Chapter Three: It's you that I see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see -Michelle Branch "Everywhere"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bell rang for the last sixth period class to be over. It was time for the students to go home. Sakura walked to the parking lot hugging her binder close to her chest like always to see if her father was there ready to pick her up.
'Where is he? I really don't want to walk home alone...'
Kirschwasser skipped by laughing with her group of "the popular girls".
"Awww lookie the newbie all awone" She said in a baby voice.
One of her friends chuckled and said,
"Look at that hideous stuff she calls hair!! I just can't STAND it!!! It has those little kid clips in it! Ugh!"
"How stuuupid, having her hair like that and wearing a short dress with those high boots, she looks like a cheap prostitute waiting for a grown man in a hot rod to drive by!"
The giggling girls popped their chewing gum and went to walk home altogether. A short brown haired girl who was one of them, looked back at Sakura with a deep frown and closely followed her friends behind.
"Don't even think about walking with us newbie, we don't want any old pervert men asking us if we're free!" Kirschwasser added.
Momo waited a little longer and watched the passing students.
'I guess I'll start walking home...daddy isn't coming...'
Jr. was walking in the parking lot with his gang of friends, looking down at his boots as he walked. He saw Sakura all alone and about to leave so he ran up to her forgetting all about his friends, and poked her side.
"Ahhhhh!!" Momo jumped as her eyes widened in shock.
"Heh heh."
The yellow-eyed girl turned around a bit and blushed knowing that laugh belonged to Gaignun Jr.
"Did you really have to scare me like that?!"
"Of course!" He said with a playful smirk.
"Hmph, well anyway, don't you want to be with your friends, why bother with me?"
Jr. scratched his head and slowly turned around. He saw his friends with scowls on thier faces and Gavin was tapping his foot as if he was waiting.
"Well..uh..they look kinda pissed at me for not going with them...but uhh..um..I saw you all alone so I was like "Aw what the heck, why not?" "
Sakura felt her face gain that pinkish color again.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" She lowered her head. "Everyone else so far isn't at all..."
"Well umm..because I don't think you're anything like that, and I just want to get to know ya better, that's all."
Sakura lifted her head back up and put a big smile on her face.
"Oh really? Thank you! I'm glad you understand."
"Yeah, of course I do. Besides why would I wanna miss out talking to a pretty girl like you."
'Is he flirting with me? This is unreal.' Sakura thought as she shyly smiled at him.
They began walking aimlessly and Jr. spoke up to bring some conversation.
"So yeah, do you like it here?"
Momo didn't want to be rude, he is the president's son after all and this place was named after him.
"It's um, quite nice actually."
"Glad you like it. I hate this place with a passion."
Now Sakura was sure she made an awful mistake.
'Now look what you did Sakura...' She bite her lip.
"Why do you hate it so much?"
"For starters, my dad's a total dumbass and runs this colony like a freakin' retard. Man, even the Kukai Foundation sucks because of him, he never fixes it, he's "too busy" with government work to do anything around this dump. I pretty much hate this place because of him."
"Hee hee, that's pretty funny why doesn't your mother help? Moms are really great for times like these!!" Momo chirped brightly.
Jr.'s face saddened, and his heart dropped immediately after she said the word, "Mother."
Sakura saw his reaction quickly and knew it was the worst mistake she could ever pull.
'I did something wrong...again?'
"...Jr.?"
Jr. gave a heavy sigh and started to move more slowly. "Sakura...I don't have a Mom."
'Oh no! I really DID make him upset!'
"Where is she? Are your parents divorced?" She questioned.
"My mother...she passed away, two months ago in a car accident..."
Sakura felt God awful. It must hurt him so much not to have a mother. Her mommy always told her that boys are more attached with their mothers. Now Sakura knew why he didn't like his father so much.
"Oh! I'm truly sorry! I didn't know..."
"It's alright, it's not your fault at all."
"I'm sure your mother is looking down on you with all her grace, she must be in a wonderful place filled with no fear, torture, pain....she's in a good place, I just know it."
Jr. was surprised at how Sakura reacted about his mother's death. Most girls would say things such as "Well that's over and done with, who cares anyways? Not like it was my dear mother. Now let's go somewhere so we can be...alone." And that of course, was from Kirschwasser.
"Wow, you sure know how to make someone feel better."
She giggled and played with her hair. "Hee hee, I try."
They walked more in silence, just listening to the birds chirping their happy little
songs of spring.
"So, Sakura where do you live, I'll walk you there."
A small gasped came from her lips. She couldn't let him see where she lived, then he would start making fun of her too, just like everyone else. Why would he want to talk to the poor girl in the slums?
"I, um, I....well my house is umm..." She kept panicking, she just couldn't think of anything to say. "My house...is...umm passed this street so I can walk on my own from here, thanks for the company, see you tommorow at school, umm..goodbye!"
Sakura dashed ahead on the sidewalk.
"Wait!" Jr. called out, but he was certain that she couldn't hear him. She passed a car, and the lithe short-haired girl was gone.
'Damnit, I wanted to ask her for her phone number...maybe some other time. I guess I should go see my dear ol' daddy, ugh.' He began to slowly walk kick rocks toward the mansion President Kukai called a "house".
Sakura Mizrahi found her apartments easy, she could hear the yelling people, babies crying, and dogs barking loudly all around that area. She walked up the stairs to her apartment number 24. Something that Sakura did not know was that Kirschwasser was passing by the slum area and saw her enter her door and close it softly. Kirschwasser could make out the voice of Sakura saying "I'm home Mommy!"
"So, she lives in the worst part of the city also? Now I'm really gonna have a blast! I can't wait to tell the whole school she's a poor girl! This is SO good!" The silver haired girl smirked as she looked at it one last time.

"I'm home Mommy!" Sakura kicked off her boots, and quickly went in her room to put her binder on her bed and went out to the living room to greet her mother.
"Oh hi hunney, so how did it go?"
"It was fine! No big problems.." Sakura lied.
"See what did I tell you? I knew you would be fine." Juli handed her daughter a sandwich to eat. "But I have some problems of my own."
"Oh really? Let me guess...you weren't hired at the Japanese resturant, were you?"
"Saddly you are right. Another women got the job. Oh, what are we going to do, Sakura?" Juli put her face in her hands and sighed.
This is just what Momo needed more bad things all in one day. "I don't...know."
___________________
Jr. tried to open the front door but it was locked. A security camera stared at him.
"Fuck off."
Of course the camera didn't listen. He grabbed his keys from his pocket of his trench coat put them in the key hole and opened the door.
He went up the stairs and was about to open his mouth to tell Mary, Shelley, or Mr. Matthews that he was home but he saw a note saying that they also left for the meeting with his dad with the exception of Mary going shopping. Jr. sighed and jumped on the couch to watch some TV. until his dad would come back and bug the living Hell out of him.
_______________
Sakura and her mother Juli, both ate dinner alone late in the night. Joachim couldn't make it in time to see his lovely wife and his cute Momo.
"How come Daddy is always late on work." Sakura asked taking a bite of her rice.
"Well, he'll get extra pay if he works late hours too, he comes back home at 5:00 in the morning, gets three more hours of sleep, and off to work again."
"Oh I see...poor Daddy, I hope he doesn't over do it."
"Me too, sweetie." Juli had to lie about this, she never had the guts to tell her daughter the truth of why Joachim stayed at "work" longer then he should.
After dinner, Sakura went to dress in her pajamas and get a glass of water before she went to sleep. Juli was sitting at the dining room table looking in a phone book.
"What are you doing, Mom?" Sakura asked very curious while getting some ice for her water.
"I'm trying to find another job that's hiring, but it's tougher then I thought."
"Oh okay, well...I'm going to sleep now."
Mrs. Mizrahi looked over at her daughter. "This early, really? It's only 10:05."
"I just..have alot on my mind, and school was kind of tiring."
"Okay hunney, have a good sleep."
Sakura stumbled in the dark hall, but finally found her room. She turned on her table lamp, sat down and opened her diary.
Dear Diary,
I was right about hating this place! It's awful! School is horrible! This girl named Kirschwasser spreads stupid rumors about me that of course are not true, but everyone believes them. I had to sit at the "reject" table at lunch, but the people there were really nice, like Hammer one of the sophomores. I take it that she must be the most popular girl in school and she's only a freshmen....how strange.
Well I guess you did your thing, stars. I did meet a boy! He's the only one that can see the real me, oh and he's also very cute. ^-^ The only problem is that he's President Gaignun Kukai's son! That just makes things worse! He also doesn't have his mother, she dead two months ago, it's so sad. I wonder what it would be like without having a parent?
My mother didn't get the job. Now what are we going to do? I don't want to live here forever! I hate the Kukai Foundation....I really really want to go back to Miltia. I haven't seen my dad tonight, and I probably won't for awhile, he comes home really late. I'll only get to see him on Sundays.
Ok enough of my ranting, I need to get some sleep, I have school tommorow, and I'm dreading it. The only reason I look forward to going, is so I can see Jr., the guy I just told you about. If something happens, he always makes it turn out better. Wow I guess I sorta like him kinda. ^_~ C'ya tommorow!
She closed it, locked it back up, and placed it back on her top shelf. She looked at the night sky and breathed it in once again and closed the shades. Momo thought about Jr. most of the night, even when she tried not to. 'This is gonna be harder then I thought..'
__________________
Jr. heard the door close and saw Mary come up holding bags of clothes.
"Hi, Little Master! I just got back from shopping!"
"Umm....sure."
"Oh Little Master don't be like that! I'll tell President Gaignun!" She stuck her tongue out at him.
Jr. just ignored the childish gesture. "Where is he anyway? It's like, freakin' midnight."
Mary rolled her eyes. "Oh you know how it is, he's probably still over there jabbering!"
Jr. turned off the TV and headed for his room. "Now Little Master, just where are you going?"
"Sleep." He shut his door. Mary huffed and put her hands on her hips.
Jr. practically fell on his bed. 'Man, why am I so tired?' Jr. kept thinking about all the things that happened at school today. Mostly about Sakura and how she randomly showed up making his day a good one.
'I still don't get why Kirschwasser is such a bitch to her. She's one of the nicest girls I've ever meet..she's a real cutie, I love her voice too...man what the hell am I thinking? It's just a girl, get over it.' He turned to his side, but he still kept thinking about her no matter what.
There was just something about her, it was something that reminded him of his mother, it was something he really liked. He could hardly sleep, all he did was think of Sakura, even though he only knew her for a few hours at school. 'Man, what the Hell's wrong with me?'
