Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Lei Ring, Mirasi Arinat, and Shishiza Ching
Author's Note: Okay Sakura's room is very luxurious and all that and it's pink, Mirasi's is too but it's blue because she loves blue.
Summary: Sakura is a very unpopular geek at school who is bothered by Syaoran and friends. With help from a friend, Sakura decides it's time to turn the tables. What will happen then? S/S : E/T and made up couples.
Ch.2
"I'm so tired…" Sakura said aloud. She stood from her chair and turned off her desk lamp, and put away her homework. She was exhausted and was in deep need of a bath. She stretched and slowly walked into her bathroom. She let go of her ponytail and took off her glasses. Sakura looked in the mirror; she didn't see herself, only a large blur of color. 'Oh well'
She undressed and opened the faucet, making sure the water was warm. Once she filled the tub, she dropped in relaxing beads and cherry blossom-scented bath oil. She lay there in the water and ducked her head in the tub. She held her breath for a long time but soon brought it back up. Her hair almost filled the whole tub. It was very, very long, but for school she did a ponytail and stuffed the ends as well under the ponytail, making it look half the length. She did this ever since her hair was long enough and since she started any school. She lay there a while, and then soon began to wash her hair taking large amounts of shampoo and conditioner.
She dried herself and put on a large Hanes T-shirt, serving as a short dress. She dried her hair and put on a sleeping cap, as well as her sleeping eye-cover thingies (please email me telling me how they're called!). She soon got sleepy and before drifting off to sleep, she told herself, "Tomorrow is a new day, as well as a new nightmare…" :Yawn:
:Next Day:
Sakura was wide awake at 6 in the morning. She stretched her arms wide. She walked to the bathroom, and took a quick shower. Once she was dry, she put on a long sleeved dark blue shirt and baggy overalls. She wore old, white and dark blue Converse and she put on her thick- rimmed glasses, and picked her hair up as always. She grabbed her house keys, and put them around her neck. She put on her heavy book bag and opened the door to step outside. She opened the door and stood face to face with a girl slightly taller than her, and had very bright hazel-green eyes. Her left eyebrow was raised in a perfect arch, and her sunglasses were on the tip of her nose. Sakura looked down and saw she had on a tight tropical dress that reached above her knees with a slit that reached half-way up her knee. Her hair was let go and she had a sun hat that matched her dress. She looked like an island goddess.
"Ay dios mio niña, no me digas que siempre te vistes asi! (Oh my god girl, don't tell me you always dress like that!)" said the girl who spoke very quickly and thick with attitude.
"Sakura!" said the girl who shook Sakura.
"Mirasi!" Sakura said as she smiled and hugged her.
"Hi girl!" said Mirasi as she took the liberty and stepped inside with her luggage.
"I-I wasn't expecting you!" said Sakura who was so happy.
"Yeah well… explain me something, why do you dress like that?" said Mirasi crossing her leg.
"It's called clothes." Sakura said plainly.
"Today, no school! You're coming with me!" she said with a Spanish accent. She quickly ran upstairs not even tripping on her high heels, and dragging Sakura behind her.
"But I have a test for school today!" Sakura complained.
"Ha! This is more important than a test." She said. Mirasi opened the door, and took off her hat and sunglasses, as well as her heels, and she suddenly became Sakura's height.
"What are you going to do anyways?" Sakura said.
"I can't handle seeing such a beauty hidden under such rags and insecurities. Today you will leave this house as a different girl." She said taking out a huge bag with cosmetics and eyebrow tweezers, etc.
She set up her things and took out her scissors.
"What are you doing?"
"Sakura, your hair is way too long! Plus in Cuba I was a professional hair stylist and I had my own beauty salon."
"Mirasi, you're not going anywhere with this, there is no way I can end up looking different."
"Oh but you will!" she said and snipped away.
:After a while:
Mirasi eyed Sakura. Her hair was now mid back, and had side-bangs. What else…
"Oh your eyebrows!" she said as she took out her eyebrow tweezers.
'Pluck' 'Pluck' 'Pluck' 'Pluck' 'Pluck' …
"Ow!"
Mirasi finished and she saw Sakura looked like a completely different girl. Her eyebrows had a beautiful shape, and were not too thin but not thick.
"Okay, we have to go shopping and go to the eye doctor, so I'll lend you some clothes so you can look decent. First, the eye doctor!"
"Oh Mirasi, it won't matter, kids will still bother me at school…"
"QUE! (WHAT!)" Mirasi screamed. "Kids bother you at school? Well not anymore. This girl you see here is not going to let it happen!"
"But how?"
"I have my ways."
:Grumble:
Sakura came out of the closet and had on a pair of blue stretch jeans, that showed off her wide hips. She had on a tight sleeveless white shirt that said 'Cuba' on it, that showed off her great body. Lastly she had on white flip flops.
"Que bonita! (How pretty!)" Mirasi said standing next to her, she too had changed into blue jeans and a black spaghetti strapped shirt and black Reebok's.
"You think?" Sakura said who was scared to look in the mirror.
"Girl you look beautiful, just LOOK!"
Sakura slowly turned around and saw somebody else. She couldn't believe it, the girl in front of her actually looked OK.
"Now to the eye doctor, you still need to lose those magnifying glasses." She said.
"But we don't have a ride."
"We'll take care of that later, now we could use the bus."
:After an Hour:
"Put them on already!" Sakura said.
"They are on!"
"For real?"
"Yes!"
"They're so comfortable."
"Now look!"
Sakura took the mirror in her hand and she could actually see her face clearly. No Blur. No Nothing. Just herself and her beautiful emerald eyes. She stood up and hugged Mirasi.
"Thank You!"
"So you agree this was more important tha a math test right?" Mirasi said with a sly look.
"Yes. Most definitely!"
"I'm glad you're happy. Now we need to go shopping!" Mirasi said excitedly.
:In the Mall:
"Mirasi how are we going to buy clothes?"
"I've been saving money for trips and things ever since I was small. And now I think I should use it." Mirasi said.
"But… No… that isn't fair, you should waste it on yourself but not me."
"Hay mas felicidad en dar, que en recibir."
"What does that mean?"
"It means there is more happiness in giving than receiving."
"Where'd you get that from?"
"The bible."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Oh, so where you want to go first?"
"Rave. It looks like they have cool clothes."
:After hours of shopping…:
Sakura and Mirasi both had bags and bags of shirts, pants, shoes, accessories, school book bags, school supplies (cute kind of course!), make up and of course sunglasses (Mirasi likes them obviously).
"I'm hungry." Said Mirasi. "Let's hit the food court."
"Ok…"
They sat down and ordered pizza and soda. Once they were satisfied they left and went home.
:At the Door:
"You need a car." Mirasi said.
"I know."
"And a cell phone." Mirasi added.
"Why?"
"So when I get mines, I could call you."
Sakura opened the door and saw Touya and Fujitaka watching TV in the living room.
"How'd you get in!"
"Uh… keys."
Touya came closer and looked at the keys.
"Where's Sakura?" he said.
"Touya, you don't recognize me?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Touya! It's me! SAKURA!"
"S-Sakura?"
"Yes T-Touya." She said mocking him.
"So it is you. What happened?"
"Oh. Excuse my rudeness. This is my pen pal who just came from Cuba. Her name is Mirasi Arinat, and she is 17 years old. She's starting classes with me tomorrow. And she helped me get my act together."
"Oh." Touya said as he turned to look at Mirasi. "Pleased to meet you." He said as he took out his hand. She grabbed it and pulled him to her and gave him a kiss on the cheek. (A/N: No she doesn't like Touya; it's just the way Cubans say hi to everyone.) Touya was surprised but Sakura gave him a reassuring look.
"She could stay in our guestroom." Said Fujitaka as he stood up from the couch. "It's right across from your room Sakura."
"That would be great!" Sakura said. She turned to Mirasi and said, "Mi casa es su casa. (My house is your house.)" In a very English accent.
She leaned to Sakura and whispered something to her, and she gracefully walked upstairs leaving Sakura behind.
"Um… dad…"
"Yes?"
"I need a car. I'm graduating this year, and I'm already old enough to get around, I even have my license."
"Okay…"
"Okay, I thought you were going to freak or something."
"No. See, before your mother died she put in money from savings she had in a bank account, apart from your college money, so you would have money for such things like a car."
"Really?"
"Yes, but until your old enough like Touya, I'll handle it for you. So you need a car? Okay, We'll go to the dealer in an hour or so."
"Uh…"
"Is there something else…?"
"Yes I need a cell phone too…"
"We'll take care of that too."
"Thanks dad!" she said as she hugged him tightly.
She walked upstairs and lay on her bed. She was so happy. She couldn't wait to show her friends her new look and all the kids who bothered her. She would have never imagined having such a body and face. And all that new clothes! She felt bad for Mirasi for not having much clothes, but then she saw the tons and tons of luggage that were full with almost about everything she bought. Just then Mirasi came in and sat next to Sakura.
"I can't wait to go to school tomorrow. I've heard it's very different from school in Cuba. Do you wear uniforms?"
"No, no uniforms."
"GREAT!" Mirasi said hands in the air and hair moving everywhere due to continuous headshaking.
(Sweat drop)
Mirasi stopped and then calmly turned her head saying, "So what did your dad say?"
"He said yes, and that my mom has a bank account for me and my brother with money for things like a car. I guess my dad never thought I needed one since he saw me so caught up in schoolwork and immaturities." She said with a big grin on her face.
After an hour or so, Fujitaka called the girls to come down to go to the dealer.
"I can't wait dad!" Sakura said running her hands through her straight sleek hair.
"As long as you're happy." (A/N: I wish I had a dad like that!)
They finally arrived to the BMW dealer.
"Dad are you sure you're in the right place?"
"Yes, I want the best for you, look at the car Touya has, it's a Corvette, I want you to have a nice car for you too." He said walking inside.
"How may I help you?" said a young man with black hair and light blue eyes.
Sakura and Mirasi both were behind Fujitaka and Touya, and Mirasi was looking at her nails when she quickly looked up. She did a double-take and couldn't stop staring at the man in front of her. 'Gorgeous' she thought.
"Mirasi?" Sakura said holding her hand up in front of her face.
"Huh?" she said still staring at the guy, who occasionally took a peek at Mirasi.
"He goes to my school you know. He's in my honors class. He's looking at you…"
"Shut up!" she whispered loudly to Sakura.
"Hahaha…" Sakura snickered.
"Well let's look at the cars out front." Said the young man who was named Lei.
"Well I want to find a car for my daughter Sakura right here." Fujitaka pointed to sakura.
"Sakura? Sakura Kinomoto?"
"In the flesh."
"Wow you look different, keep it up." he said honestly.
"Thanks. It was all thanks to my friend here her name is…"
"Mirasi Arinat." Finished Mirasi. She gake a kiss on the cheek to Lei.
Lei was calm about it. "So your Hispanic?" he said.
"Yes I'm Cuban." She said
"I'm from Puerto Rico, my parents are Japanese, and that explains my name."
"Cool."
"Ahem." Sid Fujitaka.
"Oh sorry, well we have a great selection, but one of our best cars and is the most to woman's liking, is the 252i." he said pointing to a black small car.
"I love it dad."
"Great."
:After all the paper work:
Sakura drove to a shop where they sold cell phones, and Fujitaka gave his daughter money for 2.
Sakura immediately saw the phone she liked. It was the pink baby phat cell phone with diamonds on it that included all the extra accessories. She had enough and plenty for Mirasi's cell phone.
Mirasi got a baby blue and white Sprint PCs with camera. They got a good plan and all they had to do was wait until their phone charged.
:On the drive back home:
"So you think Lei Ring is cute?"
"Cute? More like Caliente (Hot)."
"Well you'll probably have him for some classes." Sakura sighed. "Today's been so hectic and so many things have happened. Thanks for coming Mirasi. I don't know what I would've done without you."
"No problem. It was fun. And it's great to see you happy. And look what we've accomplished. You have new wardrobe and everything, a cute cell phone, a hot car, the greatest best friend, and you have the hope of getting back at everyone. And all for the cost of money and a stupid test." She said knowingly.
"Wait, getting back at everybody?"
"You don't plan to leave things how they are do you?"
"Uhhh… Yeah!"
"No, no, no, no!"
"Well maybe I'll give it a try." Sakura said and Mirasi smiled brightly.
They finally reached there destination and walked inside the house. It was time to go to sleep.
Sakura took a shower in her room, and Mirasi did in hers. Sakura put on her pajamas and so did Mirasi. Before going to her room, she set out clothes for Sakura to wear.
She chose tight black pants and a tight light pink short-sleeved shirt that said Sakura in black spray paint cursive letters. She chose black and light pink Reebok's, and a Black Jansport book bag (the cute kind.) Also she filled Sakura's backpack with all the new school supplies and then put in her cell phone inside a pencil pouch, so no one will want to steal anything. She chose a thin black scrunchy with a light pink Ribbon to go over. And then chose light pink sunglasses, along Sakura's silver hoops, necklace, bracelet, and ring. (Real Silver)
Mirasi set her baby blue book bag with new supplies and her cell phone as well, and decided she would choose her clothes tomorrow.
"I'll help you do your ponytail tomorrow." She said then yawned.
"G' night."
"Hasta Mañana (Until Tomorrow)." Mirasi said then collapsed on her bed.
Sakura lay in her bed and watched her clothes hanged on the closet knob, and all the empty shopping bags that she would throw away before she would drive to school. Her room was spotless and for an instant her life felt perfect, and to you maybe it seems perfect, but not for Sakura. She's scared deep down inside and doesn't know what to do for the mean time. So, she closes her eyes and tries to fall asleep, and eventually she does.
A/N: Hope ya'll like this chapter. I know it's moving quickly but I couldn't help myself. Well please review!
