NOT YOUR ORDINARY PIECE OF CRAP
Chapter 1: Fortune Told
A loud and eerie noise echoed inside room 3-B of Tomoeda High. The ear-pounding commotion was coming from the girls as they crowd over one of the seats. Each of them practically squealing their heads off.
Fifteen year old Sakura Kinomoto, glamorous with her shoulder length auburn hair and sparkling emerald eyes, enetered the room surprised as she was welcomed by one of those loud squeals the moment she opened the door.
She walked catiously towards her chair, eyeing the mumbling crowd.
"Hey, Sakura!" an excited yet mild voice greeted her as a girl with long, wavy, dark violet hair and amethyst eyes rushed over her.
"Good… morning… Tomoyo," Sakura greeted her back, amazed of how her best friend is acting.
"C'mon, you should try it!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she grabs Sakura's hand.
"Try what?" Sakura asked as she follows Tomoyo into the crowd.
"You'll see…" was all the reply she got.
When they reached the center where, what all the girls were hovering about is, a girl with thick, shoulder length, black hair with bangs just after her eyes, and smokey blue eyes smiled at them. She sat at the chair and another young girl, this time with coffee brown hair, braided, and auburn eyes, sat in front of her, red back playing cards set in a circle at the table in front of them.
"What is this?" Sakura asked, confused as she looks at the cards.
"It's a kind of fortune telling," the black haired girl replied, returning her attention to what she was doing. "Only, it's about love and those kind of things," she added.
"Then I don't want any part of it," Sakura reacted firmly as she starts to turn away.
"Just try it!" Tomoyo insisted, grabbing Sakura's hand and pulling her right back.
"You just gotta have a name… even a coded one," the girl explained to her.
"Then I don't have one," Sakura replied firmly as she tries to walk away again.
"I'm sure you do! C'mon you're next!" Tomoyo halted her again, pinning her to the chair this time.
"But!" Sakura tried to argue but was responded by one of Tomoyo's playful glare and had no other choice but to go through with the so called fortune telling. "Fine!" she gave in as she watches the black haired girl shuffle the cards. Tomoyo on the other hand grinned meaningfully.
"So, at last we meet face to face Kinomoto," the girl greeted, still suffling the cards. "Hi, I'm Mikado Aika… we're classmates but I wondered when we'll finally talk," she added kindly as she hands the cards to Sakura.
"I'm glad we could talk too Mikado, please call me Sakura," she replied as she takes the cards from her. "And… what exactly am I to do with this?" she asked as she gestures the cards to her.
"You can call me Aika," Aika replied at the first question. "As for those, you knock the letters of the guys' name in the cards," she explained the second one.
'A name…' Sakura thought racingly. Honestly, she wasn't the guy friendly type, so, she knows no names. "Even a coded one?" Sakura asked again as she watches Aika nod. 'How about…' she thought real hard. 'Okay… WOLF,' she decided, remembering the movie she had watch the night before. She knocked the name. 'W…O… L… F…' she spelled in thought each knock.
"Okay…" Aika said as she takes the cards back. She disrtibuted the cards in four. She made Sakura pick which group of cards and took the ones on the right of the following cards; Ace of Spades, Ace of Hearts, King of Spades and Queen of Hearts until all four of the groups were chosen. She then distributed it in three and did the same. Then in two and repeats the process. Afterwards, she flipped the remaining cards and arranged them in a circle, in the same sequence it appeared.
Sakura eyed the process, not excited of what it might tell her.
"I can't wait!" she heard Tomoyo squeal behind her which made her choke a giggle.
Others murmured sentences like "The man-avoiding Kinomoto… I wonder what will come out!" and "Finally!" with a squeal of excitement.
'They're excited while I'm not?… Oh boy…' Sakura thought tirely as she looks at the cards in front of her, arranged in the sequence; Ace of Hearts, 10 of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, Queen of Clovers, King of Diamonds, King of Spades, and Ace of Spades. All in a circle where the Ace of Hearts meets the Ace of Spades.
The others squeal at the sight. Sakura raised an eyebrow in confusion. 'Why are they sqealing?' she thought as she looks at her classmates behind her.
"My… this is the least number of cards I've encountered," Aika commented as she turns her attention from the cards to Sakura.
"Huh?" Sakura wondered outloud, still hearing the squeals behind her, especially from Tomoyo who was now has her eyes sparkling.
"You see…" Aika started. "The Ace of Hearts represents YOUR heart, the Ace of Spades represents the GUY's heart. The Queen of Hearts is you, while the King of Spades is the guy," she explained professionally.
"Then what's these other ones for?" Sakura asked, faking her curiousity. Is she?
"It plays a part in the explanation," Aika started. "You see, your hearts are close…" she explained as she points to the two aces, linked together. "But… you are hesitating since another card is between you and your heart," she added, pointing at the 10 of Hearts.
Sakura simply nodded.
"Now this…" she started, yet again, as she points at the Queen of Clovers and King of Diamonds. "They're friends of yours… and/or his that are bringing you two together," she explained.
'Huh?' she wondered secretly to herself.
"Oh! And he's sure of what he's feeling for you since his heart is next to him," Aika racingly add as Sakura stands up from the chair.
"T-Thanks…" Sakura manage to utter as she pushes the chair back after she stood up. 'I guess,' she added in thought.
"No problem… Sakura," Aika replied with a meaningful smile that Sakura didn't seem to notice. 'Things have been fortold… take it seriously Sakura… yours is no joke,' she noted in thought as she begins the next fortune telling.
"Who's the guy?" Tomoyo excitedly asked as soon as they left the swarm of people. "C'mon… tell me!" she practically squealed, her eyes having its signature sparkle.
"It's… uh… no one," she covered up her wonder, which unintentionally came to her after the fortune telling.
"C'mon Sakura! Tell me!" Tomoyo insisted.
Thankfully, the bell rang and Tomoyo had to drop the issue… for now.
"The bell… uh… you better go back to your seat," Sakura stated gratefully as she takes her own seat.
"Fine…" Tomoyo bumbed as all the others goes back to their respective ones as well.
'Good question…' Sakura noted to herself as the door squeaks open. 'Who is… THE WOLF?' she thought in confusion.
