Wrong guy!

Odaiba high...

The hall ways were flooded with teenagers. Everyone was in a rush to get to class, but Tai, however, had his own problems. He was engaged in a battle with his locker.

"Stupid thing, open!" he banged on the lock

A familiar blue-eyed blonde was passing by, with his usual crowd of overzealous fan girls following behind. He spotted Tai and dismissed the girls with a wave of his hand. He then walked over to his friend.

"So how was that raw egg, Tai?"

Tai didn't have to look to know who it was; he knew the voice all too well. He let out a sigh and leaned his head on the locker.

"Sora told you about that?"

"Yes, and she wasn't modest with the details."

"What ever."

"Speaking of Sora..." Tai looked up to see Matt pointing to the end of the hall

"Here she comes." Matt smirked and Tai stiffened

"Hey Sora." Matt hollered but she didn't acknowledge him

This was in fact, the imposter; Kitty. It took a while for her to register his identity, but when she did, she put on a fake smile and walked over to them.

"Hi...uh...Matt." she stumbled with his name

"What's wrong Sora, did you forget my name? This is Tai in case you don't remember." Matt jokingly replied and pointed at Tai who seemed stunned by her presence

"Eh...I just have a lot on my mind, sorry." she sheepishly replied

"So, Sora, do you want to come over to my place? You said you'd help me with my homework...eh..." Tai put his hand on his head; it was obvious that he was nervous

"Um, actually, I have plans tonight."

"Oh, ok, then maybe tomorrow?"

"Sure." Kitty didn't even look at Tai through out the conversation; her eyes were locked on Matt

RING!

"Crap, that's the tardy bell! I can't be late again!" Tai sprinted down the hall and clumsily turned the corner; almost slipping due to the sharp turn

The hall way was now empty, except for Kitty and Matt.

"Are you doing anything later?" she asked

"Um, no, why?"

"I'd like to take you out."

Matt raised an eyebrow at her remark "I thought the guy was supposed to ask the girl out."

"Well, not this time. So do you want to go out with me?"

"Of course! Uh, I mean, sure." Matt tried to keep his cool, he's had a crush on Sora since the Digital World and this was the opportunity of a life time.

"Great, see you later." She smiled and walked away

Matt remained there for about a few more seconds before he jumped up in glee and ran to class.

Lunch...

Izzy and Sora sat a table on the left wing of the school yard. It was a little secluded from the rest of the tables but it was the perfect hide out for Matt to get away from his fan girls, and it was quiet enough for Izzy to work on his lap top. Sora took out her lunch bag and began to eat her home made lunch.

"Sora, why can't you just eat the food they give here in school?" Izzy sighed and took a spoon full of the mysterious slop they served every other day. He shoved the food in his mouth and scrunched his face in dislike.

"That's why." Sora giggled

Izzy practically chocked as he tried to spit out the mess they called "food." Sora was in the process of taking a bite out of her sandwich when she felt a whisper in her ear.

"Ready for tonight?" Matt came up from behind her

Sora could feel his hot breath dance across her skin and it made her blush. Matt sat next to her, pleased with is actions and the results he got from them. Sora forced the food down. Her face was covered in crumbs and she turned away to clean them off.

'How embarrassing! He must think I'm a pig! Wait...tonight? What about tonight?' she thought

"So, I'll pick you up at six?" Matt interrupted her thoughts

"Uh...what are we going to do?"

"What ever you want. We could just stay in my place if you want." Matt smirked and put his arm around her shoulder

"Uh..."

"Or your place is fine too."

"What are you talk-" Sora didn't finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Tai's childish screams. She looked over her shoulder to see him struggling to get through a crowd of girls.

"Get out of the way!"

"Have you seen Matt?" They would ask "Can you take us to him?" others would say

"No, leave me alone! Get away! Hey, whose hand is that!" Tai managed to get through. He reached the table and flopped down beside Sora.

"I'm exhausted!"

Sora giggled as Matt stood up.

"Sorry I can't hang out, I told the guys I'd meet them for lunch. We have to discuss our next gig."

Sora, Izzy, and Tai nodded understandingly. Matt grabbed his stuff but before he left, he leaned over to Sora and whispered in her ear

"I'll see you later." he gave her a sly smile and turned to leave

Sora was still completely confused, but she quickly dismissed Matt's odd behavior and turned to Tai

"If it's ok, Tai, I could come over today and help you with your homework."

Tai had already helped himself to her lunch. He turned to her with his mouth full; with a look like a deer caught in the head lights.

"What's wrong?"

Tai swallowed and narrowed his eyes

"I thought you were busy tonight." he told her

"I believe you have a date with Matt." Izzy intruded the conversation

"WHAT!" Tai exclaimed

"Well, I heard what he told her, like "I'll see you tonight"and I naturally assumed it was a date." he said

"Sora, is it true?" Tai looked at her with puppy eyes

"Uh..."

RING!

"Sorry, Tai gotta go!" Sora grabbed her things and ran off.

She didn't know why she was running; she didn't do anything wrong, but when Tai looks at her with those eyes, her heart breaks.

"What did I just get myself into?" she scolded herself

"I have to talk with Matt." she walked to her class which she conveniently had with the blonde

Not knowing how slow she had been walking, Sora got to class late. All eyes were on her when she entered the room. She blushed and hurriedly sat next to Matt.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Uh, Matt...about tonight."

"What about it? You don't want to go out with me?" He asked, he too, had a good puppy face

Sora didn't have the heart to turn him down so she made up an excuse. "I'd love to go out with you Matt; it's just that I just remembered that my mom wants me to help her out at the flower shop today."

"Oh, ok." he smiled

Sora sighed in relief but stiffened at his next question.

"How about tomorrow?"

"Uh...sure." She replied

Matt mumbled a low "yes!" under his breath and looked up at the board and began to copy the notes. Sora sank in her chair and sighed.

Later that afternoon...

DING-DONG!

"Tai could you get that please!" Kari shouted from the shower

DING-DONG!

"Tai!" Kari shouted; frustrated with her brother's slow reactions

"I'm going!" he shouted back

He slowly walked to the door and was surprised to see his visitor.

"Sora!"

"Hi."

"Weren't you going out with Matt?"

"Uh...something came up, are you going to let me in?"

Tai was still in shock and blankly stared at her "Yeah! Come in."

Sora walked in and set her books and bag down beside the couch.

"Let's get started." she said

Tai watched her and nodded; not saying a word.

At Matt's apartment...

DING-DONG!

Matt was currently in the shower when the door bell rang.

DING-DONG!

"Is that the bell?" he spoke to himself

DING-DONG!

"Crap!" he turned the water off and wrapped a towel around his waist

DING-DING!

"Coming!" he almost fell on the slippery surface of the floor

He ran to the door, trying to keep the towel in place.

"I'm coming." he said once more

He opened the door to see Kitty waiting on him

"Sora!" he was very surprised to see her

"I thought you were working at the shop." he ran his fingers through his wet hair

"Working?" She gave him a quizzical look; Ken had not told her about the flower shop

"Yeah, at your mom's flower shop." He looked at her suspiciously

"Oh, uh, I decided to surprise you instead!"

"Well, I'm surprised!" He tightly held on the towel around his waist

Kitty had not noticed that he was practically naked. She blushed at the sight of his wet body and turned away.

"Come in. Let me get dressed and then we'll do something." he ushered her inside and closed the door behind them.
