Out to Get Me

Chapter Four
The Power to my Vulnerability
We hadn't made up yet. She called the house numerous times, but I just never answered ... until tonight.
I was waiting for a call from a friend, back in Tomoeda, and I didn't look at the number and picked up. I inwardly swore, fuck fuck fuck!
"Hello?" I said, as I tapped my pencil against my notebook.
"Kura?" I dropped the pencil and sat up, my eyes narrowed.
"Why are you calling me? We aren't friends anymore. I don't talk to two faced bitches thanks."
There was a sigh, on the other end of the phone and I immediately felt bad.
"Sorry Tomoyo." I said my voice soft.
There was a pause and another sigh. I felt so bad for jumping to conclusions.
"We aren't dating" She said and it was followed by another long pause.
I raised my finely shaped eyebrow, waiting for an answer.
"I turned him down today, saying friends are more important and maybe when his grow up and learn to accept you ... it'll change"
"Aw, Tomoyo ... you didn't have to do that. I wouldn't have gotten over it eventually ... I was just really hurt that ... you of all people would be the type to ditch me for some guy and his friends cant even accept me because the schools really fucked up."
I doodled all over my notebook; I have a tendency to do that over the phone.
Tomoyo giggled, "You know me better than that, and you have a horrible temper Kura ... " there was another long pause and I stopped drawing the 's' figure.
"Are we good now?" She asked me. I stared at the SAKURA I had drawn over my notebook. What happened to the innocent Sakura I was... what happened to her? Where did this bitch come from?
"Sakura?" I heard my name again, and snapped out of my depressing thoughts. "Sorry, mother was showing me a note, and I got caught up in reading it." I lied, and bit my tongue hoping she'd take it.
"Oh okay, I asked if we're good though..." She said once more, another long pause following. Man, too many freaking pauses in this conversation.
"Yes, no worries. We're perfectly fine!" I said as I let out a laugh and got off my bed examining my side view.
I'm looking pretty good lately, must be that new diet I'm on. The one where you stop eating sweets and sugars for 6 weeks.
"Kay well I'd better go, mother is ragging on me for being late to Piano lessons. See you tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yes, love you lots." I pressed the end button, and stared at it.
I tossed the phone on my bed and preceded to finishing my homework... man do I ever hate homework...
--
"So mother said I should get involved with something 'extra curricular' to meet new people and get my name out there!" I said, matching her tone from our earlier discussion.
The whole table started laughing, and I too joined in the fun. "That...was way... to priceless!" A silver haired boy George said, he had transferred here from Korea. Nice boy. I think he's gay though ...
I glanced up at the cream wall, reading the small clock's little hands. "Okay, well Tomoyo lets go" I said, as I got up and grabbed my new GUESS purse and grabbed my tray to dump into the garbage.
I waited for Tomoyo and we walked out of the café together. She was ranting on how about mother wants her to sign up for the R&B or Hip hop dance classes.
She stopped abruptly, her hand resting on my forearm. Her face held a look of terror, and I looked forward to see what the huge stink was about. Nothing ordinary there, I continued to look around and still... nothing.
"WHAT?" I blurted out, blushing at the people who stopped and stared.
"We...we could join t-together!" She was shaking with excitement, and my eyes widened. "O-Oh No..." I said, as I started walking backwards, my hands up in defense. She started laughing, that silly little nervous laugh and I collided with something hard...
"Shit" I said as I fell down, almost sitting on the object.
I happened to look back, and immediately got up. I sent a glare towards Tomoyo who was now laughing full force.
"Sorry." I muttered out, my eyes narrowing. His brown hair glistened through the school's poor lighting. I snorted ... almost out loud too.
He glanced up, and for once in my whole crappy high school life, I was blown away. I opened my mouth to say something but ... nothing was there.
I just shut my mouth and glared at him, before turning around and stalking off, my limbs feeling numb.
"Kinomoto." I heard my name, and stopped. Tomoyo was still giggling, and I gave her the finger. Take that!
I turned around, stiffly though. How come I'm so nervous? Gah.
I stood in front of him, and leisurely relaxed. "I said sorry already." I was glancing down at my perfectly manicured nails that I got done recently. They were prettier than his face...
Okay, I lied. So what? An itty bitty lie wouldn't ever hurt anyone right? RIGHT!
... As long as it never ever got out.
Okay, Sakura ... swear to yourself, right here and now you'll never ever admit that he's attractive.
SYAORAN LI IS THE UGLIEST MAN ALIVE!
... Or not.
Eep!
I glanced up at him, and he was staring down at me, his bright amber eyes searching mine. I looked back at my nails; I couldn't have him searching me like he's really into some book that he's reading. Fuck that buddy; you do NOT get the satisfaction, knowing that you got into Sakura Kinomoto when she was feeling vulnerable!
"I know, I wanted to hear I'm sorry Syaoran though." He said as he stepped closer, I looked up in alarm. "Oh hell no" I muttered out and stepped back, this time looking around me.
"T-Tomoyo" I said, as I stepped a few feet back, only to have him step up to me again.
Fuck fuck fuckkkk. I scanned the area, looking for a place to run. Funny, how we're in the middle of the hallway and no one is caring.
Well, I guess that's what you get for going to a stupid dumb school full of rich kids. Gah.
"Calling for your friend now? What happened to big, bad Sa-ku-ra..." He stepped forward, with each syllable of my name. I swear, his eyes flashed dangerously. Was he going to rape me!?! OH MY GOD.
I gulped. "She uh... she's ..." I couldn't say anything, he was too close. I've never had anyone been this close to me before and expect me to be grouchy ass kicker Sakura.
Underneath it all, there was a girl ... a girl who liked boys but never vowed herself to date. There were too many imperfections, sure a guy could get over them and find her attractive, but ... until she got over them and found herself truly beautiful...
Sakura Kinomoto would stay away from boys. Tomoeda was my one regret and I'd never repeat it. I never want to go back or see that boy again!
He was right up against me; I could feel his breath on my face and neck. That is it. I gritted my teeth, and narrowed my eyes. I had to, I couldn't let this ... oh so very attractive guy ... ruin my life...
I wouldn't do it.
"Syaoran Li." I said, gaining my alternative back, I glanced back to Tomoyo who was standing there, her eyes wide...
With stars.
FUCK! Tomoyo's planning my wedding with some asshole and thinking about our babies and filming our first date and our first time doing it in his hot tub! DIRTY.
"Kinomoto. I like it when you say my name when you're all cracked up. It..." He leaned in, so close that I nearly jumped when he started whispering in my ear.
"It gets me all horny when you say my name..." He said as he pulled away and smirked.
"DIRTY" I screamed out, and pushed him away. I put my hands on his chest and pushed, as hard as I could. I pushed and when I was free from his ugly little rasp. I took a fucking run for it.
I ran to the end of the hallway, not daring to look back, and pushed open the doors, the sunlight streaming in on my face. I just... I wanted to run. Correction, I needed to run for it.
--
I ran and ran until I reached some little park, I was sure they wouldn't find me here. I sat down on the park, my auburn hair tumbling over my shoulder. It was still slightly curly from this morning. I played with my toes in the sand for god knows how long and finally decided to look up when I saw a car pull up.
Out stepped a fairly attractive man, his dark hair glistening under the sun and his dark pants sure giving his ass a nice view. Mmmm-mmmm good if you ask me.
I realized who he was and wanted to make a mad dash for it. Fuck, EW, dirty, I just called Eriol ... hot. GROSS!
He strided over to me and sat down. The swing sagging when he sat down. "That tells me your too fat to be sitting here... beside me." I said, as I tried to inch away, failing to realize that I'd just swing back to where I was sitting before, possibly closer.
He just closed his eyes, letting the slight wind play with his hair. "What are you doing here?" I asked him, my voice soft. I didn't seem him open his mouth to talk or anything, so I just looked down at the sand, my feet were tucked in it, warm and security filled them.
Kay seriously... What. The. Hell. Is wrong?!
"Syaoran is an ass." He said, finally after god knows how long. I looked up, my eyes narrowing. "I could have told you that."
Eriol let out a hearty laugh, okay so maybe ... maybe he isn't as bad...
I sighed and looked up at the sky, the blueness staring back at me, why... why am I acting this way? What has gotten into me...?
I felt something stir deep inside me, that feeling that you get right before something bad happens. And then once it happens, the feeling kinda nags at you as if its trying to say Hahaha, I knew and you didn't! Told ya so!
I gripped my side, and leaned over. The pain increasing. Probably a bad stomach ache or something, I ignored that feeling and looked up. Eriol sat there, slightly rocking himself, his eyes closed.
"Okay dude, seriously... what the hell is your problem? Are you stalking me? Is Sya-Li after me?" I couldn't say his name considering that he said it makes him excited.
That's just dirty okay? No matter how hot I secretly think he is. That's just dirty.
"I don't want to see him right now. He's a horny bastard." He said to me finally after god knows how long. I sat up straight, and looked around.
"Okay, this is starting to freak me out. I have to go now." I said as I jumped off the seat and slipped into my sandals. I looked around before walking off.
I kept glancing back at Eriol who was sitting on the swing, a wide grin placed all over his face. What the hell is wrong with these people?!
I ran back to school just in time for fourth period, and I headed into the class taking my seat. The teacher got up, a smile pasted on her face. What... the...
"Class! We have a new student! Arata Ki" She said, her fat little hands clasped in front of her body.
My eyes widened, Arata walked in, and I felt like I wanted to die.
I looked down quickly, and I knew he was flashing a smile to the crowd, girls were swooning.
He walked past me, tapped my shoulder, and sat down behind me. "Kuuura" He called out, his voice soft and gentle ... yet betrayal filled me.
"Sick fuck, stay away from me." I said as I proceeded to copy the notes down from the board and do my work. I couldn't deal with this too!
--
I pressed the phone harder to my ear, uncertainty filling my voice. "Oh Tomoyo... I'm scared." I said as I fumbled for my keys and opened the smaller gate to our house. I shut it behind me, waiting for a click and moved on when I heard one.
"Don't be, Syaoran and Eriol are just being retarded. You know how they are, all cocky and defiant. Thinking they own you, hunny ... they don't. Although, it'd be nice if you and Syaoran got together. He's kinda cute you know!"
I glared at nothing and entered through the backdoor. "That's dirty." I nodded to the body guard guy thing we had stationed at our house for dads protection...
Oh and us. But, like I could care!
I climbed the stairs to my room two by two and shut the door when I got in. I leaned against the door, and sighed. This ... was getting hectic.
"Oh but Arata moved here now ... I ..." I said, as I placed a hand over my chest and sighed, calming my heart rate.
"Oh... Arata... I remember him. You're first boyfriend for three years. Kura, no worries. He's only in one of your classes. You have good friends in that class. Chi's in that class, she's just not here today. Just don't, don't give in to him. Sure, he might tell people he once dated a softer you but ... just don't worry about it. " She said to me, her voice comforting and I smiled, knowing it'll work out in the end no matter how hard it gets.
"I just hope he doesn't start spreading rumors that I fucked his dog or something nasty like that. Because ... I know he'd do a sick thing like that." I said, not really recognizing my own voice.
"If he does ... do it RIGHT back! Play the game Sakura. I know you're good at this, it's who you are. Don't be scared of a little baby boy, who's acting like a retard because you've moved on! Oh, mothers here. I gotta go, call me later. Love you!" And then the line went dead and I moved to my bed where I fell down in exhaustion. This... wasn't going to be a pretty year. And today, today was a bad day. I let my guard down for what, maybe 10 minutes?
How horrible.
I groaned and hit my head repeatedly into my pillow. I heard something outside my window, and slowly peeked over the ledge. Just... just the dog.
I let out a breath and laid back down, sleep succumbing to me.
