Part 13. Chemistry
Eriol let out a sigh, "How'd you guys find out?"
Chiharu opened her backpack and threw Tomoyo's diary on the space on the table in front of him, "Straight from Miss Tomoyo herself."
Naoko raised an eye-brow, "Wait, I thought you put it ba---" She looked at Chiharu, "OH MY GOD! YOU STOLE IT!" She yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Chiharu.
Chiharu sweat-dropped and pulled Naoko's finger down, "Hunny, you stole it from the library, we are way past stealing."
Naoko sweat-dropped, "Oh... Yeah."
Eriol looked at them, "You stole her diary?!"
Chiharu and Naoko looked at each other then at Eriol, "No! Of course not!" He raised an eye-brow, "We merely borrowed it from the library." Naoko said, which was actaully half true.
"What am I supposed to do with it?" Eriol asked.
Chiharu scoffed, "Eat it?" She rolled her eyes, "What do you do with a notebook full of words Eriol?" He looked at her, "Read it stupid!"
Eriol glared at her, "I know that!" He pushed the diary away, "But that stuff is personal! I'm not touching it!"
Naoko shrugged, "Then don't." Chiharu and Eriol looked at her, "Let's just say I opened the book and your eyes just simply wandered onto a few words... Say this page?" She said opening to a diary page.
Eriol tried not to look at the page, but ended up looking anyway, "So, Mister Hiiragizawa," Chiharu paused, "Care to explain?"

1 Hour Left Of Detention
"So
shalt thou show me friendship. Take thou that:
Live, and be
prosperous: and farewell, good fellow."
Syaoran recited to an imaginary 'Balthasar'.
"Thou
detestable maw, thou womb of death,
Gorged with the dearest
morsel of the earth,
Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to
open,
And, in despite, I'll cram thee with more food!"
I
let out a yawn and closed my script, "This is
borrrriiiinnnnnnggggggg!"
Syaoran eyed her, "We need to practice!"
I shrugged, "Tomorrow during class, we have plenty of time."
"We're doing scenery tomorrow."
I smiled, "Even better!"
Syaoran bopped her on the head with his script, "You never change."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Nope, not at all." He said with a shy smile.
I blushed, "Eh... Man I can't wait to get out of here."
"Well who's fault was it in the first place?"
"Yours."
"No it wasn't!"
"Yes it was!"
"You just HAD to paint me with that stupid red paint."
"That was an accident, YOU were the one who painted me while I was apologizing and trying to help get the paint off your face!" I said, crossing my arms.
"Getting the paint off my face?" Syaoran scoffed, "You were spreading it on my face!"
My jaw dropped, "Was not!"
"Was to!"
"Well who through the yellow paint huh?!" I asked, "The one that covered the majority of the stage?"
Syaoran pointed at her, "You?"
"Nuh uh!" I paused, "I threw the brown paint!"
"AHA!" Syaoran stood up, "YOU ADMIT IT!"
"NO --- YOU TRI---"
"QUIIIIIIEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!" Syaoran and I turned around, "THIS. IS. A. LIBRARY."
"Sorry." Syaoran and I apologized and bowed in unison.
"I'm surprised two people who argue non-stop are going to be the Romeo and Juliet of the Senior class play." She nodded in disapproval, "Did you not know Romeo and Juliet were madly in love and never argued?!" The librarian asked, closing her novel.
I looked at her, I scoffed, I'm pretty sure Romeo and Juliet argued at least once. "Erm, yeah... We're practicing the lines as best we cou---"
"By the looks of it you two need more work on chemistry than on the lines!" The librarian walked over to us, "Recite Act 1, scene 5, lines 100 to line 122." She moved the table aside, had us stand up, grabbed a chair and sat down in front of us. Syaoran and I looked at each other in shock, "Go on." The librarian said, holding their scripts.
Syaoran shrugged and cleared his throat,
"If I
profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle
fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To
smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."
He said, facing me, holding his hand up.
"Good
pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion
shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do
touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss." I
said, slowly putting my palm on his.
I blushed a bright red, we were holding hands...
"Have
not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" Syaoran
asked, our hands still touching.
"Ay,
pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer."
I said, nodding.
"O,
then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant
thou, lest faith turn to despair." Syaoran
said moving closer, his amber eyes locked onto my emerald
ones.
"Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake." I said, I could feel my cheeks burning.
"Then
move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by
yours, my sin is purged." He
paused, we both knew what he had to do next. He moved his face an
inch closer to mine, he tilted my chin up slightly and kissed me.
I broke away and touched my lip, that was the second kiss we shared.
"Then
have my lips the sin that they have took." "Sin
from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again."
He broke the kiss, we looked at each other, that was the 3rd kiss.
"You kiss by the book." I whispered softly. Oh my God. Thats been 3 kisses in the past two weeks! Control yourself Saku, do not yell and jump for joy!
"MARVELOUSSSSSS!" The librarian stood up, clapping joyfully.
Syaoran and I laughed nervously and took a couple steps away from each other, "Thank you." We said, bowing.
"Now see!" The librarian looked at us, "You two make a wonderful Romeo and Juliet!" She paused, "I was wrong when I said I saw no chemistry!" She hugged us happily (and tightly might I add), "You two are the cutest highschool couple I've ever seen!"
"Erm." I cleared my throat, as I tried to get out of the librarians tight hug, "We aren't a couple?"
The librarian let go of us and gasped, "You aren't!?"
Syaoran nodded his head in no direction, "No Miss."
The librarain put her hands on her hips, "With chemistry like that?!" She went to her desk and grabbed a handful of novels, "You have more chemistry than... Than... ANY of these couples!"
I laughed nervously, "We're great actors?"
Syaoran nodded, "Eh, see? We've been practicing?"
The librarian eyed us suspiciously, "Of course, it was all staged right?" We nodded, "No real chemistry between Mister Li and Miss Kinomoto." Again, we nodded, "Right of course, only Romeo and Juliet had chemistry." Another nod, "Sensei was smart to chose to people who were not in love but surely played the part of two lovers well."
I looked at Syaoran, was our school librarian the weirdest librarian in the world or what? "Uh... Sure?"
The librarian sat her desk, "Hah, I was crazy no? To think that Romeo and Juliet, was Romeo and Juliet on and off stage!"
Syaoran raised an eye-brow, "Huh?"
"Nothing, Sensei'll be here in a couple minutes, you two better pack your things!" She smiled, re-opening her book, "There is chemistry between you two! A romance novel fanatic like me can always tell." She mumbled under her breathe.
"Huh?" We asked.
"Huh? Oh nothing dearies! I didn't see anything, nothing at all..." The librarian smiled, "Except for the sight of teenage love." She whispered quickly.
"See?" Syaoran whispered to me.
I shrugged, "Maybe she meant say?"
"I think that woman has had a bit to many books to read." Syaoran said, twirling his finger near his ear, "She's gone crazyyyy."
I giggled and playfully slapped him, "Syaoran!"
Syaoran shrugged, "What?!"

"Actually, no, I do not 'care to explain.'" Eriol said standing up, ready to leave.
Chiharu smiled, "Right, of course, we can't force you to tell us." Eriol looked at her suspiciously, "However, I don't really think Tomoyo would like the fact you read her diary."
"So did you!"
"Yeah, but you have not proof of that." Chiharu said smiling.
"Well you don't have proof I d--" Chiharu held up her camera phone, revealing a picture of Eriol reading her diary. "How... Why... You guys are evil."
Naoko smiled, "So we've been told."
Eriol sat back down, "Well... I'm engaged."
