Okay! I'm back! Yalls, I moved to my birth state Hawaii! It's so awesome here, but I miss my friends and old school (but this schools pretty cool ima taking Japanese woo hoo!)...but back to topic, it's been awhile since I updated, but hey! I have a valid excuse, I was moving and had no computer...well I did but it had no internet so hah P but since I did make you wait a long while, I'll make this chapter extra long.
Oh and a little thing about the story: don't be mad or anything, but a story isn't a story without some controversy, right?? So like in every other story they're will be a few people who get in the way...a lot Oh and if your wondering if the friendship between Aya, Travis and Sakura is going to fast, well I don't think it is because every time I moved I met friends the first and second day who ended up being my best friends, so poo on you if you think it. Oh yeah I'm adding another twist to this story again yippee!
Well, here's to a new chappie! clinks paper cup -- sorry I have no champagne glass around .
Thanks for everyone who reviewed, have some....uhhh...paper cups?...okay paper cups filed with soda then? hands out soda
Heh, now that everyone has soda, on with the chapter! (((Hi manda, and rue, and Nikki and everyone else I know who is reading this! waves)))
Chapter 3
A lump, that claimed to be a sleeping Sakura, was nearly half way off the floor when a knock came at her window.
'Noooo don't get up, the sound you heard was nothing, it was the wind!!!' her mind rambled lies to keep her in her in her light sleep.
The knock came louder and the repetitions between them vanished, into a beat every second.
Sakura sighed the people who were trying to wake her seceded and she threw her covers off of her, and to the side.
She made a "grrr'ing" type noise and dragged herself to the window; eyes half way opened, unlocked it, opened it a few inches, and walked back to her bed.
A slight laughter filled the air, at Sakura's deadness to be awakened in the morning.
"Why???!!!! Its soo early, why must I get up now???" Sakura whined covering her head with the pink sheets that was presently on her bed.
"Sakura it's only 10:00" The female voice she recognized as Aya said, trying to pry the blankets from Sakura, while Travis sat in a near by chair watching amused.
"Be that way then, I'll get up," Sakura said defeated because Aya had pulled the covers off her.
Sakura sat up, and rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and got up to brush through her hair. She sat next to her dresser brushing through her silky hair, "So why are you guys over? Not that I mind or anything."
"Well..." Aya started lowering her eyes, sitting on Sakura's bed.
"We want you to go swimming at the beach with us, before you say no hear us out." Travis said quickly, using run on sentences.
Sakura looked at the too warily, "You guys..."
"Sakura, I know what you've been through in school on your first day, and I know it was hard, but you can't let them stop you from going outside, and doing the things you love," Aya said looking to Travis to continue.
"You told us yesterday that you love to swim, and as you know we do too, so why not go swimming with us? It will be fun, we promise you, and plus we wont let anyone trouble you, you should know that, and besides the point I- we don't want you to turn into a nerd who only stays in the house and closes herself out to the world." Travis said whole-heartedly, making eye contact with Sakura to further show her his sincerity.
Sakura smiled and nodded her head 'there is no way I can win', "Okay I'll go with you, now shoo so I can get ready."
"Oh yes! You'll go?" Both Aya and Travis chimed happily.
"Yes, now shoo before I change my mind, go get ready, so I can get ready" Sakura said with a laugh, as they nodded and left through her window. (A/n: that would be cool to go to your friends house through their window huh? )
She grabbed her clothes and a bathing suit and went to change. She was happy she had recently gotten a new swim suit. It was a dark forest green bikini that accentuated her eyes, changing them from a light emerald color, to a translucent jade. To cover herself up till she got to the beach she put a pair of jean shorts, and a plain white T-shirt.
She ran down her stairs and met up with her father who she quickly pecked on the cheek. "Hey dad? I'm going to go to the beach with Travis and Aya Okays?"
"Sure honey, be back before late" Her dad said sipping coffee at the dining room table. 'What is late to him???'
Walking out of the room, she found her brother watching T.V. arms crossed, "Where ya going??"
"The beach with Travis and Aya," Sakura said skipping to the doorway, and putting sandals on her feet, and walking out her front door.
Reaching the twins house she rapped the door a few times, hearing their mother come to the door.
"Oh Sakura hello, come on in," Maylin moved to the side while gesturing her inside, "The twins are just upstairs getting ready, your welcome to go up."
"Okay thank you," Sakura said walking up the stairs and into the open room of Aya who was brushing her hair, "Hi Sakura"
"Hey A," Sakura replied, standing next to her staring into the mirror, Aya had on a pair of shorts and a baby blue T-shirt.
"You ready?" Travis said from the doorway. Sakura whipped around to see a smirking Travis. 'Where have I seen a smirk like that before?' Sakura thought pink tingeing her cheeks. Travis must've been teasing her or something because for some reason she couldn't stop looking at him. You could see his well toned figure through his white shirt. Not to mention his already tanned skin. His mysterious eyes had changed colors again, where it used to be an icy blue it was a clear pale blue with a light blue rim, and at the present moment they were shining as he leaned casually against the doorway his arms crossed watching the two inside the room.
"Yup, let's be off," Aya said pulling a dazed Sakura out of the room.
Getting into Travis's red Jaguar they went along past new scenery for Sakura. They went passed beautiful parks that had blooming Sakura trees, which Sakura made a reminder to go sketch there soon. They passed by local food places, and buildings.
Parking the car, the three of them walked out, to be met by the great change in temperature, after being inside the air conditioned car. They could see the blue green ocean in front of them, casting a serene feel over them, the calming sounds of the waves breaking on the sandy floor, the laughter and presence of happy go lucky people, and upon reaching the beaches famed thing, the sand. The luscious powder white sand that felt soft and warm to the touch, made them all excited to go in the ocean right away. (A/n: heh, I'm explaining Hawaii's oceans so just deal for now )
After finding an area to set their stuff down, they began to take off there outer garb. Travis was first to be ready, for he only had his white t shirt to take off. Sakura forced herself to keep her eyes off of him. The second to be finished was Aya who was now in a light blue bikini, she was skinny and you could tell she loved to be fit. Sakura looked self cautious, she was trying to waste time and it wasn't working because now the twins were watching her, waiting for her to take off her clothing, so they could head in the water.
"What if I really am scrawny like those dumb kids say?" Sakura asked lamely looking at the twin's bewildered faces.
"Kura listen to yourself," Travis said using his hands to emphasize his words.
"Sakura you aren't scrawny, and you're more beautiful then any of those girls at those schools, they are just jealous of you, and the guys are just idiots if they don't recognize it, and when they do -because they probably will-they'll be all after you...right Travis?" Aya said after noticing a quick change in Travis's attitude, after what Sakura mentioned.
Travis's mind reeled on about so many different things, about whether they would except Sakura as someone, which he knew they would, or if they would berate her, though he knew the answer he couldn't help but think something could in fact happen to her, the girls at the school where ruthless to people, and if they don't like the fact that she's better then them they might do something stupid. And Sakura is so innocent and naïve the guys will try to take advantage of her especially since she was gorgeous, and very easy to get along with, with an impeccable personality. "Yes of course"
"Okay then!" Sakura said brightly, beginning to strip of her outer clothing, unknown that Travis was watching, pink tingeing his face.
Racing to the oceans shore, they dived into the water, shivering at the waters icy bite. They waded out further, splashing each other with the salty water, and laughing as they did so. They looked like three 6 year olds playing without a care in the world.
"Sooo, you wanna race to the buoy and back?" Travis said a smug look plastered among his features. 'Heh lets race so I can win.' He thought confidently, as the two agreed willingly.
"Okay, you ready to lose?" Aya chimed just as confident 'you wont beat me this time Travis, you won only because you have longer arms then me, but not to worry I'll beat you this time.'
"On your marks?" Travis said positioning himself in between Aya and Sakura.
"Get set??" Aya said, while they positioned themselves to dive in.
"GO!!!" Sakura yelled shooting through the water, before the two even began to dive, she was under the water, and was dodging everyone with such precision not even they noticed she was there.
On the other hand, Aya and Travis thought they were in the lead, but yet at an even pace, swimming a good distance behind Sakura.
Sakura passed the buoy and straight more; she had earlier come up for air and went back under, to swim faster, to make up for the lost time. Yet she had no idea that she was passed the buoy and heading to deep water.
She was almost out of breath when she went colliding into someone coming by at a fast speed from her side. The persons arms ran into her side making her wince and inhale water; she began to panic not feeling the sand beneath her. Minutes passed She couldn't breathe and she knew time was running out for her as she couldn't find her way up.
She knew it was gonna be over in seconds, and she used those final seconds to go in a direction, that would save her life or end it for sure.....
((Well that's the end of the chapter. Nah I'm just joking, I don't want to end it here, I'm into the chapter to much, and plus i promised to make it longer ))
"Where is Sakura Aya?" Travis asked a bit worried, it has been minutes since they reached the buoy, and they both knew Sakura wasn't that slow.
"I don't know Travis, where do you think she could be??" Aya asked just as worried. They began there search back up to shore, not knowing there friend was out meters from the same buoy they were resting at, drowning, as her life was in a turn for its worst.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A man broke the surface of the water, he had hit someone but he didn't know who, and the person he hit didn't reach surface yet. After minutes passed of waiting to apologize for running into the person he began to panic. No one was around him so that meant that the person either continued swimming or is under him right now. The water was at least 20 plus feet deep so he hoped for the first. But he did hit the person head on, and there was no currents that would help the person move fast enough, to get away from the general area. He also knew that they collied hard, and it tok him a while to get up as well
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sakura didn't think this was how her life as going to end, especially since it was someone who hit her. Where were the life guards at a time like this? This place really must have been unlucky, being teased and now almost dieing great just great.
She hoped that she was going the right way, and she prayed that it was. Her prayers must have been answered because she hit the surface as a waved crashed onto her. When the waves dispersed into the oceans surface, she inhaled the air as if it was her only life line, which at the time was. She caught her boundaries, only in time to be pounded by another wave.
She wiped her face, still breathing heavily, and looked to see the person who had hit her. Her eyes widened but she covered it quickly. Though he looked different when his hair was wet and he had a face held with anticipation and worry, it was in fact the boy she had hit in the head with the door, at the school. And to further answer her assumptions, a small bruise was above the eye in which the door hit with full force.
She slowly began to grow angry. 'What if he saw me, and knew it was me, and ran into me just to get me back for hitting him!?'
But he didn't recognize her as the girl, in fact he recognized her as a model worthy girl, but thought nothing more of it.
Her mind rid of the thought as she heard Travis and Aya yell for her and swim to her. She smiled and waved.
The boy saw her, and she smiled beautifully and waved to two people swimming her way. He looked and saw them to be two popular kids from his school. 'Does this girl go to my school and I never noticed?'
She swam to them, and they both tackled her drowning her once more, and they began to trek back up to shore, leaving behind the boy who had helped in near drowning her. And just like that she was gone. He shrugged and continued swimming, 'I guess, she's okay'
"Why did you swim out so far?" Travis asked softly after they reached water that went mid waist.
"I didn't know, I just swam out, sorry you guys," Sakura said sheepishly.
"As long as you're okay," Aya replied happily. "Soooooo...what should we do now?"
"Hmmm....how about we build a sand castle?" Sakura suggested child like.
"Sand castles? Hmm....sure why not?"
It was near sunset when they began to drive home, they had eaten and dried off completely.
They exchanged goodbyes at the driveway of Sakura's house.
"Alrighty then, Bye you guys thanks for the beach it was fun," Sakura said hopping out of the car. 'Even though I almost drowned, but I guess they don't need to know'
"Yeah okay, we'll see you at school then?" Travis said with a sorta question feel, he and Aya both knew that her first day was rough, and she probably still didn't want to go to school, "well whatever the case, you know you'll see us around."
Sakura sat in bed thinking. If she still didn't want to go to school for her second day, that meant she was weak right? 'I honestly don't care what they think so why would I care if I didn't go to school?....then it'll be like me just giving up on life here, and not even trying to live here' She pondered this thought for a long while, determining if they would think more or less about her coming to school the next day, or if they would even care at all.
She was knocked out of her thoughts by a message popping up on her computer screen. She got up from her spot and walked over to it. The message was from Meiling relaying 'Hiya Sakura, hows it going? Oh yeah, Tomoyo is over here'
Sakura typed back a message saying she was fine.
Ruby65: Oh you're here! Hi
Cherryblossom: yeah, so what's up?
Ruby65: Oh just hanging with Tomoyo, and chatting with my cousin
Cherryblossom: your cousin?
Ruby65: Yeah he's cool, he lives in Japan too. (Tomoyo: Yea, they were best friends for ever! There crazy when there together)
A/n: I'm not going to make Meiling and Syaoran once engaged okay??? I'm making there friendship kinda like my bestfriend and her cousin—look manda there based on you and Ry
Cherryblossom: Wait, how long have you known each other? You and Tomoyo?
Ruby65: Oh, only 2 years but Li came over for a week before, and me and him decided to invite her over, Cuz the week he came over she was supposed to come over, so we both felt bad.
Cherryblossom: Ohh, okay I see now.
(A/n: I have to make Syaoran on the computer, be Li, and plus ill make it have more sense, because Meiling and Tomoyo are in Cali they can use his English name, even though they still got there jap. Names. Oh well ima leave it like that or they will find out there true identities . )
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Syaoran leaned back in his chair as he read the long string of instant messages Meiling and Tomoyo were sending to him. They were nonsense and jumbled, but he had to admit it was very humorous.
They had just finished talking about rhymes and now began to make there own rhymes.
After about 9 minutes of continuous instant messages, they started telling him about their really cool friend named Sakura. 'Sakura huh?'
Ruby65: Yeah shes really cool, and shes a great artist!
He leaned back up to the computer desk, and typed back
Wolfboy: wow, amazing, reminds me of you two.
Ruby65: I know that's what we thought too. You wanna talk to her?
Wolfboy: Err...I dunno, its getting late and unlike you we don't have a holiday.
Join my chat room? Sent by Ruby65. Syaoran sighed. There is no hope to this, they wont listen to me. 'Oh well'
Ruby65: okay, hello all
Cherryblossom: er...
Wolfboy: ...
Ruby65: Li meet Sakura, Sakura this is my cousin Li
Cherryblossom: hi
Wolfboy: hey
So this is the girl that they think is like them?? Doubt it.
He soon found that Tomoyo and Meiling were going to make him swallow his own thoughts.
Ruby65: Sooo, tell us about that one time you and your friend decided to go to your hot tub and jump in your icy cold pool, in the winter. (A/n: sorry nikki, this actually happened to me and manda)
Syaoran sweat dropped and shook his head in amusement, 'Where does Mei meet her friends???' he thought wildly
Cherryblossom: oh yeah, that was fun, except for afterwards when we almost got locked out of my house, and then got sick for the next days causing me to miss the one chance I had a solo/duet....but it was worth it all!
Ruby65: lol
Syaoran laughed out loud, she isn't serious right?? He typed a reply and laughed at her answer.
Wolfboy: oh yeah, near freezing, and getting sick is so much fun, isn't it?
Cherryblossom: yeah! Its like, the greatest thing in the world! In fact I did it a week after with my other friend (a/n: I actually did do this twice, and it was worth it, even though I missed my solo T-T)
Ruby65: lol sounds fun
Cherryblossom: well, I'm tired, I have school, gotta go byes
Ruby65: bye bye ttyl
Cherryblossom: yup Cya
Cherryblossom has left the chat room.
Wolfboy: I'm gonna go too bye
Ruby65: awww, mkays night night
Syaoran got up from his computer desk, and walked over to his bed. He couldn't help but think something was off, with what The Sakura girl said, since when did she have school, during a holiday? Unless of course she didn't live near them.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here ends Chapter 3. Well Sakura almost dies, Syaoran is the cause, her friends are clueless, Tomoyo and Meiling made another twist with meeting Sakura and Syaoran. eh, I know it isn't that good yet, but it will get better, I just have to get more into the plot, so don't kill me, and more importantly don't stop reading this story please
Byes!
(I lub all my friends! Don't forget me or else -)(Hi manda lub ya)
