She was labeled Outcast. Kicked out of her school, her home, her country, she flees to the only place where peace will allow her to follow, the states. Three years later, she's coming back for more. Now it's her turn to label them. She is also back for sweet bitter revenge. Watch as she collides with Syaoran Li, the only person who looked passed her flab, and into her heart he went.
Chapter 4 – Syaoran Li
"This is where you lived?" Akira looked around, a smile spreading on his face.
"It feels all warm and cozy here, Cerise." Sakura nodded, she was dazed. Then she hit Akira right side-up.
"You should have told me!" She grumbled, then continued on…absorbing up this moment.
"When I was living here…it felt so right. But now, my real home is with you guys…" She stated, walking around examining the house's contents. Akira watched her closely.
(Next Week)
"So this is Coral High." The school is freakishly huge! I scooted closer to Akira, my only comfort. He laughed.
"You are so chicken! You're a chicken princess!" Akira teased, still laughing. I cannot believe him!
"I can't help but feel…nervous, you know? Like in those movies, ugly and fat girls get skinny and gorgeous. Then they develop this confident feeling and they act all that. But…I'm the opposite." I looked up as Akira placed a hand on my shoulder; his royal eyes looked into mine.
"Sakura…I don't understand why you're nervous. You're beautiful, girlie. You're amazing…intelligent, witty, clever, sly, gorgeous, fantast-"
"Alright, alright, alright! Geesies!" I laughed. Akira smiled.
"Be proud, and hold your head up high. Act royal and they all will treat you royal." I nodded at his advice. I took his arm and ran inside the building. I stopped abruptly as I felt hundreds of eyes on me.
"Did I ever mention there's supposed to be over one thousand students here…? Akira laughed as I glared at him. I stared back at all of them. Some girls were glaring at me. Well guess what? I glared back.
"What are you looking at?" I inquired, notice my curtness. The girls looked down, did I intimidate them? I turned back to Akira and he winked.
"Stop winking fool…" I muttered, embarrassed that he winked at me in front of one thousand students.
"Have you heard that there are two new students? They're from The States...isn't that where you're from Dana?" A high pitched preppy voice chirped.
I looked ahead of me and frowned. I regretted to look forward, because staring right back at me was a purple curly haired girl and a blonde preppy girl.
"Have you heard, there's a new student? He's from Hong Kong...isn't that where you're from Dana?" A high pitched preppy voice chirped. I looked ahead of me and frowned. I regretted to look forward, because staring right back at me was Dana Law and Katherine Kaleen.
"Ugh…my head hurts." I held my grip tighter on Akira, staring at the two girls. I'm guessing Dana Law and Katherine Kaleen. Dana shot an annoyed look at Katherine.
"Finally, you guessed! Ok first, I wasn't from Hong Kong, Mexico, England, Korea, Africa, Australia, Canada, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, or Finland." Dana muttered angrily.
"Woo, it's the psycho bitch." I quickly covered my mouth. Why the hell did I just say that?! My eyes widened as Dana and Katherine walked towards me, the same sly look on their faces. I glanced at Akira; he was silent the whole time.
"Who is that? I know they're part of the in-crowd by the way they walk with…'authority' but…exactly who?" Akira inquired, glancing over them quickly. I glanced over them also, making sure they saw me examine them.
"Dana Law is the Lavender curls, Katherine Kaleen is the Blondie." I replied, keeping my eyes on them, cautiously.
"Hello…" Dana drawled out, smiling sweetly, dangerously sweet. I stared at her, trying not to show my emotions. I feel scared almost, but just almost.
"Hi! I'm Kitty!" Katherine cried out perkily…I wish I could hit her right on that moment and spot…but, it would ruin the plans. I stayed put.
"I'm Dana Law; we're part of the in-crowd." Dana rubbed the fact in. How…annoying.
"I'm Akira Huang." Akira smirked at the two girls. They smiled and giggled with fakery. Dana quirked a brow at me.
"And you are?" I wanted to say, 'none of your business!' But then…she didn't recognize me…I glanced at Akira and smiled.
"Cerise Huang." I replied, smiling fakery, and being obvious about it. Dana smiled sugary…too sugary for her own good, not like she has any.
"Want to hang out with us? You two seem cool and just fit for us!" Dana grabbed my arm as Katherine grabbed Akira's arm, dragging us to who knows where!
(Classroom 13)
"Hello sexy" Someone shouted out. I glanced around the room. A group of 10 people stood there, posing…urgh, I can't stand this. It seems like they recruited more people in the crowd.
"Hey guys! This is Akira and Cerise." Dana smiled and spoke kindly, if I never knew her, I'd think she's nice. I stared at them all. I see Timmy, Katherine, Dana, Rickey, Veronica, and Jamie…I don't know the other four.
"Hi!" Everyone said in sync. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I cannot believe they are acting nice to me…or…have they changed?
"Akira, Cerise, this is Timmy, Rickey, Veronica, Jamie, Lexy, Chris, Tess, and Tomoyo." Dana pointed to each person as she said their names. All I can say is they look snobby. Lexy was smiling flirtingly with Akira. Chris winked at me. Tess eyed Akira carefully. And Tomoyo was staring at her crimson nails, uninterested with neither Akira nor me.
A boy walked in the room, setting his books on a desk, he sat down and begins to read. Everyone instantly glared at him, excluding Akira and me of course. Why are they glaring at him? The boy's eyes looked up.
"Yes?" He inquired, clueless. Tomoyo shrieked.
"Get out of here! You're contaminating our air of coolness! GET OUT! You dinky little nerd!" Chris threw a fairly thick book at the guy. The guy ran away, clearly scared. I cannot…believe them…
"What the hell was that?!" I yelled out. Dana glanced at me, and then continued tending her nails.
"Sorry about that, some nerds just can't get enough of us. He shouldn't have been in this room. It's not even class time!" She rolled her eyes, the others nodded, agreeing. I was overwhelmed with rage.
"If it's not even class time…why are you here?" I asked, calmly. But calm was the last thing I was feeling right this moment. I take back what I said before, they haven't changed. It's the same old same old. No one can ever change…
"Why should we not be here? We are the in-crowd. We rule the school." Tess smiled lazily. She gave a high five to Lexy. I was at the point of screaming at their ignorance when Akira tugged at my shirt. I frowned and followed him out of the classroom.
"Don't start a fight yet, they'll be aware you hate them-"
"I cannot believe them! Can I attack Dana's face?" I begged. Akira smiled slightly.
"When we find a perfect opportunity. Try to stay calm Sakura…" Akira then walked away. I glared at him.
"What do you think you're doing?! Walking away from me when I'm not done interrogating you!" I screamed and I chased him down the halls. I think I knocked some guy over, oh well. I apologized anyway. Oh, Akira turned at a corner…urgh…
"Kill you!" I shouted as the chase continued.
(Third Person)
Syaoran rubbed his head; some crazy psycho knocked him over as she ran after a guy, probably her boyfriend. He shook his head.
"I shouldn't put too much thought into this." He slipped his hands in his pockets and continued walking.
"Syaoran!" He looked ahead, his eyes dreading what he saw. Katherine, Dana, Lexy, Tess, Veronica, and Tomoyo were running towards him.
"HI!" They shouted as they latched onto his arm. He sighed as he was attacked with questions.
"Do I look fat in this skirt?" Syaoran glanced at Katherine's skirt. It was mini and barely covered her ass. "No." He lied.
"Are you excited about the new students? They look ultra cool!" Dana busted out. Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I am excited." He said his lie in monotone.
"Has Timmy talked to you about me yet? I think he likes me!" Syaoran stared at the shrieking Veronica.
"Yes, he likes you." He lied, again.
"Did you miss me, Syao?" Lexy pushed herself right in front of Syaoran, ready to hug him. He cringed, pushed her back.
"Yes, I fortunately missed you." He replied, referring to the hug.
"I feel lonely tonight, Ricky dumped me! Want to date me, Syaoran?" Tess asked, a hopeful spark alighted her aura filled eyes. Syaoran was about to say 'No, I'm busy.' But Tomoyo butted in.
"Hello?! No, you bitch! Syaoran is kicking it with me tonight." Tomoyo wrapped her arms around Syaoran's neck, hanging off him. Syaoran glared down at her.
"Please get off me, Tomoyo. You're heavy." After 10 seconds, she was still gripping him. He sighed and shoved her off with ease. He walked around calmly, his hands still in his pockets. Giggles were heard behind him. And the girls were teasing Tomoyo, saying,
"He's playing hard to get!"
"Got some damn fine catch there Tomoyo…fine ass!"
Syaoran grumbled, sickened by the high maintenance interferences. Interferences of his life.
(4th Period)
Sakura glanced at the clock. Her jade orbs followed the teacher, then back to the clock.
"Miss Huang, please stop glancing at the clock. You must pay attention to class!" The teacher spoke up, then returning to teaching. Akira snickered. Sakura was too tired to glare at him.
BRRRIIINGGG "Ok, homework is page 356, 56-70, Evens, and page 467, 3-81, odds. Class dismissed."
"More like class is dissed." Akira jokes about the homework. "Who does he think he…blah, outrageous homework is all I can say!"
"Good." Sakura replied, walking ahead, uninterested.
"S-Sakura?" Akira ran after her, worry portrayed him.
"Nothing." She replied in monotone, knowing he was about to ask, "What is wrong?"
"Sakura!" Akira whined. She twitched.
"Akira!" She countered.
"Sakura!"
"Akira!"
"Sakura!"
"Akira!"
"Sakura!"
"Akira!"
"Akira!"
'Crap' came out of Akira's mouth. Sakura laughed and slapped him silly.
"Sakura!"
"Akira!"
"Sakura!"
"Oof!" Akira blinked, and looked questionably at Sakura. She broke the whining war!
"Gasp…" Akira said, staring at the collision. Some guy was on top of Sakura. Akira shoved him off her.
"You ok Sak -"
"Sorry!" Sakura spoke towards the guy, dusting dirt off her. The guy lifted his head up and frowned.
"You, again. Didn't I tell you to watch where you're going?" Syaoran asked, clearly annoyed with running into her. Sakura puffed, angry, her eyes never left the mahogany orbs.
"Syaoran Li, is this a way to treat the girl who saved your life? Stalk her, bump into her, getting caught, and blaming her?!" Sakura stood up and kicked him. She walked away, hungry. Akira gave Syaoran the eye and trailed after her.
Once he reached her, he grinned.
"You go girl!" Sakura stared at him. Her look portrayed, 'Akira, you creepy.' Then she suddenly blinked, did a double take at Syaoran as she spun around.
"That was Syaoran!" Akira laughed.
"Dur!" Akira continued laughing. Sakura sighed. This is outrageous…the boy who she was thinking of for 3 years straight…finally runs into her. Yet…they are so distant.
'Where is our friendship? Did it disappear along with me when I entered that damned airplane?' Sakura fingered her silver locket that was tucked smugly behind her shirt. A smile grazed her lips.
"I…I never got this close to someone before, Sakura. To be honest…you are my first true friend. Knowing you for these past 2 weeks and 2 days has been an honor. Sorry I skipped class again. I know you hate it when I do but I was hunting down a present as your farewell gift…" He flushed, Syaoran Li…cocky, arrogant, yet kind, funny, and idiotic. He was her cute imbecilic friend. Sakura slowly took the pink box from him with a small smile.
Her hand reached into her pockets and withdrew a pink box out. She slowly slid the lid off and stared inside at the breath taking jewelry, a pair of pink flowery earrings. A silver chained locket.
"Love you?!" Sakura angrily slapped herself. "Smart move Sakkie…now Syaoran thinks I like him…ugh!"
"…you're a great friend. Don't ever let jerks bully you for your outer appearance." She looked at into his eyes for the final time.
"Yes…thank you. You're also a great friend…my friend. Steer clear of the in-crowd, boy. Be more social you hermit…that is my final wish." As she finished her last sentence, tears sprang into action.
"Goodbye…"He hugged Sakura, and she wrapped my arms around him.
"Hello Cerise!" Katherine popped up with her flirty gaze on Akira. Sakura bit her lip as her chain of cherished memories faded away, thanks to Katherine Kaleen.
"Hello Kitty…" Sakura replied, looking at Katherine in disgust. She only called her Kity because…well its part of the plan. Katherine piqued up.
"WHERE?! Oh my gosh, like-I like-love Hello Kitty!" Katherine looked around frantically. Sakura sighed. Akira on the other hand was amused.
"What do you want?" Sakura asked, wishing Katherine would disappear. Her high pitch voice gives Sakura headaches.
"Like-come eat with us! We like-have like-13 members now!" Katherine began clapping wildly. Sakura blinked.
"Um…you go on ahead first, Kitty! Me and Sakkie will be there soon." Akira replied, seeing Sakura in pain just from the presence of Katherine. Katherine stopped smiling.
"Sakkie…? Reminds me of Sakura." Sakura shot a cautioned glance at Akira as he faked a smile.
'Wonder what hell he'll do now…' Sakura watched as Akira…surprisingly come up with a good excuse.
"Sakura is Cerise's middle name," Akira laughed, continuing on, "She hates it when I call her Sakura so I shorten it to Sakkie!"
Sakura smirked as Katherine nodded stonily at Akira's excuse, looking thoughtful for a moment. Then she quickly lost the stoic and regained her airhead attitude.
"Alright…it's just that I remember a little dweeb back in 7th grade…you should have seen the fat ass!" Katherine laughed, the harsh comment hit Sakura right in the face. She would have rather have bricks or cement hit her instead. Slowly, she backed away from Katherine slowly; the temptation of beating Katherine's face in was growing wildly.
"Well, lata, ya'll!" Katherine bounced airily away, unknown of 'Cerise' whose blood was boiling. Akira rested a comforting hand on her shoulder. Sakura jerked away.
"Let's go." Akira nodded at her command, knowing she was pretty steamed at the in-crowd. Sakura's heels clicked hastily against the floor. It looked like she was stopping yet didn't put much force into it. Akira made sure to stay a distance away. She may not look it, yet she is very far from serene. Sakura pushed the double sided doors out, a sweet smile plastered on her face. As her emerald eyes took in the scene before her, she the smile disappeared. Akira stared alongside her.
"Shut up my bitches!" Tomoyo snapped as she clung onto Syaoran.
"What's up baby? You haven't touched a bit of your food." She whined, looking like a little brat sitting on Santa's lap…
"That's because you made it." He retorted, sighing.
"That little bitch…" slipped out of Sakura's mouth and all heads turned to her and Akira's direction.

"This is where you lived?" Akira looked around, a smile spreading on his face.
"It feels all warm and cozy here, Cerise." Sakura nodded, she was dazed. Then she hit Akira right side-up.
"You should have told me!" She grumbled, then continued on…absorbing up this moment.
"When I was living here…it felt so right. But now, my real home is with you guys…" She stated, walking around examining the house's contents. Akira watched her closely.
"So this is Coral High." The school is freakishly huge! I scooted closer to Akira, my only comfort. He laughed.
"You are so chicken! You're a chicken princess!" Akira teased, still laughing. I cannot believe him!
"I can't help but feel…nervous, you know? Like in those movies, ugly and fat girls get skinny and gorgeous. Then they develop this confident feeling and they act all that. But…I'm the opposite." I looked up as Akira placed a hand on my shoulder; his royal eyes looked into mine.
"Sakura…I don't understand why you're nervous. You're beautiful, girlie. You're amazing…intelligent, witty, clever, sly, gorgeous, fantast-"
"Alright, alright, alright! Geesies!" I laughed. Akira smiled.
"Be proud, and hold your head up high. Act royal and they all will treat you royal." I nodded at his advice. I took his arm and ran inside the building. I stopped abruptly as I felt hundreds of eyes on me.
"Did I ever mention there's supposed to be over one thousand students here…? Akira laughed as I glared at him. I stared back at all of them. Some girls were glaring at me. Well guess what? I glared back.

"Have you heard, there's a new student? He's from Hong Kong...isn't that where you're from Dana?" A high pitched preppy voice chirped. I looked ahead of me and frowned. I regretted to look forward, because staring right back at me was Dana Law and Katherine Kaleen.
"Ugh…my head hurts." I held my grip tighter on Akira, staring at the two girls. I'm guessing Dana Law and Katherine Kaleen. Dana shot an annoyed look at Katherine.
"Finally, you guessed! Ok first, I wasn't from Hong Kong, Mexico, England, Korea, Africa, Australia, Canada, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, or Finland." Dana muttered angrily.
"Woo, it's the psycho bitch." I quickly covered my mouth. Why the hell did I just say that?! My eyes widened as Dana and Katherine walked towards me, the same sly look on their faces. I glanced at Akira; he was silent the whole time.

"And you are?" I wanted to say, 'none of your business!' But then…she didn't recognize me…I glanced at Akira and smiled.
"Cerise Huang." I replied, smiling fakery, and being obvious about it. Dana smiled sugary…too sugary for her own good, not like she has any.
"Want to hang out with us? You two seem cool and just fit for us!" Dana grabbed my arm as Katherine grabbed Akira's arm, dragging us to who knows where!

"…you're a great friend. Don't ever let jerks bully you for your outer appearance." She looked at into his eyes for the final time.
"Yes…thank you. You're also a great friend…my friend. Steer clear of the in-crowd, boy. Be more social you hermit…that is my final wish." As she finished her last sentence, tears sprang into action.
"Goodbye…"He hugged Sakura, and she wrapped my arms around him.
"Hello Cerise!" Katherine popped up with her flirty gaze on Akira. Sakura bit her lip as her chain of cherished memories faded away, thanks to Katherine Kaleen.
"Hello Kitty…" Sakura replied, looking at Katherine in disgust. She only called her Kity because…well its part of the plan. Katherine piqued up.
"WHERE?! Oh my gosh, like-I like-love Hello Kitty!" Katherine looked around frantically. Sakura sighed. Akira on the other hand was amused.

It looked like she was stopping yet didn't put much force into it. Akira made sure to stay a distance away. She may not look it, yet she is very far from serene. Sakura pushed the double sided doors out, a sweet smile plastered on her face. As her emerald eyes took in the scene before her, she the smile disappeared. Akira stared alongside her.
"Shut up my bitches!" Tomoyo snapped as she clung onto Syaoran.
"What's up baby? You haven't touched a bit of your food." She whined, looking like a little brat sitting on Santa's lap…
"That's because you made it." He retorted, sighing.
"That little bitch…" slipped out of Sakura's mouth and all heads turned to her and Akira's direction.

Thank you all! I would love to write you all a little note but I'm rushing to upload this, lol. I'll only reply to questions needed to be answered.
Carmela-chan – I'll reveal a bit later what happened to Syaoran.
Lotus Dreams - Yeah, I changed the title, it seemed a bit too long. Isn't everyone OCC, lol. Actually, I never typed that Syaoran blushed. And he didn't stammer because of Sakura. He stammered because he stared at his watch before, hinting that he needed to go somewhere. I'm sorry for not being clear.
sTar zZz - We'll just have to find out about Akira's feelings of Sakura. (Smiles) I'll make sure…or try to end this fic happily. Don't worry.
Again, thank you all who reviewed! Each review is worth a lot to me and sometimes…I er, read them more than once. (Sweatdrops) Thanks for all the reviews! I really mean it.
I hope I didn't disappoint you with this chapter. Have fun reading and good luck with stuff, lol.
P.S. - Sorry I I can't e-mail you guys because right after , I don't see the dot whatever.
Signing Off, Blue Icy.
