I finally have a new chapter. It feels like I haven't updated in forever when it's only been a week or two. Not like my other stories where I update maybe once a month. : o
I liked how in the last chapter Taichi was going to ask Takeru if Yamato was doing okay, but he never got around to it. It's just like in one of my other stories, The Love that Lies within. Taichi continues to say that he is going to get Yamato back in his band, but I don't think he ever does it. That's Taichi for you. He gets distracted easily.
Anyway, a new chapter! Yay!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon.
Taichi's point of view.
The first day of school means a lot of things. It means the start of another boring year of school. Clubs begin, sports start up, you get to see people you haven't seen all summer, there's new hair cuts, new styles, new everything and I hate it.
I wanted to take it easy this year because it's my last year, but they wouldn't let me. They made me take the required basics, math, science, English. I have a few choice classes, but they're only gym and some computer class.
I think I might have fallen asleep during morning classes. I don't remember a thing. Lunch was probably my favorite class so far. I don't think it's really considered a class, but I call it one.
I spin in my chair in computer class, waiting for Sora to arrive. Koushiro is already here and doing stuff on the computer. I don't trust myself not to break the thing so I'm not going to touch it until the teacher gives us directions. I have this odd feeling that my computer is going to be broken at the end of this class. I guess you're not supposed to hit them.
I really don't know why Koushiro is here. He's the president of the computer club. He knows everything there is to know about computers. He doesn't need to learn anymore about them. Maybe he's just here because he knows I'm going to break one of his precious children. Yep, the computers are his children and he's going to try to stop me from harming them.
"Are you in my gym class?" I ask.
"Why would I be in your gym class?" Koushiro asks, not taking his eyes off his computer screen.
That is a good question. Why would he be in my gym class? I don't think the kid exercises. Ever.
"I was just hoping that someone else I knew was going to be in my class. Sora is in it, but I think she's stalking me. She creeps me out," I say.
Koushiro looks over my shoulder at something. I hope it's not Sora he's looking at. Man that would suck.
"I can't believe I have to take physics. Talk about a pointless class. No offense or anything. That seems like a class you would like. It's both math and science at the same time. I hate it. I almost asked the teacher today why I cared which direction a cannon will go if I shot it. It's not like I'm going to be shooting cannons any time soon!" I say.
Seriously, unless I'm going to take over the world an old fashion way why would I need to know about that. Stupid science and math and the world.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?"
Yama?
I turn around and sure enough it's Yamato Ishida standing there. I'm so surprised that I somehow end up on the floor.
Why is he here? Did something happen to his dad? An accident? Jail? Drugs? Is Yamato living with his mom now? Damn, I should have asked Takeru about Yamato! I got so distacted though! Stupid Sora.
Oh yeah, I'm saving that spot for Sora. Stupid Sora, I want to sit next to Yamato. I guess I could scoot down one. Sora can sit next to Koushiro. I can sit next to her and Yamato!
Wait, maybe it's not such a good idea to sit next to Yamato. We really need to talk about some things and now wouldn't be a great time to talk. I don't know if I can be around him either. How can I get over someone when they're sitting right next to me?
"We're kind of saving it for someone," I say.
I look behind Yamato to find Sora standing there, waiting for Yamato to move.
"Excuse me," she says politely.
Yamato steps out of the way and Sora sits down next to me. Yamato then storms off to the other side of the room.
"Was that one of the new kids?" Sora asks.
"Yes," I say.
"You should have asked him to sit next to us," Sora says, "We could have welcomed him to the school and become friends with him. He would have liked that."
For some reason I don't really think Yamato would really like that. I think that he would rather not be bothered by Sora, but I know that once this class is over she's going to hunt him down and ask him what club he's going to join. She wants everyone to be involved.
Poor Yama.
Yamato's point of view.
I hate school. I don't see the point in it. The teachers teach me things I already know. They critisize me for my choice of accessories. Then they send me to the office for speaking my mind. It's like this every year.
It's the first day of school and I can already tell that this year is going to suck.
I must admit that my morning classes are very interesting. Well, I would probably say that, but I wasn't there. I can say that the Principal's office is pretty interesting though.
The first day of school and already I was sent to the office. I think it's a new record. I was sent there for some pencil incident. I needed a pencil, but only had a pen so I asked the boy next to me if I could borrow a pencil. He took it the wrong way. I will never understand how he got that to be a sexual innuendo.
Hopefully my next class will be good. I have some computer class. Web page design or something.
I walk into the classroom and the teacher tells me to sit where ever I want. I see big bushy brown hair in the back and decide to investigate. Sure enough it's my hyperactive friend from the summer. The best thing is he has a empty chair next to him.
He doesn't notice me walk up to him because he's too busy chatting to some red head guy. Hopefully this guy is just his friend or he's seriously getting his ass kicked. How dare he not notice me.
I clear my throat to try and get his attention, but he continues talking. The other boy looks up and stares at me. Taichi only talks on and on about physics class. I love physics. Everything about it. Taichi just doesn't understand. It's not the point of knowing which way the cannon will go. It's more than that. A lot more. He's just too idiotic and will never understand the brilliance of that class.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" I ask.
That gets the idiot's attention. He nearly falls off his chair in shock.
He looks up at me, his eyes wide, and says, "We're kind of saving that spot for someone."
I turn around to find that someone. A girl and from the look of it she is a sports fanatic like Taichi. She's pretty with short light brown hair and long legs, but she doesn't compare to my beauty.
"Excuse me," she says.
I move out of the way and she sits in the chair that I wanted to sit in. She sits in the chair next to Taichi. Maybe if her and Taichi switch I could still sit next to him. He's totally ignoring me though. Was I really that much of a jerk?
I glare at the girl, then at Taichi, before I move to the other side of the classroom where I find Mimi.
"I'm so glad you're here. I've had a bad day," I say before I plop down in a chair next to her.
"Really?" she asks.
"I spent first hour in the principal's office and now Taichi is giving me the cold shoulder," I say.
"Bummer," Mimi says.
"You like it here don't you," I say.
Of course she likes it here. She has that look that's telling me that her day rocked and she's feeling sorry for me because mine was horrible. Sometimes I hate her.
"I love it here," she says excitedly, "I'm so glad my parents let me come with you. I've already gotten five phone numbers from guys. I've made a bunch of new friends and I've been told that I have to try out for the cheer leading squad!"
"Ew!"
"It's not ew, Yama. You're just weird."
Our conversation then had to come to a stop because the teacher called for class to begin. She introduced herself and told us that we were to go around the room and introduce ourselves. I hate doing these things.
"Hi, my name is Bob and I like playing Chinese Checkers with my dog Foofoo," the first guy says.
There's a few more people until I have to stand up and introduce myself. Damn.
"I'm Yamato. I just moved here with a few of my friends. I hate people and doing these kinds of activities. We're just going to forget everything everyone is saying anyway. Nobody cares," I say.
"Oh, a new student. Let's welcome him to the school," the teacher says. She's a moron.
I sit down and Mimi stands up energetically. This is her kind of thing.
"Hello, I'm Mimi. I just moved here with Yamato and a few other friends. I like shopping, clothes, shoes, the color pink, dolls, fashion, boys, stuffed animals, and boys I'm single!" Mimi says.
A few boys whistle or hoot at her last comment and then she takes her seat.
She's really something. I'm not sure what it is, but it's something.
I sure hope she's really okay with moving with me. I hope this move is worth it too. It would suck to move all the way here with Rick and Jesse only to find out that Taichi no longer wants to pursue a relationship.
I guess I'll have to find a way to talk to him. I'm not giving up yet. I let him go once and I'm not going to do it again.
I love Bob and his love of playing Chinese checkers with his dog. He must have a genius dog.
Now, I feel this story coming to an end soon. It kind of snuck up on me. There will maybe be another chapter or two.
Thanks for reading. Please REVIEW.
