Chapter 11 Syoaron, the person who…

"So Sakura, how have you been doing these couple of days?" Tomoyo asked during our break time. Working at the restaurant was actually pretty easy now. I haven't been scowled at yet or yelled at, neither had Tomoyo.

"Good, how about you?" I answered and she smiled and it wasn't just any smile. It was that smiled that told you something was up with her. "What's up with you this time?" I rolled my eyes at her. "Don't think I don't remember that sly smile of yours."

"What? I don't know what you are talking about." I saw Tomoyo's cheeks beginning to turn red.

"Spit it."

"There's really nothing."

"Okay. Fine then." I turned around to walk back to the front.

"No wait Sakura! There is something." I knew she would fall for this trick again. I always got her when I did this. I turned my head at her looking cool and she laughed. "I saw this guy..."

"Another guy?" It wasn't like Tomoyo dated a lot of guys or anything; she was just attracted to a lot of guys.

"No it's not like that. He owns this really big company and he was here last week and then I saw him again this week on Monday, then I just saw him again yesterday!"

"So you think he likes you?"

"No baka, I was just going to tell you he was cute and nice that's all." Tomoyo laughed and walked out the door first. 'That baka! How could she have tricked me again! But I was the one who tricked her too.'

"Hey Sakura, can you get table number 7 for me? I have an urgent call." One of my coworker asked. I gave her a smile and nodded. "Thanks." She went into the back.

I took out my notepad and walked to table 7. I looked over to table 7 and it was Syoaron and there was also a… girl? I walked up closer to see if it was really a girl. It really was a girl and they seemed so happy together. I looked at the girl and she looked…well she looked beautiful! I can never compare to that! 'Aish, what am I thinking! Why would I even need to compare myself with her in the first place?' I put on my special fake happy smile that has fool a lot of people before and even still do and walked over to Syoaron's table.

They were in the middle of a really deep conversation it seemed, because there heads were really close to each other. But then Syoaron spotted me and smiled. The girl must have seen what Syoaron was looking at and turned around to see.

"Hey Sakura, I knew I would see you here today." Syoaron said still smiling, but that girl glared at me. 'Okay?'

"Hey Syoaron. I'll be your waitress today and are you both ready to order yet?" I smiled back too, but it wasn't the fake happy one, it was the real one.

"Oh yeah, I'll have the special for today." Syoaron answered and looked to the girl. "And you Yuki? What would you like?" I could tell the difference between how he spoke to me and the girl. The way he spoke to me was happy, just plain happy, but to the girl, it was happy and soft.

"I'll have the same thing too." She turned her gaze from me to Syoaron and smiled at him as she gave me her order.

I quickly wrote it down. "It would only be a few minutes, but what would you guys like to drink?"

"Just water." I nodded and left those two alone.

I didn't like that girl. She seemed so innocent at first, but the way she looked at me told me I wouldn't get alone with her. The way she glared at me told me she hated me the first time she saw me. But I just knew I had to cope with her since it seemed like Syoaron like her a lot.

"Here is your food. I guess your food was ready too quick and it didn't give me enough time to get the water for you."

"It's okay." Syoaron smiled and turned his gaze back to Yuki.

I came back a minute later with their drinks. I set Syoaron's drink on his side and turned to Yuki to set her drink next to her. I turned to walk.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you blind or something!" Before I even had the chance to walk away I tripped. I landed on her plate of food and caused her cup of water to pour on her. I was in a mess too. My blouse was stained with the food from the plate. I quickly stood up and grabbed the cloth behind my pocket and started whipping the water that poured on her dress.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" I said whipping her dress at the same time. I just wanted to cry.

"Give me that!" She yelled and violently grabbed the cloth I had.

"Miss. Yoshi, I am so sorry about our employee here!" My manager came and bowed several times in front of Yuki.

"Look at what she did! How can you ever hire such an ignorant person in this restaurant?" She screamed loud and harsh.

"It was an accident." I plead.

"Accident my ass! Are you just like those other kind of girls who likes Syoaron and would do anything just to get him away from me?" What the hell was she talking about? Me taking Syoaron away? Even if she gave me a billion bucks I wouldn't! I never even had thought of that before either!

"Yuki, stopped." Syoaron spoke, who was now next to Yuki.

"No! Look at what she did! She's just like all those other sluts!" Yuki raised her arm and I knew what she was going to do. I closed my eyes and prepared myself for her slap.

I counted…

1

…

…

…

2

…

…

3

4?

The slap never came. I slowly opened my eyes to see Syoaron holding onto Yuki's hand and she was now glaring at him with disbelief.

"Syoaron, what the hell!" She screamed.

"Leave Sakura out of this." Syoaron said softly, but it was the warning and soft kind. I was scared myself too.

"W…What?" Yuki wasn't sure if she heard him right or not.

"Leave Sakura alone. She didn't do anything wrong. She only tripped." Syoaron defended me again. Why was he defending me?

"Syoaron, why are you defending her?" Yuki asked and looked as shock as I did too.

"Because she's a very good friend of mine." He said that without even hesitating.

Syoaron, the person who ignored me at his old home; Syoaron, the person who had slapped me; Syoaron, the person who had seemed to not acknowledge my existence in his home; Syoaron, the person who was standing there now defending me, because…because we were friends. Syoaron, the person who is my friend.

"F…Friend? What do you mean friend?" Yuki was even shocker than before. I turned to look at Mr. Toroshi and his expression was the same thing too.

"Let's go." Syoaron started to the door. "Mr. Toroshi, don't fire Sakura. She didn't do anything wrong." With that he left the restaurant.

I turned to look at Yuki and she glared at me with evil eyes and an expression that said "It isn't over yet" and stormed out of the restaurant after Syoaron. I relax a little and looked around the restaurant. Everyone's eyes were on the scene that had just occurred.

Today was not my day at all.
