*The Story of an Innocent Girl*
Alrightos people! Welcome to my 2nd ff. I know I should be finishing "Dark and Light" but I got this idea in my head. Well, it was sort of a dream I had last night. I hope you all enjoy it. (Doubt you would) But sit back and read!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or anything except the story. CCS owns it, so tough! Hahahaha…
Chapter 1 – The Little Orphan*
Sixteen years ago –
It was dawn. The sun was rising slowly, melting its warmness in the sky, creating a reddish orange glow. In the busy streets of Hong Kong, their everyday ritual, a couple were walking their baby. Unlike the previous days, they did not expect this to happen. They did not expect to be killed. A drunken man fell asleep behind the wheels while trying to drive home getting all three adults hurt, or rather dead. The little baby, in her stroller, still asleep was pushed aside, away from the scene of the crime. Sirens were now ringing the neighbourhood. To everyone there, it was just another tragic accident. But for Sister Marianne, her life has changed. The car had crashed right in front of a Religious Boarding School (I am not religious as you can see). Marianne had witnessed the accident and had seen the stroller being pushed off into the bushes, hidden.
Sister Marianne-
'The stroller! Is there a baby inside? I hope the crash didn't affect it. Should I go check on it? Did anyone notice?' her thoughts kept arguing inside her head, 'I must.' She finally concluded.
She ran as fast as her tiny feet could carry her, past the accident, past the firemen and finally, past the nosey neighbours. In the bush, she found a little baby girl, wailing. As she stepped in to pick her up, the baby stopped crying and smiled.
'Oh my, she smiled!' Marianne thought happily.
She had been a widow for the last twenty years or so and was a teacher at the school. Surprised that she would ever fall in love with a little baby, Marianne picked the baby up and brought her home, to the school.
Present –
"Sakura, wake up or you'll be late!" an old lady yelled, pounding at the door. With the racket, Sakura wasn't sure if she'll get any sleep at all. Just then, it popped into her mind. Today was the first day of term. She was indeed late. Jumping out of bed, she tried tackling her uniform and brushing her teeth at the same time. Combing her hair straight, she looked straight into the mirror. Sighing, she walked opened the door to find a rather plump nun looking at her with a very crossed expression. "What too you so long?" she demanded.
"Sorry mother. I forgot to set the alarm clock last night." She whispered looking at the ground. She hated it when her mother was mad.
"Remember to set it tonight alright?" Marianne paused "Get to the diner hall and eat up before you go to class." With that, she left. Sakura just stared into space for a few good seconds and proceeded to the diner hall. Humming as she skipped her way down the long corridor, she heard laughs. It seemed to be coming from outside. She cantered down the stairwell and out the door of their residence. Immediately, she saw a group of girls in a circle. They seemed to be laughing at someone in the middle. Curious as Sakura was, she stuck her head through the crowd. "Nani! What are you doing to my friend?" Sakura gasped looking at the helpless figure on the ground. She ran over to the young girl's side and helped her up before raging in fury. "What were you doing to Tomoyo?" she yelled at the girls. The group of girls that surrounded them were thin, beautiful and bitches. They only cared about their looks and reputation, not what 'losers' thought of them. The 'prep' group, as people called them, had all the girls' reputation of being sluts and whores. Of course, they didn't know because guys swarm around them, blinded by their beauty and popularity, like bees to honey.
"What's up with your attitude Kinomoto? Can't you see your friend is enjoying our company?" she asked sweetly, winking at Tomoyo. With long, dirty blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, she was evidently the most popular one of all. Putting her hands on her hips, she waited for Sakura's reply, watching her fume.
"Saku, I'll be alright. Calm down. Don't let her get to you. She wants you expelled. Please." Tomoyo pleaded. But no one could stop Sakura as she threw her fists at the girl. The punch made her fly back and land onto the ground with a loud thump and then a shriek was heard.
"You made my nose bleed! Fucking hell! I will kill you Sakura if it's the last thing I do." The bleeding girl got up and ran towards Sakura, tackling her. They both fell onto the ground and started wrestling with each other. More and more spectators gathered around while the helpless friends stood back, afraid that if they tried to take them away, they would too get hurt. Chants were now heard from the crowd. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" From afar, teachers came rushing to see a large cluster of people. As they pushed towards the centre, their minds have already found an answer, "Jane and Sakura." They all sighed. This was going to be their last chance. These two young ladies have been on each other since their first year at the school. The principal had warned them numerous times and yet they failed to follow. They were going to be expelled.
*Dum dum dum dum!! I wonder what's going to happen next? I made a bit up. But hey, it's my story and I can do whatever I want! So naninani booboo! J
