Chapter Two: Just a Girl in the City
The sun rose early, too early thank you very much, and poured into my room through the window.
I groaned and hid my head under the pillows. "No! No! No! No!"
This was summer vacation, wasn't it? What ever happened to sleeping in?
It didn't help that my blankets were white and hid the sun like, not at all. So, I groaned and got out of bed and walked over to the window, folding my arms across my chest, staring out at the harbor.
Yeah, our hotel was on a harbor.
Well, not on, but you know what I mean.
So I just stood there in the window in my boxers and tank-top, staring, amazed, out at Hong Kong.
Okay, so maybe it was a good idea to come here for the summer. I mean, it's gorgeous!
Too bad Tomoyo and Eriol couldn't be here with me.
I picked up my cell phone and quickly sent Tomoyo a text message.
CherryB: Hey T! HK is pretty! Miss U! Tex me bak. Luv ya hon! Talk l8er!
I'd find an internet café today, or tomorrow, and e-mail her. I mean, she had to know about the flight and the sights and…that boy.
He still confused me. Why was he in the hotel anyways? He was Chinese…maybe not from Hong Kong though.
Oh well.
But damn he was hot.
I was pulled from my thoughts when someone banged on my door.
"Wake up squirt! We're going out!" Touya said through the door.
I walked up to the door. "Sorry, I think you have the wrong room, there is no one here with that name."
"Sakura I know it's you." Touya growled. "Now get ready, we'll meet you in the lobby in half an hour."
"I'm sorry, there's no Sakura in here." I said with a smirk.
"Sakura." Touya snarled.
I rolled my eyes. "Fine! I'll be out in half an hour."
So I quickly hopped in the shower, got out, blow dried my hair so it fell in slight waves around my face, and slipped into a white zip-up t-shirt and pleated pink skirt that fell high on my thighs. I quickly grabbed my cell phone and purse from the table, only to find that I'd received a text message from Eriol.
EH: Yo Saku! Sup? E-mail me when U get the chance. E out!
I smirked and stuffed my phone back in my purse, I'd text him back later, or e-mail him.
I walked out of my room and closed the door, listening for the locking sound before I turned and head towards the elevator.
Do you know how slow elevators are? Yeah, slow. Like, unnecessarily slow.
At least, for me they were.
Sure enough, when the doors to the elevator opened, there was Touya and dad, standing waiting for me.
"About time squirt." Touya growled.
"Hey." I growled right back. "It took me twenty minuets! I'm early."
"For once." my dad laughed.
I shot him a look. "So, where are we going today?"
"To the market." dad smiled. "There's a lot of shops there with all sorts of gifts and stuff."
I have to admit this excited me. Shopping, yes! "Let's go then!" I grinned, grabbing Touya's arm, pulling him from the building.
"Slow down Sakura!" my dad laughed, walking after us. "The market's not going anywhere."
"You never know." Touya smirked, grabbing my arm and holding me back.
Damn him and his strength.
But, regardless of Touya's holding me back, we made it to the market in no time at all.
Wow. I thought it would be small. But no, it was huge.
Like, really huge.
There was shops everywhere. Booths with different color clothes, brilliant bracelets and jewelry, music pumping from speakers in a language I couldn't understand, and the smell of food wafting around me.
"Wow." I grinned, poking through a basket of bracelets. "These are beautiful!"
"Gonna get some for Tomoyo?" Touya asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. She'll love these."
I quickly picked out five bracelets; black, silver, dark blue, light blue and white, and paid for them.
"Dad." I said, turning to him. "I'm going to go over there," I pointed to a booth not too far away. "Okay?"
My dad nodded. "Sure. Just don't go too far."
I smirked. "Don't worry, if I get lost, I have your cell numbers."
And before he could answer I walked off into the crowds of people. I had thought that there would just be Chinese people here and maybe a bit of Japanese or Korean.
Man was I wrong.
There was French, English, Canadian, American, everything. It was amazing.
I got to the booth that I wanted and started to search through the different articles of clothing until I'd finally found a beautiful white strapless top with lavender flowers on the bust.
"How much?" I asked.
"Twenty." the cashier answered, not bothering to look up from his magazine.
I sighed and dug into my pure for the money and pain him, setting the top in a bag.
And then I bumped into someone.
God, how many people was I going to run into this summer?
Thank God it wasn't that guy though. I mean, I wasn't wearing my heavy shoes to hit him with.
"Sorry!" I said quickly, turning to the girl I'd run into. "So sorry I didn't see you there!"
"It's okay." she said. "No harm done."
She was a rather pretty girl with dark raven hair pulled back into two buns on the top of her head. She had brilliant ruby eyes that matched the red tank-top and skirt she was wearing.
"Sorry." I said again.
The girl smiled. "Hey, you're a tourist, aren't you?"
"Obvious?" I laughed.
She nodded. "Yeah. My name's Meilin. So, where are you from?"
"Oh, Tamoeda in Japan." I said. "I'm Sakura."
"Nice to meet you." Meilin smiled. "Tamoeda, I've heard of that place before. It's close to Tokyo, right?"
I nodded. Well, at least one of these Chinese people were nice…not like that boy from last night…
Suddenly I heard a buzzing sound coming from my purse.
"Sorry, hold on a second." I said, grabbing my phone.
I picked it up. "Hello?"
It was Tomoyo. "Hey Sakura!"
"Hey Tomoyo." I smiled. "What's up? Aren't you supposed to be with Eriol?"
"He's here." Tomoyo said. "But he's fighting with Ruby, again. I'm at his house."
"I bet." I smirked. "Hey, hold on a sec."
I turned to Meilin. "Here, talk to her for a second would you?"
"Um…sure." Meilin smiled faintly, taking my phone from me. "Hello?"
I turned back to the shop that I'd just bought the skirt from and set by purse on the shelf, digging through it. Finally, I found some more money.
Hey, I was hungry.
I turned back to Meilin, who was now chatting lively with Tomoyo.
"Eriol? Sounds hot." Meilin laughed. "So you and Sakura are best friends? Cool…uh huh…yeah…that's awesome!"
I laughed. "Well, glad to see that you two are getting along."
Meilin blushed slightly, "Bye Tomoyo." and handed me back my phone.
I smirked. "Hey Tomoyo. Listen, I've got to go now, okay? Touya's going to be looking for me."
"Okay Sakura." Tomoyo sighed. "Get lots of pictures! Including one of Meilin, and give her my e-mail, okay?"
I nodded. "Sure thing. Bye."
Then I hung up. "Sorry about that. I needed to grab some money."
"That's fine." Meilin smiled. "Your friend, Tomoyo, seems nice."
I nodded. "She is. She wants me to give you her e-mail."
"Oh, okay." Meilin said. "Do you have a pen?"
I nodded and dug around in my purse, handing Meilin a pen.
"Okay, what is it?" She asked.
"Tomoyo." I smiled. "Dai zero, zero at tamo high dot com."
"Thanks." Meilin smiled. "So, how long are you in Hong Kong?"
"All summer." I sighed. "Know any good places to go?"
"Yeah!" Meilin grinned. "Give me your cell number, we can go out tonight, I can bring friends."
"Yes!" I sighed, grabbing her arm. "You are a savior! It's 555-6582."
"Thanks." Meilin smiled. "Well I'd better be going. My cousin, Syaoran, will be waiting for me."
I smiled and nodded. "Great, talk to you later okay?"
"Yeah, I'll call you." Meilin smiled, disappearing into the crowds.
Yes! Now I had something to do tonight! And dad said I wouldn't be able to ditch in Hong Kong.
I can ditch anywhere.
I smirked and walked back through the crowds towards Touya and my dad.
"Ready to go?" Touya asked as I approached them. "We're going to go get some breakfast."
"Great!" I grinned. "No problem. And, uh dad?"
"Yes Sakura?"
"I just met someone." I said, somewhat sheepishly. "Her name is Meilin. Would you mind terribly if I went out tonight? Just for a while?"
"Sakura…it's our first day in Hong Kong." dad sighed. "I don't know."
"Please!" I begged. "Please dad! You know I'll die if I don't have contact with anyone else my age all summer! Please! You and Touya can do something father-son like."
Touya smirked. "Wow, she really wants to go."
My dad sighed. "Fine. But you're back by midnight, okay? Or I will come looking for you."
I grinned and nodded. "Thank you!"
Like he'd be able to find me in Hong Kong.
Okay! Hope you liked it! Review!
That chapter was a little...blah. The next one will be better I promise!
