Chapter 5 – Interruptions

Disclaimer -- Have yet to complete my takeover of Digimon; it still is not mine.

A/N: My friend has recently brought to my attention that I didn't accept anonymous reviews -- just letting you know that now I do :D

Just updating before harry potter comes out because I'll be preoccupied for the next few days :)

Davis –

It was Friday, the day of our field trip to the park for an end of the year picnic. I think the teachers foresaw that we'd only be watching movies for the rest of the year, so they decided to something different so we wouldn't get bored to death. Sometime around Wednesday all the desks in the classrooms had been put away in storage for next year, and we had all been sprawled on the floor, watching some lousy movie or documentary we had already watched that year.

When I got to school that morning, I had the feeling that the day would be different than all the class trips we'd taken before (the ones where I got in trouble for doing something or the other). I was a bit early that day, but wide awake and ready for some soccer. When I got down to the field though, no one was there. Where's Ken? I thought. He was usually there, even if no one else was, and I could always rely on him for a one-on-one match.

I turned around and searched the edges of the field. Not a person in sight. But then I spotted someone beneath a tree on the far side of the field. I crept up, behind some bushes, to see who it was. And to my great surprise, it was Ken - and he wasn't alone. He had his arm around Yolei and they sat, talking about random things in the world and just basking in the sunlight. Not wanting to intrude, I turned around to leave them alone, but of course, my luck is never that good when I'm trying to be quiet and unnoticed. I stepped on a twig and it snapped loudly.

"Huh?" Yolei said. "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah," answered Ken. "I'll go check it out. Is someone there?" He stuck his head behind the bushes and spotted me quickly. "Davis? What are you doing here?"

"DAVIS!" said Yolei. Oh great. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? YOU SNEAK, I'M GOING TO GET YOU!"

"What?" I said. "It was an accident! It's not like I saw you two doing something."

"AAAGGGH!" screamed Yolei. "Youuuu… argh! DAVIS!"

"Well, SORRY." I answered. Gosh, she was making such a big deal out of it. I left them alone to their crazy, deeply-in-like talk and went back to the main building of Odaiba Secondary.

I entered the quad and saw Kari talking to TK in front of our classroom. Immediately I ran towards them to interrupt their conversation. Who knew what they were talking about? Well it turns out that they were only discussing the lame-o project we have to do. I told them about what had just happened down on the field.

Kari laughed. "You have no respect for anyone, do you?" she said.

"Of course I do!" I countered. "I respect my parents, Tai, you, and… a whole lot of other people!"

Kari, blushing, chuckled and turned toward the classroom. "Come on, we should go inside," she said, changing the subject. TK and I followed. Stupid TK.

Kari –

We arrived at the park in somewhat of an orderly fashion, considering that almost the whole grade was there. Of course, certain "delinquents" had to be detained for not turning in all their textbooks or something. Trivial things like that ruled the minds of the administration.

Well anyway, the park was flooded with people -laughing, talking, eating, and all that good stuff. Summer had already settled in the minds of our classmates…and teachers. A group of staff members and chaperones sat in the shade of a great oak tree, surveying the students, but laughing and gossiping amongst themselves (like real people, not those strict and uptight robots who dole out essays for the sheer enjoyment of torturing others). Davis, Ken, and some other boys in the class immediately started kicking around a soccer ball. TK, Yolei, and I joined them for a while, but at some point we got tired out and settled down in the sanctuary of a nearby tree.

"Hey, Kari," Yolei said, her eyes growing wide. "That guy over there is staring at you!"

"Who? That cute guy with the light brown hair?" I said, turning a bit red. He WAS looking at me. How creepy! I thought.

TK's face looked grim. What was up with him? Somewhere, in a little corner of my mind, I thought (or I wished) that maybe he was jealous.

"Well," he said. "He's walking away now. I wonder why he's not at school."

"Hmm, well, I don't think he goes to our school.Maybe his school already let out?" Yolei suggested. "Ooh, maybe he's ditching classes."

"Yeah, maybe. He sure looks the part," I added, concluding our conversation about this stranger. "Oh, I just remembered, TK. I still have to find out some things about you that I don't know already," I brought up the project.

"Really?" said Yolei. "I finished that assignment ages ago. Well, I'll leave you two alone." She laughed and left us to join a group of chatty girls.

"Umm…so - what don't I know about you?" I asked.

"Well, you pretty much know everything about me. How 'bout we just tell the teacher that you know the inner depths of my soul and leave it at that?" He suggested, chuckling. "What did you find out from Davis this morning? Maybe we can get some ideas from that."

"Good idea," I answered. "Well, he told me his middle name and his favorite band."

"Oh. Well that doesn't help much because you know that stuff about me too. You know my favorite food, my greatest fear, my favorite color, the toothpaste I use..." TK exclaimed.

"Actually, I don't really know your favorite color. What is it, blue?" I asked.

"Finally something you don't know. It's actually green (A/N: Well he wears it a lot…)," he said.

"Okay, one fact down," I said, writing it down in my school notebook. "What else is there?"

He opened his mouth to speak, but at that moment something hit me hard in the back.

TK –

"Ow!" Kari exclaimed, turning around. I could see Davis behind her with the soccer ball, chuckling nervously.

"Sorry, Kari," he said, but he was too late, Kari was already approaching him and had begun hitting him with her notebook.

"It was accident! I swear!" he put his hands up.

Kari whacked his head one last time, laughing, and came back to sit with me.

"At least he didn't hit a teacher this time. He gets in trouble for it every year," she said. "Anyway, back to the assignment. Isn't there ANYTHING about you that I don't know?

"Well you told me your greatest ambition and your favorite flavor of ice cream…"

"But I know you want to be a writer and that you love strawberry ice cream!"

I sighed. We sat in silence for a few minutes. There IS one thing she doesn't quite know about me, I thought. But did I want to tell her just yet?

"Well…" I began.

"Yeah? Did you think of something?"

"I guess, but I don't really know how you'll react…"

"Oh come on, TK," she said. "You know you can tell me anything."

I was still hesitant.

"Well, what is it?"

"Kari, I-- "

And right then, of course, Davis just had to lose control of his aim.

"Davis!" Kari exclaimed. "Why you…" and she began her attack on him once again.

"—love you…" I finished the statement, though there was no one to hear it.
