Chapter 2 The Welcome
"Well I got to go smoke, drink, and get high. See you later ugly."
And with that the guy walked away.
Faggot! Bastard! Shit faced hoodlum!
I fumed as I walked out of the park, and started back towards DaGong. But unfortunately, I was completely lost. What the hell? Don't I just walk straight for 10 blocks and I'm there? Is my sense of direction completely berserk?!
"Meimei!" I turned around, and got tackled by a wall of muscle.
"WHA-"
"Meimei! You're so cute! So cute! What's your name? Your so cute!"
Why are you yelling…you stranger you! I'm right next to you!
"Uhh…" I stuttered, really, what do you say to that?!
"Zhouyu Ah, what are you doing to the poor kid?"
I stood there in stunned silence as a handsome guy came towards us.
Kid?! Yes, I'm constantly told I have a middle school kid's face plastered on a high school body, but kid?! That's not fair!
"I'm Sakura, and I'm not a KID, I'm in college too!"
Both of the boys stared at me, then the one called Zhouyu shot off his mouth again.
"Wow, wow! Tom, isn't she cute?! Such a cute Meimei! Lets go have tea!"
He ran forward, grabbed my hand, and started running.
"Wait… wait! Where are you taking me?!"
"Only sensible place to take a kid! Boba nai ca cafe!"
"I'm not a ki-" I couldn't even finish my sentence as we were running zigzagged all over the place.
We finally stopped in front of a cute little tea café with a warming aroma floating out of it.
"Meimei, do you like pearl milk tea?"
I stood there in a half shocked state as Zhouyu pulled me in and ordered strawberry and taro root pearl milk tea. Then, taking my hand, dragged me to a table near the window and he then proceeded to tell me about himself in the longest fashion possible.
"So… oh! I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Zhouyu Chang! 1st year in NanJang all boy's college! My parents put me in an all boy's because when I see a cute girl, I have to take her home! I don't think they liked that, but anyway, that's not very important. I'm part of a semi gang. That's right! A semi gang. Not really a gang, yet like one. Does that make sense? I have to meet my leader guy soon! Can't be late, because he's scary. Scarier than Principal woo! Scarier than my parents! He'll beat the living shit out of me if I'm late! But for now, ill have tea with you! Because, Meimei, your so cute!"
Wow… that was long…and very random.
"So, Meimei, what's your life story?"
"Umm… I'm Sakura Kinomoto… from Japan. I got a scholarship from DaGong University so I transferred here. And I'm a first year. That's all." Who in their right minds would tell a total cute strang- wait, did I say cute? A total stranger who they are?! Oh shit, I just told him who I was! Idiot idiot!
"Oh!!! Then you're NOT a Meimei! But you're so small and adorable! I'll call you Meimei anyway. You're from Japan? Wow! Your Chinese is excellent!"
I smiled awkwardly, which gave Zhouyu more reason to continue howling.
"Oh my god! Meimei your smile is so cute! Meimei, I HAVE to show you to myDaGe! He's going out with this OK girl. She is very loud! But if I show you to Ge, he'll get so jealous I got a cuter girl! Come with me!"
No Zhouyu…. You're very loud. So loud, that the whole Café is staring at us right now. I just want to melt and die.
Our order was called, which I was thankful for. Looking at the Swiss watch on his arm, he cringed as he saw the time.
"Oh No Meimei! I'm going to be late! 5 minutes late in fact! Meimei! XiaoLang is going to kill me! He's scarier than Principal woo! Scarier than my parents! Meimei, I'm going to die today!"
Zhouyu ah… who is this leader of yours? A psycho? A drug addict who can't stand a cronie being late 5 minutes? I bet you he's last in class! Wait, no, I bet you he's last in school!
He grabbed my hand from across the table, got up, strode over to the counter, picked up the drinks, winked at the girl serving who flushed brightly, and ran out the door.
We raced down the streets while I unsuccessfully tried to yank my hand out of him.
"Zhouyu… Zhouyu! I have to go home! My family doesn't know I'm here! What if they call the police?!"
"Sakura Meimei, here's my cell phone. Say you're out with friends. I don't have time to bring you home!"
While running, I snatched the phone from him and dialed the apartment number. 3 rings passed when I heard my brother's voice.
"Wei?"
"Toya!" I managed to bawl out as we ran dangerously through crowded streets.
"Sakura?! Where are you?! You were suppose to be back home an hour ago?! Did you get lost?! Stay where you are! Ill find you! Where-"
Zhouyu grabbed the cell phone and used a breath to get this sentence out,
"Sakura Meimei's brother?!"
"WHAT?!" I heard Toya's screeching voice from the cell as we ran jaywalking, wait. We weren't jaywalking. We were jayrunning!
"Who is this!? Kidnapper?! Stalker?! Sakura! SaKura! Where are you!?"
"Don't worry my future brother in law! Sakura Meimei is in good hands! My hands in fact! Don't worry! I'll bring her back by 5! You hear me?! 5 PM!!! See you! I love you! Bye!"
I watched dumfounded as Zhouyu pushed end and stopped abruptly.
"Well, Meimei, we are here."
I looked up and saw the large and lush sign. We were at… Seida apartments? The white gleaming tiles gave a sunny reflection and I gasped. A gang leader lived in this?! No way!
"7th floor" Zhouyu said to himself and he pushed himself and me into the elevator, punching in the corresponding number.
Ding!
We were out and Zhouyu walked towards a door with the number 387.
BZZZ!
We waited for the guy to answer.
"Hello?" said a irritated voice. It sounded very familiar.
"Ge! It's Zhouyu. I'm here, and with a girl too!"
I needed to sink into the ground right now, and disappear forever.
"You're late." A chilling voice came out from the spick clean apartment.
"I know." Zhouyu said guiltily, "But I brought a cute Meimei! And I got you you're favorite drink and Beijing sweets."
At this, the door swung immediately open and a distant voice called out
"Well, come in."
Zhouyu looked excited and whispered to me, " I'm off the hook! Now, I just need to talk to Ge for a moment and hopefully everything will die down, and we can go have dinner!"
"But-"
Zhouyu didn't give me a chance to finish my sentence as he gave me a shove into the apartment. I immediately smelled the nasty smell of cigarettes and alcohol and began coughing, covering up my nose. Behind me, Zhouyu grabbed a tissue and handed it to me.
"Sorry Meimei. XiaoLang is a living, breathing Cig. He can't stop smoking. I think it's his life ambition to die at 40."
I stared at him confused. Why was a gang member trying to make his leader stop smoking? Shouldn't all gangs be smoking?
"Oh… its ugly."
I halted where I stood and looked at the guy in front of me in shock. It was Mr. Hoodlum! He stood there with a cigarette sticking out the side of his mouth looking slightly amused at me.
"Ge? You know this girl?" Zhouyu said with confusion.
"Yeah, I know ugly. Is this the girl you said was oh so cute?" He looked at me with raised eyebrows. I felt a small rage build up in me. You're fanning the flame punk.
"Yeah! Isn't she cute?! I'm going to ask her out!" Zhouyu said excitingly as he jumped up and down.
Zhouyu… I'm standing right next to you. No need to talk like I'm not. And why are you jumping up and down? Reminds me of Tomoyo.
The guy named XiaoLang laughed and said, "Go ahead. My girlfriend is much prettier than her. Anyway, what did Tom say?" He turned from laughing, to complete seriousness.
Scary. But still a punk!
Zhouyu winked, and put up an OK sign. XiaoLang grinned and said "Great. Everything is going according to plan then. Tonight's going to be hell. Don't drink anything before then."
I was completely confused.
"And you, ugly."
I flared up.
"Who are you calling ugly!?"
I bent over, grabbed, the cigarette from out of his mouth, and threw it right at his face.
Right about now I realize, the cigarette is still hot.
"FUCK!" XiaoLang yelled and the cigarette burned a nice little smudge on his face.
I would have been completely happy and cheery except I saw the stoned look on XiaoLang's face.
"Meimei, you are so dead."
You don't need to tell me that!
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yeah! That's it for now.
Oh btw:
Meimei: little sister.
Gege: brother (Ge for short)
Dage: older brother. Gangs use this as a leader name. Sometimes hahahahha.
Boba nai ca: boba peal milk. Yummy!
My arm hurts!
Love, Miss Kit.
