A/N: Like I said in the last chapter, I'll kinda be making my own school system. And please review I have a feeling my last chapter was a bit corny. Umm was it?
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
1st day at school.
7th January, Hikari's Bedroom 7.15am
"Ring Ring" The alarm clock rang.
Hikari who was usually a morning-person unlike Tai, had trouble waking up today, she didn't sleep well last night because she was nervous of her 1st day at a new school, she finally slept at 2am after convincing herself that everything was going to be okay with Takeru with her.
She got out of bed, made her bed and put her favourite teddy bear in the middle of all her pillows, ( A/N I know its childish to sleep with a teddy bear but you'll see later why I put it in.) and got ready for school. Takeru was going to walk her to school, and she didn't want to be late for her first day.
By the time she got ready and went downstairs, Takeru was already waiting downstairs in the kitchen helping himself to pancakes Mrs Kamiya had made.
"Ready for school?" Takeru asked her.
"Yup." She said not really listening to what he had said. She had been examining how Takeru looked, and she thought ' wow he looks good in school uniform, when I first saw the school uniform colours, I didn't think anyone could pull it off, but Takeru definitely pulled it off.'
She drank a glass of orange juice and she and Takeru headed out of the door.
"Bye Mrs Kamiya" Takeru said
"Bye mum." Hikari said as they headed out of the door.
Walking to school. 8.03am
Kari's POV
"Sorry to keep you waiting." I said to Takeru.
"Oh its okay , I don't mind waiting, anyway back in Odaiba I was always the late one." He said smiling at me.
"Yeah." I said reminiscing the past, and I covered my mouth to yawn.
"Didn't sleep well last night?" Takeru asked me.
"Yup, I was too nervous for my 1st day." I answered.
"Relax, everything's going to be okay, you have me" he said smiling reassuringly, and grabbed hold of her hand
Los Angeles International High school. 8.12pm
Kari's POV
(A/N: The school that Takeru and Hikari are attending is Los Angeles International High school. It's for 13- 18 yr olds. But the 17 and 18 yr old are in a separate building on the other side of campus. Tai and Yamato attend the same school, and they are 18. And they live really near the school)
A few minutes later, Takeru and I reached school, it was quite early and very little people were in school. Takeru showed me to the principal's office and wanted to wait for me but I asked him to go to class first, so Takeru left.
Soon it was my turn to see the principal, and I entered his office.
"Good morning Mr er.. Kent" I said , just remembering my principal's name.
"Good morning Miis Kamiya, this is your timetable and let me introduce you to your student partner, who will show you around school." The principal said introducing me to a blonde girl who had a smug smile on her face.
"Hi! I'm Mandy. Its so nice to meet you Kari, I'm sure we'll be great friends." she said.
Personally I thought she looked kind of snobby, but I was polite and said " Its nice to meet you too Mandy" and smiled.
She then brought me to the gym, Gym was my first class of the day, I was quite good at sports back in Odaiba, along the way she kept talking about the different "social classes" in school, namely the popular, and the nerds, she was obviously popular. After awhile I had enough, and didn't pay attention to her, I was really starting to hate her. She was a snob.
School Gym. 8.37am
When we reached the gym, everyone was already there, the girls and boys were divided into groups and sitting down, the girls and boys would take turns to play volleyball and basketball respectively. I was happy to see Takeru in my gym class, he smiled at me and I smiled back. Sadly I couldn't talk to him much as it was the girl's turn to play volleyball. Fortunately I'm quite good at volleyball.
The teacher introduced me to everyone, and we were divided into groups, I was happy not to be in Mandy's team. Soon we started playing, I scored 4 points, and "saved" the ball quite a number of times,
(A/N: sorry I don't play volleyball so I cant write a description on the match very well because I don't know all the scoring terms and all that)
Suddenly one of the boys cheered " Go Hikari!" I think it was TK, and suddenly everyone started cheering for me, I was shocked and so was everyone else, especially Mandy, I would be too if I was the one of the most popular girl at school and everyone cheered for the new girl instead of me. In the end we won 7-3.
Mandy was so pissed off she walked out of the gym, and her friends quickly followed her.
"Whoa your good" a girl came up and said to me. " Don't mind Mandy, She's "miss popular". She's a real snob, now she must be really mad at you, after everyone started cheering for you instead of her. I'm Rika by the way, and this is Sakura." She said introducing me to her friend. " We were both from Japan too."
"Hi.." I said and smiled, 'they seem nice..'
Now it was the boys turn to play basketball, and Mandy and her friends came back to the gym, they sat in the first row of the bleachers, and were cheering for Takeru, however he didn't seem to notice and after awhile they stopped. While watching Sakura and Rika filled me in on all the details, Mandy was "miss popular", and everyone knew she had a major crush on Takeru. Takeru was popular and basketball captain of the school team, He was modest, helpful and an all-round nice guy.
'Sometimes I think I really don't deserve to have him as a best friend, he's just so.. so perfect.' I sighed.
"Go Takeru!" I accidentally shouted, I used to cheer for him back in Odaiba, but I immediately wished I had kept my mouth shut. Takeru turned around and smiled at me, and then he dribbled the ball past a few opposing team members and scored a slam-dunk.
Everyone then turned around and looked at me, I could feel my cheeks burning.
And I heard one of Mandy's friend say to her " Did you just see that? He smiled back at her." "He might not have been smiling at her." Mandy said angrily to her friend. "Okay if u say so.." said her friend not entirely convinced. Immediately I regretted what I said, but some part of me actually felt happy that I was the only girl Takeru seemed to notice.
In the end of the match, Takeru's team won 19-8 (A/N I also don't play basketball, so I anyhow made up the scores, I hope it isn't unrealistic) mostly thanks to him.
Then we all hit the showers, and I went for geography class, sadly, Takeru wasn't in my class, but Sakura and Rika were in this class. I couldn't wait for lunch.
11.34am, Cafeteria
Kari's POV
I followed my two new friends to the cafeteria and suddenly my phone started vibrating.
I had a message from Takeru, it read:
Sry Kari cant eat lunch with u. have 2 go prepare the basketball tryouts. Will u b ok?
I was disappointed but I quickly replied: its okay. Im gg with my frewns.
Then remembering I had to go and tryout for an after school activity later because I was new.
We bought our food and sat down.
"So.. what after school activity are you trying out for? Rika asked me.
"Cheerleading I think." I said, I was captain of my cheerleading team back in Odaiba.
"I'm in cheerleading too!" Sakura said,
"We'll go with you to tryouts later." Rika said.
"Thanks you guys."
We continued to talk about school, boys, teachers, and they filled me in on all the gossip, soon lunch was over and we went our separate ways to different classes.
'I have science next, I think Takeru will be in my class' I thought to my self happily asI tried to find the science lab.
Science Lab, 12.22pm
Takeru's POV
'Science can be so boring sometimes, didn't we learn this last year? Oh well at least Hikari's my Lab partner, she looks cute when she doesn't understand what the teacher is talking about.'
20 minutes earlier. 12.02pm. Science lab
Kari's POV
"Kari! Sorry about lunch." Takeru said as he spotted me enter the science lab
"Its okay. Phew luckily I managed to find the lab in time, I almost got lost. This school is so big" I said.
"I'll give you a tour later." He said, chuckling slightly.
(the teacher walks in..)
"Morning class, my name for those of you who don't know is Mr Samuels. Oh and we have a new student joining us, And this is er.."
"Hikari.." I stood in front of the class and said.
"Ah yes, welcome. Now everyone go and find lab partners and sit down." The teacher said.
I looked around wondering what I should do , Takeru definitely wouldn't be my lab partner, girls were swarming around him asking him to be their lab partner, I Sighed and decided to just sit down and see who ever was left.
"Takeru you wanna be my lab partner?" I heard Mandy ask him.
"Sorry Mandy." Takeru replied.
Her smile immediately turned into a scowl and she walked away.
'Hmm I wonder who Takeru's gonna partner with, he declined all the girls who asked him.' I thought.
He walked over to me and said " Kari, lab partners?"
"Sure.. Takeru." I said happily, I looked around and saw many girls giving me glares many of them looked jealous, especially Mandy, 'Oh well..'
Science lab 12.23pm
Takeru's POV
"Takeru would you please repeat what I said?" the teacher asked.
" Takeru, the teachers calling you." Hikari whispered to me.
I hadn't been paying attention, and I didn't know how to answer.
"Ummm… " I said looking around for help.
"Next time would you please pay more attention in class, Takeru, and stop day dreaming. Sit down" The teacher said.
"Er.. yes sir." I replied , smiling embarrassingly.
I sat down and could hear girl's giggling in the background, I turned to my left and saw Hikari giggling as well.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Nothing, Nothing.." she said innocently.
Kari's POV
The rest of the day went by great; Takeru was in most of my classes. Unfortunately, Mandy was also in most of my classes, except History, Geography, and 3rd and 2nd language (A/N since its an International school, the students take English, their Mother tongue, and another language they chose.) I chose French, Just like Takeru.
After out last class, the school bell rang, it was time for cheerleading tryouts.
Tryouts. School gym. 3.27pm.
Kari's POV
I was quite nervous at first, but my friends came along to give me moral support.
We had to do the usual routines one by one, in front of the coach and the captain of the team, and they would announce the results later.
I think they were quite impressed especially with the flips and somersaults I did.
"Hikari Kamiya?" the coach called out.
I nervously walked over to the table where the coach was sitting with the team captain.
"We were very impressed with your routine, Also, the principal told me that you were ex captain of your cheerleading team in Odaiba, and after reading about all the awards u won, he recommended I make u Vice-Captain, and after seeing your routine, I think you would definitely make a good Vice-captain." the coach said.
(A/N The Principal read it in Hikari's list of qualifications that her old school had provided. And umm.. I hope it isn't a bit too Unbelievable that Hikari got made vice-captain; you see I wanted her to make Mandy hate her. So.. )
I was shocked but also more relived I made the team. I thanked them and sat down.
School gym, 5.12pm
3rd person POV
"Coach can I speak to you for awhile" Mandy said after hearing Hikari had made vice-captain.
The two of them walked to a corner of the gym and talked.
"I thought you were going to be Vice-Captain." Mandy complained.
"Both you and Hikari will be Vice-Captain." The coach said.
"Okay.." Mandy Grumbled.
School gym. 5.17pm
Kari's POV
I went to get my stuff, to get ready and leave, and suddenly Mandy came over with a cup of cold water, and offered it to me. I gladly accepted, feeling thirsty, and then she took the cup and splashed water all over me.
"Oops.." she said, then she and her friend started laughing and left.
Sakura and Rika saw what happened and went with to the toilet to help me get cleaned up.
"That Bitch. If I ever get my hands on her… she'd better watch out" Rika cursed.
"It's okay guys.. I'm sure it was an accident." I said
Rika rolled her eyes, and said, " You've got to get revenge Hikari!"
"Maybe.." I replied.
After awhile I managed to dry my shirt, and the three of us walked out of school.
Rika kept going on about her revenge plans; Sakura and I just pretended to listen.
Takeru was leaning on the school fence waiting for me at the gate.
Rika caught me glancing at Takeru and said " Omg, do you know that is. Mandy has a major crush on him. Oh wait I know! I've just thought of a beyond brilliant idea.. You could.."
I ignored her and walked over to Takeru and called out to him.
"Takeru!"
He looked up and saw me, and said "Hey Kari. How were cheerleading tryouts?"
Sakura and Rika quickly caught up with me, and Sakura whispered, " Do you know him?"
"Long story." I replied.
I introduced him to my friends, and then Takeru and me start walking home.
It was so cold I was shivering.
"So how were tryouts?" he asked me.
"Great, your now looking at the new Vice-captain of the cheerleading team." I said.
"Hikari you okay? Your shivering." He asked me.
"Yup, its just really cold." I replied.
"Here wear my jacket, don't you know how cold it can get in LA." Takeru said taking off his jacket.
"No.. Its not my fault, You didn't tell me." I said sticking out my tongue.
"Wear my jacket.." he replied putting his jacket around me.
"But then you'll freeze." I protested.
"I don't mind." He said smiling.
"But I do.." I said handing him back the jacket.
"Okay then I'll freeze with you." He said.
"Don't! TAKERU ISHIDA put your jacket back on! " I said pretending to be mad.
"Either we both freeze or I freeze." He said smiling still offering me his jacket.
"Fine! But don't blame me if you get frostbite." I said.
"I wouldn't dare. Anyway Its not cold enough to get frostbite" he said and smiled at me and held my hand. This was just a usual gesture between us, to us, it was
a display of how good friends they were.
But for some reason I started to blush.
3rd person POV
They walked about 20 meters, and Hikari realized, Takeru was shivering but trying his best to not let it show.
"Regret giving me your coat? she asked.
"Maybe.. but never mind, We're reaching home soon, and as punishment for making me freeze, your gonna help me with my maths homework." Takeru said playfully.
"I thought u said u wouldn't blame me!" she replied.
"I lied." He said sticking out his tongue, and he started running.
"TAKERU ISHIDA!" she shouted running after him
Soon they reached they're neighborhood and Hikari went home to change, and they agreed to meet at Takeru's house after dinner
Takeru's bedroom 7.32pm.
Kari's POV
"Kari your suppose to be helping me.." Takeru said to Hikari who was lying on his bed while he did his homework.
"Oops sorry.." I said and went to sit down next to him, I looked at his homework, and asked "Didn't we have time to finish this in class?"
"I didn't know how to do it." He said embarrassingly.
I started to explain to him, but later realized he wasn't listening but looking at me with his blue eyes, his eyes were so blue sometimes it hurt to look at, He had done this a few times in the years that we've know each other, but this time it just felt different.
Hikari could feel herself blusing red, and asked him. " Umm.. Takeru why are you looking at me like that?"
"Oh.. err.. You.. You.. look really pretty.. today" he stammered.
"Really?" I said, leaning nearer to him, and looking into his eyes innocently, trying to put him on the spot.
"Err.. Err.. Yes." He stammered yet again.
I moved back and laughed, " You were blushing, you were blushing!" I said pointing at him.
Suddenly Takeru started to tickling me .
"Hey what's that for! Stop it!" I said laughing uncontrollably.
"That's for putting me on the spot like that!" Takeru replied.
"Stop tickling me!!"
"Stop it Takeru!!"
"Never." He said
"Patamon help me!!" I said to Patamon who was sitting on Takeru's bed.
"Patamon don't!"
"Huh? I think I'll just leave you two lovers alone." Patamon said confused.
"We are not Lovers! We are just best friends!" I said blushing.
"Yeah. And Patamon I didn't know u knew about love." Takeru said, who had finally stopped tickling me. I noticed he was also blushing.
"Tailmon taught me, believe me she knows a lot about love, she thinks you guys are in love with each other but just don't realize it yet." Patamon stated matter-of-factly.
"We are not in love with each other!" Takeru and me said together.
"Do you want me to list the reasons?" Patamon asked playfully.
Takeru nor me said anything, and Patamon started talking.
"One, Takeru was jealous when you went out with Davis that one time, two, he almost as overprotective as Taichi over you, three, he always smiles when his with you. Tailmon told me that, you always dream of Takeru and whisper his name at night, you still sleep with that teddy bear Takeru gave you when you were kids, you were jealous that time Taichi told you he and TK kissed that French digi-destined Catherine, even though it was a just a friendly kiss.. need I say more" Patamon said looking pretty satisfied with himself.
(A/N imagine Patamon with a pointer lecturing Takeru and Hikari xD sorry he is a little out of character.)
3rd person POV.
"That's because we're just best friends." Hikari protested.
"Yeah, Hikari's just my best friend. Patamon.." Takeru said
"Oops umm.. did I go too far, I think I hear Yamato calling me. BYE" Patamon said quickly leaving.
"Well that was awkward.." Hikari said softly, avoiding looking at Takeru.
"Yea, sorry about Patamon." Takeru said looking at the floor.
"Tailmon's a bad influence on him." She replied.
"Yeah.. Anyway its getting late shouldn't you be going home." Takeru asked.
"I guess so.." she said.
"I'll walk you home.." Takeru offered
"Okay thanks."
Kari's POV
"So.. you never told me you were jealous when I went out with Davis.."
she said to Takeru as he locked the his house door.
"I wasn't Jealous! I was… just being overprotective.. " Takeru Protested as the two of them started walking
"Like I believe that." I told him.
"Well you got jealous when you knew about me kissing Catherine, it was just a friendly kiss on the cheek you know." He told me.
"I only got jealous because well you know her for such a short time and you kiss her on the cheek! Even if it's just a kiss between friends." I said. " And you've known me for so long and you've never given me a kiss.." I said in a softer tone.
"Does that mean you want me to kiss you?" he asked playfully.
"NO." I shouted at him, as we had reached the front door of my house.
But Takeru suddenly, leaned towards me, and gave me a gentle kiss on the lips.
I was in shock and didn't move a muscle, I felt as if she was in heaven, the kiss lasted 5 seconds and finally our lips parted.
"TAKERU ISHIDA!! You just stole my first kiss.. You Idiot." I scolded him
"Well, you "stole" mine too. (A/N that was also Takeru's first kiss.) And you're the one who wanted me to kiss you." Takeru said
"On the cheek, not on the lips! Your supposed to give your first kiss to someone you really like." I told him.
Takeru looked hurt, "Hikari, and you don't like me?"
"No it's not that. Anyway you're my best friend, your not supposed to kiss me on the lips." I said
"Okay Hikari I'm sorry.." Takeru apologised.
"Its okay.. " I said after awhile. 'Maybe I do have feelings for him' I thought.
"Good night Hikari. I'll come and walk you to school tomorrow." Takeru said.
"Good night TK." I said.
"Wait Hikari, I hope the kiss and what Patamon said does't change anything, I mean we are still best friends right?" Takeru asked.
"I wouldnt have it any other way." She replied smiling at the blonde.
Hikari's bedroom. 11.37pm
3rd person POV
Hikari had just gotten of the phone with, Takeru and was ready to go to bed.
About and Hour earlier, she had found herself missing the blonde, and decided to call him, and they had talked for quite a long time.
After awhile she fell asleep, she had a dream of Takeru and her sitting under a cherry blossoms tree; He was telling her he loved her.
"I love you too Takeru.." she whispered in her sleep.
Was it okay? Pls review
