Chapter 3:

It was another day at Wu Zin high. Mulan was in the hallway with Ma Li making there way to their separate classrooms. "Bye Ma Li, see you in English class." Said Mulan as she waved good bye to her friend.

"Bye." Responded Ma Li as she waved back.

As Mulan made it up the staircase and into the Science wing she looked in back of her noticing that a small argument was going on. As She was about to look forward she bumped into someone and fell down with all her books.

The young man turned around facing Mulan, as did his friends that he was with. She looked up to notice that it was the same guy she saw yesterday, it was Shang and his friends. She quickly got to her knees and began to pick up her things. "I'm so sorry, that was my fault."

Shang noticed who she was right away, he had a feeling of softness in his heart, that wanted to leap out to help her with her things but then again he didn't want his friends to know that he suddenly had feelings for this girl, this sophomore. No he didn't want to be hurt once more like he did with Hau Lu.

He turned towards the guys, they either shrugged their shoulders or gave him looks as if telling him 'are you actually going to let that sophomore do that?' He glanced back at Mulan who was still on the ground picking up her things. "You better watch where you're going next time sophomore." He said harshly to her face.

"I said that I was sorry" She repeated, a bit irritated by his comment. She was about to pick up her last paper when she noticed his shoe stepping on it. She looked up at him and began to get angry with him, "Will you please get off my paper"

He looked up and nodded his head and laughed. His friends who were beginning to laugh except Chien Po who was in the back watching the cruelty and rudeness that his friends were doing to poor Mulan.

Shang looked into her eyes and that same soft; warm something inside him made him have this weak feeling. Keeping his straight cocky grin he lifted his foot, letting her take it. Mulan took it and was about to walk away when Shang warned, "You better watch it next time or you won't be so lucky."

Mulan glared at him and walked away. Shang joined his friends as they laughed he looked at Chien Po who looked at him back and simple just shook his head in disbelief. Shang stopped laughing but instead for that quick moment studied Chien Po's face expression. Shang ignored it and went along with the others.

"Hey Shangy........" Said a young mans voice from behind them. They all turned around recognizing the voice. Shang glared at him and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Nu Fa" Said Shang.

"What do you want now, you....." Yao began but got interrupted by him when Nu Fa held up his finger and waved it in the air to not continue with the rude comments that he had to say to his face.

"Now that's not every nice to treat your old pale." Said Nu Fa as he turned to glare at Shang. "I see that you remembered me, Shang." He walked over to face Shang having five of his other guys right behind him who were strongly built as the others.

Shang smiled and cocked his head, "How could I forget a rat." Said Shang as if were a joke. "I thought you and Hau Lu were just going to run off together?" Asked Shang.

"Oh... well we were but she moved away and I decided to go on and graduate high school then oh.....You know bother you some more, make you life hell once more." Said Nu Fa in a sarcastic matter.

Shang gritted his teeth and glared at him. "Well we better get going, bye Shang." He said as he walked away with the five others following him. Once they were gone Shang made a fist and pounded it into the locker right next to him. He sighed heavily from the anger deep inside him.

"Hey, don't worry about him, he's an ass, he'll get what he deserves one of these days." Assured Loong.

He sighed once more, then the bell rang. Shang not even saying anything to them walked away to his class. Loong, Wang and the gang watched as their friend walked away in furry and pain inside.

They all then went their separate ways and headed to class. The day went by and both Mulan and Ma Li were in English class doing their class work productively. Loong was sitting down in his seat working on the class work; he was easily getting bored with it. He was the same person that Ma Li thought was cute in their class. He looked up to see what time it was, but when he did he noticed that the same girl that Shang made fun of was right across from him. He slowly lowered his head down so that she would not see him and recognize him.

As he looked at her, he realized that she was the same girl that Shang was supposed to pour something on too. Getting bored he began to work once more.

The bell rung and everyone got up, "Now if your finished keep them, but if your not be sure to finish them." Announced the teacher.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

At lunch Mulan was eating and doing her homework at the same time. Ma Li looked over Mulan's shoulder to see what she was doing. "You're doing homework now?" She asked as she sat down in the seat right next to her.

"I won't have time once I go home, I got to go to practice."

Ma Li sighed, "Martial arts again, but you don't need them?" Argued Ma Li. Mulan looked up at her friend and smiled.

"Ma Li, you know that I just want to be safe and plus it's good exercise." She said, getting back to working on her papers so she would get it done before lunch was over.

"I know I know but, your already really good at it, I bet you can take down all the guys here" Complimented Ma Li. Mulan did any ways now a lot of martial arts, she practiced ever since she was ten and never stopped ever since.

Mulan smiled and blushed a bit, then there was a sudden crack of laughter and a poor girl that was running out of the lunchroom screaming. Mulan noticed that it was Shang and his friends, she sighed heavily. "God those guys are real jerks" Announced Mulan. " I was walking and I bumped into Shang and him and the whole gang in the morning and they embarrassed me."

"Really, what jerks?"

"Guess what he said when I was about to leave?"

"What?"

"He told me to watch it."

"Wow, Oh...he has to watch his own back because you can get him and you can get him hard and he will be so surprised." Said Ma Li. making both herself and Mulan begin to laugh.

Shang on the other hand was talking to his friends, "Hey, you know that girl that ran into you today? You know that she is the same one that you were going to spill something on?" Said Loong.

"Yeah, I knew that, well she knows not to mess with me or really any of us anymore" Said Shang with pride.

"No, I don't think she'll mess with any Seniors" Said Yao.

"Yeah......." They all yelled out and gave each other high fives. Chien Po sat there examining the room and all the people in it, but when he saw the young girl that they had teased earlier, he had a feeling that there was something different about her. For some odd reason he had a feeling that she was different in a way. He had visions like this because he practiced easing the body and spirit and his teacher would teach him stuff like that. He was learning to be a monk anyway so he had some experience.

"Hey Chien Po, what are you doing?" Asked Shang, interrupting Chien Po's thoughts.

"Oh...Nothing"

"What are you looking at over there?" Once again Shang asked pondering why his friend has been so quiet lately.

"No...He's just looking at that stupid sophomore girl." Said Wang pointing over to where Mulan was sitting.

"I think we should do something to her after school or something." Suggested Wang.

"I think you guys should leave her alone." Said Chien Po as he paused waiting for their response.

"Why?" They all asked at once. Confused as to why Chien Po was standing up for this one girl.

"Yeah, she knows not to mess with us anymore or at least she shouldn't any more." Said Shang. Chien Po was about to explain but then the bell rang and lunch was over. "Shang" Called out Chien Po. Shang stopped and waited for Chien Po to catch up with him then walked with him.

"What is it Chien Po?" Asked Shang.

"Well I was about to tell you guys that, that girl; she's different from the rest, I can sense it." He paused "I have a feeling that you really never should have messed with her, I can see it in her that she is strong willed, but yet has a sweet and gentle heart."

"You can tell this by the visions?"

"There not necessary visions, Since I'm training to become a monk, I can see when I look at her I can tell that she is strong. And I think you should give her a chance, I saw how you looked at her and I can tell that when you see her that there's some kind of spark inside of you."

Shang chuckled, "What do you mean?" Chien Po looked at him giving him the 'you know what I mean look' Shang began to laugh, "You can't be serious, she's a sophomore and......"

"And....seniors can't like sophomores, why won't see past that silly nonsense and see that she might be the one?" Shang looked at him ready to laugh but held it in realizing that maybe he was right. "Well I got to get to class you just think about it ok."

"Yeah..." Responded Shang, having second thoughts on what to do. As he got to class he sat in his seat and did the class work that was assigned on the chalkboard. Once he finished he put his head down and thought about what Chien Po said then what the other guys told him to do, and much more that has been going on ever since he saw her. "Why is this happening to me, I don't want to like? Do I like her? Why, what makes her so different from the others?" He questioned in his head.

As the bell went off, the next few classes went by and all of them he argued to himself what he would do. By the end of the day he had finally decided to say that he was sorry to her and maybe to introduce himself to her.

As he made his way outside to where his car was, he leaned up against the nice red shiny paint of his new car and waited to see if she would come out.

Mulan and Ma Li were walking together "Bye" Mulan waved good bye to her friend and headed straight for Shang's direction, not knowing that he was even there.

He sighed and took a deep breath. "Hey!" He called out. Mulan looked up and saw that it was Shang, she glared at him and continued walking away. Shang ran after her and walked right up against her. "I was wondering if I could get your name, please."

"Oh so you can spread a rumor about me or something? I don't think so." She began to walk faster but then he got in front of her and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Please, I want to know your name, so I can give you a proper apology." He said as he continued to look deep into her eyes. Mulan could see that by his eyes he was like almost pleading.

"Mulan, Fa Mulan" She said kindly and in a sweet voice.

"Well Mulan, I'm sorry about what I did, and I was hoping to make it up to you?" He said giving her one of his to die for grins. Mulan was not impressed and thought that maybe this is some kind of trick or something and would make a fool out of her.

She began to walk away. "Woo...wait, I said that I was sorry" Said Shang trying to catch up to her.

"How do I know your not making it up?" She continued to walk faster.

"Hey wait....." He grabbed her by the arm, with this Mulan took his arm and twisted it around, then sent her leg right under his, knocking him down hard on the ground. She kneeled over him and said, "You better watch yourself...Senor." She grinned at him and left. He got up quickly and rubbed his head and back. He continued to watch as she left astonished that she actually took him down like that, that she even had the skill and strength to do such a thing. Chien Po was right, she was different, but it was the kind of different that made him wonder if Chien Po might be right that she could be his type.

A smile crept upon his face and he began to chuckle, "Wow..." He whispered to himself. He shook his head then headed to his car, making the car's engine roar he turned out of the school and headed for home.
