Can't We Just Get Along? Chapter two
"AAAAAA" I screamed. I was late for work. Again. Tomoyo laughed. "Sakura. Start setting you'r alarm to go off earlier. Or why don't you move it so you're not hitting snooze every morning?" She asked, still laughing. I just grunted and hurridly got dressed. As I was on my way out the door, guess who I ran into. You got it. Li. "Uhn." He grunted. "Watch where you're fucking going you clutz!" He yelled at me. I blushed. "I'm sorry." And I ran for the stairs. "You better be fucking sorry!" He yelled after me.
The streets were busy, so I was even more late. "Damnit! Why can I never be on time?" I asked myslef in my car. I dont be latet try to be late. It's a bad habit. "Damn traffic!" I yelled. Usually I have patience, but today, I don't know. I have just been wierd lately I guess. I finally arrived at work. My boss was not surprised to see me late. Instead of her usual lecture, she smiled. "Getting better, Kinomoto." And walked into her office. I worked 5 hours a day 4 days a week and made about $16 dollars an hour. It was pretty good, concidering what I do. I wont get into that though.
After work, I decided to go shopping. We needed food for the appartment. After shopping I went home. I was pretty tired. Then I saw him. He was walking into the appartment at the exact same time. "Umm..Sorry about this morning." I stammard. He just looked at me and walked away. Atleast he had the curtesey to hold the door for me. I was about to start walking up the stairs when he called me. "Why don't you take the damn elevator? It's easier than walking the damn stairs with stuff in you'r arms." I turned around. "I walk the stairs because I don't like elevators." He was about to say something when I snapped back. "Say what you want but I have a good reason as to why I don't." And with that said, I started walking.
I think I do have a reason as to why I don't like elevators. See, my mother died in an elevator. the cable broke and it dropped. She was the only one inside it. Ever since then, I have not gone inside an elevator.
I walked in the door and Tomoyo was on the phone. Probably with Eriol. They talked on the phone once a week. "I'm home." I announced my arrival. "Welcome home Sakura. Dinner is in the oven. Should be ready in half an hour." She turned her head to tell me. I nodded and she whent back to talking. I sat at the computer and decided to go to a chat room. I don't usually do this, but I was bored and wanted ot meet new people. When I got there People kept asking me what size my bra was and if I wanted to cyber and all so I left. Can't people go to a chat room without being harrassed?
There was another sappy christmas movie on the television, so I decided to watch it. Just like the night before, it was stupid. I watched it anyway because I was bored. When it finished I got up and walked into the living room where Tomoyo was still on the phone. "I'm going for a walk." I said. She didn't say anything so I just left.
I whent to the park. It was nice to walk around there at night. A couple minutes after entering the path to the park, I noticed a couple of guys following me. I didn't panick, I just kept going at a normal pace. I wasn't exactly scared until they got ahead of me and stoped. "Hey sweety. What's you'r name?" One of them asked me. I just ignored them and kept walking. "Hey, bitch! I'm talking to you." He shouted at me. I still kept on walking. They ran ahead of me and stoped me in my tracks. "When we try to talk to you, you don't walk away!" Someone else said. I didn't say anything.
One of them smacked me accross the face. It hurt, but I didn't crack. Another guy was about to hit me when someone from behind me yelled. "Leave her alone. You have no bussiness with her so get a move on!" The ran. I turned around to see who it was. It was Li. He walked up to me. I put my hair over my cheek so he wouldn't see the red mark. I was pretty sure it was bruising by then. Too late.
When he got up to me he moved my hair. He muttered something. "You aren't the smartest are you?" He asked. He touched my cheek. I flinched. It hurt to touch. "Stay still stupid!" He snapped. He kept poking my cheek. I don't know why though. He told me to come with him for a minute or 2 so I followed him. He brought me to his apartment. When we got there he told me to step inside for a minute. "I have something you can use for you'r cheek." He said, walking into the bathroom. "N-no. It's ok. I'll be fine." I said. He came back. And put some on my cheek. It was amazing how gentle he was. He handed me the cream. "Used it." He said. "Thanks for helping me back there." I said, getting up to leave. "Whatever." He said turnining away from me. I quickly left his appartment and whent nextdoor to mine.
