"A Mid-Summer's Dream"
It was the last period of the day… and then when the bell rang…it would be the official start of summer vacation. Meanwhile, while class was still going on…a certain honey-blond haired girl was trying to stay awake in her last class.
'No! Must. Not. Sleep! Kimiko-sensei will be so mad at me. Geez, _why_ did I have to have _her_ for my _last_ period of the day?!' :sigh:
After thinking her thought…another voice popped-up in her head.
'You know Sakura-san…if you needed something to help keep you awake…you could have talked to me. I wouldn't have minded.'
Sakura slightly jumped at the person's voice in her head…that definitely got her to wake up.
'Hoeeeeeee! Eriol-kun! Geez…you _SCARED_ me!'
'Eh? Gomen, Sakura-san. I didn't mean to.'
Ever since a week ago…Eriol and Sakura had been telepathically conversing…though Sakura didn't get used to it yet. The first time he talked to her…she got scared out of her wits. She practically jumped out of her seat and screamed.
'It's alright Eriol-kun. It's just that I'm still not used to us taking this way though…but thanks for checking in on me! I surely would have fallen asleep if you hadn't started talking to me.'
'Well you're welcome Sakura-san. So…what are you doing tonight?'
'Nothing much…just surfin' the web and hanging out with Kero-chan. Why?'
'Oh…I was just wondering if you would like to have dinner with me tonight?'
'Hoe?! Really?! You want to have dinner with me tonight?!'
'Well…yeah…is there a problem with that?'
'Oh no! Of course not! I'm just surprised that you want to take me to dinner out of all the girls that you could have asked. I mean…it kind of sounds like a date…and …well….'
'It _is_ a _date_ Sakura-san…and I would be honored if you would go on a date with me.' He interrupted before she could finish what she was saying.
After hearing Eriol's statement, she furiously blushed.
'NANI?! You really wanna go on a _date_ with ME?!'
'Hai…Sakura-san. Now…could you please answer my question?'
Sakura was EXTATIC to say the least. Ever since Syaoran left to China, last year…she found herself falling in love with Eriol. Though she didn't know it…being the dense person she is…Eriol had fallen in love with her too. But…since Syaoran liked Sakura…Eriol left her alone…figuring that he would give his cute little descendant a chance with _his_ cherry blossom. But…since his little descendant was too shy and afraid…he just left, never telling Sakura how he really felt. Then one day…while Eriol and Sakura were talking…he asked her how she felt about Syaoran. He felt so relived after she told him that she only had a crush on Syaoran. But…his relief wasn't over because he still had to worry about all the other guys at school. Unlike Syaoran…Eriol didn't keep the guys away from her with death glares…he was too well mannered for that. Sakura was the most popular girl in their school and around town. Everyone liked her…and every guy wanted to claim her as his own.
'Hai! Hai! Eriol-kun…I would love to go to dinner with you!'
'Ah…arigato…I'll tell you when I'll pick you up later. The bell's about to ring.'
'Hoe!? Really?! The bell's going to ring soon? Wow! And I didn't even fall asleep in class! Arigato, Eriol-kun!'
'You're welcome, Sakura-san. Anytime.'
Rrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggggg!!!
Just as the bell rang…Sakura grabbed her bag and happily high-tailed it out of her classroom…too her locker.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ At the Juniors Locker Room ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey, Sakura-chan!" A voice called after Sakura as she opened her locker.
"Hoe? Oh hi, Tomoyo-chan!" The all too genki girl called out across the hall to her approaching best friend.
"Gosh, Sakura-chan…why were you in such a rush to get out of class? You left without me." Stated a curious Tomoyo.
Little did Sakura know that Tomoyo had an itch about why Sakura left the class in such a hurry…and not to mention that she noticed Sakura blushing in class.
"Gomen nasai! Tomoyo-chan…I didn't mean to leave you."
"It's alright Sakura-chan. So…why were you _blushing_ in class today?" Tomoyo slyly asked Sakura.
"Hoe?! You saw me blushing?!"
"Of course, Sakura-chan! I'm your best friend! I notice most things that other people don't …especially when you blush over _Eriol_." Stated a knowing Tomoyo.
"HOE! Shhhhhh!!! Not so loud Tomoyo-chan! How did you know that I was even blushing over Eriol-kun?" Sakura said completely dumbfounded and surprised.
"Well…first off…Eriol's the only guy you like at school Sakura-chan. Second off…you told me that you're in love with him…remember? And third off…Eriol-kun is the only one you blush about and around."
Sakura didn't say a thing…but just blushed a crimson red. And to this…Tomoyo could do only one thing. Yup you guessed it right. She whipped out her V8 and started to tape Sakura's blushing. Ah yes…good same ol' Tomoyo-chan.
"Oh-hohohohohohohoho! Really Sakura-chan…you're so…so….KAWAII!"
At this statement…Sakura sweat-dropped and forced her blush to go away.
"Really, Tomoyo-chan…you scare me sometimes."
Just then…Haga Yoshiko…a fellow classmate of Tomoyo and Sakura…approached the two young ladies.
"Oi! Sakura-san! Tomoyo-san!"
The two girls quickly turned around to see who was calling. After seeing who it was…Sakura groaned and made herself smile. She waved and he walked over to them.
"Konnichiwa, Yoshiko-san." Tomoyo and Sakura greeted.
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-san…Tomoyo-san. Oh and please call me Yoshi…I'm not used to people calling me by my full name."
"Ok. So, Yoshi-san…wassup?" inquired a knowing Tomoyo.
She knew why he was talking to them…but just wanted Yoshi to deal with the long wait of hearing Sakura's reply of either a yes or a no.
"Well…I was wondering if Sakura-san was doing anything today."
"Umm…well…actually, Yoshi-san…" Sakura started to say while thinking up a way to say that she was going on a date with Eriol that night.
She wasn't really good at refusing dates…and since she was nice…she would sometimes accept their offers. But this time, she _had_ to say no. She actually had the love of her life ask her out on a date…and she would _never_ turn him down for any other guy in the world. But still…it was hard because she didn't want to hurt Yoshi's feelings.
'But how can I do this in a nice way?' Sakura thought to herself.
'Oh-hohohohohoho! My poor Sakura-chan! Always being asked out by every guy that comes across her. Too bad the only guy she wants to go on a date with is constantly swarmed around by girls, that he can barely get a chance to even get near Sakura-chan.' Tomoyo sighed as she thought this.
Yupp…both Sakura and Eriol were the most popular people in the school. They were constantly mobbed by guys and girls from the whole school. They were both considered the ideal boyfriend/girlfriend. Still trying to think of a good way to tell Yoshi that she had a date with Eriol and that she couldn't do anything with him that day…Sakura desperately wished Eriol was there to save her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As all of this was going on…Eriol was on his way to meet Sakura. Even though it had only been a few minutes since he last talked to her…he missed her already…and it wasn't helping that tons of girls were getting in his way…to get to her.
"Eriol-kunnnnnnn!" a girl from Eriol's Chemistry class called while running towards him.
Eriol sighed and turned around to face another obstacle in his way to get to Sakura. Since Eriol was so polite, well mannered, and nice…he would find some spare time to heed to the person who called his attention.
"Konnichiwa Kirin-san. What is it that you called me for?"
"Well…I was just wondering if you were doing anything today…and if you weren't…I was wondering if you would want to go the movies with me?" she said while batting her eyelashes at him…_trying_ to look cute. (Keyword…trying…)
"Gomen nasai, Kirin-san. I have a date today, so I'm afraid that I'll have to decline from your offer. Now if you'll please excuse me…I have to go somewhere. Ja ne."
"Oh…alright…well….I guess that I'll see you around then. Ja." Kirin replied sadly.
Eriol turned around and walked to Sakura's locker. On his way…he saw her. He saw her…Tomoyo…and SOME OTHER GUY!
'Ah…yet another obstacle in my path.' He thought sarcastically. 'No doubt, it's another _IDIOT_ trying to ask _MY_ Sakura-chan on a date. He _better_ not be giving her a hard time.'
After that thought he briskly made his way over to Sakura.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Umm…well…" Sakura stammered while slowly loosing to her niceness…and a possibility of saying that she 'kind of' had nothing to do…for the afternoon.
"Well cause I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me today…you know…to kick off the beginning of summer vacation." Yoshi inquired.
'TOMOYO-CHAN!!! YOU DUMB BROAD! YOU'RE NOT EVEN HELPING ME OUT HERE!' Sakura angrily thought as she shot a murderous glare at Tomoyo who was just smiling and taping the whole thing.
'Oh-hohohohoho! Don't worry Sakura-chan…I see that Eriol-kun is coming our way and so… _he's_ going to rescue you! :sighs dreamily: 'How KAWAII!!!'
"Well Yoshi-san…" Sakura started to say but was cut off by a (sexy) deep voice.
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-san." Eriol said sweetly from behind Sakura.
At the sudden hearing of his voice Sakura turned around and jumped onto him giving him a huge hug.
'Oh my gosh! You saved me!' Sakura thought as she hugged him tightly.
Eriol got so surprised from Sakura's sudden action that it took him a while to return her embrace. Then…after a couple of seconds…Sakura finally realized what she did and let go of Eriol.
"Gomen, Eriol-kun." Sakura said while looking at the floor that held her utmost attention.
"It's alright, Sakura-chan." Eriol soothed as he turned his attention toward the two other people who were talking to Sakura.
"Hmmm…Sakura-chan…why are you facing the floor??? Don't you wanna look at Eriol-kun? Could it be that you don't want Eriol-kun to see that slight pink blush on your face…awww…maybe it's just your make-up…but Sakura-chan…you _don't_ wear blush."
Tomoyo said evilly while giving an evil smirk and a soft evil laugh that was soft enough for only Sakura to hear.
"Shut-up Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura hissed through clenched teeth while glaring daggers at Tomoyo.
Just then…Tomoyo couldn't take it anymore and laughed insanely.
"OH-HOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"
SMACK!
"Itai!" Tomoyo wailed.
"Tomoyo-chan! God! What's _wrong_ with you!!!! Don't you know how to shut-up!" Sakura yelled after smacking Tomoyo in the back of the head.
Tomoyo sweat-dropped…while Yoshi and Eriol held surprised faces and had HUGE sweat-drops down their heads.
"Ok, ok…calm down Sakura-chan…gomen." Tomoyo said while rubbing the back of her hurting head.
"Ok…anyway…konnichiwa Haga-san…Tomoyo-chan." Eriol greeted.
"Konnichiwa Hiiragizawa-san." Yoshi said in an icy tone.
Yoshi was furious at Eriol for ruining Sakura's reply to his question. He was also furious for the fact that Sakura had flung herself at Eriol…giving him a hug.
'That should have been _me_! Damn it! Damn you Hiiragizawa.'
"So…what were you guys talking about?" Eriol asked curiously while glancing at Yoshi.
Tomoyo just smiled and kept on taping the moment. Yoshi glared at Eriol and then turned to Sakura.
"So, Sakura-san…will you be going with me on a _date_ today?" Yoshi asked while emphasizing the word date and shooting a triumphant look at Eriol.
'Heh…let's see who'll be the one Sakura will have her arms around now.'
"I'm sorry to say Haga-san…but Sakura has a date with me tonight. Ne, Sakura?" Eriol stated while smiling at Sakura and not taking his eyes off of her.
Sakura blushed at his intense and tender stare.
'What! Did he just say Sakura…and not Sakura-SAN?'
"Is that true Sakura-san?" Yoshi asked disbelievingly.
"Well…yes. Gomen, Yoshi-san." Sakura looked at him and felt bad because she saw the sad and hurt look on his face.
"Well, ok then…I guess I'll see ya around, Sakura-san. Ja ne." Yoshi said as he walked away from the group.
Sakura felt really bad for causing Yoshi to be sad…but she had to…she couldn't just cancel her date with the guy she loved. As Sakura pondered about her guilt, Eriol pulled out a beautiful flower that was white at the bottom and turned into a deep shade of pink at the tips, out of no where and handed it to Sakura.
"Here, Sakura-san."
Well…there goes chapter 1! For those peoples who read all the way this the end of this…THANK YOU!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME! Arigato!!! :bows deeply: So…did you like it…hate it…any suggestions??? Oh yes…and again…if this was any good…to the smallest degree…please don't hesitate to review! Well…till then…Ja!
