Chapter Six: Wanting to Vanish
1st CCS fic by Fizzalicious Cherri
Sakura didn't know how to hide her face for the rest of the school day. She just wanted to disappear right on the spot, for she had enough of everybody walking by her and giving her a face, or telling her that she was a slut.
I hate you Aki, I HATE YOU... Her thoughts were focused on revenge, even if she didn't know how too. Since she was a little kid until now, she had never really had so much hatred in her life. Now she felt that the main emotion running through her was anger, hate, and most of all, pain.
She slowly sat down by herself at an empty cafeteria table, not really wanting to look up at the many faces around her. They must all be glaring at me...She thought sadly.
Suddenly she felt a splash of liquid on her face as she gave a yelp of surprise. The cafeteria broke into laughter and Sakura quickly wiped some of the juice off her face and glared at the person before her.
It was a girl that wasn't in any of her classes, but she recognized her as a girl named Taylor. "Oops, sorry Kinomoto-san. I accidentally got juice all over you!! I'm so sorry!!" She apologized sweetly and took out some tissue from her pocket. "Here, let me help you." She offered and leaned over to roughly wipe the rest of the juice off.
Sakura pushed her hand aside and stood up quickly from her seat, grabbed her glass of juice and threw it at Taylor. "Oops! I guess my hand is just extra slippery today." Sakura shot back.
Taylor wiped off the juice and glared at her with anger in her eyes. She grabbed a sandwich from the table next to her and shoved it at Sakura's face.
Sakura did the same except with the salad she had been eating before. Taylor screamed as she tried to get salad dressing out of her eyes. "Bitch!!!" She yelled and stormed off.
Sakura sat down again and noticed that the room was staring at her. "What?!" She screamed and they all went back to eating.
"...You ok?"
"Do I look ok?" Sakura muttered back as the amber eyed boy who took a seat across from her. "Where's your girl?"
"Bathroom," He replied. "Um..."
Sakura looked at him a bit. "Huh? What?"
"You kinda.."
"What?!" Sakura didn't get the expression on Syaoran's face.
He leaned over and his face was so close to Sakura's, and she had no idea what he was doing. Then, with one hand he flicked something off of her face.
"A small chunk of cheese," Syaoran explained and sat back down with a small smile.
Sakura blinked twice and started giggling. Syaoran's smile grew wider, "So are you sure you're going to be alright?"
"Yeah..." She replied.
XingMei approached them and hooked one arm around Syaoran's. "Xiaolang!! Here you are...I was looking all over the place!!"
"Sorry Mei."
"Oh well, at least I found you. Let's go!" She started dragging him away, and Syaoran looked over his shoulder and gave Sakura a wink and left.
Sakura couldn't help but suddenly feel all energetic again. Li-kun is always so nice to me...and I've been so mean to him ever since he came back...maybe I can forget the past...and be nice to him again...
"Thomas!! I don't believe you actually got Kinomoto to go out with you," Kyojin laughed.
Thomas shrugged and grinned, "I'm good, dude. Better than you."
"Nah," Kyojin replied. "I could've done the same to any girl. I mean, who would let up a chance to go out with me."
"No one of course," Aki replied sweetly.
Thomas rolled his eyes. "You two make me sick."
Kyojin chuckled and pecked Aki's cheek. "Poor Kinomoto."
Aki made a cute mad face. "What do you mean poor Kinomoto? She deserves it."
"Well..." Kyojin begun and smirked. "She deserves it, and more."
Aki grinned, "And for one second there I thought you meant something else."
"Hey hey, you two, there she is." Thomas nodded his head towards Sakura who was walking there way, and reading some magazine.
Aki smirked, and as Sakura walked nearer she loudy said, "Oh look who's coming. The school's little whore."
Sakura continued walking, the magazine still up to her face, pretending she didn't know who Aki meant. She was walking by Aki when she suddenly felt like she tripped over something which happened to be Aki's foot.
"And where do you think you're going?" Aki questioned as Sakura quickly got up.
"That's none of your business," Sakura replied with her head held high.
Everyone else in the hallway stopped to listen.
Aki smiled, and Sakura didn't like that smile..."Oh really? You're probably going to the hotel or something." She snorted. "Who are you going to do it with next huh?"
Everyone started laughing and Sakura turned bright red and her emerald eyes flared. "I have never done it with anyone OK?" She yelled back.
Aki smirked and laughed, "Yeah right, who's going to believe that, right Kyojin?"
Kyojin shrugged, "Sakura honey, don't you remember having sex with me that night?" He smirked and everyone gasped.
"Kinomoto really did it already?!" Someone cried out.
"WOW!! She's not a virgin!!" A guy screamed.
Sakura fumed, "I NEVER HAD SEX BEFORE!!" She screamed loudly.
She could hear murmers and whispers going around in the room. Sakura whipped her head around at everyone and said calmly, "I never had sex before." She repeated. "And, I'm still a virgin." She added as she walked away briskly.
Aki narrowed her eyes, "Maybe now you are, but maybe later you won't be."
"Kero, can I please please please use my cards to teach someone a lesson?" Sakura pleaded Kero as she sat cross legged in front of the guardian beast.
Kero shook his head. "You can't use magic to do this type of thing. Magic is serious stuff Sakura, you can't fool around with it."
Sakura sighed, "I know...but...but I really hate this girl so bad I wish I could seriously...kill her!!"
"Ah...anger makes you say this type of stuff Sakura, but if you seriously think about it, would killing this girl be a smart move?" Kero said wisely.
Sakura sweatdropped, "Stop trying to sound like you know everything."
Kero frowned, "Fine." Then he suddenly grinned widely. "But since I gave you such valuable advice, do I get pudding?"
Sakura rolled her eyes and stretched her legs. "But I can't stand Aki anymore."
"Well, as long as you know she's the real idiot, then you're ok." Kero said. "Come on Sakura, cheer up! You're the wonderful mistress of the powerful Sakura cards!! Don't let a girl like Aki put you down."
Sakura sat there listening to Kero's words and her lips slowly turned into a smile. "Arigatou Kero." She gave him a bear hug which sent Kero gasping for air. "You're the best."
"No problem," Kero replied with swirly eyes.
It was another new school day, and Sakura relunctanlty went to school to face it.
Ok Sakura...you can do this. Stand tall, be strong, and show them that you're now going to be easy to knock down!! Sakura thought in her mind as she stepped through the school doors with cofidence.
She had seriously thought that once she stepped into the school doors, something bad would happen, but so far so good. Strange enough, no one else was in the school hallways which started to make Sakura feel worried.
Maybe I'm late for class...but I swear I got up on time...like seriously on time... But then as she got closer to homeroom, she saw a big crowd there.
Sakura frowned as she pushed her way to the front. It better not have something to do with me...
"I am a bitchy slutty whore who gets paid one dollar to sleep with a guy cause I'm not worth anymore than a dollar." It said in big chalky letters on the chalkboard.
Mrs. Kamiko, Sakura's homeroom teacher, stood at the front with an angry look on her face. "Can someone please tell me who wrote such a thing on the board?"
Everyone whispered and murmered around Sakura, and suddenly everyone became silent and pointed at her. Sakura gulped, and Mrs. Kamiko stared at her hard.
"Kinomoto Sakura." She said loudly.
Sakura suddenly felt small as her teacher stepped towards her. "Did you write this on the board?"
"No Mrs. Kamiko," She uttered.
"Are you lying?"
"No." Sakura replied firmly.
Mrs. Kamiko stared at her for a long time before she lookd at everyone else in the room. "And why do you all think it is Miss. Kinomoto here."
"Because she seriously is a whore!!" Someone from the back laughed.
Mrs. Kamiko pushed her glasses up her nose, "Excuse me, no such words being said in my class."
"I don't think Kinomoto-san would write such a thing." Someone said.
Sakura perked up. I wonder who would actually stick up for me...
A girl with two braided pigtails stepped forward and stared straight into Mrs. Kamiko's eyes. "Kinomoto-san might not be the best student in the class, since she doesn't get good marks and she's always late, but I think deep inside her, Kinomoto is a smart wonderful girl and she wouldn't ever write that on the board." The girl explained. "And besides, who would write that about themselves?!"
"Some retard like Kinomoto." Someone replied.
The girl ignored the comment. "No, no one would. So Mrs. Kamiko, I think someone wrote that on the board to purposely get Kinomoto-san in trouble."
Sakura caught the girl staring at her, and Sakura gave her a thankful smile. She smiled back.
"Very well...this discussion will be dropped for now." Mrs. Kamiko announced. "But, if I see anymore of these messages on the board, all of you, will get in trouble."
Everyone took their seat and some returned to their rightful classes. The girl smiled at Sakura again, "Hey." She greeted before taking a seat next to her.
Sakura smiled, "Hi...thanks."
The girl grinned, "No prob. Sakura right? Can I just call you by your first name?"
"Sure, um and you are..."
"Oh I'm Kimi," Kimi introduced. "I really think this school is so mean...I'm pretty sure you aren't that type of girl everyone thinks you are."
Sakura sighed, "I'm not...but Aki is just a bitch..." She murmered. "She started all this."
"I think she's the real slut..." Kimi commented. "I mean...she's the one who went up to Toitsu-kun herself. Not the other way around."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, I was there," Kimi replied.
Sakura sighed, "Everyone is just listening to Aki since she has Toitsu by her side...Mr. Popular..." Sakura snorted.
"Kimi, Sakura, stop talking," Mrs. Kamiko snapped and they stopped chatting abruptly.
Sakura actually felt slightly happy and relaxed to be at school. Thanks to Kimi she didn't feel all lonely any longer...and she felt like herself around Kimi.
She didn't have to act mean to let Kimi think she was cool or anything. But Kimi liked her the way she was, which made Sakura happy.
They were sitting together on the grass outside next to the soccer field. Sakura glanced towards it and saw Syaoran playing on the field.
Kimi followed her gaze. "Isn't that Li Syaoran?"
"Yeah."
Kimi glanced at Sakura. "He's pretty cute isn't he?"
"Well...I dunno," Sakura shrugged and turned a little pink.
Kimi giggled, "I think someone here has a crush on Li-kun."
"No no Kimi! You have the wrong idea," Sakura complained. "I just...knew Li-kun before, when we were little."
"Oh really?! That's so cool!!" Kimi exclaimed. "Hey look he's coming over!!"
"Hey Kinomoto-san," Syaoran greeted as he walked towards them. "And uh..."
"Kimi Mirazaki," Kimi introduced.
Syaoran smiled and leaned over to whisper something into Sakura's ear. "Can I call you Sakura now? Saying Kinomoto sounds like I don't know you at all."
Sakura nodded and whispered back, "Yeah sure...and...thanks."
Syaoran smiled and walked off.
"What was all that about?" Kimi blinked.
"Nothing much," Sakura replied.
Kimi frowned, "Oh come on!! Tell me, I am your friend right?"
"Well...he just asked if he could call me by my first name," Sakura explained.
Kimi squealed, "Oooohh! Maybe he likes you!!"
"Kimi, your so silly. He has a girlfriend," Sakura replied and stared off into space.
Kimi glanced around her and finally found the person she was searching for.
Aki was crouching behind a tree and staring at them. Kimi caught her gaze and winked at Aki. Aki smiled, and walked off.
AN: Hmmm...Kimi seems a bit...strange...kekekeke...well stay tooned to find out what's going to happen~! Thanks for the support everyone~~!! Writing this fic so far as been very fun ^^
