------------------------------- Life and Death? Or Love and Hate? Chapter Two: The Movies By: Lana Nguyen

"Aiyahhh!!! I'm late again! EEEEeeeeeeek!" A 13-year-old girl said, jumping out of bed. (Arghhh. stupid alarm clock. They should make the alarm go louder!) Sakura dashed across her room trying to find her school clothes and rushed to her bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror, trying to recognize herself again. A girl, with shoulder-length auburn- colored hair, with bright shining emerald eyes stood before her. (Ah! I look like a mess!) Sakura brushed her hair, brushed her teeth, and so forth. She only had 5 more minutes until school started so she ran down the stairs as fast as she could.

"Mom! I'll see you later! I'm late again!" Sakura yelled, skating out the door as fast as the wind could go. Things haven't changed for her. She's still the same little girl she was years ago. The only thing that really changed, was her father wasn't around anymore. She had chosen her mother to live with. She felt bad, but it felt like the right decision to make. Just thinking about it, depresses Sakura.

Finally, she got to school and it was only 30 seconds before the late bell rang. She ran as fast as she could and to everybody's surprise, she made it on time!

"Matte! Don't count me tardy. *breathing hard*" Sakura said as the bell rang.

"Well, Kinomoto-san, please take your seat." The sensei said looking impatient.

"Hai." Sakura said walking to her desk. It was located right beside Tomoyo's. What a coincidence! [^_^]

"Konnichiwa Sakura! You actually made it in time. Good job girl!" Tomoyo said as Sakura took her seat.

"Thanks Tomoyo!" Sakura said smiling.

Well, school was very boring for Sakura that day. She was the top student in her class and she was not a nerd as most top students would be. Many guys really liked her, and she did go out with some of them, but it ended up in tragedy and so Sakura stopped and lived her single life to the fullest. Many people still prefer to her as perfect but she ignores the comment. It doesn't ever make her day. As she said before, they just don't know what happens at home.

------------------------------------ At the end of the School Day

"Sakura! Don't forget that Chihira [My character!] is having her birthday at the movies later tonight! Don't forget to come over to my house to try on the KAWAII-ist outfit I've made for you okay?!!" Tomoyo said, stars in her eyes as always when she prefers to the word "kawaii".

Sakura sweatdropped. Well. that's Tomoyo for ya!

"Hai. I won't forget Tomoyo! I'll come over later! I've got to get home before my mom bitches at me!" Sakura said skating away.

------------------------------------ Inside the Kinomoto House

"Mom, please don't go to Central today. I've got a birthday party to go to, remember??" Sakura said, doing her homework.

Her mother looked at her surprised and replied, "Of course."

Ever since the divorce, Sakura's mom got more. hooked onto gambling. Her mom would say she's depressed and leave to Central. It got Sakura really sad because she couldn't do anything to make her mom stop. Her mom won't even work! What was she supposed to do? She left it that way. for now.

------------------------------------ 30 Minutes Later

Sakura looked at her watch. (Oh no! It's time. I've got to get to Tomoyo's house! But I'm already 5 minutes late! I can't walk. argh.) Sakura was very excited to go. She wasn't very close to Chihira and she wanted to go to the movies because it was her birthday. But, there was another reason why she wanted to go. In May, she met this guy named Syaoran online and now that it's October, they still haven't met each other. Kind of sad, isn't it? Well, he was known as Sakura's best homeboy. And it turns out that Syaoran knows Chihira too and she invited him to come. So, she couldn't miss this! She had to admit. she did have a little crush on him.

Sakura sat there for a while and finally went to her mom's room, finding her watching some Japanese movies.

"Mom? Are you busy?" Sakura asked, scared that her mom might yell at her.

"What does it look like to you?!" Her mom replied from the bed.

Ever since the divorce, her mother also got more. mean.

"Well.. I.I was just wondering if you could take me to Tomoyo's house. for the movies Mom.." Sakura said, feeling sad.

"Argh! Fine. Get in the car." And Sakura did so.

She waited for a long time. probably and hour and 30 minutes. [It's sad isn't it? I went through this. *sighs*] Finally, her mom came out and drove her to Tomoyo's house. It was complete silence in the car. Sakura and her mom used to be so close to each other.. Why did everything change? Sakura asks herself this all the time.

When they finally got there, Sakura felt really bad for being so late. She called Tomoyo up on her cellphone to let her in the house.

*Brrrrrrrringgggggg brrrrrrrrinnngg*

"Hello?" "Tomoyo! Oh my goodness, I'm here but I'm soo sorry. It was my mom. she.. Argh." "Finally you're here! Come in Sakura, and it's okay. We got to get you dressed and we got to ZOOM to the movies! They're all waiting for us."

The gates opened for her and Sakura ran in. In 5 minutes flat, they were in the car heading for the movies. Tomoyo made Sakura wear these long black pants with a silver and black tube top. Of course, Sakura wanted to cover up so she wore a black leather jacket as well. From her mom making them be so late, Sakura was a little bit pissed. I mean come on; they were supposed to be at the movies at 6! And yet, here they are. just arriving at almost 8!!!

------------------------------------ The movies

As they stepped out of the car, they walked around trying to look for the group. While Sakura, having her mind on something else looked for Syaoran. She already knew what he looked like because he sent a picture of himself to her over the Internet. Finally, she spotted him. He was sitting on the steps surrounded by these other people and he was wearing all white. [Oooh. Sexy!! Lolx] But like Sakura, she was shy. Tomoyo knew about Syaoran too and she knew how nervous Sakura must've been. So, Tomoyo decided to go into a restaurant for a bit so they could get a drink.

A couple minutes later, they walked over to where Syaoran was but they walked around him. Syaoran didn't notice Sakura because he was busy talking to his homies. Of course, he too, has seen a picture of Sakura over the Internet. And as Sakura walked across behind Syaoran, one of her friends she noticed had noticed her! So she walked faster over to where Tomoyo was. And the next thing she hears is, "Hey! Syaoran, there's Sakura!" And "Where? Where?"

As she reached Tomoyo, she turned around and saw Syaoran. (Wow. he's even cuter in person than in pictures!) Syaoran looked at her and was like, "Sakura!" And he gave her a hug.
