Chapter: Three
The next three weeks of school passed quickly. Nothing really exciting really happened though. All the students were quite busy with school assignments, and projects. Right now it was the end of September, and the main event that was coming up was the monthly unit tests. At the end of each month, the class would have a unit test for each subject. The point of this was to make sure each student understood what they learned in that unit.
"I going to fail Math Madison," Sakura sighed as she sat on the bench outside.
"Don't ask me for help Sakura," Madison warned. "You know I'm just as bad as math as you are,"
"Thanks..." Sakura grumbled. "But I have to pass," Sakura whined.
"I know someone who's good at math," Meilin spoke as she approached the two girls.
"Really? Who?" Sakura asked with wide eyes.
"Who else but Li Syaoran!" Meilin replied confidently. "Not like I'm going to let you study with him anyway," Meilin concluded crossing her arms.
"Did I hear my name?" Li grinned as he approached the group of girls. "And the word math?"
"Yeah," Madison spoke as she covered Meilin's mouth. "Sakura and I need help with Math,"
"For the test right?" Li thought outloud as he scratched his chin.
"Yeah, that's right," Madison nodded as she grinned at Sakura. Sakura knew what her friend was thinking, and just shook her head sadly.
"Well, I don't know," Li began. "I gladly help you but," he continued. "I have to concentrate on Language," Li sighed.
"I can't help you there," Madison mumbled.
"I can!" Sakura pointed at herself ever so proudly. Meilin and Madison gave her the eyebrow.
"Really?" Li replied anxiously.
"Really," Sakura smiled.
"So you'll help me with Language?" Li asked anxiously.
"Sure, if you help me with math," Sakura bargained.
"Deal," Li crossed his arms.
Driing!!
"Alright, we'll start after school," Sakura smiled then headed to class.
"Are you going to study with us?" Li asked Madison.
"No, I'll study with Zachary," Madison grinned.
"Suit yourself," Li shrugged.
"I'll study with you guys!" Meilin spoke loudly. Li just moaned and headed towards class.
The day passed by faster than the three weeks. Everyone was thinking of the same thing, the study session. Li couldn't get it off his mind. He didn't know why though, I mean, it was just a study session. Sakura couldn't get it off her mind either, she was casual and excited about it at the same time. Madison was a little upset that she'd miss it. She just wanted to get some good pictures. As for Meilin, she was looking forward to it too, but for a different reason. Finally the day ended.
"You ready?" Sakura challenged Li.
"More than you know," Li grinned as he walked ahead.
"I'm ready when you are Sakura," Meilin teased and walked after Li. Sakura just sighed as she rolled her eyes. Then she followed them.
"I'm home!" Sakura yelled aimlessly as she closed the door behind her.
"I hear voices, who's with you?" Tori asked putting the newspaper down. He looked behind Sakura and saw Li and Meilin.
"Oh," Tori rolled his eyes. "Take them upstairs," he complained.
"Ugh!" Sakura stomped upstairs. Meilin followed with pride, as Li followed feeling a little nervous. Tori was watching Li until he was out of sight.
"Hi Kero," Sakura smiled as she turned her light on.
"Oh hey Sakura," Kero yawned. "Hey what are the Chinese brats doing here!?" Kero pouted.
"We're having a study session," Sakura said casually. Kero just gave them all the eyebrow.
"But you wouldn't know what that is," Meilin teased as she stuck out her tongue. Li just sighed and sat on the bed.
"Your asking for it little girl!" Kero warned.
"Enough you two!" Sakura ordered. "Now, do you guys wanna start with Math or Language?" Sakura asked changing the subject.
"I'm good at both!" Meilin pouted.
"Then what are you doing here Meilin?" Li asked in annoyance.
"I just don't want tinker-bell here to make a move on you," Meilin stared evily at Sakura.
"I have a mother Meilin!" Li started to get irritated.
"She's back home Li," Meilin reminded. Li was silent.
"Stop it," Sakura said trying to stay calm. "You have two choices Meilin," Sakura continued. "You either stay, or you leave," she concluded as she crossed her arms.
"I'll leave," Meilin pouted. "Don't worry, I know my way out," she finished confidently then left the room. They heard a voice downstairs.
"Good!" Tori yelled. "One less Chinese brat to take care of!" he concluded. Then the door slammed shut. Kero was so relieved he fell asleep. Li and Sakura laughed at what Tori was yelling about. A few minutes of silence passed by.
"I'll tutor you first," Li said taking out his books.
"Alright," Sakura sighed nervously.
"Let's start with integers," Li said in excitement.
"Oh boy," Sakura gritted her teeth.
"...now there's negative and positve integers okay?" Li reviewed after a few minutes of study.
"Alright," Sakura nodded in agreement.
"Now which one is greater?" Li asked pointing to a question.
"Uh..." Sakura thought for a moment. "+2," she concluded.
"Correct!" Li said a little surprised. "You're really getting the hang of this Sakura!" Li congratulated her with a nudge. When their shoulders touched eachother they felt something inside of their stomach, like butterflies. They just looked at eachother and blushed.
"Uh...my turn," Sakura quickly changed the subject.
"Uh...right," Li nodded as he put his books away.
"Uh...we're doing poetry right?" Sakura asked flipping through her notes.
"Yeah, haiku," Li pouted in disgust.
"Easy," Sakura smiled. She read him her notes and tried to show an example for each. They did a few questions together.
"...what is a haiku?" Sakura reviewed.
"A haiku is a three line poetry, that has seventeen syllables," Li began. "five syllables in the first line, then seven in the second, and five in the last one," Li concluded hopefully.
"Correct," Sakura smiled. "And what is usually the theme of a haiku?" Sakura asked in a teacher like tone.
"A haiku is normally about nature," Li replied confidently.
"Correct," Sakura said a little surprised. "You aren't as bad as you say you are," Sakura complimented him as she nudged shoulders.
"Nah, you're just a good tutor," Li nudged back. Li looked at his watch. "Uh, I better get going," Li sighed as he stood up.
"Okay, see you tomorrow," Sakura hugged him, then showed him to the door. When he left she let in a big sigh, and went to eat dinner.
"Yes!" Tori cheered. "No more Chinese brats!"
"Why so happy Sakura?" Mr. Kinomoto asked in curiosity.
"She was having a study session with the Chinese brat," Tori answered for his sister. Sakura looked like she didn't even hear Tori's rude remark. She was in her own little world, that not even Tori could ruin.
"Good night," Sakura smiled as she put her plate away. Then she went upstairs.
"Don't have nightmares now," Tori yelled after her.
"Not with what she's smiling about," Mr. Kinomoto chuckled as he put his plate away.
"Exactly," Tori began as he put his plate down. "Nightmares," he concluded. Then he went to his room.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sakura woke up a few minutes early that morning to review her notes on Math before she left for school. She eat a heavy breakfast, for brain food. Then she left, without Tori.
"Morning Sakura," Madison greeted her smiling friend.
"Morning Madison," Sakura greeted back as she took her seat.
"You seem very happy this morning," Madison smiled as she observed her friends smile.
"I just feel very confident about our tests today," Sakura smiled.
"Right..." Madison rolled her eyes. Then Li walked into the room.
"Morning ladies," Li greeted his friends as he took his seat behind Sakura.
"Morning Li," The two girls said at the same time.
"Feeling confident about the tests today?" Madison asked while looking at Sakura.
"Yep," Li nodded then turned his attention to Sakura.
"Thanks to Sakura," Li smiled.
"Wow, she even taught you how to smile!" Madison pointed out a little surprised.
"Yeah," Li sighed. "She taught me that smiling wasn't a sin," he concluded with a grin. Sakura just smiled. Madison was a little clueless and just gave them both the eyebrow.
"It seems like Sakura taught you something Li," Madison began. "But did you teach her anything," she continued. "Or were you too busy with something else?" she concluded grinning.
"No, he taught me a lot," Sakura quickly replied not getting the point of what Madison said.
"Sure," Madison teased. All of a sudden Meilin stormed into the classroom.
"Listen very carefully hunnie!" Meilin said coldly as she pointed her finger at her. "If Li doesn't pass the tests, he's mine!" Meilin concluded and walked to her seat. Sakura just gulped.
"Good-morning class," Mr. Terada greeted the class as he entered the room.
"Good morning Mr. Terada," The class greeted back.
"As you all know, we're starting our monthly unit test today," Mr. Terada continued. The class cracked and groaned at the thought.
"By the sounds you guys are making, I hope you studied," Mr. Terada laughed.
"Alright clear your desks," Mr. Terada ordered as he took out the tests from his bag. "The test will begin, when everyone has received their test," he concluded as he handed out the tests.
"Good luck Li," Sakura said as she looked at him one last time.
"Good luck Sakura," Li sighed softly. The test began and the only sounds that could be heard was the scribbling of pencils to a paper.
'How many syllables are in the first line of a haiku?' Li thought to himself. 'Oh yeah, five!' he concluded happily. 'Thanks Sakura,' Li smiled. The test lasted for an hour and a half. Li found it easier than he thought. Sakura thought it was child's play. Before they knew it, the test was over. The whole class let out a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations class, you've finished the first Language Unit Test of the year," Mr. Terada clapped. The class cheered in joy. "Now go to your next class for the next test," Mr. Terada said dismissing them. The class packed up their stuff and went to Math.
"Let's waste no time class, get to your seats," Ms. Mckenzie ordered. "As soon as you receive your test, you may begin," she concluded. The class again had an hour and a half to complete the test.
'Hmm...what does the word integer mean again?' Sakura thought to herself. 'Oh, any number, right!' she concluded confidently. 'Thank you Li,' she smiled. The rest of the test was a breeze for Sakura. The test was a breeze for Li right from the start.
"Alright class, time is up," Ms. Mckenzie began. "Put your pencils down and pass your tests up to the front," she continued. "Then you may leave for home," she concluded. The class cheered for the last time for the day. After school Li and Sakura approached eachother.
"Thanks," Li and Sakura said at the same time. Then they began to smile.
"Anytime," They said at the same time again. Then they began to laugh a little.
"So how do you think you did?" Li asked Sakura casually.
"Pretty good actually," Sakura replied with confidence. "You?"
"I think I passed," Li sighed happily. "I'm just glad it's over,"
"Me too," Sakura smiled. "I'm going home," Sakura sighed as she turned around.
"I'm home!" Sakura greeted as she closed the door.
"Lucky squirt, got to go home early," Tori whined as Sakura entered the house.
"Well I had my monthly unit test Tori," Sakura pointed out as she headed for her room.
"Whatever," Tori mumbled.
"Good Afternoon Kero," Sakura greeted as she put down her bag.
"What are you doing here so early?" Kero asked in curiosity.
"I had my monthly unit test," Sakura repeated as she lay down on the bed.
"Oh, how do you think you did?" Kero asked trying to make conversation.
"Pretty good," Sakura sighed in relief. "But we'll see tomorrow when my teachers post up the results," Sakura concluded.
"So what are you going to do now?" Kero yawned.
"Hmm...I don't know, it is quite early isn't it?" Sakura thought outloud. "Maybe I'll go to Li's house," Sakura concluded happily.
"Why his house?!" Kero complained.
"Good question Kero," Sakura sighed.
Knock! Knock!
"I'll get it!" Tori yelled.
"Chinese brat!" Tori greeted as he opened the door.
"Oh, hi Tori," Li said nervously.
"I'm sure you're not here to see me," Tori grinned.
"Is Sakura home?" Li mumbled.
"Yes she is," Sakura interrupted as she approached the two boys.
"Fine, he's all yours," Tori grumbled. Then he glanced at Li. "But if you make any move at all, you're mine!" Tori warned. Then left for work. Li gulped.
"Don't worry about him Li," Sakura rolled her eyes as she took his hand and guided him upstairs.
"Hey what's the Brat doing here?!" Kero flew over when they entered the room.
"It's been three years Kero," Sakura said in annoyance. "Can't anyone get along?!" She complained.
"It's okay we're even," Li began. "I'm his Chinese brat," Li continued as he crossed his arms. "And he's my stuffed animal, I understand," Li concluded proudly.
"I swear, one day!" Kero gritted his teeth. Sakura got fed up and grabbed Kero and put him in the drawer.
"There," Sakura concluded.
"Hey, why'd you punish me!?" Kero muffled through the drawer.
"Because Li won't fit in the drawer," Sakura pointed out. Li got scared and took a few steps towards the door.
"No, I wouldn't" Sakura laughed. Li slowly stepped towards Sakura, still a little scared from her last remark.
"So, what brings you here?" Sakura asked trying to make conversation.
"Well...I...wanted to-" Li began but was interrupted by a banging sound coming from downstairs.
"What the?" Sakura said in confusion as she ran down to see what it was.
"Sakura!" Li yelled after her. It was too late, Sakura was already downstairs and couldn't hear him calling. Li followed Sakura and ran downstairs.
"I know you're here Li," Meilin yelled through the door.
"Oh no!" Li yelped and ran back upstairs.
"I don't know what you're talking about Meilin," Sakura lied.
"Yes you do, now let me in!" Meilin ordered.
"Like I said, he's not here," Sakura insisted.
"Then prove it and let me in!" Meilin reinforced.
"No!" Sakura yelled in annoyance.
"Go home Meilin!" Kero ordered as he flew out a window.
"Nobody was talking to you Simba!" Meilin pouted.
"But nobody likes you, and you're not welcome here," Kero insisted as he pointed the way home.
"Fine," Meilin pouted. "But remember Sakura," Meilin continued. "If Li fails the test, he's mine!" Meilin reminded and headed home.
"Whew," Sakura sighed in relief. "How did you get out?" Sakura questioned.
"Li, was so scared he let me go, and told me Meilin was outside," Kero concluded proudly. Kero and Sakura headed back upstiars where Li was hiding. When they got there Li was hiding under Sakura's blanket.
"Don't worry she's gone," Sakura smiled at the terrified Li.
"Are you sure?" Li asked still worried. Only his eyes could be seen.
"Yes," Sakura laughed.
"Thanks to me," Kero sighed proudly.
"I think I better go home," Li concluded.
"What was it you wanted to tell me before Meilin came banging?" Sakura remembered.
"Uh...nothing...nothing at all," Li turned his head away and headed for the door.
"Bye," Sakura hugged him.
"Yeah, bye," Li hugged her back. He could smell her hair, it smelled so sweet. Sweet as cherry blossoms. He sighed and let go. When Sakura closed the door she could hear people arguing.
"I knew you were here Li!!" Meilin yelled. Sakura bit her lip because she was worried about Li and headed upstairs.
"Poor Li," Sakura sighed. "I hope you pass the tests," she continued. "But fate will tell us tomorrow," she concluded and headed back to her room.

"Whew," Sakura sighed in relief. "How did you get out?" Sakura questioned.
"Li, was so scared he let me go, and told me Meilin was outside," Kero concluded proudly. Kero and Sakura headed back upstiars where Li was hiding. When they got there Li was hiding under Sakura's blanket.
"Don't worry she's gone," Sakura smiled at the terrified Li.
"Are you sure?" Li asked still worried. Only his eyes could be seen.
"Yes," Sakura laughed.
"Thanks to me," Kero sighed proudly.
"I think I better go home," Li concluded.
"What was it you wanted to tell me before Meilin came banging?" Sakura remembered.
"Uh...nothing...nothing at all," Li turned his head away and headed for the door.
"Bye," Sakura hugged him.
"Yeah, bye," Li hugged her back. He could smell her hair, it smelled so sweet. Sweet as cherry blossoms. He sighed and let go. When Sakura closed the door she could hear people arguing.
"I knew you were here Li!!" Meilin yelled. Sakura bit her lip because she was worried about Li and headed upstairs.
"Poor Li," Sakura sighed. "I hope you pass the tests," she continued. "But fate will tell us tomorrow," she concluded and headed back to her room.
