Important: can`t talk right now gotta get this fic up!! BUT PLEASE READ THE THING AT THE END OF THE FIC!!
No POV- Sora wasn't popular. I guess that just shows how strange and twisted life is. You see the ONLY reason Sora WASN'T popular was because she was friends with Tai. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem but when Amber, the most popular girl in school has a crush on him, it DOES become a problem. Still Sora wasn't upset about not being "popular" she had her few great friends and she'd rather them no question over a bunch of fake ones.
There where some things about not being "popular" that did make Sora upset though. Having no chance with Tai being one of them. You see, Tai WAS popular. VERY popular with a lot of good reasons. He was cute, funny, nice...perfect. And like a modern day Romeo and Juliet there was some unspoken rule that the popular and the unpopular DO NOT date. Being friends was already stretching it. Like I'd ever have a chance with him anyway. Sora thought as she sat dazing off in the middle of Math. She shook her head. Tai and I will always be friends, just friends....but still..
She came out of her trance as something hit her in the head. She quickly turned around, searching for the culprit. There sat Tai, holding in his giggles. Sora sighed and turned back around, she was determined to catch at least some of the math class today. As the class went on Sora became VERY thankful that they where going over fractions. Mr.Yagotic LOVED fractions so he didn't notice all the little stunts Tai was pulling or the way Sora was trying at all cost not to laugh.
At the end of class there was the usual, "You know Tai, when I flunk Math, it's gonna be alllllll your fault!!" Then the usual laugh from Tai and then of course the usual mob of girls that surround Tai after EVERY class. Sora couldn't really understand HOW they did it but no matter HOW far away they where from Tai's class they ALWAYS managed a way to get to him in less then 30 seconds. Sora quickly backed away, so she wasn't trampled. She could face an enter soccer team, a stamped of evil digimon and many other things but even Sora couldn't face a mob of Taichi struck girls. With nothing more then a sigh Sora turned around and walked away.
Tai's POV-
"Hey wait up!" I yelled to Sora. "Um....look Sora..I'm REALLY sorry..about....you know..the mob yesterday...I didn't.." I said as soon as she turned to face me. She sighed and smiled. �No, problem Tai, heaven forbid I should take you away from your fan club!!" I turned beat red.....O jeeze.....this whole "fan club" thing was realllly gonna mess up my chances with Sora..she must think I'm a player or something....
My thought was interrupted by the bell. Duh! I almost forgot I was here in the hallways, at school. "Do you mind if I walk you?" I asked Sora. She laughed, " I dunno Tai, being around you could be dangerous for my health! I might get trampled by some girls." I blushed and fidgeted with my feet. "Well�.um...okay then.." I said. I knew I had messed it up!! "Tai, I was only joking! It's fine! I mean hello! We live in the same apartment building!" she giggled. "I knew that...so was I!! Um�. Let's go!" I said as we started off.
~Three Days Later~
Tai's POV- Talk about procrastination. It was the day before the prom and I had JUST gathered the courage to ask Sora. I took a deep breath as I approached her. She smiled at me and when I opened my mouth to talk..... "HEY TAI!" Amber yelled jumping in front of me in her tight jeans, blue eye shadow, bright red lipstick, "reveling" tube top and spice girls looking sandals.*Yeah yeah, I know they've got uniforms on TV but hey, this is a fan FICTION* "Um..Hi Amber..." I said as I cocked my head to see Sora. She stood there in her lose khaki cargo's, oversized adias shirt, and sneakers, looking more beautiful then Amber EVER could. I saw her smile get shaky and forced and her eyes glitter with tears, she turned around quickly and almost ran down the hall. "Sora!" I yelled and reached my hand out. Amber took my arm and forced it down. "Amber..I...I.." "Ssh!! Taichi-chan!! Let me talk!!" she said in a flirtatious voice as she fluttered her eyelashes, "Now I was just wondering if you'd like to go to prom with me!" Still trying to escape her and find Sora I mumbled, "Sure, sure whatever, can I go now?". She moved aside with a trumpet smile and motioned for me to go on. I grumbled and ran after Sora. Only after I was in my next class did I finally realize what I had done.
Sora's POV- I was glad Tai didn't find me. Why did I get so upset? Probably because I knew that when Amber was talking to Tai, she was asking him to the prom and he was probably saying yes. Ever since I was a little girl I had dreamed of going to the prom with Tai but now the factors of life had finally set in. And like many other dreams, this one was over before it started.
I wiped the tears from my face. My eyes where bloodshot and red, I observed as I checked myself over in the mirror. I sniffled and choked. It's not like it even mattered..Tai was taken and I really didn't care about the other boys. I almost burst out crying, again. But I stopped myself. I went down the stairs to meet Mimi and Joe, who where picking me up. Tai would have taken me, since he lives in the same building and all, but of course he had to leave and pick up Amber. I grabbed another tissue and hoped it was dark enough so that no one noticed I had been crying for so long. As I approached the car I saw Joe`s mouth drop open and Mimi playfully hit him. She looked a me with admiration in her eyes, although I don't know why. "Sora you look gorgeous!!!" she said. "Thanks, you do to!" I said, smiling. She smiled back but with a confused look she mouthed "What's wrong?" Apparently she had noticed. I smiled and shrugged hoping to tell her it was nothing. She smiled again and then said "Come on hop in!"
Tai's POV- The drive to the prom was HORRIBLE! Amber kept talking and talking but in truth, I wasn't really listening. And thankfully Amber was so self absorbed she was perfectly continent hearing the sound of her own voice, so I didn`t even have to pretend to be enjoying the �conversation�. Besides I was to busy thinking about how terribly I had messed up. My dream had always been to take Sora to the prom but now, now, I got my worst nightmare, taking Amber.
When we finally got there I knew the night would only get worst. As we walked in, with Amber's arm linked with mine, I tired to lose her as quickly as possible. "Um, oh look! Matt's band, I'm gonna go say hi!" I said. Before she could object I had already headed over to Matt. "Hey Matt!" I said. "Hey Tai! Shouldn't you be with Sora?" he asked. "Um..no...not exactly....You know how I told you I was nervous about asking her to the prom?....um..well before I could I kinnndaaaa said yes to Amber.." I said shamefully. But Matt didn't look at all disappointed, in fact he looked quite happy. "Oh! Then you wouldn't mind if I danced with Sora would you?� he asked "OH COURSE I MIND!!" realizing where I was I lowered my voice, "Oh course I mind, I mean...I think I..I..l-o...well I really like Sora! I was tricked into going with Amber!" I said furiously. "Wo!! Calm down Tai man!! It's just..well, have you seen Sora? She's GORGEOUS! If you really lo-lo-like her you better hurry before some other lucky guys swipes her up!" he replied. "Where is she?" I asked. "Right over there" He pointed to the spot. "Thanks man," I said and left to find Sora.
I walked over to where a group of guys where standing around Sora, flirting and asking her to dance. Sora stood there her hands rubbing her sleeveless arms, looking terribly scared, shy and nervous, speaking only in whispers. My mouth was wide open. She was even more beautiful then usual. Aside from her natural glow, she had glitter on her arms and in her hair. Though her face was nervous and tense and her eyes red as if she'd been crying, she was gorgeous with just a slight touch of makeup. Her bright orange hair was pinned up in a bun with little curled pieces falling out and into her face. Her dress was light blue with butterfly's and fit her figure perfectly. Infact everything about her was absolutely perfect. Still in a dase I went to walk forward but then Amber grabbed me away. As I walked away I turned back to see Sora's face become relieved as Izzy came into the crowd and she willing excepted a dance with him.
