Sakura and Tomoyo are showing Meiling around the school.
Her classes passed by slowly none of her mourning classes had any of her friends and most of the kids in her classes didn't go to Tomoada Elementary. The lunch bell finally rang. The three friends met up.
"Where's Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked. Meilings heart pumped ten times fast for a second
"He had to retake a test." Sakura said in a disappointed voice. Meiling was relieved she knew that if he could of hung out this lunch period she would of become either third wheel or a little pest. "So where should we start?" asked Sakura. Then they looked around the school. They saw the gym, the lunch room, and all the class rooms. Meiling stopped when she saw a big sign, it said LOCK IN,
When: Friday 8:00pm-Saturday 9:00am
Where: School duh
What: It's a night with movies, fun and games
"What's that" Meiling pointed to the sign
"The school is having a fun raiser" Said Tomoyo "It's tonight there will be games and movies like it says."
"It's like a jumbo sleepover too!" Exclaimed Sakura "It's what kids in America do sometimes and everyone liked the thought of doing something way different"
"Wow I want to go"
"Buy a ticket" Said Tomoyo
"I don't have any yen"
"Oh that's ok I'll buy a ticket for you" Said Sakura. They went to the ticket stand.
Later that night
Meiling wanted to ask Syaoran so many questions and tell him about her day but he decided to move on. He loved Sakura and she had a except that. Meiling told her parents about the lock in and that she could go. Meiling started to pack. She was really excited she could hang out with Sakura's and Tomoyo's friends and play games and hang out. She was imaging her and Tomoyo talking about guys and maybe Tomoyo showing her to some really cute ones. She saw the new dress Tomoyo gave her earlier and forgot about how annoying she was in elementary. She sat on the couch waiting for Syaoran she wanted to walk him. She imagined them laughing about their weird social studies teacher who earlier danced them this awkward song in a hula skirt and wearing oven mitts. He was trying to explain the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War 2 while keeping the students interested. NOW they would have something to talk about. She turned on the TV. Two episodes of Full Moon Wo Sagashite. The main character was like a princess she always got her wishes granted. The show gave Meiling hope that one day Syaoran would be by her side and make her wishes come true. Couples away broke up anyway. She watched another episode. Then she remembered.
"Mom where's Syaoran?" She asked
"Oh he already left." Her mom replied
"WHAT!" She yelled. Why didn't he invite her? She ran out of the house forgetting her stuff she ran toward the school. Suddenly she calmed down. Now what she thought? There was a busy street it was rush hour. She stood there waiting for her turning to cross the street. That turn would never come. She began to get restless. Then she remembered a few years ago she was walking to school with Syaoran and he showed her a short cut going through a dark tunnel but now it was getting darker and that was stupid idea now. The stop light never changed the sooner she beat up Syaoran for being a jerk to her the better. Maybe she could use a shorter short cut. She turned around and found some this forest that she knew surrounded the school.
CAW CAW
A bunch of crows screeched but still Meiling cautiously kept stepping forward. Weird figures and shadows kept appearing. This place was dark and endless the only light was coming from the moon. "OW!" Meiling spilled into a tree she lost control and her face slide against a tree. "AHHHHHHHH." The wind blowing toward her face made the accident more painful. Regardless she didn't want to miss the lock in or even worse give up on this challenge. She started walking toward the moon guiding her toward the school. She started to notice the moon going down and there were only a few stars in the sky but there weren't very bright. Oddly was gave her more desire the find her way out. Minutes later she was still in the same place. She tried to take a step forward to find out her foot was stuck. She tried to get the foot out but the hole was too tight. The moon sank completely all the light was gone. Red eyes started to approach. A wolf outline began to show. Growl.
"GOD SAVE ME!" She screamed. Tear fell down her cheeked she didn't want to end her life there was so much she wanted to do her. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" The animal got closer and suddenly pounced. Then a guy flew right in front of her and got attacked by the wolf. The animal began clawing the guy. He started to scream in pain. "Hey you" Meiling yelled. She bent down grabbed a rock and threw it at the wolf's head. Her fear somehow left her. The wolf whimpered and ran out. A tall thin tan boy about 17 stood up. He clothes were ripped apart and he had bags under his eyes. He grabbed Meiling's hands and pulled her out of the twigs. "Thank you." she whispered
"You're welcome" He said emotionlessly He picked her up and fireman carried her. "It would be easier if you didn't slow us down." Meiling felt warm and protected this guy's arms were warm and comforting. She felt protected. She felt luck that it was too dark to see her smile.
