Young Love
…
Dealing with gangs, a murdered parent and balancing school. Just maybe a relationship… That's one tough life.
Chapter 1
Sakura
….
My mother was killed right in front of my eyes, by a man we all trusted but he could never be found… I remember her, lying in her pool of blood, reaching out her hand telling me to 'forgive him'.
Sakura's eyes hardened at the thought.
Mothers was too nice… she died before she even saw what he had said and done. That man smiled, he lifted his hand pulled off a mask and smoothly threw it at my feet. It was so dark; my eyes blurred from the tears, that I couldn't even see him. My body was shaking as he told me to 'get over it' and walked away.
My anger was up at full blast as I remembered and it wasn't because my mom was killed, It was because, we were left alone, my brother, Tomoyo and me. We had to pay off loan sharks, because of the mistakes my dad made.
The hall ecohed with my bitter laugh as I heard the rumors, "I heard she killed her mom"… who wouldn't think so.
I mean… I was the only one there and the stupid police could not find any evidence of who did it. But any genius would think that if I did it, there would be evidence.
I opened the classroom door and sat in my seat.
What do they know about me? I could only laugh some more as they looked at me, some with fear and some with disgust.
They began whispering… "Look at her, she's a witch"… "She's dangerous; I think we should stop looking at her".
I glared at them, daring them to say something else, disappointingly they didn't. I sighed, put my feet on the table and shut my eyes, though fully alert.
When my mother was killed, my dad was stunned, he fell into his own world , trying to find out things, that got him messing with loan sharks. Due to my dad's condition, I had to leave school sometimes to work, and Tomoyo, she makes and sell clothes. While I trained to be the best in everything, including martial arts, my clumsy, silly, and trusting traits, I locked them away never to be released.
But now my brother's in charge out of a gang, life's been easier… a little, because I have work for the gang and there is nothing easy about being a teenager.
I am at the top of my school, they say except for my attitude. I could roll my eyes at that comment, they expect me to be happy when my mother was killed in front of me and people believe that I did it…
You have got to be insane people.
…ALL…ALL….
The door opened, the children rushed to their seats.
Sakura buried the urge to walk out the class as all the commotion meant the teacher arrived.
She neither moved from her position nor opened her eyes, but Sakura knew he was glaring at her.
"Kinomoto, take your feet off the desk, please". A demanding voice echoed through the class.
Sakura smirked, she never moved her position instead she opened her eyes. "Once you pay me"
"Kinomoto, we have a new student, please retrieve him from the hall". Smiling, he spoke again, "now or you get detention".
Sakura rolled her eyes. like I care, She thought.
"I'm feeling generous today". Sakura replied, getting up to do what the teacher said.
Sakura looked in the hall and saw a boy leaning on a locker with his eyes closed. His face was screwed up like he was having a nightmare. He had broad shoulders; Sakura roamed his body with her eyes. The boy looked like he was made for fighting.
"How long are you going to stare?"
Sakura raised her eyebrows, walked over to him. "Don't like being stared at, you could pay me to stop?"
He opened his eyes, "Well, I'm pretty hot so I guess, it can't be helped and no."
"Riiiight" Sakura dragged out. "You're the new kid."
The boy stared at her and nodded.
The guy watched Sakura walk to classroom door, sighed and began walking to her. "I guess I'm suppose to follow her"
All head shot up and the teacher glared as Sakura walked to her seat. The teacher turned to the door asking the new kid to come in and introduce himself. "My name is Li Syaoran, I'm from Hong Kong. Please take care of me." The girls gasped and were swooned by his looks.
Sakura raised a brow; she didn't think he was all that hot. He was buff, but… she was never a fan for cool guys.
"Li, did Kinomoto take care of you?" Li lowered his brow in confusion.
Sakura face palmed, she didn't tell him her name, and she prayed he was smart enough to figure it out.
"Oh… I guess." The boy was so confused.
The teacher turned to Kinomoto and before he said anything.
Sakura stood, "Come on Mr. Wong, due you expect me to run happily and greet and treat, without you paying me.
Mr. Wong had nothing to say..
"Didn't think so" She said loudly.
Mr. Wong rubbed his temples and sighed, "Li, please find a seat, Kinomoto the discussion is over, thank you for bringing the new student." With that the class started.
Sakura folded her arms and dropped into her seat with a "Welcome"
Syaoran walked to his seat which was apparently behind Sakura. He sat, with his hand against his cheek.
He watched Sakura from behind… He realized throughout the rest of the class she kept checking her watch.
He sighed, if Eriol were here, he would totally be able to read her, because there is something wrong with that girl.
Syaoran looked around the class, only to see girls dreamily staring at him. He rolled his eyes, the usual.
Syaoran turned to look at the board and zoned out.
Syaoran came back into reality by the sound of the bell. They still had another subject in the same room, but the girl, Kino- something, she got her stuff together and left.
Syaoran looked around, "Probably going to the bathroom, and probably shouldn't have said that out loud."
…..
The girl still didn't come back and the teacher left and children were packing up their things.
Syaoran looked around the class, he was surprised at the amount of girls still there and all of them were looking in his direction. He turned his head and nothing was there.
"Do they have to be so obvious?"
He folded his arms and rested it on the back of the chair which was in front of him. "So, I'm guessing its lunch"
The reply came. "Your right"
Syaoran looked at the person. It was a girl smiling, with raven hair, grayish eyes and she was holding a paper bag.
Syaoran was ignoring her thinking she just wanted to flirt.
Tomoyo caught the reaction, "Hey don't be so full of yourself, and I was just going to ask you hold this for someone, a girl, she has auburn hair. Not hard to miss"
Tomoyo looked back and pointed to the girls, "I'll get rid of them for you, no charge."
Syaoran snorted, "I'll let that slide…"
Syaoran watched the raven haired girl, shoo the girls away, then he closed his eyes.
"Hey, dude! A little help here" Syaoran's eyes shot opened, only to see the auburn haired girl climbing through the window in little maid's dress.
"We are on the top floor"
"I know so are you going to help me or what?" Sakura growled.
"Nice tone to ask someone for help."
"I'm sorry, just help me" Sakura motioned him to come.
Syaoran helped her through the window.
"Thanks" Sakura said brushing off her clothes.
Sakura looked around and saw a familiar paper bag, "Is that mine?"
"yh, you're the only auburn hair chick, that you can't miss"
Sakura opened the paper bag, and saw her school uniform; she began removing her maid uniform.
"Wha- are you?"Syaoran stuttered.
"It'll cost you for looking"
Sakura told him
Syaoran turned and rolled his eyes.
…
She pulled out a small box out of her maid uniform, and pulled out a cigarette box. She took out her lighter, lit her cigarette and began smoking.
Syaoran glared, "stop that"
Sakura stepped on the cigarette with foot. "Nasty Habit, I'm sorry"
…
Sakura walked to her P.E class and surprisingly the boys were in there too.
Apparently, boys had to watch the girls play, because their teacher wasn't there.
Sakura turned, and watched some girls set up the volleyball net. P.E was one of the places she could get away, nobody ever beats her there. Sakura watched someone call the P.E teacher, the teacher sent the boys at the top of the stadium seat, to watch everything.
Hey Sakura, I'm splitting the class today; half volley ball and half basketball. I want you to play basketball. You're the first captain" Ms. Hiasko told her. Sakura nodded. "And tell Gina, she's the other captain."
Sakura sighed and nodded again. Sakura looked around for Gina and saw her tying her shoe strings on the left side of the room. "Gina, you're playing basketball, you're the second captain!" Sakura shouted to her.
Ms. Hisako blew her whistle for the ones playing basketball to come. Sakura stood facing Gina with their players behind them. "Ok, set up" coach said. Sakura set up her defense and offense, she smirked, and "this is going to be so easy."
In the first half, it was 4 – 10 with Sakura team leading. The whistle blew to start the second half. Sakura had the ball, she began to dribble but they had a 3 man block on her. Sakura passed it the Rika and she dribbled it to a block then she passed to Chiharu who carried it close the hoop only to have Gina get it. Sakura saw and turned she blocked Gina and she faked going one way and when the other grabbing the ball and make a 3 pointer shot.
At the end of the game Sakura team won 8- 17.
Sakura sat on the bench wiping off her sweat with her towel and drinking some water. When Gina came across "You like to cheat don't ya Kinomoto?"
Sakura looked at her and rolled her eyes, she put her towel and water away then walked off. Gina went running behind and shoved her "Oppps, I slipped."
"Sure you did, you have to be careful, you know what a klutz you are." Sakura smirked and walked to the P.E teacher.
Gina screwed up her face and walked off flipping her hair.
….
Syaoran watched the girls play; the auburn girl seemed to be pretty good. The boys seemed to think she is one of the hottest girls. The game finished, auburn's team won, and there was some conflict with another girl, Syaoran couldn't see or understand what was going on but it sounded like auburn won.
….
Making an excuse that Gina made her extremely upset and that she needing someone to keep her calm the teacher let Sakura leave.
Sakura walked by the boys, ignoring the whistles and names like 'babe'.
"Hey, new kid, let's go"
Syaoran got up and followed Auburn into an empty class room.
"Why did you bring me here, Auburn?"
"You were bored, and I was bored, so I worked it out"
Sakura looked out the window.
She looked down at the ground, she saw Gina and a guy kissing on the wall, Sakura rolled her eyes. The guy looked up a little and Sakura gasped. Sakura was upset; she scoffed and smiled a bit which surprised Syaoran. "You want to see something really funny, you see those two people down there."
Syaoran leaned out the window and looked and nodded at Sakura. "That boy owes me and Gina. I have nothing to say about her."
"Now watch this", Sakura reached in to her bag, and pulled out a rock. She pointed it to the wall near the couple and threw it. The couple jumped and the guy looked up, Sakura mouthed, my money, while moving her thumb across the other two fingers.
"That was funny" she said. Syaoran laughed. "You have a rock in your bag?"
"You never know, it might come in handy, like just now"
"You're strange"
"You have no idea."
….
"We better run" Sakura said, pushing her feet through the window.
Syaoran stood their lost until the door was pushed open and teacher grabbed him.
…
Sakura came down and walked straight pass one of the teachers, "Going detention again, Miss Kinomoto".
She opened the door and saw Syaoran standing there. She looked at him for a while then asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Don't act like you don't know, you got me here."
Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "If you say so."
Syaoran glared at her.
"I just warned you, you were just …"
Syaoran gaped at the girl, "Just what?"
"Too slow"
Syaoran walked closer to Sakura, and Sakura stepped back. "If I'm so slow why don't you just run, Auburn"
Sakura smirked, "Because I don't need too"
Sakura put up 3 fingers and started to put down one after the other, when all were down.
A teacher barged into the room, "Take your seats"
Sakura smiled, then went to sit.
Syaoran glared at her.
Sakura leaned back, got some gum from her bag, and she relaxed.
*Tick**Tick*, Syaoran sat there watching the clock. He sat bored for 30minutes, and it was 4:30.
"Don't you have practice? Miss Kinomoto" the teacher asked.
"Thanks for reminding me" Sakura reached into her bag and took out a blue uniform.
She began to remove her school shirt.
"Hey, what are you doing?" yelled Syaoran.
"Please be quiet in detention" The teacher said as though she didn't see Sakura changing.
"Quit being a baby, I have on an undershirt" Sakura told him, in an obvious tone.
She changed her shirt to a blue uniform with the number 16 on it, and she put on the pants under her skirt, then took off the skirt and hauled on her sneakers.
"Later teach, and you should probably let the guy out" Sakura winked at him and left.
