Ch. 22 A Little Fun
"Kari, come here right now!" I heard Tai yell at me.
"What, I didn't do it!" I yelled back.
"That is the point, I had to do it all for myself," I saw him walking towards me.
"What are you talking about?" I questioned.
I heard him laugh, he came closer, he had a huge smile and hugged me.
"I am really confused," I pulled away.
"Come on, I have something I want to show you guys," Tai took my arm and pulled me in the direction he came from.
We walked onto the stage, we saw the others, they were by Izzy's laptop.
"We finished just in time Tai," Willis informed him; I had no clue what he was talking about.
"Cool, look at this Kari, you'll love it," Tai motioned Davis and I to look at the laptop.
"What is this?" I asked.
"It is a video camera," Yolei told me.
"For what?" I questioned.
"To video tape things, what else would yo use it for?" Sora joked.
"We took a bunch of pictures, but keeping a video is much better, it let's you hear voices, see motions, and it shows just how crazy we are," Mimi explained.
"A video, sounds great!" I smiled.
"Glad you like the plan, because we've been recording since you came in," Willis smiled.
"You guys are terrible," Davis shook his head.
"Well, let's get started," Tai winked.
"Hi everyone, I'm Sora! Right now, I'm into playing tennis and hanging out with my friends. I hope I still have my friends the next time I see this, and if I don't…Sora, go find those friends of yours, they're the only thing that kept your spirit high!" Sora started.
"Hey, I'm Tai. I'm into soccer, I also enjoy being around my friends. Now I have some pointers for my future self. Tai, don't be such a jerk, be nice to Kari, stay with Sora, don't get into any more fights with Matt, and stay friends with Izzy. Also, don't forget about Sidney, she's a good friend, I just forgot after she knocked me out with the soccer ball, no hard feelings Sid! Keep your friends! If you lose them, you have nothing to live for, I mean nothing!" Tai warned himself.
"My name is Kari, your average teenager, so you would think. I like to be around my friends, playing soccer, and singing. Now Kari, if you ever go back to that Dark World, there's nothing to fear, Ken is your friend, just don't let him forget it! Make sure that you'll aways be friends with Davis, even if I didn't end up staying with him. Be nice to Tai, he's your big brother, tell him how you feel. Always remember who you friends are, don't ever lose them, no matter what! Even if they thought you liked them, tried to kiss you, got in fights with, no matter what, they're still you friends, they just have rough points. We all have our problems," I told the video.
"Hey everyone, it's me, Davis! I like to play soccer and be with my friends, I better be like that when I'm older. Hey Kari, I wonder if we're still together. Oh, back on the subject…Davis, don't fight with T.K., be friends! Don't be a fool, be true, keep your friends, and be all you can be. Oh, and the last thing that I want to say…" Davis whispered the last part.
"The names T.K., and I want to tell you something, the thought, if I can't have one, I'll take the other, doesn't work! Don't use it, it will only make you heart broken, and it will make you a fool. I've tried it. I'm not into a lot of things right now; I just like to play basketball once in awhile, be around my friends and try to get to know my older brother as much as possible. Anyways, Yolei, you're great, I don't know what makes me like you so much, but I'm glad I fell for you! Kari, I'm really sorry for all the trouble I put you through. It made me a terrible friend, I wanted something more than friendship with you, but I didn't get it, and I'm glad, things work better with you and Davis and Yolei and I. Always keep your friends, those people, well, they are the best, even if you get in fights," T.K. informed us.
"Hey guys, it's Yolei! Don't be afraid to be different, be unique! Girl, I hope you still have glasses, you look good with them. T.K., you're great, you'll always be in my heart, even if you're a year younger than me. Kari, I'm glad I met you; you're the greatest girl friend I ever had! Cody, thank you for all you've done, being the only friend I had before I met T.K., Kari, and Davis, it must have been hard on you. Oh, Davis, I can't believe I ever had a crush on you, you are pretty lucky, I'm glad everything worked out for you and Kari; I hope things are still the same. Don't be afraid to go on an adventure; don't let anything or anyone stop you from being yourself. Keep up on the good work and follow your dreams, they'll come true, that is if you want them to," Yolei smiled.
"This is Izzy speaking, and I'm here to tell you that, if you're watching this video Izzy, you're still as smart as you were back at this time. Mimi, I'm sorry for not telling you at first, about me liking you that is. Tai, thanks for being my friend, I know when we met at summer camp, you didn't really even know my name, but we've came a long way. Kari and Davis, I hope you stay together forever, that also goes for T.K. and Yolei and Sora and Tai. Sora, I hope you still play tennis. Matt, you're probably working on your music career, you were always good with instruments, you always played that harmonica. Kari, I hope that Dark World doesn't take the better of you. Davis, keep Kari safe, she young, smart, and pretty cute for a little girl. She'll need your help and your love, make sure you give it to her, and never break her heart. Yolei, you're very smart, don't ever change that, keep T.K. in line, don't let him act like he did with Davis. T.K., fighting doesn't solve anything, I've learned that myself! Be careful in your journey through life. Cody, what is there to say about you? You're great, lying isn't good, and you know that, anyone that is smart would want you as a friends. I won't go into the rest of you guys, just remember, no matter how far apart we are, we will always be a team. Our memories will last a life time or more! Don't ever forget that, we may grow apart, but we'll always be in each others hearts," Izzy's words were sweet.
"Hey guys and girls, it's Mimi! I'm not going to go through the whole team and tell you how great you guys are. Just remember, you're all great, never ever change! Be smart, do as Izzy and Yolei say, don't always follow Tai and Davis. Sure, they're born leader, but Izzy and Yolei were the smart ones back in these days. Who knows, Tai and Davis might have grown up to be smart! Mimi, I hope I'm still as pretty as now, even thought Izzy would most likely like me if I was ugly! Don't change and be yourself. I better give the others a chance to talk, don't forget me!" Mimi laughed.
"This is Cody. I don't have much to say other then; you guys have been the best friends I've ever had! Tell the truth, it may be hard, but only lie if it's for a good cause. I've only lied a couple of times in my life; it made me a better friend. Be careful, be true, and be yourself," Cody made it short.
"Hi everyone, remember me, Joe? I have a warning for myself; try not to be scared of so much stuff. Your friends will always help you through. I don't know what the future will be like, but I hope that the only thing that changed is we are even better friends than we were in this time. I'm not going to hold up the others, but remember what I said, and what Izzy said, we'll always be friends," Joe explained.
"I'm Willis, and I'm your friend from America! I'm glad I met you guys. I wish I lived in Japan, if I did; I would have my friends there when I needed them the most. I'm glad we met, if we didn't, I wouldn't have ever had any friends. I'm glad I'm part of the team. Sorry Davis, I shouldn't have kissed Kari when you left me in New York, you are pretty lucky to have such a wonderful girl! That sorry also goes to T.K. for kissing Yolei; you also have a great girl! I hope to be friends forever. I won't ever forget the memories that are engraved in my heart," Willis promised.
"Hey, it's Matt! I'm glad everything worked out this time around, but what about in the future? I hope I'm still into the whole music thing! Tai, I bet he's playing soccer and still with Sora. Kari, you'll be with Davis still, I know it as a fact! As many said before, don't be afraid to be yourself, live the life you want. Don't let your fears control you, if I did, well, I wouldn't be such a great big brother. T.K., even though we are only half brothers, I'll always look after you! Thanks for everything that my friends have shared with me. What would I do without you guys?" Matt questioned.
"My name is Sidney, and I just really joined this group. Tai, I'm very sorry for chucking that soccer ball at you some years ago. Matt, I'm glad I met you; you are truly one of the best things that happened to me. Kari, thanks for being my friend. I hope our friendship never breaks, it is the hardest part of life, keeping your friendship alive. I don't think we will ever have problems with that!" Sidney decided.
"Ok, tomorrow we'll get Ken, now we'll watch what we have," Izzy said.
"We're going to watch the video!" Davis was shocked.
"That's what they're usually made for," Mimi informed him.
"Do you not want us to hear what you whispered?" I asked.
"Maybe," he replied.
"We can go past your part," Izzy decided.
"No, I think it would be for the better if we heard it," Davis was unsure.
We turned on the video. Listening to everyones was really weird. When we came up to Davis's, we listened carefully.
"I want to say, I think I might love Kari," we heard Davis's words, he left the room, I followed him.
"Davis! It's ok; I think I might love you too!" I yelled after him.
"You're just saying that to make me feel better," I heard footsteps.
"No, it's the truth," I said.
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Davis asked.
"You told me yourself that I wouldn't lie to you," I explained.
"But you did!" he yelled.
"No, you thought T.K. was lying, I never said he told the truth, I never said he didn't," I told him.
"But you said I was right," he said quickly.
"I said sure to you when you asked if I knew your reasoning," I remembered.
Davis turned around and started to walk away from me.
"You can't run from the truth Davis, it will always be with you!" I yelled to him.
He stopped dead in his tracks and quickly turned around.
"I don't like the truth," Davis admitted.
"Who does Davis? The truth is painful sometimes, but at points, it is so sweet and so nice you'd die for it," I smiled.
"How do you know all of this?" he randomly questioned.
"It comes from my heart, not my head," I started to walk away.
"Oh, Kari, don't go, I'm…I'm sorry!" Davis yelled after me.
"Sorry can't always heal what people say," I told him.
"Good one Davis, you just lost your whole life, the only thing that made you happy, the perfect girl, why do you have to be so stupid, such a fool," I heard Davis tell himself.
"You just don't get it Davis! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You're the best friend I need, the one that makes me complete! You just need to be yourself, nobody else," I opened the door to the stage and left him out there.
"Kari, I was worried, where is Davis?" Tai quickly asked.
"I don't know if he's going to come back in, he's out in the hall if you want to go talk to him. I don't think he would want to talk to anyone," I told him.
"Did you guys get in a fight?" he questioned.
"I don't want to talk about it!" I snapped for the first time since I told Davis.
"I didn't mean to make you mad, let me go talk to him," Tai rushed out of the stage room, avoiding contact with me, like he was scared.
"I hate this, I hate it and I just want everything to go back to normal!" I blurted out after Tai left.
"Everything will be fine, just give it some time," Izzy said.
"I don't want to give it any more time! I just want everything to be normal again, like it was before I told him!" I screamed.
"You can't change the past Kari, you just have to live with it," Sora told me.
"I hate them!" I yelled.
"Hate who?" Willis was puzzled.
"Davis and Tai, I think I might even hate T.K. right now," I admitted.
T.K. quickly looked at me confused.
"Whatever I did, I'm sorry," he told me.
"You didn't do anything, not lately, it was just, never mind," I decided to stop my complaining.
"What did you fight about?" Izzy asked me.
"It's stupid, about what he said on the video," I sadly said.
"Nothing is stupid about that, it spooked Tai to death. What did you say?" Sora questioned.
"He thought I told a lie, but I explained that he told me that I wouldn't lie to him, which I wouldn't. I told him something and started to walk away. He said he was sorry, I told him that sorry doesn't always heal what you say. He started to talk to himself, said that he was stupid, a fool! I told him that he didn't get it, that he needed to be himself. I then left him, scared of what had happened," I said.
"He's young, he has much to learn Kari, he doesn't know you full through, you need to make him know that you aren't as weak as you look, that you need you space, your time. You have to tell him what you want, and that you can't change what happened, or what will happen, it will just be how it should, do as it may. Most of the guys have to, they don't know much about this thing we call love, but when it hits them, they'll know! I remember this from the start, someone said that you'll need to give him time, let him learn on his own, just give him a few hints here and there," Sora explained.
"I guess you're right Sora, but I don't think Davis understands that," I softly said.
"He'll figure it out soon," Sora seemed confident, yet scared.
"I hope that's the truth," I walked over to T.K. and Yolei.
"It will be ok," T.K. told me.
"What if it isn't? Maybe we weren't meant to be," I said.
"Kari, you and Davis were meant to be together, I know it! Don't ever say you weren't. It is your destiny to be with him. Don't ask me how I know this, I just do!" Yolei explained.
"Yolei's right, you wouldn't look right with anyone else," T.K. agreed.
"Maybe, but I don't know. Sometimes your destiny doesn't go down the right path, falls off course on to a bumpy road," I decided.
"Don't think like that!" T.K. yelled at me.
I fell to the floor in laughter, laughter! I found what he said funny, I didn't know why.
"Kari? Are you ok?" Yolei questioned.
"T.K., you never talk to me like that!" I giggled.
"I'm getting sick of you talking so negatively! Get up, now!" he yelled reaching out his arms.
"Huh? Uh, T.K.? Oh, ok," I was confused, but got up.
"Come on," he took my hand and walked me out of the room, into the hall, right where Davis and Tai were.
"Tell him! Now Kari!" T.K. shouted.
"What, tell him what?" I questioned.
"Tell him how you felt," he calmly said.
"Why should I?" I questioned.
"To keep you guys together!" T.K. was angry again.
"I feel scared, worried to death," I said looking at the ground.
"To Davis," T.K. took my head in his hands and pointed it to look at Davis, my eyes didn't follow.
"Kari, listen, I don't want to hurt you anymore, I'm just going to tell you sorry. That is the best I can do since you're not telling me anything," Davis explained.
"I hate this," I quickly looked at Tai.
"I've been think, you need to go a little slower, maybe you should do some double dating. You could either go with Sora and I, T.K. and Yolei, or Izzy and Mimi," Tai told me.
"What do you think Davis?" I asked.
"I think it's a great idea," he admitted.
"So do I," I agreed.
"I think the words I love you are too strong for your stage, I think it's too strong for anyone in our group. Sure, we've know each other for some odd years, some for four years, but that doesn't matter, you have to be ready for the words," T.K.'s words were sweet.
"T.K. is right, let's back up a little, how about to the kiss on the cheek?" Tai asked.
"No, we can't change what has past. Let Kari and I decide, it's our relationship, and I want what's best for her," Davis decided.
"I think a kiss on the lips is fine, just nothing more," I said.
"Whatever you want, is what I want," he agreed with me.
"Oh, well, fine, just don't do it around me!" Tai said disappointed.
"Ok, I'll just tell you about them!" I laughed.
"Oh boy, let's get back to the others," Davis smiled.
"Sounds great!" T.K. opened the door.
"I'm the one who should be sorry," I whispered in Davis's ear after Tai walked in the door.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"I did lie to you, when we took the pictures, I said the kiss was a joke," I whispered.
"Who cares, that's a thing of the past!" Davis smiled.
We walked into the room. Smiles were on our faces, we were happy once again.
Now, you must be thinking by now, this is going to be the end for sure. Never! There is so much left to talk about. What will happen once Willis leaves? What will Ken say on our video? There are so many questions left to be answered. My story isn't that short, what about Izzy and Mimi? Let me just say, my story is long from over!
"Hey! Look, come watch this," Izzy called us over to his laptop.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I decided to do some editing, with Yolei's help that is," he answered.
"Just watch it guys," Yolei told Davis and I.
"I want to say, I think I might, be with Kari forever," the video showed Davis's part, with a change.
"I like it much better this way," I smiled.
"Yeah, but I don't sound like that!" Davis was laughing a sweet laugh.
"I'm sorry, next time I'll try to match your voice," Izzy joked.
"It's great, Davis was just joking," I decided.
"Yeah, just a joke," Davis lied, for lying I hit him.
"Now what should we do?" I questioned.
"How about we play a game I like to call no more hitting Davis!" Davis rubbed his shoulder.
"Lying doesn't get you anywhere, Cody taught me that," I told him.
"Well, oh, fine!" he didn't argue back.
"What should we do is a good question. There doesn't seem like much to do," Yolei looked sad.
"Follow me, if you dare to find something to do," I had an evil smile.
"Should we bring the others?" Izzy asked.
"Bring who you want, but not everyone," I answered.
"We'll be right back then," Yolei pulled Davis with her.
After a minute or two, they brought another one of our teammates.
"Yolei, you brought T.K., I knew you would!" I laughed.
"No, I decided to bring him," Davis corrected me.
"I brought Cody," Yolei laughed with me.
"What about you Izzy?" I asked turning around.
"I thought about bringing Mimi, but-" I cut Izzy off.
"Sora?" I was puzzled.
"What of it?" she quickly asked.
"Nothing, I just didn't think Izzy would pick you," I replied.
"She's brave, unlike Mimi," he admitted.
"Let's get going then," I walked over to the stage steps, everyone in my little group followed.
"Where are we?" Yolei asked with a shake in her voice.
"We are going up these stairs, into that door, in there we'll find…I don't know, but Matt said it was really cool up there, so I want to see for myself. I thought, if some of the others come with me, I know I won't get hurt," I smiled.
"Matt once told me about this place, it was before Christmas," Sora remembered.
"Really? Good," I smiled.
"Why do you say that?" she asked.
"Oh, you'll see," I slyly answered.
"Are we there yet?" Davis complained.
"It's behind this door," I tried to get it open.
"Here, maybe it's locked, I have Sidney's keys," Sora said walking up to the door. She tried many different keys, after ten keys, Sora got the door open.
"See, told you it would be good," I laughed.
"Oh, come on!" Sora opened the door and we walked in.
"Someone turn the light on, just the first switch," I instructed.
Izzy turned on the light; we saw that the room was made for a small party. It had a dancing floor, a small stage, big enough for a D.J., and a bunch of different colored lights.
"It looks like a messed up ball room," Yolei commented.
"No, it's better! Watch this, if you flip this switch on…Multicolored lights!" I turned the other switch on, colored lights flashed on.
"Oh, I didn't even know about that!" Sora giggled.
"Isn't it great? When I first came here to see Matt, right away he should me this place. He was really happy to show off this place, he said that no one else knew about it, that he wanted it to be our friendship place, just for the team," I explained.
"Matt told me that he decided to make this his own little place, that he didn't want the other band members to know about it," Sora told us.
"You were right Kari, it is much better then a messed up ball room!" Yolei said.
"I found this portion," I walked onto the stage and found a door on the floor.
"What is it?" T.K. asked as they walked up by me.
"A trap door, it leads to the basement, a place you can't get to from anywhere else," I smiled.
"Let's see what's down there!" Davis was excited.
I led them down the steps.
"Look at this," I saw a table, on it was a harmonica.
"Do you think that's the one from four years ago?" T.K. asked.
"I think it might be," Sora looked a little spooked.
"Look at all of this! He kept his childhood, locking it up," I looked in a box; there I saw his clothes from four years ago.
"Ah!" Sora screamed.
"What is it?" Izzy quickly asked.
"It's, it's, my, my…It's my…My helmet," Sora pointed at a light blue helmet on a table.
"How did he get that?" T.K. asked.
"The day after summer camp, I asked Matt to hold it for me. I forgot to get it back from him. Everytime I saw him, he reminded me that he still had it. I forgot about it, I didn't really care about it. All this stuff is spooking me, let's go!" Sora walked quickly to the door.
"Just remember Sora, it was our destiny to be here at this point of time!" I remembered what Yolei
told me.
Sora quickly turned around and walked back over to me.
"It scares me to see this stuff, I didn't like the past. It was full of fights between Tai and Matt. If they weren't fighting, Tai was usually yelling at Izzy! He's a great person, but when I see these things, I only remember the bad times," she explained.
"Seeing Davis must not help," I said.
"Why would you say that?" Sora questioned.
"He wears Tai's goggles, don't they spook you?" I replied with a question.
"Not really, when they're on him, I don't really notice. It's just when they're sitting there, not being used, letting you look right at them," Sora answered.
"Let's go, the others might be getting worried," I walked towards the stairs.
"Yeah," Yolei agreed with me.
"Sora, the thoughts you remember, they're part of your past, look to the future, don't fall back," I walked up the stairs.
I quickly closed the trap door. I thought it would be better if we left, not telling anyone what we saw. We then left the small party room.
"You haven't said much," I looked at Cody as we walked down the hallway.
"I don't have much to say," Cody told me.
"I wonder if K.C. tried to call you," I said.
"Ah! K.C., she was going to call me, I'm so stupid! Why does everything have to go wrong? No, my mom's going to answer the phone! How could I be so stupid? I can't believe I got locked inside a concert place the day K.C. was going to call. I should have went straight home, I shouldn't of stayed! She's going to think I didn't want to talk to her. My mom's going to tell her I got locked in the concert place! K.C. will think I just didn't want to talk!" Cody yelled in a nervous way.
"If she's smart, she'll call back tomorrow," Yolei said to him.
"Yolei's right! If the girl likes you, she'll call back!" Davis shouted.
"Is Davis sick?" Cody questioned.
"No, why would you ask?" Davis had a puzzled voice.
"You were agreeing with Yolei, you never do that!" he replied.
"I think I might be sick now," Davis joked.
"Davis!" Yolei and I screamed at him.
"Sorry," is all he said back.
"We better go a little faster, I took Sora with me…If I'm gone with her too long, Tai will think I'm trying to take her away from him," Izzy decided.
"Yeah, Mimi might get mad too. I didn't like her when she got mad four years ago, I don't think I will now!" T.K. laughed.
"You guys are terrible; I find it fun to get Tai mad!" Sora smiled.
"Sora, would you do that?" I asked.
"I think it would be fun," she told me.
"I'm going to have to be part of this, aren't I?" Izzy looked worried.
"It wouldn't work without you," Sora walked over to him.
"What are you doing?" Izzy quickly jumped back.
"Just listen…" she whispered the plan in his ear. Izzy's eye lit up.
"If Mimi gets mad at me, I won't ever forgive you!" Izzy warned Sora.
"Don't worry, I'll tell her afterwards!" she smiled brightly.
"I don't know what this plan is, but can we get going?" Yolei asked.
"The faster the better," Sora started to run down the hall, we followed.
We got to then stage rooms doors. Izzy and Sora started to walk in. Davis, T.K., Yolei, Cody, and I waited in the doorway; we could see what was going on.
"What should I do?" Izzy asked Sora.
"Just go with the act follow my lead," Sora told him.
"Ok," Izzy hesitated.
The acting began!
"Izzy, follow me, he isn't in here," Sora grabbed Izzy hand.
"I'm coming," he wasn't expecting her to grab his hand.
The walked forward.
"Just, don't get scared…Get up against the wall," Sora told him.
Tai was on the stage, he turned and watched.
"I'm fine Izzy, as long as you are that is," Sora kissed him on the forehead.
"Let's get going, I have this great place, no one knows about it," Izzy said loud enough for Tai to hear. They started to walk to the stage.
"Let's get our stuff and go," Sora took his hand again, they walked onto the stage.
"Sora! How…How could you?" Tai asked with a shaky voice.
"Um…I've always liked Izzy; I can't get over how smart he is!" Sora quickly answered.
"I thought we were friends, you just wanted to take Sora from me. What about Mimi? Did you even think about how much it's going to hurt her?" he questioned.
"She doesn't need to know," Izzy replied.
"She's going to because I'm going to tell her," Tai turned around.
"Tai! Wait!" Sora quickly yelled.
"What do you want Sora?" he asked.
"It, it was just a joke…I didn't think you'd fall for it," she looked worried.
"You kissed him," Tai quickly replied.
"On the forehead! It was a joke, I never liked Izzy. You should know I'm telling the truth. I just wanted to play a joke, but it went wrong," Sora explained.
"Prove it!" he yelled.
"She's telling the truth Tai, I don't like her, I'm only looking at one girl, and that's Mimi. I didn't even want to do this, I just wanted to help Sora," Izzy admitted.
"How can I trust you?" Tai asked.
"Because he's telling the truth!" I yelled from the doorway.
"Who said that?" he quickly questioned.
"I did Tai, your little sister!" I shouted.
He hesitated to say anything; he just backed away from Sora and Izzy.
"I'm your sister; don't even say that you can't trust me!" I started to walk towards the stage. The others in my small group followed me.
"You've lied before," Tai said.
"When?" I asked.
"You lie a lot if you think about it. Every time someone would ask you if you were ok, you'd say you were fine, but you never were!" he was tense.
"That doesn't count Tai!" I stopped walking when I got to the stairs.
"Girls always do that, I never understood why, but they do. They don't always like to say how they feel, not when they just need there space," Davis backed me up.
"Fine, but what you did hurt. I know just how to get my revenge," he turned to Izzy.
"Revenge? We said we were sorry," Sora said puzzled.
"I'm going to tell Mimi about Jennifer!" Tai laughed.
"Don't! Please, don't say anything to her, you promised me you'd never mention her again! What kind of friend are you if you break a promise?" Izzy was worried.
"You've broken a lot yourself," Tai said.
"That's because those promises put people in great danger! Don't you understand the promise rule? You only tell or break the promise if the promise you hold will get that person in trouble or puts them in danger. Other wise, you keep your promise, no matter what!" Izzy explained.
"Good-bye Izzy," Tai ran out of the room.
"Tai! Why was I ever friends with you?" he yelled as the door slammed closed.
"He's such a jerk!" I yelled, not meaning to say it out loud.
"Why am I so stupid, I'm so sorry Izzy, this is all my fault. I thought he would know it was a joke, I thought I knew him better, I guess I don't," Sora sadly said.
"I just can't believe he would sink so low," Izzy shook his head slowly.
"Izzy, who is Jennifer? It's just a question, if you don't want to answer it, it's ok," I questioned.
"Jennifer is the one who ruined my life; she is the hate inside me. In 8th grade, I was going out with her; she asked me out, I didn't know why. Jennifer is one of those pretty, popular girls; you'd never think she'd ask me out. I said yes, even though I didn't really know her. We went out for a month. I helped her pass her classes, she wasn't that smart, she was all for her look. I was such an idiot! She only wanted me for my brain. She switched all of my papers with hers, that went for tests too. She changed the names, turning my work into hers. I failed so many classes that one month because of her. I should have known that a girl like her wouldn't like me; she just wanted to use me. The last month of school that was, the 8th grade dance, I went with her, that was the day of our break up. She did it in front of everyone! I was such a fool. I was lucky; Mimi already moved to America, she doesn't know about it. Jennifer even stole my laptop, just so she could get information on me, not for the good of it. Rumors went around, nobody liked me, I was just a freak, a loser that no one would ever want! She knows things that I've locked inside for the longest time, and it hurts to think about it. Tai swore that he wouldn't tell anyone in our group. It was only Tai and I at the dance, no one else went. Now that he's going to tell Mimi, she's going to think I'm shallow, that I just go for the pretty face, but I'm not like that! I just wish I never said yes to Jennifer," Izzy explained.
"Jerk, she sounds like a jerk!" Yolei exclaimed.
"She's in our math class," Sora said.
"No, the Jennifer in our class is smart and has glasses," Izzy disagreed.
"People change, take T.K. for an example. He was once a short, sweet boy. Now, he's tall and he tries to be stronger, not as kind now," Sora explained.
"But, she doesn't look like my Jennifer, mine had blonde hair and was a cheerleader," Izzy said.
"Don't argue with me! I know what I'm talking about!" Sora yelled.
"I know that you're wrong and I'm right!" he protested.
"Stop it! Don't fight, not if you want to stop Tai," I opened the door and walked through.
"How I hate him sometimes!" I heard Izzy yell as he stomped through the door.
"Tai! Where are you?" I yelled, the hall we were in was empty.
"Maybe he went through one of these doors," Sora suggested.
"Let's start searching then," Izzy opened a random door. It was a lucky choice, in the room was Tai talking to Mimi and the others listening.
