A Chance to Start Over
Chapter 3
Another normal day at school and at the café of Ying De, F4 and San Cai eat their lunch.
San Cai exclaims, ¡§DMS! Do you have to order so much food? You know, you must learn to appreciate what you have and not just take things for granted. All these food may feed a whole village in the third world. If you don¡¦t start changing soon, you may be punished in the future and you will know how it feels to go hungry.¡¨
All these seems so familiar. Yes, the same argument over and over and over again. Don't they ever get tired of it? It is already hard enough to cope with life, now do they have to go through the same issue every single day? San Cai is getting real tired of it. Will there be the day when she can knock som
DMS still doesn¡¦t understand why the big fuss? It has become his habit to have a table of food displayed in front of him since he was a child. With the wealth his family has, they don¡¦t have much consideration on cost of food, since the cost of a table of food is nothing when comparing to their wealth. DMS replies angrily, ¡§Must you make a speech every time we eat?¡¨
¡§Well, next time just don¡¦t buy so much food. Buying enough is enough.¡¨
¡§Fine fine fine.¡¨
Seeing that DMS is already giving in to SanCai so easily, MeiZuo can¡¦t help but to tease him, ¡§You are such a good boy today, you actually listened to San Cai and didn¡¦t talk back. I told you that you can never control San Cai!¡¨
DMS quickly snaps back, ¡§Did I ask for your opinion?¡¨
XiMen looks at the annoyed DMS and then at SanCai and asks, ¡§San Cai, you know when you are the most gentle?¡¨
San Cai knows whatever XiMen¡¦s answer is, it is not going to be any nice answer, but she still replies with a question, ¡§When?¡¨
XiMen smiles and taunts, ¡§Either when you are dead or when you are so sick that you can¡¦t move. Haha¡K¡¨
DMS throws a paper towel in XiMen¡¦s face and growls, ¡§That is such a lame joke.¡¨
Xi Men looks at DMS face and notices something abnormal and questions, ¡§I just noticed that your face is bruised. What happened?¡¨
Mei Zuo asks without waiting for DMS to answer the first question, ¡§Who dared to beat you? I bet that person is in a much worser condition than Ah Si now. Did you hurt that guy badly?¡¨
DMS doesn¡¦t know what to say and stutters, ¡§I¡K.um¡KI didn¡¦t beat that person up.¡¨
Hearing the most atypical answer from him, even Lei ask in disbelief, ¡§Huh?¡¨
Xi Men can't believe the answers that Dao Ming Si just gave and questions, "What do you mean you didn¡¦t? You just let that person beat you up? Ah Si, is something wrong with you? Did San Cai give her fever to you?"
Mei Zuo walks over to DMS and feels his forehead. DMS quickly fling his hand off.
DMS growls, "What is wrong with you people? I am not sick OK? I didn¡¦t hit that person because I didn¡¦t feel like doing it, OK?"
San Cai, regretful of what she did, quickly explain when no one even knows she did it, "Well, I didn¡¦t mean to hurt him. I did roll a boiled egg on his bruise already. Look, the bruise is barely visible now."
DMS looks at SanCai. She has just given the group more information than they need to know. DMS says, "San Cai, there are things they don¡¦t need to know."
Xi Men exclaims, "Wo, San Cai, you did that? You are one heck of a woman."
Mei Zuo adds in , "What were you guys doing last night? What extreme things were you doing?"
San Cai can't believe the boys have their head in the gutter again and says, "Nothing that your perverted mind is thinking about."
Lei looks at SanCai and ignores everything that the 2 play boys had said and ask, "Hey, San Cai, are you feeling all better now?"
San Cai smiles, "What do you think? Of course I am! I am the strong weed San Cai, of course I can heal fast!"
"You had me worried."
DMS glares at Lei. Noticing it, Lei giggles a little, laughing at DMS¡¦s childishness.
Not even noticing Dao Ming Si's act of childness, San Cai suddenly yelp, "Ah!"
DMS turns to look at the paranoid girl and ask, "What?!"
"Me Me Me!"
"What are you?"
"Look! That me!"
San Cai points in front of her.
F4 turns around and it is Xiao Ling who is walking toward them.
F4 casually greets, "Hi!"
San Cai is puzzled and asks, "You guys don¡¦t seem to be surprised."
Lei explains, "Don¡¦t you remember? You saw her yesterday here in Ying De yesterday when you were sick. Were you that sick that you can¡¦t even remember? You were the one who pointed her out yesterday."
San Cai mumbles, "Well, yesterday was a delirious day for me."
Xiao Ling greets back at the group, "Hey F4 and Cloned Me."
San Cai protests, "You are the one who is Cloned Me."
Then San Cai and Xiao Ling both smiles.
Xiao Ling: So, I see you all better today. At least you have the energy to talk.
San Cai: Yup. Hey, what time is it?
DMS: It is 1:30pm.
San Cai: Ahh! Got to go.
DMS: What¡¦s the hurry?
San Cai: I need to go to class! And you should go to class too. I haven¡¦t seen you going to class for a long time. Every time I see you, you are either playing or fooling around. So, move your pig head and get to class.
DMS: Me going to class or not is none of your business. Stupid woman.
San Cai: Whatever. Bye.
San Cai picks up her books and quickly leaves the café. DMS looks at her figure until she can no longer be seen. Just seeing her near him puts a smile on his face. After daydreaming a couple of minutes, Dao Ming Si stands up and gets ready to leave.
Xi Men: Where are you going?
Lei: Are you going home? If so, give me a lift. I am dead tired after the morning class.
Dao Ming Si: All you guys do are sleeping, flirting, clubbing and fooling around! Get your ass to class and do something educational. Don¡¦t waste your time on useless things. Do something that is actually worthwhile, like going to class and actually learning something.
Mei Zuo: Wo! What did San Cai do to you? Did San Cai hypnotized you and tell you to do that?
Dao Ming Si: I am not talking to you guys. I have a class to catch.
Dao Ming Si takes his happy leave. He has never been so glad to go to class before.
***In San Cai¡¦s class***
Ah Liang (the teacher): Chinese had their history started thousands and thousands of years ago¡K..it begins when¡K.
Ah Liang was interrupted by someone coming into the class. Ah Liang lifts his head high almost fuming mad and puts on his ¡§I-am-such-a-great-teacher¡¨ look. He doesn¡¦t even want to look at the student that is coming in as if he is disgusted by the student¡¦s late attendance.
Ah Liang: Do you know what it means to be on time?
Then Ah Liang turns to look at the student and his face suddenly turn from a proud teacher to a whimp.
Ah Liang: San¡KSan¡K¡Knonono¡K¡KWho are you?
Xiao Ling: I am the new transfer student Cheng Xiao Ling.
Ah Liang knowing that she is not San Cai returns to his proud-teacher-self
Ah Liang: So, you are the new student. Please, if you don¡¦t want to be here, be my guest and leave. If you are here to learn, please come on time. I don¡¦t like to be rudely interrupted.
Xiao Ling pays no attention to the teacher and finds a seat next to San Cai. There have always been some seats around San Cai because people are either scared or hated her. They are scared of her because she is DMS¡¦s girlfriend and they hated her for the same reason.
Ah Liang: Ok, lets continue with the lesson after that rude interruption.
San Cai: I am glad that you are in my class. Finally, I will have someone to talk to.
Xiao Ling: I am glad that I am in the same class with you too. Hey, that teacher is quite a pain in the ass.
San Cai giggles. Ah Liang hears it but knowing that it is San Cai, he lets it go.
Ah Liang: San Cai, can you name some of the first few kings dated in the history?
San Cai: Err¡K¡Kum¡K¡KI don't know.
Ah Liang was about to make fun of her ignorance but stopped himself. Instead, he said something totally opposite of what he wanted to say.
Ah Liang: Everyone please give her an applause!
Then the class started clapping.
Ah Liang: I haven¡¦t teach the section, of course you don¡¦t know. Though you don¡¦t know, it is very brave and honest of you to admit it. It must have taken a lot of courage. Everyone, please give her another round of applause.
The class applause again.
San Cai gives an embarrassing smile to the class. How on earth can she get an applause for such a stupid answer? Every time the teacher tries to embarrass San Cai with a question that he is sure she can¡¦t answer, it would end up that Ah Liang don¡¦t have the guts to make fun of her. So, instead of teasing, it would ended in praising.
Xiao Ling looks at San Cai in awe. The teacher who, just a few minutes ago, was giving her the pain in the ass because she was late for class is now praising San Cai for such a stupid answe. The teacher is actually giving his most suck up smile while clapping for San Cai. Jealousy can be seen on Xiao Lings face, though San Cai didn¡¦t notice it. After all, what special privilege that only San Cai can have?
Xiao Ling: I see you that you are pretty popular in the class.
San Cai: These people can all win the Oscar award. They are great at acting. Don't let their faces fool you.
Xiao Ling: What¡K..
Ah Liang: Cheng Xiao Ling, am I interrupting you? Should I leave the class and let you talk?
Xiao Ling can't stand that stupid face of the stupid teacher whose face have already change to the stuck up attitude when talking to her.
Class is over and people are getting ready to leave.
Xiao Ling: Hey, San Cai, you want to go shopping after school?
San Cai: I need to work. How about tomorrow?
Then Qian Wei and Bai He, the two evil girls starts to talking just loud enough for Xiao Ling to hear.
Bai He: Eh, people's "face skin" is so thick.
Qian Wei: Yah, they think just by sticking on to Dao Ming Si's girlfriend then she would get special privileges like San Cai.
Bai He: Soooo cheap.
Having a worser temper than San Cai, Xiao Ling stands up and is about to bash the shit out of them.
Xiao Ling: Who are you talking about?
Bai He: Who do you think? Who else in this class can be as low as you? Just because you can stick on to San Cai now, doesn't mean you will always be able to. We will wait and see what would eventually happen to you.
Xiao Ling is about to start hitting people when San Cai grabs hold of her.
San Cai: Please calm down. They are always like this. Just forget what they say.
Xiao Ling looks at San Cai for a second then relaxes her fist.
Seeing that Xiao Ling isn't going to hit them anymore, Bai He and Qian Wei proudly leave the room. Just as they pass Xiao Ling, they purposely bump her just to make her mad.
San Cai: Just don't have anything involving with these two girls....
***
Walking leisurely to her next class, Xiao Ling hears someone calling her name behind her. She turns and sees Dao Ming Si running towards her.
DMS: Xiao Ling!
Xiao Ling answers with her usual cheerful and energetic smile.
Xiao Ling: Hi! It is very rare for you to say hi to me. I thought that you only have that San Cai in your mind.
DMS: Did I never greet you before? Well, here, how are you today?
Xiao Ling: I am fine.
DMS: Have you seen San Cai?
Xiao Ling¡¦s smile disappears and let out a sigh. Just when she thought she stands a spot in this new unfamiliar school, she realizes that it is only SanCai that anyone ever cares around here. Where have her popularity gone to?
DMS: What are you sighing about?
Xiao Ling: Nothing. I had my last class with her, but we went our separate ways when our class was over.
While walking along with Xiao Ling, Dao Ming Si searches his pocket for his cellular phone. He dials the familiar number. After a couple of ringing tone, someone finally picks up the line.
San Cai: Hello?
DMS: Where are you?
San Cai: Idiot! Of course I am in school now. I just saw you a couple hours ago, don¡¦t you remember?
DMS: You idiot! Can you at least stop calling me idiot for one day?
San Cai: Idiot idiot idiot idiot! I have class now. See you at lunch.
DMS: You are still like this¡Knever changes¡KI will wait for you. Bye.
San Cai: Bye.
Then they hang up the phone simultaneously.
Still walking together, Xiao Ling starts a conversation. From a far two people watch closely as they stare at Xiao Ling and DMS figures with anger and jealousy.
Xiao Ling: Hey, you are pretty caring to your girlfriend. It seems that you can never see enough of her. You realize that the only times you come find me on your own will is when you want to find San Cai? The first time is when you grabbed me in the pub for mistaking that I am San Cai. The second time is just now when you came over to find San Cai. What is so special about that girl that every one tends to care so much about. No one in school seems to dare to go near her. Yet, the richest guy in school wants her so badly.
DMS: That¡¦s because she is San Cai! There is no other reason. She is special because she is she.
Xiao Ling: Don¡¦t you think there are other girls in this school that looks better, and have higher standards than San Cai? Why must it be San Cai?
DMS: You are every annoying. You have so much to say and talk. Did I ever ask for your opinion?
All of a sudden, a friendly talk turns into an argument and Xiao Ling raises her voice, ¡§Hey! What the hell is wrong with you? I was just having a friendly talk with you. Must you raise your voice on me?¡¨
¡§Who do you think you are? No one dares to talk to me like this in this school! You want to get a red tag from me?¡¨
Xiao Ling is even more angry now. No one has ever talk to her in this kind of manner either, not even her parents.
Xiao Ling: What red tag? Whatever it is, I don¡¦t care.
Fuming anger, Xiao Ling raises her leg to knee him. Seeing this action, DMS quickly bends forward to avoid the hit. With exact timing, Xiao Ling punches across DMS¡¦s face and end the fight with a kick on DMS¡¦s stomach, making DMS fall to the ground. Xiao Ling then runs away while cursing about DMS.
Xiao Ling: Obnoxious imbecile!
DMS yells, ¡§How dare you?!¡¨
Stampeding through one of the school¡¦s empty corridor, Xiao Ling suddenly stops as she sees the two girl in front of her.
Xiao Ling: What do you two want? I am not in a good mood today. You better back off before I start kicking your ass.
Bai He: Who are you trying to pretend?
Qian Wei: San Cai?
Bai He: At least make some more effort to get Dao Ming Si¡¦s attention. Pretending to be someone that you are not is just lame. At least have your own style.
Xiao Ling: What kind of BS are you two talking about now?
Qian Wei: Don¡¦t play dump with us. You act like San Cai, look like San Cai, talks like San Cai, and even stick to San Cai. It is too obvious what you want! You think that by sticking on to San Cai and looking like her then you will get Dao Ming Si¡¦s heart? Well, let me tell you something, Dao Ming Si only likes San Cai now because he has never seen that kind of girl before. When he gets tired of her, he will certainly find a girl with sense and taste.
Bai He: That¡¦s someone like us. Just because your father is a boss of a few companies, doesn¡¦t make you any more different than us. You should at least get in line when you want to get DMS¡¦s heart. Other than us, there is still a very long line. And you will be the last that DMS will even look at.
Xiao Ling: You two think I make myself look like San Cai just to get DMS¡¦s attention? Please, you two must have way too much free time. When you are bored, use your brain to do something more worth while. Perhaps changing your stupid attitude would be a good start.
Then Xiao Ling walks off. When she just passes the two girls, she turns around and finishes what she has to say.
Xiao Ling: And by the way, if I want to get DMS¡¦s heart, it would not be because I look like San Cai, it would be because I am me.
Bai He then scoffs, ¡§We will see how long you can last.¡¨

I really don't like this story. Actually I have this story posted up in winglin.net. I am just redoing it because there are many many grammar and spelling mistakes.....not to mention the incoherent sentences. I wanted to change something to make it better...but it seems I am lazy at the moment. O well.....
