Disclaimer: (Takes out book of things I own) Nope, no Digimon.
You all remember what happened last chapter, right? Do I really have to do this? Fine, I'll do it anyways…
"Akechi?" Izumi asked in hope.
The boy gave her a look, as if she were crazy. He also raised a brow at her, like she were a retard.
The bigger boy came back, "Yo, Takuya, let's go, man," he said, "gotta finish the dance."
Takuya nodded, giving Izumi one more look like she were crazy, then followed the bigger boy, "Right…coming, Junpei." He said, confused at the girl.
Izumi stood there in shock. After all these years…he came back. But he had a different name…and he didn't remember her…
"Excuse me, miss, you have to sit down." The teacher told her gently. Izumi looked around; everyone else was sitting down and the teacher was about to start. She hated this.
"I'm sorry, sir." Izumi apologized quickly, brushing a golden strand behind her ear with a sunny smile. She made her way back over to Kouji, sitting beside her blue haired friend.
Kouji leaned over to Izumi, "Who was that?" he asked with a slight hint of anger in his voice and in his eyes. She looked at her friend.
Izumi's emerald eyes looked confused as she lightly batted her lashes in utter perplexity, "Kouji, that was the teacher." She said wholly.
The navy-haired boy shook his head and grunted rudely, "Not him, Izu, I know who he is. I meant that guy you were talking to earlier."
Izumi looked forward again as she lightly tapped the end of her pencil to her pencil in a beat, "Well, I thought he was someone I knew before…turns out he's not."
"Did you get his name?" Kouji asked, slightly concerned, leaning over to see her face which was away from him.
"Takuya." Izumi replied softly, like it was something she'd been saying all her life. For some reason, his name left…some kind of intriguing feeling in her mouth. He wasn't Akechi, so was she allowed to fall in love with him?
Hah.
That was stupid. She barely knew him and she already developed a soft spot for him.
She felt like she knew him all her life, possibly because he was so much like Akechi. So did that mean that she only had a fondness of Takuya because he reminded her of Akechi?
That seemed like liking someone for the wrong reasons.
But still…
He could be Akechi; maybe he just didn't want to remember her.
Takuya stared at the blonde girl. Why did she call him Akechi? Was that her way of sneezing or something?
He didn't even get her name. That was probably because he had thought she was crazy at the time.
Well, he was going to get her name, but Junpei had to go and ruin everything.
But Takuya didn't find that big of a reason to get upset. It wasn't like he was flirting with her, almost got her number, then Junpei ruined everything.
Takuya grinned. There, he found the glass full.
If Takuya was known for anything besides his interest in sports, it was his optimism.
Takuya felt something in his stomach tighten when the girl glanced over at him. Crap…what was he supposed to do?
His lips curled into a smirk – a devilish smirk at that.
The emerald-eyed girl merely shook her head at him, then looked back at her paper, writing something down. Then her navy-haired guy friend leaned over to check her work, and nodded with a smile.
What the hell was that supposed to mean?
"Takuya!" the teacher snapped.
The brunet gulped, looking upward at the teacher. "Yes, sir?"
"What's the answer?"
Takuya remained silent. He knew that his teacher would back off if he just stayed quiet.
"Ugh…" his teacher sighed, "fine, someone else?"
Hah. That always worked.
Junpei stared at his friend in wonder. Takuya was smart, everyone knew that. So then…why wasn't he able to answer the question? Did something happen to him? Was he hiding something? Was it the stupid dance they had to do for drama and dance class?
Well, Junpei hated that assignment too, but that didn't mean you had to act stupid.
Was it something about today? The only thing different about today was those two kids in the corner that had been sent there. But that was stupid.
"Dismissed!" the teacher yelled.
Junpei stood up, about to walk over to Takuya but he saw that his brunet friend had gone over to the blonde girl and the navy-haired boy.
He growled. Stupid Takuya…
Izumi sighed, landing her chin in her palm.
Kouji looked over at her. "You're done?" he asked, moving his eyes towards the paper. He frowned, "You didn't finish the definitions…" he said flatly.
Izumi sighed again; there was no point in arguing with Kouji. You'd always lose, "All right, Kouji, I get it." She looked back down at her paper, beginning to write the stupid definitions when she noticed a shadow blocking the light from falling on her paper. She looked up, "T-Takuya?" she stuttered.
Takuya smirked down at her. "See, it's not fair that you know my name and I don't know yours."
The blonde rolled her eyes, huffing out another sigh, "I'm Izumi…Orimoto."
He grinned, "You already know me, but I'm Takuya…Kanbara."
Kouji squinted at Takuya. Now he remembered him! He was always at the soccer games with Kouji.
Takuya then looked at Kouji, "Hey, Kou," he grinned, "no twin today?"
The navy-haired boy glanced up at the brunet, "Kouichi's out sick, remember?"
Said brunet slapped a palm to his forehead, "Oh yeah…I forgot. He was cool."
Kouji raised a brow, "And I'm not?"
"Not at all." Takuya said plainly.
Izumi giggled when she saw the look on Kouji's face; a look of hatred.
Takuya grinned again, "Y'know I'm just kidding, Kou." He jerked a hand in Kouji's hair, messing it up.
Kouji swatted his hand away, then fixed his hair. "Yeah, yeah, Takuya."
Izumi stood up, taking her stuff. "Well, me and Kouji have gotta get going. Bye…Kanbara." She said, walking out the door.
"Ouch." Takuya muttered after her.
Kouji sighed and followed the blonde.
Takuya stood there, staring at the door until Junpei came over, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Rejected…" Junpei said in a joking way, "let's go, buddy."
Takuya sighed; nothing else to do, "Fine, fine…" he said as he and Junpei walked out of the room.
Izumi stormed down the hallways. Suddenly, she leaned against the wall, hoping for support, but got none. She slid down until her knees were upright in front of her. She couldn't believe him!
End of that…
I didn't really feel like writing fan fiction today, but I did it anyways…that's why this chapter is so short and weird. I'm just depressed today…
I really don't like updating if there are so few reviews and so many hits. Feels weird...
Okay, you can review now.
