I get it! No one likes the Daikeru… oh well… I tried… hehe… Here's the "not-so-long-anticipated" chapter 3… Sora's P.O.V. this time. The only other character in this chapter that will be talking is Mimi, so I'll heed the advice given to me. I'll try to make it clearer of who's talking. Anyways, this chapter, no matter how short, is very provacative... don't hate me!

Chapter 3: Hear Those Sweet Words

Today was the crappiest day ever. Yamato called me early this morning saying

he couldn't go to the prom with me anymore. 'Why?' I asked… he said some crap about

having a change of heart… what the hell does that mean? I liked him so much, and then he lets me down, just like that? Ok… I gotta be calm. I don't want Mimi to freak out… Crap. Too late.

"Hey Sora… are you gonna be okay? You haven't touched your non-fat low-carb frozen yogurt. Usually you'd be shoving 4 or 5 of those easily… but you've just been staring at it… mouthing… something… What is it, hunny?"

Stupid Yamato.

"Sora? I can't understand you. You have to speak just a bit louder…"

"Stupid Yamato! I can't believe that he backed out on me! Oh Mimi, what am I gonna do?"

"Well, first of all, you have to stop yelling. You're drawing so much attention to yourself, and you're not even wearing the right outfit to do so, meaning… that's not good. Second, you need to forget that bastard!"

I can't.

"Oh. So what do you think I should do about prom? I really wanna go! It's our last big thing before graduation… Before we all go our separate ways…"

"Why don't you take Taichi? You two are practically best friends, Sora. If I didn't know any better, I would think you two are fuc…"

"Mimi! Jeez… Anyways, I don't know…"

It's Taichi. It's not like I don't love him… He just… I can't. I broke his heart.

"What? You must be blind and stupid to not realize how much that boy loves you… Sora, he's the one that arranged everything for Yamato. He's the one that knew which flowers you liked, which food you liked, and your favorite song, all so that Yamato could ask you out."

Taichi… did that? He went to all that trouble… for me?

"That's stupid! He wouldn't do that for me! Taichi's not the guy of my dreams! He's my best friend! Definitely not boyfriend material! Besides, Taichi's an arrogant, insolent, small minded, little prick, with a dick to match!"

Oh… God… did I just say that? I hope she's not going to ask…

"Gasp! Don't tell me… did you and Taichi… do it?"

No… we made love… it was so beautiful… so wonderful… so perfect! I remember how passionate he was. He truly cared for me. A part of me still longs for the day I could be with him again like that… but no. I broke his heart. Ever since then, he acted as if it never happened, so I don't either…

"Don't tell… anybody…"

"Oh, I swear it, Sora! My lips are sealed! So… what happened?"

Damn it…

"Fine… Since you won't get off my back until I tell you… I might as well tell you. At the end of our little double date back in middle school, Takeru called me from Taichi's bathroom. Apparently, Taichi talked about how we kissed and I only told him that we could be friends…"

"What? Girl! You didn't even tell me you guys kissed! What else haven't you told me?"

Oh… God… Mimi's all… frantic now.

"Anyways, I went over later that night. He was still crying. So, we talked about what a wonderful night I had with him. And… we kissed… and kissed… and kissed… and things went on from there… And… it was so great! It felt so good… and we were all sweaty and he was so loving and tender… Sigh…"

"Wow… That must have been so great… So, what happened after that…"

Oh… God… Mimi's gonna hate me.

"After that, he was upset. I asked him what was wrong… and…"

"Sora! What did you do?"

"He told me I said Yamato's name in bed."

"No… You… Didn't!"

I wish I didn't…

"I did. Ever since then, he's acted like it never happened. He acted my best friend, and he would talk about how he had these small crushes on these girls, and I would just nod my head and listen. So, I would talk about how I want to go to prom with Yamato. I didn't know he would ever ask me."

"That's because he told Yamato. Sora, all Taichi wanted was to make you happy. So, he made sure that you two would go to prom. Sora, he loves you!"

He did… Wow… Taichi really loves me.

"Mimi… What have I done? I've made a mistake! I may have lost the only guy who may have ever loved me so. I feel so stupid for talking about Yamato as my dream guy, when he was always there in front of me…"

"Yah. Girl, do something about it! Stop sitting here and go get your man!"

Gotta… tell… Taichi… Gotta… tell… Taichi… that… I… love… him… before it's too late… Oh darn! I didn't catch the last thing Mimi said…

"I hope it works out for the best… And I really hope Yamato knows what he's doing…"

a short one, i know. I'll wrap this up pretty soon...
