Chapter Three

Matt's Perspective

I was just heading out of school after having been at my locker, when I saw Sora surrounded by a crowd of angry girls. She looked a little upset.

"Who do you think you are? Have you ever heard of sharing?"

"Why can't you make up your mind and choose only one?"

These girls are being really mean and nasty. I must put a stop to this. I rushed over to them in a huff.

"Back off," I said, sternly.

The girls stopped attacking Sora.

"Step aside."

I noticed some of the girls were from my fan club, which I didn't care about. At least not if they were going to hurt Sora. This must be their motives. They're just jealous of Sora because they would rather I go out with them instead of her.

The girls stepped aside. I went over to Sora and put my arm around her.

"Who do you think you are?" I demanded. "None of you have the right to control anyone's lives but your own. I will date who I want. I choose to date Sora."

One of the girls I vaguely knew, spoke up.

"But she's dating both you and Tai. What's up with that?"

"It's none of your business."

Sora remained silent. I led her outside away from the girls.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked her.

Sora wouldn't meet my eyes. She kept her head down. I could see her slightly trembling. Sora shook her head and began to weep. I pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back. We nudged heads.

"They aren't worth it, Sora. Don't pay any attention to what they say. You can't let other people decide how you will live your life."

"You're right. They don't know what they're talking about. They're just jealous and envious, having a tantrum for not getting their own way."

"That's my girl."

"You're so good to me. Tai, too."

I smiled at her.

Sora's Perspective

I saw Matt smiling at me. He was so handsome and looked so cool. He looked even more handsome and cool at his concerts. Tai and I always went together to see Matt at his concerts and hear him sing. I had all of Matt's CDs as well. It was so good to see Matt come out of his shell since our younger days in the digital world.

Matt and I walked to Tai's apartment. Several of our friends were there: Mimi, TK, Joe, Davis, and Yolei. And of course, Tai and Kari. We had made plans to hang out after school. Izzy couldn't come as he had Chess Club. Cody couldn't come as he had Kendo practice and Ken lived too far away.

At the moment, Tai and Davis were having an arm wrestling match. Davis tried with all his might but still couldn't make Tai's arm budge. Tai was teasing Davis. He wasn't forcing Davis' arm to go down, when he could have at any time, but just held his arm in place. Plus, Tai pretended to yawn. Silly Tai.

Matt smirked.

"I get the winner."

After hearing this, Tai slammed Davis' arm down on the table. Davis shook his arm and looked crestfallen.

"Let's face it, Davis. Tai is older, bigger and stronger than you are and has more experience," TK told him.

TK still looked up to Tai as his second big brother.

"I never asked for any remarks from your big mouth, TP."

Matt and Tai began their match. I could tell both of them were struggling. Matt was stronger than Davis. But not stronger than Tai. They were closely matched in muscle strength. Tai looked at me and almost lost his concentration. Matt took this as an opportunity to win. He almost did, too.

"This one's for Sora," Tai declared.

He worked harder and won. But it had been close.

"Good try, buddy," Tai told Matt.

"I almost had you," Matt smiled.

"What d'ya say, Meems? You up for a match?" Tai offered.

"Me? No way. I use my hands and arms to apply make-up or go shopping."

"You're on, Tai," I told him.

Everyone of the originals gasped. The others were clueless.

"What's going on?" Davis asked.

"Sora's arms must be so strong from all that tennis practice. She may be tough competition for Tai," TK answered.

I sat down across from Tai. We smiled at each other. Davis went behind Tai and put his hands on Tai's shoulders.

"Don't let your girlfriend win."

"Got it, Davis."

I'm going to look at this in a similar way to winning a tennis game. Besides, Tai has already done a few matches. This may be easier than I thought.

"Tai, you've already beaten TK, Davis and Matt. Your arm might not be in the best of shape right now for another match," Joe mentioned.

"Don't worry, Joe. I'm always up for a challenge."

Just as I thought. Tai has been using his right arm which is stronger but it must be at least somewhat tired and sore. Especially after his match with Matt. Besides, Tai works his legs and feet more than his arms and hands. Whereas, I work my arms and hands and used to work my legs and feet. Tai stretched out his right arm. I did the same. We grabbed each other's hands. The match began.

Whoa! Tai still has a lot of strength left. This is going to be harder than I thought, I soon found out. But all those hours of bending, twisting and working my right arm, elbow, wrist and hand weren't for nothing. I visualized my arm using the tennis racket to bring Tai's arm down on the table. For a second, I couldn't believe it. I knew Tai couldn't either. Davis looked more shocked than anyone as if he couldn't believe his hero and role model could lose.

Tai did have some odds against him. He had had a few matches before the one with me. Especially the one with Matt and didn't have a break to rest his arm.

"Sora, are you stronger than my brother?" Kari asked.

"No. Tai's arm was probably a little sore and tired and I have had lots of practice getting my arm stronger in Tennis."

"I demand a rematch. This time, we'll use our left arms."

"Fine with me."

We began. I tried and tried. But Tai's arm, even though it wasn't his dominant one, wasn't sore or tired and my left arm wasn't as strong, either. Tai won easily.

"There! You see, Davis?"

Davis looked dumbfounded. He knew Tai's left arm wasn't as strong as his right one. Tai explained it to him.

"Get it now?"

"I think so."

Tai got up and went over to me.

"You're really good, you know that?"

I blushed.

"I say we celebrate and order pizza," suggested Matt.

"Yaay!" everyone cheered.

So we did.

"Wait a second. Who's going to pay for it?" Kari asked.

"Whoever has money will chip in," Tai answered.

We hung out, listening to Matt's newest CD, while we waited for the pizza to arrive. I sat between Tai and Matt, and felt excited, thinking about the dance tomorrow night and having an awesome time with my friends.
