Did I mention I hate him?

Chapter 5

Summary: He is my big brother's best friend. He's hot. Everybody just loves him. He's like 3 years older than me. He's always in our house since my parents and my brother practically treats him like family. He's also my greatest enemy. Not that I have many… actually he is my only enemy. Gosh, everything sounds cliché-ish.

Disclaimer; I always forget to put this one up. Maybe the reason is that ya'll probably know already that I do not own CCS, that it isn't necessary.

Author's Notes: This is a re-post.

SOME CHARACTER'S WILL BE OOC! AND MIGHT BE CLICHÉ-ISH.

"So…does this mean I get to sit shotgun?"

He looked at me fatly, "Of course you do, what did you think?"

Looking back at his car, his totally amazing green Porsche (Why is it that he is freaking lucky to have a motorcycle and this piece of metal hunk?) I sighed dreamily. "Can I drive?" I asked excitedly.

His eyes bulged out, "No you cannot!" He shouted at me.

I glared at him and crossed my arms over my chest, "And why not?" I've always wanted to drive. He's not even considering granting that wish! What a pig.

He pointed an accusing finger at me and I looked at it with boredom as he said, "You don't even know how to drive!"

"Yes I do!" I got all defensive now, "I'm just pretty clumsy when I'm in the road…" I trailed off silently. It's true though. One time last year, when I asked to drive Touya's car, I haven't even been to the road yet, but the car already hit 2 trash bins. I think we all know whose fault it is.

In case you don't: It's Touya's. I mean, who trust a 15-year-old-newbie to drive? Such a irresponsible brother he is. Tsk tsk.

"I'm not risking my life for this. And I know what happened last year with Touya's car. My baby is too precious to be damaged." He said. Ugh. Nobody trusts me.

Rolling my beautiful –yes, I went there– eyes, I told him, "How will I ever how to drive, when nobody trust me behind the wheel?"

"That's because we have brains that function normally," He muttered under his breath. Glaring at him indicating that I certainly did hear him, he raised his arms in defense. "Sorry"

I didn't want to come to this…but I think it's time for me to use my secret weapon.

I covered my eyes with my bangs and faked sniff. I started rubbing non-existent tears from my eyes, as I stuttered out, "W-why are people so m-mean to me."

God, I'm such a good actress. I can dance so well and act? I am certainly going to get an award for being thisawesome.

"You aren't fooling me, you know. Even if you *think* you're such a great actress…I can totally see right through you."

Well there goes my dream for going Broadway. Thank you, Li, for spoiling that. "Wait –I didn't think I was great, I only thought I was good." I paused when realization dawned at me, "How did you even knowwhat I was thinking?" I stared at him incredulously.

He rolled his eyes, "Please. Stop being so dramatic. Can you just go inside and sit in the passenger sit and do us all of those who have ears a favour and just shut up!"

Things got pretty dang thick with tension after that. I heaved a sigh before I –grudgingly –opened the door and sat on the passenger seat.If he was going to emphasize those words, so will I.

He inhaled a lungful of oxygen as well before he went to the driver's seat. After buckling up; no words were exchanged between us. So I did the most humane thing I could do to lessen the tension: I turned the radio on.

Taylor Swift's song I'd Lie filled the car, I smiled a little singing along with it.

"I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me.
"

I stole a peek at Li, even though he tried his hardest to hide his smile: He failed epically.

"He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair."

As if he was trying to be all funny, he really didrun his fingers through his hair. I laughed.

"I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong"

Then I sang even louder, "And I could tell you his favourite colours green
He loves to argue, born on the thirteenth!"

I laughed even harder when he shot me a playful dry look.

I continued singing my heart out inside his car, "His sisters beautiful, he has his father's eyes. And if you ask me –" I stopped singing when I remembered the last part of that song. I let Taylor Swift continue it, without me singing along, since I remained silent.

If I love him, I'd lie.

I looked at Li, who was surprisingly, looking at me as well. To sound completely cliché –there was something about the expression in his eyes that I can't understand. As well as the pounding of something located inside my chest as his gorgeous–I cannot even believe I went there–face started leaning near mine. Everything went silent, I can't hear the car's loud engine roar as it died down or the radio, I can't even hear my own breath for Pete's sake!

I only heard this: "Sakura…were here," as he said before he moved away and got out of the car.

I sunk on my chair, feeling rather disappointed and confused. Mostly confused.

==0==

"So what should we do?" I asked Eriol quietly. We were sitting next to each other outside Tomoyo's room. Though she wanted to be strong, we can still hear her silent sob from inside. Tomoyo is usually a perfectionist and when she fails…she just crumbles down.

Hearing Tomoyo's cries and I can't do anything about it, makes me feel so worthless. There has got to be a way to help her.

Eriol sighed beside me, even though he won't admit it, the restlessness of his usually mischievous blue eyes was not hard to detect; He is completely worried as I am with Tomoyo.

He took his glasses and wiping it with the hem of his shirt, he said, "I don't know. Her teacher was kind enough to let her take a re-test by tomorrow but I guess she just lost all hope."

Wait a minute. "There's a re-test?! Why didn't you tell me?" I hissed shaking both his shoulders. The force made his newly-wiped glasses to stand crookedly on his nose.

"Hold up!" He removed my hands off his shoulder and rearranged his glasses better. Once he got all composed and shit, he narrowed his eyes towards me, "What are you planning?"

"Nothing," I feigned innocence.

He raised a sceptical brow at me, "Uh huh." He rolled his eyes.

I shot him a small wicked smirk, there was no point into making him believe that I'm not planning anything, and told him, "Would you like a date with Tomoyo?"

The random question threw him off guard and he blushed once he registered what I asked him. Whatever he was thinking I was about to say, certainly wasn't this. This made my smirk a lot more visible.

==0==

After talking to Eriol about my awesome plan, I left him to take care Tomoyo. I trusted him.

On my way to Li's car, this sinking feeling was present in my stomach. I tried to ignore it (whatever it was) and when I saw him leaning back on his car, my stomach did a flip.

Was that even normal!?

I gulped all the uneasiness that started to form in my throat. My body must be changing (Damn you, puberty!)…I mean, how do you explain this certain things happening to my body? It's puberty. Duh.

When Li saw me, he gave me a smile and opened the door for me. I didn't return his smile and I shook my head.

My vague gesture made him look at me with confusion, "What?"

I crossed my arms, "I want to drive."

"Haven't we already discussed this?" He sighed tiredly.

"The conversation will not be over until I'm right," I retorted.

He seemed thoughtful for a moment, "No," he said so bluntly it made my blood boil.

"Then I am not going there with you. I'll walk home." As to prove a point, I started to walk away.

I don't know why but I think my action reflects that I don't want to be alone with Li. I realized that when I'm sitting shotgun, I get all crazy (figuratively speaking). The confusion that I've felt and the disappointment? I don't know where the hell that all came from!

The only solution for me not to get tangled up in that situation again, is either be the one to drive (at least I'll be focusing on the road); or I'll walk home.

Then as if the universe just wants to me suffer some more: It started to rain. Hard. Inevitably, I'm now drenched.

"Sakura!" I heard him yell. But I'm too stubborn to look back.

Dammit! I can't even see through this rain.

"Sakura! Sakura! Sakura!" His shout was getting more and more frantic.

"Sakura!"

I stopped in my tracks, "What!?" I shouted back irritatedly.

'BEEP BEEP BEEEEEPPPP!'

The next forty seconds has to be the most horrifying moment of my life. Even through the hard rain, I saw bright head light going towards my way. I stood frozen in spot. And in a flash, something jumped towards me, pushing me away from the road.

I groaned, opening my eyes. Then it widens when I saw I was on Li's chest. I was on top of him. How cliché can we be?

"You alright?" He asked me.

I tear escaped my eyes, and I pounced my fist on his chest. "Baka! You almost died because of me and you're asking me if I'malright?!"

"I –"

I didn't let him finish because after all the chaotic things that happened that night, I can't think straight anymore. So top it all of the craziness that happened; I planted my lips on him.

At first, Syaoran just remained stiff with shock. But after a couple of seconds, he ran his fingers through my hair and pushed me closer to him and started kissing me back.

We didn't care that we were in such position under the rain, completely soaked, in the side of the road, kissing.

When we finally pulled away. The shock was still there in his eyes, and faint smile was on his lips, "Wow." He breathed, fanning my flushed face.

I don't know what came over me, but the first thing I said was, "Oh shit. What just happened?"
