easily and Mimi, Tai and myself are only friends. I couldn't think of him more than that. Plus, I've dated on digi-destined, I can't date another one!"
Mimi arched an eyebrow in returned gesture, "Are you sure about that? Considering it's not written in the digi-destined book of not allowing to date your best friend or a former digi-destined. Plus, we're retired now. So you can do whatever you'd like."
Though the idea sounds good at the time, but how could she ever possibly see Tai more than a friend? Sure he's got cute ways to himself and very sensible and caring at times, but her? With Tai? No, impossible, right?
"Come on Mimi."
"No I'm being dead serious Sora, you and Tai have some type of chemical bondage going on."
Sora laughed as she tilted her head back, "You have to be kidding me? Where do you come up with this stuff?"
Mimi smirked at her own comment, "Well, I was thinking about it in Chemistry class, considering the teacher is a complete boredom-aholic."
"Boredom-aholic huh? I didn't know that was such a word." Sora pointed out as she reached over on the table next to the couches arm and grabbed her notebook and pencil, beginning to write down some notes of some kind.
Mimi leaned back in a comfortable confinement. In one of the beanie-bags that Sora had lying out on the floor. "Well, it's a new word. Here shortly those who write the dictionary will be saying boredom-aholic whoever thought of that word is a complete genius." Mimi laughed at her own statement.
Sora couldn't help but to snicker. Her friends, they're one of a kind no doubt about that. They always uplifted her spirit whenever she's feeling down and is able to laugh with and at them, and not to forget to mention at herself also. Sure, she's done some completely idiotic things growing up, but when it comes down to her friends… they always knew a way of making her laugh.
"You're a nut you know that?" Sora said shaking her head.
"Then you're an almond." Mimi raised her brown eyes at her friend. Starring deeply into those Crimson eyes. It was if she was trying to read Sora's soul. Though, that's completely impossible. You'd have to be supernatural to do something like that, right?
"Sora, what's wrong?" Mimi asked, her now smile turning into a frown as she watches closely.
Sora now frowned. Her head tilted down as she could feel the warm tears burst in her eyes. Oh, how much she hated the dreadfulness of being an emotional girl.
"I don't know Mimi, I feel so terrible for what I did to Tai. How could he ever forgive me?" She asked with a slight sniffle.
Mimi, more floored than you could imagine gotten to her feet and sat next to her friend. Wrapping her long arms around the small girls body she hushed her softly, "Don't worry Sora, Tai's a forgiving guy. Remember what you told me? Tai can always forgive but he can't ever forget? So what makes you think that he won't forgive you?"
Sora sniffled, "Why wouldn't he not want to forget me is the real question Mimi. I'm such a terrible friend to him. I didn't mean-"
"He knows that Sora."
"Mimi, you should have seen it." Sora backed away and looked into her friends now crystal brown eyes. "He looked so upset. He was hurt. I know he's still hurting." She stammered, her body trembling as she could only possibly think of how Tai could feel.
Meanwhile at the High school…
"Tai, come on! What's wrong with you?" One of the soccer players out in the field yelled, as the frustration of his teammates began to show.
Tai sighed, shaking his head as he couldn't help but think about earlier that day. I'm such an idiot. he thought to himself with a groggy groan while the ball slipped past him as they practiced.
"Time out." The coach called walking up to Tai and placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Son, go to the showers."
"Huh?" Tai's chocolate brown eyes quickly glanced up as a blank expression filled his face. He wasn't paying any attention for the half part of things and the other part he was well, completely locking himself out of things.
"Take a shower. Go home. Do whatever you gotta do. I'll excuse you on this one account. Only because your one of my best players. And something is bothering you." The coach said softly while his grasp on Tai's shoulder tightened.
Tai nodded in complete agreement. He was completely unfocused. Not himself at all. It wasn't like Tai, especially to zone out during a soccer game or even at practice at that matter.
A bit of frustration flowed through his blood while also embarrassment due to the idea the coach told him to basically leave and come back on the next day. He knew he wasn't himself, and it was over something completely, most utterly, ignorant?
No. Not ignorant. Maybe selfish?
No. Not that either.
So then what?
A sigh escaped his mouth. It was from the idea his feelings still for Sora was flustering through his veins. He liked her. And no, not this little, I like you type. It was, more. More than 'I like you as a friend'. He actually wanted her more than that way. But considering from the outlook of today… the feelings, well… obviously… they weren't the same.
How in the hell can I be so stupid? Tai thought entering the locker room and grabbing his gear. How can I actually just say something like that? Especially to her. Was I being to harsh? He slammed his locker and pressed his forehead against it. Damn it, I hate myself.
He moved swiftly away, swinging his backpack across his shoulders as he turned around, to see a pair of crystal blue eyes starring at him. He gave a weak grin and shifted his head up in a friendly gesture, "Hey." He was able to muffle out.
"Hey." The other boy nodded the same gesture and proceeded to come forward towards Tai.
What for though?
Tai just arched an eyebrow as a blow to the cheek was thrown at him. His face snapped quickly to the other side and his hand quickly found itself in contact with the now redden area on his face.
"Thanks Matt, I kind of needed that." Tai said, looking back at his friend who now shook his hand from the pain that throbs in the knuckles.
Matt Smirked as he began to rub his hand against his now red knuckles, "Hey any time. I saw how you was playing. Did by any chance something happened today?" Matt asked, swiftly. His eyes arched up as his golden blonde hair softly swayed as air entered the locker room.
A good looking boy he happened to be. With wavy blonde hair and stunning blue eyes, it's a wonder why women doesn't follow him around. Actually, who say's they don't?
Tai ran his fingers through his ruffled hair, "I don't know." He brushed off his soccer shorts and sighed.
"Care to talk about it?" Matt asked with a shrug. Being the friend he is, he himself never actually talked about his own problems. So what really makes him so stunning about Tai's?
Tai forced a grin, "Nah, I'm cool."
Matt gave another shrug while shoving his hands deep within his pockets, "Whatever."
The man, never and that means never went without saying the word whatever to something. It was a common word in Matt's dictionary. Sure, he says other things, but when it comes to feelings or even personal emotions from himself… you might as well get used to hearing that word. It's very common, nonetheless.
"Wanna grab something to eat?" Matt asked, trying to make things much better.
Tai smiled, "Sure, what could it hurt?"
TBC…
