Chapter 3: Brain Food

The alarm clock buzzed at ten o'clock. Sam, who is more of a morning person than Tai, goes and shuts it off. Tai simply groans and sits up in bed.

"Ugh Sam we still have an hour before we need to be at class! Why are you up?" Tai complained. Sam simply laughed and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Well Tai I need to get a shower and some caffeine in my system before I can even go to class. If you wanna sleep more you're gonna have to wake yourself up because I'm going to get a shower." Sam said cooly. Tai groaned again.

"Ugh fine I'll get up!" Tai said and got out of bed. Sam seemed delighted at this and ran over to Tai with a ten dollar bill.

"Good then could you grab some breakfast somewhere? We forgot to stock the mini fridge." Sam said happily and handed Tai the money. Tai shrugged again and got dressed. He looked over to Sam who seemed to be waiting for him to leave to get a shower. What an odd kid. It's not like I haven't seen a guy's privates before, hell I have my own! I don't know why he wants me out of the room in order to shower, Tai thought to himself as he walked out the door. As he was walking to the QuickMart he noticed on the walk to school, Tai began to reminisce about the past and his time with digimon in the Digiworld and all of his friends.

Matt and Izzy are here, but Joe, Mimi, and Sora aren't. He also missed T.K. and of course Kari, but they're still in high school. Sora was the one who lingered in his thoughts and he sighed. He really missed her. Sora and her perfect smile and the way she walked. Tai smiled to himself, really missing his favorite girl. He missed her dull red hair, how it was down a little past her ears, how her bright brown eyes looked at him, how she always wore a hat... Tai stopped dead in his tracks. Now it all clicked in his head. The defensiveness over the hat, the hair, the personal information, the shower privacy... It had to be her! Tai was so confused still. How did she manage to get into an all boys university? And how long will she keep this up? Tai paid for the breakfast sandwiches and ran back to the dorm. With his hands shaking from anticipation, he jiggled the key in the lock and the door opened. "Sam" was combing through his hair and was fully dressed by the time Tai got back.

"Oh hey you're back! Did you get food?" He asked. Tai gave a sly smile.

"Of course I did, Sora."
