AN: Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this story. It's my first one, so I'm really hoping to get some reviews to help me out. Constructive comments are always welcome and emails are fine too.

Summary: Sora has just entered Ishida High, one of the top high schools there are. She meets many new people, but the one that stays on her mind is this guy named Yamato. She just can't seem to understand why his smile gives her butterflies, why she blushes in front of him, or why the sound of his voice makes her heart skip a beat.

Chapter I - room 261

            Ruby orbs of fire shot open at the instant the loud screeching was emitted from the alarm clock. The girl reacted immediately, hastily reaching a hand over to the clock on her windowsill to cease the buzzing. The moment the loud obnoxious noise stopped, silence took over and Sora felt sleep beg for her once more. Thinking that five mere minutes would do no harm, she yielded to the pressure of her eyelids.

            Half an hour later…

            The girl shot up in bed and glanced fearfully at the clock nearby. Crap! I'm late for the first day of school! Sora tumbled out of the bed and hastily untangled herself from the blanket. She ran into the bathroom, and only minutes later, was she already dressed in her school uniform and brushing her long auburn hair with her comb.

            The uniforms the girls wore at Ishida High were simple white three quarter sleeved white blouses, a navy sleeveless V-neck sweater, and a knee length crimson skirt. The guys wore similar attires, consisted of a white polo shirt, a pair of navy blue dress pants, and a crimson sleeveless sweater worn over the polo.

            Sora put down the brush and raced down the stairs. Grabbing the nearest pastry that lay on the kitchen counter, which turned out to be a honey glazed croissant, the girl ran out of the house with her schoolbag slung over her right shoulder.

            A figure of a girl with auburn hair entered the school property in a mad dash for the doors. Sora had heard the late bell ring about ten seconds ago. She had memorized her program schedule already and the first class on her agenda was chemistry. Speeding up the stairs, Sora reached the second floor of the building and turned right from the stairs, heading straight for room 261.

            She paused in front of the door, to catch her breath and prepare herself for all the eyes that would soon be focused on her. She shivered at the thought, but it was true; people stared at the new students.

            Mr. Chin was amazingly kind about the lateness. "Don't worry about it, I haven't taken attendance yet and it's only your first day here. You'll get used to it soon." He said to her and motioned for her to take a seat among the other students. Spotting the only empty seat left, Sora walked over swiftly and sat down in the chair. Once seated, she glanced around the room, noticing eyes were on her. Sora lowered her head, not wanting to meet their gazes and tried to shut them out.

            The second time she raised her face to observe the other classmates, she noticed that most of the GUYS' eyes were on her for some reason, and the girls' eyes were directed to not Sora, but the one next to Sora. Funny, in all that time, the girl hadn't taken the time to look at who was seated adjacent to her. She had been so concentrated on avoiding the eyes on her that she didn't even bother glancing in her partner's direction when she neared her seat.

Taking the opportunity now, as the teacher's back was turned to write notes down on the chalkboard, Sora stole a quick glance at the person seated next to her. When she looked at him, her breath was taken away. The young man seated next to her was amazingly perfect in his appearance. His hair, a clean and rarely natural golden color, was wild and spiky [AN: I made it so that Matt's hair is just like in the first season of Digimon. I loved that hair] with perfect spiky bangs swept to the side, His eyes, focused on the board, were a piercing color of the most beautiful shade of sapphire.

            Sora turned hastily back to the board, a light blush on her cheeks. Sure, the guy next to her was gorgeous, but that meant nothing. She scolded herself mentally for getting so carried away. The red-haired girl quickly snapped out of her thoughts and began to take notice of the growing amount of notes Mr. Chin had written on the board.

            Yamato glanced at the new girl next to him. Sure, he knew it when she was looking at him, and was totally aware of it, but she was different from those fan girls of his. The look in her eyes, that he saw as he looked at her through his peripheral vision, was of curiosity and not of any of the lust, flirtatiousness, or greed like the other girls. This girl was different. Finally, Yamato decided to take a good look at the girl, out of newly founded curiosity and was completely blown away at what he saw. The girl was simply beautiful, long auburn hair, ruby eyes, and a tempting slim figure. She was bent over her binder; and, busy with taking the notes that Yamato had already finished copying. Stray strands had escaped from the clip that she had placed in her hair, and flowed onto the paper. Letting out a small sigh, she stopped her writing to place them behind her ear. She stopped as she realized that the teacher had erased the notes, currently busy with giving a lecture and drawing a diagram where the notes once were.

            Yamato watched as she gave up with annoyance and just simply sighed, placed her pen down, and sat up to listen to the lesson. He reached over to tap her shoulder.

            Sora turned to her right as she felt someone tap her shoulder. Her ruby eyes met with the dreamiest of blue, but she did not forget to speak. "Yes?"

            "Do you need the notes? I realize that he probably erased them before you could finish." He offered, his rich baritone voice was amazing and Sora felt that this guy could be deadly as a singer.

            She shook out of her thoughts; it wasn't like her to get caught up like that over a first impression from a guy. She reminded herself that true, his features were amazing, but it was still a mere shell. But she didn't forget her manners, and replied kindly with a smile, "Thanks, that would help."

            He handed her the sheet of paper. Sora took it from him and began to jot down the notes with speed. About four minutes later, she had finished and the students prepared for the bell to ring. She handed the paper back to him, "Thanks a lot, um…" she waited for him to fill in the blank. She had forgotten to look at his name on the notes he handed her, but it was still good to have an introduction.

            "Oh- Yamato or Matt. Whichever one suits you." He smiled handsomely. "And you're…?"

            "My name is Sora." She answered, aware of all the strange glares she was now receiving from various girls. Feeling uncomfortable, she ended the conversation by turning around and looking elsewhere. The bell took this chance to ring.

AN: Thanks for reading chapter one! This story is going to start out a bit slow, since I want to show how they fall for each other, but just bear with me! Reviews are greatly appreciated.
