This-So-Called-Bastard & This-So-Called-Loner

Chapter Three

TWO WEEKS AFTER

It was a cool winter morning.. Sakura walked towards the school yard as she took hold of her steck book and gazed at the people eyeing her as a strange creature.

"Hey, Sakura." Ayumi called behind her back and smiled as Sakura faced her and stopped her tracks.

"Who's your next class?" she asked as she lean towards Sakura's face and smiled widely. "Mrs. Howard.. " Sakura mumbled.

"Oh Mrs. Howard huh? She's really... um..wet. If you know what I mean." Ayumi ended with a laugh, making only Sakura confuse.

"Sakura I won't be able to hang with you afterschool. I have a project that's due next week and I'm going to the library to look stuff up.." she imformed only making Sakura nod

"And lunch I'm pretty busy.. sorry.." Ayumi apologed as Sakura waved her hand around near Ayumi's face as a sign that she understood.

The bell rang and before you know it and the students of the school crowed in and the two girl's rushed to find their classes.

Sakura was left alone to find her class as she kept her gaze on her feet she notice that some of the girls eyed her in a way that as if they wanted to tear her apart.

Walking around the corner of screaming girls Sakura unknowing crashed into a student.

"Watch where the fuck you going!" the guy cursed as he looked at the girl with blue eyes. "..I..ah." she opened her mouth but again nothing came out.

They guy stood up and cursed again "Damn it!". Nothing to say but only her mouth that hung opened made everyone laughed their head offs.

Feeling like sakura was crying she ran off.. only watched by the amber eyed guy that she bumped into.

No one saw the blue eyed nerd with big frame glasses and hair in a tight bun for the whole morning.

But when they saw her she was in her everday spot.. under the cherry tree behind the school's cafeteria eating her lunch.. peacefully and lonely.

She missed Ayumi.. Ayumi would talk to her, and she would.. she.. would.. just listen.. She felt useless.. in all different types of way..

"You." Sakura turned towards the voice as she notice a few girl's that where in her morning classes, their names: Kasumi Asayu, Kiki Azakuru, and Azuzu Kasaki aka Blonde Bitch Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3.

They walked towards her as their feet kicked the dirt and flew into Sakura's lunch.

"So your eatinf dirt for lunch? What else you use that isn't dirt besides your ugly face of yours?" Kasumi smirked as she kicked more dirt into Sakura's lunch.

Sakura satted her tray on the floor and took out her notebook and started drawing. "Kasu. She's ingoring us!" the one name Kiki whispered near Kasumi's ear.

Kasumi's smirk grew bigger as she leaned down towards sakura and snatched her notebook and started flipping threw the pages

"Nice drawings.. they look just like you." they snorted sarcastily.

Sakura kept her gaze on her hands that where now on her laps.

"I'm pretty sure that they'll be more prettier if they was wet!" Kasumi said once agian as one of her blonde friends handed her a water bottle and thurst the wet liqud so the notebook was completely wet.

"That's your warning. Stay away from my Boo-Boo." she said as she left the paper soaked in water and on the dirt and walked back.

She knew by now that people was watching her, and by poeple.. she knew it was that guy she bump into this morning, the guy that asked her if he knew her, the guy that that every girl wants.. the guy that .. that... (a/n: Sorry that's a secrect untill the whole stories reveales itself!)

Sakura picked up the wet notebook and sighed as if the sigh was much different from all the other sighs.. it was as if she was about the cry..

AFTER SCHOOL

4:00 (a/n: that's when I get out of school)

The school bell rang as it was the ending of today.. everybody ran off happliy but only left a Sakura Kinomoto.. Sighing again she walked out of the school and started heading home.

"Could you wait a mintue?" a voice that melted threw her heart answered behind her back.

She turned and a look she wish she would see.. she wish that his frown was a smile.. another sighed was released from her.

"Is it okay if I walk you home?" the guy asked but the only thing that Sakura couold ask in her mind was 'What was he doing here? Why do he what to talk he her?' she asked herself as she only nodded in response.

Walking side by side in silent they didn't reply.

"Look. I'm sorry.. about this morning.." he started "I didn't meant to hurt you. I just .. had a bad day.. I guess." he said as he scartched his head.

Sakura lift up her thumb and gently pushed his noise as in a sign as a 'it's okay or that's alright' sign.

Sakura smiled as she saw a small hint of redness in Syaoran's cheeks.

"By the way. The name's Syaoran." he said as he held out his right hand and Sakura did the same "Sakura." she said in a tiny voice as she again smiled making Syaoran blushed in a deeper red. "And again sorry about Kasumi.. my girlfriend." he stated making her heart drop an aisstant.

Sakura's gaze left his face as she looked down at her feet and stayed quiet "I know she's not that all nice.. and -- she threaten you didn't she?" he asked but only no response from Sakura.

This time, Syaoran was the one that sighed.. "Look I'm -" but he halted when Sakura pulled a thumb up on Syaoran's noze saying that it was alright.

It was probaly strange to him that she was acting this way.. to him..to everyone!

Walking side by side nearby a cherry tree the gust of wind blew by them and making the blossoms fall down into a dance.

Sakura smiled as she open a palm of her hand trying to catch the falling blossoms.

"Cherry blossoms.." she heard Syaoran mumbled behind her.

Syaoran quickly looked at the blue eyed girl and said "I have to go.. sorry but maybe I'll swing by later.." he said and took off.

Still holding the notebook in her left hand Sakura sighed, and continue to walk home leaving the falling cherry blossoms fall...

TBC...
