Chapter 3: 1st Encounter
Mimi just sat there starring at Sora with her mouth slightly open. "So that's what happened?" Asked Mimi.
"Yeah," replied Sora. She hung her head low. "It was one of the most stupid choices I ever made."
"So what happened after that?" Asked Mimi.
"Well," began Sora. "I heard that straight after I left, Tai got into a fight with Matt, Izzy and Joe. Supposedly Tai beat the crud out of them. Gave Matt a black eye and knocked him out. Gave Izzy a broken rib and a sore jaw. And he gave Joe a groin injury. Tai was suspended for 3 weeks, but he never came back to school. My only guess was is that he moved school's."
"So that's what's been bugging you lately?" Asked Mimi. "Yeah, after seeing Tai for that one moment, the guilt just sort of came back."
"Maybe you should, I don't know. Make amends," suggested Mimi.
"I doubt he'll want to see me," replied Sora.
Ken continued to study the hurt face of Tai. "Sounds like you had a rough childhood,' said Ken.
"Yeah," replied Tai sadly.
"So basically, Sora just abandoned you, and then you went on the beat Matt, Izzy and Joe to a pulp," said Ken.
"You are really interested in that fight," said Tai.
"It's just that I've never seen you fight before and you're definitely not a violent person so hearing this is like big news," said Ken.
"All that pain that I got from that experience, all that pain that took me years to get rid off, it all just came back again when I saw her. And now I just…"
"Can't stop thinking about that day," finished Ken.
"Yeah," said Tai.
Sora walked down the street. It was the main street of town so it was packed. Really packed. There were heaps of people walking around and heaps of people in the shops. Sometimes Sora couldn't believe so many people lived in town.
She walked into a small food court and straight away saw Tai siting at a table with a boy with black hair who she didn't recognize.
Neither of the boys noticed her, they continued to talk. Sora just stood there looking at them. Sora thought back to what Mimi said, "Maybe you should, I don't know. Make amends."
Okay, thought Sora. You just need to go up to him and say sorry, thought Sora. How hard can that be?
Sora slowly approached the table trying to not catch the attention of Tai or the black-haired boy with him.
She finally got really close and Tai and the black haired boy looked at her. "Can we help you?" Asked the boy.
Tai stood up and quickly walked away.
"Tai," said the boy.
"Tai wait!" cried Sora as she ran towards Tai.
"Go away Sora!" Cried Tai.
That's Sora, thought Ken.
"Tai I just want to talk!" Pleaded Sora.
"Really, and you're not going to walk away when I call out you're name!" Replied Tai angrily.
Sora felt hurt and replied, with, "I'm sorry Tai! Please, please believe that I'm sorry!" Pleaded Sora.
"Just leave me alone!" Replied Tai and he waked away with Ken running after him.
I'm sorry Tai, thought Sora.
