Meeting Belle

A girl with straight, long black hair was standing at the entrance of the mall.

"It's Belle" Lizzy said. We got closer. Her laugh was like hearing someone put a fork on the board and made ear hurting nose. Belle turned around and spotted Lizzy. Her smile appeared.

I stared at her. She had rosy cheeks with light brown eyes. She wore long, dangle earrings with a pink tank top that showed her pierced belly button. Her brown skirt went up to her thigh making all the boys watched her bend down from behind.

"Well, don't be rude" Belle said to Lizzy. "Say hi to someone you know. But since I'm not rude, I'll say hi first. Hello Lizzy." Lizzy glared at her.

"Hi Belle" Lizzy said in returned.

"Is that it? I guess some people are rude. Besides, unlike you. I'm dating someone. And he's hot" Belle said with happiness in her voice. Lizzy rolled her eyes.

"At least I don't have to wear skimpy clothes to get guys" Lizzy sentence got cut off by Zita running toward her.

"LIZZY!" Crissie yelled following Zita. Belle laughed.

"At least my friends don't embarrass me" Belle responded to Lizzy.

"My friends don't embarrass me!" Lizzy was getting frustrated. Gary spotted us. Patty stepped away.

"Who's your boyfriend then?" Patty said. "A loser like you? Or maybe a bitch like you." Patty got closer to Belle. "Look, if you mess with my friend, your messing with me." Belle broke down laughing.

"How pathetic, using your friends to fight your battles. I'll see you tomorrow" Belle said. When Belle walked past Lizzy, she hit Lizzy's shoulder. Belle turned around. "Watch where you going!" Belle shouted. She laughed and walked off.

"She's a bitch" Justin said.

"I'll get her back for you" I said to Lizzy. "If she wants to mess with you, she'll have to go through me first. I can be a bitch."

"Don't worry about it" Lizzy said. "Let's go eat."

"Where shall we go?" Crissie asked.

"How bout Macaroni Grill!" Zita screamed out. I clapped and jumped up and down.

"Yeah!" I agreed. Everyone nodded. Macaroni Grill was across the street. Something tackled me from behind. I fell down to the ground. Someone was laughing. I looked up to see who it was. Momiji stood over me laughing at me.

"Sorry!" Momiji yelled out while pulling me up. "Where are you guys going?"

"To Macaroni Grill" Patty answered.

"Could I come?" Momiji asked.

"Sure" Justin replied.

"The More, the merrier" Patty said. I looked around to see if anyone showed up quietly. I spotted Ayaka. She was killing someone. I couldn't see them. They were behind a pole. I saw a glimpse of them when they moved. They had short, brown messy hair. He looked a little bit taller than Ayaka. He wore a long, grey shirt with blue pants. They I notice it was Dru.

"DRU!" I squealed. I ran through everyone and pounced on Dru.

"Oof!" Dru fell to the ground.

"Poor Dru" Justin said. I got up. I helped Dru up to his feet.

"Jeeze, I wasn't even prepared for that" Dru stated. I grinned.

"Is everyone here?" I asked them. Everyone looked around.

"Danny isn't here" Crissie said.

"Does anyone have Danny's phone number?" Zita asked everyone. Just when Zita said this, Danny came.

"Hey!" Danny called out. Everyone turned around. Danny ran toward us.

"Finally!" Zita shouted.

"Sorry" Danny said.

"Let's go people!" Crissie yelled out. Everyone headed toward Macaroni Grill. Everyone was laughing and talking. I looked away from everyone at the traffic.

"SARA! LOOK OUT!" One of my friends called out. I turned around. A car was speeding towards me. I froze not knowing what to do.

MOVE! SARA MOVE! NOW! I shouted at myself trying to get myself to move, but my body refused to do anything. The car was inches by me. Momiji started running towards me. I jumped up onto the car then hopped off the car. The car stopped. Someone got out.

He had white, shiny hair. His hair looked silky to me. He looked at me. His eyes looked innocent but mysterious. He came running toward me.

"Sorry about that" He apologized. His eyes met mine. He had dark blue eyes. His skin was beige. "You're cute" He said. I blushed. He helped me up. People around us were honking.

"GET OFF THE ROAD!" Someone yelled out of their car.

"Where are you going?" The guy asked ignoring the car.

"Macaroni Grill" I answered.

"I'll join you. You better get going. Your friends are waiting for you. I'll go park my car that isn't in the way." The guy smiled and walked away. I turned around and ran toward everyone.

"So Sara. Who was that?" Crissie asked with suspiciously. I shrugged. Momiji grabbed my hand. I looked up at me.

"Are you sure you don't know him?" Momiji asked.

"I don't. But for some odd reason, I have this feeling that I'm supposed to know him" I told Momiji. Momiji looked into my eyes for sensing any guilt in my eyes. Momiji looked away.

I looked over at Gary and Lizzy. They were holding hands like usual. Justin next to Lizzy talking to them. Danny, Zita and Crissie were skipping and singing.

Someone put their hand on my shoulder. I jumped quickly and turned around. It was the guy from the street. He was much taller than I was. He looked about 6'1". He let go but followed us in.

I looked around the waiting room. There was a window next to me with desserts on the shelves. I looked straight a head at the waitress.

"Hello. How many?" The waitress asked us.

"I think about 12 or 13 people" Dru answered. The waitress had dirty blonde, short hair. Her lip was pierced. She grabbed the menus and started to walk toward a table.

At the back of the room were booths. The whole restaurant was red with Greek paintings everywhere.

"Follow me please" The lady said. She moved 3 tables together. We sat down. She gave each of us a menu. "Your waiter will be right with you." She walked away.

The guy sat next to me. Momiji sat on the other side of me. Momiji kept looking at the guy. Momiji moved closer to me to whisper something in my ear.

"I don't trust that guy" he whispered. I agreed. I never saw some guy who didn't know any of us just come to lunch with us before.

The guy put down his menu. Everyone went quiet. The guy blushed.

"Oh! How rude I am. I didn't introduce myself properly. My name is Zad Harashi" He said. I noticed something unique about him.

"Are you Persian?" I asked him before I could stop myself. Zad smiled.

"Well, now that you mention it, I am" Zad responded. He looked at me then got serious. "I need to talk to you alone." Momiji was starting to either get jealous or just a little bit protective. Either way he stood up fast.

"Why?" Momiji demanded.

"It's something that doesn't concern you."

"Anything that concerns Sara concerns me too!" I grabbed Momiji's arm.

"Don't worry about it" I said to Momiji. "I can take care of myself." Momiji gave me a strange look than sat back down.

"Okay but if he does anything to you scream and I'll come save you" Momiji told me. I smiled and nodded at him. I got up and followed Zad outside. I stared up at him.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"You're part of the Persian Zodic aren't you?" Zad questioned. I felt strange at this question. I didn't know what to do. People aren't supposed to find out what Zodic I am nor found out that it actually exists.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked turning away. "I'm not! Okay!"

"Yes you are! I can tell. I'm part of the Zodic too. I'm the year of the Rat. Did you have that dream?" I turned to him with fear in my eyes.

"What dream?"

"The dream about the guy with a robe and there was a part behind him" Zad explained. Someone came out.

"Sorry to interrupt but we're ordering food. So come in if you want anything" Zita said. Zita ran off.

"Look, let's discuss this later. I want food" I said to him. He nodded in agreement. We walked back into the restaurant and took a seat. I ordered my food and he did the same. Momiji took my hand.

"That guy didn't do anything to you did he?" Momiji asked with concerned in his eyes. I smiled at him.

"Don't worry, he didn't" I informed Momiji.

Everyone stared at Zad. Zad felt uncomfortable.

"So" Crissie said. "How do you know Sara?"

"I meet her on the street when I almost ran her over" He said. I looked at him. My cell-phone started to ring. My cell phone was playing 'Forbidden Love' by Madonna. It was one of her new songs. I answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sara. Are you busy then" someone asked on the other side of the line.

"Well, I'm about to eat. Who is this?" I asked them.

"Shigure. After you finish eating could you come home. Well, to the Sohma household. There's a meeting about what Tohru saw today" Shigure answered.

"Ah. Okay. Bye" I hung up. I sighed and looked up at the ceiling. Everyone was busy talking. I looked down at everyone.

"Sara" Justin said. I wasn't paying attention to anyone. "Sara" He said again. I turned to look at him.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you okay?" I stared at him for a little bit thinking.

"Don't worry" I said smiling. "It's nothing important."

I turned away from everyone.

I can't believe this. Kyo always ruined things but I still I love him as a brother. I waited for my food in silence. Someone grabbed my hand again but held it.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Momiji asked. The waitress came with some food. Zita got pizza with different kind of toppings like mushrooms. Crissie shared the pizza with Zita. Danny got spaghetti and Dru got pasta. I couldn't see what kind of pasta he got though.

"I don't know really. I have to go to the main house" I told Momiji. Momiji had fear in his eyes.

"To see who?" He asked me. I looked away.

"Akito" I responded. He knew I have to see someone every time I go to the main house.

"I'll come with you. I want to make sure you're okay."

"Don't worry" I assured Momiji. "He can't do anything to me."

"Why?" I looked over at Momiji again.

"Because he can't manipulate me. I'm not in the Sohma family. I'm not the member of the Chinese Zodic. I'm the member of the Persian Zodic" I told him. A small smile started on Momiji's face.

"I'll walk you there since I have to go back home anyway."

My meatball lasagna sat in front of me. I grabbed my fork and dug in. Everyone fell silent while eating.

"It's quiet" Lizzy said.

"Break the awkward silence" I replied. Ayaka threw a dry lettuce at Justin. Justin threw it back at her. Ayaka started laughing really hard.

"You guys!" Lizzy shouted. "You're gonna get us kicked out! Stop!"

"HEY!" Zita yelled over them. "Stop!" Justin and Ayaka both stopped.

A waiter came to our table. He was tall with brown hair. He wore black pants, white, long shirt and a red vest.

"Please keep it down over here. You're disturbing the other guests" he said. He made it sound like we were at some hotel. He turned around and walked away.

We were back in silence. I finished my food. I brought out my purse. I looked for my wallet. When I found it, I took out $10.00. I poked Patty. She flinched and looked at me.

"Here. This is my half. I have to go" I told Patty. Patty took it and put it in the middle of the table.

"Where are you going?" She asked. I stood up. No one took notice.

"I got to go to the main house" I told her. She nodded. Momiji finished. He did the same as I did.

I waited for him at the door. He came skipping along.

"Did you want to say bye to anyone?" He asked me.

"Yeah, but they're busy. I don't want to disturb them while they're eating. I'll see them on Monday anyway" I answered. He grabbed my hand. I smiled and looked away blushing.

I hope Akito won't do anything to Kyo for his idiotic move. I grew worried. I didn't want Kyo to face Akito. Kyo feared Akito. All the Sohma's except Shigure feared Akito. The Sohma people who are part of the Zodic anyway. But at the end Shigure is scared of him as well. He would never stand up to him.
