AUTHOR’S NOTES: Hi, it’s me again, cardcaptor_girl; and I wrote another 
(second)
chapter of my story: “THE ALTERNATE BIRTHDAY PRESENT”. And remember! The 
story
is MeiLi!






CHAPTER 2: Me blushing?

In the last chapter:
“Ok, uh...I’ve got an idea. Meet me in a half an hour at my house. And don’t
mind my brother; he has a bad mood today.” I felt a sweat drop in the back 
of my
head.
“All right then, I’ll see you in thirty, Sakura. Bye.”
And now, I quickly hang up the phone, thinking of what excuse I could give
Meilin to get out of the house for a while, so I could meet up with Sakura. 
It
was better be something good. Not knowing what to say I just went 
downstairs.
  There was Meilin, serving the table. To be honest I felt singing in my
stomach, boy sure I was hungry and this food she made, actually looked 
normal.
But I could care less about my hunger at this time.
   “Li, I am glad you are here! Look what I made! Yeah I forgot to tell you,
every one at the house is gone. They had an emergency meeting with the 
elders.
Oh, did I tell you that some of the elders are here, in Readington? So today 
and
tomorrow we are probably gonna have to be by ourselves here...” She was all 
nice
to me today. And I thought, that she would probably ask me what I got her 
for
birthday. She always does that... But she didn’t. Strange.
    “I... I...have to be somewhere soon...” I was getting nervous; the worst
thing I was afraid of is to get humiliated in front of Meilin, to get her 
upset.
She probably was very creeped out by the expression on my face. The 
expression
was: guilt mixed with frustration and nervousness plus the whole sweating
and.......blushing? Huh, I was blushing? Since when did I start to blush? 
And in
front of her? Why did I do that?
She widened her eyes, until they were 360 degrees circles.
  “Li, are you ok? You don’t look so good.” I nodded.
  “I have to go somewhere right now.” A stupid smile escaped my mouth. I 
don’t
know why it happened. It was silly.
  “Aren’t you gonna try the food I made?” I didn’t know what to say. And 
tried
my hardest not to tell her where I was going. You know, there are times when 
you
can’t control you mouth and say everything you not supposed to say? Well I 
tried
my best not to do that.
  Ok, now I am better say something, so she wouldn’t get mad at me, because 
I
left her and didn’t even try the food she for me. I can’t say it’s a clow 
card,
because she is going to want to go with me. I can’t say it’s Sakura, because 
she
will get all jealous again. So, what I’ll do is...no matter how NOT easy for 
me
to do this...
   “Meilin... yeah umm...Hi! Meilin!” I AM BREAKING DOWN HERE! And she looks 
at
me with a suspicion. I’ve got to do or say something quick. So what I do is: 
I
go really fast towards her, take her hands in mine, and say:
“ MeilinIwilleatallofyourfoodwithpleasurelaterbutnowIhavetogo!” Yeah, you 
heard
me I said it so fast in one sentence. Even I could hardly understand myself.
Then I smiled at her with a “charming” kind of smile and practically flew 
out of
the door. I almost crashed into a tree in our yard. That’s how fast I ran.
I bet Meilin stood there in shock for a long long time. Everything happened 
like
a lightning. So fast.
  I acted kind of funny, I know that, but I don’t know why I did “THAT”.
/Author’s Notes: By “THAT” Li means his charming smile. / She must have been
very surprised. And when I say “VERY surprised” I mean ‘her eyes grew bigger
than wonder wheel coaster in Roller Coaster Park’.
I know she likes me. I know that she loves me more than just a friend. Can’t
say same thing about me though. I usually give her a cold shoulder or act 
like
she annoy me to death. I tell her that she is childish and pathetic. It’s 
just
an excuse. But why do I do that? Why? How can a “childish” person love 
someone
in “THAT” way?  Sometimes I wonder if I could ever like her in “THAT” way. I
mean I never tried to before, that’s all. Maybe I am afraid, I’m not sure of
what. It’s all too confusing.
  Sakura’s house! At last. It took me like forever to get here. And I’m not 
even
tired from running.

    TO BE CONTINUED...
