Love With Fate

By Margaret Li

Chapter Two

Big Fight

On the bus to Veldt High, it’s a long way because it’s on the edge of Tokyo. “Li, I never thought that we’d come this far.” “Me either but we have to go to US and start our future.” “What is our future?” “Well, I don’t’ know either, we should ask Clow Reed about it when we grow up.” “We’re already grown, we’re fourteen remember?” “Fourteen, we have a long way to go.” “Li, you sounded like you miss Meilin and Hongkong too much.” “No I don’t!” “I know you’ll deny!” Sakura and Li gotten in a big fight, nothing could stop them from arguing with each other.

In school, they went to the same classes but they didn’t talk to each other and they both picked different partners for doing a project. They’re the only ones who go to Veldt High because they’re good but it looks like they weren’t friends anymore. Late that night, when the lights are out, Kero got out and began to talk. “Sakura, this place is good you know, you’re the one who’s in this room so we could whisper. So what happened to you and Li?” “Kero, give it a rest, from a now on, don’t mention Li’s name until I tells you to.” “Okay, okay, Sakura, so how’s school. You know it’s very boring staying here with all your bags and stuff.” “Kero, I’ll figure something out but high school is really tough and now I’m really tired. Good night Kero.” “Good night Sakura.”

Sakura isn’t very sleepy, she just gave Kero a reason to let him go sleep on the top of her bed. When she heard Kero snore, she got out and had a little walk. Everyone is asleep now, the bright moonlight shined on her. When she walks further to the playground, she saw a familiar face. “Who is there?” “It’s Eriol, I’m back.” “Eriol? You’re going to this school? If you are, that is great! I have a partner for English class now!” “No, Sakura, I’m here to warn you.” “Why? What’s going to happen?” “I can’t say much about it, anyways, you’re in big danger and if you don’t get back with Li, you’re going to be in a big trouble. It’s really big trouble that you’ll never know what to do.” “What do you mean? I mean, I’ll never get back with Li again!” “Okay, fine, anyways, go back now, it’s late.” “Okay.”

Li is sleeping next door to Sakura’s and he heard Sakura and Kero’s conversation but no one else was there. It’s a coincidence that they both had their own rooms but it mean nothing to Li now. He got up and walks over to the playground, he saw Sakura but he didn’t even look at her and Sakura didn’t even look at him either. Li heard bird chirping and animals beyond the forest but he just walked over to Eriol. “Eriol, you’re back? I’m going to have a partner in English class!” “Li, what is wrong with you and Sakura? It’s obviously you guys still likes each other but what’s wrong? You both said the same thing when you saw me. Anyways, you’re going to be in a big trouble so stop the madness!” “Eriol, you don’t understand, if you don’t go to this school, you’ll never know what is wrong with Sakura. She never thought about the future and all she wants was going to Harvard and be rich.” “That isn’t true Li, I know that Sakura is very nice girl.” “What do you know? If you know Sakura that well you could marry her instead!” “Li, please, now I’m serious, you have to look up what’s going against you. Beware. Bye now.” “Wait, Eriol!”

Eriol is gone and Li left alone on the playground. He doesn’t know what to do. Other people always say that he knows better than anyone else but now his brain is a mess. He needs a rest, a big one. Li walked back to his room and found Spinel Sun on his bed. “Hey Spinel Sun! You’re back isn’t it?” “No, I’m not, because Eriol have to go so I’m here to warn you. You’re going to be in a big trouble. After a week or so in High School, you’re going on a field trip with your History teacher to learn about ancient cultures.” “Bummer, Sakura is going with me also, we have the same teacher. Wait, I could change my schedule and never go on a field trip! No, bummer.” “Not only that Li, the teacher is going to take those two people there and he’s going to come back. The place is a laboratory about ancient fossils and the two people are going to stay there until they found the fossils. Your teacher will come back but he will left you there and if you don’t find the fossil you’re going to stay there forever.” “Great!” “Trust me Li, with my calculation, you’re going with Sakura.” “No!” “Anyways, it’s bad, now I have to go.” “Thanks, you’re a big help.”

Spinel Sun was gone and he went to warn Kero. They had the same conversation as Li had with Spinel but Kero isn’t going to the field trip with Sakura so Kero wrote a note to Sakura. Kero wrote that he’d be gone for a while so he went back to Magic World and spend sometime with Lero and Mero. And he was gone with the wind.

The next morning, when the sun rises, rooster calls out, Sakura woke up. “It’s a nice sleep! Kero, I have decided that you could go to class with me, isn’t it exciting?” Sakura looked up where Kero’s bed is but it’s empty with only a note on there. “Dear Sakura, I needed to go to Magic World and check on Lero and Mero. I don’t know when I’m coming back but I’ll come back if there’s nothing happening around there. Good luck! Kero.” “No! Kero can’t leave me now! Who’s going to talk to me? I’m so poor.” Sakura put on her school uniform and headed for her first class, History class. Sakura and Li’s schedule looks like this:

 

Per. 1          History Class          Mr. Clanner          Room 402

Per. 2          Math Class                      Mrs. Bay                       Room 219

Per. 3 & 4          English Class          Miss Lavender          Room 111

Per. 5          Art Class                    Ms. Woods               Room 520

Per. 6          Science Class          Mr. Blade                 Room 301

Per. 7          P.E. Class                    Mr. Alen            Gym

Per. 8          Honors Society Club          Ms. Dina          Room 500

 

In History Class, things are pretty much normal and Mr. Clanner began the boring lesson again. “Hi class, I have a surprise for you. I’m going to pick a male and a female from this class to go on the field trip to find the fossils!” “How fun.” Said a girl named Sally in Sakura’s class. “Not only that, you could skip school to go to that thing and no homework ever! All you have to do is go to the History Office in the basement, go see me and fill out a form. Then you’re in! But then you have a little test, 10 problems on fossils and then I’ll pick the person who got the highest level to go! Isn’t that exciting?” “Yeah.” Said everyone with a disappointment voice but Sakura seemed interested in that.

After class, Sakura went to the basement and found Mr. Tanner. She filled out the form and she went up and going up to Math class. She saw Li and Li saw her but they just went across from each other and their shoulders meet but then they separated. Sakura is mad at Li and Li is mad at Sakura. Li thought that if he doesn’t fill out the form he’ll never be stuck with Sakura ever but Fate brought them together. Fate filled out the form and put it on Mr. Tanner’s desk. Mr. Tanner is forty years old but he doesn’t believe that he forgot his interview with Li. But he doesn’t care. A week later, Sakura and Li were the only ones who wanted go on that trip so they don’t have to take a test.

Li is wondered why did he filled out that form but he didn’t remember anything either. They’re going on that trip next week so they packed again.

A letter was sent to Li and Sakura before they were gone, it’s from Magic World’s new leader, Sauri and Mauri’s new son and daughter, Sunlight and Moonlight. Sauri and Mauri is rest peace in heaven now. Sunlight and Moonlight changed the worlds and rules in Magic World. From the highest, Heaven, where people rest when they died but people could still visit them but they’re living in another place. The second highest, Source, where Sunlight and Moonlight were in charge, is very peaceful. In the middle, kingdom of Fate, it’s a new world and new leaders were there, Yin and Yang (bad things are going to happen). Below the kingdom of Fate, there’s Lasin World where the fighting and stuff happens. And to the lowest world, Hell, where they punish people who did bad stuff but when they wrote an essay about what things they’ve done, maybe the leader will led them out after Sunlight and Moonlight took care of them.

Li and Sakura doesn’t care much and they’re off on that field trip, no one knows what is going to happen to them, maybe it’s good and maybe it’s bad.
