CHAPTER 2

Sakura was walking through the halls. The bell for lunch rang about 2 minutes ago and the halls were now completely empty. Sakura would have been in the lunch room by now if it wasn't for her locker not wanting to open. Giving a sigh Sakura continued to walk, her messanger bag on her shoulder.

"Damn girl, where have you been!" Sakura heard someone yell. She looked up to see Meilien running towards her. She walked up to her and stopped.

"Sorry, my damn locker wouldn't open." Meilien smiled and the two started walking towards the lunch room together. They're conversation didn't really start until they walked into the lunch room.

"I had to basiclly fight for your seat. Make sure you get here fast next time ok? I can't promise you that you will have a seat tomorrow. But once you rule your place in this school, people will glady give seats up for you. Depending on how you are." Sakura just nodded. She followed Meilien to a table where a few people sat. Meilien pulled out a chair next to her and told Sakura to sit down. Sakura normally didn't take orders from anyone, but today she really didn't feel like fighting.

"Ok guys, I want you to meet the new girl. Ed, Charles, Tiff and Lu, this is Sakura. Sakura these are my friends." Sakura gave a little wave. Ed and Charles reminded Sakura of skaterboys but without the skateboard. Tiff and Lu looked like girls who really didn't give a damn what others thought. Sakura could tell she liked them already. The four said their hello's one by one. Afterwords Meilien turned back to Sakura.

"You hungry?" Sakura wasn't really that hungry. But she could go for something to drink. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a crumpled five dollar bill.

"Actually something to drink sounds good." Sakura said. Meilien smiled. She stood up and also pulled some money out of her pocket.

"Me to. Lets go get a coffee." Sakura smiled. Coffee was Sakura's life. She seemed to almost survive on coffee. The two walked to the cafe that they had in the school. It wasn't anything special, just a counter on which the register sat with the coffee pots sitting behind it.

"What can I get you girls?" The lady behind the counter asked. Meilien looked at the menu and ordered a large coffee with 2 creams.

"I'll have the same but with 2 sugars." Sakura said. The lady took their money and then gave out their change. They got their coffee and headed back to their table when someone stood up right when Sakura was walking by and knocked the coffee out of her hands. Sakura watched as the coffee flew up in the air and land right on the other persons white sweater. All Sakura could do was stare.

Madison sat at the table with her many friends and her loving boyfriend Li. Madison was telling her friend Heather about this new store that was opening up at the mall when she noticed her boyfriend starring at something rather contently. Following her boyfriends gaze, Madison became very angry. He was looking at that new girl. The one that dressed like a slob, the one who was way lower in the popularity chain. The one who was hanging out with Meilien Rae.

"Who in the hell does that...girl...think she is. She has nothing to catch the eye of my man that I don't obviously have. Oh just wait!" Madison thought as she watched the girl turn around and walk back towards them. Suddenly Madison stood up and purposely knocked the coffee out of the girls hand waiting for it to land on her ugly black hoodie. Instead the coffee came at her, spilling on her new white sweater. Madison screamed with anger.

Meilien turned around and saw the scene that was being displayed before her. Madison was wearing Sakura's coffee and was screaming at the top of her lungs while Sakura just stood there and stared. Meilien had to swollow the giggle that was working its way up her throat. Madison was turning red in the face when finally her "goones" started grabbing paper towels to soak up the coffee that was running down Madison's shirt. Meilien walked up to Sakura and grabbed her arm,

"Come on, better sit down." Meilien tried saying but Madison was already sending death glares at her.

"You clumsy, little BITCH!" Madison yelled! Sakura seemed to snap out of her trance then because her eyes seemed to narrow some. "You just ruined my very exspensive sweater, not that you know anything about exspensive you SLOB!" Madison shouted out again.

"Well if you didn't stand your ass up and knock into me your "darling" sweater wouldn't be covered in my coffee." Sakura retorted. Meilien had to smile, it's been a while since someone snapped back at Madison. Madison seemed to snort a response and grabbed a few towels for herself and started dabing her sweater.

"You will so pay for this you little bitch." Sakura just smiled and couldn't help to say,

"You promise?" Meilien quickly grabbed Sakura's arm and drug her back to their table where she finally let out a very loud laugh.

Li couldn't believe Madison was wearing the new girls coffee. The new girl who he was starring at the whole time she got her coffee. He was taken back that the girl actually stood up to Madison. No one has ever stood up to Madison. Well, not as long as he was dating her. Li watched as the girl yelled back at Madison, his focus was on her deep emerald eyes. But as fast as it started it ended and the girl walked off and sat at another table. Li watched the girl sit down, he was still mismerized with the girl until her companion turned and looked right at him. Meilien Rae.

"Damn it. Of all the people for that girl to get messed up with, she gets messed up with Meilien." Li thought to himself. His cousin seemed to always be the most lucky one in the family.
