Chapter 10. The Two
Balconies
Eriol was looking through Syaoran's balcony door.
"What the heck are you looking at?" Syaoran said throwing a
pillow at Eriol. Eriol shot him a mean look. "Dude. That is so
weird… Your balcony is like right next to Sakura's balcony!"
Eriol said looking out the balcony door again. Syaoran stood up and
looked out the balcony door. All of a sudden a shadowy figure pulled
back the blinds of the balcony, Syaoran and Eriol ducked. Sakura
pulled back her balcony blinds and stretched out her arms. She let
out a loud yawn and stepped outside, "GET OFF ME!" Eriol said
punching Syaoran. Syaoran jumped up and punched Eriol back. "Dude!
She could' a seen us!" Syaoran said flailing his arms up and
down. Sakura looked confusingly at them. 'What the heck?'
She thought sitting down. Soon Madison joined her with two trays of
lunch. "What are you looking' at Sakura?" Madison asked taking
a bite of her sandwich. "Huh? Oh.. Nothing." Sakura said smiling
as she took a sip of orange juice. Meanwhile, Syaoran and Eriol where
arguing…
"Let's ask 'em to the Cherry Blossom Carnival."
Eriol said grinning as he looked at Madison through the balcony door.
"No." Syaoran said.
"YES"
"NO"
"YES"
"NO"
"WHY
NOT?" Eriol asked. Syaoran opened his mouth to say something, and
then closed it again. 'Why didn't he want to ask them?' He
thought to himself. Eriol stood there staring at him with his arms
crossed, Syaoran finally snapped back into reality, "Cause, I don't
want to." Syaoran said turning away. "Geez! Syaoran
every single girl in Tokyo like LOVES you. But you turn 'em all
down! And there are like two pretty girls next door and you don't
even take any action!" Eriol said as he threw a pillow at Syaoran.
Syaoran ducked. "I just don't like girls." Syaoran said. Eriol
gave him the "YOUR GAY?" look and backed away. "WHAT? NO IM NOT
GAY!" Syaoran said quickly punching Eriol. Eriol backed into the
balcony door making a huge "BAM" sound which all of Tokyo could
have heard. Madison and Sakura stopped eating and turned around to
face Syaoran's balcony. "Uh…" Sakura said trying to return
her focus on eating breakfast. Madison simply nodded and began to eat
again. "Hey! Man! What was that for!" Eriol said standing up as
he rubbed his head. Syaoran sweat-dropped, "Sorry…"
Syaoran looked away and sat on the floor. "You're still waiting for that girl aren't you?" Eriol said sitting down near Syaoran. Syaoran simply nodded and closed his eyes. 'its been over 11 years Syaoran… just let her go….' He thought to himself. But he couldn't just forget about his childhood sweetheart. 'Come on Syaoran forget her, You don't even know her name and what she looks like now.' He thought again. He wanted to forget her. 'Come on Syaoran.' Syaoran opened his eyes and shook his head. He buried his head in his hands. Eriol sat quietly watching Syaoran's every move. Syaoran let out a loud sigh, "You still up for the carnival?" Syaoran said with a weak smile. Eriol smiled a big smile and nodded. Eriol jumped up and down in excitement, (A/N: I know, it sounds very childish for a 20 year old, but hey he's about to get a date with a model!). Sakura and Madison couldn't concentrate on their food and watched the next-door neighbors. Syaoran caught them glancing at Eriol and grinned. He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote in big letters: ERIOL IS CRAZY! Sakura and Madison laughed at the sign.
Eriol stopped jumping and looked down. Eriol laughed as he grabbed a piece of paper from Syaoran's desk and wrote: IM ONE IN A MILLION and taped it on his shirt. He grinned and stroke a pose. Madison and Sakura broke down in a fit of giggles. Sakura ran inside her room and grabbed 2 markers and a piece of paper. Madison eyed Sakura suspiciously, "What are you doing?" Madison asked trying to read what Sakura was writing but Sakura just grinned and hid what she wrote with her free arm. Finally when she was done she held the sign up for Eriol and Syaoran to read. Eriol blushed. Madison quickly stood up when she saw him blushing and grabbed the piece of paper from Sakura. Sakura was laughing so hard she didn't even fight for the paper. The note read: MADISON LIKES CRAZY GUYS. Madison grabbed a marker and wrote on the back and held it up for Syaoran and Eriol to see. Sakura jumped up and tried to grab the note, but Madison just ran around the balcony laughing as she held the note up. They finally stopped when they saw Syaoran hold up another sign.
This one made Madison blush, "ERIOL LIKES YOUU!" It said. Eriol just stood there looking confused then turned around and hit Syaoran on the head. Madison just stood there blushing Eriol stared back. Syaoran and Sakura stared at each other rolling their eyes and exchanging a smile. Finally what seemed to be 83619647 years, Eriol turned around and wrote a message. Syaoran stared at him trying to figure out what he was writing; after Eriol finished writing he stood up and held it out for the two girls to see. It said: WANT TO GO TO A CARNIVAL TODAY WITH THIS BONEHEAD AND ME? Sakura looked at Syaoran, giving him a "really? You're-asking-us?" look. Syaoran simply nodded and smiled. Sakura grinned and grabbed the marker and paper from Madison, "HEY!" Madison said trying to grab the piece of paperback, Sakura finished writing and showed them the note with a big smile on her face. Eriol and Syaoran nodded and left. Sakura looked at Madison who seemed somewhat disappointed.
"What's wrong Madison?" Sakura said putting the paper down, "I wanted to go to the carnival!" Madison said. Sakura sweat-dropped, "Then you better get dressed 'cause they're coming over to pick us up." Sakura said winking as she went inside with her tray. Madison quickly stood up and ran inside. 'OH WHAT TO WEAR? WHAT TO WEAR?' Madison thought as she ran into her room and started taking out her clothes from her closet. After about 30 minutes had passed, Sakura entered Madison's room. She was wearing a pair of flared jeans and a blue and pink tank top with matching pink shoes and pink purse. Sakura fell anime style. "MADISON! Hurry up! I told them to come at 3:00! And it's already 2:55!" Sakura said picking up Madison's clothes off the floor. "GEEZ! Did a hurricane like pop into your closet and flung everything around?" Sakura said putting the clothes back in the closet. Madison finally came into the bathroom wearing all purple (except for her caprice, which were blue). Sakura smiled, "Do I look ok?" Madison said looking at her full-length mirror. "Or maybe this is------" Sakura grabbed Madison's arm and dragged her downstairs before Madison could do any last minute wardrobe changes.
Right when they got downstairs the doorbell rang. Madison was about to run upstairs when Sakura grabbed her arm and dragged her to the door. Madison opened the door with a big smile on her face. "Shall we?" Eriol said holding both arms out for Sakura and Madison to hold on. Madison and Sakura looked at each other and nodded as they each grabbed one of Eriol's arms. But for some odd reason, Sakura wanted to hold onto Syaoran's arms… She quickly snapped out of it as she entered the car. She and Madison chose to sit in back while Syaoran drove and Eriol sat in the passenger seat next to Syaoran. Syaoran gave a little wave to the girls and turned on the engine. And they drove off. When they finally got there, Eriol opened the door and helped Madison out. Syaoran kindly did the same with Sakura. Sakura felt so different (but in a good way), when she touched Syaoran's hand as he helped her out of the car. She felt as if she'd felt this touch before… from a long time ago. But it wasn't only her who felt it Syaoran did to. It felt as if he'd touched her hand before. All of a sudden both of them were hit with a flashback…
