Wednesday and Thursday went on and on, and it seemed to Sora like forever. She spent her time playing tennis, watching T.V, helping her mom at the store (and surprisingly didn't complain for once), doing homework, dancing, and even found herself singing on her porch.
Yep, she got it bad.
Her friends knew nothing about the date, which she thanked god for. They already bugged her about Tai, and that was enough. The torment she went through on Thursday at the mall… that she will never forget.
What started like a nice little trip to the mall, ended as what she would defy as a traumatic event for life. Two long hours of endless questions. And to top, her friends decided to predict Sora and Tai's future, until the little of all details.
It seemed Sora and Tai will get married, and of course, will take some time off before the anniversary. There will be a moment where Tai will cheat, but Sora will forgive him and the wedding will be taken on Christmas Eve of all. They will have 12 children, and…. (A.N. – the end. Lol :)
Well, Sora's future sure seems bright.
When she told her mother about it, her mom laughed so hard her stomach ached.
Like Sora, Tai's days went slower than ever. Unlike Sora, he did nothing.
Except Soccer, which he got tired of after his daily five hours training (not to mention his hurting muscles), for him, there was nothing that will break his boredom. His sister tried to get him out of the house for a balling tournament, but to no avail.
Eventually, after a four hours sleep, his mom got tired of his behavior and convinced him to help her in the kitchen. Surprisingly, he made a really good cake. His mom was amazed and happy that her son has inherited his grandma's cooking skills. ( A\N - Well I couldn't say hers, could I?)
After finishing cleaning the kitchen, and after he ate a large piece of the cake, ("my cake!" bragged), Tai finally decided to do something with himself, and decided to try and read a book. Unfortunately, the only book he found was "The Princess Diaries" (Nothing special, I just needed a name for a romantic book). 'Great' he thought 'A chick story'. Being the guy he was, he went to his room and closed the door, hoping no one will ever find out. He started reading, and the book turned out really good, but yet, something just kept interrupting him.
"Cant I get her out of my head?" he asked himself. Unlike other girls he liked before, Sora really got to him. Sure, it wasn't love, but he still saw those eyes popping to his head occasionally. He couldn't wait to finally meet her at 'Danny's'. yet, he was really nervous. 'What am I going to say?' he panicked.
A telephone ring cut his thoughts.
"hello?" (that's how we answer the calls at my country. Its funny in English, but I decided to keep it anyway)
"Hey". It was Matt's voice, but something was different. Not a – something-bad-happened kind of voice. But it still sounded awkward.
"Hey what's up?
"Everything is fine. No, wait, scratch that, everything is great" he aid, but you could hear that there was more than happiness in his voice.
"Matt what's wrong?" Tai asked.
"Okay. 30 minutes ago I got a call from an agent. He said that he heard the band and me playing, and that he wants us all at America. The catch is, he wants us there in two weeks, and we're going to stay there for two years or so. He and the company he works for will provide us private teachers, food, and places to sleep. And I think I want to do this".
Tai was shocked. He knew Matt and his band were great, and he did picture them turning into rock stars one day. But not right now. Matt was only seventeen. They were still in 11th grade. And most important, Matt's whole life was here, with his family and friends.
"Tai?" Matt asked, and it was obvious that he feared Tai's reaction.
Tai shook himself off of the thoughts that were going in his brain in the form of a pattern as he heard Matt's worried voice. He cared for Matt. He was his best friend, and knew that that was something Matt wanted with all his heart. They both agreed once they would support each other no matter what. And Tai had every intention in doing so.
"He called you, what, 30 minutes ago? And you're only telling me this now?" He joked.
And Matt laughed.
"Thanks, Tai. And don't worry; you're the first one to know"
Tai smiled. "Congratulations man. I'll come by to your place tomorrow"
"'k. bye man"
"Bye"
When Tai hung up, it hit him. His friend was leaving. His best friend was leaving. And this was going to be hard, but he hoped things will turn out good.
And as he kept on thinking about Matt, he missed to realize that Sora was out of his mind for the first time in days.
Wow, three months and a half…
I'm really sorry for long waiting… I could try and give you excuses of why it took me so long… but the truth is I'm just lazy. This chapter has been sitting in my computer for three months now, and I accidentally came across it while deleting some old files.
It was originally 5 pages long, but since I lost the last three, that will have to do.
I am now under a lot of pressure because of the holidays and school, and right now I suffer from lack of imagination, so the next chapter will be due to a long time from now… my guesses, a few months from now.
Thank you, all of you who still read this.
Oh and one more thing - review! I want to hear (err… read) the readers opinion, and I cant go on without them, so please review!
