Catch You, Catch Me: Revenge
Chapter Two - Many Meetings

I do not own CCS/CC
(Going to learn some Japanese here. ^_^)
My wrist-watch beeped, signaling another hour gone by. I looked at the table and sighed. There were four empty glasses of lemonade. I lost count of how many Tomoyo brought back at fourteen. It was as if I was addicted to lemonade.
"Can you get me another lemonade Tomoyo?" I asked.
Tomoyo lifted a brow as she stood up. "Er, another one? Sakura, you had at least nineteen lemonades."
"And counting." Eriol added.
"Just get me another, and use this." I tossed her another toonie.
She sighed. "With sugar?"
I nodded.
"Sakura, don't drink too much." Syaoran warned. I nodded with drowsiness within me.
I blinked. I knew I was snapping in and out of reality, and that accident didn't help me one bit. Tomoyo quickly came back with my drink. She handed me the change and I began to sip slowly. In a few minutes I downed the six inch glass.
I moved it forward beside the other four, making a pile of five empty glasses. Tomoyo stood up to return the glasses when Eriol stopped her. I swore I saw him wink. He placed the glasses on the tray and brought them up to the counter.
I looked at my purse. I could buy a few more lemonades, if my body could take anymore of the bitter-sweetness. I blinked again and felt wide awake. I looked at the couples on the dance floor, moving quickly to the beats.
I would have asked Syaoran for a dance, if I held the guts to say it. I liked Syaoran. That was final. I promised myself to make it a secret. If Tomoyo found out she'd have a fit with that 'love promise' I made ages ago.
Suddenly I caught a couple coming towards us. It was a girl with long black hair and red eyes. Behind her was a man about as tall as Eriol. He was a wonderful dirty-blonde. His starry blue eyes caught me the second I laid my eyes on him.
The black haired girl stole a seat in between me and Syaoran. I felt jealous for a minute. Was she trying to double cross the boys? I was about to give her a 'Back off, this is my guy.' glare when she spoke up.
"How are you guys?" She said in a fake, cheerful voice.
"Just fine Meiling." Tomoyo answered. "Who's the looker?" She motioned to the dirty blonde beside me.
Meiling smiled. "I'd like all of you to meet Micheal Kirk."
"Micheal Kirk?" Syaoran and I said in unison.
"That's my name and don't forget it." He said, giving all of us a smile.
I frowned momentarily. This was beginning to be a pain. I looked at Meiling again. When she saw me about to say something to Syaoran she spoke up while giving me the girl's back off, glare. I sighed as Meiling was talking.
"New high school, new year, new students. The same old thing, right Eriol?" Meiling smiled.
Eriol merely nodded.
"Uh, yes Meiling." Tomoyo sounded angry. I saw a look on her face and grinned. "So where do you stay, Micheal?"
I saw Meiling glare. My drowsiness suddenly left me. I leaned back on my chair and enjoyed the cat fight. I was drinking another lemonade. I knew this had to be priceless. I managed a quick smile towards Syaoran. He caught my drift and leaned back on his chair.
Micheal smiled, not noticing Syaoran and my grins. "I'm not in the Quad. I'm down at Nadeshiko Hall."
I chocked on my drink. Silently, I recovered. Tomoyo continued her questioning. Meiling looked simply upset.
"Nadeshiko Hall? Where is that?"
"Just a few blocks down here. I think you'd like it." He chuckled. "By the way, onamae wa? (What is your name?)"
Eriol narrowed his eyes as Tomoyo blushed. "Namae wa Tomoyo Daidouji. (My name is Tomoyo Daidouji.)" Tomoyo giggled.
Micheal laughed. "Hajimete ome ni kakarimasu Tomoyo Daidouji. (Glad to meet you Tomoyo Daidouji.)Tomoyo kawaii desu. (Tomoyo is pretty.)"
Meiling slapped him on the head. "Oooooowwwww!"
"Daijoubu? (Are you okay?)" Tomoyo asked.
"Haiii.... (Yesss....)" Micheal frowned, glaring slightly at Meiling. Meiling looked perfectly okay with the situation.
I almost laughed out loud when I saw the look on Eriol's face. He was gritting his teeth so hard, his face was practically as blue as his hair, and he looked like his head would pop at any second. A balloon on the edge of exploding.
"Shimpai wa arimasen. (No need to worry.)" Micheal added.
I stood up, unable to control my laughter. Eriol looked so hilarious.
"Dooshite ikimasu ka? (Why are you going?)" Syaoran asked.
"Er... to the Quad. Gomen nasai. I don't mean to leave so soon. That report is due and I really, really have to get it started." I stammered, unable to keep a trace of laughter in my voice. I could feel my face becoming red as I became the main attraction.
"Matte! (Wait!)" Tomoyo suddenly shouted.
"Nani? (What?)" She could hear annoyance in my voice, clear and simple.
"Er... Okai ma naku. (Nevermind)" She rubbed a thought out of her mind. I could tell.
I sighed and ran out of the Music Hall, controlling blush from my face. I could feel Syaoran's eyes on me. "Ja mata! (See ya!)"
As I ran out I sighed. The blush on my face died slowly. ~Oh my gosh. He must think I'm really weird! ARGH! I just made a complete fool out of myself! Gr... Sometimes you are so baka Sakura!~
I ran a furious hand through my hair and made it to the quad safe and sound. I remembered Tomoyo saying she would join me later. Besides being best friends, we were roommates. Not that big of a deal. Just best friends sharing a room. Don't worry! We have SEPARATE beds!
I jogged up the stairs and opened our door. (We don't keep it locked. Don't ask.) I found myself trying to find my floppy disk. When my hand found what I was looking for I bounded into the computer lab.
It was freezing at the computer lab. I turned up the heater a little. I walked slowly towards a computer I was totally freaked out. It was so dark and it smelled horrible here. It was the start of school, and I'm guessing none of the janitors cleaned up this room. See, this computer lab is HARDLY used. The ones inside our classrooms are used a lot more often because they were upgraded. These slow machines weren't.
Being me, I liked places were I had it all to myself. Tomoyo was usually with me, or two other people, so I felt safe. I certainly didn't now. It was just me ... and nothing else. OH MY GOSH! I'm here ALONE!
"What if there's a g-ghost?!?" I whimpered, but took a seat at my usual spot.
A shaky hand slid the floppy disk into the slot.
I frowned. The computer wasn't accepting my disk. I turned on the desk lamp and peered into the slot. Another floppy was inside of the old thing. I ejected it and looked at the label. No name. Wait, something was written on it. It were the words: REV. DD
As I looked at the gray square, I felt puzzled. I didn't know anyone who had REV. DD in their name. Maybe it wasn't someone I knew. There were at least a good hundred of people at school. Maybe Tomoyo knew. She was popular. She should've known a lot of people.
I inserted my floppy, putting the other on the table. As the computer began to read my files I dropped my shoulder bag on the floor, below the table.
My attention soon turned to the computer. It was a blue screen. I hated when ever these things happened to me. I especially HATED viruses. You should've seen me when an e-mailed virus took over the computer. The memory of the bomb and the time ticker of that virus popped into my head.
Suddenly I felt scared. I hated these things, but I couldn't leave it like this. I'd feel guilty. I read the screen.
ERROR: VC-98857
Windows could not respond to your task. An error had occurred. ~I think I figured that out.~ Please try to escape. Press any button to continue. It may be possible to continue and resume. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart your computer.
I sighed and pressed any other key. Suddenly it began to make this horrible beeping sound. BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! My face frowned. I'm not the computer wizard. If I asked for help, I think I would have asked Eriol.
The screen suddenly turned black and blue. It continued to flicker and alternate colours. By now I was scared out of my skin. If things could only get worse, it did. The volume control went crazy. I saw the volume getting higher and higher.
I tried to tune it lower. I pressed the button so many times. I was freaked out. I pressed control, alt, and delete. The computer only made a high screeching noise. A voice suddenly boomed on it's speakers.
"PLEASE EXIT! PLEASE EXIT! WINDOWS IS HAVING ERRORS! *BLEEP* EXIT! WARNING! EXIT! *BLEEEEEEPPPPPP* EXIT!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! YOU BAKA TING! STOPIT!"
As if my wish had been granted, the computer screen went black. I closed my eyes, almost as if I was expecting a big *BOOM* to happen. I opened one eyes. Then the other. The computer made some weird BBBZZZTTT noise and it ejected my floppy disk.
Besides the floppy hitting me square in the face, I think I was phsyically all right.
"Oh... my... gosh..." I lost my temper. "YOU STUPID BAKA OF A COMPUTER! ARE YOU TRYING TO SCARE THE HECK OUT OF ME?!?!? YOU BAKA! YOU BAKA! "
After that I continued to scream in Japanese. I furiously took my floppy, and grabbed my shoulder bag. I heard something fall but I didn't care. I raced up to my, uh Tomoyo and my room and shut the door tight. I slammed my stuff on the table and fell asleep.
~Oh... my... gosh... That stupid thingy-ma-jig.~
*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*
"Sakura?" Tomoyo?
I groaned weakly and pried open my eyes. Sure enough, it was Tomoyo. "What? Whadda you want?"
She continued to brush her hair. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm going. I'll be back in the afternoon."
I sat up feeling dazed. "Hm? Out? Where? With who? Why?" Then it sunk in. "Oh.... him?"
"Hai?" Tomoyo answered weakly.
I laughed. "Is Eriol that good?"
She nodded, her pale skin now a wonderful watermelon colour. I giggled and sank back on my bed. I wasn't sleepy anymore, just lazy. I saw Tomoyo looking inside our closet. That was a mistake. I'm serious. We have AT LEAST one hundred outfits in there.
Amazingly, Tomoyo pulled out a nice outfit. It was a tight black dress. It had a collar, but was sleeveless. The dress ran down until her knees. She had chosen a simple pair of high heels to go with this dress. She slowly applied some lip stick and eye shadow.
"THAT formal?" I raised my brow. She seemed uncomfortable.
"Er, uh, um... h-haiii?" It was as if she were asking me questions.
"How could you not know where you're dating?"
She blushed a tomato colour. "It's NOT a d-date."
I rolled my eyes. "Right, well, better get going beauty. You would want the beast to wait."
Tomoyo scooped up her shoulder bag and left. After she closed the door I ran into a laughing spree. I hoped Tomoyo noticed that she was as red as a pepper right now. I could just imagine Eriol's expression when they meet.
"Sakura, you're NOT suppose to laugh at your best friend on her DATE!" I scolded myself, laughing at the same time.
I stood up and brushed my teeth. After breakfast-which consisted of a mere muffin-I ran towards the computer. With my shoulder bag at my side I reached for my disk. I picked up the gray thing and jammed it into the computer. The computer made a funny noise when I looked at the screen.

I blinked clueless, again. "What is this?"

Author's Notes:
What is that?
Can you guess?
Miecheal and Meiling?
Tomoyo and Eriol?
Sakura and Syaoran?
Yet another mystery after another. I just love writing these kind of things. Oh yeah, back to the point. So what do you think? Is Micheal trying to hit it on Tomoyo? Or vise versa? All these questions answered in the next chapter.
