Chapter 3
Sweet, Innocent Sakura?! Or is it?
"I give up!" cried Vicky in defeat as she looked around, all the decorations and electric appliances "We're never going to get this ready by tonight."
"Calm down Vicky," said Sakura, "we're going to get this dance ready by tonight, remember how you worked so hard for it and now you're in charge of the whole dance, you're not going to give up are you?"
"Yeah, you worked hard for this" agreed Tanya while hanging up the streamers and other decoration.
"Of course not! I beat down Victoria in getting the chance to plan a dance of my own and it's going to be way better than the ones she planned over the previous year," said Vicky as she stood up. "Alright people, let's get this show on the road!"
Sakura and the gang smiled at Vicky's enthusiasm in whipping the dance into shape. They promised they would help her in organizing one of the best dance of the year and make Victoria eat her words.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran walked around with his friends who were busily talking about their next game. His mind kept wandering back to the little incident that happening last night, and blush at the thought of how close he was to Sakura 'what on earth was I doing?! But, it felt so right. I never had this feeling before not, even with Victoria, what's wrong with me?'
"Hey Syaoran!" one of the guys yelled.
Syaoran emerged from his thoughts and look at the group who were all smirking at him. "What?" he asked innocently as he eyed them one at a time.
"So where have you been?? Mars?" asked another guy sarcastically and then the whole gang broke into laughter. "What's on your mind? Care to share?"
Syaoran smirked at them and cocked his head up "Nothing of your business to worry about, now get to the point." He demanded and leaned against the wall.
"Woah, chill. We're just talking about the dance happening tonight, heard that this year's dance is organized by another girl rather than Victoria. Anyone interested?"
Syaoran shrugged and shoved his hands into his pockets "It depends if I have time tonight" came his reply.
"Hey, let's check out the gym and see how it looks and then we'll decide, how's that?"
The gang all agreed while Syaoran followed them, still busy with his thoughts. Fits of laughter could be heard down the hallway as they neared the gym. Inside, streamers of all different colors hung from the ceiling Vines were also intertwined with the electric appliances giving them all a tropical look. Chairs and tables were all set up around the gym while the middle was the dance floor.
A mild mist had covered the whole gym floor and Sakura giggled uncontrollably. They were trying out the new fog machine they got in the beginning of they year and the gang was enjoying hiding from each other and scaring the wits out of everyone. (Omg! That was so fun when my school organized the dance. LoLz, it took us longer than we thought coz we kept fooling around with the fog machine! ^^*)
"Oh Vicky, this must be one of the best dances I've ever been! Look at this, it's just amazing!" squealed Tanya in delight.
The gang opened up the backdoors to let some of the fog out while looking around in satisfaction, unaware that they've got company standing just outside the gym doorway. Applause came from Syaoran's gang as they looked the decorated gym, "This must be the best dance I've seen since I came to this university, and to hell with my English finals tomorrow, I'm going to this dance one way or another!" said one of the boys who earned agreement from others.
Sakura, Vicky, Michelle, and Tanya all turned around to see that their spectators were amazed by the decorations, they all winked at each other and smiled. As the fog cleared out, Sakura's eyes found its way and met up with brown ones that stared intently into hers, she broke the contact and looked at the floor, cheeks burning up as her mind wandered back to what happened last night.
"Sakura? Hey Sakura??" Tanya shook Sakura's shoulders gently to get her attention. "Let's go, it's already five after, we've got to go home and get ready for the dance" she said.
Sakura walked as Vicky took her hand and dragged her along. "You hunks better be here tonight, or you'll regret it!" Vicky said and winked at the guys as they walked out of the gym.
"You bet!" they all said in unison while Syaoran was still staring at Sakura's back as they walked out of the school.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Loud base boomed and shook the gym and lights flashed at the beat of the music. People began to pour into the gym and occupy the dance floor. Sakura and Vicky were busily taking orders of drinks and snacks. Tanya and Michelle were checking to make sure everyone lined up accordingly and nothing dangerous or illegal was brought inside. Only half an hour passed and already over 100 students gathered in the gym.
Syaoran met up with his friends, Andrew, Chris, and Nick in the parking lot and walked into the school only to find a huge line up extending all the way outside the school.
"Aw man, check out the line up, it's going to take so damn long to get in" said Andrew arriving at the end of the crowd.
"Woah, the dance looks like a biggie, what do guys think?"
Syaoran smirked at the fact for once; a school dance actually looks like one. Unlike the previous organized by Victoria was more of a bar full of drunk people and a public make-out area.
Inside
"Vicky, I thought you had people taking care of the concession stand? Where are they?" Sakura yelled over the loud music.
"I don't know! They should be here half an hour ago." Replied Vicky who carried a box of Popsicle out of the freezer. She panted and looked up when someone lightly tapped her shoulder.
'Sorry Vick, we got stuck in the traffic" a brunette girl and her friends said apologetically. "We can take over now, you guys can go and have some fun!"
"Well, it about time you guys showed up" Vicky stated obviously displeased. Then turned to Sakura, "Come on Saku, let's go find the others." Sakura nodded and then followed Vicky. Soon, they met up with the girls and went in.
All the things she said All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost
If I'm asking for help it's only because
Being with you has opened my eyes
Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?
I keep asking myself, wondering how
I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out
Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me
Nobody else so we can be free
A mist floated lightly above the ground as they walked in, "Come on let's hit the dance floor!" yelled Tanya and dragged all three of them out on the floor. Tanya began moving her arms and swaying her hips to the beat of the music, moving around her friends. Michelle and Vicky joined in and picked up her moves and circled Sakura trying to get to dance. "Sakura, Move gal! We know you can dance, so sway those hips and get your hands in the air!"
Sakura was uncertain at first, but smiled and joined the group. The three of them surrounded Sakura as she let the music control her body. Tanya then took Sakura hands and twirled her out to the open area where Vicky caught her. Sakura dipped and snapped back up laughing at her friends who sandwiched her in the middle and began to grind their hips against each other.
Outside
"Hey, I found a way in, the back doors are open let's sneak in there!" said Andrew who was trying to catch his breath. The gang then followed Andrew to the back of the gym and went in when no one was looking.
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough
All the things she said
All the things she said
And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault but I want her so much
Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame
When they stop and stare - don't worry me
'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head
The dance was impressive indeed, lights flashed through the streamers reflecting colors. A huge crowd gathered at the far side of the corner where people cheered and yelled. Syaoran and his friends walked over to see what caused all the attention. Sure enough, there was Victoria and her gang dressed in as little clothing as possible dancing with three hot guys. Syaoran was disgusted; it looked like they were having sex with clothes on and worse, it was a public show. Andrew saw the look on Syaoran's face and motioned the others to leave.
"Hey Syaoran, let's go get a drink!" Suggested Chris cheerfully trying to get Syaoran's mind cleared of the image. Syaoran nodded and follow him to get a drink and sat down at one of the tables. Suddenly, loud cheers broke out from another group on the other side of the corner. This group of people was not as big as Victoria's but it was getting bigger by the minute. The gang automatically walked up and poked their heads in to see while Syaoran stayed back and leaned against the wall. Cheers were getting louder and people raised their hands up and danced.
"Sakura!!" a guy from the crowd yelled, "dance with me!"
Syaoran raised his head quickly and pushed into the crowd. Sure enough, there was Sakura dressed in a light-blue sparkling top, a white leather mini skirt with slits at the side revealing her long milk-colored legs. Sakura also had on stockings that clung to her knees and flared out in the end like bell-bottoms. She wore a white leather jacket and hat with her hair down and sparkling earrings. She smiled seductively at the guy and gave him a wink, then placed her hands on Michelle hips and moved to the rhythm.
Syaoran was breathless as he eyed Sakura from top to bottom and bottom to top again. 'Flawless' was the only word he could use to describe her. His body began to heat up as hormones raced inside him, and the surroundings became fuzzy. He shook his head and then walked away to the refreshment table to cool down.
Sakura was having a blast but she caught a sight of a familiar shadow walking away. She tried to catch a glimpse of who it was, but failed as the crowded was getting bigger and bigger.
Syaoran clutched on to cup and gulped furiously, his cheeks still lingered a light pink as he tried to calm himself down. 'What is this feeling?!" a voice inside echoed over and over again, images of Sakura kept flashing in his mind. Frustrated, he drank more water and kept his thoughts to himself.
"Hey! You guys want a drink?" yelled Vicky over the loud music.
Sakura, Tanya, and Michelle all nodded furiously and walked over the refreshment table with a huge male population tailgating them. Then Sakura saw Syaoran near the refreshment table and calmly walked over.
"Hi" she said gently. Amber met emerald once again and a surge of electricity sparked through both of them.
"Hey" said Syaoran regaining his posture. "Nice outfit" he commented.
"Thanks" Sakura blushed and grab a drink to cool down. She looked over to her friends who were busy chatting with some guys having a great time. Sakura drank silently and tapped her feet to ease the tension.
Mother looking at me
Tell me what do you see?
Yes, I've lost my mind
Daddy looking at me
Will I ever be free?
Have I crossed the line?
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough
All the things she said
All the things she said
Suddenly, the music stopped and a slow song began, couples began to walk out from all directions onto the dance floor. Awkward silence filled in between Sakura and Syaoran as they avoided each other's gaze.
"Sakura! Can I dance with you?"
"No Sakura, dance with me!"
"Come on Sakura, pick me instead!"
The crowd surrounded Sakura and was towering over her. She was overwhelmed and leaned against the refreshment table. 'This isn't happening' she thought to herself.
Jealousy ran through Syaoran's whole body, he glared at the crowd surrounding Sakura and snorted with disapproval. Without any hesitation he grabbed Sakura's wrist and pulled her close to him.
"Sorry guys, but Sakura's with me" with a voice so cold that sent chills down Sakura's back. He looked like he was going to tear whoever that lays a hand on her into shreds. Syaoran eyed each one of the boys gripping Sakura's waist possessively; one by one the boys dispersed the crowd.
His soften as he gazed back at Sakura, who was blushing vividly staring at the ground. Syaoran coughed a couple of times to get her attention, "May I have the pleasure of this dance?" he asked with a French accent and he held out his hand like a gentlemen.
Sakura was stunned, but broke out into fits of laughter when he heard his accent. She looked into his twinkling eyes and took his hand as he led her to the dance floor. Sakura encircled his neck and leaned on to his broad chest. Syaoran held her closely by her waist until Sakura could smell the fragrance of sandalwood and feel his heat emitting from the body enfolding her in a warmness she never felt before. She placed her head onto his chest just under his chin and inhaled his scent like there was not tomorrow.
Syaoran smiled at the maiden in his arms and looked down at her. Her eyes were closed and a gentle smile hung on her face. Sakura leaned on him so peacefully that Syaoran caressed her like a fragile rose petal not daring to make sudden movements. Both were so lost with each other than they were unaware they're being watching with piercing eyes that burned with rage.
The song finally ended and couples parted making room for the people when the techno music started. Sakura unwillingly slid her arms down from Syaoran's neck and parted from each other.
"I have to find my friends now" Sakura stuttered and turned to leave. But was stopped by Syaoran who held onto her hand and looked at her with longing eyes. "I'll help you look," he offered and Sakura nodded silently.
At the back of the gym, Sakura spotted her friends giggling with a group of boys and ran over to meet them with Syaoran following behind. It turned out the boys were Chris, Andrew and Nick who had been eyeing Michelle, Tanya and Vicky for the whole time.
"Hey Sakura! Welcome back!" greeted Tanya who peered behind and then giggled. "Come on Sakura, this is our song let's dance!" and then dragged Chris out to the dance floor motioning Sakura to do the same.
Sakura was confused at first but saw that all her friends were already paired up and then turned to Syaoran who looked just as lost as she was. "Come on," she smiled and dragged Syaoran out and joined her friends.
"All right Saku and Michelle, you guys are first in the circle!" yelled Tanya and cheered. Pretty soon, another crowded surrounded the 4 couples. Andrew and Michelle were already dancing as a couple and did tricks where everyone cheered. Sakura began dancing around Syaoran trying to get him to dance along. He, on the other hand shook his head and chuckled when Sakura tried to get him to dance.
"What's wrong, can't you dance?" Sakura said in a mocking tone and challenged Syaoran.
Syaoran was stunned at the fact he was being challenged by a girl and then smirked, "I sure can" and then grab Sakura's wrists and pulled her toward him.
"Try me" She said her eyes twinkling with excitement.
"You asked for it" he replied and then lifted her up by the waist. The crowd gasped and cheered loudly for the 2 couples. Sakura winked at Andrew who got the message and lifted Michelle high up in the air. The couples moved in sync and soon Tanya and Vicky joined in. Syaoran dropped Sakura and caught her just time as she did the splits then pulled her up swung her to side. She then twirled back to the front and dipped as Syaoran glided his hands up her arms when she lowered to the ground.
The crowd as in awe and held their hands up in the air clapping to the beat. Victoria being infuriated that all the attention went to those 4 goodies-goodies barged through the crowd and roughly shoved Sakura into the wall.
"Listen you Japanese gag, why don't you go back to your hole and stay in there. Don't come here and steal my guy and my reputation in this school!" she said.
Sakura got up and dusted herself and came in eye level with Victoria and glared into her dark ebony eyes "Read my lips, I'm not going anywhere" she challenged "and Syaoran's not your property so don't act like he's yours."
Victoria was fuming by now, she raised her hand and was about to slap her when Sakura caught her hand and double-slapped her instead. "No one ever touches me, you hear?" Sakura threatened.
Tears of anger slid down her burning cheeks as she nursed them with her hands. "Bitch, all of you!" Victoria spat viciously.
"Ooooh.. someone's needs to cool down, what do you say girls?" Michelle chided and then tossed each of the girls a can of coke. Automatically they shook the cans until they were as hard as a rock and then surrounded Victoria's gang.
"Hey Sakura!" Vicky tossed Sakura a can and she caught it and smirked.
Michelle stood by Sakura with a can in her hand "Hey gal, having fun with Josh? You know what, I think everyone has had enough of you laying your dirty hands on their boyfriends. It's about time someone shows you how things work around this school.
As if on cue, the girls opened the cans and stuffed it right into Victoria's face. Victoria screamed for she was drenched in a sticky liquid, ruining her make-up and her dress. Sakura and the girls all laughed hysterically and give everyone high-fives for their masterpiece. Sakura turns to see Syaoran, dumb-stricken by her bold actions, but Sakura merely smiled and tossed him a shaken can of pop.
"Go on, she deserves every ounce you throw on her, just let it all out" Sakura said cheerfully.
At first, Syaoran was uncertain whether he should take it out on Victoria, but thoughts of how she treated him pass by in front of his eyes. The feeling of betrayal slowly filled him with anger and hurt as he opened the can and let the pop gush out into Victoria's face once more.
Victoria was on the verge of tearing up anyone who came close to her, namely the four girls who put up with the act. Being humiliated in front of the school and drenched with a sticky substance was not a pretty sight. Her temper flared when was Sakura standing in front of her smirking. Through her matted hair she aimed for Sakura's face, but failed and crashed into the wall cursing.
Sakura was giggling uncontrollably as Syaoran held her hand and dragged her out the back door when he saw Victoria lunging toward Sakura. For the very first time, he enjoyed what had happened a short moment ago. He suddenly felt lighten and that life had return to it's normal pace. He decided he was going to enjoy tonight and catch up on all the fun we missed out over the year. They stopped under a lamppost catching their breath.
"Hey handsome, how about another round?" suggested Sakura.
"Another of round what?" asked Syaoran who was leaning against the lamppost with his hand on his knees.
"Oh, something you'll just die for." purred Sakura as she walked up to Syaoran their faces merely centimeters away from each other.
Syaoran felt uneasy, he has never seen this side of Sakura before. But somehow, he's attracted to it, like a magnet stuck to a fridge and cannot possibly explain why his feelings seem to be out of sorts tonight. His face burned up rapidly as looked into her emerald eyes and soft pink lips inching closer by the second.
"Got it!" she yelled triumphantly and skipped away to the lot.
Syaoran's face was blank for the moment trying to get her what she meant by her previous remark, but smiled seeing how energetic she was; this was the Sakura he knew. He didn't mind the fiery-tempered side of her, it adds more to her character.
"Come on, I'll give you a ride home!" Syaoran yelled catching up to her.
"Nuh-uh, wrong answer!" Sakura replied and ran to his black convertible sports car and got into the driver's seat.
"What the.. Sakura?" said Syaoran confused what just happened and then patted his side pockets. 'Damn' he cursed silently and looked to Sakura to see her sitting on the driver's obviously amused by how slow he was.
"You're not going to drive my car," Syaoran said sternly, "so scoot over."
"Aww, you're not fun, I got my license already but I just need to sharpen up my skills, pretty please?" begged Sakura putting on her best puppy face. But Syaoran didn't budge and pulled out the keys just in time before Sakura reached for it.
"Hey! That was uncalled for!"
"Suit yourself, this is my car and I have the keys. Neither you scoot over or we can stay here." He smirked knowing that he has the upper hand.
"Fine, fine, as you wish" Sakura sighed with defeat and slide over to the passenger seat.
"Well, where shall we go, miss?" Syaoran asked
"Anywhere but here, I suppose" Sakura answered looking out the window still annoyed how he took all the fun out of everything.
"Sit tight" said Syaoran as he tightened her seat belt and sped off into the night.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wow, that was some ride!" Sakura squealed as they stopped in front of a panoramic view of the city. She got off and leaned on the railing over looking at the shimmering lights in awe.
"What was that all about?' asked Syaoran out of the blue.
"Hoe?" Sakura turned and faced Syaoran, "about what?"
"The scene with Victoria," replied Syaoran.
"I guess she picked the wrong tail to step on, she's been picking on my friends and I since I enrolled in this school and it's about time she realizes she picked the wrong people to mess with."
"Interesting" Syaoran replied jokingly. Sakura gave him a glare and he stopped immediately. "Alright alright, I'm sorry, forgiven?"
"Humph" Sakura said as she walked over to the car but was pulled back by two strong arms.
"Hey, get your hands off of me you pervert!" Sakura said trying to free herself.
"Oh, perverted am I?" Syaoran said mockingly looking down at her small figure.
Sakura glared at him, but he merely smiled "Now aren't we into glares?"
"You.." was all Sakura could get out before she was captured into a fierce kiss. Her body tingled with sensation and her heart raced as Syaoran's tongue slipped into her mouth teasing her. She was shocked and didn't know how to respond at first, but soon closed her eyes and deepened the kiss.
Syaoran tighten his arms around her when she responded. His tongue wrapped around Sakura's, savoring a sweet honey taste in her mouth. Syaoran gently nibbled her lower lip earning a soft moan from Sakura pleading for more.
They broke apart shortly for both of them lacked air. Sakura studied his handsome features and looked into his deep amber eyes that were only centimeters away from her. 'Isn't he a kisser or what?' Sakura thought touching her lips and blushed.
"You have no idea." Syaoran replied and pulled her into another passionate kiss exploring her mouth.
Ta-da!! Sakura's first kiss! *.~ a perfect S+S moment! dis chapter actually took 11 pages to finish..@.@ longest chapter yet! ^^" So how was it??

"Sakura!!" a guy from the crowd yelled, "dance with me!"
Syaoran raised his head quickly and pushed into the crowd. Sure enough, there was Sakura dressed in a light-blue sparkling top, a white leather mini skirt with slits at the side revealing her long milk-colored legs. Sakura also had on stockings that clung to her knees and flared out in the end like bell-bottoms. She wore a white leather jacket and hat with her hair down and sparkling earrings. She smiled seductively at the guy and gave him a wink, then placed her hands on Michelle hips and moved to the rhythm.
Syaoran was breathless as he eyed Sakura from top to bottom and bottom to top again. 'Flawless' was the only word he could use to describe her. His body began to heat up as hormones raced inside him, and the surroundings became fuzzy. He shook his head and then walked away to the refreshment table to cool down.
Sakura was having a blast but she caught a sight of a familiar shadow walking away. She tried to catch a glimpse of who it was, but failed as the crowded was getting bigger and bigger.
Syaoran clutched on to cup and gulped furiously, his cheeks still lingered a light pink as he tried to calm himself down. 'What is this feeling?!" a voice inside echoed over and over again, images of Sakura kept flashing in his mind. Frustrated, he drank more water and kept his thoughts to himself.
"Hey! You guys want a drink?" yelled Vicky over the loud music.
Sakura, Tanya, and Michelle all nodded furiously and walked over the refreshment table with a huge male population tailgating them. Then Sakura saw Syaoran near the refreshment table and calmly walked over.
"Hi" she said gently. Amber met emerald once again and a surge of electricity sparked through both of them.
"Hey" said Syaoran regaining his posture. "Nice outfit" he commented.
"Thanks" Sakura blushed and grab a drink to cool down. She looked over to her friends who were busy chatting with some guys having a great time. Sakura drank silently and tapped her feet to ease the tension.
Mother looking at me
Tell me what do you see?
Yes, I've lost my mind
Daddy looking at me
Will I ever be free?
Have I crossed the line?
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough
All the things she said
All the things she said
Suddenly, the music stopped and a slow song began, couples began to walk out from all directions onto the dance floor. Awkward silence filled in between Sakura and Syaoran as they avoided each other's gaze.
"Sakura! Can I dance with you?"
"No Sakura, dance with me!"
"Come on Sakura, pick me instead!"
The crowd surrounded Sakura and was towering over her. She was overwhelmed and leaned against the refreshment table. 'This isn't happening' she thought to herself.
Jealousy ran through Syaoran's whole body, he glared at the crowd surrounding Sakura and snorted with disapproval. Without any hesitation he grabbed Sakura's wrist and pulled her close to him.
"Sorry guys, but Sakura's with me" with a voice so cold that sent chills down Sakura's back. He looked like he was going to tear whoever that lays a hand on her into shreds. Syaoran eyed each one of the boys gripping Sakura's waist possessively; one by one the boys dispersed the crowd.
His soften as he gazed back at Sakura, who was blushing vividly staring at the ground. Syaoran coughed a couple of times to get her attention, "May I have the pleasure of this dance?" he asked with a French accent and he held out his hand like a gentlemen.
Sakura was stunned, but broke out into fits of laughter when he heard his accent. She looked into his twinkling eyes and took his hand as he led her to the dance floor. Sakura encircled his neck and leaned on to his broad chest. Syaoran held her closely by her waist until Sakura could smell the fragrance of sandalwood and feel his heat emitting from the body enfolding her in a warmness she never felt before. She placed her head onto his chest just under his chin and inhaled his scent like there was not tomorrow.
Syaoran smiled at the maiden in his arms and looked down at her. Her eyes were closed and a gentle smile hung on her face. Sakura leaned on him so peacefully that Syaoran caressed her like a fragile rose petal not daring to make sudden movements. Both were so lost with each other than they were unaware they're being watching with piercing eyes that burned with rage.
The song finally ended and couples parted making room for the people when the techno music started. Sakura unwillingly slid her arms down from Syaoran's neck and parted from each other.
"I have to find my friends now" Sakura stuttered and turned to leave. But was stopped by Syaoran who held onto her hand and looked at her with longing eyes. "I'll help you look," he offered and Sakura nodded silently.
At the back of the gym, Sakura spotted her friends giggling with a group of boys and ran over to meet them with Syaoran following behind. It turned out the boys were Chris, Andrew and Nick who had been eyeing Michelle, Tanya and Vicky for the whole time.
"Hey Sakura! Welcome back!" greeted Tanya who peered behind and then giggled. "Come on Sakura, this is our song let's dance!" and then dragged Chris out to the dance floor motioning Sakura to do the same.
Sakura was confused at first but saw that all her friends were already paired up and then turned to Syaoran who looked just as lost as she was. "Come on," she smiled and dragged Syaoran out and joined her friends.
"All right Saku and Michelle, you guys are first in the circle!" yelled Tanya and cheered. Pretty soon, another crowded surrounded the 4 couples. Andrew and Michelle were already dancing as a couple and did tricks where everyone cheered. Sakura began dancing around Syaoran trying to get him to dance along. He, on the other hand shook his head and chuckled when Sakura tried to get him to dance.
"What's wrong, can't you dance?" Sakura said in a mocking tone and challenged Syaoran.
Syaoran was stunned at the fact he was being challenged by a girl and then smirked, "I sure can" and then grab Sakura's wrists and pulled her toward him.
"Try me" She said her eyes twinkling with excitement.
"You asked for it" he replied and then lifted her up by the waist. The crowd gasped and cheered loudly for the 2 couples. Sakura winked at Andrew who got the message and lifted Michelle high up in the air. The couples moved in sync and soon Tanya and Vicky joined in. Syaoran dropped Sakura and caught her just time as she did the splits then pulled her up swung her to side. She then twirled back to the front and dipped as Syaoran glided his hands up her arms when she lowered to the ground.
The crowd as in awe and held their hands up in the air clapping to the beat. Victoria being infuriated that all the attention went to those 4 goodies-goodies barged through the crowd and roughly shoved Sakura into the wall.
"Listen you Japanese gag, why don't you go back to your hole and stay in there. Don't come here and steal my guy and my reputation in this school!" she said.
Sakura got up and dusted herself and came in eye level with Victoria and glared into her dark ebony eyes "Read my lips, I'm not going anywhere" she challenged "and Syaoran's not your property so don't act like he's yours."
Victoria was fuming by now, she raised her hand and was about to slap her when Sakura caught her hand and double-slapped her instead. "No one ever touches me, you hear?" Sakura threatened.
Tears of anger slid down her burning cheeks as she nursed them with her hands. "Bitch, all of you!" Victoria spat viciously.
"Ooooh.. someone's needs to cool down, what do you say girls?" Michelle chided and then tossed each of the girls a can of coke. Automatically they shook the cans until they were as hard as a rock and then surrounded Victoria's gang.
"Hey Sakura!" Vicky tossed Sakura a can and she caught it and smirked.
Michelle stood by Sakura with a can in her hand "Hey gal, having fun with Josh? You know what, I think everyone has had enough of you laying your dirty hands on their boyfriends. It's about time someone shows you how things work around this school.
As if on cue, the girls opened the cans and stuffed it right into Victoria's face. Victoria screamed for she was drenched in a sticky liquid, ruining her make-up and her dress. Sakura and the girls all laughed hysterically and give everyone high-fives for their masterpiece. Sakura turns to see Syaoran, dumb-stricken by her bold actions, but Sakura merely smiled and tossed him a shaken can of pop.
"Go on, she deserves every ounce you throw on her, just let it all out" Sakura said cheerfully.
At first, Syaoran was uncertain whether he should take it out on Victoria, but thoughts of how she treated him pass by in front of his eyes. The feeling of betrayal slowly filled him with anger and hurt as he opened the can and let the pop gush out into Victoria's face once more.
Victoria was on the verge of tearing up anyone who came close to her, namely the four girls who put up with the act. Being humiliated in front of the school and drenched with a sticky substance was not a pretty sight. Her temper flared when was Sakura standing in front of her smirking. Through her matted hair she aimed for Sakura's face, but failed and crashed into the wall cursing.
Sakura was giggling uncontrollably as Syaoran held her hand and dragged her out the back door when he saw Victoria lunging toward Sakura. For the very first time, he enjoyed what had happened a short moment ago. He suddenly felt lighten and that life had return to it's normal pace. He decided he was going to enjoy tonight and catch up on all the fun we missed out over the year. They stopped under a lamppost catching their breath.
"Hey handsome, how about another round?" suggested Sakura.
"Another of round what?" asked Syaoran who was leaning against the lamppost with his hand on his knees.
"Oh, something you'll just die for." purred Sakura as she walked up to Syaoran their faces merely centimeters away from each other.
Syaoran felt uneasy, he has never seen this side of Sakura before. But somehow, he's attracted to it, like a magnet stuck to a fridge and cannot possibly explain why his feelings seem to be out of sorts tonight. His face burned up rapidly as looked into her emerald eyes and soft pink lips inching closer by the second.
"Got it!" she yelled triumphantly and skipped away to the lot.
Syaoran's face was blank for the moment trying to get her what she meant by her previous remark, but smiled seeing how energetic she was; this was the Sakura he knew. He didn't mind the fiery-tempered side of her, it adds more to her character.
"Come on, I'll give you a ride home!" Syaoran yelled catching up to her.
"Nuh-uh, wrong answer!" Sakura replied and ran to his black convertible sports car and got into the driver's seat.
"What the.. Sakura?" said Syaoran confused what just happened and then patted his side pockets. 'Damn' he cursed silently and looked to Sakura to see her sitting on the driver's obviously amused by how slow he was.
"You're not going to drive my car," Syaoran said sternly, "so scoot over."
"Aww, you're not fun, I got my license already but I just need to sharpen up my skills, pretty please?" begged Sakura putting on her best puppy face. But Syaoran didn't budge and pulled out the keys just in time before Sakura reached for it.
"Hey! That was uncalled for!"
"Suit yourself, this is my car and I have the keys. Neither you scoot over or we can stay here." He smirked knowing that he has the upper hand.
"Fine, fine, as you wish" Sakura sighed with defeat and slide over to the passenger seat.
"Well, where shall we go, miss?" Syaoran asked
"Anywhere but here, I suppose" Sakura answered looking out the window still annoyed how he took all the fun out of everything.
"Sit tight" said Syaoran as he tightened her seat belt and sped off into the night.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wow, that was some ride!" Sakura squealed as they stopped in front of a panoramic view of the city. She got off and leaned on the railing over looking at the shimmering lights in awe.
"What was that all about?' asked Syaoran out of the blue.
"Hoe?" Sakura turned and faced Syaoran, "about what?"
"The scene with Victoria," replied Syaoran.
"I guess she picked the wrong tail to step on, she's been picking on my friends and I since I enrolled in this school and it's about time she realizes she picked the wrong people to mess with."
"Interesting" Syaoran replied jokingly. Sakura gave him a glare and he stopped immediately. "Alright alright, I'm sorry, forgiven?"
"Humph" Sakura said as she walked over to the car but was pulled back by two strong arms.
"Hey, get your hands off of me you pervert!" Sakura said trying to free herself.
"Oh, perverted am I?" Syaoran said mockingly looking down at her small figure.
Sakura glared at him, but he merely smiled "Now aren't we into glares?"
"You.." was all Sakura could get out before she was captured into a fierce kiss. Her body tingled with sensation and her heart raced as Syaoran's tongue slipped into her mouth teasing her. She was shocked and didn't know how to respond at first, but soon closed her eyes and deepened the kiss.
Syaoran tighten his arms around her when she responded. His tongue wrapped around Sakura's, savoring a sweet honey taste in her mouth. Syaoran gently nibbled her lower lip earning a soft moan from Sakura pleading for more.
They broke apart shortly for both of them lacked air. Sakura studied his handsome features and looked into his deep amber eyes that were only centimeters away from her. 'Isn't he a kisser or what?' Sakura thought touching her lips and blushed.
"You have no idea." Syaoran replied and pulled her into another passionate kiss exploring her mouth.
