Syaoran Li P.O.VIt was grey today. Which added extra on to the already bitter mood I was in.
Yamazaki was beside me, trying his best to soothe me with his words.
"What the hell was wrong with you there you asshole!? You know we could have talked it out!"
Not exactly soothing but…whatever.
I chose not to speak, because the vivid anger in my head continued to lash around like a trapped shark.
"Now he's probably gonna bring his guys on you and pick up the most unexpected moment to jump you. And do you why!? Because I told you!" Yamazaki was almost screaming to himself, "I told you not to mess with them! I told you that like how many times!"
I suddenly froze, then glared at him full force, "You told me he went to some school!! Why did you lie!?"
"I didn't! I said he dropped out last year!"
"No you didn't!" I snapped at him.
"I did!"
But I knew better to let Yamazaki get the leach of my anger, so I just strode past him, digging my hands deep into my jeans pocket.
The first person that dared to come in front of my face was Meiling. She was like always looking very stoned.
"Forget it Syaoran"
But that didn't get past me, "Look bitch! I just lost five thousand bucks! I can't forget it!" I screamed shoving past her.
That's right. Four thousand bucks.
"Well, it was your own fault to start dealing with some random people!" Meiling fired back at me, "I told you something like that would happen!"
"Haori hasn't come up with our supply for almost a month!"
"So?" Meiling frowned at me, "That doesn't mean he's packed out on us. He's probably having some trouble"
"Right. For a month?"
"Probably got caught" Meiling sat herself on the bench in the backfield.
Right again.
We were wagging.
But I wasn't in the moment to give a damn of anything I was doing.
I had just lost four thousand bucks…to some scatty son of a—
"Can't you get it back from them?" Meiling had chosen the time to interrupt my thoughts.
"No…the bastards decided to take a break from Japan" I sighed sitting beside her and letting her pat my shoulders.
"Do you think Aunty is gonna find out?"
"Hell yeah! The first she's gonna do is threaten to send me any money"
Meiling laughed at that, "But you're Mommy's boy. She wouldn't be able to live with that"
I turned to her, and grinned a little, "Actually, I don't think she'll be able to live with the fact that I'm spending all that money on drugs"
Meiling gave me a wry smile, then leaned her head against my shoulder while looking gat her nails, "You know Syaoran…I think you should quit. You just got out of jail last month"
"So?"
"I don't want you getting in anymore shit. Not that I care"
I gently slipped an arm across her shoulders. Sometimes I wished she had never decided to follow me.
"I know you don't"
"So…" she said after a few minutes, "What happened between you and Minas yesterday?"
I shrugged carelessly, "She wants a relationship"
"And you?"
I tore myself away from her as she asked that rhetorical question, "I don't. Not with her"
Meiling suddenly scowled at me angrily, "I don't get you Syaoran. You're practically sucking her face every time…and you say you don't want a relationship! Will you stop leading her on then?"
"I'm not!" I snapped back with all the dignity I had left, "I already told her before all this, that I don't want a relationship! It's not my fault that she decides to move in tighter"
"Then change girls!" Meiling threw her hands up in the air, "Do anything! But stop leading her on"
"I told you! I'm not!"
Meiling gave me one of those 'disgusted, ashamed, and frustrated at the same time' look, then sighed, knowing that it was impossible to win an argument with me, "You'll never understand will you?" she asked after a while.
I gave a pissed off look, "No. I won't" I replied sarcastically, "What the hell do you expect me to do. Tell her to go jam her mouth down someone else's?"
Meiling rolled her eyes as me, "Stop being such a bastard"
I couldn't help but put on a small smile, "Yeah well…you're not one of those good bitches either"
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
Sakura Kinomoto P.O.V
Believe it or not…a week had passed. And I still turned into a jelly every time I saw that guy.
School went fine…but there were times when I just had to smile at him.
Yes him…that druggie…that outcast…in conclusion the guy who's name I still hadn't found out.
It wasn't fair in a way.
I mean why should they be called as the outcasts and treated like dirt just because they were on heavy drugs, had police records, and always started fights.
They were students at our school too…and the fact that you couldn't even talk to them was a bit too far stretched.
What if you were stuck in a position with them where you had to talk to them?
I sighed all the way Touya had driven me back home after school.
I guess I was just trying to find a way to talk to that guy. There were other guys that I'd seen were hot…but this one…he just seemed to catch my attention every time he passed me by.
And I was getting so desperate, that today I almost said 'thank you for punching my locker the other day' to him in History class.
I never even saw him by his locker anymore…since it was next to mine. So you could usually see me delaying time after class bells rang, in a little hope to see him.
But no.
And there were times in class, when I would just tune out, and keep wondering if he's single or not? If he was a datable kind of guy or not?
What I also noticed was that while I'd kept on sighing about him, guys around me were keeping on trying there best to get me to notice them.
It was quite sweet actually.
Especially when this one guy, ordered me a bouquet of red roses, and a teddy bear on my desk in homeroom today.
When I thanked him today, I wished I hadn't. Because by lunch he was jumped by some guys, and then ended up going home with a broken nose.
Quite sad.
But things like these had never happened in Seijuu. I don't mean the giving presents and flowers part…but the part where guys jump the poor victim.
I'd tried finding out who the guys where, but Tomoyo had stopped me saying that this was what happened to new hot chicks.
"Who are those from?" Touya scowled at me from behind the wheel.
"Oh. Just this guy" I shrugged, then screamed, " Touya! Look at the ROAD!!"
And thankfully he was just in time to swerve before we crashed against a lonely sneering lamppost.
"Seriously Touya…who the heck gave you your driver's license?" I mumbled under my breath, as he kept on trying to peek a look at the sender's message, which was attached to the bouquet.
When we reached home, dad had to ask me the same question again, "Honey…nice flowers"
Well…that was his way of asking 'are you going out with guy without telling me?!'
"No daddy" I sighed, kicking Touya at the same time wiping the smug smile off, "I'm not going out with anyone"
"And Sakura?" he called out once again when I was half way down the stairs, "Your mom called today"
I froze as I took another step up, and my grips around the bouquet tightened, "For what?" I asked after a while.
"She…" my poor dad started as if trying to fit the phrase properly, "She was asking if you were free this weekend"
At that, I immediately turned around and stomped back down the stairs, "Isn't she getting married this weekend?"
Touya was leaning on the chair beside my dad, who was trying to hide his eyes, "She…wanted to know if you'd like to be her bride's maid?" he shrugged still not looking at me.
I could have screamed right there and then, but when I saw Touya send me a tight look, I shook my head, "No dad. I don't. And don't even bother calling her to tell her that" I said in a small whispered as I went back up the stairs angrily.
The nerve of that—bitch!
First she strands us in the middle of a holiday!
Then she breaks my dad's heart!
And now! She's expecting me to be her bride's maid!?
How low could a woman stoop God!?
Slamming my door, I threw myself on my bed, "I hope she rots right in the altar!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, "I hope her face disappears! I hope she goes to hell!!"
And that's what I did for the rest of the evening. Scream and swear.
The thought was unbearable. My beautiful, yet wicked mom marrying another man. My mom! Not Touya's, but my mom!
How could she do that to me?
Syaoran Li P.O.V
It was midnight.
And I was still smoking. Probably my tenth.
But the anger in my veins still hadn't gone to hell. My mom had called. Demanding to know why my bank account had suddenly lost weight.
Actually, that wasn't the only thing she was demanding. She was practically cursing me to come back to Hong Kong.
I had swiftly hung up on her at that.
How could she expect me to come back, when I was the one who had run away from home?
I gave a frustrated laugh, as I fell back against my window still.
Sure. Like I would go back.
I snorted, breathing out the smoke, and tapping the cigarette.
Like Meiling had asked me to, I had solved the problem with Minas. She had grudgingly agreed. I couldn't do anything more. It wasn't my fault that she had a crush on me.
Speaking of which…I couldn't ignore the stupid smiles that girl had been giving me.
Sakura Kinomoto.
And it had gone to such an extent, that it was getting really annoying. Hadn't she read the freakin' rules already?
People like her—girls like her—do not smile at me.
Girls like her do not walk into walls by just looking at me.
That's right. Walk into walls.
So it was either she had a crush on me or she wanted me to get jumped from her guys.
Meiling had pointed her to me today, saying that she was the new girl in her P.E class. The only girl who could beat her in 1800ms track. The only girl who had said 'hi' to her.
So it made me wonder.
Was she trying to join us or something?
Or was she just so knocked out in the head, that she could take a hint?
I tried to go with my second answer.
I couldn't imagine her as an outcast. Especially when she was already a magnet for so many guys.
Ahh…I threw my cigarette. Who cares about her anyways?
I had much more important things to think about…like explaining to my mother how my account had just went down four thousand bucks.
And I think I have the perfect lie for it.
Sakura Kinomoto P.O.VAfter letting out a bucketful of tears, I decided to let dad bring me dinner to bed. He had sat with me for a few minutes, while I stared at my hot soup and explained things. Like of why he and mom had separated.
I've heard that like about thousand times. So in the end I had to give dad the fake sweet look, and that was enough for him to leave.
Here's a little flashback.
After Touya's mom Nadeshiko Kinomoto had died, my dad had somehow fallen in love with another woman after a few years. They got married and—POOF—there I was!
Then my stupid, devilishly evil mom decided it was time to hop on to another man. And that was exactly what she did. She had walked out on us. Left me motherless on my sixth birthday.
She'd tried to talk to me a few times, but I'd ended up shoving all the swear words Touya had encouraged me to say in her face.
I didn't mind after that…not having a mother I mean. Dad, Touya and me were just a great big happy family. I can still remember the day I had made dad promise me that he wouldn't dare marry any other woman, and he had laughingly agreed.
I still think that laugh was just an act.
But today…had just brought back all those memories.
If I'd thought that I was the only one suffering, I was wrong, because somewhere deep inside, my dad still has a corner for my mom.
When I fell asleep, mom's 'about to be crashed wedding' wasn't the only thing I was dreaming about. That 'not yet named but hot anyways' guy was there too.
And while I tossed and turned, I wasn't surprised when I found myself face down on the carpet, imagining it was the guy I was on.
Touya had unfortunately dragged me up, before I could even murmur his name.
"You were kissing the carpet!" By breakfast, I think the whole neighbourhood had heard Touya's evil laugh. And if it weren't for dad I would have probably nailed him on the wall, with a photo frame hanging by his nose.
And speaking of walls…I rubbed my forehead. I had stupidly walked into the wall yesterday.
And oh yes. Blame it on the 'not yet name but hot anyways' guy!
In school, I walked past a room, where—three guys had hanged up another guy's bag and were cracking up evilly—and straight to where I always met Tomoyo and Rika.
They were both laughing about something today, but the minute they caught sight of me, they sealed up.
"What?" I frowned.
"Nothing" Rika lied through her teeth.
"Right"
But Tomoyo blurted out everything very non-elegantly, "Van wants to ask you out!" and with that both she and Rika fell into crows of laughter.
I stood there shocked for a second, then shook my head, "Uh…um…I need to go find Eriol," I muttered under my breath, which immediately caught their attention.
"Why?" Tomoyo asked at once, composing herself.
I held the Chemistry book in my hands up, "He let me borrow his book" Then I walked away, not hearing what Tomoyo had mumbled after that.
Eriol apparently was the guy who was always the centre of attention. I saw him in a large group of guys and girls laughing our loud his friends, and cheering as a girl tipped over a guy, and kissed him soundly.
Hesitating suddenly to go to him, I turned around, my nose wrinkling.
But I had to give him the book…since he was in none other of my classes…and I didn't have Chemistry today.
Gathering up enough strength, I walked to the group, and I was instantly the girl they were all staring at.
I heard a low wolf whistle from someone behind me, but I had my eyes only on Eriol, who was gazing at me with a boyish grin.
"Hey Sakura" another guy flashed me a grin.
Ignoring him, I kept my eyes off Van who was looking at me as if I were a big juicy piece of chicken.
"Here" I held the book out to Eriol, "And thanks"
"Did you get everything you wanted from it?" he asked taking off his glasses and making me gulp.
"Yeah. I didn't get one of the experiments though"
"Nice!" another guy sneered, "She's making a move man"
I frowned at the guy, "What?"
"Sakura" Eriol caught my attention as the guy gave me an 'Easy girl. I was only kidding' look, "What are you doing this tomorrow?"
The question almost made me loose my balance, "What?" both Van and me flushed at the same time.
"We're going clubbing in Sora's" Eriol went on, ignoring the look from Van, "Thought you'd like to come…since you probably haven't seen clubs in Tomoeda I reckon"
I went a pink colour at that.
Man. That was near.
I thought he had asked me out.
"Um…sure"
Not being able to stand the penetrating looks from several other guys, I smiled weakly at him, "Gotta go. I'll see you around…or maybe tomorrow"
And with that I walked out of there hurriedly. I could hear evident cheers from behind me.
Ah! I could kill myself! Why had I agreed going clubbing?? With them?
I was in such despair, that I hadn't noticed the 'not yet named but hot anyways' guy frowning my way.
Maybe I could ask Rika and Tomoyo to come with me?
Yeah.
That would be good.
Asking dad if I could go was easy. But Touya? I had spent an entire hour after finishing dinner hearing his Scandalous Lecture, and by the time I got to bed, I was grinning.
I had my ways with Touya sometimes, and as I flung open my wardrobe Kero was by my feet almost begging for more dinner with his tongue hanging out and panting.
"You're growing too fat boy. And I'm tellin' you in this shape you won't find any girl. Now go fart on one of Touya's books or something" And with that I had him pushed out of my room.
Now all I needed to do was choose what I'd wear for tomorrow, which seemed to breeze by.
Because soon enough I was standing outside Sora's with Rika and Tomoyo by my side. Yup. That's how fast a day goes by. Especially Friday nights.
"Uh…guys…" I laughed nervously, as I spotted a couple of guys smoking by their cars, and a couple making out heftily, "Maybe this was a bad idea?"
"Hell no!" the two girls screamed as they dragged me in.
It wasn't long before Eriol was standing in front of me handing me a drink.
"I thought you'd never come" he smirked as he eyed me down, making me more self-conscious than usual.
I had on a strapless white top, and a blue skirt.
Taking a sip to soothe my frozen throat, I grinned weakly, "Couldn't miss it, could I?"
And before sending me a warning, he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the dance floor.
That's what I did all night.
Dance and rave. And it was a hell of it. With the disco lights, and the drunk music.
What I hadn't known was that the drink Eriol had handed me was alcohol, and that Tomoyo was glaring at me as fell against Eriol drunk, dancing all the while with him.
He had handed me down, and as I danced with a chain of guys, I grinned when Van held on to me.
I was so drunk that I had no idea of what I was doing. And just the moment when he was leaning down to kiss me, I thought I saw the 'not yet named but hot anyways' guy. So I tore away from Van's grasp, and pushed my way through the crowd, but when I reached towards the guy, he had a girl in his arms.
Pushing the girl away, I turned the guy around, then smiled dizzily, "Hey!"
Soft brown eyes looked down at me wearily, and I didn't loose a moment in falling against him, "Remember me?" I giggled.
He wasn't dressed in black this time, but in a blue shirt, and dark brown pants.
"No" I thought I heard the guy answer, but that didn't matter. As long as he was there.
"Sakura…" I could hear Van's voice from somewhere.
But with the music so loud, screams and laughter, I didn't not know what came over me, as I slumped in the guy's arms asleep in two seconds.
I knew it…I had known it all along…I shouldn't have come to this club at all. It just proved my obsession to the 'not yet named but hot anyways' guy.
But the last thing I could remember was someone peeling me of the guy's arms, and throwing me over their shoulders.
And guess who that guy was? Oh yes. None other than my stupid half brother, Touya who had decided to come take a look at how I was doing partying with my new friends.
I spent the whole of early Saturday morning with Touya's Scandalous Lecture Part 2. Let me put aside the part where he stood outside my bathroom door yelling, while I was erupting a volcano that equals puke into the toilet.
"Touya!" I screamed, "Will you at least let me die in peace!?"
"I told you not to go there didn't I? If I hadn't been there in time some guy would have probably come to pick you up instead of me! Who knows what he would have done with you!" he continued to babble while I continued to empty my stomach.
Ugh. I'd never felt worse since last summer…when this exact same thing happened to me.
Except last time I didn't have a watchdog on the other side of my bedroom door. Couldn't I at least party while my so-called mom was probably exchanging corny vows?
So I didn't let Touya get the best of me, and stayed locked in the bathroom until it was probably late in the after noon. Before I left, I took a shower, and got dressed. And the moment I opened the door, I could see my dad sitting with an almost patient look on his face.
Oh great.
Scene 2 Scandalous Lecture 2. Action!
But the action I'd expected came out all the wrong way.
Instead of taking up on the role of the 'mother + father' mode, he looked like he was almost gonna start bawling.
"Do you think she's probably in her honeymoon now?"
It didn't take me a second to run to my dad and hug him tight. We spent the hour crying. Well…I did. He just kept on jabbering about how fantastic it had felt when he had thought that he'd be spending his entire life with my mom since the day he had gotten married to her. It was sad actually. We never spoke about things like these usually.
In the end I ended up insulting my mom, and saying how lucky she was to have found him.
Hey! I may be a lovesick girl who doesn't even know her crush's name, but I do know how to handle moments such as these. After a few shredded tears here and there, we somehow ended up talking about last night.
"I thought you never touched alcohol sweetie"
Oh yes. Even in harsh topics he uses his nickname for me. And it was time for me to feel guilty; because last night wasn't the only time I had taken alcohol.
"I didn't know that every drink there had alcohol. And I was thirsty"
Okay. Part of this was right .I was thirsty. But it was Eriol who gave it to me…and I did not know it was alcohol.
"I just want you to be careful next time okay?" he gave me that 'I'm warning you' look and finally left.
I slept after that. Dad's anxiousness had gotten to me too.
So as I drifted off to meet my 'not yet named but hot anyways' guy, I couldn't help but wonder. Where would mom be spending her honeymoon?
Syaoran Li P.O.VI wiped my lips hastily against the back of my hand, and continued my way away from Minas.
"Chiharu told me you were seeing those girls from that private school" she called out to me.
I turned around at that, "Yeah. So?"
She swamped towards me in her dress, and looked at me with large almond eyes, "I thought you were seeing only me"
I scowled at her as she reached her arms around my neck, "Well, I'm not"
"I don't get you Syaoran. At times you seem so attracted to me. But times like now, it's like you're gonna meet of some other girl" she frowned decidedly.
I shook away her embrace, and held her hands in mine, "How many times do you want me to explain this to you dammit?" I hissed, beware of her, Monday morning attitude already.
She cocked her head gracefully, then leaned up to me, catching me in a slow kiss.
After a few seconds I broke apart, "I gotta go" I murmured as I got hold of myself, and turned around hastily.
"Where? To see off your other girls?" she asked in mock laughter.
I knew at that moment, I could probably pin her against the wall, and make her take back everything she said, but at that moment, I had to get away from there…from her.
"If that's what you wanna think. Then yeah" I walked off, "I'm gonna see my other girls off"
With that said I left her there steaming.
Sometimes, I enjoy the pain I put her through. It's the truth, I don't lead her on. She just comes onto me.
During lunch, I met up with Shiroi in the backfield once again. That's our territory. Y'know. The dock where the junkies hide out? Yup. Junkies that's what they call us.
Somehow I let him drag me to this teacher he owed notes to.
As we stalked down the crowded hallway, heads were turned in our direction. We kept on with our conversation, while some snickered along their lockers at us.
Bah! I didn't give a damn for these shits.
They were losers in my mirror, and I hated losing thoughts on them.
The teach was another piece of shit too. He kept on glaring at me through out the time Shiroi went explaining on the notes.
What could I do? I was known out. By teachers, wardens, and a few police officers here and there.
This old dude, was one of the guys who had asked for me to be suspended once. And nah. I hadn't forgiven him. Instead I'd set his desk to fire.
It wasn't very drastic, as he had complained it to be. Just papers in crisp cookies. And since I was on suspension his complains on me were lost. The principal had said that it was probably something else.
So while he shot daggers at me, I took my time in running a finger down his new desk, then I knocked on it making him jump a little.
"Hmm" I hid a grin, "Nice wood" I nodded at him approvingly.
In a few more seconds he was kicking us out.
"I know you did! You put it on fire! I know you did! You hooligan! You fire-setter! Students like you don't deserve to be put in a school! You gangster! You druggie!" And so it went on.
But as I walked to the door, my head turned back as I laughed along with Shiroi, I didn't notice the door swinging open, and smash straight in my face.
"Shit!" I fell back loosing my balance, holding tight to my nose.
Through the slits in fingers, I could see a girl hurriedly walk in, and almost scream.
"What were you thinking!? You stupid bitch!" I hollered at her, still holding my hands to my face.
The girl fell back a step, obviously taken back. I didn't know if it was because she had just slammed a door on a victim. Or that an outcast like me was cussing at her hard out.
"I…I…I'm so sorry! I didn't see you. Oh god. Are you hurt?" She neared me as she said that.
While I was busy nursing my face, I didn't notice Shiroi checking the girl out, but the moment her fingers touched my face, all hell in me broke loose.
And as I slapped her hands away furiously, I stopped short to look straight at the girl's wavering green hurt eyes.
It…it was that girl.
She seemed almost equally surprised to see me, because I could see the evident blush rising to her face.
"Oh…shit," she mumbled under her breath, suddenly looking very embarrassed.
"You…" I looked away quickly, then noticing Shiroi's hard on gaze on her. I scoffed, then walked off, brushing past her in process, with a whistling Shiroi closely behind me.
"Man oh man!" he kept on chuckling, "Syaoran, she talked to you!" his face was so bright with that smile that, it seemed as if the sun had let him borrow the hot look, "And she was god damn hot baby!"
I turned around to look at him steadily, still rubbing my forehead "She's a newbie"
"And a gorgeous one"
"She's out of your league"
The boy grinned at him, "I was talking about for you"
I rolled my eyes at him, and continued my way, sending a finger to a guy who decided to ask, when I'd come out of jail, "She's a freakin' ditz for crying out loud"
But my friend didn't sound so sure about that, "You're a mad man Syaoran. It's so obvious she has the hots for you!"
"So?"
"Whaddya mean so?" he asked cockily, "Dump the bitch"
"Minas?"
"Who else you asshole?"
I steadied my pace, while we took the route to the backfield, "That girl walks into walls"
He laughed out loud, "You must have gone blind then"
I gave him a blunt look, "I'm serious. She walked into the wall when she saw me. How pathetic is that?"
"That, my friend, just makes it clearer that she wants you" he went out, taking out a cigarette, and handing me one.
"Girls like her want every guy" I spat lighting my stick, and throwing it to Shiroi.
"Jeez. Aren't you tired of Minas yet? She's been hogging you for like the past year. And she's contagious"
"Hell yeah" I grinned, "But I have her on a leash"
Shiroi gave a wistful sigh, as he let out the smoke from his mouth, "Actually chicks like her end up chewing up the leash"
"Obsession" I told him, and he nodded smirking.
"But I gotta tell you…if you're not interested in her…don't say I didn't give you the chance"
"Lay off her toad. You know you can't go after chicks like her. If you get a hiding I'm not gonna be there to save your sorry ass," I reminded him.
"Shucks" he managed a sigh, "And here I was, dreaming what a good kisser she might be"
"Dream on then" I opened my mouth hand sighed the smoke.
"But man…she had guts to talk to you…in front of a teacher. Do you think he'll go and blab?"
I shrugged carelessly, "Don't know. Don't care"
"Do you think she'll loose her reputation if he'll blabber?"
"I told you man. Don't care"
Shiroi gave a little whistle, "But since she's already the girl on the pan, I think you'd better be ready for a punch here and there"
"I'm always ready. Have you heard of anything from the bastards?"
He gave me a lopsided smile, "The bastards at school or the ones who stole your money?"
"The ones who stole my money you dumass" I scowled at him.
"Well…this guy who stays with me said that they are still in Japan"
I frowned, "Yamazaki said that they left"
"Wrong information. They're still in Japan. And I reckon they're gonna be after you. You broke that guy's collar bone"
I shrugged, "The fool deserved it. But the next time I see them, I'm gonna dissemble their faces"
Shiroi laughed again, and I gave him a threatening look.
"What happened to those girls Chiharu set you up with?"
"They're full of poison candy, man. Too slow for me"
"Dude. You don't know how to handle girls like I do"
"Oh yeah" I rolled my eyes sarcastically, "That's why you got jumped for trying to get that airhead down"
"Rika wasn't an airhead. Pretty feisty though. The black eye was worth. They don't make airheads prom queens"
I shook my head at him, "I don't know why you mess with girls from here. You won't get them, and you know that. It's not like a girl will suddenly pop in front of you. Everyone here thinks we're shit, and we do to them. We don't cross boundaries no matter what, and everything stays good. Deal with that won't you?"
"Then why did that girl talk to you? She even touched you" Shiroi managed to bring the topic up again.
"She's run over in the head for all I care. Besides she's Eriol's girl"
"Eriol! As in Hiiragizawa?"
"Yeah"
"Honest to who?!"
"My dead body"
"Then why did she talk to you today?"
"I don't know!" I snapped at him, dropping the cigarette and flatting it with my shoes.
"Do you think she wants you to get a hiding from Eriol?"
"Would you quit talking about her?! I don't care about her Sakura. If she wants to lose her reputation, or wants Eriol to fight me then—,"
"Hey!" Shiroi suddenly grinned ear-to-ear, "You know her name! Are you going out with her, without telling me or something?"
I suddenly felt lost. Really. Why did I bother with nitpickers?
I wouldn't care less if she were Casanova, or some joy rider. I wouldn't care if she walked into a wall again and lost her brain in doing so? I wouldn't care if she even started stalking me!
I stopped for a second there. No. Stalking me wouldn't be good. If she wants to stay alive that is.
And besides…I don't mix up with bright, cheery girls with large, twinkling emerald eyes.
The trouble was…the more I started to avoid thinking of her, the more I did.
Not good. I hoped Minas would be wagging next period. She was probably the only one who'd help me get my mind off the girl.
