Chapter Two: I DO NOT LIKE T.K… seriously!
"T.K?" I felt my ears burning.
"Hey Kari."
"I was…er, just about to call you…" I said awkwardly. Why the heck are you calling me anyway?
"Really? Why?"
"… I'm sorry… that I yelled at you…" I said sheepishly.
"That's okay."
But why are you calling me? That's what I wanna know! "Why are you calling me?"
"I just wanna know…"
"What?"
"Are you sure you didn't want to go out with me?"
"YOU JERK!" I slammed the phone down. What a jerk.
Jerk, jerk, jerk. Serves me right for trying to apologize to Matt Ishida's brother.
"I can't believe I actually… think he's cute," I muttered to myself.
I was about to tear up that jerk's phone number when I remembered that I had to return it to Tai. I can't believe he's Matt's best friend.
Ring RRRRIIIINNNNGGGGG!
That blasted phone. Don't let it be T.K again, I prayed.
I was going to just let it ring, but decided against it, what if it was Yolie?
"Hello? Kari?"
"Davis?" Oh shit. "Why the heck are you calling?"
"I just wanna say hi."
"Hi." I said sullenly.
"Wanna come over and play Xbox?"
"Er… not now, maybe later?"
"Okay. Seeya."
"Seeya." I hung up.
Boys.
"Yolie, boys are stupid." I said, "I can't believe I actually thought T.K was cool."
I could hear Sora and Mimi snickering.
"Are you actually gonna get married someday? I think you'd take control of the whole household." Mimi giggled.
Ha. As if! Are you mad? "Hell no."
"I would," Mimi said, "If there are decent guys out there."
"There aren't." I said.
"I think your brother's a decent guy," Sora said defensively.
"Well DER! He's been your best friend for his whole life."
"It wasn't that easy. And it wasn't like I played hard to get. I guess it's just really difficult to tell someone those things."
"What things?" I asked suspiciously. "Are you trying to hint something?"
"No…" she blushed.
"You've always been T.K's good friend though." Yolie said, "You guys were great with the digimon."
"Yeah, but… we grow up I guess." I said.
"Look, there's Tai and Matt!" said Sora. And they got up to say hi.
Suddenly I saw T.K standing next to me with a devilish look in his eyes. "WHAT?" I cried.
"Nothing." Crap, that…
I could hear him trying not to laugh.
"What? What did he do? Yolie, what?" I cried.
Yolie was laughing crazily.
"WHAT?" I screamed.
Then the bell rang. Just before I went to class and had to find T.K and give him a good whack on the head.
I never did find out what they were laughing about.
"So, T.K… it didn't go too well, did it?" grinned Davis.
T.K glared at him. "Yeah, well did she let you take her out?"
"I didn't even ask her out." Davis grinned harder.
"THEN WHY ARE YOU SMILING LIKE THAT?"
"Nothing…"
"Do you always smile crazily when nothing happened?"
"Yeah."
T.K reached over to hit Davis, but he ducked, laughing harder.
"Then I guess you didn't get along too well with Kari, eh?"
"I know, she was so flaming mad at me-" Wait a second. I shouldn't be telling him that. T.K bristled and stopped. "I think we're getting along great." He smiled devilishly.
"Yeah right."
T.K stood up and said, "Well I'm going to her house right now. I wonder who's gonna win the bet now?"
Davis laughed. "She probably won't even let you in the door."
"And she lets you in?"
"Yeah!"
"AS if." T.K grumbled and headed out.
"TAKERU ISHIDA! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
T.K was standing at the stoop, grinning nonstop. Oh, I hate it when he smiles like that. I felt my legs turn to jelly.
"Can I come in?" he asked politely.
"Okay…" I let him in.
I think I must've been overwhelmed by things. I mean hello? What am I doing inviting T.K in?
He came in and took off his shoes. I collapsed in a nearby armchair. "Okay, Ishida, what are you doing here?"
"Why do you ask? Aren't I welcome here?"
Oh crap. STOP SMILING AT ME!
"I'm your friend, Kari. What's wrong with visiting?"
He came over and bent over so that we were eye-level. I looked away. "You're a jerk," I said.
His face fell. "Aw, c'mon… I'm not that bad."
"Yeah, well remember that time you stole my locker key? And when you pushed me into the pool? And when you-"
T.K's face was falling faster and faster. "Wait, I didn't mean that!"
"Ha-ha… and you and Davis were there, laughing like crazy." I retorted.
"Yeah but…"
"You're a jerk," I flamed.
"Yeah, but…"
"You're a jerk. And you think you're so cool and everything, just cuz that damned brother of yours is that stupid Matt Ishida and-"
"Hey!"
"I just really hate people like you-"
He leaned over and pressed his lips to mine.
OH…
He broke it off. I stared at him, awestruck.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR, TAKERU? WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" I screamed. "That was my… first kiss…"
"Sorry." he said with a half-smirk.
"WHAT? HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT WHEN YOU JUST STOLE MY FIRST KISS?" I shrieked.
"I said I'm sorry." he said, still smirking.
Oh, I hate it when he smiles like that.
I was about to push him out the door. Luckily, I didn't need to. He got up and went out the door himself. "Seeya around." he said, smiling.
"Humph."
Oh, where was Sora? I really needed to talk to her.
Sora was looking at a book when I barged into her place. When she saw me, she slammed the book shut, threw it on the floor, and pretended to be doing her homework.
"Sora," I sighed, "I saw you looking at that."
"Yeah, I know…" she replied, reaching to get it.
I went and took it before she could. "Hey! Don't look at that!"
Well, I'm curious. What could I do?
I opened the book. "Oh my…" I said.
The book was a photo album. There were snapshots of the first digidestined with their digimon, later in the book, were snapshots of Sora, Joe, Izzy, Matt, Tai, and Mimi… basically everybody in the first digidestined. They were laughing and enjoying life. There were photos from Mimi's pool party and Tai's soccer tournament and Matt's concert, everything! Then I saw the photos at the end. Every single one of them were of my brother!
"What the heck is all this?" I asked finally.
Sora gave me a sheepish sort of look. "Memories."
I studied the date on the photos of Tai. "Hey! These photos are from when you were still Matt's boyfriend! What on Earth?"
"Well, um… I did kind of, um have um, a crush on him…" she said quietly.
Then my blood froze. There were pictures of Sora with Tai. Sora and Tai at the pool party; Tai was standing behind her with his arms around her…
"Hey, give that back!" She finally grabbed the book out of my hands. She hugged it to herself.
She must really like Tai… "So why did you come over here anyway?" she interrupted my thoughts.
"Um…" I started. "I… I got my first kiss!"
"Oh?" she didn't look too surprised. "Who was it?"
"T.K."
I thought her eyes were gonna pop out of her head.
Emichii: YAY! That's the second chapter! Hurray! I guess reading this really gives a focus on Sora's part from I'm still Hopeful. Oh, and if you're reading this and you haven't read the one before this, then you should read I'm still Hopeful. It's the story of how Tai and Sora came together. I might refer to it a few times so yeah…
Well? Did you like it? I do. I think that my fanfic is improving a lot. It's getting better and better.
Is it up to Neominitail's standard yet? Oh, I have to finish his fanfic for him. It's called A Terrible Mess. I hope that it's ok. And if you're confused, ever fanfic I write besides A Terrible Mess; is mine. Completely, totally and utterly mine. I own 'em all. But I don't own One Piece or Pokemon or Digimon!
Everybody don't forget to review!
