Whaaa! (cries) I'm so sleepy these days! I've had like three months of holidays and playing DDR until 7 pm doesn't compare to how tiring 3 hours of learning is! (Cries louder!) Maybe it's because I didn't do any study during the 'holidays' (lucky I didn't because I would have learnt the wrong thing seeing as I didn't get into the course I wanted --). I feel so old … (laughs) oh well! New chapter up!

On with the story:


; Next day

"Hey!" Yamazaki called out running out of the school gates.

"Yamazaki? What are you doing?" Chiharu asked, turning around to face him.

"I heard you guys were going shopping, so I wanted to tag along," Yamazaki answered with a great smile.

"Really?" Chiharu asked raising up an eye brow, since when did he ever volunteer to go out shopping?

"Yeah!" Yamazaki said hugging Chiharu around her shoulders, "I haven't been able to spend much time with you lately."

"That's so adorable," Sakura whispered to Tomoyo smiling at the couple, secretly wishing to herself that maybe one day Syaoran and she might be like that.

Chiharu rested her head on Yamazaki's shoulder as they started walking towards the shops, something that she missed doing. It was true that they haven't spent much time together. Chiharu would be spending majority of her time trying to find Yamazaki and he would spend most of his time just missing her.

"So what exactly are we shopping for?" Yamazaki asked, squeezing her tighter, leaning his head on Chiharu's.

"An outfit for Naoko," Chiharu answered with a smile, "We're going to a gig on a Friday and Henry will be there!"

"Henry?" Yamazaki repeated, "Is that the other guy that Naoko likes?"

"Yup," Chiharu nodded.

"Oh…" Yamazaki said confused, scratching his head, "but I thought that Naoko and Dan made a better couple."

"What did you say?!" Naoko growled, stopping in front of them.

"Ahahaha!" Yamazaki said, before bolting off in a different direction, with Naoko running right behind me.

"Wow … when Naoko gets angry, she's fast," Chiharu commented, surprised that she hadn't even tripped over yet.

"That's because it's about Dan," Eriol said, rolling his eyes, "she should just admit that they make a cute couple, get married and let me have Henry."

"What about Syaoran?" Sakura glared, annoyed at Eriol.

"Oh Sakura," he laughed lightly tapping her shoulder, "you know I'm a hoe!"

Sakura couldn't help but laugh, "that's true! You make Kings Cross look like a playground!"

"So you guys are friends again?" Tomoyo asked, raising an eye brow.

"Only until Syaoran comes!" Sakura laughed.

"Of course! Best friend's when his not around, enemies when he is near!" Eriol said hugging Sakura's arm and playing with her hair. It's only been four days and he had already missed the feeling.

"Chiharu!!" Yamazaki yelled hiding behind her, "save me! SAVE ME!!!"

Naoko glared at him so angrily you could see the fire in her eyes. She was just about to pounce on him when his phone just went off.

"Whoa!" Everyone said losing their balance.

Yamazaki pulled his phone from his pocket and answered it, "hello?"

Tomoyo, Sakura, Eriol and Naoko watched the disappointment on Chiharu's face as she watched Yamazaki walk over to the side to have a private chat.

He let out a sigh after he hung up, "sorry Chiharu."

"It's fine" Chiharu shook her head, "you can go."

He kissed her forehead before saying good bye and left the scene.

"Are you really alright with it?" Eriol asked, rubbing Chiharu's back.

She shook her head again, watching Yamazaki walk away, "he knows what his doing wrong, but I don't know how I can get him to stop."

Everyone looked at her with sadden eyes.

Yamazaki and Chiharu have been best friends since they started primary school and have been a couple since they were in year four, so it's been a lot of years that they have been together and it would be a tragedy if they broke up.

"It doesn't matter anyhow," Chiharu said, trying to cheer everyone up, "we have to find Naoko's clothes!"

"YEAH!" Everyone cheered.

; At the shopping centre

"Umm," Naoko said unsure, looking at herself in the mirror, "isn't this just a little bit too revealing?"

"Of course not dear!" Eriol said looking at her through the mirror, "you want to get Henry's attention don't you?"

"Yeah… but I don't want to look like a skank!" Naoko said, trying her best to pull down the mini skirt they mad her wear.

"Just think of it like this: you're a skank with style," Meiling said, trying to justify the outfit Chiharu, Tomoyo and herself picked out for Naoko.

"But I don't want to be a skank with style!" Naoko cried, "I look like a whore trying to reveal everything but my goodies!"

She seriously didn't feel comfortable in an extremely short mini skirt that just covered her butt with a tight boob tube over a thin singlet. She could barely turn around without the skirt rising up just a tiny bit, revealing her panties.

"At least they are covered," Sakura commented, relieved that she wasn't in Naoko's position.

"Whaaa!" Naoko cried again, "I can't wear this! If I bend over you can see my ass!"

"Isn't that the point?" Tomoyo questioned.

"Uh-uh! There is no way I am wearing this!!" Naoko protested, "Not even you guys look this trashy when you go to parties!"

Chiharu, Meiling and Tomoyo thought about it for a while. It was true that they would always make everyone else dress out of their comfort zone (to them Sakura and Naoko were like a Barbie doll) but they would never dare to dress like that in public!

"Maybe a cute skirt?" Meiling suggested.

"Yeah," Chiharu and Tomoyo agreed with a nod, turning around to find another outfit for Naoko.

"You're not going for the innocent librarian look are you?" Eriol questioned knowing Naoko's style.

It was too predictable; she was more likely to sink into the background than stand out in a crowd.

"Nope," Naoko answered shaking her head, "I said I wanted to look good for him so I will!"

She could just imagine him starring down at her from the stage, his eyes on her throughout the whole song, and then making her get up on stage so that he could declare his love for her. Sure it was so out there but Henry was a very romantic man, which is pretty hard to find these days.

"That's the spirit!" Eriol cheered hugging her arm, "now all we need is something that you feel comfortable in."

"Whaaa!" Naoko yelled quickly running into the change room.

"Huh?" Eriol and Sakura said confused.

"Where did she go?" Chiharu asked, returning with Meiling and Tomoyo.

"Maybe she saw you guys," Sakura said, puzzled.

"Hey!" Dan called out walking towards them, with Henry following behind.

"Oh," they all said quietly to themselves waving back at them.

"Where's Naoko? Isn't she's usually with you?" Dan asked looking around for her.

"Uh yeah… but she couldn't make it today," Meiling lied, "she's way too stuck in her books!"

"Sounds like her," Dan laughed, "so who's the friend with you?"

"Friend? What friend?" Sakura questioned, "We have no friends!"

"You're so ditzy Sakura," Dan said patting her head, "who's you're friend in the change room?"

"Oh… um, that was Rika," Meiling lied again before Sakura opened her mouth.

"Rika?!" Dan burst out laughing, "She looks a baby whore! Since when did she dress like that?!"

They all looked at each other and cracked up laughing, to Naoko annoyance.

'Argh! I swear I'm going to kick his head the next I time see him!' Naoko thought, clenching her fist wanting to bad to punch his face, 'how dare he say that!'

"Nah I'm joking," Dan said, as if he read her mind, "You look nice! If I offended you I'll shout you lunch!"

"Uh… sorry I'm taken," Naoko said making her voice sound like a man.

'Oh shit!' she panicked, knowing that she'd been caught out. And since when did she make little mistakes like that?

"What happened to Rika?" Dan questioned wit a surprised looked on his face.

"Oh… she's got a cold," Meiling said, "she's a little fighter that one."

"A-ha, whatever you say!" Dan said waving, "see you guys around."

"Bye!" they all said waving back.

"And tell Naoko we said hey," Henry told them before walking off behind.

"The coast is clear," Chiharu whispered into Naoko's change room.

Naoko opened the door with a dreamy look on her face, "they said hey."

They couldn't help but laugh, it was cuter than Sakura going crazy for strawberries!
