I read your reviews and seem like all of you hate Kenji so much XD

Well, he actually didn't know that Syaoran loves Sakura but well… here's a spoiler, he's a jerk.

Summary: Sakura meet Syaoran when they're kids and since then, they became best friends. As time goes by, will their friendship keep go on? Or will it turn into a love?

Notes: I hope I can write better here and be patient (as I love to fast forward some stories). Rated T for safety!

Chapter 7: Second Prom

-Sakura's POV-

Right! I'm a freshman in senior high already! Fast, huh? Well, time flies. Anyway, I have big news for all of you! I'm Kenji's girlfriend now! We have been going out for almost a year now. And, when there's good news, there will always be a bad news. Yes, Syaoran-kun has been acting so weird recently. He doesn't greet me anymore as usual. He doesn't ring the bells anymore either. Sometimes, he sometimes doesn't even answer my call or reply my messages. I wonder why. And it happened since I went out with Kenji. Oh well, it's just a coincidence, isn't it?

So, like last year, there will be a prom for students in the high school. Of course, I will go with my boyfriend, Kenji.

Oh yeah, speaking of Kenji, I feel something weird with him. He asked me not to get so romantic at school. He said so that we could get focus for our studies. I wonder, is it really logical? Well, at least he still brings me to a date every week.

So, I have decided I want to talk with Syaoran-kun today. When I get home, I ring the bell, waiting for him to answer it. And believe me, it's not easy to call him in this ancient way. I should ring the bell for more than three times so that he would go to the balcony.

"What is it?" He asked.

As usual, he acted so cold, "Syaoran-kun, I just want to know if you'll go to the prom."

He keeps quite for a moment before giving his answer, "I won't go."

"Eh, why?"

"I don't have any partner," he said as he gritted his teeth.

I hump, he's lying! There are lots of girls who have crush on him!

"Can't you just pick one of your fan girls to be your partner?"

For once, I thought I see his eyes look very sad, "Why should I go with girl that I don't even like?"

Could it be… "Eh? So you have a crush on another girl already?"

He seems to be hesitated for a moment before answering, "You can say so."

"Who is it? Is she in your grade? Or is she in my grade? Or probably she's your senior?"

He groans and says while taking his eyes from me, "She has a boyfriend already…"

"Eh? It can't be… You're such a good guy! Doesn't she realize how nice you are? Being your girlfriend is such a gift!"

He sighs before walking away, "Are you done with me? I want to rest."

"Ah… okay," he walks away, again…

-Syaoran's POV-

I hear the bell ringing and I just wanna ignore it. But at the same time, I wanna see her face… yeah…

So, I come out to the balcony and ask, "What is it?"

She gulps before finally asking, "Syaoran-kun, I just want to know if you'll go to the prom."

I became quiet…

Well, I think I know the answer already, "I won't go."

"Eh, why?"

"I don't have any partner," and… that's the truth! I rejected all of the girls just because of Sakura. I'm a dumb, huh?

"Can't you just pick one of your fan girls to be your partner?"

"Why should I go with girl that I don't even like?" I spat. Honestly, I'm kinda mad because she just won't realize what she's saying… Well, not her fault, that's the point.

"Eh? So you have a crush on another girl already?"

Bingo, Sakura. You're so smart yet, you're so dense for not realizing that the girl is actually you.

"You can say so."

"Who is it? Is she in your grade? Or is she in my grade? Or probably she's your senior?"

Whoa, so aggressive? It's not like she likes me or not, wait, she has a boyfriend already. So why did she need to know about this? Friends? Make sense.

I groan and try to give her a hint, "She has a boyfriend already…"

"Eh? It can't be… You're such a good guy! Doesn't she realize how nice you are? Being your girlfriend is such a gift!"

Oh well, Sakura, it's actually you! And if you say so, then… forget it… she doesn't even like me. She only sees me as her best friend, nothing else. It's useless to give her hints… She will never realize about it.

I sigh, I wanna end this chit chat, "Are you done with me? I want to rest."

"Ah, okay…" with that, I go back and close the window as well as the curtain, trying to let the shine go through my bedroom.

You know what, Eriol and Tomoyo even realized that I'm in love with Sakura! Well, they figured it out and then forced me to tell the truth so…

I lay on my bed and sigh, "I'm such a coward…"

-Prom, Sakura's POV-

I've asked Kenji to pick me up since Syaoran-kun isn't going, so I can't possibly go there by myself. But Kenji said that he can't since he has something to do. Well, he won't tell me what he's doing and I don't think I want to ask about it either. So, I finally asked Tomoyo to pick me up and both of us went to the prom. Kenji asked me to meet him on the hall so when Tomoyo asked me whether I want to join her taking some drinks, I refuse.

I sigh, "Just if Syaoran-kun's here…"

Just then, Tomoyo texted me, "So sorry, Sakura-chan. I can't accompany you since well… Eriol wants to take me for a dance. You'll be fine, right?"

I smile. Yes, Tomoyo-chan is going out with Eriol-kun, Syaoran-kun's best friend, "It's okay, Tomoyo-chan. Have fun with Eriol-kun!"

Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-kun, Syaoran-kun and I are friends since well… Eriol-kun, who is Syaoran-kun's best friend, is going out with Tomoyo-chan, my best friend. Understand now?

"Well, I advise you, Sakura-chan, I don't think Kenji is a good guy. Li-kun is better!"

Oh gee, Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun have been saying about that thing over and over. They probably just don't like seeing me going out with Kenji! He's a good guy! And Syaoran-kun… he's only my best friend, that's all! Besides, he seems to be cold at me now…

"Hey, babe!" I heard someone calling and see Kenji smiles at me.

He gives me a hug and a kiss on my forehead, "When can I get your first kiss?"

I purse my lips and smile, "Later… when I turn seventeen, you can have it…"

"Aww… Can't I have it now? You're going to be seventeen in no time!"

"Later," I giggle.

I see disappointment in Kenji's eyes but I don't want my first kiss to be taken before I'm seventeen, "Hey, babe, where's your best friend?"

"Tomoyo-chan?"

"No, the other one."

"Oh… You mean Syaoran-kun, huh? He said he didn't want to go," somehow, I feel Kenji's eyes softened.

He kisses my neck and asks, "So… You're mine for tonight?"

I feel blush creep up to my cheeks and I push him aside, "I…"

He then chuckles, but I swear I saw rage flashed on his eyes, "Well, I don't feel really good. I'll go home now, so, you'll be fine here alone, right?"

I sigh… I was hoping he would offer me a ride back to my home but well… he said he didn't feel really good so, "Yes… I'll be fine. Take a rest once you get home, okay?"

"Love you, babe," he kisses my cheek and then walks away.

I sigh again… Just if Syaoran-kun is here… he probably can accompany me…

Well, I guess I'll take a walk around the hall since I really don't want to ruin Tomoyo-chan's and Eriol-kun's lovey dovey moment.

I was walking around when then a sight catches my eyes…

I saw Kenji, with his arm around a girl, and both of them walk out from the hall. I felt hurt but… before I could think, I followed them. Along their way, they exchange kisses. Before go into his car, he kisses the girl's lips passionately. My eyes start to water… They went inside and then he drove.

. . .

How could he…

Or is it only my imagination?

See how jerk Kenji could be? XD

Well, no offense for those who's got a name 'Kenji', okay?
