♠♣♥A Shakespearean Lesson♥♣♠
A month has passed since Eriol's departure. Syaoran seemed astonished when I first informed him. We haven't received any calls from Eriol either. What ever happened to him remains unknown. At school, Syaoran and I were the hot topic for weeks. At first mostly everyone was skeptical or in denial about us dating until they saw us making out by the cherry blossom trees. And since I'm dating Syaoran, I've become the most hated girl. I am an outcast, actually, maybe worst. Most of the other outcasts don't like me either. I don't bother speaking to the guys. They usually want to get in my pants. Atleast, that's what Shika-chan says. My only friend is Shika-chan. She is also an outcast. I don't understand why though. She's smart, funny, polite for the most part and beautiful. Syaoran is the only other person I speak with at school and that's because he's my boyfriend. Of course we talk.
"Sakura?"
I look up at Syaoran who's rubbing his eyes in attempt to fully awaken. I snuggle up closer to him.
"Yeah?"
"We should really get going, school's going to start."
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first. You can sleep awhile more. After all, you stayed up late because of that project."
I get up from the bed and head towards the bathroom. Ever since we got together, Syaoran and I have been sleeping together again. Not you know, actually sleeping. I'm still a virgin. I finish in a few minutes (I try not to take long. I don't want to waste water, protect the earth!)and slip on my uniform. I apply a little eye makeup, brush my hair and walk over to the three sided mirror.
"You don't need to check yourself in the mirror. You're always beautiful."
I smirk and look at Syaoran who is standing at the doorway. He walks over to me and places a kiss on my forehead.
"You know, I like how this uniform looks on you, better than the old one."
"I bet you would."
The school got new uniforms due to um…um. Crap. I forgot. Anyway, its skirt is a tad bit shorter. Syaoran loves it. To be honest, I love my new uniform too. It's a red and grey plaid mini skirt, long black over the knee, knee socks, and a plain white shirt with a very cute tight black jacket. Oh yeah and a red tie. I can't wait to see the spring-summer version.
"Well, I better hurry. It's almost time to leave."
"I'll make breakfast so hurry,"
"Yeah…you know, I can make it. I mean, you still haven't finished deciding if you're content with your image. "
"You just said that I was always beautiful!"
"You are!"
"Then what's the problem?"
"I'm going to take a shower then."
I leave and go downstairs. He never lets me cook. Well, he did once when I first got here. He said he loved it. Now that I remember, he was kinda making weird faces. Anyway, let's see. Pancakes!
Minutes Later
"Tada! Blueberry pancakes!"
"Yay."
"Huh? What's with that? You just sounded sarcastic!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Just eat your pancakes."
I sit and watch Syaoran as he is about to eat my homemade pancakes. He grabs his fork and cuts off a piece of the pancake. I feel my eyes widen as he pulls it up to his mouth. Oh my gosh! He's about to eat the pancake that I put my whole heart into making! He dawldes abit and then places it in his mouth. Then as fast as light travels, he spits it out.
"Damn! What did you put in this!? Are you trying to kill me? I thought you loved me!"
"What are you talking about? I do care about you! Don't over react! It can't be that bad!"
I grab my own fork and take a stab at my own pancake sitting infront of me. As soon as it touches my toungue I get up and spit it out. I instantly gulp down my orange juice and even then the taste lingers. I look over at Syaoran who is standing there with that very annoying smirk of his. I feel my eyes water and Syaoran immediately pulls me into a hug making me cry.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I-I should be sorry. I-I can't even make p-pancakes without pois-poisoning someone."
"Sakura, I love you."
I pull away from him and smile.
"Come on, school's about to start. I need to get my books from my room."
I leave Syaoran in the Kitchen and as soon as I reach the room I barely use, I breakdown and cry. I still can't tell him I love him.
At School
"Morning Sakura-chan, Li-kun, how's the lovely couple?"
"Good morning Shika-chan."
"I'll see you later Sakura," Syaoran says as he lets go of my hand and kisses my cheek.
"Yeah, okay,"I say as I watch Syaoran dissapear into the crowd of Tokyo students. I want to cry. I feel like someday I'm going to lose him.
"So cold and it's only morning, what's wrong with him?"
I smile weakly and walk into class with Shika-chan. Once we get into our seats Shika-chan gets very serious and demands to know what's wrong with Syaoran and me.
"Come on Sakura-chan, you can count on me!"
"Well-"
"You can't tell him you love him."
I am sure I have a surprised look on my face because I am.
"Do you like him?"
"Of course! Why else would I be dating him?"
"Well, I don't know. He's really rich and really hot."
"Shika-chan!"
"I'm just playing with you. I know you really like him. I am not sure what to tell you. You've only begun to see him differently, right? "
"I guess, before he was like my older brother. I never thought that he would be interested in me like that but I did have a crush on him before. Something happened and thats when I thought I had no chance."
"Well, you guys have only been going out for what? One month. Maybe your relationship is moving to fast. I mean, I don't know. I don't have that kind of expirience!"
"Huh? But every time I call you, you're always busy talking or hanging out with a guy."
"It's different. Anyway, He's liked you in that way longer so he probaly really does already love you and since you've just begun to like in that way you're not on the same level? Does that make sense? I'm confused."
"I'm a bit lost but I think I get what you mean. Thank you! You're such a good friend."
"Oh it's nothing. You're my first best friend ever!"
"Are you serious?"
"No but you are the bestest friend I've had so far."
I laugh and continue laughing as Shika-chan tells me very funny stories.
Lunch Break
I can't believe it. I have just been abandoned by my boyfriend and best friend. Syaoran has to go help his class prepare for the upcoming school festival and Shika-chan has to make up a test. Now where do I go eat? I don't want to go sit by myself in the open. I don't know what Syaoran's fans will do. I've never been left alone until now. I always eat with Syaoran and Shika-chan. I know, I'll look for a secluded area. Now let's see. No. Not here. UH!!!! I'll pretend I did not see that. No. No. Aha! Here! Perfecto! I sit and begin to eat my lunch (I think I bought too much) when I see a very familiar face looking straight at me. Her brown eyes and dark reddish-brown hair are so familiar.
"EH!?"
"Oh! I'm sorry. Did I disturb you?"
"You're Sana-chan!"
"Huh? Hi! I'm Kurata, Sana! "
"Cut it out with those odd hands movements."
I surprised to see a very tall handsome boy right behind her. He has a pair of amber eyes and a mixture of dark and light brown hair.
"Shut up Akito!"
They start hitting eachother playfully? and have obviously forgotten about my existence.
"Eh! Sorry, what's your name?"
"Huh? I'm Kinomoto, Sakura nice to meet you."
"I'm Kurata, Sana nice to meet you too."
"You already introduced your self."
"Shut up! And this is my fiancee Hayama, Akito."
"Yo."
"You're getting married?"
"Yup!"
As soon as Sana starts walking closer to me she trips and is about to fall until Hayama-kun prevents it. At this, I accidently blurt out something.
"Baby?"
"EH!? How do you know!? Are you working for those paparazzi? NO!!! We've been discover!"
"If you tell anyone-"
I don't listen to what Hayama-kun says and I get chills as he glares at me.
"I didn't know and I-I promise I won't tell anyone. How could I do something like that? It's none of my business. "
With that Sana-chan and Hayama-kun look at eachother and sit down beside me to.
"Do you mind if we eat here also? Hahaha I over reacted. You know with the baby, mood swings!"
"Yeah, it's scary, especially because it's her."
"Akito!"
They're a very amusing couple. Hey, isn't he the guy Sana-chan complained about a few years back? I think I did buy too much. I wonder if they want some.
"Um, I bought too much food. Would you like some? It's sushi."
"Sushi?"
"Yes please. Akito loves it."
I hand them the bento box and continue eating my rice.
"Can I call you Sakura-chan?"
"Yeah, of course."
I smile and have a very fun time with both Sana-chan and Hayama-kun. Those two really love eachother. They tell me about Sana-chan's pregnancy. She's 2 months and they aren't sure if it's going to be a girl or a boy though Sana-chan says it's a boy. Sana-chan also mentions having heard me sing in choir. She complements me and says I should be a singer. I'm surprised because I rarely get to sing. The choir teacher turned out to be very young and to be in love with Syaoran. I'm also discriminated by a teacher because of my relationship with Syaoran. I wonder if these two know that I am his girlfriend.
"You're Li-kun's girlfriend, aren't you?"
I look up and see both Sana-chan and Hayama-kun looking straight at me.
"Y-yeah why?"
They look at eachother and I get that same feeling I felt when I first came back from Hong Kong and Syaoran said he was only praticing for a play with that sluttish girl.
"I'm surprised because you aren't like I imagined you to be, right Akito."
"Yeah, it's really surprising."
"Well, how did you imagine me to be?"
"I don't know how to put it. You're not the girls we've seen Li-"
Sana-chan pauses and looks uneasy. Luckily for her the warning bell rings.
"We have to go Sakura-chan. It was really fun talking with you. We should hang out sometime.Here's my number if you ever need someone to talk to or if you need help with anything. Can you give me your number? I was wondering if you mind helping me with the school festival."
"Sure, here's my number and thank you. Bye!"
I leave Sana-chan and Hayama-kun and begin to walk towards my classroom. I still have that weird feeling. Besides that I am extremely happy. I have just made two new friends.
In The Classroom
When I reach my class the teacher immeadiately begins so I don't have a chance to speak with Shika-chan.
"Okay, Get out Romeo and Juliet and read up to Act 3."
The class groans and the girls complain. I get my book out and begin to read. At first, I thought that I also wanted a Romeo but after reading this I don't think so. He's a Lothario, a Casanova, a Don Juan. No thanks! At first he was all in love with Rosaline and now after only seeing Juliet once he's all in love with Juliet and wants to marry her. She's only 13 or 14! He's 16, 17 or 18. It's rather vague. It's so crazy and sad, they die in the end. No wonder it's called The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
Minutes pass and I realize that in my book there are two highlighted quotes from Friar Lawrence.
"Wisely and slowly; they stumble that run fast."
"These violent delights have violent ends."
I find this so peculiar because this is a brand new copy that I bought and the quotes are highlighted by a regular neon blue marker. I ask Shika-chan if I can see her copy. We have the same book and nothing is highlighted in it. I become more perplexed when I realize that I carry this book everywhere.
Afterschool
As I am walking with Syaoran I notice Sana-chan waving violently at me while Hayama-kun tries to calm her down. I smile and wave back.
"You know her?"
"Yeah, I can't believe I met my favorite actress and that she goes to my school."
"I forgot to tell you she goes here."
"I also met her boyfriend. They're so cute."
"You shouldn't hang out with them."
"Why?"
"It's too complicated to explain."
I frown and continue to walk. I don't know how to tell Syaoran. I can't break my word. I already promised Sana-chan I would help her with the school festival. She also signed me up in the talent show during choir. Oh well, I tell him some other time.
