Tomoyo came to school with a hickey. We didn’t notice actually but we were just hanging out around each other’s lockers. When I heard a whisper.
“ Hey..guys!” whispered somebody. “ Sakura, pssst!”
We looked behind our backs. Tomoyo came out. Mei Lin started to speak
“ Hey Tomoyo, its okay tell us? We’re your friends…darling…and don’t act so innocent and-”
She shrieked. All of us had to cover her mouth. Tomoyo just blushed, and giggled nervously.
“ What the hell is that?” Chiharu gasped.
Somebody leaped in front of us. Yamazaki?
“ OOOH yes..my bet is right…uhuhuuhuh….oh by the way did you know a synonym for hickeys are love-bites, and also legend has it that the love bites are judged by the colour, and how powerful that sucker is, and yours Tomoyo, is purple and-”
Yamazaki had been taken care of by his girlfriend Chiharu.
“ Damn!” Mei Lin said.
“ Yeah, so can I borrow anybody’s band aid, I don’t want to cause to much attention to this.” She pointed at the hickey. It was on her neck, not lower thank goodness.
“ Yeah I got some.” Rika answered, and tossed it to Tomoyo.
“ So, Miss Daidoji, what exactly happened yesterday? I suspect that all is fine now between you and your Mr. Hiragazawa?” Naoko said, sneakily.
“ It did.” She said happily.
We looked at her hickey.
“ We can see that too.” I replied.
In the background I heard Yamazaki screaming, “ GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!”
“ Class, do you know what day today is? Friday! Which reminds me, that we are leaving for Bahamas in three days!”
Everybody whooped at this. Oh, I forgot, I haven’t even started packing yet.
I am now in the shopping mall, I forgot some things and don’t have some of the equipments that we need to bring over the trip so I came here.
I saw Anna and Nicole over at Surf and Sands, picking out bikinis, I decided not to pick a fight, I never do actually and just walked past the shop.
Why are they bringing bikinis anyway? We are forced to wear our school swimming suit, but the teacher did tell us to bring a swimsuit just in case, we lost our school one.
I can never wear a bikini. I don’t know, but I look so hideous! I’m sure of it.
So what I bought for swimming on the trip?
A scuba wetsuit. Knowing my figure is quite ugly, I decided to cover it up and go black.
I know I’ll be freaking hot, but I would rather cover my self up then get humiliated in the sun with my body in exposure.
Okay, I am all done now, I have a new torch, sunblock SPF 50 for my skin, Sandals, water shoes and shorts.
I decided to waste time though, by going into the shop that has small tiny clothes.
“ Hey, you came for your outfit?” The shop assistant asked me politely.
“ What?” I said.
“ Remember, about a month ago, you said to reserve this.” She took the clothes out.
Oh yeah, it was a white top with a green skirt that I tried on like weeks ago.
I have forgotten about it.
I might as well take it.
“ Yeah, I came for it, I’ll take it now, that I have the money.” I said.
She smiled at me. She then opened the cash register to give me the balance and the receipt, and handed me the bag.
“ Thank you!” She said.
“ Welcome.” I replied politely and left the store.
“ Ohayo, Tomoyo, you said you wanted to see me, and it was urgent?” I said as entered her bedroom, while Tomoyo was standing at the door, opening it for me.
When I was at the mall, I got a call from Tomoyo from Dad’s cellphone that he lent to me. She said she needed to see me ASAP and it was very urgent.
“ Yes.” She replied. Closing the door.
Something about the tone of her voice, made me knew something wasn’t right.
“ Sakura, I have had enough!” Tomoyo said.
“ What?” I was confused.
“ What are you talking about?” I repeated.
“ Your hair!” Tomoyo exclaimed.
“ It is time for me, your friend, express her gratitude towards you.” She started advancing me, with her hands.
“ What are you trying to do?” I asked weakly, Man, I was backing off, but I couldn’t go anymore because of the wall.
“ GIRLS!” Tomoyo said evilly.
“ Girls?” I whispered.
Suddenly out of the bathroom, came running Mei Lin, Naoko, Chiharu and Rika, armed with scissors and sprays.
Uh-oh.
“ I am running away.” I said.
But they cornered me. I have no way out.
“ ATTACK!” All the girls screamed before jumping on me
Monday morning.
I sighed and woke up earlier than usual, just to make sure, I have everything in my suitcase and my bag, all my passport, ID and immigration forms.
Then I took a longer shower than usual. And I got dressed, to my dismay, not with my usual outfit, But I have been forced by my dad, brother, Tomoyo and everybody. I have to wear something else.
So I wore a T-shirt, with a baggy white jacket, followed by beige pants, and white trainers.
I was also forced into tying my hair.
I sighed again. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, today’s the day, Sakura, where you’re going to Bahamas, where you can have fun, and watch the waves ripple all day long.
“ Sakura, eat your breakfast!” Touya yelled from downstairs.
“ Coming.” I yelled back, and brought all my suitcase and bag with me.
Touya made me eat bananas, cereals and pancakes and orange juice. I don’t usually eat much, but today I was forced too.
When I was done I rechecked everything again, and they sent me to school with Dad’s car.
When I arrived, the bus was just about to leave. Wow, were we so late?
“ Hurry up, Sakura!” Ms. Mizuki shouted.
I ran with my suitcase and bag, along with Touya and Dad.
They helped me store my belongins in the bus carriage.
“ Got everything?” Dad said. “ Love your hair, by the way.”
“ Yeah, I think so. Thanks Dad.” I kissed him and Touya on the cheek.
“ I love you Dad.” I said.
I hugged both of them.
Touya rustled my hair.
“Take care, kiddo.” He said.
“ Hem hem, enjoy your sessions with Yukito while I’m away and you guys are the only ones in the house.” I joked. “ I hope you guys ain’t boinking on my bed.”
In return, I got a smack on the head.
I got on the bus and gave them a wave..
When Ms. Mizuki got the attendance done, the bus began to move towards the school gate.
I still waved even though, I could only see their black outline figures watching the bus go.
“ Aww… Sakura, you have a new haircut!” Eriol said.
“ You look cute.” Yamazaki said.
“ Thanks.” I mumbled.
The girls grinned, as they know they have done well with their art creation.
Eriol was sitting with Tomoyo, Mei Lin with Ryu, Chiharu with Yamazaki, Rika was with me, while Naoko was sitting with another girl called Yuri.
“ Wow! I like your haircut!” Ryu complemented me.
Now everyone knows, when Ryu, a known hottie, says something. Everybody looks.
Nobody said anything. Except as usual Anna was whispering to Nicole. Whatever. I don’t care what they’re saying.
I examined my hair again in the mirror in my bag. It was nicely cut. I have to admit, when the attacked me, the pushed me on Tomoyo’s chair, and started spraying and cutting and blow-drying. I could not do anything, so I had to let them cut it. They had my front hair, into a nice fringe, which I knew they did purposely so the hairs won’t cover my face anymore. They also made it shorter and even, oh well, whatever, I guess I just have to suck it up.
I glanced at Li, he looked hot as usual. Wearing white loose shirt with black trousers. I wonder if he noticed my new haircut? I subconsciously touched my hair.
“ Don’t worry” Rika whispered. “ He’ll think it will look great as well.”
I smiled. She must have seen my daily staring-at-Syaoran ritual.
We spent the rest of the bus ride talking about what it was going to be like when we get there. I have to admit, I’m pretty excited as well!
“ Welcome to Aeromexico, we are delighted to have you aboard--” The voice spoke on the plane’s speaker.
Yeah, we are going to Mexico, then from there we take the flight to Bahamas.
Oh my god!
When she was done, the plane started to turn and move, and when the plane is speeding up to ascend.
I gripped Tomoyo’s hand.
I hope all of us are going to have a fun time.
The plane went up into the clear morning sky, and we’re heading off to the other side of the world!
