Love With Fate
By
Margaret Li
All
the fights and bad stuff had stopped. It’s peaceful in Tokyo. Tori and Julian
graduated from college and they both teach in an elementary school near
Tokugawa. Julian was the science teacher and Tori is a math teacher. Sakura got
a call from Tori that his school, Benify Elementary is very cool and he is doing
fine and don’t let dad worry about him. Then there’s a call from Madison.
“Sakura, I needed to talk to you. Come on over.” “Okay.”
Sakura
went over to Madison’s and Madison looked serious and her eyes are red.
“Madison? You okay? You seemed like you’ve cried.” “Sakura! The most
cruel thing happened to me.” “What?” “I have to move to Tokugawa because
my mom started a new company there. Taylor Co. as the same but it’s an
ultimate one and we will be rich later on.” “What about us? I’m going to
Veldt High and so is Li. I think Meilin would go to Readington High because she
wasn’t that good in math.” “I know Sakura, we’re going to move tomorrow
so now we’re all packed up. I promise I’ll come back on holidays. Here, this
is my new phone number, don’t forget to call me.” “I will Madison, we will
be best friends forever.”
Even
though Sakura didn’t show to Madison that she was sad but she is really sad.
She run really fast home and lay down on her bed, thinking about all those
things. “Dad is going to England to find something for his research, Madison
is moving to Tokugawa and Meilin is going to Readington High. All my other
friends from elementary school are all going to Readington High. What should I
do Kero?” “Sakura, I know you could take care of yourself. We’ll be fine!
We still got that kid Li on our shoulder.” “Kero, for 4 years you still
don’t like Li.” “Of course I do Sakura, you’re my best friend.”
Then
Li called and he sounded serious also and he and Meilin is coming over. Sakura
now is really scared because maybe Li is going to marry Meilin and they’re
going back to Hongkong. “Sakura,” said Meilin, “I think I better go back
to Hongkong now. I needed to explain to Li and my parents about our engagement
and your relationship. It’s better that way because now you can be couples and
I don’t want to bother you any more. Anyways, my mother found me a place where
they search for fossils and stuff and I wanted to be an archaeologist. So, do
you have anything to say? I’m leaving tomorrow.” “What? Meilin, you
can’t go, after you’re gone, who is going to have my girl talk with me?”
“Madison, obviously. We never had girl talk before.” “No, Madison is
leaving tomorrow and I’m going to see her the very last time.” “What? She
is? I feel like all my friends are gone. But anyways, I have a lot of friends in
Hongkong and after all, it’s my country.” “Meilin…” “Don’t call me
Meilin, my Chinese name is not Meilin, my last name is actually Li, I am Li’s
cousin as you can see, and my first name is Meiling. Take care now!”
“Sakura,
you see what I meant? Our friends are not here anymore, we’re on our own.”
“What do you mean by on our own? We ended all the fights and stuff.”
“It’s not that easy Sakura, life is difficult. Your brother is going to stay
in Tokugawa and your dad is in England, and we’re the very last ones in
Tokyo.” “I better go pack now Li.” “Take care now Meiling.”
“Thanks.” “Sakura, I’ll tell you something, after the first year of our
high school year, you could sell your house and I’ll sell mine. Wei is going
back with Meilin so I could sell my house. Your dad could buy a two bedrooms
house and he could put all his stuff in the new apartment. Then Tori could come
back and visit and everything. The money left over we go to Unite States and we
could live there.” “I don’t know Li, this is very serious.” “Think
about it Sakura. Now I’m going to take Meilin to the airport, she’s leaving
tomorrow at 1:00 A.M.” “Bye Li.”
Sakura
thought about all the things Li told her, she knows that Li loved her but US,
it’s a far away and mystic country. Even though US is a little better than
Tokyo, the digital technology isn’t good enough as Japan. And we have to live
in US, learning another language. No! I have to think about something it’s
good about US, fast technology, great college, and everything else.
That
night, no matter how much Kero ask Sakura what’s going on, Sakura didn’t say
anything. She talked to Tori and his dad about it and they accepted it. Then Li
brought them a form of engagement so he could marry Sakura.
It’s
a month until school starts, Li and Sakura both got the letter from Veldt High,
they both got in and they had the same schedule.
Later
on, Wei and Meiling went back to Hongkong; Li sold the house, Sakura sold her
house, and she bought a new story house. Sakura’s new house looks really
beautiful. She has a big living room and medium kitchen, a nice bathroom and a
cool front gate and a backyard. Upstairs there’s a big bedroom and a medium
guestroom. Sakura’s dad isn’t home so she placed all her mom’s pictures
and all the other stuff in the house and it fits perfectly. Since Sakura’s dad
is not going to come back until two days before school starts, Li gets to sleep
at Sakura’s house. Of course he sleeps in the guestroom and Sakura sleeps in
the cool, huge bedroom.
In
Veldt High, there’re three parts. One is the learning building, five stories
high and in the middle there’s the playground and the gym, very huge. On the
other side there’s the place where the students live in. Five stories also. In
the learning building, there’s elevator and the first story is English class
building. Twenty classes in there for all the students needed. The second story
is Math class building, including algebra, geometry and all the others. Third
building is Science class building, including labs, classes and all the others.
The Fourth building is the History class, including books, and fossils. Finally
the fifth building, they’re for whatever your elective is for. One class for
each one elective such as Computer, Technology, Art, Sign Language, Medical,
Survive, Band, and three others and ten clubs. Each building has a bathroom and
drinking fountain.
In
the middle, there’s the playground. It includes gym, dirt field and court
field, and weight room. They do a lot of activities; they have basketball court,
football field, baseball field and whatever students wanted.
On
the other side, it’s the place for students for live in. They only go home
every three months. They get day off on holidays and new years. The building is
cut off to two parts, one is for girls and one is for boys. They have elevators
also and two bathrooms and two drinking fountains in each building. Li and
Sakura are in the second building.
When
Sakura’s dad came back, Sakura gave him one key and she kept one. Then she
told her dad that doesn’t forget to give the other key to Tori when he comes
back for vacation.
Li
and Sakura went on the bus to Veldt High. They had 10,000 dollars for go to
American and they saved on their account. They had more money but they left some
for Tori and the rest. Kero was with Sakura to the High school, but 10 girls
gets one room so Kero doesn’t exist. So Sakura used her magic to put all the
magic in Tokyo in one small box and Kero is guarding it. Kero now became a
stuffed animal again sleeping next to Sakura.
Madison
is gone and Meilin is gone, now it’s all up to Li and Sakura to make things
work. Li and Sakura both had a dream to go to Harvard in United States.
They’re looking forward to that day. In the very corner of Low World in Magic
World, there’s still one more left devil is undefeated. He is going to destroy
the world by killing Li and Sakura first.
