A/N: Hey there guys ;) So far I have managed to update every day... but as school is starting next week not sure whether I'll still be able to do that. So it might be a chapter per week? But we'll see I guess! xD
Thanks for my 3 reviews StarElsie, Fabi17 and James Birdsong. I'm glad you liked the 3 chapters I have done so far and hope you like this one also! xD
And I guess it's true you learn something new everyday. Netball is a really cool sport we play here in England! Definitely recommend it! :) Thanks for reading :)
Chapter 4
Sakura went home with Tomoyo so that she could be taught how to apply makeup and also be given clothes that Tomoyo had designed for her to wear tomorrow and Saturday.
They had planned to go shopping on Saturday so Sakura could buy outfits of her own as she had decided to finally listen to her fashionable cousin and dress in clothes that were actually her size.
Tomoyo spent what seemed like hours trying to teach Sakura how to use eyeliner. Sakura used 2 whole packets of makeup wipes on Tomoyo's face, as Tomoyo was her little guinea pig. Finally after Sakura had mastered the skill, they called it a day and Tomoyo dropped Sakura off at home.
'See you tomorrow Moyo.' Sakura said hugging her best friend, and then running inside her house.
'Byee Saku, try not to be late tomorrow,' Tomoyo called out to her grinning.
The next morning Sakura woke early, so that she would have enough time to have a couple attempts at applying her make-up, as she was sure that she would not get it right first time.
On the third attempt at applying her eyeliner, she was satisfied with the result and knew she would have Tomoyo's nod of approval.
She then got changed into the clothes Tomoyo gave her yesterday, a white funnel neck cropped tee with a cherry in the centre and a pair of pastel pink hot pants, completed with a pair of white knee length woolly socks with a strip of the same pastel pink around the top and a pair of low top pastel pink converses (Sakura refused to wear heels, as she can't walk in anything above one inch and she didn't want to look like a fool).
Sakura had left her skateboard at school so she had to walk, she didn't live far so she didn't mind. She grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl in the kitchen, fixed her bag on her back, and started walking to school.
When she arrived at classroom 27, she was surprised that no one was there and decided that it was a great opportunity to start that impossible maths homework which was due in after lunch.
After staring at it for about 20 minutes she decided she couldn't do it and would just ask Tomoyo at lunch.
Another 10 minutes went by before people started to enter the classroom, and it wasn't long before everyone (including Mr. Akiyama) was here apart from Syaoran.
Not that she cared that he was late, even though she would like him to get a late mark after he made her get a late mark; she was more curious and was thinking of all the possibilities that could have happened when there was a knock at the door.
Syaoran entered followed by a girl who was just a little shorter than Syaoran, some of her long jet black hair was tied in two little buns either side of her head, the rest lay on her shoulders. She had ruby red eyes, which glowed with excitement.
'Ah Syaoran, the principal said you would be late so I marked you here.' Mr. Akiyama said before turning to the ruby eyed girl 'And you must be Meilin, Syaorans cousin.'
The girl smiled shyly at Mr. Akiyama before nodding her head.
He then introduced her to the rest of the class, and she sat on the seat behind Sakura and Tomoyo.
Tomoyo turned around to speak to the new girl, while Sakura had another try at doing her maths homework.
Tomoyo and Meilin were acting as though they had known each other for ages and were laughing and joking around already even though they had only spoken for five minutes.
Sakura on the other hand wasn't sure about Meilin, ultimately she was Syaorans cousin.
Even though she felt mean, she didn't really want to befriend the girl as she thought that anything she said to her would be soon told to Syaoran and they would just laugh at her, and she didn't really want that.
She also didn't want to have to share Tomoyo. For so long it had just been them two, the inseparable pair and now Meilin had come along and she had already made a friendship with Tomoyo after 5 minutes of meeting her.
As it turned out Tomoyo and Meilin had exactly the same timetable for today.
'Brilliant.' Sakura thought, feeling left out.
The bell went and Sakura waved goodbye to the girls, and sighed to herself as they went off giggling at each other's jokes.
It was now lunch time and Sakura hadn't seen Tomoyo all day, she went to meet Tomoyo and to her relief Meilin wasn't with her.
'Heyy Moyo,' Sakura said hugging her friend 'Um… where's Meilin?'
'Oh she had told Syaoran that she would sit with him at lunch and they had already arranged to meet.'
'Ah so it's just us then.' Sakura grinned at her best friend. She was relieved that at least lunch times were still going to be the same.
'Well…' Tomoyo blushed.
Sakura frowned. 'What have you done?'
'I sort of told her that we would sit with her so that she didn't have to be by herself with Syaoran.' Tomoyo blurted out, 'You know she hates him too.'
Sakura hit her forehead with her palm. 'She has Eriol,' Sakura whined 'She doesn't need us.'
'Please Saku, I promised.' Tomoyo said pulling a face that was impossible to refuse.
Sakura groaned. 'Grrr… fine but you have to help me with my Maths homework.'
Tomoyo hugged her little cousin 'Of course, anything for you.' Midway through the hug Tomoyo quickly added, 'By the way I also told her that she could come shopping with us tomorrow.'
'Whattttttt.' Sakura squealed. Tomoyo put her hands together, (like she was begging) and batted her eye lashes.
Sakura groaned and reluctantly said 'Fine I guess she can come.' And Tomoyo pulled her little cousin in for another hug.
They then made their way to the canteen, where they bought their food. Sakura bought a chicken sandwich and a bottle of water and Tomoyo had pasta in a cheesy sauce, with a fruit smoothie.
Sakura followed Tomoyo to the table Meilin was sitting at, it was a rectangular table, with Eriol sitting at the end of the table, Syaoran sitting next to him on his right hand side and Meilin sat on the other side of Eriol which was diagonal from Syaoran. There was one empty chair next to Meilin, opposite to Syaoran, and another chair next to Syaoran opposite Meilin.
As Tomoyo got to Syaorans table first she got to pick where she sat, and she of course chose the seat which was next to Meilin (and conveniently also the seat nearest to Eriol), so that left Sakura to sit next to Syaoran.
When Sakura realised who she was spending her entire lunch time sitting next to, naturally she was overjoyed.
'Can my day get any worse?' She thought, silently cursing herself for agreeing to sit at their table.
Sakura decided she was going to pretend he wasn't there and just do her maths homework with Tomoyo.
Syaoran seemed to understand this plan of hers, and he didn't even acknowledge her when she sat down next to him.
However Tomoyo seemed to have a different plan, and spent the majority of her time talking to Eriol, with Meilin joining in the conversation with the odd word.
Sakura giving up on the prospect of help from Tomoyo decided she was going to try and attempt it by herself. As all her attempts earlier that day had been so successful.
After 5 minutes of staring at the piece of paper it was still making no sense, and she was in now deep thought of different excuses she could tell her maths teacher as to why she hadn't done her homework.
'Do you want some help with that?'
Sakura looked up to see Syaoran staring at her. She looked at him peculiarly.
'As if you would help me… You would probably just tell me all the wrong answers.' Sakura replied sharply.
Syaoran chuckled at her tone, raising his hands as a sign of surrender, 'No I wouldn't, come on let me help you…'
Sakura eyed him carefully, 'Why would you even help me… what would you even be getting?'
Syaoran smiled at her, a genuine smile, her insecure nature and her obvious fear of him having ulterior motives amused him. 'Having the satisfaction of knowing I can do it and you can't, is reward enough.' He replied.
Sakura glared at him, his words annoying her. But his smile, a kind, sweet smile, nothing like his smirks, made her smile too and soon they were smiling at each other, she put her homework in the middle between them both so he could see the maths problems she found so difficult.
Even though Sakura hated to admit it, Syaoran was a great teacher.
He wasn't impatient and helped her understand where her maths teacher had failed to do so. They even started making jokes with each other.
They had soon finished the maths homework and Sakura began to pack her things away in her bag.
Syaoran had been behaving rather well, and it was boring him.
'Her pretty little face bright pink, is so entertaining.' He thought to himself and decided he wanted to see it right now, and quickly thought up a little trick to play on her.
'Kura you have no manners.' he said teasingly, 'you haven't even thanked me for helping you.'
'Oh…sorry.' Sakura said blushing a light shade of pink totally falling for Syaorans little joke. 'Thank you for helping me, I think I understand it a lot better now.'
He leaned in to her so his face was centimetres away from hers and whispered in her ear, 'What about my thank you kiss Kura?'
She jumped back, startled by the close proximity of his face, almost falling off her chair, turning the same shade as a tomato. Syaoran laughed at her reaction, it was even better than he could of possibly hoped for.
Sakura realising she was the butt of his joke, slapped him hard around the face, causing his face to also turn a shade of red, picked up her things and stormed out the canteen.
He smiled as he watched her walk out, not a mean smile but the same one that had made Sakura smile earlier.
'So cute.' He thought.
A/N: The whole sitting around the table thing I think I explained it really badly, so I'll try and show you what I mean.
