~Problems~

Chapter 1: Tears~

=Mei Sakura=
I opened my eyes halfway, the room was still filled with darkness, I looked over at the digital clock on my bedside table. It was only three in the morning, I collapsed back onto my bed. My eyes shot open at the very thought of him.
-
"Zack..." I whispered as I sat up in my bed. It was too dark to even see my hand in front of my face. The memories all came back to me, the last message he sent me, the suicide note, his funeral. The whole reason I moved away, my foster parents thought it was best that I had a change of scenery and that would help me get over him. I kept thinking about him no matter what I tried to do. I couldn't forget the one I loved. I tossed over the light green covers and switched on the pink lamp on the bedside table.
-
The room filled with soft pink light. I set my feet on the fuzzy mint green rug near my bed and tried to stand up. I felt the warmth in my body be replaced by the cold, I walked slowly towards the bathroom. I gazed in the mirror as I closed my door, my light blue eyes, my faded pink hair that was spread out in all directions, I realized how skinny I was, I rarely ate so that may be why. I can't remember the last time I looked at myself in the mirror, then again it was before the funeral three months ago. It all came back to me, I looked back at he mirror and the image flashed in my mind, I was wearing all black, and I had a black veil covering my eyes, there were black roses in my hair.
-

-
I blinked and I looked at my tired self once more. I felt tears start to form in my eyes as I quickly looked away at the mirror. I grabbed the light blue hairbrush out of a drawer and started brushing my wild pink hair, I kept my face still as I continued on thinking. I could barely even remember the name of the town in living in, I couldn't even remember the last time I smiled. I could just imagine his last words in the back of my mind, the way he left me in the rain. The image was black and white in my mind, I could remember the pain I felt when he said those words: " I can't go out with someone like you anymore!" The image flashed in my mind, I could see the tears flowing down my cheeks.

-
I blinked a few times before I shot back to reality. I opened the closet to reveal a few of my favorite outfits, I finally decided to wear a black dress with rainbow colors scattered at the top, the skirt part ended above my knees and I wore some black knee length boots. I looked at myself in the mirror once more before I grabbed my light pink book bag and headed downstairs. I looked at the clock in the corner of the room. Four in the morning.
-
Time seemed to slow down when I thought about Zack. I filled my thermos with strawberry iced tea and made myself some breakfast. I placed the batter in the waffle iron and waited for it to finish. I realized how quiet it was, I walked back upstairs and looked into my parents' room, the bed was made and everything was in order. I don't understand, they didn't leave a note, not even a voicemail. My mind wandered to where they could've gone so early in the morning. I heard a loud beep from downstairs, I ran downstairs and unplugged the waffle iron.
-
I grabbed a plate and set the blueberry waffle on it, I sat on the couch and ate my breakfast in silence. I decided to pass the time until the 5:30 A.M bus showed up. This stupid school expected me to be there at six in the morning. I saw something flash in the corner of the room. I turned to see a small box near the front door, out of curiosity I grabbed the box and carried it to my room. I carefully pulled back the tape and opened the box. What I saw had me in shock. I held the mirror, it was decorated in gorgeous red jewels. The light made it seem even more beautiful than it already was. I placed the mirror on the bedside table, as soon as I turned back to the box, I caught a glimpse of green. I walked towards the box to see a photograph of Zack, it brought tears to my eyes, it was in a white heart shaped frame, he had such a lovely smile. Tears formed in my eyes as I put back the frame and hid the box under my bed.
-
I heard a loud horn sound outside, I grabbed my book bag once more and ran outside, locking the door behind me and putting the key in my bag, there was a large blue and white bus in front of my house. The large glass doors opened and I stepped inside, my heart skipped a beat as I walked to the back of the bus, everyone was staring at me, I knew I was the odd one. I looked to the back where a boy was sitting, he was the only one not staring at me. I sat next to him and looked out the window. He was wearing a black hoodie over a white shirt with a red tie and faded blue jeans, I'm guessing it was school uniform?
-
"Finally some sort of entertainment." The boy chuckled behind me. I turned to face him, I could barely make out what he looked like since it was still dark out, it was rather cloudy outside too so that made it even darker.
-
"Pardon me?" I asked him, he looked at me with a smirk, but his sly grin faded away and all that was left there was shock.
-
"I'm sorry did I do something wrong? I always manage to screw things up, I will leave you alone, sorry about that..." I turned away from him but he turned me to look at him.
-
"Mei...it can't be you.." He whispered.
-
"How do you know my name?" I whispered back. I was filled with curiosity, we passed by a lamp post and for a split second I could see that he had green eyes. His eyes shined in the light, much like Zack's eyes would do.
-
"Mei..I can't believe it's you." He said. I have him a confused look.
-
"I'm getting really weirded out...do you mind telling me who you are and how you know me.
-
"All will be revealed of you meet me at lunch, on the school rooftop and make sure you're not followed." He said as he got up, we weren't at school yet, I nodded and watched as he walked away from me and took a seat next to a blonde girl, she glared at me with her own bright green eyes.
-
After a few minutes we finally arrived, I heard thunder in the near distance as I got off the bus, I walked slowly over to room 202 in the math wing of the school, I walked inside the class with the most silence I could make. I took a seat in the back as a bald man, who I assumed was the teacher stood in front of the class as more and more people walked inside. His smile made his cheeks seem even more red, it was freezing in the room, but this man was sweating more than a criminal in a courtroom. I examined the room with my bright blue eyes, there were math posters everywhere, and they were all in vibrant colors.
-
The blonde girl who I assumed was the boy's girlfriend walked into the class and immediately took a seat next to me, the boy also walked into the class and took a seat on the other side of me. It felt like I was surrounded as more people turned to look at me once they took their seats, I leaned back in my chair with the most confused expression on my face.
-
"Does the rat talk?" One girl asked.
-
"She is too stupid to even think, you heard what Stephanie said about her." A boy snapped at the girl.
-
"What's going on?..." I asked, they all laughed.
-
"I told you she was stupid."  the blonde girl said. I looked at her, she gave me a grin, a devious one if that.
