Chapter One
Matt was in his room practicing the chords on his guitar when the doorbell went. Matt placed his guitar on its rack and walked towards the door. Matt lived with his dad, his mom and dad had split when he was young, he has a younger brother who lives with his mom on the other side of the city, they visited each other as often as they could, and when they did they had a ball.
Matt opened the door, to see Tai standing at the door.
Tai had been Matt's best friend since before they could remember, they shared everything.
"Hey Matt, you ready for our study session?"
Matt stood at the door shocked, he moved out of the way and let Tai in.
"I can't believe you actually remembered? In fact I can't believe you out of bed at this hour, its only 9.10am!"
Tai looked at Matt.
"Yes well, I thought I would make an effort, just for you Matty boy!"
"I am flattered."
Matt and Tai didn't actually get much studying done that day, in fact they didn't even look at their text books once. They were too busy watching the soccer on the tele.
Matt looked at the clock, he realised that they had wasted a whole day of revising doing nothing.
"Oh man, have you seen the time! I have to get this placed cleaned up before T.K gets here!"
Tai looked at the wall clock and gasped.
"Oh man if I don't move now I am going to be late for my date!"
Tai grabbed all of his stuff and bolted for the door.
Matt stood up just as fast.
"Wait a minute you ain't going nowhere until you tell me who this hot date is with?"
Tai looked at the floor and mumbled something. Matt couldn't quite make it out.
"Can you repeat that Tai, my hearing isn't that good!"
"My date is with Sora."
Matt stood gobsmacked in the middle of the hallway. He couldn't believe it, Sora of all people did it have to be her.
"Good for you mate she is quite a catch, anyway you don't want to keep her waiting, that's all I will hear about in biology for weeks!"
Tai looked at Matt.
"Matt are you ok with this I know I should have asked you first but it kind of just happened, you hadn't made your move and well!"
"Course I am mate, just go, you will be late, see you tomorrow!"
With that Matt waved at Tai while he watched him walk down towards the elevator. Matt closed the apartment door and slunk to the sofa. He threw himself on it, still in disbelief about what had just happened. The truth is Matt wasn't ok, he had been trying to work up the courage to ask Sora out for months, and now she was seeing Tai, he couldn't believe it!
While Matt was sulking the doorbell rang again. He got up and opened it not even looking to see who it was and walked away, hinting for the person at the door to shut it behind them.
"What's up with you Matt?"
Matt looked up.
"What do you reckon T.K?"
"Oh, she said no?" T.K
Matt looked at T.K again.
"Nope, didn't even ask her, and I ain't gunna!"
T.K looked at Matt, this is something Matt hadn't stopped talking to him about for months and now he was giving up, something had to have happened.
"Hold on a minute Matt what do you mean you aint gunna?"
Matt stood up and walked to the kitchen, went to the fridge and picked up 2 cans of soda, and chucked 1 to T.K who was now sat on the sofa with his feet up.
"She's with Tai."
T.K was stunned, don't get him wrong he loved Tai, the fact that he was his girlfriends brother had nothing to do with it, he had always admired him.
"What are you gunna do now then?"
Matt was in his usual position on the sofa.
"Move on."
