Skating Figure

Chapter: 25

Tuesday ,September, 2

Sakura had been feeling like crap all day, it was nearly 2:30 in the afternoon and she was itching to go to cheerleading practice they had a soccer game coming up soon and the soccer team couldn't be more pumped up about there mystery competition. But still Syaoran was tripping about her ex-boyfriend Ryo turning up out of no where. Sakura felt a little embarrassed about everything and hence the reason for feeling like crap.

Sakura looked at her pink watch, it's almost time to leave. Sakura heart was beating rapidly as the clocked ticked away. English class was just as boring at reading another romance novel from Miss Xi. Sakura looked out the window seeing Tomoyo stand up and began reading:

There he was, my escape from this hell of a life, but it's even more of a hell now that he has found someone else. What was I doing? Thinking he liked me, hell, even loved me. Why is it that this happens to me, and then my Ex turns up. And I thought he'd be a little worried about me. Damn at least call,

Sakura looked to Tomoyo who seemed into the book but Sakura ignored everything she was hearing and then suddenly the Bell rang for school being out. Sakura stood up and walked out the class room with Tomoyo jogging to catch up with her. "Sakura, you alright? I called you but you didn't pick up your phone." Tomoyo said adjusting her backpack. "I'm fine." Sakura answered walking out the school and onto the stairs walking slowly seeing Syaoran and a large group of guys and Mei holding his hand and talking all at once.

Sakura looked at the cheerleaders running to practice Sakura walked over along with Tomoyo who were in there uniforms. Sakura sighed picking up her pom-poms and began cheering with the other and doing flips.

By the end of there practice Sakura was oddly sore and sleepy. Sakura walked and waved good bye to Eriol and Tomoyo who had something planned already so Sakura began walking home.

"Hey, Sakura!"

Sakura stopped and looked up seeing Syaoran jumping off a tree in front of her. "You okay, I was a little worried about you yesterday, you seemed off." Syaoran said walking with her across the street two blocks from her house. "It's nothing." Sakura said blushing at Syaoran worried face. "Yeah, sure. Is that why you looked like you saw a ghost." Syaoran said seriously. "If you really must know, that was Ryo Hadaki, my ex-boyfriend." Sakura exclaimed quickly. "Oh." was all Syaoran could say.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Sakura said rolling her eyes. "Sorry, so what are you buggin' about if your not dating him?" Syaoran asked. "It's just we had kind of a trust problem." She said with a sigh. "Let me guess, he was cheating on you?" Syaoran said. Sakura nodded. And Syaoran began laughing. "This is funny Li!" Sakura shouted annoyed. Syaoran put of his hands up not meaning to offend Sakura. "It's not that, it's just always the case with guys." Syaoran exclaimed. Sakura just sighed. "Whatever, that's all and I broke up with him. The End." She said quickly.

"Mmm, so what? He wants you back?" Syaoran asked losing his school tie. Sakura nodded. " 'Oh baby, let me explain.' " Sakura mocked. Syaoran shrugged. "Like I should know."

"So what's with you and Mei, you seem really close." Sakura asked knowing the answer but wanted to hear him say it for herself. Syaoran blushed a little. "Nothing." He answered. "Really, when did you meet her?" Sakura asked. "Drivers ed, I am now an official driver, I had to learn early anyway, I'm picking out cars with John soon even if I picked one already, but that one is for home." Syaoran exclaimed. "Oh, it's be months since you started dating huh?" Sakura said looking sad but tried hard not to show it.

Syaoran was about to say something but stopped. "How did you know?" He said puzzled. "It's obvious, she's all over you, holding you hand and everything." Sakura answered. Syaoran laughed nervously rubbing the back of his neck. "She really does make it noticeable

'Yeah, especially when her tongue is half way down your throat.' Sakura thought coldly. "Anyway, do you even like her, I mean." Sakura asked trying to keep cool. "Yeah, I can't see what's not to like about her." Syaoran said seeming serious about what he was saying. "Bet she can't ice skate." Sakura said meanly. Syaoran didn't notice Sakura's tone but just laughed. "Yep, she can't even stand on the Ice, let along any kind of blade." Syaoran said.

Sakura tried not to laughed but it didn't seem to work. "Have you found a partner for pair skating this season?" Sakura asked trying to change to subjected. "No, but I have had lots of offers, I still want to skate with Kiwi but It'll be hard since we go to different schools now, I have to ask her." Syaoran answered. "How about me? We can be partners." Sakura asked. Syaoran chuckled. "As fun as that sounds that can't happen." He said.

"Why not? are you calling me fat?" Sakura said putting her hand on her hips stopping. Syaoran shook his head. "No. It's not that, it take lots of training to learn the unions, the lifts, and hand positions, it's really harder then it looks." Syaoran said seriously. "Well, at least show me something, for fun." Sakura added. "Okay, I'll get Kiwi and we can go to the indoor rink." Syaoran said. "Tomorrow, maybe?" Sakura asked. "Yeah, I'll meet you there after soccer practice." Syaoran said. Sakura this time actually smiled. "So you are taking soccer, too." Sakura said. Syaoran nodded. "I have a match soon, some mystery game or some shit." Syaoran said. Sakura was surprised. "Oh My God, me too." She said excited.

"I guess are school aren't too different, Oh, I almost forgot." Syaoran stopped and dug into his bag and took out a square piece of paper. "I have another match before the soccer game, they said I could invite anyone I want, so I thought of you, Eriol, and Himeko. I would invite Tomoyo but she said that she had singing lessons to go to." Syaoran exclaimed. "Wow, your taking a lot of classes this semester." Sakura said looking down at the date. "You can invite your Brother and Father if you want." Syaoran said as he continued to walk.

Sakura jumped on Syaoran giving his a big hug. "Thanks, I'll totally be there cheering you on." She said. Syaoran blushed a little and smiled back. Sakura let go and put the invite papers in her purse. "So where are you headed?" Sakura asked as the crossed the street. "Macy's, her Mom and Dad found out about what happened and their pissed. I called last night but all I really could hear was screaming and crying." Syaoran said.

"I still can't believe it." Sakura said feeling really bad for Macy. "Garry's been a real help." Syaoran said as he stopped at Sakura steps. Sakura walked up a few and looked down to Syaoran who looked deep in thought. "Something wrong?" Sakura asked. "You know, Garry really is helping Macy out a lot, he can't concentrate like he use to before this happened." Syaoran said putting his hand on his chin. "Maybe his just worried." Sakura said. "I know that, I think he likes Macy." Syaoran said. Sakura smiled putting both her hands on her cheek.

"Oh, that so romantic." Sakura squealed. Syaoran rolled his eyes. "But that's only what I think, I have to ask him myself." he said. "I'll see you tomorrow." Sakura said opening the door seeing Touya waiting. Syaoran bowed to Touya in respect and say good-bye to Sakura.

Sakura shut and locked the door taking off her shoes. "Sure took you a hell of a long time to get home, Monster." Touya said looking out the peep hole in the door. "So." Sakura said with a smile walking into the dinning room and kissing her Father on the cheek. "I walked with Syaoran." Sakura exclaimed. "Syaoran Xiao lang Li?" Mr. Kinomoto said impressed. Sakura nodded as she poured herself some hot tea. "Smart boy, I was a guest speaker at his school today, very smart boy." He said. Touya sighed. "Great, now my Father is brainwashed by the boys looks and intelligence." Touya said picking up his cup. "Oh, he invited us to see him fight at a match." Sakura said opening her purse and taking out the invites and handing it to her Father.

"Ah, so he knows self-defense. Very Smart." Sakura's Father added smiling. "Great, It'll give him a fighting chance and then I'll knock him on his ass." Touya said with a grin. "Touya, C'mon now his inviting us." Mr. Kinomoto said. "Oh Please can we go?" Sakura begged. "Say no, Dad." Touya said. Sakura shot a nasty look to her Brother. "Well, he was so kind to invite us, We can go." He said with a smile. Sakura jumped up nearly knocking over her tea. "Yay!" She shouted.

Touya groaned. "You really should have said no, you always spoil her." Touya said. "Your going to behave, Touya, I don't want you making of fool of me in front of Syaoran." Sakura said blushing and ran out the room with her backpack and ran up stairs.

Syaoran walked to Macy house deep in thought. He thought Garry might like Macy, but how? He never was close with her like he was. Syaoran stopped at the white house and knocked on the door. The door opened revealing Kiwi. "What the hell are you doing here?" Syaoran said surprised as Kiwi let him in. "Macy's sick she's caught a flu." Kiwi said as she shut the door. "Does she have a fever?" Syaoran asked worried. "Yeah, it's really high. 115.6" Kiwi said. "Damn, what was she doing?" Syaoran said seeing John holding a tray of soup.

"She said she took a walk without a coat the other night." John said walking up the stairs along with Syaoran and Kiwi. "Make sure you take something tonight, you can't be getting sick." John said opening Macy door. Her room was yellow and it had models and her designs all over the wall and her desk that had her apple lap top and she school books and a pile of fashion magazines. Macy was sitting up looked pale and awful.

"Hey Syao." She said smiling. Syaoran smiled back and felt Macy forehead. "I can't believe you, first you said you were fine and over it, now look at you." Syaoran said sitting on her bed as John put Macy's favorite cream of potato soup on her lap. "I'm so sorry, Guys. I feel like such a loser acting like this making you all worried." Macy said and began to cry. John sighed and gave her a tissue. "Thanks." She said.

"Dude, you can't let him beat you down like this. His a piece of shit, he didn't know what he had." John said patting Macy shoulder softly. "Yeah, If I were him I would be sorry." Kiwi said. "Yeah, so don't worry about it. You'll find someone else." Syaoran said standing up hearing the door bell ring.

"Thanks." Macy said with a tear running down her cheek. "No more crying, Babe. You gotta eat, you wanna see Syaoran fight, right?" John said with a smile. Macy nodded and picked up her spoon and began eating her soup. "We'll be back." Kiwi said taking John's hand and shutting the door.

"Jo-Jo, that was so sweet." Kiwi said hugging John. John smiled. "C'mon, she's one of my best friends now." He said. Kiwi smirked and kissed John. Syaoran came up with Garry who was holding a box. John wrapped his arms around Kiwi continuing to kiss her. Garry looked to Syaoran who shook his head.

"Hey guys." Garry said making Kiwi and John break there kiss. "Oh, hey Garry." Kiwi said a little embarrassed. "Go in. She's eating right now." Syaoran said and Garry opened the door and shut it behind him. Syaoran pushed John and Kiwi to the next room trying to hear what they were saying.

"Syaoran, What the hell are you doing?" John said. "I'm trying to hear, shut up." Syaoran said putting his ear to the wall. "Why?" Kiwi said. "I think Garry has a crush on Macy." Syaoran said exclaimed quickly.

Garry walked over to Macy and sat down. "How are you feeling?" Garry said with his cheeks slightly blushed. "A little better, I'm sorry to make you worry so much." Macy said finished her soup and setting the bowl on her night stand. "It's okay." Garry said.

On the other side of the wall. Now Kiwi and John were listening. "I got you something, thought it might cheer you up a bit." Garry said handing Macy a box. "You didn't have to." Macy said with a smile. Garry just shrugged and Macy gasped when she saw the two way T mobile phone, that took picture and instant message, and three way calling. "Oh, Gar." Macy said picking it up.

Syaoran pressed his ear hard on the wall trying to head what Macy got. "An IM, a digital camera, and a phone." Macy said smiling. "It was a deal at the mall for two, I got myself one and you one in case you wanna talk." Garry said. Macy got out her bed and hugged Garry. "You really are the coolest friends I'll ever have." Macy said. Garry hugged Macy back and let her go. "C'mon you have to get back in bed." Garry said as Macy let go. "Thanks again for the phone." Macy said and kissed Garry on the cheek.

Garry and Macy looked in each other eyes. Garry would hear a million poems going through his head about Macy. Macy and Garry made the chair lean back and they were about to kiss each other and them they fell. Syaoran, Kiwi, and John ran out the other room and went into Macy's room seeing Garry and Macy on the floor rubbing there heads. "We heard something fall, you guys okay?" John asked. Garry and Macy groaned getting up.

"Were fine." Garry said helping Macy up and picking up the chair. "Cool, we'll make some cookies and we all can watch a movie after our homework." Garry took the tray and smiled to Macy and left the room with the others. Garry handed John the tray. "Oh, Macy's parents gave me some money just in case, we need some eggs, do you mind getting them." John said to Garry. "Sure, I'll be back." Garry said taking the money from John and heading to the door. Syaoran, Kiwi, and John waited to hear the door shut.

"Damn!" Kiwi said stomping her foot. "I could tell they almost kissed each other, you should have seen the blush on Garry cheek." She said. "Mmm, I guess I was right." Syaoran said getting some sugar and flour for the cookies. "That's it, we confront him, and ask him. Make him confess. I don't think it's fair, why doesn't he just tell her." Macy said. "Well, If you were dating someone you really like and found out they were cheating no you and I like you and wanted to tell you that while you were confused and hurt how would you feel?" John said.

Kiwi seemed to be thinking. "Confused?" She said. Syaoran nodded. "Maybe, but in Macy's case she just needs to get better and get over it." Syaoran said putting a bowl on the counter. "Oh, Kiwi, do you mind coming with me to show Sakura some moves?" Syaoran asked. Kiwi nodded. "You spend a lot of time thinking about Sakura." John said sitting on the counter. "So, she a friend." Syaoran said. Kiwi looked to John and then by began laughing. Syaoran sighed. "I don't like her like that." Syaoran protested. "I thought I did but I don't, okay?" Syaoran said.

"Dude you kissed her more then once and liked it, you've taken her out more then once and you have a picture on her in you wallet, you like her, man." John exclaimed.

"Piss off." Syaoran said.

"John has a point." Kiwi said. "What about Mei?" Syaoran said. "Your not buggin' me about her."

"That's because Mei, is a hoodrat. She's been around the block with guys. You gotta dump her before you catch her sucking face with Nick." John said. "Why would you say that?" Syaoran said. "Don't you see how she acts around Nick, crossing her legs, flipping her hair, batting her eyes. She doesn't like you, she's only with you for your money." John said. Kiwi nodded.

Syaoran began to have flashbacks of How Mei acted around Nick he never noticed., Nick was a swimmer at the acadamy. Captain in fact very good looking.

"Just dump her, you might be better off with Sakura." Kiwi said. Syaoran began thinking really hard. He like hanging out with Sakura but Mei was his girlfriend and he liked her too. It was so confusing. Garry came back with the eggs. "Hey, I'm back." He said. John turned he his as Garry entered the kitchen. "We have to talk." Kiwi said.

Garry looked confused and sat the eggs down as Syaoran began to start the sugar cookies. Macy's favorite of course. "It's about Macy." Syaoran said cutting to the chase. "Her fever went up?" Garry said panicked. "No, it's about you and Macy." John said picking up an apple and biting into it. "What about Macy and Me, were just friends." Garry said.

"But It's not what you want you two to be, you want more then that right?" Kiwi said. Garry sat on a stool and tried to keep his cool. "What are you talking about?" He said. "Okay, drop the bullshit, you ass. Syaoran thinks you like Macy, true or false?" John said. "False." Garry answered biting his lip.

"Your lying," Kiwi said. "You always bit your lip when you lie."

Garry blushed and turned away. "If you like her why didn't you say anything?" Syaoran said mixing the cookie dough together. "She's our friend, how would it feel if I liked a friend?" Garry said not resisting anymore.

"John and I are dating, and were both friends with Syaoran and we were friends in the first place." Kiwi said. "Yeah, but this is different." Garry said with a sigh. "How?" Syaoran said. "Well, she's one of your best friends, and I didn't want to distance her from you guys because of me." He exclaimed.

"You won't, we'll all still be friends." Syaoran said looking to Garry. "So how long have you liked her?" John asked. "Do you have to ask that?" Kiwi said hitting John arm as he was about to bit his apple. "What it's not like I'm asking if he saw her naked or something, Damn." John protested. Kiwi rolled her eyes and turned on the oven for Syaoran and got some cookie sheets.

"When I first met Macy." Garry said blushing with embarrassment. Garry's friends stopped what they were doing and looked to Garry in shock.

"How cute." Kiwi said. "Is that why you couldn't say your name right." Syaoran laughed. Garry nodded. "Yeah, I remember, that was funny as shit. First you were Harry, then Barry White." John laughed. "Yeah, Ha-ha." Garry said sarcastically. "You should have told her before she started dating that guy." Kiwi said.

"It's not that easy." Garry said. "Dude, you're a poet you should never have a hard time telling someone how you feel." John said. "Just call it writers block then." Garry said. Syaoran laughed as he finished mixing the dough. "Well, you have to tell her sooner or later before the next guy pops up." Syaoran said.

"How?"

"Well, take her out." Kiwi said. "Yeah, she's sick." Garry said. "Then do something romantic, dinner in bed or something."

"Yeah, and dessert on the couch." John said with a grin. Kiwi threw a dish towel at John's face. "What?" He said. "But dude you know what I mean, show her a good time." He said. Garry nodded taking his friends advise. "Yeah, when she feels a little better, take her to the arcade, she love that place a block before the mall, Media Players." Syaoran said. Garry nodded and got out his black poem book and began writing down his friends advise.

"And take her mall shopping she like shoes." Kiwi said. "And take her to the cliff where the beach is for dinner, it's a great sun set there." Syaoran said. "She's likes that take-out place on Tion street." John said. "And then take her to a scary movie, that way you guys can hold hands." Kiwi said with a dreamy looking on her face.

"Anything else?" Garry asked. "Yeah, say nice things to her nothing embarrassing and bring up fun times with us, so she doesn't know it's really a date." Syaoran. "I told Macy her boots were nice, she was happy all night even when we fell in the water fountain." Syaoran said. "Mmm, are we missing something?" Kiwi said looking to John and Syaoran who shook there heads. "Um. . .Oh, now I remember take pictures through out the date, she likes pictures." John said and Garry wrote it down.

"Damn, And I thought I knew Macy." Garry said. "Now, you have plenty of time to arrange this, and at the end of the date, bring up small talk and work your way into telling her." Kiwi said. Garry nodded and noted it before taking out the paper and putting it in his pocket. "This is exciting." Kiwi said squealed and jumped on John as he got off the counter and threw his apple core in the trash.

"I feel like doing something else good." Syaoran said putting the cookies in the oven setting a timer. "Thanks guys. For understanding." Garry said with a smile. "That's what he do, man. Understand each other, that's why were all good like peanut butter and chocolate." He said. Syaoran laughed. "You thought of that." He said. John nodded. "Sounds yummy." He said. Kiwi smiled to John and kissed his cheek.
