Pretending or not
Chapter 3: Whole schools reaction
Sakura hadn't slept at all but ended up going to school anyway. Touya had no work that day and there was no way she was going to stay anywhere near him. The second she got to school she called Syaoran's cell phone.
"Where are you?" she asked, fighting back tears.
#The back field. What's wrong Sakura?# he asked.
"I'll tell you later. Stay where you are." she said then hung up.
She got to him within minutes and the second she saw Syaoran the tears started to stream down her face again. He knew right away that Touya had yelled at her again because this had happened twice before. He walked straight to her and hugged her tightly. She couldn't do anything but hug him back.
"I'm sorry. I should of made you go home sooner. How long are you grounded for?" he asked.
"He didn't say he just said I was grounded until further notice." she sniffed between tears.
"Listen. Stop crying. It's not worth it to be upset."
"But I said something and I don't think I can take it back."
"What? What did you say?"
"I said I didn't want to live with him and I brought up mom and dad. I think he might actually send me away after that."
Syaoran remembered every detail of when her parents died. They were celebrating Sakura's 9th birthday at his house and her parents were suppose to come but on their way a drunk driver pushed them off a bridge and they crashed into nothing but rock. They died almost emidiately and Touya, who was 16 at the time, was to take care of her.
"He won't send you away. You're the only one he has and he truly needs you. You know that."
Sakura stopped crying after a while. Syaoran wiped the remaning tears away and dried her face.
"We got to hurry, it's about the time that you get malled by guys." he smiled.
"You're right." she laughed.
They linked hands and headed to the front of the school. People all around were staring at them and shocked when they saw them together. No fan guys bugged her but a few girls and all her friends said hi.
"It worked." she whispered to him.
"Yeah it did." he smiled.
Just then Tomoyo ran towards them.
"OH MY GAWD! YOU GUYS ARE SO KAWAII! YOU GUYS LOOK PERFECT TOGETHER!" she screamed in their faces. "SAKURA! YOU NEED TO LET ME MAKE YOU GUYS MATCHING OUTFITS! I WOULD LOVE TO-"
"WE GET IT!" they yelled together, shutting her up.
"Sorry. But it's so true. You should of seen the sad faces of your fan guys. They are all just sitting in corners all around school."
Sakura started to laugh and burried her face in Syaoran's chest, who was also laughing.
"YATTA!! I got that all on tape!" she yelled.
"Way to ruin a moment." Sakura glared right into the camera.
Syaoran just kept laughing as she wrapt her arms around him, still glaring at Tomoyo. She started laughing again, not being able to hold it in anymore and rested her head on his chest again.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura said, still laughing. ''You looked like you thought I was gonna kill you."
"Don't make fun! It's not nice." she pouted. "I got to go to the broadcast room. I'm running the morning show and I still need to edit the tape."
"See you soon." Syaoran and Sakura said together.
"I got that on tape too!" she shreaked as she walked away.
------------------------------
Sakura and Syaoran were watching the morning show and were embarassed. Tomoyo had edited the stuff she had recorded of them earlier and played it for the show. They way it was set up she made it almost ten minutes of embarasment.
"Oh... my... God." Sakura said when it finally ended.
"I can't believe this." Syaoran whispered.
"She even put the 'see you soon' part." she whined.
When Tomoyo came to class they glared at her.
"Don't look at me like that." she whispered as she sat down next to them. "It's the most perfect story ever."
"We don't care." Sakura said. "It's our buisness what we do."
------------------------------
School ended and everyone on the bus was talking about the morning show.
"I'm killing Tomoyo the second I see her." Sakura pouted as she slouched in her seat.
"Isn't that a little harsh. After all, we are just pretending." Syaoran pointed out.
She had almost forgot that this was all a game. She snapped her fingers with a smile.
"I just remembered that this tommorow is the last day of school before Summer break." she giggled.
"Good. I could use some time off. The next four months are going to be perfect." he sighed with a stretch. (In my story you get four months off so don't bug me.)
Summer started tomorrow and they both had forgotten.
"I need to go Clothes shopping. I so want to go to the beach this summer." Sakura stated.
"That reminds me... I almost forgot!" Syaoran paused. "I'm going to the beach house in Okinawa for six weeks. I'm going to invite everyone. I hate going to the beach alone."
"Are you going to invit me?"
"I have to. I hate being alone and if I don't invite you then people from school will know we're faking."
"I am soo buying a couple bikinis!" she practicly screamed. "I am going to so go shopping the second I finish my homework"
He ended up laughing at her a little.
"My stop's next and I still haven't gotten a kiss." she said as she poked Syaoran in the chest.
"Yeah, yeah. I get it."
He leaned towards Sakura and caught her lips in a kiss. she smiled and they pulled apart after, like, two seconds. She grabbed her things and said her goodbyes but the second she stepped off the bus a blush spread across her cheeks and she stood there dumb-struck. Without her noticing, Touya came outside and started watering their mom's garden. He saw Sakura and walked towards her. She looked at him with hurt eyes and tried to get inside.
"Wait, Sakura." he said as she stepped past him.
She turned and looked at him.
"You're not grounded. I just got a little upset and I'm sorry. You were right. I have changed." he apoligized softly.
She smiled and launched herself at him and gave him the biggest hug. She pulled away and smiled at him and Touya smiled back.
------------------------------
Syaoran called all his friends to see if they could come to the beach for summer. The only people who didn't have plans were Tomoyo, Meiling, Takashi, Eriol, Naoko, Rika, Nakuru, Chiharu, Yukito and Sakura of course. He was now going to Okinawa with nine other people, that is if Touya would alow Sakura to go. Just as he was finishing up his homework the phone rang.
"Moshi, moshi. You know the drill." he answered like he always did.
#Yes I do.# Sakura laughed on the other line. #I told Touya about summer and he was like 'no way are you going anywhere with that chinese gaki' so now he won't let me go unless he can come.#
"Of course he can come. Only a few people can come. It'll be Tomoyo, Meiling, Takashi, Eriol, Naoko, Rika, Nakuru, Chiharu, Yukito, Touya, you and me." he said sarcasticly.
#How many people is that exactly?# she asked kind of nervously.
"Let's just say not alot compared to if I had asked a week ago. Everyone just made plans pretty much yesterday."
#...That's ten people right?#
"No. It's eleven."
#Okay. So are you going to come bikini shopping with me?#
Syaoran blushed and little did he know Sakura, too, was blushing.
"Are you going to be all girly about it?"
#I'll have to think about that. After all, shopping is pretty girly. Besides, I want to pick out your swim trunks.#
"No way! I will never let you." he yelled.
#I'll pick plain green ones then.#
"...Fine. I'll go."
#Good! I'm coming over.#
She hung up on him and he grabbed his wallet quickly because knowing Sakura, she was about to ring the doorbell. Syaoran stuffed his wallet in his pocket and heard the door ring. He smiled as he answered the door and saw Sakura smiling. She threw her car keys and he caught them.
"You drive." she said as she ran to her car and got in on the passenger side.
He ran to the other side of Sakura's pick up and jumped in.
"I still can't believe you chose to get this truck." Syaoran said as he started the ignition.
"I like my car." she pouted.
"I know, but why'd you have to name it?"
She had actually named her truck Old Nancy. She smiled and patted the dash.
"Old Nancy is always there for me.''
"I can't belive I have to date you." he joked as he kept his eyes on the road.
The next chapter is mostly shopping.
