3- Changings! 1st Day! Pain!
Part two"Is that my littel spring flower?" – asked her grandfather
"GRANDPA!" – she screamed and run to his arms – "I missed you so much!"
"Oh... You ain't so little anymore... But you are still my spring flower..."
"Oh... And nope i ain't little anymore!"
"You grow and are more beautiful... You finally decided to come home, and now you are buying... Well I'm giving it to you the furniture..."
"Grandpa... You can't..."
"Now... Now you aren't going to stop me from spoiling one of my grandchildren. Specially one I don't see for so long...!"
"Okay... But all I wanted was to see you!"
"And now you have seen me. Lwts choose the furniture, since you already have the flat!"
"And thank you for giving it to me. I thought Tomoyo would want it to herself!"
"She did but she didn't gave me anyvalid reasons for it, and I have been saving that flat for you!" – he said – "So shall we go choose the furniture?"
"Yes!"
She followed her instinct like her friend E told her to.
She choose three single beds, but the bed sheets were different, they were red, blue and pink, she choose nightstands and chandelier that matched. She also chosed a desk, a chair and a sofa. She also chosed different types of cushions, and bed covers.
She chosed a kitchen table, and for the living room a couch, a coffe table, two bookcases and some picture frames.
The curtains were all the same type, japanese in different colours and styles. In the living room they were white and beige, in the bed rooms it was pink with osiris eyes stamped in white, blues with yellow stars and red with black moons. (n.a: I probably forgot something but later, I'll added it so bare with me. If you think it misses something please tell me)
"Thank you so much for everything grandpa!"
"You welcome... But this isn't all I have a surprise for you..."
"What?"
"You'll see it later, don't worry. Now shall we go for lunch?"
"Sure. Dad?"
"Sorry sweetie but I need to go to the unniversity, to resolve some issues from this dig and for the other!"
"You are thinking about quitting?" – asked her grandpa.
"Yes, although I was away in a dig for about 8 years I'm still consider a teacher, but I don't think that is right!"
"If you put it that way. It make sense! But what are you going to do next?"
"I have offers in another digs, some in Egypt, others in Japan, China, Portugal..."
"China?" – asked Sakura
"Yes it is for the most poweful Clan, they want me. I didn't understand why me. They are willing to wait for me!"
"And will you do it?"
"Yes, but now it isn't time for talking about it. Now have fun with your grandpa. And don't worry about a thing. Worry only about your life. Okay?"
"Fine... Bye daddy!"
They went through differents ways. Her father to the unniversity and her and her garndfather went to a restauran near her new flat so she can be there on time to sign the contract.
"So spring blossom tell me why your cousin can't know you are back?" – he asked taking a seat.
"Because I want to see something first. I want to be sure about a simple detail"
"I understand you, but now thatn you are back how it feel to be home and the possibility to be again popular?"
"I don't know 'cause I'm not popular!"
"You are not? How came? Ypu were the most beautiful girl and you still are!"
"Simply because I don't want to be. I don't care about popularity and status anymore. This happened because when I was awy for 8 years that didn't really matter. Now I prefer being myself!"
"Finally one of my grandchildren can think with his head on their shoulders!"
"What do you mean?"
"I was hopingone of you would be like Nadeshiko, that one of you could see through the veil society put on you, so you can see what it really matters. And only you Sakura of the four could do it. You are just like your mother!"
"Thank you grandpa... I can lose so much with what I am about to do, but after seeing who I really am, and that being popular doesn't mean not having friends, in fact you can see who your true friends are. I can't go back now!"
"I'm glad, you can't. You are so much stronger than people would have thought. But you must promise me you go easy on them, I'll help you with everything you need but you can't be too tough."
"Thank you and I won't, it would br fair to them, I'll be only me..."
"You'll go to their school?"
"Yes but has Karza Amanya!"
"Come again?"
"That was how they used to call me in Egypt. I don't want them to find out that I'm back. At least not for now!"
"I see you want to see what you become..."
"Something like that..." – she said with a mischievious grin.
"I don't if this Sakura will be good for them, well but they need a reality check!"
"I don't know anything about that!"
"Well lets get going you need to sign the contract and then enlistin Seijuu highschool. Too bad I can't take you to the beneficence ball next week you are the only one that can make them less boring!"
"If you want I'll go has a waitress, and try to make it easy for you!"
"No Sakura Amanya Kinomoy«to you won't do such a thing. You are one of my heirs, and you can't work likr that!"
"You know it wouldn't be the first time!"
"You can't be serious?"
"Yes I am! I wroked for a local pub with a friend in Cairo!"
"Nonetheless you are in Tomoeda. Please promise you won't take jobs like that!"
"I can't promise you that. I won't you or my father take care of me if I can do it myself! But I can promise I'll work in decent places and won't do anything degrading to my image!" – she said seriously.
"But..."
"Being a waitress it isn't a degrading job. Don't worry!" – they were walking towards the flat.
"I would prefer looking after you, but I can see I won't change your mind!"
"You are right!"
"Here you are... oh... Hello Mr. Amanya I didn't knew you knew this young lady" – aid the sales lady.
"I would give a flat to a stranger... I don't think so- And you won't say word to any of my relatives. If the word got out I'll have your head..." – he said.
"Sorry sir... I didn't know the miss..."
"Stop right there. He is my grandfather!"
"Sorry well... Lets sign thsi shall we?"
"Yes!"
She read the contract, that was odd for the agent, 'cause it belong to her grandfather, but to him was just her being carefulllike he always taught her to be.
She received her keys and the agent left them alone, she saw once again the apartment seeing what would need to be fixed like the colour of the walls and how she could display the furniture.
"What else do you need?"
"Nothing!"
"I won't support it afterwards, but this apartment is my welcomeback present for you. And if you don't tell me how you wnat it I can't do nothing about it. So how will it be?"
"Fine, I'll design everything so you can sedn the painters but the last touch will be mine."
"Don't you prefer painting yourself?"
"You don't mind? Really?"
"No but I need to know only what you need!"
"Thank you so much!"
She gave him a list of the supplies she would need! Not only for painting, but also for cleaning, and after that the only thing that will miss was the furniture.
"So this all you need?"
"Yes that is all!"
"Okay I'll have everything send it here tomorrow..."
"Thank you!"
"But one things will be easier to find, the red and the pink paint, the blue will only come in a week or so..."
"Don't worry for now I only need the pink for my room, and ther ed for one of the guest rooms."
"Okay, so lets go... You have to take care of other business!"
"I do?"
"Yes, school!"
"Do I have to?"
"Yes, you have to. And if you need anything talk to the principal and call me, I'll talk to him over the phone!"
"Okay... Bye grandpa!" – she kissed her grandfather goodbye, and left to the highschool.
Sakura POV
My grandpa is the best. He helped me so much. But then he had to remember me that I had to go to school. I don't know why but I'm dreading going there. I have a gut feeling that something will happen something I won't like!
"Maybe you shouldn't go ahead with the plan!"
Here you go again... My conscience. I will go ahead with it even if that means wrecking everything there was always granted to me, to them. I need to know.
Damm I arrive here really fast!
End of POV
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice the students, specially the male students eyeing her from head to toe, well even if she noticed she wouldn't care about it.
"It is time!" – she told herself.
She walked through the gates, and then through the yard until she got to the school doors. She hesitate a little to push the door open, but she gather all her strengh and she opened, if she was brave enough to fight 2 drunk men in Egypt that could kill her any moment during the fight, it wouldn't be a stupid school and a stupid student body that would intimidate her.
She went directly to the admission office (n.a: don't kill me I don't know how it is called the place where you go in the school to apply for it)
"Good afternoon may I help you miss?"
"Amanya, Karza Amanya. Ad yes you may I would like to know if there are any vacant position for your senior year?"
"We have some in fact. Why?"
"I would like to finish my highschool year in this school! Here are all my pappers!"
"Okay... Hum... In here it says your name is..."
"I know what it says but I'll attending has Karza Amanya!"
"But that can't be!"
"Yes it can!"
"But!"
"What seems to be the problem?" – asked someone behind Sakura.
"Nothing Mr. Tsukishiro" – the lady told the men behind her – "It is just a misunderstanding with a new student."
"What is it about?"
"Well it is quite simple, I assume you are the headmaster?"
"Yes I am!"
"I came from Egypt and I want to attend this highschool but there are some small problems!"
"And they are?" – she showed him her pappers – "Mrs Price, I'll take care of this, and not a word about her to anyone. Did I make myself clear?"
"Yes, sir!" – she gave him the pappers for her to enlist the school.
"Folllow me!" – he instructed her.
Headmaster office
"So miss Kinomoto is a pleasure to finally meet the last one of Mr. Amanya heirs. What can I do for you?"
"You already know I want to attend the senior year in this school!"
"So what was the problem with Mrs. Price?"
"The proble is quite simple I don't anyone to know that I'm back. I don't want to anyone know me has Sakura Kinomoto but has Karza Amanya!"
"But that is impossible!"
"No it isn't. Before I left to Egypt my school records were under the name has Sakura Amanya Kinomoto, in Egypt they are has Karza/SAkura Amanya Kinomoto. You see I'm already graduated from highschool last month!"
"You are?"
"Yes..."
"So why are attending the last semester of senior year?"
"I want to go to Toudai, the best college in Japan, and for that I need to be at ease with the way you teach in here. For me I'd only do the exams to go to college but my father want me to attend school so I don't loose balance in the studies..."
"You need to be an excellent student to manage to have this marks, but you are like an exchange student, don't worry about a thing you can attend the senior year under the name has Karza Kinomoto, an exchange student from Egypt. as long as you help bringing the school to higher standarts..."
"Thank you..."
"You welcome you'll begin tomorrow!"
"Already?"
"Yes, you see in Japan we don't wasre time. You can go and get your uniform!"
"Come again?"
"In this school we wear uniform..."
"Sorry but I won't use such a thing! I refuse to use something that its only purpose is to make all the students look the same, to try and avoid popularity ranks, but this faills miserably ding so. For 8 years I didn't use them and I won't start doing it now...!"
"But it is necessary!"
"I told you I won't use it!"
"But..."
"I promise myself I wouldn't resort to my grandfather!" – she thought to herself
"But you have to wear an uniform!"
"Wanna bet. I will never wear a thing that destroy our own individuality. I will not be another pone of the lambs you have in this school!"
"I can see you won't, very well, since you defended so vehemently your position you don't have to use it. But be aware you'll be for now the only student not to wear it, please don't start a revolution!"
"Don't worry I won't!"
"But if I open an exception to you, for the others I'll have to open it too But I only will do it if they give valid reasons!"
"I don't care about it... but you must do has you want to!"
"I think your attendance in this last semester will be interesting!"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Just that you need to prepare yourself for your first day tomorrow. Tomorrow you'll have to go and meet Mrs Price to know what is your class, your timetable, your locker and what books you need!"
"Thank you!"
"Remember make this school proud!"
"I'll do my best!" – she said and then left the office.
"I can see that a storm is coming, Miss Sakura will definetively shock every student specially the popular crowd. I can't wait for tomorrow."
Outside the Hedmaster office
Sakura was walking down the main hall, when she saw a very familiar unruly chocolate hair and waist lengh ravn hair, but they wern't alone. When she saw him her heart begun to beat faster and skiping some beats. Her hands begun to be slightly wet. She was nervous.
Sakura POV
Calm down, he is handsome, more that he already was, but now it isn't the time to be like this. Now you ain't Sakura Kinomoto, the girlfriend of Xiao Lang Li, but Karza Amanya, the student that will shock every single one of the students, you are now an exchange student from Egypt. A rebel student.
I need to be calm, breath slowly, nice and easy. Now that I'm clamer let me see what they are up to.
End of POV
Sakura walked slowly to see what they were still doing in there since classes are over about a hour ago. And then it happen, her whole world went down the drain, her world was shattered into tiny pieces.
He was flirting with a girl, with another girl, and he said in his letter that they were the ones who flirt with him. She was seeing the other way around, and she wasn'r blind or seeing things.
"That liar... that bastard!" – she muttured to herself
"Syaoran..." – she heard the girl saying battering her eyelashes with to much energy making her look a easy kind of girl (n.a: slut) using also an over sweet voie trying to make it sound like a moan.
"Syaoran? Since when he adopted his Japanese nama, negleting his true name?" – she asked herself. If Sakura wasn't only looking to Syaoran and Tmoyo she would have recognise that annoying voice.
"You two make such a Kawaii couple... How come two never went out on a date?" – Tomoyo asked excited.
"Because..." – begun the other girl but was interrupted by a gush of wind passing by them. Tomoyo and Syaoran saw a glimpse of auburn hair, he smell cherry blossoms and straberries, but decided to ignore it, thinking it was only their imagination.
Sakura POV
They lied to me... That bastards lied to me... They don't deserve my tears, neither do I deserve such pain. How could they do that to me. I thought Tomoyo was my bestfriend and that he truly did loved me.
I guess I was wrong. I guess they were just playing with little old naive Sakura Kinomoto that is still in Egypt.
I won't tel them that I'm back. I'll go forward with my plan. But now knowing what scumbag they really are my onjective is another one.
I'll Karza Amanya and I'll not be a weakling, I'll be strong and find the truth behind their words.
"That is a good girl. Don't jmp into conclusion. Make everything clear. And then decide what you want to do."
But first I'll call him. And ask him to send the letters earlier then I wanted. To send them through FedEx, let's spice things up. Let see if they really care about little old me.
End of POV
Sakura cried all the way back home and only calmed down a little when she went to her room after 20 minutes she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"E!"
"What Kari?"
"Can you send the letter through FedEx today?"
"Sure. But what is the rush?"
"I saw something I didn't like it!"
"Like what?" – the person on the other line asked worried.
"Like he flirting with a girl and she approving it, something like that!"
"Oh Kari, how are you feeling?"
"How do you expect I'm feeling."
"Like crap!"
"That is putting in a way, let me tell you more detailed, my heart is more shattered than it ever was and it hurts so damm much I want to take it out. Does that clarify it!"
"I guess you are not alright! But be strong. And my surprise will arrive early. One will be within one to two weeks the other maybe will take three weeks. Okay?"
"Okay, but only for you. Thank you... I can't wait to my surprises..."
"Then have your house ready... Bye..."
"Bye..."
She got of her phone and lay down on her bed thinking what has happen to her in the last eight years and specially about she witnessed just momnets ago. Although she said she was going to be be strong she cried, she cried herself to sleep.
Meanwhile
School entrance hall
"What was that?" – asked Tong
"Nothing just a gush of wind!" – said the girl Syaoran was flirting with
"Are you sure? I thought I saw someone." – said another girl.
"It is must unlikely, we are the only ones left. Right Tom?" – asked Syaoran
"Yep." – said Tomoyo – "But you were saying?"
"Oh yeah... We never went out on a date because he never asked me to one!"
"That is not true I did ask you out but you were already going out with Jim!"
"Well now I'm not... You can ask me!" – she said with a sexy voice to get his attention, she was also drawing circles on his uniform shirt, above his heart, he didn't like to be touched, well only by one person but she wasn't there, she was never there.
"No!" – he said colly.
"No? How can you say no to me after fliriting with me all day through the last few months?"
"Simply he didn't?" – said Tong.
"Yes he did!" – said one of her friends, the same one that saw Sakura, to their retreating backs.
"No you flirted with him for years, and he thought it was cruel leaving you doing it. And you said no to the first time he asked you out. You should have known that Syaoran doesn't ask twice the same girl. Specially if they are popular (cough) slut (cough)" – said Tomoyo
"You said we looked Kawaai together!"
"I don't remeber how many times I said that. Remember he is Syaoran. There is nobody that can have him. He is a player, you just have been played... Now go back to your boyfriend I think he is waiting for you!"
"You'll pay for this. But for now be aware of that! Lets go Kelly!" – she said sprinting by them.
"I think this "I think this time we exceed ourselves!" – said Tong – "But also that we were to cruel to her, she is after all the cheerleading captain squad and you the soccer captain you should get along1"
"I don't care about that... she will get over it. I'll see ya tomorrow. Don't worry about a thing!" – said Syaoran when they reached the bifurcation that lead to their homes. Each had to take a different path, well kind of, only Tong took a differnt, he was going to the right and Tomoyo and Syaoran were going through the left.
"See ya!" – said Tomoyo after a while.
"Tomoyo I think Tong was right, this time we went a little to far!"
"I agree with you, but your long face is because of what?"
"When you said we looked "kawaii together", and then I swear I saw auburn hair floating through us and I smell her scent, when we felt that of wind. I think she would be ashamed and hurt if she saw us doing that!"
"I know, the kawaii was always for the both of you but then the word took other proportions, but kawaii couple is only you and her!!! I also saw that. But it is impossible that it was her. She would have told us that she had come back!"
Little did they that was exactly what she did.
"But she changed a little, don't you think that? In her letters and her rare phone calls I noticed she isn't the same!"
"You are giving that to much importance, she is Sakura, my best friends, the girl you love and the most popular girl in Tomoeda. And that will never change."
"Tom, I don't know but I think you are wrong about that?"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know is just a feelin I have specially when I re-read her letters, she isn't the same"
"You miss her don't you?"
"Yes more than anyone can imagine. Every day that goes by I can't wait for her return, to see her emerald eyes, or her shoulder lengh, her sweet voice and her timid way of being. It's like I've been incomplete for the past 8 years!"
"So why do you flirt with all those girls and get their attention, even going on first dates?"
"The same reason you keep on saying that I look "kawaii together" with all of them. Status and popularity!"
"Touché... You are right... If she was here things would be much easier!"
"This is your stop!"
"We are here!"
"Yep..."
"See ya tomorrow..." – she said but he didn't left right away, he waited for her to check her mailbox, to see if there was a letter from Sakura, he touched his left wrist to calm his unsteady beating heart, where, he touched the bracelet she had gave him before she left. The bracelet wwas white god with a rectangular medal that had written "XL & SK 4EVER IN LUV"
They had this routine since she had left. If there was he would go straight home as faster as his strong legs could, so he could read her letter, and seeing it writen that she still love him. But if tehrre wasn't anything he would go to the bridge where he told her that he loved her for the first time, the place where she said it back and the place where they become a couple.
She shook he head and got into her house, he went to Penguin Park and then to the Bridge to stay all alone. When he was walking to there he looked ike a tired man, like he whole world was on her back, but it was his world a.ka. her. Sakura was his whole world, so he was tired of living in there without her, living in a place where everywhere he went there was a memory of her... After all the place was full of Sakura tress, her favourites.
Tomoyo POV
My name is Tomoyo Daidoudjii and I've lived in Tomoeda all of my life nothing has changed since I was born except for the fact that my bestfriend since the time we were born has changed to a differeent country. And for the last eight years she has ived in Egypt.
I only know what he told me in her letters. That she loved it there, she had new friends, and has helped her dad and the others on the dig, translating the inscritions.
I most tell you that the saddest day of my life it was only when she left but it was exactly one year later when I received a letter from her saying that her stay there was indeterminated, when I rread my expectation of having her come back were broken.
So instead of drowing mysel in grief, that was something she wouldn't want me to do. So I didn't, Iused my popuarity to get through everything.
Now everything is great. Syaoran and I are the most popular in highschool, everyone respet us, want to be our friends, even just the opportunity for us to talk to them or they just want to be us. I also want my popularity to be intact so when she cames back she can be once again the most popular girl in school.
The worst part is that I have to act like I did moments ago in school. I do that to maintain Syaoran's and mine popularity, the wrose part of being populars i that I have to pretend to like evry girl that try to get Syaoran's attention or that flirts with him. But he has the worse part he has to date them and flirt with them like they were Sakura. It is sick!!!
The funny part is the all the girls that flirt with him and then listen us talk about Sakura think he are taking about them. How wrong are they, they even think when he smiles, one of his rare smiles when she call us it is because they are passing by him. How stupid can they get!!!!!!
I miss her but he is the one who suffer the most in the last eight years. I lost count on how many ickets he bought to go to Egypt, but he never went. I really don't why he nver told me the reason for giving up. But I don't push the subject further!
I'm sure everything would be much easier and fun if she had nevr left or if she come back during the past years. But I'm even more sure our lifes wouls be happier and easier if she come back!!!!
I just wish she would come back! So everything would be alright!!!!
End of POV
Little did she know she was already back and iit was in deep pain. That everything instead of being easier in fact it wil be a ot more difficult... No the fun it would begin...
N.a: so what do you think... Did you like it... I love writing it... In the ent chapter we will get to see the students reactions to Sakura's arrival...
