Emichii: HEY EVERYBODY! How do you like my fanfic! I hope you like it. R&R!
Chapter six: I'm sorry
"You really bummed my sis out yesterday," Tai said matter-of-factly when T.K barged into his room.
"Yeah I know…" he said slowly.
Tai swiveled his wheelie chair around to face him and detected a spark of guilt in T.K's eye. "Well?"
T.K looked at Tai challengingly.
Tai drummed his fingers on his desk and waited.
"Okay, what did you do?" he asked.
"I didn't do anything."
"Yeah right." Tai sighed. "When she came home from that 'date' with you, she went into her room and wouldn't come out until dinner. I think she was crying."
There was a knock at the door. "What do you want?" I asked wearily from my bed.
Sora opened the door and sat down next to me.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"Tai told me you were crying after you went out with T.K. What exactly happened?"
"Hmpff… why does Tai tell you everything anyway?"
Sora said, "Cuz he's my boyfriend and my best friend. And because you're my friend."
I didn't want to talk.
Yesterday, after I ran away from T.K and went straight back to my room and locked myself in. And I didn't cry. I didn't! But I guess I was making a lot of sniffling noises and my eyes were getting all teary and… I wasn't crying! Seriously.
"I'm waiting…" she said.
"Nothing happened." I said stiffly.
"Did he attack you? How dare he!" She jumped up and started swearing at the ceiling. "When I see that bastard I'm gonna strangle him!"
"Wait! Wait!" I jumped up and pulled Sora back into a sitting position. "Calm down! He didn't!" Then I added for good measure, "I couldn't imagine him doing anything like that anyway."
Sora grinned. "Actually I can't imagine him doing that either. I was just being dramatic… I wish something exciting would happen."
I frowned. "That would be exciting! You're so-"
Sora laughed. "Nah. Forget it. I didn't say anything, okay."
Phew. I sighed with relief.
"Well I made you smile." she said brightly. "Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
…
…
…
…
"Well fine I'll tell you!" I gave up. And I told her.
"I was just so… jealous? I don't know! I don't wanna know because then that would mean that I like that guy and I don't! ARGHHH!"
"You're pretty desperate to hate T.K. Why do you want to hate him? And I know you don't."
"Um…"
Next day!
I walked through the hallways of Odaiba High. Then I saw… T.K?
And he was without his crowd which was pretty odd but it's been happening quite often these days. Obviously I tried to avoid him but I think he wanted to talk to me.
I saw him walking toward me, looking like he was nervous.
But that's nonsense.
He must have gone out with every other girl in the grade, why would he be nervous with me? But I was nervous with him.
Breathe, Kari, breathe!
"Hi Kari." he said sounding normal.
And when I mean normal, I mean normal. To me. Like we were still friends in the Digital World. And he hasn't been normal since ages ago.
Because ever since he became popular he's been abnormal. Anyway he shocked me by saying something normally.
"Er, hi…" I said quickly then ran for it. He's making me into jelly. I can't walk properly!
T.K gave a huge sigh then leaned against the wall depressed.
"Well how'd it go?" Davis asked.
"Horrible. And now she's mad at me." T.K said.
"And scared of you."
"What?"
Davis nodded. "I saw… the way she acted when you said hi to her this morning."
T.K grimaced. Oh and you're an expert now?
"Hey, chill dude! She'll fall for you! I guarantee it!"
T.K was shocking himself but he kinda felt reassured by his friend. It wasn't like Davis was a real girl-expert, I mean, girls are so weird… but a friend's encouragement always helps.
"Well what do I do now?"
Davis looked stumped for two seconds.
"Um…"
"Write her a letter!" someone else suggested.
They looked up.
Ken Ichijouji leaned coolly against the wall as if he was posing for a photo. "Girls love that kinda thing."
T.K wondered why Ken was into his business. He was his friend, yeah, but he was always his rival for popularity now that they were back in Odaiba.
Anyway, he nodded thanks to Ken and hurried off.
"Yeah, how's it going?" Ken asked Davis, nodding towards T.K.
"I don't know but not very well I think."
Ken ran his hand through his hair. "They've got to face it sometime. They can't run from it forever."
"Hey guys." Yolie and Mimi leaned against the wall and joined the conversation. Yolie couldn't help staring dreamily at Ken all the time he was talking. And Mimi couldn't help giggling about it.
Both Ken and Davis stared at them. Girls are so weird.
Davis gave them the update. "They just won't accept it. T.K probably still thinks he's doing all that for the bet but he doesn't know how he really feels about her and Kari? Well, she's un-readable. She might actually hate T.K for the rest of his life."
Yolie wrung her hands desperately. "Aw, c'mon guys! Surely one of us knows something! We need to find out!"
Ken blinked. "Well I don't really care actually. Other people's business really bores me…"
Mimi watched Yolie look disappointed because she and Ken didn't have that thing in common.
"… but T.K still was one of us Digidestined and we're all friends." Ken finished.
Mimi sighed. "T.K was so cute when he was in our Digidestined. He loves food, it was so cute!"
They stared at her. "Maybe if we turn T.K back to his old self then Kari might admit how she feels about him."
Davis snickered, "I've been secretly calling T.K's 'different' lives BC and NPC."
"What?"
What the heck is he talking about? Were written all over their faces.
Davis sighed. "Get it? Before Crazy and Now Popularity Crazy. He's like two different people. He's still nice and all that but… I still think he's different…"
Ken kinda nodded.
"I hate to admit it but I guess he is different," Yolie said.
Mimi clapped her hands loudly and they all jumped. "Hey listen!"
They all looked at the older girl.
"Get back on track, okay? So we're tryin to get Kari and T.K together but have we done anything yet?"
Ken shrugged. "I told him to write a letter."
Mimi smiled. "Then we just have to wait for the outcome."
Yolie glanced over at Ken and then saw her watch. "Eek! We're late! We're so gonna be in trouble! We totally missed the bell!"
And they all ran.
Believe me, it was way weird seeing Davis and Ken rush into class late. I wasn't surprised that Davis was late but the fact that Ken was with him. WEIRD!
Ken doesn't exactly, um, get along that well with Davis. But well, everyone's different now and I guess I'm still trying to accept that.
I kind of looked at the door then gazed around the room at all the students until my eyes fell on T.K's. And he was looking back at me! EEK!
But for some reason I couldn't really look away, it was like my eyes were glued to his or something. And I guess he couldn't shift his gaze either.
I saw these girls behind T.K jumping to get his attention and, well, he gave it to them. He turned and gave him that cool smile.
T.K, why did you have to change?
