CHAPTER FOUR
NEW FACE
**TOMOYO**
I stared at what seems to be a heart-shaped card that Sakura is waving right in front of us.
I peered closely to take a good look. "What is that?" I asked curiously.
"THIS, is a card." Sakura spatted out, looking very disgusted. She handed me the card so I could see it for myself. "Somebody's idea of a sick joke."
Rika, Naoko and Chiharu quickly clustered around me as I anxiously read the card. You could see how we are all wondering what is written in it that could get Sakura all bent out of shape.
"Kawaii." Chiharu whispered ever so softly after reading the card, obviously lowering her voice so that Sakura couldn't hear her.
I smiled discreetly and nodded at Chiharu. I certainly agree with her. This, is definitely kawaii material. I mean, somebody asking you out to be his valentine this early? I also liked the fact that this person chose not to reveal his true identity; it really adds up to the mystery and makes this whole thing more romantic.
However, as I took a glance at Sakura who is busy closing her locker, I decided not to speak out my thoughts. I certainly do not want her to get even more pissed off.
After reading the card, I handed it back to Sakura who just carelessly tossed it inside her bag.
"What's the matter with the card?" Syaoran asked.
"You haven't read it, do you?" Sakura retorted. "Ask them. I don't want to tell it to you myself. It's so cheesy."
Syaoran turned to look at me with his eyebrow raised. He was obviously expecting a more decent answer from me.
"It's a valentine's card." I explained. "Someone is asking Sakura out to be his valentine."
"Really?" Syaoran's face looked completely surprised. I could see a small smile playing on his lips but he was wise to quickly wipe it off away. I figured out that as much as Syaoran seems to be amused by the card and how he really wants to tease Sakura, he must've decided not to risk it anymore. Even Syaoran doesn't want to mess up with her.
"Do you have even the slightest clue or idea who could've wrote it?" Eriol asked.
"No." Sakura crossed her arms. "You guys, do you have any idea who could've done this?"
The rest of us shook our heads to answer her question.
"No idea." We chorused.
Honestly, I don't have a single clue. I try to remember our classmates who could possibly do this, but it seems to me that no one has a crush on Sakura. Well, not that I know of anyway. Even though Sakura is popular and has a lot of friends who are guys, nobody seems to be interested at her romantically and gives her special treatment. They all treat Sakura as though she's `one of the boys'.
= How about...Eriol or Syaoran? = I wondered, looking at the two guys intently.
Syaoran is Sakura's only male bestfriend for years now, and it would not be impossible to say if he ended up liking her. They are definitely close with each other and can be seen most of the time together, not to mention the fact that they agree on a lot of things. Yeah, they DO agree on a lot of things inspite of their constant bickering. So in other words, they are compatible.
However, as I glanced back at Syaoran whose face seems to be devoid of any emotions, it makes me think twice at the idea that this all his doing. I also noticed earlier how Syaoran's face looked completely bewildered and surprised upon learning of Sakura's mysterious admirer.
= In fairness, he looks like he doesn't know anything about it. =
So that leaves me with Eriol. As for him, well...he's always been a nice, sweet and polite guy (What's up with Tomoyo? She makes it sound like Eriol is so... ^_~ He he. You guys know what I mean.). Not only to Sakura but also to any other girl that he knows of. Though I could say that, Eriol and Sakura are pretty good friends too. However, during their previous encounters way back then (back to card capturing days of Sakura), it seems to me that Eriol never showed any special kind of attention to Sakura. And if he did, it looks to me like it's just plain brotherly affection to me.
= So if it's not them...then who could it be? =
I guess you could say I'm completely stumped. However, I could still be wrong. I finally gave up on thinking who it is because I've already run out of ideas. I just have to wait and see who is Sakura's secret admirer when he finally revealed himself. Which I hope would be soon.
"I just wish that the person responsible for this would quit it," Sakura muttered furiously. "It isn't funny."
"You know Sakura, I have the feeling that this guy is serious about asking you out." Rika commented, looking at Sakura meekly.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.
I cleared my throat. " I think what Rika's trying to say is, that this guy wouldn't go to this kind of length just to ask you out. Unless he has other reasons, then he must have a crush on you, Sakura."
Sakura laughed at what I've just said. "That's absurd! Anyway, who would take him seriously? He doesn't even have the guts to show himself to me!"
"I think that's all part of the plan. It makes him more exciting and intriguing." Eriol shrugged at us, looking as if it's the obvious answer.
"This is certainly going to be fun. I wonder who is Sakura's boyfriend will be." Syaoran teased lightly, winking at us.
"He's not going to be my boyfriend!" Sakura's eyes widened in horror. "Shut up, Syaoran!"
Syaoran raised his arms in mock surrender. "Hey, knock it off. I'm just trying to make you laugh."
Sakura glared, as usual, at Syaoran. "Well, it's not funny."
We all sweatdropped as we watched the two doing again what they do best. Teasing and arguing.
= Things never change... = I sighed. Seems like Syaoran is back to his old, teasing self. I almost thought that he's not going to tease Sakura today because of what happened but still, Syaoran is again up to his antics.
"I have an idea." Eriol interrupted. "Why don't I treat you guys to a little sundae cone just before we finally go home? So that we could all cool our heads off. What do you think?" He looked at us expectantly.
"Thanks, but what for? You don't have to treat me." Syaoran said sarcastically. I could see Sakura stepping Syaoran on his foot.
"Ouch!" Syaoran shouted in surprise. "What did you do that for?"
Sakura whispered at Syaoran but still it was audible enough for us to hear. "That's because you`re acting like a jerk again, Syaoran. Be nice to Eriol for a change."
I noticed Syaoran glaring behind Eriol's back. I know he wasn't too keen on Eriol being a nice, little gentleman. I remembered Syaoran saying before how he doesn't trust Eriol on his acts and never will he. I think it was because how Eriol managed to deceive us that he is the half reincarnation of Clow Reed and that he even placed Sakura's life in danger. As much as Syaoran doesn't want to admit it, he is as protective of Sakura as I am.
Sakura looked at Eriol sheepishly. "Uh, don't mind him." She said, referring to Syaoran. "But really you don't have to do that,"
"That's okay with me, Sakura. Besides this is also a long day for all of us. Especially after all those exams that we had earlier." Eriol smiled. "I think we deserve a little break for all our hard work. Don't you think so?"
Sakura glanced at the rest of us, trying to check if we're okay about it. I just shrugged nonchalantly when she looked at me. It's okay with me if we head off first to eat sundae although I am also not too sure about the idea of Eriol treating all of us. It's a bit embarrassing for him to splurge his money on us.
"Well, if you insist. But, we would go only to the ice cream parlor with you if you'll let us pay for our own sundaes. How about that?" Sakura offered, trying to make a deal out of him.
"But, I was the one who invited--"
Naoko cut Eriol's sentence halfway. "No buts, Eriol. Don't be silly. We could pay for the sundae ourselves."
Eriol grinned at us. "What can I say? I don't have the chance to object especially with you guys `ganging' up on me."
"You're wise to know that. So what are we waiting for? Let's go!" I said, grinning back at him.
**SAKURA**
"Sakura," A voice said in my dreams.
= The voice sounds familiar = I thought.
"Sakura," The voice repeated again.
I tossed and turned at my bed, wondering groggily who could it be that was calling for me. After another few more seconds, the voice suddenly became completely loud as if yelling at me.
"SAKURA!!!!"
At that, I bolted upright in my bed at surprise and covered my ears. I lazily looked up at the yellow-winged creature hovering above me.
"WAKE UP!!!"
I scratched my head in annoyance. Talk about bad timing. I was just sleeping so peacefully in my bed when none other than Keroberos shouted at me.
"Okay, okay! I'm already wide awake, see?" I tried to open my eyes widely but it wouldn't cooperate. My eyelids feel so heavy that I can't help but closed it again.
= And the bed sure looks cozy... = I thought lazily.
"Hey, you're dozing off again!" I could feel Kero shaking my head slightly, trying to wake me up. "If you're not going to wake up, you are going to be late! AGAIN!"
"Huh?" I jerked back in mild surprise. I'm going to be late again. So what else is new? However, my subconscious mind is telling me something.
= Math class...first subject... = The thought took me at such surprise that I immediately stood up from my bed and lunged for my bathroom door in one swift motion. It really pays to be an athlete, you know. Or else I wouldn't be able to do these things in a flash.
"OH NO! Math is my first subject today!" I wailed while turning on the shower. "I can't afford to be late at that class! Especially when I'm on the verge of failing it!"
I quickly grab my uniform which I prepared last night and hang it up inside the bathroom. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier, Kero?" I asked.
Kero looked at me in amusement. "I've been trying to wake you up, not only once but THRICE! And on different times!"
I sighed. I am really hopeless at being punctual.
"I'll be taking my very quick shower now, Kero!"
I've finished my shower at an astounding world record speed. As soon as I finished changing into my uniform, I made a mad dash out of my bedroom, waving reminders at Kero along the way.
"Just sneak out into the kitchen for your food, will you? I am really in such a hurry!"
Kero smirked. "What's new?"
I was about to make a quick comment but decided against it. I am really going to be late and I don't have the time to argue with him. I quickly got down the stairs, taking two steps at a time. I found my brother and my dad already eating their breakfast.
"Good morning dad!"
Dad looked up at me, smiling meaningfully. I know, he's already used at this scene; me always in a hurry and scrambling to eat my food.
"Good morning." He greeted back.
"Hey, you're awfully early today squirt!" Touya, my brother, commented. "Really early for your second subject!"
"Good morning to you too, brother." I mumbled through gritted teeth. He's lucky that I am in a hurry or else I wouldn't give him the time of his day.
I immediately stood up from my desk right after eating my breakfast. I grabbed my backpack and my roller blades.
"Got to go," I called out, waving at them.
"Hey, monster! You forgot to comb your hair!" Touya reminded me.
"I am not a monster!" I said menacingly. "And I don't care about my hair! I have no time for that!"
"Anyway, when did you ever have the time do your hair?" Touya continued to tease.
"Come on, Touya. Stop that." My dad interrupted. "Sakura, just be careful out on the road, okay? I know you're in a hurry but your safety should always come first."
"I know dad." I reached out to give him a quick kiss on his cheek. "Bye," I finally said to them before rushing out of the house.
In a few minutes, after a couple of twists and turns along the road with my ever-trusty roller blades, I finally managed to reach the school in one piece. No cuts, No bruises. You could say that I'm really good at rollerblading. If it wasn't for my roller blades, I don't know how I could manage to reach my school in time. I am just really lucky to just have mastered the sport.
The second bell rang as I entered. I paused on the threshold, facing the classroom full of familiar faces and a short, pudgy man who is none other than my Math teacher.
Our Sensei smiled at me. "Well, young lady, you made it just under the wire. Another second and you would have been in trouble, Miss Kinomoto."
"Well, just go down and take your seat, okay?" he continued.
Still panting and gasping for air, I made my way to my desk which is between Tomoyo and Syaoran. I flopped down tiredly in my seat as I arranged my bag carefully under my desk.
"Nice entrance, I must say." Syaoran mumbled to me. " I think you should do something about your hair. Looks like you've been in a hurricane out there."
I patted my hair ruefully and work out my fingers through its tangles. I know, my hair is a complete mess. But I have no choice to fix myself especially if I know I'm going to be late.
Just then, the door opened, revealing a new face standing tentatively at the door. The rest of the class noticed her too, because I could see that they are also looking at the girl with curiosity.
"Oh, come in! Come in!" Our Sensei said, motioning for the girl to come inside. The girl, whose face looks completely flushed followed his orders and walked uncomfortably in front of the whole class.
"Class, I would like to introduce to you your new classmate, Miss..."
"Anami. Anami Hana." The girl drawled in a soft voice.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I couldn't help but noticed that the guys, including Syaoran is gaping at her, admiring her beauty. I could see Syaoran looking at the new student with interest.
= I wonder...? = I thought, looking meaningfully at Syaoran.
