Chameleon - Chapter Six

The weekend.

It sucks. The fact that I can’t see Tomo—

Oh yeah, she ditched me. She ditched me for those bitches.

I actually have nothing to look forward too, the fact that my only best friend had left me for some no good freaks, left me truly sad. No, scratch that. I am angry, mad, depressed and sad and confused.

And now, I am the loneliest freak in the whole school. Shit, now I’m blaming myself why Tomoyo ditched me. I wonder if it is me.

Maybe its because I’m too fucking shy and unsure of myself all the time. Maybe that’s why she left me because she’s sick and tired of putting up with me.

It’s Saturday morning, I am in my bedroom, sitting on the window porch, looking at the sky. My eyes are all swollen and my voice is croaky now. Talk about short term depression, if this is my state now, I wonder if I could last on long term depression.

I mentally slapped myself. FINE, LET HER DITCH YOU! FORGET ABOUT HER AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR FUCKING JOBLESS LIFE!

Well, I was so shattered, I couldn’t possibly show up at Syaoran’s house.

Damn it, I have to go to his house. Today.

The knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Sakura, are you gonna come down for breakfast?” Touya exclaimed.

“Uhh….not hungry.” I replied.

“ You didn’t eat dinner last night. So eat breakfast, I want you out. Now.”

I couldn’t help but sigh again. Typical Touya. He probably thinks I’ve started being anorexic or something. Unfortunately, it’s nothing like that.

“Yeah.”

I opened the door, and went to the bathroom and took a shower.

I was done.

I came down and sat on the table where I usually sit, next to Touya.

I didn’t say anything, Dad saw me and smiled and continued reading his newspaper. Touya just kept on eating. I ate, but with very little appetite I didn’t even finish half of the pancake Touya especially made for me.

“ What’s the matter? Kaijuu not eating her food. Is everything okay?”

“ No. But I can handle it, oni-chan.”

He didn’t answer, I knew how much he wanted to know what the problem is and want to help me. But he has to realize that I’m no longer a kid. I can take care of myself.

I hope.


When Dad said I have to go to the shopping mall and get a few stuff from the market from him. I was not so keen on the idea. I mean, come on, I’m not gonna lie to you. What if I run into them there?

I was scared out of my wits. Now that Tomoyo is on their side, obviously, they’ll realize that I’m all alone, and probably start beating me up or something.

But I had to go anyway.

So here I am, at the shopping center. I already bought Dad’s stuff, and I am just randomly browsing in and out of shops.

So far , so good, still no sign of them.

I saw a clothing shop and had an urge to go there.

The clothes were colourful, and tight, and really for thin girls.

Fortunately, I am not fat.

So, I decided to check it out.

I went and found a lime green skirt, and a white spaghetti straps top. I know this isn’t the type of clothes I would wear. But for some reason, I wanted to look pretty. Not hooker pretty, just pretty.

“ Miss, you want to try it on?” the shop assistant asked.

At first, I wanted to refuse. But she was smiling so sincerely that I just couldn’t say no. So, I went inside and got changed.

When I was done, she came in to take a look at me.

“Waaah, so kawaii.” She complimented me.

I blushed.

“ But, honey, come here.” She said.

I approached her.

She gently brushed off the hair that covered my face.

“There now, better, why hide your beauty?” She smiled.

I turned around to face a mirror.

To my surprise, I saw a girl with beautiful emerald eyes. And my body, I didn’t look so bad.

I couldn’t help but smile.

Tomoyo’s right, shopping does cure stress.

The thought only darkened my mood.

Suddenly, like magic, I heard her voice and other couple of girls too.

But where was Anna?

Never mind that now. I have to run. Before they spot me.

“ So do you want this?” The shop assistant asked.

There was no time, so I said.

“Sorry Ma’am, I just realized I’m out of cash, can you er…reserve it for me? Thanks.” I bowed and left the shop.

Only half and hour left before I get to go to Syaoran’s house. Outside, you couldn’t even see my face because of the hair covering it like a curtain. So you’ll probably think I’m cool with it.

But inside, I’m so freaking nervous. My heart is beating fast and I could feel my pulse. Sweat trickled down my spine. Oh fuck, sweat? I need deodorant, I’m going to stink!

I looked in the mirror again, to make sure my honey brown hair covers my face.

Then I got dressed into my usual clothes. Long sleeved black shirt, baggy ¾ pants, a big black jacket with a hood, that’s my style.

I put on my socks, and started putting my converse on.

I said goodbye to Dad only since Touya has a part time job so he doesn’t come home straightaway after his college.

Then, I put my hood on and closed the door and headed to the bus stop.


Okay, one more reason to add why I’m madly in love with Li Syaoran. He’s super modest. He knows he’s hot but he doesn’t use it and brags about it like other guys, and he didn’t tell everybody that he’s filthy rich.

Because his house is not a house. It is a mansion on a big ass estate. It practically took me two minutes to walk from the gate entrance to the tall door that would lead the way into his absolutely fancy mansion.

I rang the bell. Nobody came for a while, the house must be so big, the person, has to take a while, to get the door.

Suddenly, the intercom next to me spoke.

“Uh..he..hello.” A rough tired voice spoke.

“Hi, Syaoran, it’s me Sakura.”

“ Sakura?” Syaoran sounded very confused.

“Uh…come in.”

The door automatically opened, I went in. It took me a while to find the movie room, where Syaoran was in.

And when I entered the room, I nearly jumped out of my skin to find Syaoran in such a state!

His hair was all ruffled, he wasn’t wearing a shirt, the shorts he’s wearing are halfway down his legs, and why is his lips so red? Is that lipstick?

I went inside the room. Now I know why he’s so tired. He wasn’t alone after all.

I’ve interrupted a make-out session.

Guess whom he’s with?

Anna.

How can I tell I’ve interrupted a make-out session?

First of all, look at Li Syaoran’s state, the way he was speaking. Damn, and look at Anna, her blouse was half unbuttoned, you could see her black see through bra. Her skirt was practically clinging on half her hips and half on her knees. The comfy sofa’s in the movie theatre, well the pillows are all messed up and apparently have been used as a bed. Hell, the TV isn’t even on for God’s sake.

When Anna saw me, she scowled at me and glared at me with the What-the-hell-are-you-doing-here? look.

“So, uhh, Sakura, What are you doing here?’ Li asked, eyebrow raised.

“ Uh..to work on our project?” I said simply.

“But it looks like I’ve interrupted something here…” I continued.

Syaoran still looked confused.

“ Sorry for interrupting you guys, I’ll go now.” I said.

And I turned and ran, ran until I reached the cherry blossom tree in the park.

I couldn’t help it and I cried again, Syaoran Li has been taken!

My life is ruining every moment! I hate my life!
