A/N: Look at that, 2 chapters in 1 day. I'm extra bored, so why not? By the way I have changed the way the Japanese school system works here to the American way. After all in Fiction you can do anything. The beginning of the story starts right after Thanksgiving. From here on I will add a disclaimer to my stories.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, Bandai & Toei do. Any song lyrics I copy are also not mine, they belong to the writers. The only thing I own is my original characters
Chapter 2: The First Day Of School
Dinner with the Takaishi's was great. We went to a Chinese buffet which is a favorite of mine & my dad's. When we got to the apartment complex we said our goodbyes. My dad shook Natsuko's hand while I shook Takeru's hand then we were off. I felt a little sad that I had to say bye to Takeru, but I knew I would see him again at school once I get registered tomorrow. After a nice hot shower it was time for bed, and it was a sleepless night for me not only thinking about how beautiful my new friend is, but the fact that I sign up for classes tomorrow, and perhaps he may be in one of them, it's exciting.
I woke up the next morning to one of my favorite Disney songs, Part Of Your World (Reprise) from The Little Mermaid. Specifically this part:
I don't know when, I don't know how,
But I know something starting right now,
Watch and you'll see someday I'll be,
Part of your world.
That really reminds me of Takeru, but I can't let my feelings go out of hand now, I just met him after all. My dad drove me to school that day as he had to be there for class registration. We talked to the guidance counselor for foreign students, and her name was Mrs. Flynn. She guided me through the whole process, and I got my schedule, and it was like this:
1. English III F - Harris
2. Algebra 1B - Utsumi
3. Japanese III F - Smith
4. Geography - Suzuki
5. Integrated Science III - Hirata
6. P.E. - Fujita
7. Speech - Taylor
Mrs. Flynn said to me "Our school is very diverse, you will find a lot of non-Japanese students & teachers here. We have interpreters for them. You will be assigned one for periods 2, 4, 5 & 6. I'll call him in." Moments later a tall man about my dad's height came in and introduced himself to us. Hello, Fletcher family, my name is Mr. Daly, and I am Thomas' interpreter for the classes he can't understand due to them being taught in Japanese. Nice to meet you two." I then say "Please, call me Tommy Mr. Daly." He acknowledged this request, and I was off to my 1st period class with Mrs. Flynn showing me & my dad the way. Before I entered the classroom my dad said "Have a good day, and I'll see you when I get home from work tonight. I love you." Mrs. Flynn & I walked in the classroom and told Mrs. Harris who I was, and she said "Welcome Thomas, please take a seat." English class went good, not too difficult. I then walked to 2nd period, and met up with Mr. Daly by the door, and he said "Right this way Tommy." He had already told Mr. Utsumi who I was (in Japanese) before I had gotten there. Mr. Daly told me to sit by the boy with blond hair. I recognized him right away as it was Takeru. Takeru looked up and saw me walk down to the seat next to him. "Hey there Tommy, how are you this morning?" he said. "I am doing great Takeru, it's nice to know I have at least one class with you." I'm so happy that I get to sit by such a stud. The remainder of 2nd period went by quickly as did 3rd & 4th.
I had been assigned 2nd lunch which was between 4th & 5th periods. Fortunately for me Takeru was also in 2nd lunch. I pack my lunch as it's easier for me, and less caloric. Oh yeah forgot to mention I am OCD about my weight. I was once fat as a kid, and I don't ever want to be fat ever again. I met up with Takeru and he said "You can sit at my table with me and my friends. I'll make sure you're never alone here." Takeru is really such a sweetheart. I followed him to his table and there sat 4 other people, the first was a chocolate haired guy wearing goggles and a nice skater looking outfit the next was a purple haired girl with glasses with a cool looking outfit next was another girl this has brown hair wearing a pink outfit and the last person was a guy with long blue hair wearing grey. Takeru said to his friends "Hey guys, I made a new friend at my apartment complex yesterday, and he comes from America. His name is Tommy. The 4 get up and say Hello, Tommy, it's nice to meet you." Takeru walked up to each of them, and introduced them to me. He walked up to the chocolate haired boy first, and said "Tommy, this is Daisuke Motomiya." Then to the purple haired girl he said "This is Miyako Inoue." Next up was the brown haired girl "This is Hikari Yagami." Last was the blue haired boy "And lastly this is Ken Ichijouji." I then say "It's nice to meet all of you." I sat next to Takeru, and ate my lunch, and I asked them if they had Digimon partners as well out of curiosity. Takeru then said "Tommy found out about Patamon when we met, so that's why he asked." Daisuke said "Yeah, my Digimon is V-Mon." "Mine is Hawkmon" said Miyako. Hikari added in "And mine is Tailmon." Ken added in "My Digimon is Wormmon." I then say "Wow. you guys are so cool for having your own pets. I wish I had one." Takeru then said "We were chosen by the Digital World to have our Digimon, not just anyone can have one, but they are getting well known. Perhaps you may get one eventually."
The bell rang to head to 5th Period. Everyone asked to see my schedule, and it turns out for 5th Period not only is Takeru in that class with me so is Daisuke & Hikari, so the 4 of us head together as a group. The rest of the day went well. In 6th Period Daisuke, Takeru & Ken were in that class with me, and in 7th Miyako & Ken were in that class with me. I am glad that I'm making friends with people already. It sure took much longer back in South Lyon. The final bell rang and Miyako said to me "Since you live in the same apartment complex as Takeru & I do what we do is meet up and walk home together, is that fine with you?" I respond with "Absolutely, I love to exercise." Miyako & I meet up with Takeru, and he asks me "How was your first day at school here in Japan?" I say "Much different from America, but I like how much more relaxed it is here." Takeru then says "I like that as well." On our way back home we stopped at the middle school to pick up someone. Miyako walked up to a shorter guy, and said "We have someone new to our complex that is joining us on our walks to and from school. He's from America and very nice." Miyako & the other guy walk back to Takeru & I, and introduces himself to me. "Hello, I'm Iori Hida, nice to meet you." I then say "It's nice to meet you too, I'm Tommy Fletcher." So Miyako, Iori, Takeru & I walk back to the apartment complex, and before we part ways I ask Iori if he has a Digimon too, and he says "I have one, his name is Armadimon, why do you ask?" I then say "Yesterday when I met Takeru I met Patamon." Iori then says "Ah, makes sense then." We part ways, and I head home and started on my homework, and had Ramen for dinner.
A/N: So Tommy had an eventful day at school, and met the rest of the 02 Chosen Children. Don't worry the other 6 will be in the story in a later chapter. I also didn't want to dive into Tommy's feelings for Takeru just yet. That won't be for another few chapters. Chapter 3 will introduce a few of the older Chosens plus will be the first to contain some parental abuse though. Nothing too rough yet though just a few words.
