Chapter 1: No Silver Lining
"Sakura! You lazy bum, faster!" A cold angry voice called out.
"Coming." A honey colored haired girl answered. She has beautiful emerald eyes and brown fair skin. She ran swiftly downstairs to where the voice was. Then………..
SLAP!
"Ow…….." Sakura muttered as she held her red face.
"If we get late, it's going to be your damn fucking fault!" A female voice shouted. She has long black raven hair tied into two buns by two red ribbons. She has fierce amber eyes and fair brown skin.
"I'm sorry Mei Lin." Sakura muttered to her stepsister.
"Hmph! I have no more time to waste for you." Mei Lin said as she walked to school. Sakura was left there standing. She gently brushed her slapped cheek with her fingers. She can feel could feel tears trying to break free from her eyes.
"No! I can't cry!" She kept telling herself. "I would never ever cry!"
She stood up straight and quietly walked to school, trying to stop her tears from falling. She had always been miserable. It started when her mom died in a car accident. Then, her father married another woman and left them with no clue. He took her older brother with him. When her dad went to vanish, her stepmother, Fyurei, which is half Chinese herself, bore her stepsister, Mei Lin. Since that day, her life was hell. Everyday was plain old torture, Sakura do this and that! There was no freedom for her. She drags heavy chains with her every minute. Why? Fyuri had no intention of really bringing up Sakura, but she loved her father so she decided to have her but the cost? Hell was Sakura's home. Everyday Fyruei would give the girl old things, little food and less attention to her being. In the other hand, Mei Lin was given heaven. Fyurei's anger rose only to Sakura. The same color hair and cheery smile as her father filled her with anger. But, she dared not kill or forsake the child, for she herself loved her father dearly, with all her life and heart. But, she had to feed her anger so she made Sakura's life hell. And to make it worse, she spoiled her own child with money and attention which she never gave Sakura. Mei Lin however, never thought of it at all. She liked what her mother was giving. She liked the new clothes, money and attention to her every need. She was so spoiled. Last week, Fyurei went to Hong Kong for something and left the two half sisters together. Sakura, thinking that she would be free even for awhile, was wrong. Mei Lin ordered her everyday, she was miserable as ever. It was like her daily bread.
"Sakura-kun!" A glee voice called out. a female figure ran to her with a waving hand.
"Oh, it's you Tomoyo-chan." Sakura replied she replied to the raven haired girl with ultramarine colored eyes. She has fair skin and a happy smile across her soft cheeks.
"Doshite Sakura-kun, you don't sound happy?"
"Iie Tomoyo-chan, daijoubu desu. Goshinpai Naku." Sakura answered, trying to make her voice filled with glee.
"Whatever you say, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo looked at her with a worried face.
"Arigatou Tomoyo-chan." Was all Sakura could say. She was lucky to have Tomoyo with her. She has always been a good friend and a helping hand when she's in trouble. But, she hasn't got any clue about Mei Lin. She doesn't even know they were related. Why?
Falshback:
Mei Lin pushed Sakura on the wall really hard. It was20 minutesbefore school starts. It was their first day of school in high school and Mei Lin wanted something straight.
"Listen here Sakura." She said holding some of Sakura's hair in her palms.
"Yes, Mei Lin." Sakura answered with a shaking voice.
"I want you now to tell anyone that were sisters!" She shouted.
"Huh?"
"(pulls her hair) Why you idiot? Can't you get that?" She asked with a harsh voice.
"Aww, Mei Lin, that hurts. Let go." Sakura pleaded. Those words weren't really what Mei Lin was asking for so she pulled harder.
"That's not what I meant! You idiot! Pretend that were not sisters, ok! Put that on your air full mind!"
"Ok, ok, please let go, it hurts." Sakura agreed with tears. Mei Lin let go of her hair with a smirk. She turned back when Sakura asked:
"Why not tell? What's wrong with you and me being sisters?" She asked as she wiped her tears.
"What are you, damn crazy? What would they say if I had you as a sister? It would ruin my reputation, since I have one, unlike you." Mei Lin said. She turned her attention back to Sakura. "Your dad hurt my mom so you're getting the payment, understand? And, you're really just nothing to me. So, why would I even let them know we're sisters?" she said hurtfully. She faced her back and walked away, leaving Sakura's heart smashed to pieces. She knelt, feeling her legs become shaky. Hey eyes were dull but with sorrowful tears. She held her face, covering one eyes, and muttered.
"I already know that, Mei Lin. You and Fyurei never loved or liked me. But, why do you have to say it like that? And………it wasn't my fault my father left Fyurei. But why bring it on me? Why me? Please don't make me hate my father. Please…………." She closed her eyes for a minute and stood up. She fixed her hair and walked slowly to her class, feeling deep pain.
End of Flashback………….
Sakura and Tomoyo reached school in time. They went inside and sat on their desk. Sakura was last and near the window. She liked this room for one problem, she has Mei Lin for one of her classmates. Well, its not all that bad, when in school, Mei Lin doesn't bully her, she's kind to her in school. Of course, why else? They're not sisters, just plain old classmates and being mean will ruin Mei Lin's perfect reputation.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Sakura!" Mei Lin said to her gleefully. Sakura, knowing this was one ofMeiLin'smasks, rode along.
"Ohyao, Mei Lin." She answered with a small smile.
"Oh, ohayo Mei Lin." Tomoyo greeted. Mei Lin turned her face to the ultramarine eyed girl.
"Oyaho to you too, Tomoyo." Mei Lin greeted back.
"Ogenki desu ka?" Tomoyo asked.
"Watashi genki desu." Mei Lin replied. Sakura hated it when Mei Lin acted like that especially to Tomoyo. Tomoyo is one of the richest girls in town and she knows that Mei Lin wants her…………
"Ne, Mei Lin," Sakura asked. "What are the qualities you like in a man?"
"Eh?" Mei Lin replied in surprise. She knew Sakura from the day she was born and, Sakura isn't that kind of a person to ask that.
"Naze, Mei Lin?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura, why would you ask that?" Tomoyo asked. Like Mei Lin, she knows that Sakura wouldn't ask that kind of question.
"Huh? What do you mean? Well, it just popped out of my mind." Sakura turned her attention back to Mei Lin. "So?"
"Ok then, I like a guy who's nice, a gentleman to be precise, industrious, one who'd make me happy as ever, someone who's really for me." Mei Lin answered.
"Oh." Was all Sakura could answer.
"Good Morning, class." The teacher said as he went in.
"Good morning, Mr. Terada." The students answered. They all went to their seats.
"Listen class, we have a new student." Mr. Terada announced. "New students, to be precise. Please come in." Then, the door opened and went in two male figures.
