Ch.3- Lunch
Meiling was looking for Liang during lunch, but he was nowhere in sight.
"Where is he?! I still have lots of questions to ask!" she looked at each lunch table.
"ARGH! I probably have seen every single student in this school!"
"Hey, Meiling!" a voice said from afar. It was Xiolang.
"Hi, Xiolang!"
"Where were you yesterday? I was looking for you."
"Oh, I was at the library. I had someone to talk to."
"Who was it?" he asked curiously.
"Uhhh..." she sweatdropped and pointed to a girl with brown hair. "I talked to her.."
Xiolang sighed, "You and I both know that you haven't made any friends here."
(thinking) How come it's so hard for him to just believe me? ARGH!
"Uh, Meiling, why is that boy jumping up and down with his hands waving in the air?"
A boy with dark black hair and bright blue eyes yelled across the room. "Hey, Meiling! Come sit over here!" Apparently the whole student body heard and faced his direction, giving him a "you're insane look." (I get those ALL the time! Hehehe..)
She grinned. "I just made a new friend." He just shuddered and followed Meiling to the table.

"Oh, hey Meiling and-"
"Li, Xiolang."
"OH!" he said with a grin on his face. "I REMEMBER YOU!!"
Xiolang just sweatdropped, "Are you another one of my cousins?"
Liang just looked at Meiling from left to right. "No! You two really have a bad habit of forgetting things!"
Meiling sighed, "Ok, mister "mystery man" who exactly are you?"
"For the second time, I'm you're childhood friend! You know, you're old neighbor that moved!"
Xiolang felt confused, "Have you met each other before?"
"YEAH! We were just at the library yesterday!"
Meiling could feel her face burning and that Xiolang was mad at her. She gave Liang a "just look what you did" look.

School was finally over with and the two were walking home together...
"Meiling, why didn't you tell me that you saw that guy yesterday?" Xiolang asked with a curious look on his face.
"Xiolang...." She stared at the sidewalk.
He tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, I'm just asking, that's all."
"Uh, well...uh, you see, he...uh...sent..me...a..note...to..meet..him....at..the..library.."
"See, it wasn't THAT bad!" But inside his heart he said to himself, "I knew this was gonna happen someday..."
She smiled. "But why did he send you a note?" he asked, trying not to make it obvious.
"Ohhh....nothing..." She blushed. "Why'd ya want to know anyway?"
"Because..because.....I..." He was RIGHT about to say it when Meiling's mother called her inside.
"MEILING! Come here, honey! You two are walking as slow as a turtle!!!"
They both did an anime fall. "Well...thanks, Xio-kun..." she said, smiling sweetly at him.
"Bye, Mei-chan! See ya tomorrow!" As she skipped to the door, he thought to himself, "Xio-kun.." he grinned. "I like it..."
~ ~ ~ ~
"Hmmmmm..." Meiling thought to herself. "Xiolang was acting really weird earlier." She looked at herself in the mirror and blushed, "It seemed like he was gonna say that he loved me or something, just like in those soap operas!" Her smiled faded away, "Nah, I bet I was just dreaming..Anyways, Xiolang just thinks of me as family."
"BRRIINNNNNNNNGGGGG....BRINNNGGGGG...."
"EH? Who can it be?"
"BRINNNGGGGGG...BRINGGGGGG...."
"I'll get it!" She reached for the phone. "Hello, this is Meiling Li speaking.."
"HIYA, MEILING!"
"Oh, not YOU again!"
"Hey, I'm just trying to be nice here." He started to whisper. "You know, I heard that Shinuta's going with Xiolang to the Winter Dance..."
Meiling turned pale. She knew that Shinuta was the head cheerleader, "Miss Perfect", and the prettiest girl on campus."
"So..so..so.. I...don't..don't...care..." she said trembling.
"Well, I as a matter of fact do care. I knew that Xiolang was a bastard ever since he was born!"
"HEY! DON'T CALL MY COUSIN A BASTARD!"
Liang sounded hurt, "I'm really sorry that I said that Meiling... But the real reason I called was to see if you made your decision, yet."
Meiling thought really hard. She sighed, "This will probably be the only dance in my whole life that I'll ever get to go to.. I might as well go...I'm sure that Xiolang will have a great time.. And there'll be food there, too..." she said to herself.
Liang was waiting on the other line, "So is it a yes or no?"
"Uh, yes..." she said sadly.
"REALLY?! Wow! You're cool, Meiling!" he said smiling evily.
Days and days passed by, and Meiling was getting nervous by the minute. Xiolang and her seldom talked to each other so she never got to ask if what Liang said was true. Finally the day came, the Winter Dance...
~ ~ ~ ~
"You look so beautiful, Meiling!" her mother said with tears in her eyes. "My little girl is growing up!"
"Mom!" She wasn't smiling, giggling like she used to, or even imagining herself as the princess and Xiolang as the prince.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing..... It's just that.. well.. say that my friend went to the dance with a nice guy, but it wasn't the one she was thinking of...uh.. what would you do?"
"Well, I would tell my friend (wink, wink) that she should enjoy herself. You never know if two people are destined...You know, that reminds me of a famous legend..It begins wit-"
"Uh, look at the time! Gotta go!"
"Have fun!" She turned around and held a picture of Xiolang and Meiling riding a pony when they were young. "Xiolang, you better not ruin my daughter's life."
