~~~Scene Change~~~

~~~~~~

A week had already gone by and she and Syaoran were still meeting for their tutoring sessions. They were surprised that they could actually stand each other.

The clock ticked slowly as sweat collected on Sakura's brow. In five minutes, she'd be getting the results from their last algebra pop quiz. Syaoran smirked seeing her freeze in her seat.

Her bottom lip quivered fearing the worst. If she got below a C she'd be closer to getting kicked out of the cheerleading squad. The teacher came by smiling when he handed her the paper. Sakura closed her eyes shut and slowly opened one eye and then the other.

Syaoran suppressed a chuckle seeing her slowly pick up the paper.

"B+" she whispered to herself. She beamed when she saw that it wasn't her usual D.

"Aren't there two words you should say to me?" he tapped her on the shoulder.

"Yeah, Shut. Up," she wittily replied.

"I meant two other words."

"Go. Away,"

"I thinking more on the lines of 'thank you' but I guess that's the Queen of Bitchy's way of being nice."

Syaoran sighed but was proud of his work. He grinned to himself and turned back to his lit. homework and waited for the lunch bell to ring.

Sakura speedily got up and rushed for her locker when the bell finally rang. She had to meet Victor again at the benches. She reapplied her lip gloss and mascara and checked herself one more time before dashing out.

"Hey babe," Victor smiled. "Hey Victor. Sorry I kept you waiting." Sakura got out her usual apple and soda from her bag.

"So, how did tryouts go yesterday?" she asked taking a sip. Victor took the soda from and took a sip but then put it down.

"Forget about that," he grinned lecherously at her. He leaned in for a kiss which she caught off guard. Unknown to the "couple" Syaoran was in the sakura tree above the bench. He winced in disgust and turned away.

She started to return the kiss when she felt his hand start to rub against her upper thigh. She tried pushing it away but it didn't work. Syaoran watched as she tried to stop him. Sakura mentally yelled at Victor to stop as he pressed his lips into her harder.

'Hentai no baka! Stop watching her… uh them,' Syaoran scolded himself. Just then he caught her trying to shift as he started pushing his hand higher.

Sakura groaned in protest but Victor took it as a sign to go further.

Syaoran silently climbed down from the tree. 'I'm probably going to regret this.'

Syaoran cleared his throat, "Kinimoto, I'm sorry to interrupt but this is important. It's about tutoring and Mr. Terada needs to see us."

Victor groaned and let go of Sakura. "Go away geek. Find some other person to annoy. Brown noser," he spat.

Oh yeah, he definitely regretted this.

"Just because you can get your tongue out of her mouth doesn't mean I'm going to be kept waiting. Kinimoto, if you value your grades at all, I suggest you come along," Syaoran replied ignoring Victor's glare.

"Sorry Hun, I got to go. I'll see you after school," Sakura plastered on a fake smile. She secretly thanked the gods for Mr. Terada.

She followed Syaoran until they were out of Victor's sight. "Okay, you can stop following me now. I don't think we should stand each other any longer than we have to," Syaoran broke the silence.

"What do you mean? You said that Mr. Terada needs to see us about tutoring," she inquired.

"I saw the whole thing. I was in the tree above the benches," he met her eye to eye.

"No you weren't! We would've heard,"

"I was,"

"Who cares lets just go see Mr. Terada," she started to pull his sleeve.

"He doesn't need to see us. I already told you that," he stopped her. She looked into his eyes trying to read them.

"Then why did you say that he did? Did you try to… save me?" she asked, her voice barely audible. She watched him shake his head.

"I don't know why I did that, okay? Just leave me alone now," he walked away leaving her confused. 'Just forget about Syao- the freak. He's just a loser who was just jealous of Victor.'

She walked off to find Rika trying to avoid Victor.

Syaoran on the other hand walked back to his usual spot to sit. 'Baka! Baka! Baka! Why did you have to go and do that? Why could you have just left her there instead?

Syaoran slapped his forehead and shook it off.

~~~~~~

"Attention students, the results of the soccer tryouts are in! They will be posted in the main halls today after school. I repeat, they will be posted in the main halls today. Congratulations to those who have made it. Remember that you'll be meeting with Coach Saitou after school today. That is all," came a voice over the intercom.

Syaoran started to worry if he really had made it or not. Eriol did say that he did but hey, Eriol wasn't captain now was he? He looked over at Eriol who was studying for lit. exam next period. Eriol looked up and gave him half a smile which Syaoran reluctantly returned. 'Wow, someone actually smiled at me. Okay, something his DEFINATLEY wrong,' Syaoran chuckled silently to himself catching the attention of Sakura.

She turned around in her seat and looked at him inquisitively. "So now you're a mentally challenged loser? You're laughing at nothing," she said earning a glare.

"I'm sorry, but people with an I.Q lower than a fleas, such as yourself, should be considered to be mentally challenged. I on the other hand am perfectly fine and sane, thank you very much," Syaoran replied with a smirk seeing her fume.

"I am not stupid!" she exclaimed.

"Spell it,"

"S-Y-A-O-R-A-N," she smirked.

"Wrong again, your supposed to spell it S-A-K-U-R-A. Get that into that little pea brain of yours!" he joked.

"Anyway, am I supposed to meet you after school today?" she asked trying her best to be calm.

"Umm… I get back to you on that later. I'll see you at your locker after school. Okay?" he asked her.

"I hate having nerds within a mile radius of my locker but I guess I'll just have to make an exception," she sighed. She smiled to herself when she turned back around.

"Whatever. Queen of Bitchy."

~~~~~~

Syaoran slammed his locker shut and slung his black back pack over his shoulder. He walked over to a swarm of boys all shoving each other trying to see the results. Having been taught the virtue of patience, he waited while he watched as some boys cheered and other left looking disappointed.

"Wait your turn loser!"

"I was here first!"

"Move out of my way!" they all exclaimed shoving each other. Syaoran sighed at their stupidity. Couldn't they just have gone to any of the other main halls? Stupidity probably flowed in the waters of their school.

After waiting for what seemed like eternity, they had finally cleared and Syaoran stepped up and scanned the chart for his name. Sure enough, it was there in the middle. He smirked to himself and headed towards Sakura's locker.

She saw him heading towards her and actually gave him a smile.

"Like oh my gosh! Like you totally smiled like at like me!" Syaoran joked.

"Nerd, why are you talking like that?"

"Aren't you supposed to talk like that around your locker? I mean, that's what I usually here. I don't want to break any speech code around here," he teased.

"Shut up. So are we going to have tutoring or not?" she started to lose her patience.

"Nope. I have to go meet Coach Saitou," he replied cockily. She gaped at his answer.

"YOU of all people made it? I don't see any pigs flying around yet!" she exclaimed.

"Yes I made it. Just by some artificial wings and glue them to your back, then we'll see pigs flying around here," he earned a glare.

"Oh just shut up and go away! I can't stand being seen with you any longer than I have to,"

"Why, because you'll start saying words longer than five letters?"

"Hey babe what's going on? What are you doing here geek?" Victor gave him a shove. Syaoran glared at him.

"Sorry if I'm hangin' around you so called girlfriend here. Please don't mind if she says any word that's longer than five letters. You may not be able to understand. She may have gotten to used to me talking to her," Syaoran replied.

"What are you trying to say dweeb?" Victor glared.

"I'm saying that the only words that you know are shorter than five letters: bed, floor, screw, boobs, legs, pussy, f***, me, now, etc.," Syaoran smirked.

"Hey, at least I know and have used all of those words unlike you," Victor said making Sakura's eyes widen.

"You probably never used the word 'condom' because it's longer than five letters," Syaoran answered making Victor blush and fume at the same time.

"Why you little…" Victor was about to attack Syaoran. Sakura put a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.

"Come on, baby, he's not worth your time. Go on, Coach Saitou's probably waiting," Sakura spoke trying to calm his nerves.

"Watch out next time punk, your ass will be mine," he growled. Sakura pushed him away and he walked away.

After he was out of their sight Sakura turned back to Syaoran who still had an angry look on his face. 'You'll have my ass, my ass!!' Syaoran mentally growled.

"You should thank me for saving you. You couldn't have taken him on your own," Sakura mused. 'That's what you think.'

"Then you should thank me too. Why do you think I interrupted your 'intimate' moment. He was taking advantage of you," Syaoran looked her in the eye.

Sakura paused not knowing what to say, "No he wasn't," she whispered. "You know it and I know it, he's no good Kinimoto," he warned her, "I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow, bye," he left.

Sakura just watched as he walked away. "Thank you," she whispered unconsciously. As Syaoran walked he turned back and looked at her finding her with her head down.

"He's no Kinimoto. No good at all."
