Hello again! Well, here's my sequel to my first story, Eighth Grade Formal. I strongly suggest you read that first, but it's not necessary. Thanks for clicking on the story, and RxR! Enjoy~
"Good morning Syaoran!" Sakura sweetly smiled her good morning to Syaoran, who was standing outside her door. I can't believe he picks me up every morning for school! He's so nice!
"Good morning Saku! Hurry up now, or we'll be late!" Syaoran replied, teasing her gently. I can't believe it's ninth grade and she's still waking up late!
"Hooee! Late!" She stuffed her feet into her shoes, grabbed her backpack, and flew out the door, slamming the door behind her. In a flash, she was at the sidewalk, grinning at Syaoran. "Hurry up slow-poke!"
Syaoran lazily walked next to Sakura. Walking to school with the girl you loved was nice. Especially when she loved you back.
Meanwhile, at the school, Eriol and Tomoyo were leaning against their lockers, coincidently adjacent to each other.
"Eriol! It's been three whole months! I can't stand it!" Tomoyo squealed, clutching her bookbag. "How long will it take until Syaoran takes her out?"
"I'll take care of it," Eriol reassured her in his usual mysterious way. "Just make sure she's away from Syaoran when they come."
And so, when Sakura and Syaoran entered the school building, they could do nothing but be played like the pawns of chess. Tomoyo eagerly dragged Sakura away, rambling about a new dress design, and Eriol successfully stuffed Syaoran into a corner.
"Dude." Eriol started, slamming one of his hands next to Syaoran's head. "It's been three months. Why won't you ask Sakura out? Tomoyo's getting uneasy with the lack of occasions to make dresses!"
"Huh?" Syaoran blinked, confused. "Ask…her out? But don't you do that to get to know someone? Me and Sakura already know that we love each other."
"But don't you want to show her that you still like her? No one can tell that you guys are going out. Oh well, I suppose you're not going out, seeing that you haven't asked her out yet." Eriol sighed dramatically, looking up into the distance.
"Ah-ah-ah…But-ah…" Syaoran stumbled over his words, obviously never having thought of that before.
"Of course, if you rather not, I could always find someone else to show her a good time." Eriol tossed the comment carelessly.
"What? No! I'll do it!" Syaoran rushed out. "Uhm…But uh, how exactly do you ask a girl out? It has to be special! How did you ask Tomoyo out?"
"You want lessons on how to hook up with a girl?" Eriod asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Hook up?" Syaoran threw the phrase around in his mouth. It tasted weird. "If that's what you want to call it...But I guess. I don't want to just go up to her and ask her out! It has to be special! Like, light a hundred candles outside her window in a heart!"
"No my dear friend. That's going overboard. You go do that when you propose." Eriol teased lightly, winking before disappearing into the classroom they were walking by.
Syaoran unfortunately didn't notice and kept walking, mumbling to himself, "Ask her out? Is that really nessesary?"
"Ask Sakura out?" Tomoyo asked, stepping out from behind the rows of lockers.
"Oi!" he shouted in surprise, "Yeah, Eriol says I should ask Sakura out. But we both know we love each other, so why bother?"
Oh. Wrong thing to say. Tomoyo, as a result burst into angry flames and grabbed Syaoran's shoulders. "It's cute. That's why. And I need more footage."
"Oh." Syaoran stiffened under her grip. The memory of getting scolded by Tomoyo last year was still too fresh in his mind. "But I can't just ask her out…"
Tomoyo rolled her eyes. "Of course not. You need to figure out where first! How disappointed would Sakura be if you brought her to the library for your first date!"
"All right!" Syaoran nodded, determined. "Step 1. Where to go."
Whoo! That wasn't short at all! (sarcasm) I'm sorry! The next chapter or so may run on the short side, but I'll update as fast as I can! Thanks for reading! Don't forgot to RxR, if you wish, mean, nice, critisizing comments all welcomed! :)
