(WATCH OUT!)
(Chapter 3: The Chinese Gaki)
It was Thursday. Sakura went home to get her football duffel bag. One the way back she bumped into what can only be described as her least favorite person - Li Sayoran.
"What are you doing here?" Li demanded.
"I live here." Sakura stepped back. Frikin' Chinese Gaki. She added to herself.
" Well, If you would excuse me, I have to be somewhere." Li walked away. Sakura followed him, not intentionally; they were both going to the school for football practice. Li eventually noticed and turned around.
" Why are you following me?"
" I'm not. " Sakura turned to the left. Guess I'm takin' the long way... She said to herself and started running.
Sakura somehow ended up getting there before Li. She met Melin and Tomoyo in the girl's locker room, who already had their jerseys and helmets on.
" Hurry Up!" Melin hissed.
By the time the girls were finished, the boys were already warming up. Sensei Terrada, Or in this case Coach Terrada, came out on the field.
" Okay boys! Two laps! around the field!" He said, clapping his hands. Sakura groaned, and started running.
After push - ups, sit-ups, and stretches the team got a brief little pep - talk, and Coach Terrada said that a list of people who made the cut would be posted in the boys' locker room on Monday.
After practice, Sakura put on her traditional grunge wear, and put all of her earrings back in, and then left with Tomoyo and Melin, taking a detour through the park.
Of course a seemingly perfect afternoon had to be ruined by his Royal Highness. Li Sayoran.
" Didn't you read the sign? It says no pets allowed." He said.
" You need some better conversation - starters." Melin commented.
" Shut up Blondie." Li snapped. Melin's hair color of the day was a pale yellow.
" Don't you have 'Better things to do' ?" Sakura asked, balling her hand into a fist.
" If you hurt me in any way again I will sue." Sayoran threatened.
" What is your problem?!" Tomoyo asked. Sayoran gave her an icy glare.
" You are." He replied coldly.
" Than what the hell are you talking to us for!" Melin snapped.
" I was just saying that social barbarians aren't allowed here."
" Hey dumbass, It's a public park!" Melin yelled. She turned to Sakura. " Can I..."
" Knock yourself out." Sakura replied. The next thing Sayoran knew was that he had been punched by 'Blondie' and fell down.
Melin felt a surge of triumph. " Okay, Let's go." Sakura grabbed Melin's shirtsleeve.
" Wait a second." Melin walked back to Li, and kneeled down next to him, very close to his ear. "AND I AM NOT A BLONDIE!" She yelled.
" Melin, we seriously have to go." Tomoyo said, hearing sirens off in the distance.
" Okay fine." She got up. Then she kicked him.
(Friday)
Tomoyo was on her way to school, the sound of rock metal blaring through her headphones.
She wasn't watching where she was going, because she bumped into someone.
" Oh, sorry!" She reached around to pick up her books.
" No, I wasn't watching where I was going..." The unfortunate boy knelt down to help her pick up the books she had dropped. They stood up.
This boy had black hair and glasses. He also had a lot of earrings on his right ear. The boy handed Tomoyo the books.
" Thanks..." She said.
" My name's Eroli, I'm the exchange student from England." he said.
" Hi. I'm Tomoyo Daijoui." She said.
" Oh, maybe you could help me, I'm looking for Tomodea middle school..."
" Yeah, over here..." Tomoyo grabbed his hand. They made it to school before the bell rang, but only barley.
(Pan to)
" Oh crap! I'm late!" Sakura ran to school while eating breakfast, which wasn't a very good idea. The French toast she had been cramming into her mouth had impaired her vision, so she didn't see the pothole clearly right in the middle of the sidewalk, and tripped.
She got up almost instantly, and inspected herself for any signs of injury. Her arm was all scratched and even bloody in some places.
"Cool! Now I have an excuse!" Sakura walked the rest of the way to school at a leisurely pace, grinning widely.
"Is there a reason you are late Miss Kinomoto?" Sensei Terrada asked as Sakura walked in.
"Oh... I uhh... had an accident." She held on to her arm.
"Well, that's the fifth accident in the past two weeks."
"Wha? That was Melin!" Sakura protested.
"I suggest you go to the office and get a pass." Sensei Terrada said.
"Well, If it is a suggestion, does that mean I don't have to go?"
"Let me rephrase that. Go to the office and get a pass."
"Can I just know what my test score was before I go? "
"58. Now go!"
"But I studied for that!" Sakura protested. By 'studied' she meant 'stole the answer key out of the teacher's lounge'.
"I don't know what happened, but if you don't leave I will take off ten more points."
"Fine!" Sakura stomped out of the room. Li Sayoran was laughing.
After school, Sakura and Melin went to Sakura's house. Tomoyo went to the park. There he was that boy she had bumped into on the way to school. Funny. That Li kid was talking to him. She got a little closer.
" Euro Trash!" Li said.
" What is your problem?" Eroli asked. Tomoyo stepped in. She narrowed her eyes at Li. He stepped back.
" I have an appointment." Li said. He stiffened and walked away.
" Frikin' Chinese Gaki." Tomoyo grumbled.
" That kid is pissing me off." Eroli said.
" He's been pissing a lot of people off." Tomoyo commented.
"Are you hungry?" Eroli asked.
"Starving!" She smiled.
(Saturday)
It was Saturday morning. Sakura got up, and went downstairs. Her brother Toyua was already up, clad in a whoopass t-shirt with the tattooed sleeves on both his arms clearly showing.
" Hey Kajiu." He said. Sakura glared at him.
" Very funny." She pulled out a box of ceral. It was almost empty. She poured the remaining contents into her mouth, and went back upstairs.
" I'll get it." Toyua stomped in. He flung open the door. He almost started laughing on the spot. It was a boy, about Sakura's age, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a blue blazer with a tie and light brown pants, and leather shoes, with a shiny penny in each of them.
Toyua actually started laughing.
" I'm sorry Kid, What are you here for?" He asked.
" Some of your mail was put in my mailbox, I live across the street." The kid explained. Sakura popped out from behind Toyua.
" YOU!" They yelled at the same time.
" Right, Thanks kid." Toyua grabbed the mail and slammed the door hastily, almost expecting some sort of violent reaction from his sister. "Who was that?"
" He is that Chinese Gaki I told you about." Sakura rolled her eyes. Toyua shrugged his shoulders and lit a cigarette.
