Chapter Four
Sakura stared at the ceiling. It wasn't exactly a sight but she had to do with it. It's better than staring at Touya's face anyway.
Tomoyo still hasn't calmed down after hearing what those two jerks did to her and she didn't have the heart to tell Touya, he'd kill rip those two into shreds and then when the police finds out he will tell them...
"It's all her fault!"
Sakura sat up and sighed. Her life was getting ruined and those boys have continuously been flirting with her. She can't stand the glares she received from their fan club. Can't they just leave her in peace?
It had been so irritating; she had to spend her free time running away from those bitches.
She sighed again then lay back down. She's been really indecisive lately. She can't do anything!
Sakura growled then sat back up.
She growled again then pulled her hair.
"I'm so irritated!" she screamed.
She stopped when Touya peeked in the room.
"Shut up squirt! I'm trying to get ready for work but with that large vocal cord of yours, I can't concentrate!"
"GET OUT!" she yelled and threw a pillow at him. Her brother closed the door in time.
"Haha! Missed me!" he mocked outside.
Sakura screamed again. Tomorrow is a school day, Wednesday to be exact. There are still two more days before the weekend.
Sakura doubted she would survive. After all, those two cunning demons were her classmates. She regretted meeting them. She wished they haven't enrolled in her school and destroyed her life.
"I'm going!" Touya yelled downstairs.
"Whatever!" she yelled back.
The slamming of the door reached her room.
"Good riddance!" Sakura growled, hoping Touya heard her but it was highly possible, she was on the second floor and Touya's already out.
"I want to die right now!" she yelled before forcing herself to sleep.
The next day, Sakura woke up unusually early.
Touya blinked three times when he saw her cooking breakfast.
"I must be dreaming…" he muttered.
"To prove you wrong…" Sakura said sweetly as she jammed her foot on his foot.
Touya yelled in pain.
"That was for calling me a squirt yesterday and I just want to greet you a very happy morning today!" she said with full sweetness before going back to what she was doing.
"Humph…" Touya muttered but as soon as he settled down in a chair and started eating, he gobbled up the food and left nothing for poor Sakura.
Then he silently walked out, making sure she hadn't heard her. Then he closed the door slowly and broke to a run.
"Goodbye Sakura!" he yelled outside.
Sakura turned around to greet him goodbye as well but what she saw on the table made her change her mind.
Let's rephrase that, what she didn't see in the table made her change her mind.
"TOUYA! JUST WAIT, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Sakura walked to school with miserable look. She didn't get to eat breakfast because her 'great' brother ate it all up. It was still early so she wasn't panicking but besides that, nothing good seems to be happening to her.
Worse, she's about to see the faces of those people she detests the most. You-know-who and you-know-who… well you-know-why.
She sighed then quickened her pace. Maybe… just maybe if she went early, those guys would not chase her around. Well, they are often late.
Sakura's hopeless eyes filled with hope.
Let her be right!
She dashed towards her school, taking long strides every step. Some people who were passing by gave her strange looks but she didn't seem to notice.
She continued to run until she finally reached her school in fifteen minutes flat.
That's a new record! Sakura thought, completely proud of herself. She checked the school's clock.
Her face fell.
8:30.
She was completely late for first period!
She checked her watch. It read 7:30
"What?" she cried in disbelief. She shook her thoughts away and walked to class. She didn't bother running. She was late already anyway so why not enjoy the grounds before the teacher announces you late?
Better than getting laughed at by your classmates, ne?
Sakura smiled despite the fact she was in a whole lot of trouble. She turned around. If she missed class today and make up a convincing lie tomorrow, she won't get in trouble.
Right now, it seemed the most sensible thing to do rather than walking in a room, getting lectured, getting laughed at and getting detention.
It surely sounds a whole lot better!
She giggled slightly then began to quicken her pace. Today was her free day, according to herself that is, but who cares?
She's free from school for once!
She jumped high then giggled.
But the shadow of the terrifying being that every student fears stopped her. She squeaked then waved then gave a total idiotic grin.
"Hello Ms. Principal." She greeted.
Yeah it's weird... their principal's surname is Principal. Everyone thinks it's strange but convenient. At least it's one name less to memorize.
But everyone does agree that she's the most frightening person they have ever seen, even the teachers. It may be because of her always scowling face or her growling voice.
Whatever it was, they frightened the wits out of everyone in this school.
What was even more terrifying is the fact that their principal has memorized each and every student's name and of course, the teachers.
"Ms. Kinomoto."
Sakura winced when the principal called her name. How could one person become such a fearful sight?
"Y-Yes ma'am?" she squeaked.
"What are you doing in the halls young lady? Classes have long started. I knew you come late but this is absurd!"
Oh, and did I mention she knew each one of the persons in this school by heart, their personalities and such?
Sakura grinned.
"Well, um… you…um… you see, I woke up early… b-but then…. I discovered my watch was…um… how can I put this… um… it was an hour um... late so… um… I kinda… um…" Finally she stopped trying to give an excusable excuse.
"I'm sorry…" she grumbled.
Sakura waited for the principal to say something, yell at her and tell her to report for eight hours in detention after class.
But for a whole ten minutes, she didn't say anything. The silence was starting to get on Sakura's nerves.
Being laughed at by the class would be a million times better than this. Sakura thought grimly as she looked at her principal's straight face.
Those steely eyes made Sakura shiver. Goosebumps were running up and down her spine. And that wasn't exactly what she needed right now.
"Very well… I'll let you off the hook just this once but if you ever got late again…"
Sakura stared at the retreating form of her principal.
She cannot believe she just let her go.
What kind of twisted future is this?
Sakura pinched herself to make sure this isn't a dream.
She winced when she felt the pain but she smile a second after. She jumped high in the air. She can't believe how lucky she was! She survived the wrath of the evil principal!
How cool is that? She's a living legend!
"I can't wait to tell Tomoyo!" she exclaimed and hopped to class.
She decided to take a look first before coming in. Mr. Terada was standing in front, discussing about their coming camping trip.
That would've sound exciting… Sakura thought. If I was inside!
She opened the door fully. Several pairs of eyes stared at her.
Sakura cringed, she never liked this much attention.
Well, she had to show her brave face to all! After all, did she or did she not survive the principal? After that, Mr. Terada would be a piece of cake!
"Good Morning Mr. Terada! Good Morning my fellow classmates! Nice day… huh?"
She slowly made her was to her seat beside Tomoyo, smiling idiotically. She knew how stupid she looked.
"Kinomoto… you do know you're extremely late, don't you?" Mr. Terada asked.
"Such a beautiful day… with nice weather…" Sakura babbled on.
"Kinomoto…"
"And the birds… ah… their song sounds beautiful."
"That's nice but-"
"And you look good today too sensei!"
"What? Oh… you think so? I made an effort to comb- Kinomoto!"
"Yes teacher?" Sakura looked at him with an innocent look.
You could see most of the students were snickering. This wasn't an everyday scene. It was certified amusing.
"Never mind! I'll let you go for now!" Mr. Terada sighed.
Sakura beamed. Two faculties in a row! That doesn't happen everyday!
She smiled at Tomoyo who smiled back… with the eye of her camera.
"You looked so cute awhile ago Sakura, especially when you were putting on the innocent face… this shot would stand out in my Sakura collection." Tomoyo sighed dreamily.
Tomoyo… she never changed, that digital camera was still on her hand, Mr. Terada let her do what she wants, he couldn't stop her anyway, he tried once but ended up being tied with a strong rope and locked inside the janitor's closet.
It surely wasn't one of his best days, you can tell.
Behind her, Sakura could feel Syaoran's gaze burning behind her neck.
She doesn't know what he wants and doesn't want to find out.
How did he end up there anyway? That she did not know. But she did know one thing, that smirk on his face meant something.
Terada-sensei looked at Sakura sharply. She grinned at him.
"Okay, since Kinomoto is late I'll repeat everything over again." Mr. Terada said. Nobody grumbled, or hooted. Sakura thought it was strange. Did she miss something?
"Okay, our camping trip will be held in a mountain, obviously and we'll assign everyone into a group of five. And then we'll camp for five nights I mean YOU"LL camp for five nights and we'll see if you survive."
"We'll take those who can't stand it out."
Sakura looked at her teacher. Was he being serious?
"I hope we'll be in the same group Sakura…" Tomoyo whispered.
Sakura smiled at her best friend and nodded. She looked calm but inside she was saying several prayers and wishing she won't be in the same group with THEM!
Sakura wiggled in her seat. She closed her eyes and muttered a silent prayer. She hoped it reached God in time. She needed his blessings right now!
"Group one….
Rika Sasaki
Chiharu Mihara
Naoko Yanagisawa
Takashi Yamazaki
Rei Tachibana
Group two…
Tomoyo Daidouji
Sakura Kinomoto…"
Sakura and Tomoyo beamed then gave each other their all-out smiles.
"They will be joined by…
Syaoran Li
Eriol Hiiragizawa
…
Flor Takehome.
Group three…"
Sakura grumbled.
Well, she's with Tomoyo alright but she got joined by those FREAKS including the class' ultimate disgusting gil who though she was perfect but was actually not.
By the way, she was the blonde girl who accused her the day after the detention day…
This is going to be one heck of a camping trip!
