Chapter 3: Back to School

Mimi's POV

I only had about a week of vacation until I had to go to school. Tai offered to pick me up this morning and I accepted of course. Tai has been acting rather strange lately he's been more… friendly than the usual.

Like the other day, he took me, Sora, and Matt to the mall. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely overjoyed that he's talking to Sora and Matt again. Yet, he would constantly put his arm around my shoulders or waist and get closer than normal friends would.

He will only act this way if Sora and Matt around. Other than that he's completely normal and idiotic Tai.

RING! RING!

I answered my phone quickly assuming it was Tai. He's probably pissed off that I've taken so long.

"Hello?"

"MIMI HURRY UP I'VE BEEN WAITING TWENTY MINUTES NOW!"

I quickly grabbed my bag and ran outside. Tai looked at me rather annoyed when I got in the car.

"You, Kari, and every other girl take FOREVER to get ready! What do you guys do that takes so long?" said Tai.

"Well we get up, we shower, we dry and style our hair, we put on makeup, and we spend twenty minutes looking for an outfit-"

"MIMI WE WEAR SCHOOL UNIFORMS!"

"Yeah well I forgot I was in Japan…" I muttered.

I heard Tai chuckle to himself.

About twenty minutes later, we arrived at school. Tai showed me around and even helped me to find my locker.

"Mimi!" I heard that voice that could only belong to none other than Sora. Behind her was Matt, and beside him was Izzy.

Tai suddenly put his arm around me again. Great, here we go again.

"Hey guys! I was just showing Meems around the school." said Tai, his arm pulling me closer. I pretended to be happy. I don't like Tai being so close to me, it's like a brother that's too loving. Just like that, it's weird.

"So Mimi what's your first class?" asked Sora.

I pulled my schedule out my pocket. Let's see, First Period:

"Chemistry with Professor… Sakamoto"

"Hey we have the same class! School starts in about five minutes so let's walk together." Sora said with that warm smile of hers.

"Of course! Let's go." I pulled myself from Tai's grasp and waved goodbye as I started to walk with Sora.

It was rather awkward walking with Sora because of what she did to Tai. She knows I'm disappointed about what she did and she doesn't even say anything.

"How long have you and Tai been together?" she suddenly asked out of the blue.

"What are you talking about Sora?"

"Mimi, it's obvious: the way he puts his arm around you, the comments he says to you, and plus he told me and Matt that he really likes you…" said Sora muttering the last part.

"What the hell! Tai and I are NOT together! He's just being friendly! Right?"

"Too friendly if you ask me."

Sora walked into class and after a polite introduction, I took my seat. Sora sat across the classroom. I thought back at what we talked about earlier. Tai doesn't like me! He doesn't I know he doesn't! He's always liked Sora! As I put his behavior and what Sora told me I figured it out. He does like me. Why else would he be so loving? No! I don't like Tai that way and hell I am gonna have one hell of a conversation with him!

After two classes and introductions it was time for lunch. The only good thing since I found out about Tai was that I had Matt in two of my classes, Sora in two classes, one with Izzy, and to my dismay one with Tai. I walked to the place by the lockers where Tai said he and Izzy meet up and to my surprise Sora and Matt were there too.

At least Tai can hang around them now. I walked up to them and as if on cue Tai came and put his arm around me, again. I looked at Sora and she averted her gaze. Like hell I'm gonna let our conversation go that easily. We ate our lunches and I didn't like the fact that Sora was ignoring us. I took Tai's arm off of me and he looked confused.

"Meems, you okay?" asked Tai

"I need to talk you" was all I said. I pulled him around the hall and I peeked out the corner. We're not in hearing distance. Good.

"Mimi, hurry and tell me cause class is about to start-" I cut him off by shoving him against the locker and putting my arm against his neck.

"What the hell is wrong with you Mimi?"

"What the hell is wrong with me?! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"What are you talkin-"

"The fact that you like me and told everyone but me!" I said cutting him off once again

Tai had his eyes wide and was looking at me with a guilty face.

"Mimi." he said while putting his hands on my face. Before I knew it he was leaning towards me.

Matt's POV

Those two have been gone long enough. I walked around the hallways until heard a voice.

"The fact that you like me and told everyone but me!"

What the hell? I peeked out the corner to see Mimi holding Tai by the neck with her arm.

"Mimi." I heard Tai say as he puts his hands on her face and started to lean closer to her. Is he going to kiss her? Why the hell isn't she stopping him? DOES SHE KNOW HE'S USING HER?! There's a time when a person has had enough. This was one of those times.

"MIMI! What the hell are you doing?!" I yelled appearing from the corner.

"Matt! Mind your own business!" Tai yelled.

"Why don't you tell her the truth, Tai?"

He looked at me dumbfounded.

"Fine then I will." I said as I dragged Mimi far, far away from Tai.

"Matt what are you talking about? What truth?"

"You really are stupid. Tai was using you to make me and Sora jealous. Sora still has feelings for him and he thought if he made you his that I would get jealous. Yeah like anyone would want you."

She put her head down and I heard sniffling. Great, she's crying.

I put my hand on her shoulder and she quickly smacked it off.

"What the hell is your problem now Tachikawa?"

"Go to hell, Ishida!" and with that she ran off. Even better, now I get to go after her.

I walked around the halls and no sign of Mimi. Class started about ten minutes ago and I doubt she went to class. Mainly because she doesn't even know where it is. After about 15 minutes, I found her sitting on the stairs to the third floor. She was still crying. I approached her slowly and sat next to her. She turned the other way.

"Mimi, stop crying" was all I could say. I'm not the best when it comes to comforting.

"Why? I'm so stupid he was using me and I was too dense to even notice!"

"Mimi…"

"You said it yourself like anyone would want me."

So that's what this is about. She started to get up. I quickly got up and grabbed her by the shoulder then turned her around to face me. Her caramel eyes were still a bit red from crying and her cheeks had a slight tinge of pink. Those pink lips were begging to be touched and I couldn't help but lean in for a kiss.

Mimi's POV

I was staring into those sapphire eyes of his. It was almost numbing. I could see him inching closer to my face. He's gonna kiss me. I've had a crush on him for about 6 years and I never imagined him kissing me.

His lips gently touch mine as he put an arm around my waist and the other on the back of my neck. He slowly pushed me against the wall as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt his lips pressed more firmly on mine.

I slowly felt him tug on my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and felt his tongue crawl inside. His hand on the back of my neck pushed me deeper into his mouth. He then put his other arm around my waist and pushed me closer against his body.

It felt so good kissing Matt, no, it felt right. But the more and I thought about it, I realized I was kissing Matt. I was kissing Matt. What the hell am I doing?

I quickly pushed Matt off me and he stared at me with those eyes of his.

"Mimi, I'm sorry. I-I didn't know what I was thinking."

I can't believe I kissed him. I kissed my best friend. My head was spinning and I swear all the consequences of our kiss were rushing to my head. I couldn't stand to be around him anymore so I ran away from him.

When I was in the front of the school on the steps, I thought of all the things that has happened in just the week I've been here. I found out most of friends hate each other, then one of my best friends used me to get revenge, and then I just made out with my other best friend. In just one week. On my first day at Odaiba High. My life is great.

Hehe yep it is Mimi. Sorry to all the Michi lovers. I was thinking of making a Michi fic after this one. To be honest, I actually ship Mimato and Michi, yeah I'm a witch. Burn me at the stake. P.S put some Mimato in there for the fans. (:
