CHAPTER 2

"BRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGG!!!" the school bell, which signaled the end of lunchtime, rang.

'Good timing! At least I don't need choose between these two freaks.' I said to myself in relief. Then, I said to them: "Well, I think tour time is over. Let's get going." I couldn't help let a sarcastic smile appear on my face.

"Oh, okay…" Meilin answered with a thwarted facial expression.

We hurriedly went to our next class.

-Fasting forward the time…-

Tomoyo's POV

"Hey Tomo." Eriol called out in a whisper and threw at me a small piece of crumpled paper.

Being curious, I slowly opened it to see what was written. I saw a drawing, which kind of looked like me. Then I turned to Eriol with a 'what's-up-with-this' look while showing it to him.

His face flushed and he whispered, "No-not that! The other side."

"Oh, okay." I answered getting his message. I turn the paper backwards and saw a note that read:

Hey! Let's go to the next class together.

Eli

After reading his note, I sent him a silent okay with a nod of my head. He smiled warmly as a sign of response.

Then, "BRRRIIIIINNNNG!!!", the school bell rang once more.

Excitedly, the students hurriedly packed their belongings and went out of their classrooms.

Then, Eriol came to me and said, "Whew! Why are people on the rush?" I smiled at his attempt at a joke. Then, he took some of my things from my arms.

"Thanks, bestie!" I exclaimed, my smile widening.

We went out the classroom side by side to go to our next class - Chemistry.

"You know, I didn't imagine that I would enjoy the place so easily." Eriol said all the sudden.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"Ah… It's just… What I mean to say is, I wouldn't get used to the place that easily without your help." He stammered.

"I don't mind at all." I answered him. 'It's because you're the one who owns my heart.' I mentally continued.

The next discussions we had were so sweet, it was like we were couples! Then all of the sudden, Eriol had bumped to a girl. The girl was wearing a white tank top partnered with a white mini skirt.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you coming. Are you okay?" Eriol asked the girl. He then, helps the girl to pick up her things.

The last bell rang, "BBRRRINNNGG!!!" that signaled the last five minutes before class.

"Hey, Eriol! That was the last bell, we better get going!" I said aloud with a tone of insecurity.

But it seemed as if Eriol didn't even care about what I had said. He was too busy entertaining the flirt he had bumped into.

I got somewhat jealous of her and just walked to chemistry class by myself, stomping in irritation.

'Why is he like that? I am just here, but why does he still look around for other whores?' I asked myself angrily.

The next class that we had together was totally cold because I kept on avoiding him. He tried all means to get my attention: he threw me notes and sent text messages, but I still didn't look at him.

At last, we were dismissed. I couldn't be happier. Wanting to avoid Eriol, I hastily went to the cherry blossom park of our school ground. I promised Sakura to meet her there as well.

Patiently, I sat down on an old-looking bench. Sakura had me waiting for a couple of minutes; she hadn't changed at all.

'Why isn't she here yet?' I asked myself growing anxious about her and then continued with a smile, 'Well, it isn't her if she is on time. She is always late.'

Out of nowhere, I heard some footsteps coming towards me. I thought that it was Sakura so I turned around to face her with a smile on my face but when I saw who it was, my smile turned upside down.

"Why are you here, Hirazigawa?" I demanded coldly.

"Hey, we're best friends, right? But what is with Hirazigawa?" Eriol asked me back, confused.

I turned back at him and sat down at the bench again. He went to sit beside me and began, "What's wrong with you? Have I done something wrong?"

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you coming. Are you okay?" I mocked his words from earlier that day.

"Is that the reason why you're mad at me?" he questioned, one eyebrow raised.

There was a moment of silence, and then Eli decided to talk again, "So are you saying that you actually like me and that's why you got jealous?"

"No way! You're too airy you know! Don't think that every girl likes you!" I exclaimed angrily.

"You seem jealous to me." he stated, somewhat matter-of-factly .

"How can I be jealous?! I'm not! It's just, when you bumped into that girl, it's like that you had forgotten about me. I was talking to you but you ignored me; just like I was invisible." I explained to him.

"Oh, really? Did I do that to you?" He inquired like an innocent child who did no wrong.

I just glared at him, not convinced by his childish act.

He realized this and stopped pretending. "Okay, okay. I'll make it up to you. I'll bring you to one of the hippest party." He was serious now.

"Honto ne?" I asked him, trying to hide excitement but failed miserably.

"Of course! And you can also bring some friends of yours." He said with a grin on his face. "I'll pick you guys at your dorm at seven."

"Okay."

-:- Seven in the evening… -:-

Sakura's POV

I was looking to the mirror while putting on my gold, dangling earrings, "Do you mean that even the brat is coming with us?" I asked Tomoyo, not bothering to hide my displeasure.

"Well, hello! Eriol and Syaoran are cousins! And he is just new to the neighborhood so he needs to have some acquaintances." Tomoyo explained like it was so obvious.

"Okay fine, whatever you say. But don't you even expect me to assist him the whole time." I said while projecting in the mirror. I was wearing a black tube with netted vest on top matched with black knee-high pants.

Then a knock came at our door.

"It might be them." Tomoyo screeched excitedly. Then she ran to the door and opened it.

When she opened the door, Eriol was there to greet her.

"Come in first, my other friend might be arriving soon." Tomoyo said slyly. Eriol took his seat on the pink leopard-printed couch.

Then another knock came on the door. This time, I was the one who opened the door. I saw Naoko outside. She wore something simple, as always.

"I think we are all ready to go now." Tomoyo said; she was uncharacteristically hyper.

We left the dorm building. Once out, I saw a black CRV waiting for us. In the passenger seat, I saw Syaoran was there.

Eriol opened the car door for the three of us like the gentleman he was. One at a time, we came in and sat on the leather couch. The first thing that I smelled was a fragrance that was so nice and soothing. I was sure it wasn't the car so maybe it was that brat.

It took us almost half an hour to arrive at the venue of the party.

When I opened the car door, the loud music was what greeted my ears.

I could see that Tomoyo was eager to join the party however the brat looked otherwise. I wasn't really excited on going to the party either because I didn't know any of the guys invited.

I searched for an empty table that we could sit in. When I saw one, I dragged Naoko along with me. Syaoran also sat down on the table where we were. But Eriol and Tomoyo went at the bar of the house talking and laughing together.

'Oh, man! Of all the people I have to be with, why is it the brat?' I asked myself aggravated.

Then all of the sudden, the people were more noisy and excited. They were all shouting, "STB! STB! STB!"

"What's STB?" Naoko asked with innocent curiosity.

"STB means spin the bottle." I said knowingly.

"Oh…" Naoko said in understanding.

"Let's join them!" I said with a cynical glint in my eyes. Then I pulled Naoko to the circle of people.

The host of the party spoke then, "Now, who do you want to be the next person to be in the closet?"

The crowd got even wilder and shouted, "Natsume Yuutaka, Natsume Yuutaka, Natsume Yuutaka!"

The captain ball of the basketball varsity was the one to spin the bottle. Almost all the girls were so thrilled on who would be the lucky girl who got to be with him in the closet.

Natsume walked inside the circle of people and started to spin the bottle.

The bottle span rapidly. The crowd tensed. And gradually the bottle slowed down. Slowly… slowly… and slowly… And finally, the bottle decided to stop.

Naoko's POV

The bottle was slowing down. Then, after a few more spins the bottle stopped pointing to me. The people in the circle looked at me in complete surprise while all of the members of his fan club glared at me enviously. I was getting conscious, because most of the people were staring at me. I couldn't help it. I didn't ask for it to happen. I stood up and was about to walk out, when suddenly some guys held me by the shoulders and brought me to the closet.

One of the guys said, "Come on, don't be shy. I know that you also like Natsume." And the other guy opened the closet door and pushed me inside. After that, the so-called Natsume went in with me. But before the door was closed, one guy told Natsume, "Good luck, dude!"

Being inside the closet was so uncomfortable. The closet was just about three keyboards wide, so were practically hugging each other! I couldn't help but be scared at what would happen. Then, he suddenly spoke, "What are you waiting for? Let's get this started." He closed his eyes and bent down a little. I couldn't do anything, so I decided to just close my eyes and wait for what to happen next. I suddenly felt his mouth against my forehead but it was as quick as it had come. I opened my eyes in astonishment.

"I just felt that you aren't ready for something so...wild. And you are just forced to do things." He said and smiled at me.

"Y-yeah." I stuttered, blushing at his kindness.

"I'm so sorry." He apologized sincerely.

"Huh? For what?" I asked puzzled.

"I know that I have troubled you. And if I hadn't spun the bottle, you wouldn't really be forced to be in here." He explained while sitting down on the floor.

"Oh… It's okay. Don't worry; I'm not mad at you. You look so popular." I said starting a conversation.

"Well, kinda. My dad expects me to follow his steps to be a great sporty guy. By the way I'm Natsume Yuutaka. Nice to meet you...uh?" He said offering his right hand for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Naoko." I said while reaching out for his hand.

"Oh, so you're Naoko from the Section 2-A? I heard that you're a top student." He said, amused.

"Really?" I asked him innocently. "You're from section 3-A, right?"

"Yeah."

"But I thought that sporty people are not that smart to be in good sections." I had blurted all of the sudden.

"Of course, no! I actually was just forced to join in the varsity. I really wanted to be known for my intelligence not because I'm a hunk or whatsoever. But people just see me as a Mr. MVP." Natsume defended and looked down like he was offended or something.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't think first before saying things." I apologized to him.

"It's okay. By the way, how come you're here in the party? I didn't think that a diligent student like yourself would go to a liberated place like this."

"Actually, a friend of mine dragged me to this party because she doesn't want to be all alone with her school buddy."

"Oh… If you want you can have my number and I'll take yours."

"Sure!" I said and hand him my phone while he handed his to me. We saved our numbers in each others phone and took a picture of us.

Just then, I heard a shout that came from outside, "Time's up!" And in just a split second the door of the closet opened up. And people were yelling and whistling at them.

"See you then!" He said.

Then the two guys who dragged me earlier went near him and asked eagerly. "Tell us the whole story of what happened inside."

"Dude, nothing happened! And besides I'm not like you guys that are so wild and would just fuck up with any girl wearing a skirt." He joked out.

I was still staring at him when Sakura tapped me in the shoulders and stumbled my thoughts.

Tomoyo's POV

The crowd was getting louder. They were shouting for Natsume to spin the bottle. 'Why do they get that excited over that game?' I asked myself. Then, I returned my gaze to Eriol who was playing with the ice with the straw. I decided to start up a conversation, "So… Now what?" I asked him.

Eriol stopped playing with his drink and looked at me and said, "Getting bored, are you?"

"Well, sorta." I answered back and made a little giggle.

I heard someone yell out, "Time's up!" And that caught my attention so I looked at the door of the closet. Then the crowd got wild again, they have been cheering for Natsume and Naoko getting out of the closet, 'Well, lucky her. She had a nice experience and at least seemed to enjoy it. Her luck isn't like mine.' I thought and took a quick glance at Eriol with some of the known sluts of the campus. 'Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

Sakura's POV

"Hey girl, nice going there! Lucky you! You know, I envy you because you had your own time with one of the cuties of the campus." I screeched excitedly. And we started to walk back to our table.

She didn't say anything, maybe she was still speechless from what had happened. When we reached the table I asked her over and over again on what had happen inside but she wouldn't answer me. She just sighed heavily and said to me plainly, "Nothing happened."

"WHAT?! You must be kidding me. That's so impossible for a hunk like him not make out." I said really shocked and with a puzzled face.

"Yes, you heard me right."

I suddenly stood up. She thought that I was angry or so that she asked me, "Hey, where are you going? Are you mad?"

"Of course not! I'm not that shallow to be angry with you. I just felt kind of thirsty. And maybe I'll go to the bathroom, too. So, what do you want?" I asked with a simple smile.

"I want a light beer." Syaoran suddenly interrupted in our conversation.

"FYI… I didn't ask you. The one I asked was Naoko." I said coldly accompanied with a cold glare.

"Kura… Don't be so rude. You should even entertain him because you're his school buddy. Maybe I can have Pepsi." she said lowering the tension between me and the gaki.

I heaved a heavy sigh and said, "Well, if it isn't for you, I won't entertain that guy." and started to walk away from the distressing place she had been to. I wandered around the place and asked some people where I could possibly find some drinks, "Excuse me, uh… I was wondering, where can I get some drinks?" I asked a guy over the bar.

"What kind of drinks are you looking for? A ladies drink or the light ones?" the guy wearing a waiter suit asked me in response while still juggling some bottle of wines.

"Just the light ones." I answered plainly as I watched him playing with the bottles in awe.

"Take the flight of stairs and turn left. Enter the fourth room you can see." he said and poured some of red wines to the glass of the guy beside me.

'Why do all the people here look so weird and act like weirdoes?' I asked myself as I took the stairs. 'Which room should I enter again?' I asked myself as I reached the last step of the stairs. 'Guess I'll just have to go through them all.' I opted.

I held the first room's knob and sighed, "Here I go… 1… 2… 3…" I twisted it and opened the door slowly. As the room was exposed, things flooded onto me. That wasn't a room it was a closet or a messy stock room to be more specific.

I left the closet and proceeded to the next door I saw. 'I wish this isn't a room full of useless stuffs that would spill on me.' I prayed to all the gods I knew. "Here I am again. In 1, 2, 3.." and twisted the knob. I closed my eyes to wait for anything that might fall on me, but to my surprise I didn't feel anything on me so I decided to open my eyes slowly and instead, I saw an empty room. It was deserted with comprised only of air.

I sighed in relief that I was safe in the room I opened up. Though I still haven't found the room I was looking for.

'How many rooms do I still have to enter before I can find the one I was looking for?' I asked myself getting tired by walking all around the place.

I turned the doorknob of the 3rd door without any second thoughts and as the room was exposed, I saw a ghastly sight to bear. A guy was on top of a slut-like girl making out breathlessly. I was dumb-found by the awful scene before me. Then, the two stopped when they noticed me.

"Want to join us?" The guy said as he examined me from head to toe.

The girl he was making love with looks like she was jealous or something. She suddenly grabbed a pillow near her and threw it toward me. I easily dodged the coming pillow and apologized to them and quickly closed the room. "My gosh! What kind of party have I gone to?! All people here look like animals that have escaped from a zoo.' I worriedly said to myself as I leaned on the door, 'I should be better careful on the next room I'm going to enter.' I reminded myself.

I stood up and walked to the next door. But this time, I knocked first on the door. After awhile, there was no answer so I decided to open it up. I slowly opened the door and saw a colorful room. There are many photos hanging on the wall of different sites. "Wow!" was all I could say about the greatness of the place. Then, when I looked at the corner of the room, I saw a small refrigerator full of sodas and beers. I took two pepsi and one light beer.

I felt that my throat was crying for liquid so I opened a can of orange soda and drank some. 'Humm… maybe the owner of the room won't mind if I will take a look on some of his photos.

I walked near a table drawer and took the picture frame on it. There is a photo of Taj Mahal. 'The owner of this might be a great traveler. I envy him!" I squealed out as I adored the photos he had.

Then suddenly I heard the door slammed shut. "Who are you?! What are you doing in here?!" I saw a blonde haired guy, just the same age as I was, yell angrily.

"uh.. I… I'm sorry…" I bowed down to him and continued, "I was just looking for some sodas and I was amazed by your photo collection. Gomen." I said while I bowed down repeatedly.

I heard a soft laugh coming from him and he said, "I was just kidding you know." He was approaching me then. "By the way, my name is James. And you must be Kinomoto Sakura, right?" he asked while handing out his right hand to me.

I graciously accepted his hand and said, "Yes, you're correct. Nice to meet you, James."

"Why don't we have a toast for a new friendship?" he said as he raised his can of beer.

And as for me, I easily rode on with his plan and had a toast with him and drank the whole can of soda I had in my hands.

As I finished my drink we had a nice conversation about his great travels and school life. Then after awhile, I felt kinda funny. My head was aching badly and my vision was getting unclear.

"Are you okay?" James asked me, feigning anxiety.

"Uh.. I feel like my head is spinning. I don't know why" I said as I held unto my head.

"You can rest here at my bed first while I'll go to find you're companions." he said reassuringly.

As I was about to take a step to the bed, my consciousness suddenly slipped. I did not know what happened next.
