Tai was sitting in a white room it had the fragrance of shampoo. He looked over to the floor as he anxiously awaited..
beep
Tai flipped his cell phone open and a smile appeared on his face and even his eyes seemed to glisten. A faint laugh came out of his mouth, but he wasn't laughing at anything funny. It was more of a happy nervous laugh. A short girl with brown hair was observing him and his reaction. She too began to smile; she then nudged Tai and said,
"Tai are you texting Sora again?"
Tai snapped out of his bubble and landed right back to the hair salon scene.
"Uh whatever gave you that impression Kari?"
"Oh.. because you always look love stricken whenever you text or talk to Sora."
"I do not! Name at least one time."
" Like just now when you were texting her! and i remember crystal clearly that time you guys got in a fight and you wrote her that letter," Kari took a deep breath and cleared her throat and began to mimic Tai, " What's a few rain drops between friends? Love Tai.. I mean from!! I mean love… I mean!!" She then made a droppy face as if she were confused.
Tai lifted up his eye browse and said,
" You didn't have to mimic me so well... and how come you remember that scene line by line? You know me too well. "
He then embraced Kari in a hug and he started to tickle her. "
Oh Tai I am your sister. Of course I know you well." Kari looked up as a lady approached the both of them.
"Tai Kamiya? You are next." Kari nodded for him to go.
" I'll be sitting right here. I have my book and my cell phone to keep me occupied."
"Ok, but are you sure you don't want to stay with mom and dad at the party getting ready."
"No way mom will just complain about me reading and besides I wanted to spend time with you."
Tai nodded ok and went over to the seat the lady had gestured him to go. She began to shampoo his hair and that's when he felt his phone vibrate with anther text message. Tai immediately reached for his phone.
"Owee! That's my eye you put soap in!"
"I told you not to move. Your going to have to check that text some other time unless you want more shampoo in your eye."
Tai looked really sad and put his cell phone back into his pocket. He then began to tap his fingers as a waited for the lady to finish shampooing his hair so he could read what Sora wrote to him.
"Would you stop tapping your fingers on the table? Its rather distracting and annoying. I am almost done with your hair and then you can read your text."
Tai did as the lady said only to speed up the process. It seemed like she was taking her time on purpose. As soon as she was done Tai whipped out his phone and read the text message.
" Awe you moved already? I was hoping to spend New Years with you. It's not the same with out my best boy around. I miss you tai!"
Tai blushed he was a shade of hot pink. He then sat over at the seat where the lady was about to cut his hair. As he waited for the lady to come back he text Sora back,
" I miss you too. A whole lot. I wanted to spend New Years with you too.. but my parents insisted that we move at the new year as a fresh start. I miss the scent of your hair and your cute little smile and your button nose.. I miss the way you laugh and the way you make me want to run laps all around the field.. you make me feel carefree and happy. When you smile it makes me smile. When i see you squint your nose and pucker your lips when your goofing around is the most cutest thing in the world to see. and no gem, pearl or gold is worth as much as your shine. Sora you are the best thing in my life and now your gone. You mean the world to me. You will always have a place in my heart. I'll be your guardian angel no matter what part of the world I am in. There are no words that express your radiant shine or your beauty." Tai shock his head..
"Damn
it. I didn't mean to text all that. I am thinking too much of Sora.
All my inner thoughts are just coming out."
"So young
man! What kind of hair cut do you want?"
Tai got startled by the lady popping out of no where. He nearly dropped his phone and as he grabbed hold of it so it wouldn't fall but to Tai's dismay something dreadful was about to happen (well for him anyway.)
He accidentally pressed the send button as he grabbed hold of his phone.
"Oh NO!! She's going to read what i wrote.. Maybe if i said Kari was playing a prank.. yeah that's it.. And Lady Do you mind not popping out of no where! You startled me in my private thoughts!"
"UH.. young man, the bathroom if you need is over there." She pointed out to her right, " And we have play boy bunny if you need too."
Tai turn a bright shade of red and yelled, "Not those kind of private thoughts!"
"Tai don't you dare get me involved. It's about time you let her know what you think about her! She can finally become my sister."
"What?!"
"
I know what you were thinking by your scared expression you were
going to tell Sora that i had your phone and cranked her.. She
wouldn't buy that Tai. She knows I'm not a prankster. You always
end up sending the wrong thing but in reality it's the right
thing.."
" Shouldn't you be reading?"
Kari giggled and said,
" Ok i'll leave you alone then in your private thoughts.. even though the whole world knows about them."
Tai took a deep breath in and was about to text Sora an apology of what he wrote until; he was once again interrupted
" Uh. Young man? Your hair?"
" Oh right I am sorry Miss.. Can you please just trim an inch?"
"Sweetie you need more than an inch cut off. Its starting to weight down. You'll have longer hair then your sister."
" Hey! I like my hair just the way it is. Back in the 80's guys had longer hair then mine.."
The lady shrugged her shoulder and she began to snip away.
Over at Sora's house
She had her music turned up high and she was laying on her back on her bed, throwing around her tennis ball at the wall. She missed all her friends. Everyone seemed to be leaving to America and she was stuck at the house with Yolie, Ken, Izzy, and Davis. It's not like she didn't enjoy their company but it just wasn't the same as being around Tai, Matt, Mimi, T.k. and Kari. She was really close to all of them. She missed the way Tai smelled and the way he would look at her and smile. She missed the way he would hold her and hug her. She most of all missed the way he would always make her laugh and not to mention he was always there for her no matter when and where and what time he was always by her side. She thought even more about him, He had cute dimples and boy oh boy did he have a hot body. She then sighed out loud.. If only she had noticed all of that before she got with Matt.
I can't believe i picked Matt over Tai on christmas.. If only i weren't such a blind fool. She thought to herself
"Sora
whats wrong?"
"Oh nothing Yolie.. just thinking about
stuff."
Come to think of it Sora thought to herself again.. She didn't really like Yolie at all.. and sadly all she had left was Izzy and Ken.. and she supposed Davis. He is funny at times. Sora turned to Izzy.
She shook her head and put her head in the pillow
"
Should of known you would be playing trigonometry trivia."
"Sora..
that was in my freshman days.. I play trivia of Physics now." He
smiled very big and began to hum.
Sora hit her forehead. Ken began to snicker at her.
" Please tell me you want to get out of the house and play soccer or something."
Ken smiled at Sora and replied,
" Ha, sure i'd love to play soccer with you... sure beats.. uh."
Ken looked at Izzy typing away on the computer. He then glanced over at Yolie polishing her nails. And he turned to Davis who had fallen asleep watching Gossip girl since Yolie didn't allow anyone to change the channel not even Sora.
Ken sighed
"it
Beats all of this."
Izzy looked over at Ken for a second and
said,
" Hey i thought you liked the online games."
" I do.. but i like to do other things as well. I mean i can play that at home anytime."
Sora got up from her bed and said,
"Come on Izzy lets play soccer for old time sake."
Izzy tilted his head and looked out the window. He then did some calculations,
"Ok looks like I'll take the left side of the field and well i'll do more calculations when we get outside."
"Hey no fair! that's cheating." Sora yelled out
" No it's not right Ken?"
Ken began to laugh at the both of them and shook his head in disbelief..
" You guys are too much, Izzy calculate in your head.. You know very well when you do that out loud it intimidates people. Sora's on my team."
Yolie nearly knocked over her nail polish,
"What?! I thought it'd be on your team."
Ken wanted to shoot himself in the head right then, he was beginning to get really annoyed with Yolie,
"Maybe next game Sora asked me to play first. Keep it down before you wake Davis.. You know how aggressive he gets and won't call it a night until he makes at least one goal from me..."
Yolie crossed her arms and began to make a pouting face,
"well it's okay i'll be on Izzy's team and we'll cream you! He's a lot more handsomer then you"
"Dream on Sora is a really good player and they didn't call me the rocket for nothing... Handsomer? thats not even.. oh never mind."
Yolie rolled her eyes and just stood next to Izzy who was trying to keep his distance from her. Last time they playe don the same team she nearly kissed him because she was so happy they made a play plan.
Sora was kicking around the ball and as she passed it over to Ken he phone vibrated and she quickly reached in her pocket. She was waiting what seemed like an hour for his reply..
"took him long enough."
She opened her phone and read the text to herself.
"" I miss you too. A whole lot. I wanted to spend New Years with you too.. but my parents insisted that we move at the new year as a fresh start. I miss the scent of your hair and your cute little smile and your button nose.. I miss the way you laugh and the way you make me want to run laps all around the field.. you make me feel carefree and happy. When you smile it makes me smile. When i see you squint your nose and pucker your lips when your goofing around is the most cutest thing in the world to see. and no gem, pearl or gold is worth as much as your shine. Sora you are the best thing in my life and now your gone. You mean the world to me. You will always have a place in my heart. I'll be your guardian angel no matter what part of the world I am in. There are no words that express your radiant shine or your beauty."."
Sora's mouth dropped. She re-read the text over and over again. Was she reading wrong? That is the most sweetest she had ever heard.
I must be dreaming.. This is too good to be true... How can he still like me after i went with his best friend.. Or maybe he means it in a friendship way.. after all Tai is a really sweet and caring person. He has a lot of girls that like him because of his charm and cute face. Tai, Why did you have to move?
Her eyes began to tear up and she couldn't help but smile with joy. Even if he did mean it in a friendship way. It is by far the sweetest thing anyone has ever told her.
"Sora heads up!!"
Sora snapped out of her Trans and looked up. The Soccer ball was heading right towards her. She was frozen in thought and couldn't move out of the way in time. Ken ran over to her and blocked off the ball.
" Oh my goodness thank you Ken you are a life saver."
"No problem.. You have to be more careful though. When you are playing soccer you can't daydream.."
" I am sorry had gotten a text message and.."
she stopped herself from saying anymore. She felt so alone with no one to talk to. Sure she had other friends but the ones she would tell everything to was Mimi and Kari. And neither one was around.. and she couldn't call them because her mom would be mad if she made a long distant call.
" What's wrong Sora?"
"
Oh nothing Ken.. Just a lot on my mind."
" Yeah? You
want to unload your mind?"
"Oh no..I couldn't trouble you with this.."
" Sure you can try me.."
" It's girl stuff.."
"OH... Talk to Yolie.."
" Are you kidding me?"
" Well just talk to me then. I am your gay friend."
" What your gay?"
" No not at all, i just said that to maybe make you feel more comfortable."
Sora began giggle. Maybe Ken can be her closer friend. He knows how to be real laid back and serious when he needs to be.
" Hello?! are we still playing?"
Ken rolled his eyes,
" That girl.. If she were the only girl around i woul seriously consider turning gay.." he said silently to Sora.
" We are taking a 10 minute break. I am thirsty."
Ken put in arm around Sora and lead her to the kitchen where they could talk more privately without Yolie trying to get involved.
"
Izzy!! I thought Ken liked me!! why is he all over Sora?!"
"
Yolie relax. Sora and him are just friends."
"How can you say that?! Look at them!"
" He is dating someone."
"what?! since when.?"
" You didn't know? heh.. hehhh...gotta go."
Izzy then left and ran to Sora's room.
" Oh well, if Ken has someone then i'll just have to go for Mimi.. i mean Izzy."
