Chapter 3 : Invitation

SAKURA POV:

Ring ~ Ring ~ Time 06:00 AM

I woke up from the sound of my alarm . I yawn for a while and slowly blink my eyes. For the first time , I wont be late form the school. Cynthia wont budge me this day for being late and I'm so proud of it. I'm so proud of myself !.

While I'm doing my necessary things , I remember something about the letter that was given to me and its all about the invitation of the car racing. Supposedly it's not our time yet but I requested to move the race and let my gang join the race instead.

Even though I'm the empress. I still need to hide my identity.

I think it was last week that I have the letter and it was my sister who received the letter . She keeps on insisting to join the gang or either to join the race , when I told her NO . She insists if she can watch the race instead , together with her friends.

Of course I disagree . what if someone already know my identity and they will targeting her as well ?.

I want to take precautions . I'm her Big Sister , so its my responsibility if something happened to her. She is still fourteen years old. I don't want something happened to her.

But she still insisting if she can just watch the race and she promise to take care of herself , so I've got no choice but to agree.

When the time come's , maybe , maybe I will let her do whatever she want's but not now.

I looked at the invitation card on my desk. It's a car racing so it's fine if our enemy was the same members but I fee intrigued with our enemy in these match. Its seems that we're not the only people (referring to her gang's friends) who's age was below 18.

I took a deep breathe and started doing my routine.

" ma'am the breakfast is ready " I heard someone knocking the door so I get my things ready and slowly walked towards the door.

CYPRUS POV:

I'm taking a glimpse to those people who pass by as if I was looking for someone.

I heard some of the girl's voice scream and shouting with my name but I didn't care at all. Just looking at these girl's you know for instance that , these girl's was the type of woman that there perspective of men was good looking, they didn't care about the inside or the attitude what they're looking is the outside.

I didn't look at them nor take a glimpse at them , they're just an annoying pest.

F*ck , where the heck is she ?. I want to take revenge for what she did to me.

wait ! Even though we're classmate , I still didn't know her name yet.

Hold on a minute ! , why do I even care about her name ?. I just find her interesting , cause it's my first time that someone goes against me.

So it's okay to call her Nerdy right ?. Her name doesn't matter at all.

I was standing here in the corner of the gate as if I'm waiting for someone

I heard some girl's saying " maybe his waiting for his friends ? " . I give them a blank expression.

I looked at the time and it's still to early 7:16 AM .

I heard my phone ring and it was one of my friends sending a message to wait at them at the gate. I put my phone back at my bag and after five minutes , I saw her walking towards the gate.

Should I confront her? or should I let her pass by ?

I cant wait to see her reaction. I can't wait to go the room but I need to wait of them (referring to his friends)

I giver her a death glare and curse her in my mind but I didn't think that she stopped walking and as if she was looking for something and after a few seconds she look at my way and give me a cold stare , so I bow my head and averted my eyes to the car's who pass by.

I take a glimpse on her and saw her shake her head and started walking again. What the F is that ?

SAKURA POV:

I thought someone looking at me ? but maybe it's just my imagination?.

I started walking again and didn't mind what happened.

It's still early so maybe I will wait for Cynthia in the corner ? or maybe I will just go my classroom instead?.

I feel bored while walking in the stairs. I saw some of the students , busy talking with their friends and there's some students who was beside their lover having a lovey dove.

What the heck?. Its still early and their flirting each other ?, Does this people know that this is a school? not a hotel or motel?.

But like I said , I didn't care at all. I take a glimpse at them and started walking again.

Oh my gosh ! I don't need to work out since everyday I was climbing on these stairs to go to my classroom.

Until I reached from my classroom , I stopped for a moment and catch a breath. Jeez ~ Just climbing up and down the stairs taking a lot of time.

I slowly pin the doorknob and take a glimpse inside. It seems that all of my classmate was kind of busy with their business and It seems that Cynthia was not yet here , so I started walking without looking at everyone. I didn't mind the surroundings at all so I sit at my arm chair like nothing happened.

I feel something sticky and I smell something egg ?. I looked at them but it seems that they didn't smell anything.

I stood up and touch the back of my skirt. Oh my gad !

I gasped for a seconds and look at the sticky yolk mix with an egg white. I feel disgusted.

Who the F did this ?. I looked at my classmates but it seems , they didn't smell anything. All of a sudden, I heard a familiar voice saying " disgusting " .

I looked at them and give them a blank expression but they just laughed at me. I heard one of her friends saying " I smell something bad" and she looked at me and say " oops ! my bad ! " and she laughed again.

Should I think that they are the one who did this?. I heard one of her friends say " Look Maricar , it's kind of sticky. Feel disgusting like Ew ~ ". These girl's was making my blood boiled but I don't want to argue with them so I just leave them be , instead I looked at them with a blank stare.

I heard Maricar talking to her friends and all of a sudden they called our classmates attention and asked them if they smell something.

One of my classmate shake his head and asked why. They're making a commotion inside the classroom and asked them (referring to the classmates) to come closer , so all of them come closer and saw the cracked egg.

I don't want to argue with these girl's cause they're just an attention seeker. I don't give a freaking care about them.

I clench my teeth and take a deep breathe. These girl's getting on my nerve.

The front door suddenly open and I heard someone's voice. I looked at him and give a blank stare's , just looking at him make me pissed off. He slowly walking towards me with a smirk smile. He give a plastic smile and started acting like what happened.

He looked at me and give me a smirk.

He suddenly spoke and say " Have you got no shame ? I'm your seat mate. I'm one of the popular and yet you, trashing out a trash anywhere " he smirked and give a plastic smile but I don't want to argue with him so I give him a cold expression .

I heard Maricar saying Honey I told you to seat beside me , look what happened , she started clinging at him.

Honey ? Is this girl serious ?. Is she hallucinating ?, well who care's !. Now I've got an idea who did this.

I haven't spoken a word yet but I looked at them with a blank expression.

I started walking towards the door when I heard Maricar saying what a trash.

I turn around and wanted to shout at her when suddenly the door opened and someone shouting " what's these smell ? ".

Great Cynthia , all of them didn't smell anything but you , who just came in smell something , what kind of nose do you have?.

I heard Maricar saying asked you're friend so she just looked at me with a worried face and run towards me. I kicked the chair beside me and looked at him with a cold stare

I rolled my eyes and bid my farewell at them. I know how disappointed are they , they think they can make me cry with this stupid prank ? These guys are such an idiot for thinking that kind of stupid idea.

CYPRUS POV:

She suddenly kicked the chair beside her and looked at me with a cold stare. She rolled her eyes and started walking outside together with her friends. What kind of girl is she ? . I snapped when I heard my friends coming inside the classroom.

I heard one of my friends asked me if I'm okay , just nod at him.

I sit on my chair and all of them (referring to his friends) surround me. I asked them if they have the information I'm asking for.

Joshua give me a folder and told me " she's one of our classmate and yet , you didn't know her ? . I already know her name and the info you're asking for was here " .

I scan the paper inside the folder and what shock me most is not all the information I'm asking was not here.

I'm really curious with her. I found her interesting and I have a feelings that she's not an ordinary women. It seems that asking them is useless cause they don't have any other information so I change the topic and asked them about the race.

" We received an invitation and it will held this Saturday at exactly 7:00 PM , it seems that our enemy was belong to rank " I just nod at him and thinking what kind of people are they.

SAKURA POV:

I feel her gazed at me so I looked at her and ask what but she just shake her head and laughed. Is she crazy ?. I shake my head and laughed , oh its seems that I'm crazy as well.

" So what should we do ? " she asked

I already changed my clothes and its kind of awkward to go back to the classroom. I don't want to see their faces anyway.

" Cutting class ? " I told her and we laughed. It's been a week and we want to cut class.

We started walking towards the abandon building , that's our secret hideout. We're talking just talking about our stupidity , when I heard a familiar voice in the corner and it looks like he was in the pain.

We looked at each other and started running in the corner. We slip through the woods and peek at the hole and their we saw him. He was beaten into death by two people . I heard him cursing and saying cowards to them. We need to act but Cynthia hold my hands and told me to keep quiet.

" don't rush " she said , so I just nod at her and say okay

They started talking and I heard him saying " what do you want with her " .

Her ? who is she talking about ? . The first guy answered him and told him " its none of your business ".

I saw him bleeding. I fee hurt looking at him, even though I don't like him but still , he is one of my classmates. The second guy have piece of wood at his hands . I looked at him and feel pain. Just how far did they torture him?.

Should I go and save him ? but if I do that , we will be suspended in our class. Should I ask for help?.

" He badly need help right now " I told her and she nod . Its better to ask hep with the teacher , we don't know what happened and maybe it will cause and commotion to other students so its better to let the teacher handle it.

I was turning my back and asking for help when I heard him say " maybe I don't care about her but still she's my classmate and just looking at her she's kind of nerd but still she's woman , do you guys have a shame ? " . I peeked at the hole and saw him bleeding and he was badly hurt.

" I may know her but only her name , as far as I know she don't have an enemy "

" do you really know us ? " the second guy asked but Alexander shake his head and split some blood on him. He was furious on his actions so he kicked Alexander's face.

" We belong to a certain gang called The Blade " . The Blade ? they're so familiar to me.

" Aren't they the one that you're gang against with ? " I looked at her and say yes . Why should I forget them? , they're playing dirty.

" maybe they're looking at you " I suddenly realized what Alexander say about classmate and Nerd. They're talking about me !. How the hell they know my name ?. I always wear a mask to hide my identity. No not me but everyone wearing a mask

I heard the second guy told the first guy to silence him. I've got no choice but help him, asking the teacher's takes a lot of time.

" Cynthia go ask for help , I will take care of it and also go back first to the room after " she nod and run away.

I kicked the wood and slowly walking towards them. It seems they didn't feel my presence.

I heard the first guy hissed and told the second guy shut him up his f*cking annoying.

I immediately kick the can to gain their attention and I saw Alexander look at me with a disbelief and asked me what am I doing here . I shake my head and trying to control my anger.

The second guy run towards me and trying to land a punch but I step back and turn around and kick his face. I saw his mouth bleeding so I kicked slapped his face cause seeing his face make me irritate , don't ask me why but I just want to slapped someone cause I'm really pissed off . I'm having a bad day and yet they started a commotion in the school.

Wrong move dude , I'm not in a mood to play around so I kicked his lower part very hard and I know for sure that his ball was cracked so I landed a punch at his face. I saw him lying and shouting.

I looked at the other guy and it seems that he already recognize me cause he told me " thank you for coming " so I give him a smirk. I looked at Alexander and he can't utter a words. I looked at the guy and smile at him and my smile makes him pissed so he run towards me as he wave his woods and trying to beat me but I avoided his woods and kick it. The wood was thrown away .

I looked at him and smile and kick his face just like I did to the other guy . I stepped back and raised my left feet to the air and give his head a smashed.

He started to feel dizzy so I looked at the other guy. I though he cant stand up but it seems he can still fight. I'm waiting or him to move but all of a sudden he picked a knife at his pocket and started waiving it . I get myself ready but his running towards Alexander so shield myself .

Thank goodness I act fast so the knife was stab at my side corner. It's started to bleed but I can hold it since the stab was not fatal. I kicked the guy and landed and hard punch at him . He started to feel dizzy

" argh ! " I heard alexander moaning in pain

" wait let me help you "

" sak --- ahh ! " He suddenly collapse

I started to panicked. I've got no choice so I grab him in a bridal style. I run towards the exit and started shouting to the guard and asked help.

CYPRUS POV ;

Its been an hour but she was not yet here. I saw here friend sitting in the armchair while her body was shaking.

All of a sudden we heard an ambulance . All of the students stood up and peek at the window , they didn't mind even though the teacher was in the front. I heard her friend gasped and mumble Sakura.

The door suddenly opened and saw our class president catching his breath . He stood up and looked at us.

" what happened ? " the teacher asked . He gasped and told us " Sakura was being stab and Alexander one of our classmate as well was being beaten up by someone . Class was suspend for a while to investigate what happened. "

I stood up and looked at him . What the F ? . She was stabbed by someone?

" class let's dismissed !" and the teacher run away outside. We heard a loud noise in the speaker. It was connected to the main office.

" Attention ! don't panic . Please stay inside the room . No one is allowed to go out . I'll repeat stay inside the classroom . We will contact your parent's and your guardian . Thank you . Teacher's please come in the office Thank you "

Someone enter the school premises ?. I heard them whispering each other and some of them are panic but we need to follow and stay inside the room.

I heard one of the girl's say " that nerd was nothing but give us a headache " . I looked at her and it wont surprise me at all. This girl was one of the b*tch . I remembered she's the girl who laughed at Sakura earlier. What's her name again ?

" Hey , what did you say ? " woah ! I suddenly stood up . She was furious and her face was angry

" why ? Am I right ? that girl was nothing but giving us a problem . What a trash is always a trash and what happened to her is none of my business "

Is this girl crazy ? Someone was stab and beaten to death and yet she's acting like a b*tch. This girl have an attitude problem.

" You're such a b*tch Maricar , does your brain stop functioning ? or are you jealous of my friend ? " everybody looked at her and form a circle as if we're in arena. Woah ! It seems a fight will start.

I saw this girl name Maricar with her friends walking toward her. I think her name is Cynthia ? If I'm not wrong ?.

They're looking at each other and Maricar smirk and laughed at her. I saw this girl name Cynthia push back Maricar. Maricar's friends was laughing at her .

I heard some of my friends debating who win the fight. The F ? these guys are nuts !

" should we stop them ? " I heard Joshua asking but I told him " No , lets see what happened and when it's getting bigger we should stop. "

Maricar laughed and shout " b*tch " \and slapped her. I saw Cynthia clench her teeth but she's trying to keep calm. This girl is awesome. " afraid ? " Maricar was still laughing and pushed Cynthia back and told her " you're friend is a trash " and they laughed again.

Maricar looked at the armchair and give a smirk . I have a bad feeling about this !.

Just like what I expected , Maricar throw the armchair to Cynthia but she bend lower and avoid it. I heard one of my friend Sky whistle. Cynthia run towards the corner and picked the broom and throw it to Maricar . But Maricar can't avoid it so it was straight landed on her face. All of us laughed

I heard one of Maricar's friend asking " why are you still defending that nerd ? " but Cynthia response her " she's my friend and you guys bitching at her ". I saw how angry are they at her so they told her " what the ! look what you did ! . You b*tch " .

I saw Maricar's face was bleeding and some of her friends was getting on the actions and started blaming at Cynthia. They run towards her and pulled her hair. Cynthia was shouting in agony.

I heard Sky saying " we should stop them " but I just shrug at him and told him " No"

I saw at Cynthia kicking the girl who pulled her hair and she kicked the other one and she raised her right leg and smashed it to the other's girl's face .

Sh*t ! this is crazy . All of them feel dizzy well except Cynthia.

Maricar step back but Cynthia run toward her and kicked her stomach.

" I will make sure you pay for this " Maricar shout at them but Cynthia told them " if you can ". What does she mean by that ?.

" My father is one of the stock holder of this school " I heard Maricar say and she was proud of it.

" let me tell you something , do some research before asking a fight or this school will be lost forever " What does she mean ?

Maricar's face was full of anger and she immediately wipe the blood on her nose.

I heard my friend say " it seems that both of your parents was business partner " . I'm not shock at all cause this school was an Elite and some students here was came from an known family and some are business partner.

" know you're place , be grateful that I stop myself " she clench her teeth and she looked at them fiercely .

I can't believe what happened right now these girl's are insane and to think Cynthia was too strong.

My mind was not on state when I started remember what happened to her (referring to Sakura) my heart became pain. I don't know why but I fee scared all of a sudden.

" hey , you're cousin was i the hospital " I heard Michael talking to Xyriel but he replied " I know " . I looked at both of them . What the F , he doesn't care about his cousin ?.

" do you have a problem ? " I turn my way and looked at Michael and told him " None " . We're not allowed to go out so were still inside the classroom .

" Isn't she cool ?. I though she's a shy girl " I heard Sky whistle.

We smiled and laugh . So he's always on his mind ? . We looked at him and tease him it seems he likes her.

" dude , just court her " and we laughed secretly . They're still teasing at him so I told them to stop and I change the topic.

" what's our plan ? " I asked them so they stop for a while and shake their head

" who's our enemy in race again ? " they give me the card and I looked what inside.

I smirk and smiled .
