Tai sat in the chair as he fielded with his thumbs

Chapter 4 The truth pours out

Tai sat in the chair as he fielded with his thumbs. He was very antsy and anxious waiting for a reply from Sora. He was so distracted with getting a reply from Sora that he wasn't paying attention to his hair cut at all.

It's been ten minutes and still no reply!! She's probably laughing at me or maybe she's thinking of a nice way to reject me. This has got to be the most humiliating point in my life .

"Young man if you don't quiet fidgeting your gonna have a bold spot and choppy hair."

Tai gave the lady a glare and stuck a piece of gum into his mouth and began to chew it vigorously. He folded his arms and closed his eyes beginning to loose his mental presence in thoughts of Sora.

Back at Sora's house

" So Ken, the thing is I have, well still currently do like Tai as more then friendship wise. And well as you know he moved to California and we still talk through text messages and he sent me this text today and well I am not sure if he means friendship or he likes me likes me."

Ken got the phone from her hand and began to read the text message Tai had sent. As he finished he looked up and her and pondered for a moment.

" It Seems to me he likes you more then a friend, although I can't imagine why. After you rejected him when he had finally worked up the courage to ask you out and you publicly humiliated him by saying no and going out with his best friend Matt. Talk about a big blow to the heart... I mean wow, if you were looking for your knife it was in his heart.."

" Okay Ken I get it! I screwed up. Nice pep talk I feel real motivated."

Ken began to snicker

" you didn't let me finish my sentence."
" what more can you add to that?"

" Sora would you just let me finish what I started to say. Tai likes you because he sees something special in you. Something he'll never get over. No matter what you do and say he'll always have you in his heart and mind. He fell in great love with you."

Sora began to blush and tear up. "Awe Ken that's so sweet you are really great with words. DO you really think that's how Tai feels about me?"

"Yeah I'm great with analyzing scenarios and.."
"You're a genius?"

"Well that and He may have said some similar words some time ago."
" What? What exactly did he say? And why did you never tell me?"

"Guy talk is confidential; unless they are going to themselves then that's a different story. Beside the point of our topic. I can't specify into detail and actual phrases and words being said."

" Ken tell me!! Please!"
"Nope sorry Sora no can do if you really want to know, you should ask him yourself."

"Fine! I'll just see what he says, but he's away!"

" Just fly over. You liked Ucla didn't you? You can go there it's for school."

" What am I supposed to get the funds to fly out there? I can pay for my schooling because I got excepted and my grant will cover it and I could get a job to pay for food. MY parents would pay for the dorm. Do I ask Yolie's uncle if he could fly me out there?"

" Are you mad? Why dont you just ask for your death wish and write your will right now?? That's like death con 5."
Sora began to laugh so much her stomach began to hurt.

"He drives that bad?"
"Lets just put it this way, I entrust my life with Davis driving me in a submarine then with Yolie's uncle driving that plain. I think he's certificate of flying was fraud made by the airplane camp. You know like in autotopia in Disneyland with the fake driver's license."

Sora ws now rolling on the floor cracking up.

" Ken your funny, but I wouldn't know about the Disneyland thing I have never been there before."

Ken gasped,

" We have one in Japan you know!! I highly recommended you go."

Sora nodded,

"okay I'll take your word for it. So what should I tell Tai when he talks to me?"

"Tai is always making the first move. I doubt he'll tell you anything. He'll cover up by saying he meant it friends wise. It's your turn to make the move."

" Ken even though you are younger then me you give great advice."

" Yeah well I plan to take over Dr. Phil's show cuz he's full of crap."
" really, he needs to learn to shut the hell up."
"No kidding, amazing he suckers in so many people."

"thanks Ken."
Sora embraced him into a hug.

" WE can use Paildramon to get to California. Just tell your mom Yolie's uncle is driving us."
Sora began to smile big and hopped up and down with joy.

" Thanks for coming through for me Ken, You've no idea how much it means to me."
" Tai is my friend I want to see him happy. It's about time you guys hooked up before it's too late."

" What do you mean by that?"

" You broke the guys heart and left him with no hope. There are lost of cute girls in California. He may have great love for you but once he gives up and closes the book, then that is it. It would be over."

Sora looked down,

"Don't want him to give up on me."
"If he hasn't given up by now, don't think he ever will, I'm just saying you should act quickly."
"What should I tell him in the mean time?"
"Say you know what he means; You miss him a lot too. His big hair, the way he makes you laugh exedra."

Sora nodded okay

" You read my mind."

Ken laughed a bit then bit his lip, " Did a bit more then that, I read your text to him that you were going to delete."

Sora blushed even more of a pink shade and she began to reply to Tai's text.

"And also I hear you dream talks."

"what?"

"nothing."

Back outside

Yolie began to survey Izzy.

Izzy is really handsome, nobody really seems to notice Yolie thought to herself.

Yolie wrapped her arms around Izzy and said,

" Thanks for the help in science Izzy. You smart cutie what are you getting in science currently?"
Izzy got out of Yolie's hold and walked away,

" I'm getting an A."
" I was wondering if you could help me with my English outside of science class. It's not as high as it can be for me to get into college."
"Oh, shocker." Izzy remarked sarcastically.

" I know right? Totally weird. At least I'll be marrying well." She said with a chipper tone, not detecting the hint of sarcasm Izzy had.

" And often." Izzy mockery way.
"awe your so sweet." Yolie smiled wide still not realizing Izzy was being sarcastic.
Izzy tried not to snicker and just bit his lip to suppress you slowness.

"so how about English?" Yolie asked enthusiastically.
"What about English."
" No I'm asking, are you getting an A in English."
Izzy huffed out annoyed and rolled his eyes at her and replied

" It's what about English not how about English, maybe if you spoke it."
" Well maybe if you spoke…uh Normal!" Yolie yelled out.

" Just shut up and we'll both get an A on the science project."
" Why don't you shut up and we'll both get D's"
Izzy looked at her puzzled.
"You know what I mean."
"No I don't, and sorry If I'm being a bit rude but I'm not keen on being anyone's rebound."
"Izzy! It's not like that!" she yelled out
" we all know you liked Ken don't come running after me after you found out he has a gf. No way am I going to let you have me as a last resort because Ken doesn't like you back. I mean who exactly so you think you are? Some golden prize that automatically made everyone want you whenever you chose you want to like someone? Well I got some news for you, I am dating someone, I go out and I am not sitting around alone!"
" Really Izzy It's not like that. I liked both of you.I assumed he was single and you as well."
"Don't assume anything. You make an Ass out of U and ME."
" Wow, nice analogy."

" It's a famous quote, Catch it in a lot of my readings I do."

"So will you be my partner in English?"
" Don't you mean torture?"

"What's the difference?"
"About 10 bucks an hour." Izzy added in coldly

Yolie looked mortified at Izzy.

"But you get to spend time with me."

Izzy pondered for a moment and looked like he wanted to laugh.

"Make it 15."

Izzy was fed up with Yolie. She had changed to be more like Mimi she wasn't the smart girl he used to know.
He then walked away leaving Yolie outside looking baffled. Maybe she came out too strongly she thought to herself.

BEEP BEEP.

"Young Man your phone, you can fiddle around as much as you want when I am done."

Tai smiled at the relief of being able to get up. Took longer then usual for a trim cut. He didn't care he just wanted to know Sora's response. He opened his cell phone,

"Tai I feel the same way. I miss the way you make me smile no matter what. I'll call you so you can be the first person I hear on New Year's Day."
Tai was blushing mad. He felt so at ease from hearing from Sora. A weight was lifted, some how even his head/hair felt extremely lighter.

Kari Got up from her seat.

" Finally! The lady took long blow drying and cutting your…"
Her eyes bulged out.

"What Kari?"
"UH TAI. You look nice. It's really different I like it a lot."

Tai dropped his cell at his reflection.
