Chapter 22
He just glares at the clock as he wakes up. He then glances around the room. His mother and him have just finish unpacking last night and he has school to day. He reluctantly moves out of his bed and gets ready for school.
He soon walks out of his room with more energy then when he first woke up. He glances at the clock and finds that he has enough time to eat and maybe phone his 'twin' brother. He still enjoys spending time with Jager and with Revmon. He also found it fun to poke fun at Jager's fan club, even after all this time Jager's fan club is still going strong and it seems to be growing too.
He soon finishes making breakfast and eating it. He then picks up his D-Terminal and send Jager an E-mail. He keeps it short and then sends it. He knows that Jager is in university and is considered to be eighteen years old, though Gennai still hasn't figured out how to make Jager age, so his 'twin' still looks to be fourteen.
He soon leaves the apartment and heads to the elevator. He waits for the elevator to reach his level. Right now, he's wearing a gold T-shirt with white pants with white runners. His also has the fisherman's hat that Kari gave him two years ago. His backpack is brown in colour and doesn't really go with what he's wearing. He wanted to make a good impression on his first day and a really wanted to surprise Kari.
He also wonders just how Kari will react to seeing him at school. He smiles at the thought of the brunette. Kari and him had grown close over the years and they have been flirting with each other since a month after the picnic at the park, when Ken was introduced to the group.
The elevator opens and he smiles as he enters the elevator. "Hi, I'm TK Takashi." He tells the two. "You're new right?" The girl asks. He nods and she then adds, "I'm Yolei Inoue and this is Cody Hida. It's nice to meet you TK." Then Yolei blushes a bit. He nods and pretends not to notice that Yolei is blushing.
'So, these two are the ones bro was talking about, huh? I guess then I might get to met Davis then.' He thinks as he then makes little conversation with the two. He did notice that Yolei seems interested in him, he didn't want her to get too hit when he begins to flirt with Kari and as they leave the building, he says, "You know my best friend goings to Odaiba Elementary. You might know her, her name is Kari Yagami."
Yolei thinks about it and says, "Isn't she on the track team?" Cody nods in agreement. "We've been friends since we were eight. We also have been kind of on and off too." He explains and sees that Yolei understands what his talking about. "Thanks for telling me." Yolei says with a bit of disappointment in her voice.
He smiles gently at this. Between Mimi and Sora, he has long since let them decide what looks good on him; they also did it for Matt too. Jager's sense of fashion was more based on his moods then on advertising, not that Mimi and Sora have given up on Jager, it's just that Jager seems to know how to out wit them most of the time.
'Plus other then maybe white, blue, or green what other colour looks good on him? Ask any girl too and they'll say his perfect the way he is. I can't help but remember that time at the pool…' He thinks as they near the school. He grins at the memory of when he first learnt that he might one day find girls interesting. Jager never lied to him about that or most things in life. He knows that to most members of the Digidestine, he's still considered him their adopted little brother and they sometimes miss the fact that he's growing up. Sadly, Kari doesn't have this problem, but then again, it might have something to do with Jager.
He catches a soccer ball out of habit and hands it to a goggle wearing kid. He blinks but then thinks it's his imagination, for the kid reminds him of Tai. "Here you go." He says and the kid says, "Thanks." Then one of the members of the game calls out to the kid to rejoin the game.
He soon turns away and can already see girls looking his direction and giggling. He turns and asks Yolei, "You know where Kari could be found?" Yolei thinks about it and then nods. "Just leave everything up to me!" Yolei tells him in a cheerful voice. "Thank you." He tells the girl and follows Yolei and Cody.
Soon they lead him to the gym and he thanks them and enters. He soon finds Kari. He moves more into the gym and then leans against a wall. He smiles as he watches Kari look focused and was getting ready for them to say go. Soon runners take off and begin to do lines. He watches as Kari bends down to touch the line and then races back to the starting line. He doesn't move from his spot and sighs. Soon Kari will have to give up her spot on the track team, for adolescences is going to transform his best friend into a young woman. He knows that Kari was already beginning that journey and he will be soon.
Soon Kari finishes and then one of the boys point to him. Kari turns and looks stunned at seeing him here. He smiles and nods his head at her. Then he waits as Kari walks over, he could see the light blush on her face. "You could have warned me that you were moving here!" Kari says. He then answers sweetly, "But then you wouldn't be surprised." Then he says, "I also meet Yolei and Cody." Kari's eyes flash in understanding and nods. "Yea, I've been watching them and Davis for the pass two years. Well, other then Davis, I haven't interacted with Yolei and Cody." Kari informs him. He nods and says, "I'll make friends with them, and they did help me find you already." Kari smiles and then says, "Don't you need to visit with the principle?" He smiles sheepishly and says, "I'll be leaving then. See you later then."
Kari and him then they part, he then heads for the doors leading to the hallway. He enters the hallway and asks for directions to the office. He soon enters the main office.
(---------------------------------------Kari------------------------------------------)
She sits at her desk wondering which classes TK will be in. She remembers the way he was dressed and knew that a few girls will be falling for her best friend. 'Sora and Mimi do have a lot of practice with dressing up Matt, I'm lucky that Tai usually scowls at them when ever they start talking about doing a make over with me. I wouldn't mind if Jager gave me hints about avoiding it, I know that Tai can't protect me forever!' She thinks as she waits for class to start.
"Hey Kari!" She turns to look at Davis. "Davis." She says. Davis grins and says, "I meet the new student today! He looks to be a pretty boy, I bet that he's as dumb as a brick!" She tries to keep from smiling, knowing full well that TK wasn't dumb, for he even helps her with her own homework. But Davis was right about TK being a pretty boy, but most of the group saw that coming from a mile away. Considering how most girls are around Jager and then with Matt, it's understandable.
TK does know on some level the effect he has on the opposite gender, but it also at the same time he doesn't think that he's in the same league as Jager or Matt. Sadly enough, he has a good start and in a few years, he'll either match Matt's or be up there with Jager. But she plans on being official with TK before they were fourteen; she just needs to get Jager to talk with Tai about her dating TK. She knows that Jager would help her with this project.
The door opens and in walks TK. "That's the guy! Told you he's a pretty boy!" Davis whispers to her. She nods absently as she meets TK's eyes. "We have a new student, his name is Takeru Takashi. Introduce yourself." The teacher says. "You can call me TK and it's nice to be here." TK says to the class. "You can sit by Miss Yagami." The teacher says and without being told who Miss Yagami is, TK walks straight for her.
She smiles as TK sits next to her. She could tell that many girls and Davis were stunned that TK knew her. Soon the class begins and they soon begin to take notes.
(-------------------------------------Jager-------------------------------------------)
He finds a spot to hook up to the Internet and soon finds a spot. He has another class in an hour and half, giving him enough time to eat and to finish going through his programs. He clicks on his E-mails before he does anything else.
He finds five new messages and he clicks on the one from TK first. Both Matt and him knew that TK has moved here and that they also been here for five days already. He smiles as he reads it and replies to it.
The next message was from Ken. It was about needing help with some math problems and he replies to Ken that he'd be happy to help. He smiles sadly as he thinks back to the funeral that Sam had. Four months after the picnic, Ken's brother died. It hit Ken hard, but everyone was there for Ken, especially TK and Kari.
The next message was from Joe and he nods absently as he agrees with the content of the E-mail. He soon sends Joe a reply about where he is and how long he had before his next class. He waits for a reply and Joe sends that he's on his way.
He nods and clicks on the next message. It's from Izzy, it seems that Izzy wants to watch a documentary at his place. He sends a reply that it's ok and then he sends a message to Revmon about it.
The final E-mail comes from Gennai and it's about three odd Digimon that have appeared. He nods as he agrees with what Gennai plans on doing and he then sends a reply to Gennai with a few minor changes to his plan. He then closes his E-mail box and pause to eat part of his sub.
He turns as he hears Joe appears. He holds up a hand and Joe walks over. "Thanks for the help." Joe tells him. He swallows the bite and places the sub back on the wrapper. "It's not a problem, Joe." He tells the taller Digidestine.
Joe's fifteen years old, but is taller then him. Joe has his old car and alearners licence too. He actually gave the car to Joe as a Birthday present, for everyone in the group had decided that he needed a new car. He still didn't know just why they thought that, for the vehicle is still in good condition. But he had been out voted, that includes Ken and his two brothers agreeing with the others. He now has the latest model with CD player, high quality stereo, and its colour is blue. He figures that the colour was Tai's idea, though. For Tai still like the colour blue.
They soon go over the problem that Joe has a hard time with and he uses his laptop to help with the problem too. It doesn't take long, only thirty minutes, and soon Joe is on his way back to his school. He then finishes off his sub before checking his programs for class.
