Hitting the ball in frustration, Sora prepared for the second round. Swinging hard, forcing the ball far across the court, she couldn't help but get more anger. Normally tennis would cool her off, but she was feeling worst then before. Nothing was going her way, and it was really starting to bug her. Not only did she finish her class assignment late, she also received a failing grade. She had also brushed off Yamato because of it, and when she went to apologies, he didn't pick up his phone. She was more upset that both he and Taichi seemed to be avoiding her today. Taichi's understandable, but Yamato, what good reason would he have for avoiding her! They were dating, weren't they?
Swing harder at the ball, Sora realized too late at her slacking grip and could only watch as the tennis racked when across the court. "Crap" she hissed, she couldn't afford a new racket if this on broke. And her spare racket needed to be re-strung. Why do these things keep happening to her?
Turning off the ball machine, and picking up her racket, Sora decided that that would be enough for today. The Quarter-Final's were tomorrow and she had now worked herself in a fury. She'd need to find something to subside these emotions, since she could already tell they would make the quarter finals difficult to compete in.
She hadn't decided if she wanted McDonald's or some sushi. Sora knew she probably should go for the Sushi (as the healthy alternative) but she found herself moody, upset and frustrated and greases foods always did the trick for those emotions. But I'll get fat…She groaned as she package up her sports bag. Sighing defeated, Sora decided on the sushi and headed out. Now she was even more pissed off and cranky. Maybe she should get McDonalds…but she wanted to lose some pounds before the year end dance. It was still a couple of months off, but what better time to get too it?
But I want grease!
Walking passed the soccer field, Sora began to reminisce about playing with Koushiro and Taichi…she had really missed them, but she was focus in Tennis now. She wasn't 100 sure when she started loving Tennis and when soccer became just fading memories, but she still missed soccer. Maybe she could get everyone to play it when they go camping…Or something.
Everything had gotten so weird lately, and she hated to admit it, but she was used to it. The digidestines hadn't had a gathering in a long while now, and it'd feel weird when they are all together, trying to catch up on good time. She was looking forward to it, no doubt…but she was still a little hesitant.
Picking up her phone as soon as she felt the vibrations, she was surprised to hear Kourshiro…she had been hoping the Yamato would call her at least once to explain the avoidance. "Hello Koushiro, what's new?"
"Just got the last of the replies from everyone. It seems that we will be able to go camping next weekend. Yamato has already booked his family's cottage, so we definitely have a place to stay. And what's better, we've even convinced Jyou to stop studying for two days,"
"That's great!" Sora exclaimed, feeling her moodiness all comply into happiness and nervousness. "When will we be able to head out?"
"Friday, afternoon, after school. Because of the different school schedules, we'll just have to meet everyone there. Yamato says he'll be able to take his dad's van, so there's one lift, and Jyou has a car as well. Miyako's gonna get her dad to drop her, Iori, and Hikari. I haven't heard from Ken or Daisuke yet, but it's probably that they'll get a lift together. I think Takeru's coming with Yamato, so you, me, and Takeru will ride with Yamato,"
"What about Taichi?"
"Apparently Taichi got a ride with a friend,"
"oh?" Sora muttered, surprised. They were doing this for Taichi, she would have thought he would ride with one of them to the camp site. But who knows, maybe he wanted to make an entrance, "Hey, how has Taichi been anyways. We haven't been able to talk in a while,"
"I'm not sure," Koushiro admitted, sighing, "I know Taichi was feeling depressed before about school but I'm not sure anymore. And he's been awfully happy this week. Who knows, maybe he got himself a girlfriend," he joked, making Sora smile faintly. The thought of Taichi with a girlfriend was kinda of the salt on an old wound; it stung, but at the same time she couldn't see it. She loved Taichi, and hoped for the best for him, but she honestly couldn't see him with anyone. Knowing Taichi, he probably just won a level at some video game or something.
"Wouldn't that be news," Sora smiled, nodding before changing the subject, "So everyone will be there,"
"Yeps," Koushiro answered, before adding, "Well with the expectation of Mimi. I bet we could possible arrange something, but it would take much longer…Honestly I don't even remember the last e-mail I wrote to her. I wonder how she is and if anyone's kept in contact with her,"
Shrugging, Sora sighed. She knew she hadn't kept in contact. Although they were best friends, once everything was said and done in the DigiWorld, she just got busy with school, Yamato and life and never found the time. She did feel bad for it, but in the same sense, she saw it that Mimi didn't keep in contact either, so they both were really to blame. "Too bad. I knew it was too good to be true,"
"Yeah. But we can still send her an email with all of us…as long as she hasn't changed her email,"
Laughing, Sora smiled at his enthusiasm, "I can't wait till this weekend. But I've got to go. Have to get something to eat, then its home and studying for me."
"Alright, I'll see you later, Sora. And good luck in your match tomorrow,"
"Thank Koushiro,"
Hanging up the phone, Sora couldn't help but where her smile ear to ear. She was still nervous about the camping trip but now the excitement was overweighting those feelings. Talking with Koushiro made her realize how refreshing it felt to talk with old friends and now was looking followed to find out what everyone was up to and in to. Maybe she had just been nervous because it would mean being with Yamato and Taichi in a close space, but now she realized that everyone would be there, and it would just be her, Taichi and Yamato.
