A/N: Ok.. sorry about the long wait… but I want to start this now before someone gets mad at me. This is the fixed version, and it'll seem kind of the same, but there will be some changes. And I'm trying to make them longer, but I have to see if I can?
I entered the room after the teacher called me in, "Y éste es nuestro nuevo estudiante Sora. Espero que usted la trate bien y la demuestre alrededor." (And this is our new student Sora. I hope you treat her well, and show her around.) I smiled weakly as I looked at every person in the room while all of them stared back at me, and I rubbed my arm nervously cause I hated it when people stared at me. I turned to the teacher when I heard her call my name, "¿Por qué usted no dice un poco de materia sobre se?" (Why don't you tell us something about yourself?)
I nodded, "My name is Sora Takenouchi, and I am 18 years old. I moved to here from Kyoto, and I used to live here in Odaiba since forever but moved when I was 14, but I actually never went to this high school," I said.
"Muy interesante. Sientese al lado de Yamato alla," (Very interesting. Sit over there next to Yamato,) she pointed to the back of the room. I followed where she was pointing at and stared at the blonde sitting down looking completely bored out of his mind. I dragged myself to the seat in front of him, and dropped my backpack on the floor with a loud thump. I sighed, 'I'm really not looking forward to this now.' I muttered to myself as I wrote down the adjectives in Spanish.
I looked at the new girl sitting next to me, and started to check her out. She was wearing tight, ripped on the knees jeans, a black t-shirt with something written on it with a shiny silver color. I also noticed that she was wearing an oversized pair of sunglasses over her eyes, and looked at her oddly. She must have not noticed that she was inside now, and that sunglasses are forbidden in the school. Oh well. I continued to write the rest of the notes on the board as the teacher kept on talking about something until I zoned her out. I hated Spanish class, and I had to do something to take my mind off of it. I tore a small piece of my notepaper and crumbled it into a small ball and flinged it with my fingers. It landed on the new girl in front of me. I have now found something fun to do. I continued to fling more small paper balls and wanted to see how much I could stick onto her hair. I bet the last one I threw hit her hard enough for her to notice, and she turned around to face me. "Stop it," she whispered, but it had some anger in her voice.
"Make me," I whispered back.
She looked at me with disgust, "Fuck you!" and then turned around again. I threw a larger ball that was made up of one whole piece of paper, and it hit her right in the middle of the back of her head. I watched as she raised her hand and waved it slightly side to side. 'Shit,' and I slouched more into my chair. "¿Si, Senorita Takenouchi?" Ms. Gonzalez looked at her.
"Matt here keeps on throwing huge paper wads at me, and he won't stop," she said innocently.
The teacher stared at me with glaring eyes, "Senor Ishida, detention for you after school. See you there." And then turned back around to write more of the notes. My mouth hung open, and I watched with my wide eyes Sora spinning around in her chair and grin at me. "Bitch!" I muttered for only her to hear.
"Thank you." she grinned wider.
Well, he did deserve it. If I didn't do that, he wouldn't have stopped, and now he has detention. I laughed to myself. I'm not always this mean, but if I hate someone I'll be mean back. When the bell rang, I picked up my stuff and started to walk to my next period. I walked for a good couple of inches until my foot got caught under another foot, and I started to fall. I closed my eyes and waited for my body to hit the ground…
"Owww!" I moaned to myself walked through the hallways searching for my next class. I touched my head gingerly and flinched when I touched the bump on my head. Stupid Matt freaking tripped me, but at least he gets two detentions cause Ms. Gonzalez saw the whole thing. I looked at my schedule again and tried to figure out where my next class is. I looked around and tried to find Room 234. Walking up the stairs to the second floor, I accidentally bumped into someone making her drop her binder. "Sorry," I mumbled as I picked up my stuff. "No, I'm sorry. I was walking to fast trying to get to class before I get there late. My teacher's going to kill me if I'm late for the tenth time," explained the pink haired girl, "Hey, you're new here. Cause if you're not, then I would know you. But since you're new, I don't know you. Hi, my name's Mimi Tachikawa! What's yours?" Mimi chirped in a high pitch voice.
"My name is Sora Takenouchi, and yes, I am new here. Just moved here in Odaiba yesterday," I said, "Well, I have to go and find my classroom."
"Maybe I can help you? What room are you going to?"
"Room 234."
"Hey!" Mimi screamed happily in her pitched voice that made me cringe, "That's where I'm going. Come on I'll show you where it is." I followed the girl and was led to a classroom with the number 234 on the door. We entered the room and I started to became uneasy again as eyes were set on me. "Hey, Mr. Komichia (just made up any name), this is the new student, Sora Takenouchi." Mimi said to the teacher. Mr. Komichia looked at me and just pointed to the seat next to where Mimi was sitting. I walked over to my new seat and opened my binder ready for this class. The desks were grouped together in fours, and I could see everyone in my group. Mimi was right next to me, and the guy next to her was kinda cute looking if you like that nerdy look. I mean just looking at the guy you can tell he's a nerd, but I couldn't help but notice he was really cute. He had short reddish, more like maroon hair with dark brown eyes (A/N: I'm not sure what color eyes he has) and his arm was resting on a white and yellow laptop. And then next to him was a dirty blonde hair girl with greenish looking eyes. She noticed that I was staring at her, and smiled. I smiled back, and looked away before I seemed weird. After ten minutes of notes, we had to work with our partners on a math worksheet. The laptop guy seemed to just want to work on the paper by himself, so it was just me, Mimi, and the other girl working together. "Oh don't mind him. He's feels like he's too smart for us, so he just chooses to work by himself," the girl in front of me explained, "My name's Maria, and I know your Sora cause I keep on hearing from all the guys that there's a new hot red head in our school. So I just thought that would be you since I have never seen you before, and the fact that you have red hair."
"Yeah, that's me." I said, "Nice to meet you."
"Same here. Okay, let's start working on this before we get too off topic."
I walked with Maria and Mimi to lunch since we all have it together. I have learned that I have six classes with both of them, not counting my honors classes since they "are to stupid for that". I also noticed that the blonde devil was in all of my classes so far, and now he's also in my lunch period, and to make it worse he's also sitting at the same table. "Okay, guys, this is Sora. Sora these are my friends and soon yours too. Ooo, I want to introduce you to everyone!" she screamed excited, "Okay, you know me already. And you know Maria too. So next to her is Daisuke, or Davis as we call him.- I looked at Davis, and I had to say that he's one cutie, but he looks younger than me.- "He's one of our soccer boys, and he's a freshman. And next to Davis is Taichi"- who I must say is another complete cutie, but I could never go out with Tai- "He's another soccer boy, and next to him is his sister Kari and then next to her is T.K, Matt's younger brother and next to him is the most popular and hottest guy in our school, Yamato Ishida, or just Matt."
"Yeah, I know him already." I mumbled.
"Yeah, I met this girl already. She's the one I told you about Tai, the bitch that gave me TWO detentions." I grinned, and saw that Tai looked at me and started to crack up. "Sora… gave you a detention?"
"Yeah, she gave me two. And there's nothing funny about it."
"Yeah, there is," Tai said as he continued to laugh. I had a pretty good lunch, you know except for the fact that I tried to ignore Matt flinging his nasty food at me. I totally got mad when he landed a huge chunk of meatball on my jeans when I stood up to throw out my garbage and left a big red stain on my butt. I was so embarrassed, but Tai was kind enough to lend me his huge hoodie that ended about an inch or two above my knees. I thanked him, and left with Mimi to science with Tai and the devil following us behind. I entered the room and sat next to Mimi again and Tai, hey I'm not complaining, but I am complaining that I have to sit with Matt too since it was a big table that can sit four people. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I looked to see whom it was. It turned out to be Mr. Nye, the Science teacher. "Miss Takenouchi, can you take off your sunglasses. It is against school policy to be wearing them during school hours." I just blankly stared at him, and then I slowly took them off. I let my hair fall over my face and started to do my work. When I heard Mimi call me, I quickly turned around but I regretted it. Cause now everyone was looking at me, I looked forward again to ignore the stares but my thoughts were interrupted when I heard a loud thump that sounded like someone falling with their chair. I turned around again to see Matt on the floor, and I started to hear people laughing out loud.
I looked at the girl as she took off her sunglasses. 'She was wearing that the whole day.' I kept on watching her as she let her hair fall on her face. I listened to the teacher explain what they're doing next and grabbed the packet to start on the group assignment. "Sora?" I heard Mimi call the girl. "Sora?" I heard Mimi call the girl again. Now, Sora finally heard her and slowly looked at them. My eyes widen when I saw what the girl was hiding underneath her sunglasses. Right on the corner of her eye was a small blue and silver tattoo of a butterfly. Next thing I knew I was sitting on the floor as I heard his classmates laughing. I got up slowly with a sheepish smile on my face trying not to be too embarrassed. I sat back down with just a few people still looking at me, so I just ignored them. It's not like I fall down off of chairs often. It was that new girl's fault. It wasn't just her ruby red eyes that got to me; it was that butterfly tattoo that did it. And I knew that everyone else was surprised by it because no one was looking at Me anymore, but they were now looking Sora, who just glared at me and now was just trying to not pay attention by doing the assignment with Sora while Tai did nothing. I ran my fingers through my blonde hair, and started the work too.
I watched Matt get up, and glared at him still chuckling a bit. I turned to Mimi to help her with the work that we had to do since Tai here looked to bored and lazy to do anything and Blondie was now too busy thinking. "Hey, Mimi, you want to come over my house or something?" I whispered to the girl next to me so we won't get in trouble.
"Sure," she nodded, "But I need a ride. Daddy took my car cause I got into my second car accident in a week."
"Yeah, but I'm going to try-out for tennis and soccer. So you'll have to wait for me after school."
"Doesn't matter to me, I have cheerleading today anyways."
I entered the girls' locker room even though I couldn't change because I didn't have gym clothes with me, but I was excused. I walked with Mimi outside where they were going to play soccer. I sat down on the cold metal bleachers, and watched the coach explain what they were doing. "Okay, this is going to be optional. You don't have to play soccer if you don't want to since it's a Friday which means it's a free day. What we're going to do is have the people who are not playing watch from the bleachers while the people who are playing go into two teams. So if you're not playing, go ahead and go sit at the bleachers. The majority of the class sat down and the bleachers were full. Probably only 20 people were left including Maria, Tai, and Matt, but Mimi sat down right next to me. "I hate sports," she said to me as she sat down. They separated into two teams and started to play with Tai's team against Maria's team with Tai's team having the ball. I watched as Tai easily kick the ball through the field without anyone's help and he scored one point.
It was a very not interesting game cause we all knew that Tai's team was going to win. Of course, Maria's team had no chance when Tai alone ruled the field scoring already ten points after five minutes. Tai was an expert on the field. When the whistle blew, everyone started to walk inside to get dressed then to go home. Mimi let me borrow some of her clothes and I put them on and I was uncomfortable so quick. I was wearing tight short shorts with Cheer on the butt and a really really really tight black t-shirt. "Hey, do you mind if Tai and Matt comes with us. You know, just for fun? They're both staying after too since Tai has soccer practice and Matt's always at the music room practicing with his band" she asked me as I putting on the t-shirt, "Oh my gosh, you should hear Matt's band. Have you ever heard them in Kyoto? Cause their really good. I have a copy of their album in my locker, you know being one of Matt's good friends is a good thing."
"I don't mind Tai coming, but I do mind if Matt comes." I muffled through the shirt.
"Oh, he's not always like what he was in the cafeteria. He's a pretty cool person once you get to know him."
"It's not that, it's just the fact…"
"Nonsense, I'll invite them. So I'll see ya." Mimi waved good-bye and left leaving me wide-eyed. I swear that girl is seriously unique, but I ignored it and started to walk to the gym to meet up with the Soccer coach. When I saw her I called to her, "Excuse me?" I said trying to get her attention. When she heard me she turned around and smiled, "Hello, what brings you here?"
"I was thinking of joining the school's tennis team."
"Well, I don't find that possible. You see, you're kinda late because we only take people who tried out at the beginning of the year and who deserve to be in our team. And since it's February, it seems you can't join."
My smile faded, "Can't I just try out like right now?"
"We already have enough people in our team," the tennis coach explained, but I bet she saw my puppy eyes, that no one could ever resist cause she continued, "But here's the thing, if you show me that you're good enough at our next practice I'll let you in the team."
I smiled, "Oh my gosh! Thank you, and I promise you that I won't disappoint you. So when's the next practice?"
"Monday after school at the tennis courts, don't miss it!"
"Oh my gosh, I won't! I'll see you there," I said as I started to leave, "Can you tell me where the soccer team is?"
"Right now, they're practicing in the soccer fields which is right behind here. You could go through these doors," the tennis coach said as she pointed to the back doors.
"Thanks you so much!" I yelled happily as I strolled to the soccer fields to find the team running around the field. I opened the metal fence, and walked to the guy that seemed to be the coach. He stared at me as I was walking towards me, and I started to feel queasy again. "Can I help you?" he asked.
""My name's Sora, and I want to join the team." I told him.
"Well, first you have to try out which you can do right now. But I must tell you that a girl has never joined our team," the coach warned
"Now you will! So I can try out right now?"
"Yeah, first you have to go against someone from the team, and I think you'll go against Taichi," he said as he called the bushy haired boy over.
"What's up, Coach? And what's she doing here?" Tai asked rudely when he saw me standing by the coach.
"She wans to join the soccer team, and she's trying out. I want you to go against her in a friendly game to see if she's good enough to join," the coach explained.
"A girl? There's no way a girl's joining our team. That's going to kill our chance for championship's"
"If she beats you at a game, then she's good enough," said the coach as he whistled bringing the team back, "Alright, all of you sit down while we watch Tai and Sora play a game. Dai and Michael are both going to be goalies. First one to get 2 points will be the winner." Taichi walked to the middle of the court getting ready for the match while I was about to join him until she felt someone grab her arm. "Don't worry, Tai's not always like that. He's really a sweet guy, but when it comes to soccer, he'll be the most serious as he can get," Coach said to her.
"I know…" I said back as she walked to the court.
Sora stared back at Tai with a sparkle in her eyes. When she heard the whistle, she immediately kicked the ball, but Tai got to it first. She ran over to where he was and was now right behind him. She kicked the ball out of his control and kicked the white and black ball towards his goal to Daisuke, who was ready to block the ball from going into the goal. But before she got two feet to the goal, she felt the ball get kicked away. She turned around, and saw that Tai now has the ball and was laughing at her. She got a little bit angry, and ran as fast as she could to the boy. It was too late, and Tai already had one point. They both stood at the middle of the field, and when the whistle blew, Sora kicked the ball into her control. She dribbled it for ten feet, and then kicked it as fast as she could to his goal and she scored easily. This is it she thought as she waited for Coach to blow the whistle, so she can score the last point and join the team. But she knew it wasn't that easy since Tai was a great player and a hard opponent to beat, but she had to beat him to join the team. Sora and Tai both heard the whistle, and kicked the ball that rolled to left. They ran to it, but for a minute the ball didn't go anywhere since both kicked it out of the other's control while the other would kick it again. This kept on going until Tai kicked it was hard as could, letting the ball roll to Sora's goal. Sora groaned while she ran as quickly as she can to Tai. Knowing that the red head beauty was very close to him and was about to kick the ball out of his control, but he wouldn't let that happen. He was going to do his special move that would confuse the hell out of anyone. He stopped immediately with the soccer ball under his foot. He watched Sora keep running then stop when she finally realize that he stopped. This was his cue to run again right pass her.
Sora ran pass her opponent and she stopped immediately. She turned around and saw that he was grinning at her. Before her mind processed, he was running again to her goal ready to score the last and important goal. She watched him run in zigzags and spin in circles, but she knew exactly what he was doing and was always a step behind him. But at the final second, she was a step ahead of him.
'She knows what I'm doing exactly' Tai grumbled in anger. 'But I'm going to win this no matter what.' He kicked his leg behind him ready to kick the ball into the goal, but before he could even touch the ball, Sora kicked it towards his goal. He cursed silently and ran towards her. 'I'm not going to loose!' he said to himself. When he was right next to her, he kicked that ball and let it stay right under his foot. It was too quick for his opponent to realize, so she tripped with a loud thump. He ignored it, and ran to her goal and scored. He threw his hand in triumph and let his teammates pick him up chanting his name. When his eyes met Sora's figure, he felt sorry. She was still at the same exact spot where she tripped at the same position. He then noticed that she was kneeling on her right knee, and he squirmed out of the guy's grasp. He ran to where she was, "Sorry," he apologized. He got no response, "Sorry," he repeated. But when she didn't say anything again, he got frustrated, "Damn it, Sora, I said that I was sorry."
"That was low, Tai, lower than anything else you did," he heard her whisper barely that he had to lower his head to listen, "You should say you're sorry."
"I did!" he moaned when he heard her giggle. She sat up, and smiled at him.
"I didn't know you wanted to win that bad, and not let me join. That's mean, Tai!" she laughed as she threw her arms around his neck.
"Whatever you say, Sora, whatever you say." Tai said as he picked her up and carried her through the field.
"Tai!" Sora shrieked in surprise, "Put me down!" Tai ignored her, but put her down when they got to where Coach was and the guys. She picked up her stuff, and started to leave until someone calling her name stopped her.
"Miss Sora, I would be honored to be the one to say that you're in the team," Coach exclaimed, completely ignoring the looks that the team was giving him.
Sora looked at him shocked, "But I lost the game."
"Yes, you did, but you showed that you are a very good player. A player that must be on our team if we want to win the championship's." Coach explained.
"Coach, that isn't fair!" some of the team whined.
"I'm cool with it." Everyone turned around to stare at Tai, who just sat on the bleachers drinking water. "But you're that one who's been all against it, and now you're saying that you don't care if she's in?" Dai yelled.
"Pretty much," he plainly said, getting up and picked up all of his stuff, "I think practice is over. I'll see you guys tomorrow, and you too, Sora, welcome to the team." He said, staring at her the whole time. The whole team watched him walk, and then looked at her. Sora felt herself become uneasy again and the coach noticed, "So, tomorrow we have another practice and we have a game on Friday. The practice is at five, and the game is at seven, don't miss anything. See you there!" And he left. Sora watched as the whole team left slowly, and she just stood there until she threw her hands up and jumped in the air. "YES!" she screamed into the air.
I happily skipped to my locker with Tai walking behind me. "Congrats" he said as I opened my locker.
"Thank you very much. I enjoyed the match. You're getting better and better from the last time that I went against you."
"Yup, soon I'll be the bestest and there's going to be no way anyone's going to beat me."
"Sure… just don't get your already huge ego any bigger." I said as I walked to the front door where I was suppose to meet everyone.
"SSSSSooooorrrrraaaaa….!" Tai whined as he ran to catch up with me.
A/N: Alright, that's chapter one. As you can see… I put the last chapter one and some of chapter two together in this one so I can make it bigger and change chapter two and three. I promise to put chapter two and three up by the end of the week and get the new chapter by next week. PROMISE!
Review Please!
Love always,
