Chapter Twelve:
Mean Teachers, School Concerts, Jealous Boyfriends! Oh My!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Minna, calm down, onegai. We'll be doing a lot in our next few classes in preparation of..." droned Hirosho Nagami, Seiju High's big-boned upper class music teacher. [Minna: Everyone] [Onegai: Please]
Sakura let the teacher's words pass from one ear out the other. Bored, she sighed and watched white flakes rain down on the ground below. It was the beginning of December and just a few more weeks until the Christmas spirit would shower the town. She tore her eyes off the window for a second and glanced at the empty seat next to her. =Tomoyo-chan...= she sighed. Sakura craned her neck to look over her shoulder at Eriol. A frown replaced his usual sly grin, the happiness that usually danced in his eyes was gone, his already pale face had dropped to a pure white.
And Sakura knew exactly the reason why.
Her auburn head turned back towards the flurries outside and rested her chin in her hand. It had been precisely a week since the... incident. Tomoyo, Sakura's best friend, had been out the whole week, even by Tomoyo's protest and rants. Sonomi, her mother, had gone hysterical when she found out. "Overreacting" as Tomoyo would say.
All of a sudden, a bump from her chair woke Sakura from her thoughts. Something hit her chair again and she yelped. She turned around in her chair and placed a glare at the person behind her, Li Syaoran, her unclaimed boyfriend.
Syaoran gave Sakura an innocent smile and pointed upward towards the front of the room.
Sakura knew what that meant. Nervously, she turned frontward in her chair when...
THUMP! Two hands slapped themselves on Sakura's desk. She jumped and yelped in surprise. Sakura eyed the rings on the hands' fingers and the perfectly painted nails. She looked up slowly at the hands' owner and...
"KINOMOTO-SAN!" yelled the teacher. The whole class jumped in their seats at the woman's high-pitched voice. Now they knew why she was their music teacher.
Immediately, Sakura leaped high out of her seat and bent low, very low. Her chair fell backwards and hit Syaoran in the shins. "Itei! Itai!!" he screeched as he fell back into his chair. The whole class sweatdropped. [Itai: Ouch]
Sakura, as much as she wanted to, didn't dare look back. She stayed in the position of a low bending with hands folded, almost reaching the ground. "Gomen nasai, Hirosho-sensei," Sakura whispered loudly. [Gomen nasai: I'm sorry] [Sensei: Teacher]
Hirosho eyed Sakura and walked back to the front of the class. Her hands were clamped behind her back as she walked passed the black board full of G-Clefs and notes. "You may have a seat, Kinomoto-san. You too, Li-kun."
Sakura pulled her chair in the upright position and sat down, hearing Syaoran do the same while grumbling a few incoherent words to himself. "Kinomoto-san..." started Hirosho.
Sakura's head perked up and answered quite fast, "Hai?"
"My memory has been quite... distracted. Would you please remind what we were just previously talking about?" Sakura knew this was a trick. Hirosho could have just asked if Sakura was listening to what she was talking about before but noooo... This teacher had to be so technical! [Hai: Yes]
"Ummm... Ermm... Uhhh..." Sakura fidgeted in her chair trying to find the best excuse for her inattentiveness.
Then a voice popped into her head. An oddly familiar one. =Say the Christmas Concert, Sakura-san...=
"The Christmas Concert!" Sakura blurted. The whole class turned their heads at her, but Sakura kept her head high, proud of her stolen answer.
Hirosho frowned in displeasure. "Right then. As I was saying..." she droned on again.
A bead of sweat ran down Sakura's head as she sighed in relief. =Good job there, Sakura-san!= Then and there Sakura recognized that voice. She turned sideways to look at Eriol, who was already looking at her. She whispered a tiny 'Thanks' and he gave her a thumbs up. Eriol looked back sadly unto Tomoyo's empty seat. Sakura gave him one last soft smile of assurance before turning around in her seat.
Sakura, looking once more outside, thought about Eriol's promise he had made a week ago. A promise of revenge. She shivered at the thought of dark Eriol and...
"Kinomoto Sakura!"
Sakura jumped a mile high once more. "Hai?!" she shrieked again, thinking she was in for more trouble.
"You'll be paired up with Bobby Smith-san," came Hirosho's voice.
Sakura gave a more confident "Hai!" and looked over at Bobby in font of Tomoyo's seat. He also looked back and gave her a smile. Sakura turned her attention to the front of the room as if she totally knew what was going on. "Wha-? Paired up for what? A Christmas Concert?" she whispered to herself.
Behind her she could hear Syaoran plain and clear, growling and muttering incoherent things. He must've been paying attention in class. Maybe Syaoran could tell her what was going on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The school cafeteria bustled with noise as students crammed in, looking anxiously for any open seats. Far off in a corner, a small table of five seated four students who all but one ate their lunch slowly.
"Too bad we couldn't eat outside. The snow isn't that bad outside, compared to England," Eriol remarked.
"Yeah, well," started Meiling, jabbing her rice-covered chopsticks in the air after she stopped stuffing her mouth momentarily, "I'd rather be in this warm cafe that freezing my ass off outside." She resumed eating while Sakura giggled, taking a sip of cola.
"Grrr... That Hirosho woman's a witch!" A lunch tray slammed down on the table by an angry Naoko. Her angry voice changed into a sweet one as she asked, "Anyone sitting here?"
"Go ahead," Sakura chimed.
Naoko opened a can of soda and brought it to her lips. She savored the fizz for a second and swallowed picking up her chopsticks. "As I was saying, Hirosho's just a big fat bloke." (A/n: Bloke... ^^ Sorry! Couldn't help it! Been reading a bit too much Harry Potter! Love them sooooo much!)
"Tell me about it," Syaoran muttered lightly under his breath.
"She's been here for only a few months and she thinks she rules the place! Mou! Giving me a detention for no good reason and yelling at Sakura-chan..." Naoko mumbled the last part as she stuffed her mouth with sashimi as fast as she could then jugged down the rest of her soda. [Mou: Geez]
She sighed and stood up from her chair, picking up her tray and trash. "Well, I gotta go see what detention the bloke wants." Meiling giggled.
"De-demo! You just got here, Naoko-chan!" Sakura sputtered. [Demo: But]
"Wish I could stay. Ja!"
"Ja." Everyone watched as Naoko's figure disappeared through the many other teenagers in the cafe.
"Hoe... Naoko-chan was barely even here for three minutes," Sakura said, surprised.
"`Eah, `he eats `ast," Meiling gargled, mouth full of food.
"Speak for yourself, Meiling." Syaoran picked up his chopsticks and ate his food with manners.
Meiling once more poked her chopsticks in the air threateningly, this one more closer to her cousin. "`Ey! At weast I `on't eat wike a-!"
"Konnichiwa. May I sit here?" A figure with a lunch tray was silhouetted against the bright lights in the large cafeteria, indicating to the empty seat beside Sakura. [Konnichiwa: Good afternoon]
Meiling recognized the voice and choked on her food. "Gack! Hack! Cough! Cough! Choke! Hack!" She jugged down her whole glass of water, panting like mad while Sakura patted her back worriedly. "I'm okay! Cough! Yeah."
The person, taking Meiling's choking as a yes, sat down next to Sakura and smiled. "All right there, Li-san?"
Meiling nodded and blushed a light pink. "Meiling," she whispered. Syaoran scowled.
"All right then, Meiling-san." Bobby turned to Sakura and smiled even more, which, as she was looking over Sakura's shoulder, made Meiling blush a brighter pink. Sakura gave him the satisfaction of giving the smile right back; Syaoran scowled even louder. "I'm glad we're partners, Sakura-chan."
"I'm glad too!" she answered brightly, pointing her index finger knowingly. *Scowl from Syaoran* Sakura blinked twice in confusion, her mouth still opened. "Partners for what?"
Syaoran, Bobby, Meiling and Eriol all dropped on the floor, legs twitching and heads sweatdropping. "H-Hoe..?"
"Christmas concert, Sakura-san. Hirosho-sensei paired us all up to do a duet with our partner or something like that," Eriol explained while Syaoran kicked Meiling outta her seat next to Sakura and sat there himself.
"Ah, suka," Sakura mumbled to herself. Syaoran pulled her seat slowly closer to his while Meiling pounded on his back yelling, "Gimme back my seat, y'ol' git!" She stopped immediately after seeing she had a perfect view of Bobby from her seat. [Suka: I see]
Sakura turned around, feeling a green aura extra, extra close, and clung around the owner's neck. "Syaoran-kun! Didn't hear you change seats!" ^^;;
Syaoran gave Bobby a triumphant smirk at getting Sakura's attention back. Bobby, who was frowning before at the scene, smirked backed at him menacingly.
The lunch bell shrilled, and minutes later, the cafeteria was empty.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I can't believe Hirosho paired me up with you," Syaoran hissed at Meiling as the two headed for their next class after lunch. "Plain disgusting if you ask me. I'm your cousin!" Just a few feet in front of the two were Sakura, Eriol, and Bobby, heading all for the same class.
"Hey, don't think I'm happy either!" she retorted.
"You woulda been a few years back..." he muttered, eyeing Bobby suspiciously.
"I heard that, dammit!"
"And what the hell is this? Pairing up my Cherry Blossom with that scumbag, Smith," Syaoran complained, clearly ignoring last comment. "I'm glad Eri... Hiiragizawa is walking with them." (A/n: Sorry if I keep spelling Eriol's last name wrong. I always forget which has the two i's. But I think this one is right. ^^)
Meiling looked amused. "What? Don't you trust Sakura?"
"Hell ya I trust Sakura. I trust her with my damn life. It's that asshole that on her left side I don't trust. You never know what filthy things he'll try. I could tell he likes Sakura," Syaoran stated, stopping momentarily at his locker for a few books.
Meiling cringed at hearing that fact.
Syaoran's eyes darted from Bobby to Meiling. "Don't you go liking that Smith-kid. I won't have a cousin of mine liking a rival," he snorted.
Meiling blushed and shook her head, adding fiercely, "Who the hell said!"
Syaoran 'humphed' as they continued trailing the trio.
"So do you want Sakura as your partner or what?" asked Meiling, determined to change the subject.
"Well, derf, she's only the one I love, plus my girlfriend!" he responded in a sarcastic voice.
Meiling let out a fake cough which vaguely sounded like the word, 'Unclaimed.' Syaoran glared at her.
"Well, then..." She whispered a plan into Syaoran's ear, keeping herself as quiet as she could, though there really was no need to for the hall was bustling with students.
The teenage boy smiled but his smile turned into a doubtful frown. "With Hirosho? I doubt that old hag would let us."
"Well, it never hurts to try, dear cousin. It never hurts to try."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Err... Uh... Ahem..?" Hirosho Nagami heard from just outside her door.
She didn't bother look up from the papers she was sorting and acknowledged the boy to come inside. "Come in, Li-kun."
Syaoran's head popped into the classroom and entered. At her desk Hirosho was staring at a piece of paper, eyebrows disappearing into her hair and glasses at the tip of her nose. "Err... How'd you know it was me?" he asked. Syaoran's amber eyes flickered briefly at the door, where outside Sakura and Meiling were waiting for him.
"As music teacher of the upper classmen, it is my duty to recognize each and every one of my student's voices," Hirosho answered, still not looking up at the annoyed Syaoran and checking out more papers with amused looks
"Right. Hirosho-sensei, would you mind if I asked a slight favor?"
Syaoran sighed in relief when the music teacher finally looked at him. She slowly took off her glasses and her eyebrows were back in place from her amused expressions. "And what might this favor be?"
"Geh... I was wondering if Smith-san and I could... erm... swap places for the Christmas Concert...?" His statement came out more like a question. Talking was heard from the door outside, and Syaoran knew Meiling was trying to distract Sakura from hearing this conversation with Hirosho.
But then he heard a third voice.
|+|Outside the classroom|+|
Meiling heard Syaoran ask Hirosho for the swap and shrieked loud enough to cover the question. Sakura's head swiveled toward the shouting girl, looking absolutely alarmed. "Daijoubu ka, Meiling-chan?!" [Daijoubu ka?: Are you alright?]
She listened intently for more noise concerning the concert and put a healthy smile on. "Hai!"
Sakura raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Then what was the shriek for?" She took a swift look over the raven-haired girl's shoulder. "And what is Syaoran-kun asking Hirosho-sensei for?"
Meiling's healthy smile turned into a nervous one as she put her hands up in defense. "He- I-"
"Whatcha girls up to?" A crystal blue-eyed teen walked up to the two girls, back pack plus coat slinged over his back. He gave them a big toothy grin. "How are you, Meiling?"
Now Meiling's nervous smile mixed in with a giddy one as she muttered, "F.. F-Fine."
"That's good. Listen, Sakura, do you want me to walk you home?"
Poor Mei's heart fell. Sakura.... again.
"Gomen ne, Bobby-kun," Mei heard Sakura's cheerful answer. "Syao-kun is walking me home after he finishes whatever he's asking from Hirosho-sensei. Thanks anyway."
A toothy frown took the place of his toothy grin at her answer and her "Syao-kun" pet name. "But... We should start discussing our presentation for the concert already. This would be a good time to confer."
"Gomen, Bobby-kun. Plans!" Meiling noticed Sakura's náive unawareness to Bobby's urging desire for attention. "Matta ne!"
"Yeah, c'ya, Sakura," he muttered, walking away, without saying good-bye to Meiling.
|+| Back in the classroom|+|
Syaoran heard the third voice disappear and sighed with relief. Sakura was still with him. "Have you received Smith-san's consent on switching partners? He seemed to be ecstatic to work with-" She glanced down at one of her papers. "-Kinomoto."
"Why..." Syaoran paused for a moment. His palms started to get sweaty. "Why, he was glad to swap. I see he... err... has a thing for my cousin, the one you paired me up with."
Hirosho's attention continued back to her stack of papers on her desk. "I'll ask Smith-san about it. Have a nice day."
He cringed. Ask the Smith-kid? Of course Syaoran didn't ask him! Now if Hirosho finds out, she'll know Syaoran was lying to a teacher! Not good... Not good at all.
"But-"
"You are dismissed, Li-kun." Syaoran heard the pissed-off-ness in her voice and didn't say another word. He left to join the girls.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the three walked down the street opposite Seiju, the two cousins remained awfully quiet. Sakura was getting quite twitchy with the silence, but she left she scene as it was.
A few mute minutes passed by...
Sakura bit her bottom lip softly. "Grrr... Can't take it anymore! You guys aren't really this silent on our ways home!"
Syaoran head perked up, his messy brown bangs swayed over his eyes. "Eh?! Wha-?! Where da danger?!"
"No danger, Syaoran-kun! I just want to know what your hiding from me!" Sakura was on the verge of tears and had her hands embraced tightly around Syaoran's waist.
Syaoran pulled her into her own hug and whispered apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry for upsetting you. It's nothing serious, really."
"Then can you tell me? I mean- You don't have to if it's personal," Sakura muttered. Meiling watched as she felt a feeling of loneliness subside in her. When will it be her turn for love?
"Oh, I don't mind. It does concern you, anyway. But not here. I don't feel like walking in the snow anymore." they separated from their hug, and Syaoran gave her a peck on the forehead. He still hadn't given her her first kiss yet, in hope of catching it in the right moment.
"Oh, goody!" Sakura yelled cheerfully with her hands clasped together. "I know just the place!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I-Ice sc-scream s-shop, S-Sakura?!" Meiling uttered choppily, her teeth chattering loudly. "It's w-worse in here than ou-outside!"
Sakura watched as Meiling and Syaoran wrapped themselves in their coats tighter. Their breath was visible even in the empty shop. "Well, the ice scream is 50% off here. I thought we'd take advantage of the price!" She watched again as Syaoran and Meiling slid off their seats, sprawled on the floor with sweatdrops. "So I'm guessing nobody else wants ice scream?"
The shook their heads furiously.
"Alrighty then! More for me! Oh, and I'll ask then manager to turn the heat up." They awarded her with 'Th-Thank y-you's and she left them at the table, shaking in their seats.
A few minutes at the counter and Sakura was back at the table with a strawberry sundae and three spoons. "The heat's on! Even though I kinda had a little fight with the manager, I managed to tell him that the ice scream won't melt, plus it won't matter 'cause people won't come in here due to the cold weather. 'Cept me of course!" Sakura took one of the spoons and scooped some ice scream into her mouth. She let it savor in her mouth before swallowing.
Meiling eyed the two extra spoons and asked, "Why'd you get three spoons?"
"Just in case you guys come back to your senses and want some." She stopped eating too fast when a shiver ran down her back and brain freeze was about to take over her head. "So what's the news, Syaoran-kun?" She ladled some more pinkish ice scream and put it near Syaoran's mouth. He shook his head furiously, red from the coldness though it was starting to warm up. Sakura frowned and popped it into her own mouth.
"Well, you know Hirosho paired you and Smith up?" Sakura nodded. "And you know I'm jealous, right?"
Sakura choked on her food and grinned childishly. "The infamous Li Syaoran is jealous?"
Sakura started laughing but Syaoran kept his chin up high. "It is my duty to be jealous and to ward off any threatening male as your boyfriend." Once again, Meiling sputtered a fake cough sounding like, 'Never asked.' Agitated he yelled, "Fine! Sakura, will you give me the pleasure of being your boyfriend?"
Sakura giggled girlishly and answered with a cute, "Yes."
Syaoran glared at his odango-styled cousin. "Happy?! Sakura and I are a sweet official couple now!"
"Good!" she grunted and shot him a dirty look. "Carry on now, dear unsingle cousin."
Syaoran gave his attention to the ice scream consuming Cherry Blossom. "Meiling and I were... Err... making plans, you see. Plans that would-"
"My plans, thank you very much!"
"Right. Plans that would let Hirosho let Smith and I swap partners. That is, unless you want to stay with that git," he said through clenched teeth.
"Oh, Syaoran-kun, Bobby-kun isn't a git. But I would love to be partners with my... *Giggle*... Boyfriend. (A/n: Lol! I do that a lot! I'm very girly when I wanna be...~.^) That is, unless Meiling doesn't want Bobby-kun as a partner."
Meiling opened her mouth to say something, but her cousin beat her to it. "Oh no, Meiling wouldn't give a rat's ass. Actually, she'd be delighted to! Ya see, Sakura, I think she has a thing for-"
"EH?!?! I DO NOT HAVE A THING FOR SMITH!!!" Meiling stood up, knocking over her chair and screaming so loudly that the bored workers inside the shop looked over to see what all the commotion was all about.
"Oh, Meiling-chan!" Sakura cheered cheerfully. "I never knew you liked Bobby!"
Meiling's face turned the brightest red ever. "I SAID I DON'T LIKE HIM!! I BARELY EVEN KNOW HIM!"
"Oh ya?" Syaoran started nonchalantly with his feet rested on the chair opposite him. "Why's your face all red and why're you yelling at us?"
"'CAUSE-!" Meiling stopped mid-sentence and sat down as if nothing happened. "Go on, dear ol' cousin of mine that I'd like to strangle right now."
Syaoran grinned. "Well, Sakura, since you've agreed, we have to find a way to get Hirosho to let us swap. I already told her Smith agreed on switching which is, derf, a lie. Now she's gonna ask Smith if he really did consent 'cause she's a sniveling unbelieving bitch. Then she's gonna know I lied to her and I'll be in deep shit."
Sakura chuckled at his explanation and finished the last of her ice scream. "Yes, it's just another thing to worry about. What'd do you think about the strange events going on? The Shen guy hasn't come again since T-Tomyo-chan's.... episode. I'm still wondering how he accessed into my Sakura Cards and managed to turn them into 'Shen Cards.'"
"I'm wondering that too. Since my Sakura is the world's greatest sorceress," Syaoran praised, getting the satisfaction of a deep flush from Sakura.
"Yeah. And Eriol is getting creepier and creepier by the second now that he's plotting revenge," Meiling pointed out, scraping some left over ice scream and getting a "Now you want some."
Sakura was yelling at Meiling for not asking for any ice scream when she offered when the thought hit her. =Eriol-kun went into my mind today. I'll have to ask him about that later on.=
The trio continued on with their talk of plans and Shen until the manager of the shop shooed them out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Eriol-kun, who's your partner for the Christmas Concert?" Sakura asked, strolling along next to him. They headed for their music class to discuss the concert further with Hirosho-sensei.
"Tomoyo-chan." he answered. Sakura noticed his voice to be very abrupt and quite snappy... ish. She flinched slightly.
"Tomoyo?" asked Syaoran coming from behind Sakura. Meiling joined them a few seconds after and became aware of the blond-haired blue-eyed Bobby following them. (A/n: I just noticed... I put all of them in the same exact classes, weird.)
"Yes, Tomoyo." Eriol's voice was cracking unnoticed with urgency and pain. But they all knew Tomoyo was coming back to school the next day... "Tomoyo-chan is Hirosho's favorite student, and she knows she and I are girlfriend/boyfriend, so she let me have her as my partner."
"Suka..." Syaoran muttered. Just then, a brilliant plan hatched at the top of his head. They stayed quiet the rest of the journey towards the classroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I was thinking of doing..."
Sakura's eyes wandered to the rest of the class. It wasn't their usual routine that day during music class. Desks were empty as students were in groups of two chatting away and planning their share of the concert coming soon. Sakura spotted Eriol talking to the teacher, Hirosho, a sneer somewhat on his face. She also spotted Meiling and Syaoran, looking kinda bored, and being quite close to Bobby and herself. Once in a while, Syaoran would look over Meiling's shoulder to Sakura, checking if she was okay and giving death glares at Bobby's back occasionally.
"Sakura? Sakura-chan, you there?"
"Huh-? Wha-?" Sakura snapped back to reality, tearing her gaze from the Syaoran and looking at an annoyed Bobby.
Bobby stared intently at Sakura, then turned to see what she was looking at behind himself. His smile became a tight thin line and his gaze was drilling holes right through the girl's odango head and straight at her cousin. =You'll get what's coming to you, boy. Just wait and see.=
A few minutes before while the class was getting loud, Hirosho had pulled Bobby aside to ask him he had agreed to switch partners with Syaoran. "I know what you're getting at..." he seethed hotly, barely audible through the ruckus the class was making.
"Hmm? Did you say something, Bobby-kun?" his partner sweetly questioned, hearing a slight mumble from him.
=Nothing, my sweet Ying Fa. Nothing at all.= Through gritted teeth, her answered, "Nothing, Sakura. Nothing at all. Now, about our presentation..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Bu.. But-!"
"No buts, Li-kun. I talked directly to Smith-kun and he strictly informed me that he had no intention of swapping partners. Detention, Li-kun, for lying to a teacher and trying to trick a fellow classmate. Now, if you excuse me, I'm very busy at the moment." Hirosho flipped through many papers, shuffled some, and sorted a few. Her glasses were threatening to fall off her nose if she did not adjust them.
"W-Wait, Hirosho-sensei!" Syaoran's face was red from arguing.
"I said, good day, Li-kun!" Hirosho's voice rose pretty high, clearly irritated.
Syaoran stalked off into the hall, passing his giggling cousin and enclosing his hand gently around his sweat-dropping girlfriend. Once out of ear-shot of Hirosho, Syaoran muttered angrily, "Bitch."
To be continued...
