    Kari smiled as she spotted Hiro by his locker. She called out to him and he looked around, searching for who said his name. He spotted her and waved, grinning.
    Kari’s heart thumped as he came closer to her. The two had grown pretty close over the last few days. She wasn’t sure why she liked him, since she didn’t know much about him, but for some reason, she was attracted to his mysteriousness. He was a guy with many secrets.
    She thought he looked especially cute today, maybe because he had such a big smile on his face. “What’s the big smile for?” she said to him.
    He smiled wider and said, “It’s for you. What else?”<br>     Kari giggled. “No, seriously, why are so happy today?”
    He hesitated for a moment, then said, “Can you keep a secret? I mean, from even Kyra?”
    Kari frowned. “Uh, sure. What’s up?”
    “Well….this morning, I met my partner digimon.”
    “That’s wonderful! But why would you want to keep it a secret?”  
     “Because my digimon is…Demidevimon..”
    Kari felt her heart drop. “Buh..but how? He’s a- a..”
    Hiro sighed. “Evil digimon? Well, yes, that’s what everyone thinks, but Kari! He’s not evil! The Demidevimon the others fought long time ago must have been corrupted or something, I mean…why would the powers of the Digital World send me an evil digimon? I think he’s not evil. Just..just mischievious.”  
    Kari was speechless. “But what about when he digivolves? To Devimon?” she said worridly.
    “Kari, don’t worry, I’m not evil. It’s not like I’ll use him to destroy the Digital World!”
    “But what if..what if Devimon does turn out to be evil, and he influences or takes control of you?” she said.
    Hiro smiled gently. “Don’t worry, that won’t happen. And even if it does, what’s there to worry about? I have you. You’re my light.”
    He leaned over and kissed her forehead. Kari closed her eyes. “See ya later,” and with that, he took off for his next class. Kari sighed dreamily.

    Ken had watched the whole exchange between Kari and Hiro while he was heading towards them. He grinned. It was obvious the two openly liked each other. Now if only he could tell his true feelings to Kyra. And if he had confidence that she might return his feelings. If she didn’t, it would break his heart.

    Sora took a deep breath and said, “Jason, I love you.” then she buried her face in her hands. “No..don’t say love, you’ll freak him out. How about ‘Jason, I have feelings for you.’ Nope. How about, ‘Jason, will you go out on a date with me?’ Nah.”
    She sat there on the steps and kept muttering to herself. Then, she felt two soft hands cover her eyes. It was Jason.
    “Hi Jason,” she said nervously.
    Jason sat down next to her on the steps and said, “How do you do that, every time?”
    Sora grinned. “I just know. Maybe it’s youe cologne,”she teased.
    “You know I don’t wear cologne! Come on, what’s your secret?” said Jason, laughing and watching the other kids running laps.
    Sora’s eyes misted over. “I just know…I know who you are…” Jason faced her and their eyes met. Both could have sworn their own hearts were thumping so loud, the other could hear.
    “Uh…Sora, I have something to tell you.”
    “Actually, I do too.”
    Jason grinned and said, “Why don’t we say it out loud at the same time?”
    Sora took a deep breath. “Okay… ready, 1…2…3!”
    Sora and Jason both blurted out, “I’m in love with you!” then, they looked at each other in surprise. “You’re in love me?” they said together. And all they felt in their hearts as they looked at each other, was true love….
     
    Kyra was struggling to carry all her books when Ken showed up next to her and offered to carry them. She refused at first, but had to accept eventually, because she kept dropping them. She didn’t want any help, so they divided the stack into half and went to lunch.
    Following Ken’s suggestion the day before, they had lunch alone together. Kyra suspected that something was troubling Ken, because he kept trying to say something, and when she pressed him on, he changed the subject. He also flushed frequently. She wondered if he was sick.
    “Ken.” He looked up. She laid her cool hand on his warm forehead. “Are you sick or something?”
    He jerked away from her touch. “No..N…I’m f..fine, what makes..y..you think I’m sick?!! He said loudly.
    She pulled back her hand and frowned in concern. “Are you sure?”
    Ken flushed again. “Of course.”
    Kyra glanced at her watch and exclaimed, “Oh no! I was supposed to meet Hiro and Ami and Jason at the computer room 5 minutes ago!” She stood up to leave.
    Ken stood up too. “I’ll walk you there.” Kyra smiled. “You’re so sweet, Ken.”
    When they arrived at the computer room, she turned to him. “You’re welcome to join us. But it might be boring, all we’re gonna talk about is the D-Power digivice and modifying cards. The three of us have to teach Ami how to use - uh..Ken? are you listening?”
    Ken was staring at the floor. “Ken?” Suddenly, he burst out, “KyraIloveyouandihopeyoufeelthesamewaybuti’llunderstandifyoudon’t!!” and he took off down the hall. Kyra was shocked at Ken’s outburst, then what he had said started to sink in. “Oh my god…”
