(After school)

Key:

blah = Thinking

"blah" = Talking

*******************************************************************************

Syaoran and Meiling grabbed their backpacks, and left to go to the field for soccer try-outs. They had no homework, and after this, they were going to go eat at their favorite restaurant, Uyoriuko's (U-your-re-uk-ooh's). Finally, they arrived at the soccer field.


"You ready for try-outs?" Meiling asked Syaoran while putting her stuff on the bleachers.


"I guess." He shrugged.


"ya'know, cheerleading practice is going on right now............... " Meiling stated, glancing at the girls at the other end of the field. The girls, including Sakura, was in their short pleated skirts that were maroon and navy and the crop tops that had the school's mascot, the Siberian tigers. They were practicing their flips, turns, cartwheels and much more.


Obviously, Syaoran was not interested. "........so?"


"Akura-say is over here-tay." Meiling said in pig-latin.


"And I Care?"


"Nevermind." The two met with some others on the field that were waiting. Meiling was the only girl there after everyone showed up, about 25 boys. The coach came over and started talking.


"Okay, group, y'all are doing a scrimmage today, and after I see you, I will post who makes the team tomorrow on the gym door. You will be tested on your endurance, your speed, your skill, and your technique. Any questions?" Mr. Kiyoto yelled. He was a tall, lean, man. A great athlete by appearance, blond hair, green eyes. He looked young enough. "The first test is your endurance. I want you to run around the track until you get tired, them move to the center. It doesn't matter if you end out first, cause your other test could take care of that. Ready, let's start."


Everyone took off, some at a steady past, others at a sprinting pace, two of those being Meiling and Syaoran. They were ahead off everyone, and acted like it was nothing. You could hear whispers like, "They won't be able to keep that up" and such phrases. Soon people started to drop out after 5 laps, but Syaoran and Meiling still kept the pace. Finally, they were the only two, but they stayed at the fast pace, and neither quitted, so the My Kiyoto called them over.


"Y'all are fast. How do you keep it up?" He asked them.


"It's nothing." Meiling replied, noticing the glares at her. They were thinking 'how a girl could beat them?'.


Meiling whispered to Syaoran, "Do training does come handy..." Syaoran just nodded.


The coach then started the next test. "The next test your speed. I want to see how many goals you can make in one minute with that goalie over there." He then pointed. "Now, let's go." Everyone went over. Boys all around were pretty fast. They scored about 8-12 goals average. Then it was Meiling's turn. She kicked pretty fast, so she ran towards the field, and bombarded the goalie with many balls, Only blocking two of them She made 22 goals. Then Syaoran was up, he was strong and fast, so he ended up getting by the goal except for one. Her made 23 goals. Everyone started at them like they were superhuman. That was not natural.

.

"Okay........... The next test is skill. I want to see all you know. This is like strategy. I want you to get past my players. And I want to see how. Pair up with someone else, and let's start." Meiling and Syaoran chose each other. Once again, everyone went, and then they did, making past everyone, when no one did, and even made a goal.


"The last test is your technique, I want to see your style. Then this is finished and you can go home." Mr. Kiyoto said. The last test went. This one, it was like everyone was a winner, but Syaoran and Meiling had the foot thing, the head thing, the knee thing. They were extraordinary. Everyone thought they would be on the team. Finally, he dismissed them, and the two Li's grabbed their stuff and left to go home. Meanwhile, a green-eyed girl watching them, stared at them. They're soooooo good, I know they will make the team....... "Sakura, c'mon practice is over........ then you can go on your date." A fellow cheerleader said to the girl. Sakura snapped out of it, and went to get her stuff.

**********************************************************************************

The Li's went back to the apartment, and took a shower. Then, they changed, watched some TV, and left for Uyoriuko's. The walked there, and arrived in 15 minutes. The two walked in, and got the old booth they used to have.


"So what you getting'" Meiling asked Syaoran.


"The usual."


"I don't remember."


"Udon, JFC, and a chocolate shake."


"Oh yeah, well, I'll have the same." Soon, a waiter came and took their orders. Syaoran looked at the clock and noticed it was 7:00pm. Time sure did fly past................ I wonder........... Tomorrow's a school day............


The two stroke up a conversation about Maury and how it was get ridiculous with all the stories about pregnant teens and maternity tests. Finally, the food came and they dug in, literally.


"Soccer practice sure got me hungry." Syaoran said, then drank his shake.


"Here, here." After about half the meal, they heard some noises from the both next to them, WEIRD noises.


Must be some hopelessly-in-love couple, or well like the expression 'Carpe Diem' Syaoran thought. He peered over, and noticed it was Sakura............... and Fei. They were making-out in the booth. That ruined Syaoran's dinner when everything was going good.


"Meiling, let's go............" Syaoran said, sick, and anxious.


"Why, I'm not finished.................." Meiling was still chowin' down.


"'Cause I'm sick..." It wasn't exactly a lie.


"Yeah right, what you see over there.........." Meiling asked curiously.


"Nothing. Let's go." He really wanted to leave. Meiling peered over and saw what Syaoran was trying to hide. She suddenly didn't have an appetite. They were trying to taste each other's tonsils. Finally, she gave in.


"All right." They left a huge tip for the waitress, and left the unfinished food. They walked out the door, but Sakura was too busy to even notice who was in the other booth.

***********************************************************************************
Walking back, Meiling had to talk about the event.


"They looked like they were eating each other's faces out."


"Shuddap."


"It was freaky."


"I already lost my appetite, I don't need to lose my dinner."


"Jealous?"


"No, disgusted."


"U sure?"


"Positive, now will you shut-up?" They finally went back to the apartment, and did their routine to go to bed. In the bed, Syaoran looked at the clock. 8:30pm........... I can't imagine that............. nasty............... I won't be able to sleep.......... He didn't know how right he was, for he was thinking about the atrocious event, his love-life and the future.
