Author's Note: Hiya! I'm finally published this chappie, I had the largest WB in the world, and then school came and blew it up, I mean, what else are you suppose to do while listening to your biology teacher??? Well, sorry it took so long. I wrote this like 1 week ago, and then it got erased, and I couldn't work on it again, oh well enjoy now!
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS, and Fei's from Xenogears. Okay? Good. (This is me too!)

Chapter 9: Assignment, whatever...
Key:
blah = Thinking
"blah" = Talking
**************************
It's been one week since Syaoran and Meiling came to school. They were already popular among the crowd, and everything had been going fine. Syaoran, Meiling and Sakura had avoided each other due mostly to Sakura for she always ran away. Fei had been doing good as it was, no fights lately. Now today, they were in High Honors Japanese, waiting for the teacher.
In comes Mrs. Hajimi. "Sorry I'm late, but I had to finish this copy for all you in this class." Everyone was seated. "Okay class. As you heard there will be a dance..." The class erupted in chatter, for apparently, not everyone heard about the dance. "Let me finish. It's a homecoming/halloween dance meaning you must dress up. The theme is "Castles in the Sky" so you must dress up as anime HUMAN anime character as you want...." And she was droned out again but the incessant chatter....
"Hey Syaoran, ya hear that? What a tight thing to do. I'm going to go as Rinoa and you can go as Squall, oh, yes, this will be great!" Meiling was talking to Syaoran behind her in the back seats as she appeared with hearts in her eyes.
"I can make the costumes, and Eriol can help too!" Tomoyo was sitting with stars in her eyes as she spaced out imagining the costumes. Tomoyo and Eriol became friends again with the two Chinese teens after they saw them at school the second day. Tomoyo and Eriol are trying to talk to Sakura, but lately, she's been ignoring them. Right now, Sakura was talking to her other 'clik' in the front with Fei.
Both Syaoran and Eriol turned to each and murmured, "Girls......."
Eriol began a conversation with Syaoran. They became best friends surprisingly. "So, what are you going to be?"
He glanced at him, and shrug his shoulders, "Dunno. You?"
"Maybe Sephiroth from FF7, I love his hair!"
"You and hair Eriol. I mean yours is already longer then Tomoyo's, and still growing!" He yelled exasperated. It was true, Eriol had grown his midnight blue hair like Clow Reed's and kept it in a braid or a ponytail like Tomoyo's.
"So? Don't matter."
"Whatever........."
"THAT"S IT DAMMIT. LISTEN UP!" Mrs. Hajimi cried, startling all the students out of the talk time. " Let me finish. I said the dance, BUT the teachers and I all decided that you have a project to do by this friday, so you can go to the dance next week..." She heard many groans there. "You know how we worked on perception and emotional traits. Well, you project is to write some form of writing, poems, songs, short story, essay, something' and a visual for your idea. The hard job is today, you will choose a piece of paper from this hat that you will do the paper for. It will be a feeling or an action. After I get through role call, we'll choose and then you can get to work before the day is done, all right?" The class agreed.
She began to do roll call, and then when she was done, Mrs. Hajimi continues.
"Everyone come up here and grab a paper, and DON'T SWITCH THEM!" Students climbed out of seats and went for a paper. The foursome came up after Sakura, and she said a hi and went back. The four trudged back to the seats in the back of class.
Oi, Sakura doesn't even talk to us anymore..... Meiling was brought out of thought when Tomoyo asked he a question. "Huh?"
"I said, what did you get?"
Meiling looked down, and she saw. "Honesty."
Eriol spoke up next. " I happen to get Loyalty. MWA HAHAHAHAHA!"
"What's with the laugh dumdum?" Tomoyo asked gingerly.
"Nande mo nai. What you get m'dear?"
"I'm am very fortunate be the owner of this: Forgiveness."
" Nice m'dear. So, my boy, Syaoran, what did thy get."
"Shut your face Eriol. It's a one I can relate to. B-E-T-R-A-Y-A-L."
Oh, that was a bad one to give him, Syaoran will probably have a heart attack thinking of what to write without reminding him of Sakura.... "Oh, that's nice Xiaolang."
"Xiaolang, will you be okay with that? I'll switch you if you want?" Meiling asked him in chinese. The two were trying to follow because she talked so fast.
"Yeah."
"You sure?"
"Positive. I'll have to get over it. Plus, you want Squall there don't you?"
"Oh, you're wonderful Xiaolang...."
"So, what to do now?" Syaoran asked the other three.
"Okay class, now that you know what you're doing, I'm handing out this paper with the procedures and what you can do." She passed on out the everyone. "Okay, you have them. Like I said, you must have a writing piece, and a visual. It can be anything for the visual, a book, and picture, doll, something that goes with your story OR your topic. You can write your own, or you can borrow it as long as you give recognition to the writer. The scoring is on the back, it's the normal rubric, and this is INDEPENDENT! No help, this is you and you only. You have the due date. It's almost time to go, pack your stuff and get ready to leave...."
Students made loud sounds trying to get ready. "Okay, you can leave. Go home and work on it."
Being the last period of the day, everyone went home.
"So, have you though of something?" Meiling asked Eriol. All four of them were going to work at Syaoran's. They did as Sakura, but she blew them off saying 'she had a date later.'
"Yes, I might do a legend. You?" Eriol replied.
"Not really. I know Syaoran hasn't, and Tomoyo is off in LALALAND about the dance. How can you stand her?"
"I love her, that's why. Even sometimes though, I question that also." The other two were in thought. I wonder what Sakura will be doing, but lately she's been blowing us off.....
"You okay, cuz? I mean, you're spaced out."
Syaoran snapped back into reality. "Yeah, fine."
The four traveled down the street, laughing and joking like all friends do...
