An Unfolded Surprise

Chapter Two - The Mystery Guy

(Here is where I left off)

"ILS YMI. Your secret..."
"Excuse me?"

Then the person on the other line hung up. I was trying to think who could have possibly been that "mystery guy". I mean nothing special has come yet. Suddenly I found a mysterious flyer laying around my spotless floor. I quickly unwraped it and read the note.

Dear Sora,
I know you might be wondering how this got here but I have something to tell you. Ever since you came here, you where that typical girl next door. All through these years I've been hiding something. You might be wondering who this is. When we meet at the Christmas party, then I'll come through the doors at exactly three o'clock p.m. I'll show up with a special something on my hand and I will think it will surprise you on what it is. So that's it for now. Later Sor T. Meet me at the cafe around six if you want.
Always,
Secret...

I took a deep breath after I read the note. I called Mimi again and read her the whole thing.

"So... do you have any idea on who that is?"
"No Meems. Still have no idea. Sor T? Shortie. That's kind of corny. You know what, I'm thinking of meeting him at the cafe. What do you think?"
"No Sor, just to make sure he's not a rapist or whatever, take a look outside the window of the Odaiba cafe to check who it is. Alright? I mean I really don't want to loose my bestestest friend. If you want, I'll go with you."
"Okay. I'll have company."

I hung up the phone and listened to some music. It was quarter to six and I take about five minutes to get to the cafe. So I'll get in the car in five minutes just to make sure. All of the sudden, Mimi called me again and asked me if she can go with me to the StarBuck's cafe.

"Soooo... can I?" Mimi asked.
"Sure, why not. I mean at least I'll have some company while I'm there."
"Yeah. I'm your best friend after all so what could possibly happen?"

I headed to my car with the note on my hand. Just in minutes, I parked and saw Mimi waiting for me at the entrance of the cafe. I locked my car and headed to her. She was looking through the window of the cafe to see any familiar faces. Mimi had this confused look on her face. I entered the cafe with her and looked around. It was six sharp and no one was there besides Mimi, me, and three other guys. Meanwhile, Matt barged in and just said, "hey." to us as if we don't exist. Could it be Matt? I mean seriously, nothing really happened so far. ILS is not his initials, neither is YMI. Well, it might be, I mean there might be things about Matt that I might have known before. There could be secrets hiding behind the blond hair of his. I know he can play the guitar, sing, and practically get every girl in the school to fall in love with him, but just maybe there's something that he's hiding from me.

I walked up to Matt asking him some questions. He had a troubled look on his face as if he knew nothing about what I was talking about. So I guess that he's not the one who gave me the present. Later, a mysterious box appeared at my table. I called out to Mimi and we sat there staring at it.

"Well... aren't you going to open it? Here let me read the tag." Mimi said starting to read the tag, "To Sora, I know this is a mystery but I just want to say that your the prettiest girl in the WORLD and I would do anything to make you happy. Awwww... that's so sweet."
"Huh, do anything to make me happy? Well he could've revealed himself instead of giving me these secret presents, which is kind of fun so far."

I tore open the present and lifted a pink carebear. OMG, this is like the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.

Flashback
I grabbed hold of my mom's hand when she was lying in bed. I know she was suffering every second and I was there for her 'til the end. Her last words were, Sora take care of Candy for me and if you have a problem, she will be your blanket to cuddle. Promise me dear that you will not loose her and she will guide you through the right things. She gave me the pink carebear and the moment I touched the bear, I felt no pulse. Tears suddenly came down my cheek. That was the end of my mom.
Five months later...
Where is it? Where is it? I looked all over the house trying to find her. Candy. Where is she? Then I realzied something. I lost Candy! Mom was right, Candy was a special friend. Now, I lost her. It's over.
Flashback over

"Sora... are you okay?" Mimi wondered.
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
"Then why are you crying? Oh, I remember."
"Yeah, I'll name this one Flower, since my mom worked at a flower shop. Wait Meems, there's another note inside." I said wiping off my tears.

Dear Sora,
You remember Candy? Well this might be her sister. I know it was a tragic moment loosing your mother like that. I was right there beside you. Well practically all of your friends were. The moment you lost Candy made me feel like I should do something about it. So here it is. An almost exact twin of Candy. You could name it whatever you want. It's yours to keep now. I know it's been a long time since the incident happened (almost two years), but this Christmas will be special. Six more days and I'll reveal myself. You'll just have to wait and see. Sooner than you know it, I might be right beside you when you need me. But for know, try not to loose this memorable gift from you one and only...
ILS - YMI

Matt sat down for a moment with us and asked, "hey, what you reading?"
"A note from a secret admirer of Sora." Mimi said.
"Well that's nice. So, did you find out who it is?"
"No not yet Matt. Six more days and I'll see him." I explained.
Matt took a peek at the note that layed on the table. "Sooner than you know it, I might be right beside you when you need me."
"Yeah, I just want to know who it is. The mystery guy. And the part where, I was right there beside you. Well practically all of your friends were part. Well it might be a possibility of you, Tai, Joe, Izzy, or Ken. Let's narrow it down. Ken and Tai already have girl friends so that leaves Matt, Joe, and Izzy."
"Wow, me? Well, sorry to say this but it's practically dumb for you two to notice that ILS means I Love Sora. I mean guys do that all the time if their the secret person. Seriously, trust me. I'm not the guy. I just know by my instincts." Matt replied.
From there, Matt left handing me two tickets to his concert tomorrow.
"Hey Meems, was it kind of weird that Matt actually knows what ILS means? Maybe he's the one who is the you know, the mystery guy." I whispered.
"Yeah, it was. Let's ask Joe and Izzy if they come up with the same answer. Then, if the two of them are stumped, then maybe. Matt is really the mystery guy."
"Great idea. No wonder your my best friend. Okay so let's call them."
I grabbed my cell phone and dialed Joe's number while Mimi dials Izzys'. "Hello? Is this Joe?"
"Yes, this is he. Who's this?"
"Sora of course. Okay I got a question.""
"Alright, what is it?"
"See I've gotten these notes and presents from a mystery guy and wondered if you can unscrammble it."
"Sure why not. What are they?"
"Well, it's ILS YMI. Got any ideas?"
"If it's a mystery guy giving you love letters and stuff well doesn't ILS mean I Love Sora and probably YMI is the guy's initials."
"Thanks. See you at Matt's concert."
I hung up the phone and began a new conversation with Mimi. "Soooo... what did Izzy say?"
"Well he said that ILS means I Love Sora."
"So did Joe. I guess guys really do have this brotherly thing of theirs. But Joe said something about YMI being the guy's initials. Could that be possible?"
"I guess so Sor. We'll give it a shot. Izzy starts with an I, so it's not him. Joe starts with a J, so it's not him either. Matt starts with a M, so it can't be him."
"Wait, remember. Matt is not Matt's real name. What if it starts with a Y. Do you want to call him?"
"Sure, lets give it a shot."
I called Matt and he said honestly that his first name is Yamato. Wow, I never knew that. The clues were starting to work and I'm sure it was him. Maybe in the concert, the clues lies in one song.
"Yeah Meems. His first name starts with a Y. It must be him. Matt is just trying to trick us."
"Hey, here's a thought. What if it's somebody else. Like another Yamato. There's plenty in our school and I bet that some of them knows about the incident that happened years ago."
Mimi was not her anymore. When it comes to mystery guys, she's the girl to call for. All of the sudden, she pulls out the Odaiba High School year book from her bag. How come she carries that around? Oh well, at least it's helpful enough.
"Okay Meems, try to look for boys with the last name that begins with the letter I." I told her.

She flips the pages until it reaches section I for Junior. There were actually six Yamato's that we knew that has the last name that begins with an I. No wonder the teachers at our school gets confused. After we left the cafe with all of our stuff, I headed out to the parking lot to get in my car. I knew I was expecting a gift from the mystery guy, but there was just another note.

Hey,
So I see that your putting the clues together and seeing if I'm the guy you think I am. Well lets just see about that. Meet me at the concert tomorrow and on the first seat on the first row, there will be something special for you. You just wait.

Like it so far? Review please... I'm like starting on the third chapter so stick around.
