Chameleon - Chapter Twelve

Was that just a dream? Tomoyo apologized to me. And I forgave her. And then both of us hugged. She cried in my arms, I just didn’t say anything, yet I smiled and held her till she was done.

“ KAIJUU! WAKE UP!” a voice like a dragon roared in my ear.

I violently got up, my eyes closed, and subconsciously kicked the person in the shins.

“ OWW!” He shrieked.

I opened my eyes. I see, Touya hopping around, holding his shin, and screaming like a girl.

“ Touya? What are you doing here?” I whined.

“ Kaijuu, go look in the calendar, see what day it is for me please? Apparently somebody injured me in the shins so I am unable to do that.” Touya said.

I ignored the Kaijuu bit. I went straight to the calendar.

“ Today is Monday.” I said blankly.

“ Yeah it is.” Touya said.

“ Uhuh.” I went to lie on my bed next to my brother.

“ Sakura.” He repeated. “ Today is Monday.”

“ Yeah?”

“ Today is Monday.” He said again

What the hell is he on about? Today is Monday I mean I’m supposed to go to school-

I gasped.

“ Y-yeeeeeeeeeeeah…” He made it into a 10 second yeeeeeeeeeeah.

“ I’m gonna be late!” I said..

“ Aye.” Touya said casually, and left the room.


I ran, I know I was gonna be late. I think I am already though. Oh shit!

I kept running.

Then I saw somebody also on a bike rushing towards school.

Eriol!

He saw me and slowed down and yelled, “ Hop on!”

I didn’t refuse. I did a large leap and landed roughly behind Eriol, we both nearly fell when I landed.

I held on to him. And we rushed to school.

“ Sorry we’re late miss.” I said, behind my hair.

“ This is unacceptable, Hirigazawa and Kinomoto, and Li!” Miss Yamagi, said.

“ I will inform Ms. Mizuki about this, you three will be getting detention after school.” She continured.

Hang on? Did she say the three of us? I turned around, there was Li, but he wasn’t looking at me, I don’t think he would, but my heart keeps hoping for it though.

I nodded and the three of us headed to our seats.

There was Tomoyo, Mei Lin, Rika, Chiharu and Naoko waiting for me at the table, one seat empty, I think it’s for me.

Yeah, well how did Tomoyo know Mei Lin and the others?

After, she finished apologizing, as if like a movie, Mei Lin and the others came and greeted me, they saw Tomoyo and they kept quiet.

Mei Lin was very surprised, but then Tomoyo stood up, apologized to them and explained everything. Mei Lin wasn’t sure at first, I mean, she asked for my opinion on whether is am I sure, that I was ready to accept her forgiveness.

Mei Lin said that what if Tomoyo would ditch me again? I told her that I was ready, and she nodded, and from then on. All of us walked to Mei Lin’s home together, sending each other off one by one.

Right now, I’m not sure if Mei Lin and the rest have become the best of friends of Tomoyo. But they’ve been getting along quite well. I mean you can’t expect them to be the best of friends, since it’s just their first official school day hanging out together.

“ KINOMOTO!” Ms. Yamagi yelled.

I nodded dumbly and just went to my seat.

But Eriol winked at me before I went to my seat.

What was that all about?

I’ve known Eriol for 6 weeks now, and let me tell you when he winks at you. That means he’s got something up his sleeve.

“ So, Sakura? You have anything you want to tell me?” Tomoyo smirked.

“ Yeah, Sakura, is there anything you want to tell us?” Mei Lin continued.

Everybody else in my table had a suspicious look on their face.

“ Uh…what are you talking about?” I said, I didn’t get it.

“ She’s so dense!” Chiharu laughed, rubbing my head.

“ We know honey, that you….” Mei Lin started.

“ That you like.” Chiharu said.

Oh my god! Don’t tell me they think me and Eriol are going out? Out of all the guys!

“ Syaoran….” Tomoyo said, slyly.

I flinched out of my seat.

“ Haha, I know it.” Mei Lin said evilly.

“ Ohohohohoho!” Tomoyo made a fake evil laugh.

“ Shut up!” I said, embarrassed, whacking Tomoyo and Mei Lin with my paper.

“ KINOMOTO!” Ms. Yamagi screamed.


Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, Mei Lin, Tomoyo and me were making our way to our lunch table. My heart dropped again as usual, as I see Syaoran and Anna making out in the farthest end deserted lunch table.

If only he could see, that she wasn’t a nice person. I mean she’s only nice in front of him. I wish he would look at me like that. But I know it’s almost impossible. I mean, we’re just classmates, we aren’t even friends. I’m not pretty, and I have problems with socializing. What more of a freak do you want?

Of course, Anna is only alone when she’s with Syaoran. The rest of her cronies are sitting on another table, we were passing them right now.

They didn’t look as if they cared about me.

I thought they were finally going to leave me alone.

How I was wrong.

A pink nail polished foot that was fitted snugly into the pink high-heeled pumps stuck out.

And I didn’t see, until I was already tripped and halfway to the ground.

Unfortunately, my lunch tray came down with me as well, on my back.

Tomoyo gasped.

Laughter roared through the cafeteria. I sat on the cafeteria floor, that was already dirty from my tomato soup that I bought. I didn’t say anything, I just looked at them.

They were waiting.

They wanted me to freak out on them, so Syaoran could have a go at me again. They wanted to see what this bitch is gonna do now.

I’m sorry to disappoint you, bitches, but I am going to stay calm and get out of here.

Just as all my friends were going to help me up.

Somebody else grabbed me and pulled me back on my feet.

My hair is filled with tomato pieces, and yoghurt.

I turned, to my surprise.

Oh my god ! It’s Syaoran, he helped me up!

“ You all right?” He asked.

I was way much too embarrassed now.

I hastily said, “thanks.” And left the cafeteria.

Tomoyo and the rest were following me, but I told them, to go eat their lunch and don’t let me disturb them.

I ran to my locker to get a new pair of clothes. The same one of what I’m wearing of course, except in dark green. What did you think?

Then I went to the changing room to shower and clean my hair and my back, soaked from Tomato soup. Nasty.

When I was done, I wiped my face with the towel.

I can finally think.

When are those bitches gonna stop making my life hell?

Damn it.

I closed the tap on the sink and headed on to my class.


When I arrived, Tomoyo and the others were concerned, to see if I was okay, I just mumbled I was fine, and didn’t speak to anyone till the dismissing bell rung.

I was about to go home, when I realized.

Damn it.

I have detention.

I put my back inside my locker, and headed to the detention room.

Eriol and Syaoran were already there.

We were left there and I went to a seat and stared there. Then I looked out the window, and watched the leaves fall from the trees for a minute.

I blinked, I turned around and saw Syaoran sitting in another row behind me. I wish he was staring at me. I sighed.

And Eriol-

Where’s Eriol?

One minute he was here, damn it. I swear that guy is an illusionist. He like disappeared, or sneaked away from detention. I choose both.

Which means…. I’m all alone with Syaoran…

How can I live?

My heart is thudding now, I’m surprised that Syaoran can’t hear it.

Oh my god! Oh my god!

Then I heart a sit, behind me being pulled out.

I wanted it to be him.

Well, I know God won’t give me Syaoran. So I am blessed to at least have this wish to come true.

He was talking to me!

“ Sakura, are you all right? Oh my god they are so mean…” He said.

“ Uh, I’m fine, thanks…and thanks for helping me..” I mumbled.

Why can’t I be cool and free?

“ I am surprised that they would do that.” He said.

Poor Syaoran he is so dense.

“ I can’t believe it.” He said.

“ Thank God Anna is way different from them.” He continued.

This caused me to speak up.

“ Syaoran, it seems like nobody is gonna tell you, and I’m gonna do you a favour, so you won’t stay dense forever.” I said.

He looked at me.

“ I did not start beating up on Anna. She started it.” I said.

“ So? You take things so seriously. She just teased you with something little for the first time, and you jumped on her.” He said, defending her.

“ The first time?” I croaked.

“ You.” I said. “ have crossed the line. She ‘s the one who always started it. You call me overreacting? This is not the first time that she bitched about me okay? I had enough of her. She started it. Don’t start making all the conclusions. You think you know everything. Before you start judging me, why don’t you take a look and know you girlfriend first.”

“ Oh yeah? I know my girlfriend. She’s way much better than you” He yelled.

“ I feel sorry for you.” I said.

“ No I mean seriously… tell me what do you guys talk about?” I asked.

It took a long time for him to answer.

“ We…we don’t..all we do is…” He said, obviously trying to find something.

“ hump each other like rabbits?” I said.

“ yeah….and when we talk she only talk about clothes and our next date.” He said.

“ See?” I proved my point.

“ Okay, maybe I should get to know her more.” He said.

“ Uhuh.” I nodded.

“ But it doesn’t mean I believe you, you know. That you started it or not. But whatever, I’m sorry for letting it out all on you okay?” He apologized.

“ Whatever.” I said.

“ Yes or no?” He stopped me exiting.

“ O- -kay, for the time being no. I’m still hurt over your false accusations on me. But I might forgive you, if you just please, don’t throw false accusations at people, and like maybe you could find out the truth about your girlfriend. I’m not saying to break up with her, all I’m saying is, she’s just, not exactly who you think she is” I replied.

He let me go.

“ We’re still friends right?” He shouted.

“ Yeah.” I said. Managing a small smile, I couldn’t help it.

He is a nice guy, just really dense and stupid.
