Chapter 8

Sakura wakes up to the fresh morning light pouring in the room. Sakura sees Li isn't with her, "He must be with Eli talking about last night." Sakura looks at the clock and sees she only has half an hour to get to school. She screams and hurries to get ready.

"Li do you know why Sakura want's Aaron's help?" asks Eli as he looks at Li over his coffee mug.

Li sits down on the couch and sighs, "No she didn't want to talk last night."

"Madison and Meilin told me last night that the guy that Meilin killed, his heart was ripped out and dyed black."

Li's eyes grow wide, "Do you think she's back?"

"It has to be her. She was the only one who did that."

Sakura's yells rip through the house as she runs out of the bedroom and down the stairs. "Why didn't anyone wake me up? I'm gonna be fucking late for school."

"Sorry." Yells Eli as Sakura runs past the living room glaring at them both.

"I'm driving myself and I'm taking the forest green Lexus." Yells as she runs out the front door slamming it behind her.

"Someone is moody today." Chuckles Eli as he sips his coffee.

Li laughs and shakes his head.

Sakura pulls into school with only a few minutes to spare before homeroom starts. She runs into the school and to her locker to get her things. The bell goes and Sakura heads to homeroom, but the second she walks in the class she has to throw up. She turns on her heels and runs from the room.

Chelsea looks up just to see Sakura cover her mouth and run from the room. She walks up to the teacher, "I think Sakura went to the bathroom to throw up. May I go and check on her?"

"Of course Chelsea." Says the teacher.

Chelsea runs from the room with her bookbag and heads for the bathroom.

Sakura runs into the first stall and leans over the toilet as she throws up.

"Sakura?"

Sakura coughs and grabs some toilet paper and wipes her mouth. She flushes the toilet and leans against the stall wall.

Chelsea hears Sakura cough and she pushes the stall door open to reveal Sakura on the floor by the toilet. "Are you ok?"

Sakura looks up and sees Chelsea and smiles, "Um yeah I just got sick." She grumbles as Sakura stands up and walks out of the stall and throws the toilet paper out and walks to the sinks.

Chelsea smiles and gets some paper towel and wets it with cold water and dabs it all over Sakura's face and neck, "You got the flu?"

"I feel fine now. I just had to throw up really badly." Says Sakura as she washes her hands and smiles at her friend. "Thank you."

"You got a free first why don't you go to the nurse and get checked out just to be safe. I'm sure Li wouldn't want a sick girl."

"Li's in a meeting with Eli. The blue haired guy from last night. At least I think he is." Says Sakura before coughing.

"Come on I'm taking you to the nurse, I don't want any arguments from you either." Says Chelsea in a motherly tone.

"Oh fine. But I'm ok really." Groans Sakura as she and Chelsea leave the bathroom.

"Oh here have some gum, your breath reaks." Giggles Chelsea pulling a pack of gum from her bag.

"Well yours would too if you had just thrown up." Says Sakura as she takes some gum.

Sakura and Chelsea walk into the nurses office and Sakura sits down while Chelsea walks in back to find the nurse. Sakura looks outside and sees a woman standing under the cherry tree. She has long brown hair and she is staring at the window Sakura is looking out of. "She looks kinda like Li." Mumbles Sakura staring at the woman.

"Sakura the nurse will see you now. I have to go to class. Hope you feel better." Says Chelsea as she walks out into the waiting area but she sees Sakura isn't listening. "Earth to Sakura?"

"Hmm? What? Oh yeah I'll see you later." Mumbles Sakura as she stands up and turns to smile at Chelsea.

"Ok. I'll be back next period I have a free then, to see if your still here or not." Says Chelsea with a smile as she leaves.

Sakura nods and walks into the next room where the nurse is sitting. She is a nice lady mid twenties with long black hair. "Ahh Sakura is it? So what's wrong?"

"Oh um I threw up in the bathroom not to long ago and Chelsea wanted me to come here and see if I was sick or not. You know a friends concern." Says Sakura as she sits on the examination bed.

"You get sick a lot?"

"Oh no, hardly ever. I feel fine, I just had the urge to throw up."

"Have you been having unprotected sex?"

"Hmm?" asks Sakura not even thinking.

"Do you think you may be pregnant?"

"Oh well I would say it's a good chance." Says Sakura as she hopes that in a way she is pregnant but then in another way she hopes she's not.

"Well we can test you if you like? Granted I won't be able to tell how far along you are but I can give you a yes or no."

"I would like to be tested yes." Says Sakura.

"Ok, I just need you to pee into this cup for me." Says the nurse as she holds up a cup.

Sakura blushes and takes it.

"You can use the bathroom in there, I assure you it's cleaner than the normal restrooms in this school."

Sakura just smiles and walks into the bathroom.

Chelsea and Rita walk into the nurses office and knock on the door for the inner room, "Sakura?"

Sakura turns to the door and sees Chelsea and Rita walk in, she smiles brightly. "Don't worry I'm not sick."

"Oh that's good. So why did you throw up?" asks Rita as the nurse walks past them and smiles at Sakura.

"Nerves." Sakura lies. "I just have a lot on my mind is all. But I'm going home for the rest of the day. I got my work from my teachers already."

"You getting picked up?" asks Chelsea.

"Nope I'll drive home. It's not that far anyway." Says Sakura as she gets off the bed.

"Here you are Sakura, something's I thought you may need and some stuff I want you to read." Says the nurse as she hands Sakura a red gift bag.

"Thank you very much." Smiles Sakura and she leaves the nurses office.

"What did she give you?" asks Rita as they walk with Sakura to her car.

"Just some thing I asked her for. Don't worry I'm fine. Call me later ok." Says Sakura as they get to her car.

"We will. Get lots of rest ok." Says Chelsea before her and Rita walk back into the school.

Sakura pulls out her car keys and opens her car to see a letter sitting on the seat with her name in Chinese written in a fancy script. Sakura picks it up and sees it's just a normal letter. She gets in her car and puts the letter in her bag and drives home.

"Hope you read my letter Ying Fa." Says the woman under the cherry tree.
