A/N: Ok so Zoe is friends with the 02 gang. I used them because 02 is my second favorite Digimon series. Enjoy the chapter!

"Zoe! I'm so glad I caught you! We need to talk!" Yolie screeched through the phone.

"We don't need to talk about anything. I told you already, I'm done with love." I said.

"You can't just run away from this Zoe! It isn't fair!" Yolie cried.

"Is it fair for me to get my heart broken every time I love? No. So how is it unfair?" I asked.

"Zoe you just don't know how many guys would kill to go out with you! You just don't know that it'll get better for you once you find the right guy!" Yolie exclaimed.

I grabbed my bag and walked out of the school. I was the first to finish my run so I was the first to leave.

"Yolie, why couldn't this wait until we were in the car?" I asked as I walked towards the parking lot.

"Zoe don't tell me you forgot! It's Thursday! I'm on my way to swim practice!" Yolie exclaimed.

I stopped short. It was Thursday. Yolie had swim practice. I had no one to drive me home.

"You did forget, didn't you Zoe? Zoe? Hello?" I didn't answer and hung up the phone.

On Thursday's Ryan would drive me home. But I wasn't dating him anymore. This meant that I had no one to drive me home. I sat down at a bench and cradled my head in my hands. I suddenly had a huge migraine.

"Shouldn't you have left already?"

My head perked up and I turned around to see Takuya standing behind me, twirling his keys around his finger.

"I don't have a ride." I admitted.

Nice job Zoe! Reveal to him that you're pathetic and that you forgot to get a ride home.

"I could drive you." He offered nonchalantly.

This was weird. Why would he want to give me a ride home? Don't be stupid, accept it. He's just trying to help, nothing else. That was what I told myself as I slowly nodded and grabbed my bag. He led me to his sleek new black mustang and I got into the passenger side. The car still smelled new. He started the engine and sped off. The ride was silent as we started out but soon we got into a conversation.

"So you run track right?" He asked.

"Um, yeah." I replied, even though I wanted to say "You saw me running track when you almost frigging tripped me with your soccer ball."

"You're really fast. How long have you been running?" He asked.

"Since I was like five." I replied.

"No wonder why you're so fast." Takuya grinned.

I smiled and nodded.

"Um, are you hungry? Maybe we can stop at a fast food place or something?" He asked.

"Come to think of it, I am sorta hungry. I just don't have any money." I said.

"I'll pay for it. We can just stop at the drive-thru." Takuya said.

He turned left and pulled into the drive-thru. I slurped at my soda and chewed my French fries while Takuya gulped down his drink and shoved French fries into his mouth. I giggled slightly and he looked at me.

"What's wrong?" He asked, mouth still full of food.

"You seem really hungry." I laughed.

He smirked as he turned his attention back to the road. We talked more and he told me about soccer. He said that he was a striker. Before we knew it, we had reached my house.

"Thank you for driving me home." I said.

"It's fine, any time." He replied.

I grabbed my bag and opened the car door, climbing out.

"Zoe, wait." He called.

I turned around to him and he shuffled nervously. Takuya Kanbara was nervous? I'm not getting a good feeling about this.

"I was, uh, wondering if you maybe wanted to go out with me on Friday?" He asked.

My mouth would have hung open and my eyes would have widened but I kept myself under control. I wanted to say yes, I really did. But I knew his reputation, every girl did. And after what happened with Ryan, I don't think I'm ready. I had given up on love.

"I-I um, sure."

What is wrong with me? Why did I just say yes?

"Great! I'll pick you up at eight." He smiled at me and drove away.

I walked into the house feeling confused. Why did I say yes? Maybe it was because I didn't want to hurt his feelings? I refused to even think that I still liked Takuya. I just didn't want him to think that I had taken advantage of him with the car ride home.

Why would I do that? I know he's gonna break my heart. He broke the hearts of all of the girls that went out with him, including one of my best friends. It was so obvious that he was just gonna do that to me too.

Suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket and my eyes widened. I forgot to call Yolie! I frantically dug around my pocket and grabbed my phone.

"Hello?" I said.

"ZOE! I am so mad at you! I,"

"YOLIE! I have a huge problem. You've gotta come over here right now!" I exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"I have a date with Takuya Kanbara."
