REVIEW PLEASE!

"Another day before the center exam…" sighed Sakura.

Syaoran nodded and said, "But look at it this way, you're ready, did you study for your other subjects?"

"Yah, I looked over them yesterday night, I got like 97 of them correct, so I'll do fine in that," Sakura said and leaned over, "so today, I'm just going to relax."

Syaoran looked at her.

"What? The best thing you should do before a test is relax, and just review everything – which I did- so I think I should relax the whole day!" explained Sakura.

"That's not what I meant I was just thinking what we should do, since we're relaxing and stuff…" Syaoran said.

"And?"

"Well, I'll take you somewhere…"

"Where?" Sakura asked suspiciously. "It better not be a porno place…"

"I'm not a pervert, god! I'll tell you when we're there!" Syaoran protested.

"And what about the other day?" Sakura asked.

"Again, I apologize, that was completely an accident!" protested Syaoran. "It wasn't my fault that I walked in when you were changing!"

"Fine, fine…whatever," shrugged Sakura. "Let's go."

Movie Theater…

"A movie?" asked Sakura. "What is it? A porno one?"

"What's with you? I'm not a pervert! And for my defense, again, it was an accident!" Syaoran said a little too loud. Everyone around them looked at him with a weird glance. "She's just joking, we're just joking…hahaha! Please don't mind us! She's just joking!"

"All right! What movie are we going to watch?" grumbled Sakura.

"You can choose," Syaoran replied.

"Fine, you just better not regret your decision…" warned Sakura.

"Don't do anything you'd want me to regret…" he said.

"Fine," Sakura said with a hint of annoyance. It was true that she had grown closer to Syaoran, but sometimes, she couldn't help but feel annoyance toward him.

"So, decided yet?" Syaoran asked.

"I'm deciding!" snapped Sakura. "Don't you frikin' rush me! Hm….what to choose…"

"Just chooooooose oneeeeeeeee!" groaned Syaoran after a few minutes.

Sakura looked at all the movies that were playing; her eye caught one of the movie's posters. "This one!"

"This one?"

"Yep, it's about a guy who made a bet with his friends that he could make a girl fall for her and basically it's about that, I heard it's really good?" Sakura explained.

Syaoran's heart skipped a beat, 'this sounds familiar…' "I guess, if you want to,"

"Okay, you, Li-kun, I'm really beginning to like you," admitted Sakura.

"So you'll call me Syaoran?" Syaoran said.

Sakura laughed, and said to Syaoran, "Don't get your hopes up! I just said I liked you better than when I first met you,"

Syaoran paid for their tickets and went into the movie theater.

"Want to get some popcorn?" asked Syaoran. "Or some candy and drinks?"

"Sure," Sakura held out her hand.

"What?"

"Money…doy…I didn't bring any…" Sakura said like it was a no-brainer. Syaoran sighed and gave her enough money for the drinks, popcorn and candy.

"I'll go get some seats," Syaoran said. Sakura nodded.

After Sakura had bought the candy, drinks, and popcorn, she went into the room where the movie was being showed. There were quite some people sitting in the theater. She looked around for Syaoran, who was sitting in the back. He waved at her and Sakura made her way quickly towards him.

The movie had just started when Sakura had taken her seat.

Sakura handed him the popcorn and candy as she sipped on her drink while watching the screen. It was a pretty interesting movie so far.

The main character was Ino, a girl who had light blonde hair and hazel eyes. She did not to trust guys and in some ways just like Sakura. The main male character was Fye, who had light blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Is there something wrong with you? I don't need you to be nice to me, please leave me alone," Ino said fiercely to Fye when they had first met.

"Aren't you a little tense?" Fye teased.

This sounded familiar to Sakura as she watched. It was like déjà vu to her, it was just like how they first met.

"You know, I bet you would never make a girl fall in love with you," Haru said to Fye, he was Fye's friend, but couldn't resist a bet.

"I could make a girl love me any time I want," Fye shot back, glaring at Haru. "It's just that I don't have time for those kinds of things."

"It's not that you don't have time, it's that you can't," Haru said pleasantly to Fye.

"Fine, I'll accept that bet, but on what accounts can we make this more interesting?" Fye asked.

"Fall in love with that girl over there, Ino," smiled Haru.

Syaoran felt annoyance and fear while watching. It was like the directors had taken his life and rubbed it in his face. Why the hell was he watching this movie anyways, god, it pissed him off. He was also afraid that Sakura would find out that he was playing with her. Wasn't it enough that he felt very guilty already?

"Haru, I don't want to do this bet anymore, it's idiotic that I actually agreed to your bet!" Fye shouted to Haru. "I don't want to hurt her!"

"You're not going to do this anymore?" asked Haru softly.

"Yes, I'm not going to make Ino fall in love with me just because of a bet!" Fye said.

"F-f-Fye-kun…y-you're on a b-bet to win me over?" a voice asked. It belonged to Ino; she stood by the doorway with tears in her eyes looking tearfully at Fye.

"No, Ino, it's not what you think!" protested Fye.

"I LOVED YOU! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!" screamed Ino tearfully and ran out the door.

Was this going to happen when Sakura found out about the bet? His mind was full of thoughts about the bet, and that's all he thought about until the end of the movie. Could he do this bet? He wasn't so sure anymore.

After Movie, At Syaoran's House… (Night)

"That was a great movie," smiled Sakura as Syaoran opened the door to the library.

"Yah," Syaoran forced out.

"Great food too," Sakura said. After the movie they had gone to a café and just bought some sandwiches to eat.

"Hmm, so ready for the test tomorrow?" asked Syaoran trying to forget the movie.

"Well, do you want to test me?" asked Sakura.

"Sure," Syaoran said as Sakura handed him the Toudai book.

Next Day…
"Hmm, what time is it?" groaned Sakura waking up. Her eyes meet the clock and it read 8:10. She gasped. The exam started at 9:00 and it took about 30 minutes to get to the exam center. "Li, where are you? I need you to drive me! Why didn't you wake me up!"

"HMMMMPHMMM" a voice came that seemed much muffled.

Sakura looked down and noticed that her hand was on Syaoran's mouth and nose. "AHHHH! What the hell are you doing here!"

"I think I fell asleep here yesterday…" Syaoran mumbled after Sakura had taken her hand off. "By accident,"

"What!" she paused for a second and screamed at him, "Never mind that! You have to drive me to Toudai! It's already 8:12; the exam starts at 9:00. I'm going to be late!"

"Okay, I'll be outside with the car, just don't forget your examination slip," said Syaoran as he got up and quickly ran out.

Sakura quickly took her bag and re-checked to make sure she had her slip. She brushed her hair with haste and ran out the door just like Syaoran.

Later…After the Center Exam…

Syaoran was waiting outside the school. He leaned on the side of his dark green Lexus, looking around the campus. He couldn't wait for him to attend the school.

A gust of wind blew his way. He looked up and saw Sakura, in a dark green skirt and a light green shirt. She looked beautiful, especially as the wind was blowing.

'SNAP out of it! You're just thinking that because of the bet!' Syaoran mentally slapped himself as Sakura came towards his car.

"How was it?" he asked.

"I don't know, I guess math was the hardest, but I think I got most of it," Sakura said. "I think I passed though…"

"That's great! Did you see Tomoyo-san and Ichigo-chan?" he asked.

Sakura shook her head, "Tomoyo called me just a while ago, she told me she did really well and is now with Eriol. And, I don't know about Ichigo-san."

"So when are results out, like in 2 days?" he asked.

"Yah, Tomoyo said that she would come with me to see out results," Sakura said. "It's at the school, so yeah,"

"Well, let's just hope that you passed, which I'm sure you did," Syaoran said as they got into his car. "I mean, you did get all the questions correct I asked you yesterday night…"

Sakura nodded, "about yesterday night, let's just pretend that it never happened,"

Syaoran looked at her and said, "Why, didn't you like it that I accidentally slept with you?"

"Ugh, you make it seem like we had sex," muttered Sakura.

"Do you want to?" joked Syaoran.

Sakura pushed him and smacked him on the head.

"Hey, I'm driving, ya know? You do not push someone who is driving, it's dangerous," Syaoran said playfully.

Sakura scowled but secretly smiled at how Syaoran was.

Two Days Later…

"Come on! We're meeting Tomoyo and Eriol-kun at the school!" shouted Sakura. She had a purple shirt with a black skirt.

"Fine, fine," mumbled Syaoran, coming down the stairs.

"Finally!" muttered Sakura.

"Give me a break, I just woke up!" muttered Syaoran.

"Whatever, just get in the car," muttered Sakura opening the door.

"Fine, fine…" Syaoran said getting into his green Lexus. "Is your car ever going to get fixed?"

"I don't know, but they say it still might take a couple weeks…" Sakura said smoothly as Syaoran started the car.

"Really? What happened to your car?" Syaoran asked as he started driving towards Tokyo University. "Or is it that you just want to ride in my good car…"

Sakura looked at him slowly and said sarcastically, "yes, I sooooooooooooooo want to ride in this Lexus, please don't fix my car!"

"I really think that's what you really think…" Syaoran said as he passed a stop light and made a right turn.

Sakura hit him on the head and said, "What is wrong with you? Someone crashed into my car when I parked it at the bookstore and when I got back, the whole front of it was smashed, badly. It's going to take a while before I get my car back…"

"Sure…" Syaoran said in a non-believing way. "Whatever you say…"

"Ugh…" Sakura said and sat back in her seat comfortably. "Fine, whatever…"

Tokyo University…

Sakura and Syaoran finally got to Tokyo U. Syaoran parked the car on the road and Sakura got out, looking for Tomoyo and Eriol. There were many people already there looking at the results. Some were leaping for joy but some were crying because they had not passed.

They were handing out envelopes with pass and failures in them. Sakura was starting to get nervous seeing that most people had disappointed looks on their faces.

"It's okay, you'll do fine," Syaoran whispered in her ear. Sakura nodded slowly not sure.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" Sakura turned around to see Tomoyo and Eriol coming towards them.

"TOMOYO-CHAN!" Sakura yelled back smiling.

"Are you ready to–" started Tomoyo.

"Syaoran-chan!" Syaoran turned around to see Ichigo smiling at them.

"Ohayo, Ichigo-chan," Tomoyo said smiling.

"Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-kun, I haven't seen in you guys in a while!" exclaimed Ichigo.

"Did you get your results yet?" Eriol asked.

Ichigo nodded and smiled, "yep, I passed! I can take the real Toudai Test! Yes!"

"Congratulations!" Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol said simultaneously.

"I have to go; my friends are waiting for me. They're already waiting for me," smiled Ichigo. She leaned up and kissed Syaoran on the cheek and Eriol on the cheek. She ran ahead a couple of steps and said to the four, "see you guys later!"

Again the same annoyance came to Sakura when Ichigo kissed Syaoran just like last time at the restaurant.

Tomoyo smiled lightly and said to Sakura, "come on, let's go check our results."

Sakura nodded.

"Let's hope we pass," smiled Tomoyo. Sakura nodded again.

Eriol kissed Tomoyo on the forehead and hugged her.

Tomoyo and Sakura sighed and went over to the desk where people were handing out the results in envelopes.

"Name?" the guy asked who sat there with apathy.

"Kinomoto Sakura," Sakura replied.

"Daidouji Tomoyo," Tomoyo replied.

"Okay," the guy said ruffling through the folders, 'K' and 'D'.

"Here you go," he said handing each an envelope. "Good luck making it,"

"Oh, thanks," Sakura said.

"Yeah, thanks," Tomoyo said.

They walked back to where Eriol and Syaoran were, still with their envelopes closed.

"Here, I'll open it first," suggested Tomoyo. Sakura nodded.

Tomoyo ripped the top of the envelope off and took out the paper out. She took a deep breathe and said, "This is it…"

"Good luck," Syaoran and Sakura said simultaneously.

"You'll pass, I'm sure of it," Eriol said giving Tomoyo a kiss.

Tomoyo nodded and spread out the paper so that she could read what was inside. She sighed and squealed, "I passed!"

"Oh my god! That's so great! I'm so happy for you!" Sakura said hugging Tomoyo. Tomoyo smiled happily and kissed Eriol.

"Now it's my turn…" Sakura said.

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan, you'll make it, if Syaoran-kun really did help you with math, which I'm sure he did, you'll pass!" Tomoyo said.

"Yeah, you were good with all the other subjects," Eriol said. Syaoran nodded.

Sakura nodded with uncertainty. She slowly took the envelope and opened it. Her face had an expression that Syaoran could not comprehend, so he wasn't sure that if she passed or not. A gust of wind blew towards them.

"What is with the wind today?" commented Syaoran.

Sakura looked up and Syaoran, "I passed!"

"You did!" asked Syaoran.

Sakura nodded and did something her body made her do, no matter what she thought.

She kissed him.

Yah! Sakura kissed him!
