Chapter 3
New kid…
Sakura stared blankly out the car window. She was coming back to school today, although she was going to be pulled out later that afternoon to go to the doctor. Touya, her older brother drove quietly. It was weird that the two weren't bickering. 'I guess his trying to be nice…' she took a quick glance at her brother. He had black hair and brown eyes, a college student. Ever since her dad told him he had been silent around her. He was even more polite with her now…and that was just plain wrong! Usually, these two were like cats and dogs, always fighting. 'But I guess people change…' Sakura could see Touya take quick glances at her direction. She just sighed and turned to his direction. She knew what he was thinking.
"You can say it Touya…I don't mind."
"What do you mean?" he answered innocently. He kept his dark eyes on the road.
"You know what I mean Touya…I have cancer."
"We'll talk about it later, you're here."
Sakura glanced out the window and realized she was already at school. "Thanks Touya…" He just nodded in response. Before getting out she looked into her brother's eyes, trying to find anything. What she found was anxiety, he was worried about her. She just smiled before getting off. Touya drove away after giving one last fleeting glance at his sister. Sakura watched the car until it was out of sight. 'Thanks for caring' Sakura made her way to the school building. Students buzzed around, making their way to their respective classes and friends. She got to her class early as usual, when no one even bothered coming…yet. She was always the first to arrive, but when she was about to open the door she heard a faint sound, like someone was playing music from with in the classroom. 'Weird…usually no one's here at this time...' Opening the door slightly, careful not to make a sound, she looked in. Inside she saw a boy, with his back facing her, playing the guitar. Raising an eyebrow, she started to ponder on who this guy was. She hasn't seen him around here before. After a while, she decided he was new, obviously
"I'm going to find Tomoyo." She said turning, only to come face to face with a pair of amethyst eyes. Sakura stumbled back into the classroom in surprise, letting out a small scream.
"Welcome back Sakura! Uh…are you ok?" asked a worried Tomoyo. She had her long black hair in a high pony with a few stays framing hr doll like face. And when I say doll like I mean full lips, rosy cheeks, big bright amethyst eyes and proselyte skin.
"Yeah Tomoyo…other then nearly having a heart attack, I'm just fine…" she said playfully. 'Sorry Tomoyo…'
Tomoyo smiled widely at her friend. Sakura smiled back, hating the fact she wasn't telling her. 'Tomoyo doesn't have to know…not yet…' Sakura thought as she picked herself up with a hint of a blush on her cheeks, embarrassed greatly. Just then she realized the music stopped. Wise eyed, she slowly turned around. Golden Amber net Emerald green, Sakura felt a course of electricity flow in her body with the eye contact. She felt her heart beat speed up…that is until…
"What the heck do you want?"
Sakura's eyes darken as a frown formed on her face. The fact that she had leukemia was gone from her mind. "What did you say you…you…brat!" her voice rose as she spoke. Her hands curled up into fists at her side.
"I wasn't talking to you…monster." he said with a smile.
A pair of amused amber eyes stared back at her, as if daring her to say more. Sakura just glared back at him. He sat on one of the desks in the back of the classroom, with one his legs up. His guitar leaned on the table which he had been playing only a few moments ago. Sakura was about to say something when the bell indicating class was about to start rang loudly in the hall. Sakura said something under her breath as she made her way to her desk, which just happened to be in front of the brat, as she would put it. Tomoyo only smiled at her friend as this happened. 'Something interesting is about to happen…'
Students started to file into the classroom. People were still talking to each other, seeing that the teacher was late, exchanging to each other the latest gossip, or about the project in history due next week…
'Wait! What history project!' Sakura quickly got up, oblivious about the pair of eyes following her every move. She made her was to Tomoyo at the other side of the room. "Tomoyo, what project are they talking about?" Tomoyo looked up from the book she was reading.
"Oh, Mr. Yodashi assigned a project yesterday in partners." She said cheerfully.
"Oh…so what are we doing?" Sakura asked, expecting Tomoyo to have chosen her as her partner since she was absent.
"Well, you see Sakura…I'm kind of partnered with Rika on this…" Tomoyo said with a nervous smile.
"What! Who's my partner than?" Sakura was shocked that Tomoyo, her best friend, didn't pick her. 'I guess karma dose work fast.'
"Um…hehehe…you see…-" but before she could finish what she was going to say the teacher walked in. 'saved by the teacher!' she thought to herself as she smiled at Sakura.
"Ok class. Get back to your seats. Class is starting." Mr. Yodashi said as he placed his things on his desk. He looked disapprovingly at Sakura before anything. Sakura only responded by rolling her eyes. "Today you're going to discuss your project with your partners. You will choose a topic in chapter five of you book." He said as he took a seat. Students started to pair up with their partners. Sakura made her way to Mr. Yodashi.
"Um…sir, I don't have a partner."
"Ah… Miss Kinomoto, your partner will be our new Chinese student, Mr. Li." he said, not bothering to face her.
'I swear this teacher hates me!' she thought as she faced the brat, guessing that he was Li, seeing that he was the only new student here. "So Li, what are we going to do?" she said, trying to keep her voice leveled. She has taken a great hatred to this boy from the time he opened his mouth.
"Don't know and don't care." He said lazily he picked up his guitar and started to strum a few notes. Sakura flipped her book to chapter five and ran over the contents. "Fine Mr. Lazy. We're going to do our report about the history of China, since your from there anyway."
"Fine, be at your house after school."
"Wait! Who said anything about my house?"
"I'm not doing anything now and no one is allowed to come over at my house." he said plainly.
Sakura only rolled her eyes in irritation. 'Stupid brat…'
Her morning classes went by quickly but not quick enough. Some how that brat had all of her classes, and to top it all of, had gotten her in trouble in English class. Lunch soon arrived with Sakura sitting on one of the tables with her friends…although she hadn't spoken a word to Tomoyo since History.
"Look, I'm so sorry Sakura. Please talk to me now." Tomoyo wined after begging Sakura for the last half hour. Their other friends: Rika, Naoko, and Chiharu watched as the Tomoyo begged, trying to hold in their laughter.
"Fine…forgiven but not forgotten."
Tomoyo smiled widely at the friend and started to chomp down on her sandwich. Sakura only looked at her food. She seemed to have no appetite to eat, knowing that she had to visit Dr. Karuma that afternoon for her treatments. She heaved a huge sigh, trying to figure out what to say to the girls.
"Sakura are you ok?" asked Naoko. She pushed her glasses up her nose to keep them from sliding down any lower.
"Oh, I'm fine!" Sakura said as cheerfully as she could. "Listen girls-" she said getting their attention "- I won't be going to P.E. today."
"Why not?" asked Tomoyo, genuinely curious.
"Um…I have to go to the…uh…dentist today…" Sakura said, not being able to look her friends in the eye, hoping with all her might that they would buy it.
"Oh, ok Sakura-chan!" they all said in unison. Sakura smiled in relief, thinking they all bought it but at the same time feeling guilty. But Tomoyo had a feeling that there was something Sakura wasn't telling them. 'What are you hiding Sakura?'
True to her word, Sakura wasn't there during Physical Education class. She returned later that day during Math looking a little pale. 'What are you hiding Sakura?' Tomoyo thought as she looked at her friend worriedly.
