Chapter 2: Self Redemption

Going to bed thinking about all the different scenario's that might have happened that night with Sora didn't help him for the next day. He woke up exhausted; he could never really wake up. He thought about one scenario, the one where he had mumbled that he loved her, and thought that it was impossible for her to have heard him because he had said it so quietly to himself and she was 4 or 5 apartments away. But before he could think about that any more, he was out the door with his sister, walking to school. Tai had planned something for that day. The same thing he planned to say to Sora a day ago. Today as soon as he got to school he planned to tell her the way he felt. He was going to tell her how his heart always pounded against his chest when he saw her. By the time Tai had finished talking to himself inside his head, he was already at school. He saw Sora talking to Mimi and went to go talk to her.

"Hi Sora." He said surprisingly without stumbling

"Oh hi Tai" she answered him happily with her bright white smile on her face

"Uh- Sora are your ok?" Mimi question because of the look on Sora's face.

"Yea-"she paused and before she could continue Tai was talking.

"Sora can I talk to you somewhere private?" Tai said and without waiting for an answer pulled Sora away to talk privately.

Sora's Locker

"What is it Tai?" Sora said as if she didn't already know.

"Well-"He said once again stumbling

This time Tai was prepared he was coaching himself mentally. He was thinking come on Tai this is your chance. It's now or never. The odds may be against you a million to one but your can do it. We've prepared for this, for, for ever. Don't worry about what she says, all that matters that you tried! These words passed through Tai's head for the past few days about a million times but that was the last time he say them to himself.

Then it blurted out of him!

"Sora I love you" he said slowly.

Before she had a chance to respond the bell for first class had rang and Tai had to leave because he still didn't have his books from his locker.

Between 3rd and 4th Period

Kari had just come out of her science class and saw Sora walking alone and went to go talk to her.

"Hi Sora!" Kari said in a rather happy voice.

"Hey Hikari, what's up?" Sora answered seeming not so happy.

"I was wondering, do you know what's wrong with Taichi?" Kari asked rather worried now.

"I think I know what's wrong with him." Sora said more happy then before.

"He- He told me he loves me." Sora said happier then before.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, HE'S MY OWN BROTHER AND HE HASN'T EVEN SAID THAT HE LOVES ME!" Kari practically screamed with a look on her face as if she saw the Abominable Snowman.

"Not so loud Kari!" Sora said more mad then happy now because of Hikari's out burst.

"And besides I don't know how I'm going to tell him that I-" she had to stop because if Matt had heard who was approaching them now.

"Hey, guys what are you talking about?" Yamato asked.

"Oh nothing." Kari said quickly.

"Yea don't worry." Sora added.

Matt started to get suspicious and decided he talk to Mimi about it after school.

After School

"Mimi! Mimi!" Matt yelled after school.

"What is it Yamato?" Mimi asked

"Mimi do you know why Tai and Sora have been acting weird lately?" Yamato questioned.

"I don't know." Mimi lied

"Why do you ask?" she added

"It's because they have both been acting strange and I think they're keeping something from me." Matt answered rather worried.

"I'm sure they'll get over it." Mimi told Matt to relieve him.

Mimi was thinking about the little thing she had for Matt and decided to ask him then and there.

"Hey Matt are you doing anything tonight?" Mimi asked in a shy voice.

"No why?" Matt asked curiously.

"Yamato, do you want to come to the movies tonight with me?" Mimi blurted out so quickly.

"Sure, why not." He accepted.

"Ok, bye Yama!" Mimi said with a gigantic smile on her face.

"Bye." Yamato yelled since it was still pretty noisy outside.
