A Honest Lie

Author's Note:
This is how fictions work. If it's an S+S by me, it has a MeiLei coupling inside it, or it would not be written. I don't like stories that leave Mei out with no guy what so ever. ;__;

still DEDICATED to Cody and Kayla. Hey Kayla, Sakura is a prep. Haha.

Chapter Two: 'I think..'
----------

Syaoran walked silently into the classroom, slamming his books on the desk. No doubt in one of the worst moods possible. There was probably no way to make it any worse, considering he had to work with.. her.. of all people, in almost every class that he had. He took a seat, while everyone else was chatting, and waited.

"What's up, Syaoran?" Yamazaki asked. Syaoran grunted in return and put his head down, not really paying attention to some of the people that were no gathering around his desk.

"Hey?" One of the girl's said, finally bringing up her courage to say something to him, she was blushing heavily, not that Syaoran noticed with his head down. Yamazaki took a side glance at the girl, and she left, no doubt a bit sad that Syaoran refused to atleast say hello.

Sakura stared at him from the opposite side of the room, while he friends continued to chatter constantly about anything that just happened to be on their minds. That's how it was for the morning, Syaoran had his head down, Sakura watching him, until the teacher asked everyone to take their seats, and she was placed next to him for basically the rest of the day.

----------

"You're late again. Damn, Sakura, is that your goal or something?" Syaoran said, realizing that Sakura had finally got to the library as asked. She dropped her things to the side of her, again, and quietly pulled out the research papers that they had come out with yesterday.

"I think you should shut up." She said, pulling out another book from her bag, and a sheet of paper, and beginning to take notes once again. Syaoran looked up from his book, at the girl sitting across from him and sighed, annoyed.

"You know what I think?"

"I really could care less."

"Too bad. I think you're just a spoiled little brat who can't get anything done unless it is done her way. She whined until everything is how she wants, and thinks the ones that just get it done and over with are the annoying ones."

"I am not spoiled! You said it yourself, you didn't want to be paired with me!" She said, a little louder than she should of, so that some of the people nearby heard her.

"I didn't beg the teacher to be paired with someone else! God, listen, I don't want to be with you, but I have to. We have to get this done, and you're going to put your half into it, because I don't deserve a fucking F in all of my classes because of this!" Syaoran said, the same tone as Sakura. People were now staring at them.

"Just shut up and work on the damn project, Syaoran." She said, picking up her pencil, and beginning to write down notes from the book she had been reading before they had started the stupid arguments. Syaoran did the same.

Meiling stared at her cousin from a different table in the library. She couldn't help but laugh at them, since they were yelling at each other in a library, where it was suposed to be quiet. "They're so funny."

Lei looked up from his own book. The two had been in different classes, and just today they had been assigned the same project as Sakura and Syaoran's class. Meiling and himself were now sitting and researching, as most of the partners in the class had been. "Who?"

"Syaoran and Sakura. I think Syaoran's making a dumbass of Sakura, yelling at the girl infront of basically the entire grade level." She flicked back a peice of her hair, and began to jot down notes from her book again. Lei laughed, looking behind him at Syaoran and Sakura who were now, calmly, writing.

"I feel so bad for him," Meiling said, without looking up.

"I don't. They deserve it." Meiling looked at him, a little bit puzzled. "I hate them both, so, for them to be fighting and ruining eachothers reputation is just fine with me." Meiling laughed, slightly nodding. She looked over at Sakura and Syaoran's table, where they were fighting once again over what some word meant in one of the books.

"Do you want to know what I think?" She said.

"What?"

"I think he likes her. Maybe likewise. That's all he talks about at home. Sakura this, Sakura that. Blah blah blah, and so on. I don't live with Sakura, but she probably likes him back, since she fights exactly the same way with him."

Lei shrugged.

----------

"Okay! I'm leaving!" Sakura said, grabbing her things and shoving them into her bag. Syaoran stared at her, blinking. 'You pushed her too far? Now you have to do all the work yourself,' he thought to himself.

"God, Sakura, I was kidding!" She stood and tried to walk away, but he grabbed her wrist before he could do anything. He couldn't see her face, which was good, because she was blushing ever so lightly. She coughed, pulled her wrist away from him, and sat back down.

"God, I hate you," she said, through gritted teeth. He laughed.

"I hate you, too."
