Hey guys! Thanks for all of your reviews. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy this chapter. But before that, I would like to clarify that my story is not completely based on Hana Yori Dango and Meteor Garden (Its Chinese counterpart). It's just loosely based. Most of the events here are mine. Some concepts, I borrowed from the show… That's it… Enjoy!

Chapter 3
The rest of the day went well for Anna. She met quite a number of people who were like her. Scholars and working students struggling to fit in the crowd. Some rich kids were nice. Some were not…
That afternoon…
Anna was on her way home when Tamao caught up with her…
"So, what happened to you?"
"Nothing much. Some bastard bothering me during first period."
"What's his name?"
"Hold on…It starts with a Y…Hmm…Wait…I remember now…It's Yoh Asakura…"
Tamao stopped dead in her tracks.
"A a Asakura Yoh!"
"Yeah. Why?"
"He's…he's…he's…"
"Say it Tamao!"
"He's the leader of the F4!"
"And just who is this so-called F4?"
"That's us of course! A male voice said from behind her
A group of four people strode in and stopped in front of Anna and Tamao.
"So we meet again Ms. Anna. I see you've heard of me and my friends. Allow me to introduce ourselves. " Yoh said.
"Oh joy" Anna answered
"From left to right. Tao Ren, from the Tao family. Ren's family owns one of the most successful business companies here in Japan.
Ren offered Anna and Tamao a rose… XD
Yoh grinned…
"Try not to get too caught up in his antics"
Anna rolled her eyes while Tamao blushed.
"Next, Horo Horo UsuiHis family owns a company that creates sports gears.
Horo grinned wickedly at Anna
What a weird name Anna thought
"Third, Manta Oyamada. Consistent dean's lister. His father owns the biggest electric company here in Japan."
Manta just nodded his head and returned to the book he was reading.
At least he studies
"Forgive him for that. It's his passion."
Anna just yawned…
"Getting bored? Lastly, I, Yoh Asakura. Heir of the Asakura group of companies."
Yoh bowed to Anna then to Tamao.
"There you go, the F4"
"I have a question…"
"What would that be, my fair lady?" Ren asked
"What on earth does F4 mean?"
"Flower four my dear…" Yoh said sweetly.
"Okay…Sorry to end this conversation gentlemen but we have to go…I don't want to have any association with any of the four of you. You're just a waste of time."
"What!" Horo said
"Excuse me?" Ren said annoyingly
Manta looked up from his book and looked at Anna with a puzzled expression
"Ms. Anna, surely, you don't mean that" Yoh said
"I meant what I said." Anna said defiantly
"I'm giving you the chance to take it back"
"No."
"NO?"
"NO. Honestly, you guys are a bunch of airheads who can't live without money. Your damn lives revolve around money. I bet you guys won't last half a day without your parent's credit cards. You guys should be called 'Piggy Four'"
And the crowd just stared at her…Ren and Horo Horo had looks of annoyance. Yoh, however, was trying to keep his cool but you could see the anger in his eyes.
"I'm giving you the chance to take it back" Yoh said again
"No. Why would I take back what I said?" Anna replied
"Because what you said was insulting"
"But it's true."
"Last chance to take it back"
"NO. And that's final. Come on, Tamao. We're going to be late for work."
"You'll be sorry…"
"I don't care"
"All right then…"
Now you've done it…Anna Kyouyama…Prepare yourself for a living hell
Yoh watched as Anna dragged Tamao away…
"I can't believe you did that, Anna!" Tamao shrieked as they waited for the train.
"Did what?"
"Be mean to the F4!"
"What's so wrong with that?"
"Don't you know what they do to people like you?"
"No. What do they do?"
"It's scary"
"Really now…" Anna said sarcastically
"Seriously Anna"
"Well, what do they do? Torment the student to death?"
"No."
"For the last time, Tamao, what do they do?"
"They give you a red tag."
"Like the one in football?"
"No… They post it in your locker for people to see."
"That's it?"
"It's a warning and a signal."
"What do you mean?"
"A warning to other people that if you stay loyal to the recipient of the red card, you'll suffer as well. Also it's a signal to others to make fun of you and ridicule you."
"So?"
"What do you mean so!"
"I don't care. As long as I survive until graduation, I don't care"
"But Anna…"
As Tamao was about to say something, the train arrived.
I hope nothing horrible happens to her
That's it! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. This will be my last one for the next few weeks because my classes will begin next week. (groans) I will be lucky if I can update in the next two or three weeks. Don't forget to review! Thanks so much!
Vash, hannah-asakura, YamiandAnzu4ever, pendulumxswing, crazy4padfoot: I've got more crazy ideas for this story running in my head...hehe
