The Two New Students
Syaoran walked in with a couple of his mates. They were laughing over some joke which he had said.
"Hey Syaoran," a couple of girls said.
As the girls walked past, Eriol started to crack up.
"Man, aren't those chicks hot...and what did you do? Just said nothin'. I would have at least said, 'Talk to my friend Eriol."
"Yeah, and tell them what a freak you are?"
"Sounds about right," Eriol said.
The guys started to crack up.
"Seriously Eriol, get a life!" Julian asked.
"Hey in case your wondering, I do have one...it's with you, babe."
"Nani? Who are you?"
"Hehe...I'm your worst enemy."
"Oh my God, you're a homo!"
"Bingo," Eriol chuckled, delighted, "Nah, just kidding, hun."
"Hey dude, I'm not interested in guys."
Syaoran watched his two mates debate whether or not they were interested in one another. It was like watching a tennis match. Except a tennis match results to a trophy, not your friends becoming homos.
R-I-I-I-I-N-N-G
"Aw damn...better get to class..." Syaoaran muttered. But in fact, he was overjoyed. Watching Eriol and Julian argue wasn't exactly his cuppa.
Eriol and Julian merely grunted a response before parting with Syaoran. Eriol had dragged Julian by the arm away from Syaoran so they could have some private time.
"Hey Julian, I guess it's just you and me, baby," Eriol said.
"Argh! Get away from me! HENTAI!"
Syaoran looked out the window. Every now and then, a girl turn around and give him a you're-so-damn-cute-and-I'm-interested look.
He really didn't like it, but it kept Eriol jealous. Syaoran would receive a whisper every now and then, something like, "Hey, that girl – she just – how come I get no fun?"
"Eriol, what are you saying to Mr. Li?" the teacher asked.
"I-I…er…asked him if he…er…wanted to go out with me after school?" Eriol said before thinking. Only after had he said it, he realized what he had just said.
The whole class cracked up.
"Well, if I hadn't had this important news to tell you, then I would have sent you to detention. But you need to now this information as well. So you have been let off, and please, next time you ever fantasize Mr. Li with you after school, please don't let the whole class know."
"Uh…yes m'am."
Julian chucked an eraser at Eriol, "OUCH! WHAT IN THE – "
"The teacher is a male, not a female. Call him 'sir', next time, not 'madam,'" Julian whispered loudly, causing the whole class to crack up once again.
"Eriol!" the teacher shouted, causing the class to immediately stop laughing and Eriol is shrink down in his seat.
"Now, to the news. I'm delighted to say that we have 2 new students in our class. Everyone, please welcome Miss Sakura Kinomoto and Miss Tomoyo Daidouji."
The girl on the left had auburn locks, and stunningly fascinating emerald eyes. But her clothes were another matter. She was wearing a black and white striped dress, something out of the 50's. The girl on the left had dark shiny hair and amethyst eyes. She too, looked weird, in her baggy tracksuit pants and her fluffy rabbit top.
"Now, Miss Kinomoto, please sit in front of Mr. Li. Syaoran, please raise your arm. Miss Daidouji, please sit a desk across Miss Kinomoto, the one in front of the class comedian Eriol."
"Ar, thanks sir. I feel privileged that you acknowledge me," Eriol yelled out.
Syaoran obediently raised his arm. The girl just gave him one look in the eye and sat down. And that was about all that happened during form. So Syaoran resumed looking out the window, not wanting to watch the teacher have a blast at Eriol.
"Man, did you see how hot that girl who was sitting in front of you?" Eriol asked excitedly at lunch.
The guys all tuned in, except Syaoran. He had enough of the girl in front of her. Staring at the back of her head for 4 periods made him not interested at all.
"You know, that Kinomoto has a big head," Syaoaran added in the conversation.
"Now I mean it, seriously, Chiharu is like hot, but like that Sakura girl, whoah, she is like hot."
Julian yawned and said "What's the difference?"
"Now look – " Eriol started but Syaoran cut in.
"Wait Eriol, aren't you meant to be interested in Julian?"
Syaoran and Eriol cracked up, while Julian was enraged that Syaoran still considered Eriol to be an item.
"HEY! Nothing happened. It was just a fling," Julian argued. Baka Julian, it wasn't even a fling!
"Hey Syaoran," a voice said behind them.
"Hi Chiharu," Eriol said cheerfully.
Chiharu gave Eriol a withering look, that read 'How dare you talk to me,' but apparently had some other things on her mind. She ignored Eriol and said, "What's up with the new girls?"
All three boys and Chiharu looked over at Sakura and Tomoyo, who were sitting on their own and talking among themselves.
"I mean, seriously, they have NO fashion sense. So why are you guys even bothering talking about them?" she asked.
"Because they are something you aren't – HOT," Eriol replied.
Chiharu gave him another withered look and stalked off to her own friends.
"But I do agree with you on the fashion sense thing," Eriol called out after her, hoping he didn't offend her.
"Nice one. I dunno how I am supposed to survive with her sweet talk," Syaoran sighed.
"Man, sitting together, they look like they're from the zoo! A zebra and a rabbit..." Julian commented, making the boys all laugh.
"Hey Syaoran, let's go up and talk to them," Eriol said excited. They were still at lunch, but for the past 1o minutes, the two boys have been talking about nothing apart from the two girls. Julian had gone somewhere unknown [my guess is that he wanted to get away from a particular homo...]
"Ok" the two boys walked up to the table with Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Hi, um…I'm Eriol and this here is my good friend Syaoran," Eriol said to Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Hi" Sakura said, smiling as though she wished she would be anywhere but here.
"Syaoran!" someone called from across the room.
"Eriol, let's go," Syaoran hissed and dragged him over.
"Bye!!" Tomoyo yelled, and then muttered to Sakura, "Hope you go to Hell."
"Not much of a welcome, huh?" Eriol said.
Chiharu, who was there said, "I told you they won't talk. They're so up themselves, seriously. No wonder why they have no friends."
"Well, I don't see YOU talking to them," Syaoran pointed out.
"Hey, I don't hang around losers. They just don't fit in," Chiharu said.
"Like you do?" Syaoran muttered.
"Get lost, Syaoran," Chiharu said.
"You know you can never stay away from me baby," Eriol finished off for Syaoran.
"Ok class, this is something where you work with pairs. You must be able to analyze the text and answer the questions."
"And wait," the teacher said, as she saw the girls pair up with the girls and the guys pair up with the guys, "You must work with someone the opposite gender."
Everyone groaned.
Syaoran was bombarded by many looks from girls. He knew that they wanted to work with him. Especially Chiharu. But seeing that all these girls were lined up with him and refused to go with another, the teacher paired up the pairs. The only girls that weren't lining up for Syaoran was Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji. As fate would have it, Syaoran ended up with Sakura.
"Just my luck," Syaoran groaned.
"Great...Tomoyo, I thought you sent them to Hell...?"
"Ok, now let's start working."
Sakura turned around to face Syaoran. It took them 1o minutes before they started talking about the extract.
"Like Atticus had a choice. He was a goner," Syaoran muttered.
"But at least he showed compassion as a man to Tom," Sakura argued.
"Yeah, well, I doubt I'd called that compassion. In the end he lost hope."
"Yeah, well, he's like you then. Giving up hope on question 3," Sakura joked.
Syaoran must've been really dazed and thinking of what Chiharu said because he made the most stupid mistake.
"Yeah, well, that means that you are like Tom, someone who just doesn't fit in."
If anyone is interested, the comprehension piece they are working on is 'To kill a mockingbird'. I know it is a crappy chapter, but best to get all the detail in. I hope you all like this chapter, and if so, please RR. Wait til you read chapter 7...it's sooo funny!
