Complications
Odaiba high- Friday...
Matt and Sora sat together under their usual tree
"Ready for tonight Sora?" he smiled
"I can't wait." she blushed
'I love it when she blushes.' he leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her lips
"What! When did this happen?" Izzy exclaimed at the sight of his best friends kissing
"Well, uh..." Sora grew completely red
"If you must know Izzy, it happened yesterday, and tonight,we will be going on our first date." Matt wrapped his arm around Sora's waist
"Does Tai know about this?" Izzy asked
"Well, sort of.." Sora frowned
"What do you mean sort of?" Matt looked down at her
"I told him about our date yesterday and he...freaked out." she mumbled touching the sore spots on her arms where Tai had gripped her
"Did he say anything, maybe something as to why he didn't like the idea about us dating?" Matt lifted her face
"You guys are best friends; maybe he just doesn't want you to get hurt." Izzy leaned against the tree
"It's more than that..." Sora whispered to herself but Matt heard
"What do you mean more than that? Did something happen between you two?" he inquired
"Uh, well...it's complicated...he told me he loves me.." she frowned
"Ah, now it makes sense." Izzy spoke
Tai was too angry at Sora to join them for lunch but he had been watching them from afar
'You can't take my girl away that easily, Matt.' he mentally noted
"Don't worry about a thing Sora. It'll all be ok." Matt caressed her cheek
The bell rang telling the kids to go back to class
'Just my luck, Tai's in my next class.' Sora grumbled
In class...
The teacher had assigned a project where everyone worked in pairs. Sora was stuck with Tai
"I saw you and Matt today." he said in a low tone
"Tai, please understand, I like Matt." she pleaded
"What about us?" he shot back
"We're just friends!" she exclaimed
"Friends don't do the things we did Sora." his voice was eerily low and calm
"We were just helping each other out..." she was cut off
"So now you don't need me anymore?" he shouted
"Do you think you can just use me and throw me away whenever you want?" he hissed
"Tai, please don't, not right here." she whispered
Tai ignored her for the rest of the class and stormed off when it was time to leave
'What am I going to do?' Sora frowned but soon lightened up, remembering her date with Matt
Sora's apartment, 7 pm...
Sora had spent the afternoon picking the perfect outfit for her date (I'm not good with clothes so you guys just picture what ever you want!). She now waited anxiously for Matt to arrive. The doorbell rang and Sora jumped out of her seat and opened the door with excitement
"Tai?" she was completely confused
"Hey Sora." he gave her a sheepish smile
"You look beautiful." he gazed at her
"Thanks.." she blushed
"Please don't go." he took her hand
"Tai..." she sighed as Tai kissed her
"No Tai! We can't do that anymore!" she pulled away
"But I want you!" he grabbed her by the shoulders
"Matt and I like each other, I'm sorry, but that's the way it is." she told him
Tai simply let her go and walked away with tears in his eyes. Sora sighed in relief and spotted Matt
"Hi." she blushed
"You look amazing, shall we go?" he took her hand
"Where are we going?" she asked
"We will be sharing a romantic dinner together and then we will star gaze in the park." he grinned
"Perfect." she said
The two walked off to their destination and Tai followed behind
Back at Sora's place, 10 pm...
Matt and Sora stood at her doorway as Tai watched from the shadows
"Thanks for the lovely evening." she leaned up and gave him a peck on the cheek
"Aw, I only get a kiss on the cheek? Can I get more?" he pleaded with puppy eyes
"Ok.." she giggled and kissed him
The two shared a passionate kiss that filled Tai with rage
"I'll see you at school." he whispered and left
Sora went inside in bliss. Tai came out of the shadows and walked home
Monday at school...
Sora hadn't notice that the bell had rung and everyone had already headed to class. She stood alone in the hallway fumbling with her books, trying to shove them into her locker
"Need help?" came a voice from behind
"Tai." Sora didn't have to look to know who it was
"So..." he casually leaned against the locker beside her
"Are you and Matt getting serious?" he looked at her
"As a matter of fact we are, he wants to go out again." she was nervous
"Is that so..." he smirked
"Does he know about...us?" he pointed his finger at her and himself
"There is no us Tai. We're just friends." she grew angry
"It sure doesn't look like we're just friends." he pressed his body against hers
"I don't think Matt would like to know what his little girlfriend has been doing with her friend." he whispered in her ear
"You wouldn't dare tell him!" she hissed
"Try me." he chuckled and forced her into a kiss
Sora roughly pulled away and ran to class. Tai stood there for about a minute, watching her,and then headed back to class. Sora kept Matt beside her at all times for the rest of the day and stayed clear of Tai.
'Why does this have to be so complicated!' she whined to herself and fell asleep
