If I can I think I might try to update once a week either around Tuesday or maybe Friday, I don't know but I think at least once a week since the stories rolling in my head. I was tempted to post this tomorrow since today's my birthday but I decided to update today. So I hope you enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter Sixteen: The Other Group

(Davis's P.O.V)

I sat at the lunch table listening to them; it was kind of odd now of days. I glanced at the current 'group'. It was odd without Kari, I mean after hiding such a thing from us I could kind of understand why they felt betrayed but I don't understand how they can act like she never existed.

"Davis, what are you thinking about?" I was snapped out of my musings when Cody spoke, yet from the looks I had to wonder if they had tried to get my attention for a while.

"Yeah, you usually don't think." I glared at Yolei.

"Hey I do think!" Yolei was the one who confused me the most, besides T.K.

I mean Yolei claimed to be Kari's best friend, said she would help Kari the best she can. Why would she just walk away when Kari could probably use the most help she can get? T.K. had been her boyfriend, as much as it annoyed me, it didn't seem like they fought or anything. I don't get why T.K. was seriously just pretending she never existed! I don't get why he won't even talk to Matt anymore, it's as if there is some kind of wall there between them. My head hurts, it's confusing!

"You're thinking about Kari again, aren't you Davis?" I was surprised that T.K. even spoke her name, he seemed upset and he sighed.

"Kind of, I don't understand why you guys are so upset about what happened." Cody seemed slightly surprised at my response, Yolei gave me an annoyed look, while T.K. just looked out the window to the world that once again was covered with dark clouds and rain.

"She lied to us Davis, we trusted her and she lied to us. We don't know what else she's lied to us about." She lied but she probably didn't want us to worry, that was her reason, she never wanted anyone to worry about her.

"You heard what Tai said, she probably just didn't want to worry us. Not to mention she probably just didn't want to remember that stuff." I really didn't get why it was such a problem.

She went through a lot of stuff when she was younger didn't she? I mean who would want to remember that stuff? I saw some of the stuff that happened to her, I tried to get people to stop but they never did. Some would give me odd looks, as if I was crazy or something. I never understood why though.

"Why aren't you mad at her? She betrayed our trust Davis!" Yolei glared at me, she seemed angrier at me than she had ever been for some reason.

"I knew about some of the stuff that happened to her, I saw some of it happen actually." That managed to get T.K.'s attention; he hasn't paid much attention since Kari left for some reason.

"You saw her get bullied? You never tried to stop it?" T.K. finally seemed back to himself, he's been off since she left, even if he was mad I was glad that T.K. was finally back to showing some kind of emotion!

"Welcome back, you're not emotionless now T.J.!" I saw his lip twitch, as if he wanted to smile, before he narrowed his eyes.

"I know you do that on purpose now Davis! You've called me T.K. since Kari left and now you're back to that!" I smiled, yelp this was the T.K. I knew!

"I did?" I smiled more when the tension was gone and they all laughed.

"You didn't realize you were calling him by his name?!" Yolei was laughing so hard, I was glad that they seemed back to normal.

The bell rang seconds later so we left the lunch room, after dumping our trays, and heading our separate ways to our class. Cody had special permission to eat lunch with us once a week, saying he was getting us to help him study while in truth we were only hanging out. I groaned when I remembered that we had history, of all classes, right after lunch. When I entered the class I took my seat and I already felt like dozing. It wasn't long before history bored me to sleep and I dreamt of my own history, to the days of elementary school where I had spoken to Kari for the first time.

~Davis's Dream~

I hid behind the corner and I watched her. I smiled watching her, she was really nice. I don't understand why everyone was so mean to her. I don't understand why so many people teased her. Something was different about her, I don't know why but she was didn't seem like the other kids.

"Well if it ain't the girl who's always sick." I narrowed my eyes when I spied the two who were always messing with her.

They were jerks. One of them had hair like mine, in truth he looked a lot like me. I don't know why we look almost exactly alike but we act completely different. He cold and uncaring, he teased people whenever he could. The other was really stuck up and he kinda looked like a cry baby in the same grade as me. He wasn't anything like the crybaby though.

"W-what do you two want now?" I noticed that seemed scared.

"Well we were wondering if you would ever just leave." I really hated the kid that looked like me, I didn't know his name but I hated him!

"Yeah it's not like anyone wants you here, after all who knows if you'll get anyone else sick." The blonde one, the one who looked like the cry baby, laughed slightly.

"That would be terrible; it could kill somebody if you gave that nasty sickness to someone." I stepped out from behind the corner, I had to do something!

"Just l-leave me alone!" She had already been messed with them today more than I could count.

No one has seen it but she cries when no one is around; well when she thinks no one is around. I've seen her cry a few times and I hated it when people cried. She was nice once you got to know her even if she seemed cold; it's probably because of them. She's probably scared everyone would treat her like them.

"We probably should after all we've been around you too much today." The boy who looked like me snickered as he said that.

"Yeah we wouldn't want to get sick now would we?" That they left, laughing and I felt like punching them for some reason.

She had stayed after school, probably waiting for her brother to be done with soccer. Tai wouldn't be coming for a while. I had to do something, I couldn't just let her sit there and cry could I? No I can't. I walked over to her, she had slid down the wall and curled into a ball, she was crying again.

"Hey, don't cry." She jumped and she looked at me.

"D-Daisuke…" Her eyes were wide with fear; her usual brownish red eyes seemed just red for some reason.

"Yeah?" She gulped and she seemed to be waiting for something.

I stood there waiting for her to continue. I mean she seemed like she was going to say something so I was waiting. I was confused as to how she knew my name; I mean we weren't in the same class. I've seen her around Tai so I had tried to figure out who she was and I figured out that she was his sister a little while ago.

"Y-you're not gonna say anything?" I titled my head.

"Huh? Why would I say something? I was just seeing if you were ok." I saw she was confused, I could tell how people felt usually for some reason.

"Y-you always tease me so you aren't gonna say anything?" I felt hurt when she said that.

"I don't tease you; we've never spoken before actually." Was the boy, who looked like me, was his name also Daisuke?

"B-but you were just here!" I shook my head.

"I wasn't I don't know who the two were who were messing with you." She shut her mouth and after a few moments I just sat beside her.

"I don't know about anyone else but I'll be your friend." She seemed lonely, I don't know why I said it but I really would be her friend.

"R-really?" I nodded my head and smiled, there something about her that seemed to drawl me in.

"Yeah of course." I saw it for the first time, she smiled.

~End Dream~

"Daisuke!" I jumped and I realized that my teacher stood at the front of the class glaring at me slightly.

"Y-yes sir?" He didn't seem very happy.

"Since you can doze off then you can answer my question." I sighed, great just great.

As he repeated his question my mind wondered slightly. Why did I dream of the day I first met Kari? Why would I remember that day? I mean even if Kari was my first friend I haven't dreamed of that day for so long, it hasn't been that vivid in many years. That memory had faded away but why was it so vivid.

"So what's the answer Daisuke?" I wanted to narrow my eyes when he called me Daisuke once again.

"Kyoto." The fact that I said it, none the less seemed confident in my answer, surprised many of my classmates along with the teacher.

I may hate history but I knew history. That's why I found it boring. When I first made friends with Kari I learned that those two kids left her alone when she was in the library, which was where we hung out. We talked and spent many days after school there. I had helped her study the things she missed, everyone thought I was stupid and I let people believe that. Only Kari knew that I was actually rather smart, only she knew that about me.

"Interesting, very well Daisuke." I did narrow my eyes.

I hated being called that stupid name! I hated being called Daisuke. I hated it since the day I finally found out that I shared that name with that kid who teased Kari so badly. I've hated my name since then, I lived with being called that until the summer after the third grade. Kari had stopped going by Hikari by then and she called me Davis, for the first time. It was her nickname for me but I quickly took that as the name that I wanted everyone to call me. Since that day I was Davis Motomiya, I wasn't Daisuke Motomiya anymore.

"Anyways I would like you guys to complete the handout from yesterday as homework." He rambled on more but I didn't pay attention.

I crossed my arms and watched out the window. That day played over in my mind and I wondered about something else that only dawned on me. Kari had told me about the other boy who messed with her. His name was Takeru, just like T.K. Was T.K. the other kid who teased her? Nah he was a cry baby back then not to mention that they were friends, I highly doubted that Kari would've become friends with that jerk. The rest of the day was spent with me pretty spaced out, only time I focused was when I had a test in science which was the last class of the day.

"Davis!" I stopped walking; I had planned on going to talk to Tai.

I stayed away from Tai for a while because I knew he read her dairy. If he read it then he knew about the boys, who teased her, I wasn't sure if he would believe that I wasn't the Daisuke that teased her. Even if Kari did I didn't know if Tai would. I was scared that if I was around him after that day if I would lose any of my friends. It was hard to make friends since people just don't seem to like me for some reason. Maybe it was because of the other Daisuke, because of the Daisuke that had messed with Kari.
