Chapter 2: I Hate You!
"That—that creep is actually your cousin!!!" Sakura yelled.
The three girls were in the washroom after Sakura took off to as soon
as she was introduced to Mei Ling's cousin.
"Sakura... you're overreacting." Mei Ling tried to calm her friend, but
Sakura might as well have smoke coming out from her nose. She was furious...
"Easy for you to say... You weren't the one who was bumped and insulted—and...
and besides..." Sakura cried, "He's your cousin. I could understand why
you're siding with him."
"CHOTTO!" Mei Ling protested, "You're being unfair! I'm not siding with
anyone, all I'm saying is your judging him on the basis of one meeting... it
wasn't even a meeting... And what's more, you're embarrassing me!"
"Embarrassing YOU?!!!"
Tomoyo watched helplessly as her two friends ranted on and on. It was
pointless really, but she must admit, Sakura was overreacting. She wasn't
usually like this, she was always so sweet-tempered and would not let a
minor thing like this ruin her composure.
That Syaoran must have done something REALLY terrible... Tomoyo thought.
"It won't do us any good if we will remain here and shout at each other,
ne?" Tomoyo said loudly, unable to take the raving of the two.
The two stopped and looked at each other. They were heaving like bulls as
fire shot through their eyes. Suddenly, Sakura straightened.
"I don't want to see that arrogant pig ever again, so I'm going home." She
declared, as she turned her backs on them and began to make her way out the
door.
"Matte, Saku ..."
"It's okay, Tomoyo. I'll just cool off for a little bit but I'll be fine by
tomorrow. I could say the same for you," She added, referring to Mei Ling.
Mei Ling didn't answer but instead, looked away.
Tomoyo sighed, "Alright, Saku-chan. But I'll call you later, ne?"
The girl just nodded and went out of the washroom.
"What the hell happened outside?" Eriol asked curiously.
Li snorted, "Nothing drastic. That girl just made a big deal out of it."
"C'mon... No girl would react like that... if what you did was 'nothing
drastic'."
"I told you, she was being melodramatic," Li replied coolly, "I think Mei
Ling still has those wrong judgment when it comes to friends."
"I think you are being unfair. Mei Ling seems to like her a lot, and I'm
sure Mei wouldn't let Sakura-san be close to her if she knew she was some
kind of melodramatic psycho." Eriol reasoned out.
Li's amber eyes narrowed, "Sakura-san?"
"Eh?'
"You called her Sakura-san."
Eriol blinked, "So? That's her name right?"
"A wild girl like that doesn't deserve to be called Sakura-san. She's too
childish and narrow. You would be insulting all other females out there if
you would refer to the girl as a Miss..." Li pointed out.
"Is that so?"
Both men froze as they looked at the source of the voice. There she was,
the subject of their conversation, all flushed and shaking, with her green
eyes sparking with electricity.
Eriol quickly stood up, "A-ano... Sakura-san..."
Sakura slowly advanced on the table, glaring at Li, but he just continued
on looking at her with a relaxed expression. They stayed like that for a
couple of seconds.
"Hey, Sakura... You might want to cool down a little bit." Li chuckled
infuriatingly, "I could practically see the smoke coming out from your
nose."
"Why you—!"
Eriol looked at both of them, feeling helpless. It was almost funny, this
was the same scene that happened a while ago in the washroom.
"Don't say my name as if we're friends! In fact, I don't want you to ever
say it again. Hear me?" Sakura huffed.
"A deaf man could've... Sakura. You were shouting like a banshee."
"How dare you! You are the most egotistical, stuck-up, conceited pig I have
ever known!!!!"
"Well, you haven't have known many people." Li responded tauntingly.
Sakura lost the battle, she knew that. And she also knew when to stop. So
she gathered herself and began to walk away.
"Sakura-san!" Eriol called.
"Don't call her back." Li told him.
"Why do you have to treat her like that? I know you are always cold to
women, but you promised Mei Ling you'll be especially nice to her friends."
"I hate women like that. So simple-minded, thinking they could go around
and shout at other people, I didn't even do anything to her! All I knew was
I just collided to her out side." Li defended himself.
"You could have said sorry."
Li's stare turned to steel and Eriol knew he said the wrong thing.
"I have never met a girl that would make me go after her and kneel just to
say I'm sorry... I already apologized because I bumped her... If she doesn't
get that, then that's her problem!" Li said hardly and left the table,
leaving his cousin by himself.
"That—that creep is actually your cousin!!!" Sakura yelled.
