“Hey Gysia!” A familiar, annoying voice called out to Jensen as he walked to lunch.

Oh God, not the time. Jensen thought. However, he turned around anyway and put on a plastic smile for a short, exceptionally childish looking kid from his class: Hirosha Noyma.

“Hey, Nyoma,” Jensen said. “You know, right now isn’t the best-”

“I want to show you something,” Hirosha said, parting his short brown hair. Hirosha had a bowl cut and looked suspiciously like an Asian Justin Bieber. Maybe that’s why Jensen despised him so, or maybe it was because he despised everyone in general. Probably a combination of the two.

“Okay, what is it?” Jensen decided to humor Hirosha for the moment.

Hirosha motioned Jensen to follow him to his locker. Hirosha twirled his lock and opened the locker after a moment. He withdrew a small tin box from within his locker and opened it. Jensen was curious as to the contents of the box and he peered over Hirosha’s shoulder inside the box. Inside was a deck of cards. Hirosha looked back and smiled proudly at Jensen.

“They’re my Digimon cards!” Hirosha exclaimed proudly.

Jensen was taken aback in a moment of panic. Did Hirosha know about Agumon? Oh no, what if someone came and took Agumon away from him? However, he managed to keep his calm.

“Digimon?” Jensen asked critically. “Who still plays Digimon? That’s so ridiculous, what are you 9?”

Hirosha’s proud face turned into disappointment in a moment. He frowned and looked at the ground.

“Oh, I understand,” Hirosha said, depressed as he closed his locker. Hirosha shuffled away from Jensen, dumping his tin box into the first trashcan that he passed.

As soon as Hirosha was out of sight, Jensen ran over to the trashcan and dug the tin box out of it. Jensen ran into the bathroom, which was just down the hall, and locked himself in a stall. He took off his backpack and opened it up. Immediately, Koromon popped out and frowned at Jensen.

“Digimon are ridiculous, eh?” Koromon asked accusingly.

Jensen frowned guiltily.

“Sorry about that,” He said and then pulled a few cards out of the tin box. He showed them to Koromon. “What are these?”

“They’re cards,” Koromon answered simply.

Jensen sighed.

“I know they’re cards, but what do they do?”

“You use them with your D-arc digivice to give me special powers during battle,” Koromon explained. “To help me digivolve or give me a certain attack. They’re quite clever little things.”

Jensen examined his cards for a moment.

“Well isn’t that something.”
