A Friday Together With You
I got up early and dashed out of my room. Today was Friday, I couldn't get much sleep since what happened last night. Yama appearing in front of my dorm room and asking me to go somewhere with him after school today was not in my list of plans. It was such a surprise that I thought he was kidding. I still couldn't believe what happened and I think he was a bit surprised too….
Flashback….Last Night….
I was seated in front of my desk. I've just finished studying my lessons for the day and I was currently absorbed in a chat with Meems, Kari and Yolei. This was another one of our bonding moments, it was just us again tonight, no guys included. We were in the middle of our conversation and I was still worried about Yama at the time.
Meems: So…he still isn't talking to you?
Sor: No, I've been trying to get to him, but he seems to be avoiding me and the worst part of it is Tai's being a little distant too.
Kari: I'm sure that everything's going to be fie Sor, you'll see. : ) Just smile!
Sor: That's way easier said than done Kari, it's not easy when your in the middle of it all and your best friend is starting to avoid you too. Not to mention, you have no idea why.
Meems: You shouldn't ponder on it too much Sor. Do what Kari says and smile! You never know, they might be hiding something good from you, like a surprise or something of that sort.
I didn't know if she knew something I didn't and she was giving me hints about it, or she just wanted to try and cheer me up. I had this weird feeling that said it was a little bit of both….
Sor: I guess you have a good point there. Not like anything's going to happen when I start sulking…
Meems: Now that's exactly what I want to hear! : )
Sor: Thanks guys : )
Kari: Yay! She's smiling again!
The three of us chatted a bit more and then a few moments later, I heard a knock on the door. I excused myself from the chat and told Kari and Meems that someone was there and that I'd be back after I go and look at who it might be.
I walked to the door, and I as I opened it I saw Yama standing there in front of me and I was a bit shocked.
"Yama? What are you doing here?" I asked him with a confused look "Did you just come back from school?"
"Um…yeah. The guys and I had band rehearsals and we just about finished." He told me
"Oh…uh so, what brings you here?" I asked
"Um…say Sora, do you know about the half-day classes that were issued tomorrow?" He asked and I just nodded, and I still didn't know where this was going.
"Yes, Tai told me yesterday." I replied. I remember Tai telling me when I was walking down the halls with Cassie. He said something about the teachers having an important meeting of some sort.
"I was wondering…do you have any plans?" He asked and he sounded a bit nervous too
"Well…no, not really…why?" I asked him
"I-you see if…If you don't have any plans…I was wondering…if you and I could spend the day together tomorrow after school…" As those words came out of his mouth I couldn't believe it and I seriously thought it was some kind of joke.
I stared at him for a moment and then I asked "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, you know just the two of us…as friends…" I stayed silent for a minute and I think he got some kind of idea that I didn't want to go… "But if you don't want to, it's cool."
"N-no…it's nothing like that. It was just…well you caught me off guard that's all…" I told me
"So…um…" Before he could tell me anything else, I beat him to it for a change "I'd love to spend the day with you Yama. It could be fun, just the two of us…as friends. You and I can get to know each other."
He stared at me wide-eyes for a moment and asked "Really?"
"Sure, I'd be more than happy to." I told him and gave off a smile and he soon smiled back.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then?" he asked and I nodded
"Okay, see you Yama. And have a good night." I greeted him
"You too Sora." With that I closed the door to my room and went back inside.
When I was again alone in my room, I crashed down at the chair and let out a Buzz in the chat we were having. Soon Meems and Kari were back and started typing and asking me all sorts of questions.
Meems: So? Who was at the door? It took you quite a while so it must have been someone important. ; )
Sor: Well…it was Yama. He dropped by that's all…
Meems: Ah, so I was right! It was someone important.
Kari: What did Yamato talk to you about Sor? Is it okay to share?
Sor: It's fine, but it wasn't anything big. He just…well we have half day classes tomorrow right?
Meems: Yup, Tai told us. Why what's with that?
Sor: He just asked me if I was free and all. He said he wanted to hang out.
Kari: Really? That's great! I'm happy for you!
Meems: So…you two are going to "hang out"? With whom?
Sor: Well…just the two of us I guess….
Meems: Then let me be the first to tell you that it's not hanging out. You're going on a date!
Sor: N-no! It's nothing like that! He and I are just, well we're spending time together as friends.
Meems: Uh huh…it's going to start as friends. But you never know….it might end differently….
My face started to turn red at this statement. Mimi was at it again and there was no stopping her with this one…
Sor: Meems! Come on, that's just…
Kari: She has a point Sor, you never know what can happen in the future. ; )
Sor: You too Kari?!? T-T
Meems: Look, forget what I said then. If it's making you nervous then just have fun.
Sor: I'm not getting nervous Meems!
Meems: Who so defensive?
I sighed, they were right at a point. I was getting a bit nervous now, but there's no use in pondering about it. I didn't want to get this topic any further so I told them I had to get some rest. I meant part of that, I really was tired. With all the surprises that happened today, who wouldn't be right? Mimi and Kari let me go with a "good night" and "good luck for tomorrow" line. There wasn't much luck to the sleeping part. I was able to get some sleep only after a good 30-45 minutes of pondering about what just happened and I couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow might hold for me, all I could do was to wait and find out for myself….
End of Flashback
School was the same as always today, I met up with Cassie as soon as all our classes were over. It all ended in about 10: 45 am and no one was complaining about that. Classes ended way quicker than we had expected it to end and now we had some spare time to ourselves. We were inside my dorm room and Cassie and I were spending some alone time together.
"So Sora, you have any plans for today?" she asked me
"Well, I sort of do." I replied
"Really? What are you planning?" she asked me a bit excited. I wasn't worried about telling her I was just hoping she wouldn't react the same way Meems did…
"Well, I was going somewhere with Yama…." Before I even got to finish, she cut me off
"You have some kind of date with Yamato?" she asked me with a huge smile on her face. Well on the bright side, she didn't scream, in surprise.
"He just asked me to spend the day with him and I told him I'd be happy to." I told Cassie
"You are one lucky girl Sora. If Yamato's fans knew about this, they'd do anything and give just about anything to be you." Said Cassie as she was still smiling "I doubt Sasha would be too happy about it though, I actually think that she'd freak out when she hears about this."
"Right, I almost forgot about her." I sighed. If she was that desperate to get me out of her way before, I don't want to even think about how far she'd dare to go now.
"Oops, sorry I didn't mean to remind you of her…" she apologized and I just shook my head and replied "It's not your fault. Besides, I'd most likely see her in school again anyway."
"But you really told her off the other day you know?" smiled Cassie "It's not that I want revenge or anything like that, but she did deserve it for what it's worth. She doesn't own anyone and yet she acts like she does."
Cassie had a huge point there. Sasha was acting like some queen of the school and that's not supposed to be the case. Besides, wasn't this state a free country? I sighed, even with that point given, she'd surely be mad at me again. But this time I am not backing down on her, she just saved me the urge of wanting to do something more than yell the last time and I can't assure her that the next time would be just as pretty…
Meanwhile in the Music Room….
Yamato's P.O.V.
We just finished rehearsals for today; we've been rehearsing a lot lately since we have a lot of new songs to work on. We're going to be playing at this years JS Prom this upcoming year. We wanted to be prepared so we do this rehearsing thing a lot these days. I called off rehearsals early and told the guys I had to leave.
"Woah, what's the rush?" asked Takashi. I haven't told them about today so they were a bit surprised that I needed to go.
"Yeah, you have any plans?" asked Yutaka while fixing up the drums
"Actually, I do. I was able to pull off what you guys wanted me to do and I'm going somewhere with Sora today…" I told them as I packed out my stuff
"…" There was a bit of silence in the room and then someone spoke and broke it all. "Way to go Yamato! You actually asked her out for real?!?" asked Takashi
"That's good to hear Yamato, hope you have a good time today." Said Akira with a smile
"He will Akira. I doubt that he'd be bored, especially since it's Sora." Teased Yutaka and I sighed "Knock it off you guys. We're just going to spend the day together that's it."
"Sure it is. Tai is going to be so happy in hearing this." Said Takashi. Speaking of Tai…where was he?
As if reading my mind Akira answered my question "If you're looking for Tai, he's with Mimi and the others. We'll be meeting them at the mall soon. I told him we'd catch up after rehearsals."
"And what about T.K? Where'd he go?" I asked. Aside from Tai, I haven't seen my brother anywhere. It was making me wonder about his whereabouts at the moment.
"That we do not know. We haven't see T.K. around either. We thought you knew where he was." Said Takashi and I shook my head. I had no idea where he was.
"I'll just give him a call later, I'm sure he went somewhere with his friends." I told them. T.K. would never do anything else, he would usually run off at times so this was nothing new, but I did hope he could have at least given me a call. He was still my little brother and no matter how much I don't treat him like a kid anymore, I still have the right to worry.
I said my goodbye's to the guys and headed to place my guitar back to my dorm room. When I got inside my dorm, I saw a slip of paper on the floor. I picked it up and opened it. "Whoever left this must have slipped it under my door…." It read:
Yamato,
Hey, just wanted you to know that I went to the mall on my own today. I was bored so I decided to go and take a look around the place. I'm with some of my friends from the school basketball team. If ever you need me just give me a call okay? Just thought you wanted to know where I might be before you start looking for me. By the way, Good luck with your date with Sora : ) I'm rooting for you bro! Go get her! :D
T.K : )
I stared at the piece of paper for a while and then it finally hit me. T.K's at the mall with his friends and didn't bother to inform anyone else. Of course, how could I have not thought of that… I sighed and placed the paper on my desk. There was this part of that letter that got to me. "Was T.K. seriously considering this as a date? And how did he know that Sora said yes to begin with?" It made me wonder and then the thought that he was going to the mall was another thing. "Didn't the guys say that they'd be going to the mall with Tai and the other today?"
I shrugged off the thought and then I walked out of my room. I headed straight for Sora's dorm room. Once I got there, I knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it, hoping that Sora was already there.
Sora's P.O.V.
I was still talking to Cassie when I heard a knock on the door. Cassie turned to me and then she smiled and spoke "Looks like your waits finally over. I bet that's Yamato already." She told me
I simply nodded and went to the door to open it. Cassie was right Yama was right there. He smiled and asked "Hey, you ready to go?"
"Um…yeah, j-just give me a second." I went back inside my room and saw Cassie there as she continued to smile
"See? What'd I tell you? It's him isn't it?" she asked and I nodded
"Yeah, it's him." I replied as I got my stuff. My wallet, my cell phone and all my other necessities and placed them inside a small bag.
Cassie walked with me to the door and then Yama spotted her "Hey Cassie, didn't know you were here." He told her
"We just had a little chat that's all. Well, I better go, see you later Sora." She told me, but before she went away, she whispered "Break a leg."
As Cassie left Yamato turned back to me and asked "Shall we go?"
"Um…yeah sure…" I replied with a smile
We walked out the dorm and into Yama's car. We sat there in silence for a while and then I asked "Mind if I know where we're possibly headed?"
"I thought we could go to this café near here. I regularly spend my time there whenever all the guys have plans. Besides, I'd like to treat you to lunch. Is that okay?" he asked me
"Sure thing, I'm not the one to complain. I'll go anywhere." I replied with a smile.
"That's going to make it easy for me to take you to places then. Just tell me if you want to go somewhere alright and I'll drive us there." He told me
"I can't do that, this is your car, your gas, remember? That'd just be rude, besides I finished all my needed errands so you're the one to make the decisions this time because I honestly didn't plan anything." I told him
He laughed a bit and spoke "It's nice to hear you worry about my gas bills, but I'd rather have it that you have a good time. That way I wouldn't mind paying for anything as long as you're happy."
I blushed at that. "Did he mean that or was he just teasing." Either way, that was nice that he's worried weather or not I'll have a good time. I smiled and spoke "I think I'll have a good time, I didn't think anyone could ever be bored around you."
"Why thank you, but let's wait and see if what you claim is true shall we?" He smiled back.
Soon the car pulled over and parked at a small café a few blocks away from the school dorm. I looked out the window and noticed that were only a few people inside. I opened the door and walked out as Yamato locked the car doors. We walked together inside and he opened the door for me.
He talked to the waitress and we were seated near the far end of the café, he pulled the chair for me to sit down and he sat down right across form me. We ordered whatever it was that we wanted to eat and as the waitress left, he and I were alone again.
"Someone was being a gentleman wasn't he?" I asked as I looked at him
"Of course, I have to be in front of a lady. Besides, you didn't let me open the door for you when you were inside the car so it's payment." He told me with a smile
"Right." I replied with a light giggle
"You can't blame me can you?" he asked me "So, do you like this place so far?"
"Yeah, it's really nice. I was wondering why there were a few people though. It's really relaxing here." I told him as I glanced around the café.
"Well, it's a bit hidden so a few people come here. That's why I came here a lot when I have no other place to go." He replied "But that's not what I meant. I was wondering if you were getting used to living here in the states."
"Oh that. It's still a bit different from Japan, but it's still a nice place to live in. Why do you ask?" I asked him
"Nothing much, I just wanted to know if you liked it here." He told me
"I do, you guys are here and not to mention I'm having a lot of fun so it's never boring." I told him. And the fact that my friends flew all the way across the other side of the word to get here was another plus side.
Yama smiled, soon our food arrived and we continued to talk from time to time while eating our meal. "Hey Yamato, I was wondering….Tai told me something about you once…." I started
"What did Tai tell you about me this time?" he asked confused
"It was nothing bad, he told me that you were part French. Is that true?" I asked him
He looked at me for a second and spoke "Well it's partly true. My grandparents are French so I guess that makes me one too. But just a slight one, I don't even know how to speak French."
"Have you been to France then?" I asked
"I have a couple of times. We used to go a lot when we were little kids and my parents were still together. But now, only T.K and my mother get to go." He told me. It made me kind of sad to know and remember that he hasn't seen his mother in quite a while.
"Hey, you don't need to worry about me Sor. It's fine, as much as I do want to see my mother, with all that's been happening with my dad I don't think I can." He told me. He must have noticed my expression earlier.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have butted in with your problems Yama." I told him apologetically
"It's fine, not a lot of people know about my problems. So it's really not that big of a deal." Said Yama with a smile
"By the way, have you seen Tai and the others?" I asked. I didn't remember seeing Tai today at all.
"I heard from he guys that they were headed to the mall after school. That's why I took you here instead of the mall. People would stalk us there." He told me and I laughed a little bit. I could imagine the others spying on us, and it made me smile at the thought of it happening.
"What about T.K.? I haven't seen him either." I told him
"He wet to the mall too. With his basketball friends, he wrote me a letter telling me he'd be heading there." He replied
It made me wonder what would happen if T.K. bumped into Kari for example. "Is it just me or is your brother and Kari getting along rather well?" I asked him
"Oh that, he is a bit well…I can't explain it but yeah, it's possible." He told me "But I wonder how Tai's going to take that."
"That's true, knowing Tai he's going to be shooting daggers at T.K. once he sees him with Kari." We both ended up laughing at this. Nevertheless, the thought did occur that the two could bump into each other. Who knew right?
At the Mall…
Mimi's P.O.V.
I was walking with the others in the mall, particularly with Koushiro and Kari. I was holding on to his hand and it made me feel bad that Kari was left alone with us. Thing is, the guys decided to got o the arcade, Tai met with Cassie and left and the others said they needed to go somewhere. Tai wasn't supposed to leave but Kari insisted that he should go and she'd be fine walking on her own. Tai protested but I told him that Koushiro and I would agree to go with her.
But now, it was as if she was becoming lonely on her own. I couldn't blame her though. I sighed, I felt Koushiro tighten his grip on me and spoke "You okay?" he asked
"Yeah, I just…well, I want Kari to be happier. But all the others left her behind and as much as she doesn't want to admit it she's lonely. I mean, she's been so quite the whole time." I told him looking at Kari who was glancing around the mall.
"That's true, she was left behind since Davis and the others suddenly decided to go elsewhere." Agreed Koushiro
I looked over at Kari again and then I sighed. If only someone was here to spend time with her… A few moments later we stopped near a comfort room, Kari said she needed to go to the ladies room so Koushiro and I waited for her outside. My wishes were answered when Koushiro suddenly spoke a few seconds later.
"Hey, isn't that T.K.? He seems to be walking with some friends of his." He told me
I looked over to the direction he was pointing to and he was right. T.K. was right there! Score! I smiled and he seemed to have noticed us too because a few moments later, he approached us.
"Hey Koushiro, Mimi, what are you two doing here?" he asked
"Well we were here with Tai and the others until all of them suddenly had plans and left." I told him then I looked at him and asked "T.K. are you busy?"
"Nope, not really. My friends and I were just walking around the mall, we were about to head home…why do you ask?" he asked me
"I was wondering if I'd be okay for you to come walk around with us." I asked "You see since the others left, Kari has no one to talk to and although she's not saying anything I have a feeling she's getting really lonely."
He stayed silent for a while and it made me think he'd say no. Soon before he even got the chance to answer, Kari walked out of the comfort room and she spotted T.K. "T.K! What are you doing here?" her voice was happier now and I was really hoping T.K would say yes.
"Hey Kari, um…I was walking with my friends around the mall when I bumped into Mimi and Koushiro." He told her "Um…are you planning on going somewhere? If you aren't I could walk with you around the mall if you want, my friends are about to head home anyway."
I was a bit shocked at that, but I was happy on the inside. Kari smiled, the brightest smile she's ever given out today and spoke "I'd like that, only if it's alright with you though." She told him
T.K. smiled back. "It's no big deal, I'd be happy to." T.K walked over to his friends and bid them goodbye. I could hear some of them teasing him but he just shrugged it off. As his friends were leaving, he went back to Kari and the two of us.
"So, you want to go ahead?" asked T.K.
"Alright." Replied Kari. She turned to face me for a while and asked "Is that okay with you Meems, Koushiro?" she asked us
"It's no big deal Kari, you deserve to have some fun today too you know. Koushiro and I can handle it from here." I told her with a smile
"Thanks Meems." Kari smiled back
"We'll call you when we need to go home. We can meet up in the mall entrance later on." Suggested Koushiro
"Alright, we'll see you guys later then." I told them. They both nodded and as they were about to leave I called "Take care of her T.K. and you two have fun."
They waved at my direction and soon they were gone. Koushiro smiled at me and spoke "So, now what?" he asked "You were able to set them up, how do you think Tai's going to react to this?"
"We can spend the day together too." I smiled at him "And to answer your other question, I'll deal with Tai if anything happens and I think it's going to be fine. He trusts T.K enough doesn't he?" I told him
"I guess that's true, so do you want to go anywhere?" he asked me
"Nope, anywhere with you is fine Koushiro, anywhere is fine." I told him. He and I walked hand in hand. And I couldn't help but think what a nice day this was turning out to be. T.K. was with Kari, Tai with Cassie, Sor was with Yamato somewhere and I was with Koushiro, it couldn't just get any better.
With T.K and Kari
T.K's P.O.V.
Kari and I were walking around the mall and we saw a store that she said she wanted to check. I agreed and it didn't bother me as long as she was happy. We went inside and she was looking at some of the bracelets that were on display. I smiled, I was happy that she was smiling.
"You should try them on. They'd look nice on you." I told her. I was walking right beside her the whole time so I knew which one's she was looking at. Now that I think about it, maybe I could get her one as a gift…
"Thanks T.K. but I think I'll just take a look around for now. There still might be places that you'd want to go to." She told me
"It's fine, you can take your time, I don't mind at all." I told her with a smile "I have nowhere else to go anyway."
She smiled back and continued to look at the displays. I guess a little while later we attracted the attention of one of the sales lady because she soon approached us and asked "Hello there, is there anything I can do for you? We have a lot of these on sale, they'd look nice on you young lady. You can try them if you'd like."
Kari was in shock because she never expected someone to come to her. I answered for her "No thank you ma'am. She came here to take a look at some of the displays, she's a visitor at this country and we happened to pass by and she got attracted to your store. We'd be happy to call for your assistance if ever she'd want something. And thank you for asking."
The lady smiled at me and spoke "It's not a problem at all young man. I'd be happy to assist you at any given time." Then she looked over at Kari "You're so lucky to have such a nice boyfriend."
Kari froze and so did I, my face was turning red and I tried to avoid her gaze. She thought we were a couple? I laughed nervously few seconds later and spoke "I'm sorry, but we're just good friends. We just met a few weeks ago…" I told the lady at the store
"Oh? It looked like you two were together. You seemed to know her already. My apologies…" she told me "I just thought…you two looked so cute together."
"It's alright." This time Kari found her voice and spoke. She smiled at the lady and said it was okay. The lady soon excused herself from us and told us to come back soon. We both nodded and left the store. Kari became a bit silent, we were soon talking again a few minutes later when we were away from the store and we continued to walk around the mall.
Meanwhile with Sora and Yamato
Sora's P.O.V
Yamato and I went to different places for the past few hours. This time he took me to the park near the dorm. It was bigger than a normal park and Yamato said it was because this place was made from an open massive area. He and I sat under the shade of a huge tree at the far end of the park and we were watching the sun go down.
"It was really nice of you to take me here Yama. This place is amazing." I told him with a smile
"I'm glad you liked it." He told me with a smile
"I really had a great time with you, thank you." I said
"I had a great time too. Glad I was able to make you happy today." He told me
"See? I told you no one could ever be bored with you around." He slightly laughed at my comment and I simply smiled.
As the sun was going down I felt a bit drowsy and rested my head on his shoulder. I have no idea why I did that but he didn't seem to mind, or I hoped that he didn't. My eyes began to close for a while and I spoke "Sorry about this, I guess I got a bit tired." I told him
"It's no big deal, just rest for a while if you want." He told me, he placed his jacket over me, one that he got out of his car when we got here, when I began to shiver because of the wind.
"Thanks…" I told him
"Sure thing." He replied
Soon a drifted to a short sleep right beside Yama, and I doubt I'd ever forget this day…ever.
A few moments later I woke up in my bed. I was a bit startled and I didn't know how I got here, another thing was: where was Yama? I soon found a note on my desk and so I unfolded it and it read:
Sor,
I didn't want to wake you up, you were having such a nice nap that I didn't want to break it. I carried you to your room and I found the key in your bag. (P.S. the key was the only thing I took out, nothing more.) I had a great time with you. Thanks a lot for spending the day with me, I don't regret asking you to spend time with me cause I had a blast. Hope you had fun and we could do it again some time. Really happy you accepted my offer, hope you have a good night's sleep. See you tomorrow. Night. : )
Yama
As I read the note, I smiled. I should be the one thanking him. I walked over to my bed and laid down. I wondered what Meems and the others did where they could have gone. As for me though I was happy enough. Before I drifted to sleep again there was one thought that crossed my mind. "Thank you Yama, I had a great time…"
