Are You Done Yet?

A/N: Har har. I'm trying my best to update more frequently, but... well, you know. School. ): I really hate it.?

I also want to apologize for the numerous mistakes in the previous chapter! It was uploaded that way, the uploading thing keeps on messing up my spaces between words. D:

Chapter 2 : Jumping Into Conclusions?

(SAKURA)

During lunch, I sat with Tomoyo and some other girls. Chiharu, Rika, and all these girls' names I can never remember. Turns out Tomoyo's one of the most popular girls in the school, except for this bitch group at the other end of the cafeteria, where this one girl kept on shooting glares at our table.

"What d'you think, Saku?" Tomoyo asked, grinning at me. I blinked, and looked at her excited expression. I know that expression. All too well, I noted. Whatever she had in mind it must be bad. And to add to the thought, there was Eriol and Syaoran, one with a easygoing smile and another smirking like there's no tomorrow.

Uh oh.

I giggled nervously. "Uh, Tomoyo, I think I'll just go and put my tray away, then go to the kiosk and buy something to eat... 'Cause well, you know, the food here isn't all that good, and I heard the kiosk's chocolate chip cookies and pies were really good, or more like they bought it off somewhere, so yeah... I'll just go now, before the lunch ladies clear the -"

"Sakura," Tomoyo narrowed her eyes at me, the smile now gone. "You're not running away from me, are you?"

I faked a surprised look, my eyes widening. "Why, of course not! Why would I run away from my best friend?"

Rika laughed. "No offense, Sakura - but you're not the best actress in this school." I kicked her under the table. "Ow!"

"So if you're not running away from me, you're running away from something else..."

"Tomoyo," I glared at her, "I'm not running away from anything. I just want to buy a pie, if I can -"

"I know my best friend. I know who you've rejected to." Slowly, I inched away, eyeing her nervously. "I know who you haven't said yes to. I know where you live. I know who you've cheated on -"

"Cheated on?" I blurted out, shooting her a evil look. "I haven't said yes to anyone, so how am I supposed to cheat on them?"

Tomoyo ignored my comment. "I know why you brush your teeth four times a day. I know why you hate heights. I know why Touya didn't -"

"Okay, I think they get - the - point."

Syaoran, however, took this oppurtunity to torture me. As usual. "Four times a day, huh? So that was where the minty smell was coming from." I flushed.

I regret having Tomoyo as my best friend. I mean, I don't regret it, but I hate it how she knows me so well - too damn well, I might add. So when she noticed my red expression and Syaoran's cocky smile, she immediately picked up what was going on. "Hold on," she leaned forward at me. I backed away. "I can't even smell her minty breath even over here." She leaned in more, until she was practically kissing my cheek - the way Syaoran had. Except, of course, his lipis actually touched my skin, but Tomoyo was -

"Aha!" she smiled at me, and leaned forward, to Chiharu. "Want to know something?"

Chiharu grinned. "I'm all ears."

"It may be a slight prediction... or then again, it may have happened." Tomoyo was grinning from ear to ear. "He kissed her!" she semi-shrieked, clapping her hands together. "HOHOHOHOHO!" (A/N: A classic Tomoyo moment. XD)

"TOMOYO!" I sucked in my breath, froze, and buried my face in my hands. I could feel every body's stare on me, and it was freaking me out. What did I do to deserve this kind of a friend?

"Uh, Tomoyo..." I could hear Eriol chuckling nervously. "I think that was a bit too loud..."

Tomoyo grinned. "Oh come on, Eriol! I didn't mention any names, it could be anyone on this table!" She paused. "So did you two really kiss?"

Sliding down further in my seat, I glared at Tomoyo through my finger gaps. "I didn't kiss him. I did not. I would never kiss such a low-life, impossible, conceited, self-absorbed, annoying, wimpy, little, pathetic, moronic -"

"And you're just the pretty little girl, huh?" Syaoran raised an eyebrow at me.

"You kissed this pretty little girl!" Realisation hit me when the words escaped from my mouth. No, I did not just say that. Because if I did, then Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, and all these girls would -

"HOW KAWAIIIIIIIIII!" my girl friends shrieked, jumping up and down. "Tomoyo, you should've been there with your video camera!" Keiko, with a bubbly spirit identical to Tomoyo, exclaimed. "Why weren't you there!"

"Why wasn't I there!" Tomoyo kept on muttering to herself, frantically waving her hands around. "I'm supposed to be the school photographer and video taker! I can't just let this happen! Wait - SAKURA!"

Damn. So she caught me trying to sneak away, huh? I tried to shoot Syaoran an accusing glare, but he was no where to be seen. This is so unfair. Syaoran gets to slip away, while I get to have a big mouthed best friend. My first day is just going great, isn't it? Before I could turn around and make my way towards Tomoyo's torture table, a hand covered my mouth and pulled me back quickly into god knows where. I panicked, and tried to kick my 'kidnapper', but failed doing so. Wriggling and trying to scream didn't help either. This guy had a firm grip on me.

"Ow - stop moving, would - Sakura!" Recognizing the voice, I groaned into his hand.

"You!" I glared at Syaoran. "What the hell did you do that for!"

He shrugged, hands in his pockets. "Thought I'd save you from the table."

"Save me?" I snorted. "What are you now, my knight in shining armour? And how would you know, having Tomoyo as a best friend?"

"Eriol," was all he said.

"Right," I straightened, heading towards the door. "I better go now."

Why is he following me?

I turned around, and he stopped short. Looking up at him, I crossed my arms. "Damn. How tall are you?"

"About a foot taller, why? Am I too tall for you?"

I flushed. "You're way too tall. Why do you have to be so tall?"

"What is your problem with height?" he chuckled, looking down at me.

"Forget it," I muttered. Two more periods, and I'm off, back home.

Oh, wait. I still have to suffer from Syaoran's presencefor the yearbook project. Wincing at the thought, I suddenly remembered. What exactly was Tomoyo going to tell me a few minutes ago?

(AFTER SCHOOL)

"So, Kura, ready to go?" Eriol asked me as the bell rang, signalling the end of social studies. I looked at him oddly. "If you mean ready to takea jerk home, then the answer would be no, I'm not."

He laughed, swinging his bag over his shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll make it through. Especially with me and Tomoyo there."

"You and Tomoyo? But I'm only partners with Syaoran," I frowned. "Did Mr K change it into groups?"

"Tomoyo didn't tell you?" Eriol said, a light shock coming over his face as he looked at me. "Oh yeah, with the whole lunch commotion. But don't worry," he grinned, alarmingly reminding me of Tomoyo, "I'm sure you'll live it through."

I gritted my teeth and glared at him, hands on my hips. "Well, I'm guessing you've never met my brother before, have you? He'll have my head if he sees who I'm bringing home with me."

Eriol shrugged. "Your friends? I see no harm in that."

"Maybe you don't, but you don't have a older overprotective brother who thinks his credit card is more important than his sister."

"I saved you from that, didn't I?" I turned, and rolled my eyes at Syaoran's face. "Oh c'mon, Kura. You gotta admit it, I was your knight in shining armor."

"Just because you seem to be just that to the rest of the girls in this damned school doesn't mean that I'm part of the 'girl group,'" I snapped at him.

Here's the thing. I hate preps. In MY point of view, a prep is someone who brushes her hair 24/7, someone who goes all valley-girl when talking, and basically someone, at the age of 17, doesn't know where the pulse is. Honestly. It's surprising how stupid some so-called smart people would be, or how they can be popular is just a wonder. Tomoyo, although she's one of the most popular girls in the school, isn't a prep. Nope. Well, I'll admit shesometimes can be - God help me - but then again, you can't just ditch your best friend like that. I've always been one of those 'semi-outcasted' people, and I'll be grateful if I can stay like that. Tomoyo, on the other hand, calls me popular.

So you'd think, having a best friend who's as popular as Britney in a crowd, makes THE best friend, popular too. Am I? Nope. I'm no more popular than a potato. Never in a girl crowd. WHY WAS THERE SUCH A THING AS POPULARITY INVENTED!

Syaoran Li, obviously, the most popular guy at school, is just having fun teasing me about it. About everything, it seems like. And clearly, he loves attention, or else he wouldn't be a) walking down the hall with me, or b) kiss me in the morning.

I growled in frustration when I realized Touya wasn't picking me up. Well, there's no way that I'm going into HIS car. I'd rather take Tomoyo's or Eriol's any time. Speaking of Tomoyo, where the HELL is she! I want this to get over with as soon as possible.

"Hey Eriol, where's your lady love?" Syaoran turned to him, hands in pockets.

Eriol shrugged, putting his bag down. "I'll go get her, you two wait here." And with that, he ran off, with me staring in shock at his back. How can he do this to me?

"So," Syaoran cleared his throat, looking skywards. "How's your fir -"

"Hey, Syaooo," a girl came up to him and clutch his arm, looking up at him adoringly. "Are we still going this Saturday?"

He looked at the girl. "I'm sorry, do I know you?"

"It's Audrey, sweetie," she giggled hysterically, patting his cheek. "Don't you remember? How can you forget me?"

I rolled my eyes. Prep or no prep, I hate bitches. And this one, by just looking at her, was as annoying as hell.

"Sorry, Audrey," he grinned at me. "I'm going with Kura here, all weekend." Before I could say anything, he slung his arm around my shouldersand shook free of this Audrey slut.

"Wha -"

"Love to chat all day, but we gotta go," Syaoran grabbed Eriol's bag, and started to steer me away. "Can't worry brother dearest."

"Syaoran," I managed to say through gritted teeth, "what the hell is wrong with you? I am NOT gonna spend my whole weekend with YOU."

Syaoran looked at me like I was crazy. "Well, sorry to put your hopes down, but -"

"Sorry to put YOUR hopes down, but just because I was standing next to you doesn't mean that you can make up random shit," I yanked his arm off, and stomped away.

Before I could get a few meters away from him though, he grabbed my arm. "Look, I didn't mean to, you were just right there, so I thought -"

"What YOU thought," I glared at him. What HE THOUGHT. What's wrong with this guy? "All you ever think about is yourself, Syaoran Li. Maybe you like rumors spreading around the school like wildfire about YOU and some new girl, but I'm not gonna slut around with anybody, real or not. If that's the kind of person you think I am, I'm sorry to say this, but I won't stoop as low as being an Audrey-wannabe."

(SYAORAN.)

Syaoran, you're an idiot. An absolute moron. An asshole, even. What did people say about thinking before you speak?

I watched her as she walked away, catching a glimpse of her vision blurring. Not only have I made a girl cry, I feel like punching myself for doing so. Well excuse me if she's so sensitive.

Excuse yourself for being so dumb!

I didn't mean to. Honestly.

Of course. Which is why you're still standing there.

It's not like she'd forgive me. Why would she, anyways?

How am I supposed to know? Apologize and find out yourself.

I already said sorry.

Because you didn't mean it. Now go.

What if she's gone? What if she really hates me now?

Why do you care?

I just do!I mean, I don't, why would I? She's just your everyday average girl.

JUST GO AND APOLOGIZE YOU MORON.

Cursing myself mentally, I started to head towards the direction Sakura ran off to. Before I could even reach 3 steps, I heard a small scream behind me. Wincing, I turned around and noticed Tomoyo running towards me, with Eriol behind her.

"SYAORAN LI!" I sighed in frustration as I heard Tomoyo's voice ring through the school's court yard.

"What - did - you - do - to - SAKURA!" Tomoyo yanked my collar and started to shake me violently. Damn, this girl has strength, I thought, choking. "I wanna know what you did to her, you loser!"

"LET GO OF ME!" I managed to choke out, and Eriol pulled his damned girlfriend away. "I didn't do anything to her! She ran off on her own, I had nothing to do with it -"

"Yes you did!" Tomoyo glared at me with her now fiery amethyst eyes. Crossing her arms, she continued to torture me with her theory. "I know Sakura! Whatever you did to her, I want you to go and apologize to her right now -"

"I'm going, I'm going!" I threw my hand sup in the air and started to walk down the road. It's surprising how smart people can be stupid. Like me. Argh. Off I go.

Now, where does she live again?
