Chapter 2

School, how lovely!

I hope you sensed the sarcasm.

I made my way up the stairs to Seoul High; and just like every other day, I heard snickers and gasps and little whispers about a girl named Kimoto Sakura.

I shot my head up and looked at a group of girls. They stopped their little talk and gasped.

"There she is. She thinks that just because her father donated a lot of money to this school she can wear what ever she wants." An all too familiar talk arose from behind me. I glared at the group of girls and boys behind me. They stopped dead in their tracks.

"So what if I wear what ever I want? God knows what you would be flashing if you were given the opportunity to wear whatever you want. I'm thanking God right now for having the whole school wear uniforms." The girls gave me a disgusting look. I grinned at them knowing how foolish they looked at the very moment. I turned around and entered the school.

The crowd grew quiet as I entered the hall way. They acted as if I was going to bite them. Sorry to disappoint you all but I'm no cannibal. I made my way to my locker. It was at the end of the hall, nice and quiet. I opened my locker and stuffed my unwanted text books into it. Having done so, I slammed my locker shut and headed for my class room. Luckily, it wasn't too far away from my locker. I was tired of everyone's long stares and little talks.

I grabbed a seat at the far right corner and sat my head down. Since the argument yesterday I have not talked to my dad. But why should I? Why should I talk to someone who was forcing me to do things like…like getting married! I wanted to vomit at the thought of marriage. I've watched as my parents marriage went from dead to even deader in a matter of 7 years; but two of those years I was too young to remember. I have not seen her every since I was 7 and I planned not to. What kind of mother walked out on their own child?

The ring of the bell interrupted my thoughts and signaled the start of class.

As everyone said hello to the teacher I continued sitting down and face flat on my desk

"Miss. Kim!" The teacher had slapped a ruler on my desk top. Without flinching I picked up my head and stared straight at her.

"Yes Ms.Yamasaki?" I asked in a monotone.

"I would appreciate it if you showed some respect towards me and stop wearing caps in the class." We had this talk almost every day. Why couldn't she just leave me alone? It's not like I was failing her class. In fact, I was passing her class with an A!!!

"Maybe instead of talking to me about showing respect and taking my cap off, why not talk to those who are failing the class?" I had just hit a nerve. I watched as her mouth opened and closed again forming a tight line.

"Get out into the hall way and put up your arms!" She stormed over to the front of the room. I got up from my seat and marched right out of the room, this was fine with me.

I sat on the floor and lend on the wall fixing my cap closer to my face, blocking my eyes. I think I should take just a little nap. With my arms crossed, that was just what I did.

It wasn't long until I opened my eyes to the signal of first hour ending. I stood up and entered the class room for the new teacher to come in. Pretty much, for the rest of the day I stayed in class, listened to the lectures with my eyes closed.

I thought time had freeze until the bell rung signaling class to end and for lunch. I made my way to the cafeteria hungry. Although I had eaten breakfast this morning, I was hungry all over again.

I got in line and searched for my wallet. I looked in my right back pocket, but it wasn't there. The same was with the left pocket and the front pockets! I thought I had put it in my jeans last night? But then where the hell was it?! I was too hungry to think carefully about what had happened last night. Not wondering if I had dropped it or not I got out of line and walked to my table. It's exclusively my table because I will always be the only one sitting at it.

I sat with my head down as my stomach grumbled nosily, but was not over heard by the level of sound in the cafeteria.

Where could my wallet be? I was getting hungrier as the seconds went by. I guess I was going to go through the day with an empty stomach...

It took forever until I actually exit the school. School had ended and I couldn't wait 'till I got home. My stomach rumbled at the thought of food. Rice, sushi, meat! Oh my god my mouth was filled with so much saliva.

"There's Li Syaoron, what is he doing here?"

"Is it just me or does he look better every time I see him?"

"Where's Li Syaoron, where?"

Who the hell were these people talking about? Who was Li Syaoron? He was sounding even more popular than me, but for now I could careless. The only thing that was still on my mind was home...and food.

I went pass the gates and was about to turn before...

"Kimoto Sakura!"

I looked around to see who the hell was calling out my name. I turned around trying to figure out who had just yelled out my name. But the only thing I saw was some guy jogging up to me. Who the hell was he? As he got closer, it hit me who he was.

He was that pervert!!!

Involuntarily, I took a back step.

Dissolving my shock, I crossed my arms and waited for the slow poke to finish running up to me.

"What do you want?" I asked without wasting time.

Instead of answering, he walked up closer to me. Too close and there was that same stupid grin on his face. At the same time I heard little gasps and whispers.

Showing him that I was not scared, I didn't dare take a step back again, instead, I raised my chin higher to look him in his brown eyes.

Slowly, an object that looked very familiar came into view. It was brown, square shaped, had the word Sakura on it...it was my wallet! How did he get a hold of it!!!

As quickly as I could, I brought up my hands to snatch it away. He was too quick and held it up, out of my reach. Why did I have to be so short!!! If I wasn't so short I would of have gotten it even if it was that high!

"Give it back to me." At this moment I wished my glare was so strong that it turned his face into ashes.

"Give what back?" He played.

"That!" I pointed to the brown wallet he still held in the air.

"What? This?" He brought my wallet lower and I tried to snatch it. I missed, again. "I found this. I don't think this is yours."

"Yes it is."

This naive little person decided to open my wallet and take out my ID card.

"Looks like this wallet belongs to a person named Kimoto Sakura? Are you really her?"

"YES!!!" I sounded really desperate.

"Then I guess this doesn't belong to you."

"Don't be stupid."

"You're right. Don't be stupid."

There was no sense in talking with this dumbo.

"Fine, you want it, keep it!" I yelled into his face hoping big spit balls also flew onto his face. I turned on my heels and begin walking away.

It didn't seem like two steps before I was turned around and was headed towards the other direction.

"Let go of me!!!" He was practically dragging me!!! His grip on my right wrist was as strong as last time. I will not let him win this time!!!

The pervert stopped walking and turned to me.

"I doubt it that you ate today." He spoke.

"Yes I did!"

"Then what did you eat?"

"What I eat is none of your concern!!!" I yelled struggling against his hold and trying to undo it, but at the same time a loud grumbling sound went off.

His eyes shined with…'I thought so,' then he spoke. "Hey, I found your wallet, at least be happy about that and thank me with a late lunch and early dinner."

"There's nothing to be happy about when I'm being sexually harassed." I spoke still shaking his hand off my wrist.

"I don't remember harassing you, so to speak sexually."

"Well...you did and still are!!!" I gave up all hopes of trying to get his grip off of me.

"Are you talking about yesterday? So you're still thinking about it?"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did he think he was so...good?!

"Come on, let's get something to eat, I'm starving. I could have used your money, but since I was too nice I decided to wait for you so we both can eat together."

"How sweet." I gave him an ugly, fake smile.

"I know. Nice to know you think so too." He didn't take it as an insult, but instead a compliment! That smile appeared again.

He dragged me with him without me fighting him. There was no use in trying to. Chances are even if I fought back I would end up eating with him too.

"That'll be $8.50." The women said as she handed us the food the pervert ordered.

He took out my wallet, not HIS, and gave the woman my ten dollars; which I was saving for lunch!!!

"What are you doing?!" I whispered harshly at him.

"I'm paying for the food." He whispered back, but not as harsh.

"With my money!" I wasn't whispering anymore.

"Yes." It was still a whisper.

I glared at him. This time wishing my glare was enough to turn his whole self into ash and explode like fireworks. That would have been very satisfying.

"Thank you." The pervert said and took the food. We sat at a table. I sat across from him.

"This looks so good!" He said as it was lay out on the table. "Dig in!!!"

"Wait!!!" I yelled, too loud because everyone stopped.

"What?" The pervert was getting ready to stick a piece of sushi into his mouth.

"You bought the food with my money right?" I asked.

"Yeah, your point is?" He looked confused.

"So, it's only fair that I eat all this food."

"But..."

"It's your fault for being stupid."

"I'm not stupid." He countered. Boy, this pervert was very childish.

I moved all the food closer to me and let him keep the sushi he had already touched.

"You can't do that to me!"

"It looks like I just did." I smirked at him.

I would give him a sample of each as I ate, but that was it. I'll give him credit though, for having good taste in food.

I watched him as he swallowed a big lump of nothing. I knew I was evil. But no one said I was nice either.

Soon enough I was done with ALL the food he had just ordered.

"Ready?" I asked after wiping my mouth with my shirt sleeve.

He didn't answer as he began walking off in the direction I was going to walk home.

"Why are you following me?" He asked. This time he was acting like me. What happened to the all mighty Xiao Long from yesterday?

"Because you still have my wallet."

"And?"

"I'm a stalker."

"Be my guest."

That wasn't what I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear a scream or have him pick up speed! I frowned and continued on the walk home. If he wasn't going to give me back my wallet, there really wasn't anything I could do. Since my ten dollars was all used up, I really had no need for it anymore. But I still need my ID!!! Sht!

We walked in silence and it wasn't long before I, well we, reached my home. I was surprised to know that he knew where I lived, but he turned into a different house. A house that was right next to mine.

"You live there?" I asked.

"So?" He sounded pissed. What, just because I didn't give him any food? If being a pervert was not enough, he was acting way too much like a kid, the total opposite of yesterday. How ironic. "Here." He threw me something and I caught it. "Don't tell me you live right next door!" He asked, sounding a bit worried.

"Actually, my dad lives there." He looked confused for a moment. "And since he lives there, I live there also." I wanted to laugh my head off as I looked at his face. He wasn't expecting that.

"Whatever." He said finally and walked towards his home. Shrugging, I walked towards my home.

I looked at my wallet that he had just given back. I opened it to see if he had put the change back. I was surprised at what I saw, a ten dollar bill. Now I kind of feel bad for him. Something I've never felt before, sorry for anyone. But at the same time, I couldn't help but let a little smile creep onto my face...

"How do you know Li Syaoron?" Some weird girl came and asked me the same question everyone here at school's been asking since the day I sat foot in the school.

"What? Shut up and go away." I rolled my eyes and continued starring out the window.

"Sheesh, you aren't even a bit nice. Why does he like you?" the same girl answered and then rolled her eyes and then, walked away.

I have no idea who this Li Syaoron guy is and why has everyone been asking me the same stupid question? Why haven't I heard of this guy? If I hear the name Li Syaoron again, I'm going to disconnect their head from their body!

"Hey, why is everyone talking about Li Syaoron?"

I was pissed now. In fact, I was starting to hate that name.

"Argh!!!" I turned my head up to see who the stupid dumb ass was that spoke his name.

Lucky me, it was the PERVERT!!!

"You...again?" Hey, he may have paid me my ten dollars back, technically though he didn't even use it, but that does not mean that I want to see him!

"I swear, I'll ripe your head off of your body too if you don't shut up about Li Syaoron."

"Okay." He shrugged and sat down next to me.

I gave him a weird look. Why sit there? And wait?!

"You don't go here!!!" I yelled and jumped out of my seat.

"Apparently I do." He pulled something from behind his pants. It was his wallet. I watched as he opened it and showed me an ID that said Sunset High School (I don't know any school in Japan, so I made it up, sorry!!! NO Flame please!).

He must have seemed something because his stupid smile appeared.

"Why?" I asked, almost crying and sat back down in my seat, slamming my head on the desk.

"Because I think you're really cool." He answered is such an oh-so-nice way.

I looked up at him and glared at him. I still have not been able to burn him into ashes by my stares, but I think it's working a little bit. I see smoke coming out of his head. Or was I so mad that I was hallucinating?

"Ha, ha, ha, I wish you came here because I was beautiful." I snickered.

"Woo, don't go that far." He was really getting on my nerves. I wish he would just ignore me like yesterday. That'll be heaven right now.

"Hey Li Syaoron, come sit with me and Hannah." Supposedly the prettiest girl Kyoko, aka annoying little whiner, came and spoke to the pervert. Wait, but did she just say Li Syaoron?

"So you're Li Syaoron?" I asked before he could answer.

His eyes shifted from Ji Hyun to me.

"No, it's Xiao Long." He whispered loud enough for me to hear only.

"You really suck at lying." I answered.

"Are you and her friends?" Ji Hyun asked, looking a bit nervous.

"Hell..."

"Nope, I'm actually her fiancée."

"WHAT???"
