Hikari's P.O.V.

The next day I decided to go talk to a girl who knew a thing or two about love. (Okay, maybe love was not the right word to use about my situation. I probably just got all warm and tingly because I was sick or something like that... Hm, or maybe not).

I finally arrived at the sportscenter where she trained most of the time. I saw her walk out from the tennis field in her tennis uniform, which my brother loved. And which Yamato loved. But then again, they loved girls in uniforms generally. I wonder why.

"Hey, Hikari!" Sora said when she saw me. Then I refocused on what was going on around me. "Sora!" And then I blocked. I stood there, smiling like an idiot, without saying a thing.

Speak, god damnit! She looked at me, one brow lifted.

"Ehm... Hikari? Do you have something you want to tell me?" She said with a little smile. Okay, so I realised by looking at that smile, that she had probably guessed the subject I was gonna put on.

"I... Eh... Yesterday. It was Takeru's birthday. I... I offered him a gift and-and... He-said-it-was-his-best-gift-and-and-and...!"

"Okay, relax, Hikari. Breathe." She laughed and put her hand on my shoulder. I could feel I was blushing again. Damnit. I tried to breathe and calm down.

"He's just so sweet!" I blurted. I couldn't control myself.

"It runs with the family..." She answered, quiet, with a dreamy expression. And then we both giggled, until I realised what she just had said. "It runs with the family..." Like... WHAT THE FUCK? What did she mean by that?

"Huh? What?" I asked, while starring at her, like she was the first redhead I had ever seen in my life.

"Heeh. Nothing." She said smiling at me. "I'm gonna go change. You can stay if you want to talk some more." She blinked at me before going to the locker rooms.

I just stood back totally clueless. Did she have a crush on Yamato? Why on the boy who I have had a crush on since I was 6? (Yes, I know. Having a crush on your big brothers best friend. How cliché).

I was totally over that, but still. Crush on my big brother, or something, whatever. (Actually, crushing on my big brother... Ew!)

Now I felt like in a big dilemma. And I didn't even know why. I mean, I came there to talk with her about Takeru. But still... Why him? Why had she chosen Yamato? Taichi had been in love with her since they were, like, tiny. It made me feel bad for Taichi. For an instant I could feel it hurt in my stomach, thinking of how Taichi would react, when he knew. Knew that the girl he had been chasing around for years had fallen for his best friend. (And best rival).

Hm. I wonder if Yamato would even be interested in her. She doesn't seem like his type.

And then I realised that I actually didn't know what "his type" was. I mean, I had seen him with girls. I'm very certain that he isn't inexperienced. Hum-hum. But I don't think he has ever been like, the type to have a girlfriend. I had always wished that I would be the exception. I couldn't help but smile at the thought.

"Hey, you coming?" Sora said. I looked up at her. She was dressed in a short jean skirt, a red, tight t-shirt, brown leather boots and a black belt.

Huh? Has she always been so pretty?

"Yeah, I'm coming. You, eh, look really good." I said.

"Thank you!" She smiled at me, with one of those warm, motherly smiles of hers.

We walked into a little café closeby. When we both had our cokes in front of us, and both had been quiet for a while, she broke the silence.

"So, Takeru, huh? Tell me all about." She looked curious. I sighed. Here we go.
