Reflection
Chapter 8: I'm back
Note: Yay! I got l got over 35 reviews! Thank you for all of my reviewers; you all have helped a lot!
So here I am now, on the airplane. I really thought that this revenge was going to be dark, gloomy, and lonely. But now, that's completely changed. Kai helped me, he really did
.
"What's wrong?" Kai looked at me with concern. I was staring at the ground and I didn't smile.
"Kai…c-can y-you do m-me a favor?" I stuttered. "Anything to see that amazing smile of yours again." Kai gave me one of his oh-so-sexy grin of his.
"No, I mean a really big one." I said, realized that he probably wouldn't do this favor. "It's okay. We're friends remember?" Kai persuaded. I started to tell him slowly and nervously about why I went to America and all about Syaoran, Tomoyo, and all my other so-called friends.
After a while the words just started to slip out of my tongue, I was pouring out my life's story to him. But the thing I didn't understand was why. Why was I telling him all this? Why did I feel so safe with him? Why do I trust him?
Then I told him about my thoughts my thoughts, of revenge. I told him my plan; "I want to make him jealous. I want him to be jealous of me. Of course, there will be a lot of other tricks and plans in store for him and the others but this is the one I want you to help me with. I want you…to…pretend to be my…b-boyfriend."
"WHAT!!!" Kai cried in disbelief, "you want me to WHAT!!!" "I-I am sorry. N-never mind…" "N-no…it-it's okay. I-I just wasn't e-expecting for that…" Kai whispered in apology. "N-never mind." I turned around and faced the window; the place outside was all a light blue, fluffy white clouds encircled us, when I looked down, the land beneath us looked really small.
"I-I'll do it." Kai said, he gave me a slanting smile. "Really?" I looked at him, that was a really surprising answer, "thank you so much!" I was so grateful, I could cry. "It's nothing. We're friends, right?" Kai reassured me.
"Yes, forever." I hooked my pinky around his. Maybe we can be something more. What am I thinking! My mind is getting confused because of…Kai…why not Syaoran? Syaoran was always the one I loved…I can't be falling again…can I?
Finally we were at Japan. Once we finished getting our luggage and doing the stuff we needed to do, I immediately dragged Kai into a taxi with me to Tai Yang Hua Street.
After going to my apartment room I locked the door and landed on the couch in a heap. I was exhausted from the long plane ride; I really should get some rest. Nah. Not enough time, every second is precious now. I need to plan more on my revenge.
After enrolling myself into Syaoran's school and getting a job as a waitress, I was so tired I could fall asleep on the floor. Without brushing my teeth or changing I walked into my dark room and jumped on the bed almost falling asleep instantly.
Tomorrow I am going to see my ex friends and my ex boyfriend. It's going to be a long night. Nah.
I stepped of my car; I was here. Back in Tomeoda High School, back to where I lost the most important things in my life…and the place where I am going to have my…revenge.
I pushed open the double glass front doors of the school, just like I remembered them. I looked around; everything was the same except for some new changes in the classrooms nothing had changed. Maybe including Syaoran and the rest…
After my little visit, they might not be so same anymore…I smirked, the smirk I learned at Kodshi's place. Kodshi…I wonder what the gang was doing right now. I missed them a lot, all of them.
I started to walk up the stairs, the same stairs I walked up two years ago. I suddenly tripped on my tall boots but my firm grip on the railing kept me standing. I had chosen to wear tall black boots with a white tank top with a black leather jacket. To top it off I had slipped on a white mini skirt.
I was ready, ready to encounter with them. I stopped at my classroom door, room 206. I wrapped my fingers around the doorknob; my nails were painted a zebra pattern, black and white.
I turned the knob slowly and pushed the wooden door open, I stepped into the room and closed the door behind me. I received whispers and stares, what were they jabbering about? But the thing I wondered most about was where Syaoran was.
I couldn't see him anywhere, I had specifically enrolled into Syaoran's class, so where was he? I could see Tomoyo there, she seemed to gawk at me, wide-eyed, big surprise eh, Tomoyo? I couldn't tell if I was smirking or not, it was hard to prevent myself.
"Ahem." The teacher's loud voice boomed in the classroom, everything was suddenly quiet. "This is Kinomoto Sakura. She is a transfer student from the States, some of you might know her already." I bowed at them, but they still stared.
The teacher turned to me, "My name is Tataka Zumiki. You may call me Mr.Zumiki. Now Kinomoto, I know you haven't gotten a dress code yet but our school strictly forbids clothing that shows your stomach and mini skirts."
"Well now that I'm here that rule has never existed. Got it?" I snickered at Mr.Zumiki. Mr.Zumiki looked really surprised, he didn't say a word when I chose my desk by myself. I had thrown my bag on a desk near a window at the very back row; there were only two seats directly beside me, the one on the right and the one in front of me. To my delight they were both empty.
I sat on the desk and waited until all the stares stopped, which took a while. I sat through the boring class; fortunately the teacher never called on me for an answer, I nearly fell asleep. After a few more periods, it was finally lunchtime.
I stepped outside and breathed in some fresh air, I had packed a lunch of Sushi and a box of apple juice. I looked around for a place to sit; I spotted some benches with an empty seat with a bunch of girls.
I started to walk over and I was just about to sit down when the girls all ran away and seated themselves on another bench. I frowned, what was wrong with me?
Ignoring them, I picked up my chopsticks and started to munch on my sushi. I suddenly spotted a boy waving at me. Squinting my eyes to look better, I realized that it was Kai. Kai? What was he doing here? It's like he's stalking me, or something.
I gave him a small smile and motioned for him to sit beside me; after he sat down we started to talk about how school was so far and how we liked it. He told me he wasn't in class because he lost his way and had taken a while until a guard from his compound helped him find his way. But the weird thing was that he was in the same class as me! Strange…
Then a couple making out caught my eye, eww! Kissing in front of everybody? Don't they know the word embarrassment?
To my surprise, the boy making out turned around. I could now see his face. He had chocolate brown hair and deep amber-wait. This was sounding familiar…Syaoran? It…can't be…I guess he was still being a playboy.
I told Kai where Syaoran was, and then I told him my plan. Step one of Jealousy was about to begin…
Kai and I started to walk towards where Syaoran was, then, on purpose I brushed my shoulder against Syaoran's. He turned around immediately.
"Sakura?" Syaoran asked (the girl in his arms didn't look too pleased with the fact that he knew me.) "Do you know him?" Kai asked. I shook my head and gave Kai a peck on the cheek, "I have no idea who that jackass is, let's go Kai!" I started to drag Kai towards a cherry blossom tree. I could feel Syaoran's hot stare on my back as I walked.
I glanced back slightly, Syaoran was still staring at me, and he seemed more surprised than Tomoyo! I climbed up the cherry blossom tree we got to and asked Kai to join me. He accepted and we spent the rest of our lunch there, Syaoran didn't leave my mind.
I smiled slightly about the thought of revenge…I'll make you taste a bit of hell…
Note: Another chapter done! It took a little while longer than the other updates but this one is slightly longer than the other chapters! Please review!
Preview of next chapter:
I could see Shelby, Tomoyo, and a bunch of other girls whispering in a group and pointing at me constantly, "Just ignore them." Kai encouraged.
But I still took peeks at them from the corner of my eye. Then, to my surprise Syaoran popped out in front of Kai and I, "Sakura, we need to talk."
