Never Meant to Be.

Chapter 1

"Things don't get any more boring than this." I was thinking as I stared out of the window watching the rain fall, while the teacher was drawling on about some place out east. I could see her mouth moving, but no sound seemed to emerge. This is the way that I, Sora Takenouchi, spend my mornings. Glancing sideways at my watch, the hands seemed to blur and blend to together. Trying to focus on anything while I was half asleep on top of my desk was impossible. And all that unnecessary noise in the background was giving me a headache.

"I should be doing so much more than this!" I screamed in my head. "I should be out there with the rest of them!"

My friend Mimi Tachikawa, who sat across from me, seemed to know what I was thinking, for she shook her head in disbelief and closed her eyes. She didn't get to go either. And I guess she was also wondering why we were the only ones without an assignment.

I looked around the room, my eyes lingering on the huge clock. As soon as the minute hand reached twelve, I heard the wonderful sound of the bell. Stuffing my things into my bag, I caught up with Mimi.

"Can you believe that woman?" she was saying, throwing her hands in the air. I just shook my head in agreement.

"Hey girls!" a cheerful voice said behind us. I turned around.

Taichi Kamiya already had his arms wrapped around Mimi's waist, and she was giggling uncontrollably.

"Hey Sora, mind if I borrow your cute friend for a while?" he winked at me and I suppressed a giggle and nodded.

"See you later, Sor!" Mimi waved as she and Tai made their way to their next class together. I started walking towards my locker.

People were milling about in the halls - it was impossible to breathe.

"Damn, you'd think that all these guys don't have class or something," I muttered under my breath. Finally, I managed to shove my way through the crowd. While I was emptying my backpack inside my locker, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Matt! You scared me!" I turned around to smile at him.

"Sorry," he replied and grinned back.

"So what's new?" I continued arranging my books. He shrugged. I looked at him quizzically as I shut my locker.

"Is something wrong?" I asked slowly.

"No, of course not!" he exclaimed, "Should there be?"

It was my turn to shrug. "Here," he suddenly said and took my book from my hands, "I'll walk you to Physics."

We made out way through the halls still crowded with students until we reached my classroom. The tardy bell sounded, and I felt Matt shove my book into my arms.

"Man, I'll be so late!" he started running. "See you at lunch!" he shouted over his shoulder. I waved and laughed.

"Hey Izzy," I tapped on his desk with my pen as I walked into the room.

"What answer did you get for question seven?" he asked me by way of greeting.

"We had homework? Ohhh, I knew I forgot something!"

My expression turned upset, and then hopeful as I looked at the class genius, Koushiro Izumi.

"Oh, all right! Puppy dog eyes again. gets me every time."

"Thanks Izzy!" I bounced happily and took the papers. Then I found a seat and set to copying fervently.

Matt's POV:

"I'll be so late. that bitch Toshie would probably yell at me again."

I picked up speed, dodging others who were as late as I was.

"But Sora was so totally worth it."

I opened the door to my math class as quietly and inconspicuously as I could, but the teacher interrupted her talking as soon as I walked in. Everyone turned their heads; I guess they were expecting it was me. As I passed by Jou Kido on the way to my chair, I tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and he shook his head disapprovingly. I took my seat and leaned back, waiting for the bullshit to fly at me.

"I hope you had a good time before class, Mr. Ishida," she said firmly.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I did," I replied, smiling. "She has no idea," I thought to myself.

Mrs. Toshie went on rambling, but all I could hear was some buzzing in the background.

"That stupid fuckass just won't shut up, will she?"

I was starting to get annoyed with all that inconsistent babbling. It took all the will power I had to stop myself from shouting "Whatever! Just shut your trap!"

I guess I kind of zoned out, for when I came to, the class was working on something else.

"Whatever," I mumbled quietly and rested my head on top of my desk.

"Just one more class until lunch."

It wasn't that I was hungry, not in that sense, not really. I was hungry for her, Sora Takenouchi, the red head that's captured my heart four years ago. Back then we were both part of the Digidestined, one inseparable group. But right after we battled Malomyotismon, Sora's best friend Mimi Tachikawa moved to America, with Sora following suit.

FLASHBACK

"Sora? What are you doing?" I walked up to her as she was lugging a suitcase to her parent's car across the street.

"Matt, ummm."

"Lemme help you with that," I took the piece of luggage from her fragile hands and heard her exhale.

"Thanks."

"Any time. Now what's happening? Are you going out of town?"

Her face lit up suddenly.

"I'm going to America!" she was almost jumping up and down. When I didn't say anything, she added, "To visit Mimi."

"Oh. so when are you coming back?"

"I don't know Matt, I can't say."

"Why?"

Her mother was calling to her from the car.

"I have to go. Goodbye, Matt."

"Bye." I waved as I watched her drive off. I had a terrible feeling in my stomach, as if I would regurgitate my guts any moment. I thought I would see her again soon, someday, but I haven't seen her since.

END FLASHBACK

Imagine the kind of shock I got when she returned to Odaiba at the beginning of the school year. Since then, Mimi and she have been nearly inseparable. At some point I started envying Mimi, maybe even hating her, for spending so much time with Sora. I think I still hate Mimi.

I mentally slapped myself.

"You've really cracked, Ishida. Can you even hear yourself think?"

The fact that I was crazy about Sora Takenouchi didn't scare me. The fact that she didn't like me back did.
