Chapter One: Reunited.
It was five years since Sora Takenouchi moved out of Odaiba. Ever since that last day her and Tai confessed their feelings before they left. Now she's finally moving back to Odaiba to finish High School there. She was so excited about it, coming back to the place she loves and she gets reunited with her childhood friend and her first crush. She began unpacking her stuff from her boxes and onto her closet and drawers. The orange haired teen was waiting for tomorrow to start, her first day of High School, she was happy that her mother wanted to move back to this place. Since the flower shop she was working at burned down a couple of weeks ago. Luckily the old shop she worked at wanted her back for many years already. 'Hopefully Tai's attending the same High School as I am.'
As the next day went by, she woke up bright and early. Noticing the bright weather peaking through the window, she yawned and stretched making her whole body awake. She did her regular routine of taking a shower, fixing the hair, brushing the teeth, put clothes on, and eat. She was in a good mood, her mother giggled along to herself as she walked out of the house.
"Now dear, have a good first day, okay?"
She smiled and nodded, "Of course. You too, Mom."
After her mom walked out to work already, Sora immediately got her bag and walked out the house minutes later. Thankfully the school wasn't that far from where she lived, ten minutes is all it took. As she was walking a girl bumped into her, as they both knocked down each other's stuff.
"Oh, damn, sorry!" The lavender haired girl exclaimed picking all her stuff up. Sora helped her and grabbed her bag and handed her stuff back to her.
"It's fine, you seem like you're in a rush."
She adjusted her glasses and started walking along with Sora, "Early bird catches the worm they say." She laughed and then added, "So rude of me, my name's Yolei."
"Sora, nice to meet you."
"So you're new or something?" Yolei asked as the other teen nodded in response, "Oh, I see. Don't worry about anything, everyone is like family. All the freshmens through out the seniors."
The orange haired girl sighed in relief and just smiled walking with her into the building and searching for her locker.
"Well, I have to go, I have to find my locker and all that."
Yolei nodded and waved goodbye to Sora as she did the same back. Sora went walking everywhere for her locker, then she noticed how her locker was right next to her first class of the day. 'Math, well, that's great.' She thought sarcastically walking into the room and sat next to the first seat she saw. She sat next to a girl with pink and brown streaks on her hair along with stars on it as well that sparkle when the sunlight hits it.
"Hey, new girl, right? I'm Tachikawa Mimi."
"Takenouchi Sora, nice to meet you." She introduced herself kindly like always. She never wanted to sound negative or sound disrespectful nothing like that at all.
As the bell rang everyone was in their seats getting prepared for class. Then an old gray haired man appeared in the classroom.
"Good morning Mr. Nakanishi." He responded with a light smile on his face. He cleared his throat and looked over at the new student, "Everyone this is Takenouchi, Sora."
"Hi everyone." She mumbled out as she sat back down on her seat. As class was about to officially begin someone came running in the door as Sora's eyes were wide. She couldn't believe who just ran into her classroom, she thought she was dreaming, it was hard to believe. After five years, the person right in front of her was her childhood friend. He still looked the same, he looked more toned out, taller too, and of course his hair got even bigger.
"Sorry M-Mr. Nakanishi." He murmured out as the teacher groaned in disappointment.
"What's your excuse this time, Kamiya?"
He sighed, walking to his seat and then he answered, "I overslept." Everyone in the class started laughing as Mr. Nakanishi shook his head and went over to the big haired teen and smacked his head.
"Kamiya, if you don't get your act together I'll-"
"Teach you a good lesson about being a good student, of course Mr. N, I get it." He gave his teacher a friendly grin as Mr. Nakanishi just sighed and began class.
"He can be such a douche bag." Mimi stuttered causing Sora's attention on her.
"What, what do you mean?" Sora asked quietly.
"Huh? Oh, I just don't like Kamiya, that's all. He's such a pain in the ass. I don't get how he's popular and all that, that's all." She explained. Sora did get offended by that, she knew Tai's not like that at all. Tai maybe annoying but he sure knew how to make people laugh and feel better.
The classes went by slowly, but Sora paid attention the whole time. It was how she was, everyone can be sick of school and the classes, but she can stick by them every minute. It was lunch time, and she decided since she couldn't find Mimi or Yolei she was going to spend some time in the top building outside where she can enjoy the atmosphere of fall. As soon as she dropped by the place she felt a warm breeze coming from the sides. She sat right down behind the small building where she came from and began eating her lunch.
'He's such a pain in the ass.' She sighed thinking about what the strawberry haired girl told her. As she heard a voice coming her way as she panicked, but just froze from where she was. She was trying to calm herself knowing that it was a male's voice was coming closer to her.
"Sora?" She looked up to see who it was, it was Izzy. She wasn't really friends with him, but they've chatted numerous times before. She sighed in relief and smiled, "Hi Izzy."
He decided to sit next to her and then he spoke, "Five years. I didn't know you moved back. No wonder my parents kept telling me we have new neighbors."
She giggled and explained the whole thing, "My mom's work burnt down a few weeks ago, and luckily her coworkers begged her to come back."
"That's good, a lot of things changed over the time when you left."
She frowned a little, "I can tell. It's okay though, I'm back for good anyways."
That whole lunch time, Sora and Izzy talked about varieties of things. Nothing including Tai though. She completely forgot about him, after lunch ended he decided to walk her back to her class where this time it was study hall. Her teacher gave her the supplies she needed for the class and home, nothing hard but simple. After that she really didn't have anything else to do, besides sit there wandering off the room. She was debating whether she wanted to say hi to Tai, or wait until he does.
The first day of school was finally over. She didn't say hi, he didn't say hi. She felt weak, she didn't get to say anything to him. She was pretty depressed about it, after she got her stuff she decided to go up to the building known as her 'Thinking spot' now. As she was walking she walked passed an open window, her class's window that is. She shrugged and kept on walking until she heard someone say, "Bye."
She walked back to the window and took a peak seeing if anyone was in there. "Hey Sor!" She jumped as she stumbled back onto her butt as she looked up and noticed it was Tai. She smiled and stood up patting her skirt taking out any rocks or dirt.
"Where you heading to?" He asked.
"Somewhere."
He smiled at her, she hasn't seen her in practically forever. She still looked beautiful in his eyes. "Mm, okay. See you tomorrow then."
She smiled back at him, "You too weirdo." As she walked to her spot on the top of the building she smiled about how Tai finally said something to her. She couldn't felt more relieved than ever. She decided to do her homework since there was nothing else to do, yet Tai was always on her mind the whole time. Causing her to have a difficult time finishing her work. After that she waited for her Mom to arrive to pick her up, and she noticed Mimi was right across from her. The orange haired teen decided to keep the other girl company since who knows how long she was standing there for.
"Hey Mimi."
Mimi smiled, "Hi. Waiting for your ride too, huh?" The other girl nodded.
"You know I wanted you to come eat with me and my friend, where were you?"
"Top of the building." She replied back to her as Mimi mouthed an 'Oh'. Her Mom finally arrived as she bit her lip and told her mom, "Mom can we wait until Mimi's parents pick her up, I don't want her to be alone."
Her mother nodded but offered, "Honey, how long will your parents get here? Maybe I can give you a ride home, I don't mind."
"It's at the Odaiba apartments, not to far from here Mrs. Takenouchi." Mimi answered back as the other girls smiled back, "Come on in, we live there too."
Mimi plastered a small smile on her face as she went in the car and called her parents to inform her that she was given a ride. After they arrived at the parking lot momentarily they waved goodbye to one another. As they arrived home they both sat down exhausted, but they still spoke about their day. Sora was always opened to her mother about everything since they were so close. She relied on her all the time and they can always keep a conversation going.
"How was your day sweet heart?"
"It was good, and yours?"
"Same. So did you see Tai anywhere?" Her mother asked in a teasing way as Sora blushed a little and nodded. Her Mom chuckled, "I bet he turned into one fine teenager."
"And a trouble maker." Sora added quietly.
"What was that, Sora?"
"N-Nothing!" She stuttered out. She rushed into her room and digging her face into her pillow thinking about how today went by. 'He's still the same Tai I still love.' After dinner she was in her bedroom listening to some slow songs trying to fall asleep looking at her light blue wall. As she did so few minutes after.
The next day was the same morning as yesterday. Daily routine, walking to school, this time she bumped into Yolei. They both laughed knowing this is how they met yesterday. They walked together to school and Sora asked, "What grade are you in?"
"First year, and you?"
"Third, I didn't know you were a freshman, you don't look like it one bit." It was true, she was tall. As tall as she was, she looked mature for her age. Yolei just laughed and smiled.
Once again school started, this time Tai wasn't late like he was normally. He actually came in time. Everyone and Mr. Nakanishi were surprised. Before Mr. Nakanishi let the class go for lunch he made some kind of announcement.
"Remember everyone, by the end of next week is the marathon walk. Ten miles. Remember to get the forms signs. You guys can go when you get one." When Sora got one she skimmed through it carefully, she was the last one to leave to talk to her teacher about what it was for.
"Mr. Nakanishi, I was wondering why we're doing this marathon walk. Not to sound disrespectful or anything."
He chuckled and explained everything to her, "Just a donation thing we do. We've began about a year or two ago." She just mouthed and 'Oh' and went on her way. Since it was a good cause it was a good thing to her.
After she grabbed her things for her last two periods and then went on her way to her regular spot. She didn't quite want to eat with Mimi since she wanted to have some time to herself instead. As the orange haired teenager walked to her spot she noticed someone already sitting at her spot, of course the big messy brown hair gave the identity away. It was Tai, she was surprise that he was there just looking out in the view. He looked up at her and gave her a big grin as she smiled and sat next to him.
"Izzy told me that you were here yesterday, I knew you'd be here again today." The brunette explained as Sora peacefully took out her lunch and began to eat it.
"I was kind of surprised you arrived in class early to be honest." She muttered as he laughed and put his legs out.
"Well, I just wanted to see you walking in. Not to sound creepy or anything like that." She giggled and offered Tai some of her lunch as he grabbed a piece of sushi, he failed to get it. He kept trying but he end up failing. She laughed and helped him by teaching him how to grab the sushi, by the time he got it he finally grabbed it.
"Hey, Tai, can I ask you something?" He nodded and grabbed another piece of sushi.
"You know Tachikawa Mimi, right?" She received another nod as she continued, "Why does she, dislike you?"
After he was done eating he looked out and shrugged, "She's been, for two years. It's how she is with me, we weren't exactly friends at all. I don't know, but I don't care. Why?"
She looked out too and answered, "Just curious. When you came in class late she was saying how she didn't like you and all that."
The bell rang after she answered. He stood up and helped her, they both walked together in class. Everyone gave them looks of curiosity and Sora caught Mimi rolling her eyes as she sighed and sat next to her.
"So you decided to eat with Tai, I see." She said.
Sora frowned a little, "Sorry Meems, I didn't know he was there until I saw him."
Mimi just looked at her classmate and just smiled, "No, it's fine." 'After all, I'm mad at him.' She thought as she continued her homework.
In the end of the day, Sora grabbed her things and walked to her spot until her mother came and picked her up. As she arrived on the top of the building she saw Tai again, she was getting freaked out a little by seeing him everywhere but she shrugged it off.
"Tai, you're weird." She said sitting next to him once again as he just stuck his tongue out and smiled. Once she took out her books he groaned as the girl looked at him, "What'd I do?"
He grabbed her things and set them aside, "No. Do that at home, that's why it's called homework smart one."
"What else I'm I suppose to do?" She asked.
"Catch up with me, it's been five years Sora, I think we should talk until you leave." She sighed and nodded.
"How were you over there? Was it boring, did you get a boyfriend?" He asked with no hesitation.
"It was okay, it wasn't really boring. I had no boyfriends actually." She replied back.
He raised a brow, he was really surprised. "Why's that?"
She just shrugged in response. She didn't really want to tell him that she wanted to wait until she moved back to come looking for him and let him be her first boyfriend. She was blushing a little thinking about it until she spoke, "What about you?"
He sighed and plastered a frown, "It was one hell of a roller-coaster. I remember when you were gone, I'd wait for you to call or e-mail me. Then middle school was crazy, that time was when I had my first girlfriend. From then on, I've been whatever-ing everything."
Sora's heart sank when he said 'First girlfriend', actually everything he said upset her. She never thought in her whole life Tai would have problems struggling stuff. Yet, he seemed happy on the outside. She felt her eyes watered, "Tai. I'm sorry." He looked at her put she didn't look at him back, she kept her eyes on the floor as she continued.
"I was so busy with school I never had no had the chance to call or anything to ask how you were doing. You probably dealt with so much, and I said I would be there for you. When I was somewhere else, not even thinking about how you were or anything. You were always happy, nothing would ever get the best of you. But after hearing you telling me how you were from the moment I left, it sounds painful." She took one deep breathe as he sighed and made her look at him, wiping her tears away as the brunette gave his childhood friend a calm smile.
"Sora, it's fine. It wasn't that bad. I'm going to get through this, and the best part is that you're here again. No need to blame yourself, you didn't choose to leave, you had to. It's how life is, life just screws with people who may deserve it, or not."
Her heart was beating, fast. She never looked at Tai eye to eye before in such a long time. The orange haired girl practically felt her feelings coming fast to her, was it possible she still likes Tai after all this time? She looked over and saw her mother's car in the parking lot as she grabbed her bag and began running inside the building but before she did she had to tell Tai something.
"Tai, I'm always going to be there for you from now on if you ever need someone." He smiled and walked towards her and gave her a warm hug and waved goodbye to her as she ran down the stairs hoping her mom wasn't waiting too long for her.
Tai was happy to here that one of his good friends said that. He hadn't heard it in so long that he almost forgot how it sounded like. He wanted to say it back, but he didn't it just couldn't come out. He felt a tear rolling down his cheek as he thought about it. He never said it for almost four years now.
A/N: PHEW, I think I'll be writing long chapters for this story. Care to make guesses on why he hasn't said it for four years? Or how Mimi doesn't like him? Tell me, tell me! Review please, you guys are just plain awesome x3 Excuse any errors please.
