Previously…
Sakura's p.o.v
"I said LUNCH not dessert!" She complained as I handed her, her ice-cream
"Fine, don't have it. More for me" I said, taking it back
"Oi! Don't be a pig now" She said snatching the ice-cream out of my hand.
"Look who's a pig now huh?" I said as she was scoffing down the ice-cream.
As we sat there on the brick wall near the ice cream store I wondered…should I say something? I'm basically repeating myself here but I know I have to say something about it.
"You know, I like chocolate, but cookies and cream is the best flavour!" She said as she was eating her ice cream.
I looked over at Sakura who was quickly eating her ice cream because it was starting to melt and I realised ... she is different from any other girl I Have hung out with before. She is different and ... I have officially fallen for her. No doubt about it, but I don't think I'll ever tell.
well, not now anyway.
Chapter 11: I've fallen for this idiot
In my head there's only you now
This world could fall on me
In this world there's real and make-believe …
This feels real to me.
Next day [in food tech class
Sakura's p.o.v
"Okay class, copy down these notes about the preservation process" The teacher said as she started to write on the white-board.
"Sakura..." Tomoyo whispered as she poked my arm with her pen.
"What?" I asked (still whispering of course)
"I think someone is here to see you..." She said pointing her pen to the direction of the door.
I turned to look at the door to see Syaoran signalling me to come outside.
I shook my head, but he kept on signalling me to come outside and I kept signalling him no.
"Is something wrong Sakura?" Asked the teacher.
I quickly looked away from the door and looked at her.
"No Miss" I said quickly.
She then looked at the door and saw nothing.
"Then get back to work" She said and continued writing on the board.
I looked back at the door to see no-one there. Maybe Syaoran gave up and left.
Just then his head popped up...
I guess he didn't.
"Uh ... Miss. Can I go to the bathroom?" I asked, raising my arm.
"Sakura ..." She said.
"I uh ... Really need to go" I said.
"Fine" She said and I got out of my seat.

Syaoran's p.o.v
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She shouted as she exited the classroom.
"Calm down woman. You want to get us in trouble?" I said.
"What's so important that it couldn't wait till lunch? And I think the majority of my food tech class wants to kill me"
"I have my exam now" I interrupted.
"What!" She yelled "Then why are you still here? GO, GO!" Pushing me towards the office.
"But I don't remember a thing!" I said
"Yes you do, your just nervous, which is something I've never seen you be. Just remember everything I've said and you'll do fine" She said.
That isn't going to work! If I think of her, I'm going to lose concentration!
We made our way to office.
I just sighed.
"Fine" I said and we both entered.
"Ah, Syaoran, The principle is waiting for you" Her assistant said
I turned around to face Sakura
"Can you wait for me?" I asked.
"Wait for you?" She said.
"Yeah, to be my cheer squad when I pass" I said, smirking.
"Yeah right, like I would cheer" She said as she rolled her eyes.
"Come on, I just need someone to be there" I said.
"But it'll take at least an hour and a bit. I cant wait that long, I'll be at my next lesson by then, which will be English" She said.
"Come on" I begged.
"When you finish your exam, just ... just meet me in front of my locker" She said
"Great" I said, as I walked into the principle's office.
I need to tell her how I feel today. Truth be told, she is the first person I want to see when I finish this exam.

Sakura's p.o.v
English class
I glanced down at my watch.
'2 more minutes'
Should probably go now. I don't know why he wants me there; I mean he could just tell me after school, or tomorrow what his results are.
"Miss, can I go to the bathroom?" I asked.

As I walked down the hallway, I saw Syaoran leaning against the lockers.
"About time woman" He said, pushing himself off the locker.
"You're here already?! How long have you been waiting?" I asked
"2 minutes" He said, looking at his watch.
"That's nothing!" I exclaimed.
"That's everything!" He said.
"That doesn't even make sense! But forget that, how did you go?" I asked.
"I..." He paused.
"Yeah..." I said
"I..." he repeated.
"Hurry up!" I shouted.
"I passed" He said.
"You did?!" I said.
He nodded.
"YEA!!" I shouted, as I hugged him.
... Wait? I'm hugging him?
I quickly pulled away and we both just looked at each other.
"Uh...yea. Thanks to my great tutoring" I said, breaking the awkwardness between us.
WHAAAA !!! Another awkward moment that's going to haunt me!
"And ... you no longer have to be stuck with me because its over" He said.
"Huh?" I said.
"The punishment thing. Its over" He said.
"Really?!" I said.
Sure, by now I thought I'd be jumping up and down and screaming at the top of my lungs, but frankly … there was something inside me. I was not all that excited about it.
"Yup" He said "So I guess no more sitting next to each other in class, which means no more poking"
"Huh. I guess not" I simply said.

Lunch
"Well, aren't you thrilled that you and Syaoran are no longer stuck together? I mean, this is practically the day that you've been waiting for" Tomoyo said as we sat down at one of the picnic tables.
"Yeah, this is the day that I've been waiting for but..." I said, pausing.
"But ... you have fallen for the guy" Tomoyo said casually, eating her apple.
"No I haven't!" I protested, as I stood up, slamming my hands on the table.
"Just face the facts. You have fallen for him" She said again, sounding calm.
"No I -" I looked at Tomoyo, who had raised her eye-brow at me, while eating her apple.
I dropped back down onto the seat and leaned my head on my arms
"At first he was a total jerk and such an idiot, that I couldn't stand being around him. Does nothing but pick on me. But as the days went on, I realised he is not like all the other popular jerks at school. He is actually ... fun to hang out with and ... I don't want this to end. Being with him, I have so much fun. Even though half the things he does to me is cruel and mean, but its just that … I feel I can actually be myself with him" I said, as I rested my chin on my hand as I finally came to a realisation…
"Oh my gosh, I think I love this idiot jerk" I said.
"FINALLY! Sakura Kinomto has fallen in love!" Tomoyo yelled, throwing her arms up into the air.
"This isn't something really to celebrate about" I mumbled.
"And why not?" She said, falling back onto the seat.
"Because I don't stand a chance. So many girls want him and he can have any one of them" I said.
"I'm telling you, the guy likes you. When you tell me about all the things that happen between you two, its pretty obvious how he feels" She said
"You honestly expect me to believe that a guy like him would like me?" I said.
"Well, did you ever expect you'd fall for him?" She asked.
"Uh…no"
"Exactly. Love these days happen in weird and strange ways." She said so simply.
"Still…don't think it'll work" I mumbled.

End of day
Syaoran's p.o.v
"Okay, I need to tell her. No matter what" I mumbled to myself as we exited from science class.
"Tell who what?" Asked Sakura, as she popped out from behind me.
"Nothing!" I snapped.
"Shesh, calm down, just wanted to know" She said
"Sorry, just got a lot of things on my mind right now" I said.
"Well spill. You should be happy because you passed!" She said.
"Uh ... It's like I want you to know but I don't want to tell you" I said.
"Uh ... I think I understand" She said, scratching her head.
I just chuckled.
"Well yea, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out or something. You passed your exam, thought you'd like you celebrate or something" She asked
"You wanna hang out?" I said sounding surprised because she has never asked me to hang out with her. Its usually me dragging her around the place.
"Yea, my shout" She said so proudly
"Sakura Kinomoto. Shouting someone out? This is new" I said as I let out a chuckle.
"Hey, I'm not cheap. Let's go for milkshakes yea?" She said, grabbing hold of my wrist and dragging me out the school before I could even answer.

Sakura's p.o.v
I was just thinking about what Tomoyo was saying. Could someone like him really like me?
"Earth to Sakura" I heard Syaoran say as he waved a hand in front of my face.
"Huh" I said as I snapped back into reality.
"Not enjoying your shake?" He asked, taking a sip of his milkshake.
"No, no. Its fine" I said, as I smiled and also took a sip from my drink.
We just sat there on the bench in the park in silence watching the sun slowly set in the distance.
"You know something?" He said, breaking the silence.
"What?" I asked, turning to face him.
"You know. This is actually quite relaxing" He said
"What is?" I asked
"This. Sitting here and just enjoying a milkshake that YOU bought" He said, poking me when he said 'you' and turning back to look out at the sun set.
I just continued watching him as he watched the sun set. I can't believe this is the same guy I couldn't stand being with, and now I'm sitting here, drinking a milkshake with him and watching the sun set with.

Syaoran's p.o.v
"Well this is new" I heard her say
"Huh?" I said, now turning to face her
"Mr. Big shot Trouble-maker has a soft side" she said with a big grin on her face, poking me.
"Its not a soft side" I said, grabbing her hand that was poking me
"Yeah right" She said and took back the hand I took.
"You know, your really something Syaoran" She said as she took another sip from her drink
"And your really something … amazing" I said
"What?" She said.
I looked over at her and I guess it looked like she didn't hear me because of her loud sipping and the fact that she was looking into her drink.
"I need to tell you something" I said.
"Yea" She said, looking up from her drink.
I looked at her and started thinking … if I told her; it could ruin what we have now.
"Oh…never mind. Come on, I'll take you home" I said as I got up from the bench
"Aww, its too early" she said as she still sat there.
"No its not, the sun has already set. Come on now" trying to drag her off the bench.
"Fine" She said, giving up as she got up.

"Home sweet home" She sang as we arrived at her house
"Yea, well this was fun" She added
"Yea, I mean you shouted me out a drink. This I'll never forget" I said laughing.
"Hey! It was about time I bought something for you" She said with a smile.
I couldn't help but smile back
"Oh! You wanted to tell me something earlier" She said.
I thought she would have forgotten.
"Don't worry. It's not important" I said.
"Aww. Come on. You can tell me" She said, nudging me to tell her.
"Don't worry your little head about it" I said, patting her on the head.
"Hey! I ain't no dog, but fine then, I wont worry about it … for now" she said, as she walked up the steps to the door.
"Hey!" I shouted out before she opened the door.
"What?" She said, turning around.
"You better be ready for school on Monday at 8:10am" I said.
"And why should I?" She replied
"Because I'll be waiting right here and if your not ready by then, I'm going to come in there and drag you out of your house in whatever your wearing" I said
"We don't have to meet up in the mornings anymore" She said
"Hm, true, but it won't hurt to still walk together right?" I said and smile, which she in returned, smiled back
"I guess"
She turned around and waved goodbye as she entered the house

Normal p.o.v
"Bye" He manage to say, but probably a little late seeing she was already gone.
He stood there, staring at the door for a little bit longer, thinking if he should have told her, but also thinking it might ruin what they have now.
'I should have told her' He thought to himself
"I…I love you" He mumbled to himself before walking away.
