A few days have gone by and things hadn't really changed. It was mid December and winter was here. It was one week before winter break. Chili winter winds were blowing all around and scarfs and thick coats were everywhere. Taichi hadn't really talked to Mimi and neither has she. He would always try to see her at school but she was always surrounded by guys or James. While Sora wasn't giving him any space at all either. School had become tiresome for Taichi because he couldn't even talk to Mimi. He moaned and groaned every time he made his way to his next class.

There was only one class he felt most at easy and wasn't worried about anything. It was P.E. He and Matt had the same class so they met up after changing in the locker room.

"So I guess we are playing soccer today. I bet your excited." Matt said as he patted Taichi on the back.

"Kind of. I mean the out come will be the same. Since your a horrible player. Just don't be on my team this time ok?" Taichi teased him as they walked up to the soccer field. There waiting for them were Yuko and Kei.

"Hey Matt!" The boy young boys said.

"HEY BOSS!" They yelled out as they ran to Taichi. They clung themselves to his waist while saying words of admiration for him.

Matt and Taichi began to sweat at the back of their heads.

"You think they would get tired of doing this everyday." Matt said as she tried to pry Yuko of Taichi.

"Get off! NOW!" Taichi said as he hit Kei on the top of the head.

"But Boss we miss you!" Yuko and Kei said at the same time.

"This is really starting to get old guys." Taichi said as he started walking inside the field dragging Yuko and Kei with him.

The coach blew the whistle and the game began. Yuko and Kei were on Taichi's team. They didn't play much. Taichi was the one going back and forth playing with all his might. Using every bit of frustration, not even the cold winter could stop him.

"Yuko! Kei! What the hell?! Are you trying to lose?!" Taichi yelled at to them as he tried catching his breath. Yuko and Kei both were only had evil smirks on their faces. Taichi creeped out by them got back into the game.

Yuko suddenly kicked it into gear and stole the ball way from the opposite team.

"One!" He shouted as he kicked the ball to Kei. Kei sprinted to get the ball.

"TWO!" He shouted as he kicked the ball with all his might. Taichi watched the ball as it left the soccer field and landed near the school green house. The coach shout for Taichi to go retrieve the ball. Taichi was angry and he turned to give Yuko and Kei the death stare.

Yuko and Kei at the sight hung on to each other.

"Don't worry boss!" They both said. "We did this for you!" They continued with fear in their voices.

Taichi continued to look for the ball. "Game on!" The coach shouted as he threw in a new ball.

"Damn it why did he have to kick it that far. I swear why do I keep talking to those bone heads!?" He thought. He got closer to the green house and saw a girl getting from from the ground.

"Are you ok?!" He yelled as he rushed over to help her. The girl at the sound of his voice jumped right up.

Taichi got close enough to see that it was Mimi. She got hit right in the face. Her cheeks were puffy and red because of the impact.

"Oh fuck I'm sorry Mimi!" Taichi said. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to curse." He said as he placed his hand on her right cheek. She blushed at his touch. She was so nervous she didn't know what to say. She felt a hot tingling all over body as she got flash backs of her dream. She was embarrassed to have remembered it with his touch.

"Well at least there's no nose bleed this time." He said playfully. She looked to her left trying to avoid eye contact.

"Hey are you alright Mimi? Do you have a concussion?" He asked as he examined her head and body. "No bruises and your not bleeding anywhere.".He said as he placed his hand on his head. "Hmm...I guess you're all right. Wow I should be a doctor!" He said jokingly.

"It's funny how this happened again." She responded. He stopped and focused on Mimi.

"I get hit by a soccer ball and then its you who came to check up on me." She smiled. He smiled in return. She hand her hands right in front of her and held the end of her skirt tight. She wrestled around with her hands while trying to form words in her head. Taichi could see how nervous she was. He placed his hands on her shoulders. Her body jump up in surprise.

"Taichi I have something." She was interrupted by Taichi.

"Don't worry Mimi." He responded. He looked into her eyes and she did the same. She wanted to melt right then and there.

"Everything is going to be alright..." He said softly. She blushed greatly all over her body. She felt as if he understood her effort and what she was trying to say. She felt a relief.

"I doubt you will have any head injuries!" He said happy and obviously as he placed his hands on his hips. She felt like her whole body crack and was smashed into a million little peices. She then realized they were not on the same page.

A few feet away were Yuko, Kei and Matt hidden in a bush outside the green house. They were spying on them. Yuko and Kei soon dropped their bodies to the hard ground at Taichi's statement. Matt grew sweat at the back of his head.

"He's the world's biggest idiot." Matt said as he turned to face his two classmates." Hey you guys alright?" Matt asked as he notice Yuko and Kei on the floor spiraling into deep depression.

"Why is he so stupid?" Yuko asked as he got back up and continued to watch through the leaves.

"It took us weeks to plan this encounter. WEEKS!" Kei shouted as he did the same as Yuko, only louder. Matt soon covered their mouths and shoved them deeper into the bush so they couldn't be seen. Taichi looked over at the sound of the bushes rumbling.

"What was that?" Taichi asked as he looked over towards the bushes. Mimi gave a big sigh. Taichi heard and turned back to face her. She started to laugh.

"Whats so funny? I don't get it." Taichi said with confusion. The boys in the bushes whispered a sigh and continued to watch and were also confused.

"To this day your pretty dumb about girls aren't you Taichi?" She asked playfully. He didn't like to be tease by her. He grew a bit annoyed.

"For all I know I am brain dead because of you. " She teased as she pointed to her head.

His eyes became narrow and started to sweat at the back of his head.

"She still has that bad personality of hers. But she's still cute as ever, even more so in her school uniform." He thought.

"I see you still have that bad personality intact." He said jokingly. They both started laughing and looked into each other's eyes.

*in the bush*
"This is going great!" Yuko whispered with anticipating eyes.

"This is it Boss! Don't fuck this up! SEAL THE DEAL!" Kei whispered after with excitement.

"Shouldn't we be getting back to class? " Matt said as he was peeping the opposite direction of Taichi and Mimi.

"SHUT UP MATT WE CAN"T HEAR!" Yuko and Kei hissed.

"Oh my gosh! I was going to the office for paper work for Mr. Tamaki." Mimi said as she soon remembered why she was out there. Taichi watched as she left. He clenched his fist and ran after her.

"Wait Mimi!" He shouted as he caught her by the hand. She stopped and turned to see Taichi holding her hand firmly but gently. They stood there holding each other's hand.

"Y-yes." She said. She blushed and he did the same. He immediately let of of her and nervously placed it on his head.

"The Christmas Tree lighting is next week..." He stated. His heart beat faster with every word. "Would you go with me?" He asked while he scratched the back of his head.

She turned around quickly to hide her huge smile and happiness. Taichi felt defeat by her quick reaction. Also felt like a great fool for asking.

"Aww great. I'm an idoit! Of course she's going with someone else. Probably that pretty boy James." He thought to himself.

"Pick me up at eight." She said as she began to walk away. His distressed expression turned into extreme happiness. He wanted to jump up in the air and shout out but he contained himself until Mimi left. She turned once again and gave him a lovely smile as she left his sight. After that he began to dance and leap with joy. Yuko and Kei did the same as they leaped from bush.

Taichi turned to them and instantly grew angry.

"We knew you could do it Bo.." They both tried to finish their statement but the sight of angry in golfed with flames Taichi caused them to run for their lives.

"We did it for you Boss." They shouted as they ran away from him. Matt face plam at the every sight of it all. The bell rang for lunch to begin. Taichi was so happy. He changed quickly so he could find Mimi and have lunch with her. He searched everywhere for her. Except her homeroom, which he did not know. "Cheese and rice! How am I going to find her?...Oh wait!" He thought to himself. He pulled out his phone and proceeded in a victory stance. He continued to walk the hall way. "I'm so smart I should of left high school already." He said to himself.

He flipped open his phone and looked for Mimi's number. Right when he had found it he was scared out of his mind.

"HI TAICHI!" Sora leaped out to him. He was so startled his phone flew right out his hand and on to the floor.

"Don't sneak up on me like that!" He said with an annoyed tone. Sora felt bad for putting Taichi in such an angry mood.

"I'm sorry Taichi. It's just I've looked everywhere for you. I brought you lunch." She said with a sad tone of voice. Taichi bent down to get his phone.

"Great the screen in cracked." He said even more angry. She took a couple of steps back away from Taichi. She could sense his intense annoyance of her.

"Taichi I brought you lunch. I'm sorry." She said as she handed him the bento box. He sighed.

"You don't have to make me lunch. You know that. You're not my..." He was interrupted by Sora's lips. He paused and was taken back by it.

"I'm sorry ok. I can get your phone fixed." She said softly as she held his phone in his hand.

Taichi snapped out of it and noticed everyone in the hall had watched what happened. His eyes became narrow and fixed a pond Sora. He leaned in close and whispered into her ear. " You're not my girlfriend." At the end of that sentence she let go of her bento box, which fell straight on the floor. Sora couldn't move or say anything as she watched Taichi walk away. She felt her heart crushed. The sight of him walking further and futher away made her want to break down and cry. She wiped her tearful eyes and continued on.

"I didn't want to do this but I will. Taichi you will be mine." Sora thought as she walked alone.

Taichi went to his homeroom class. He decided to skip lunch all together.

"Maybe I shouldn't have been such a dick. I mean I can't have people telling Mimi they saw her kiss me. Uuugghhhh Why does everything have to be so difficult." He thought to himself.

Class was dismissed and Taichi couldn't wait to get home. He skipped dinner too and went straight to his room. He put his school bag on his desk and started on his homework. But he was having a hard time focusing. He fantasized about spending time with Mimi. He pictured himself running his fingers down her long soft brown hair. Caressing her small petite body against his. Dreaming about kissing her full honey warm lips. He laid his head on his desk as he got lost in his day dream. Taichi's phone rang and woke him up. It was a text from Sora.

"I need to talk to you soon please. :("

Taichi took a deep breath and then threw himself on his bed. He stared at his ceiling. "Fucking damn it! Every one saw her kiss me. Mimi probably knows by now...Why?! Why?! Why?! Right when I asked Mimi out. " He thought while rolling back and forth on his bed.

...Meanwhile at Mimi's...

James had just finished telling Mimi about Taichi and Sora.

"Are you sure it wasn't a rumor?" She asked him.

"I was there Meemes. I'm on your side remember!" He said back with annoyance.

Mimi slammed down her phone on to her coffee table. James was frighten by her reaction. She was so angry she was even growling.

"Sweet mother of pearl!" He thought as he leaned back away from Mimi. "Mimi calm down!" He said.

"THAT STUPID BITCH!" She yelled out. "How can she do that in front of everybody?! That smug ugly little red head!" She continued to shout out. James stared at Mimi wishing he wasn't a part of any of this cat fight. James started slowly exiting the room while Mimi ranted on and on. He wanted to sneak out in fear of Mimi wrath.

"JAMES WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" She exclaimed. James stopped in his tracks and hesitantly turned around to face Mimi.

"Don't worry. She is tricky. But it's nothing you can't handle. Remember you next week you are going to the Christmas festival and all this will finally end." James said with tears of joy streaming down his cheeks. She grew fire in her eyes and was driven by motivation.

"THAT'S IT! That night I will tell him everything!" She said as her angry voice softened. "This ENDS NOW."
