King of Hearts- Chapter 4

// The next week \\
Syaoran walked his new girlfriend, Carla, to her class. When they reached
her classroom
door, they stopped and held hands.
"I'll see you at lunch, okay?" Syaoran said, placing a palm on her pink
cheek. Carla
blushed a bit.
"Okay." Carla said happily.
"See you later, babe." he said. He tilted her head up a bit and kissed
her. Carla blushed
yet again.
"Bye, Syaoran." she said. While he was leaving, she waved good bye.
Syaoran headed for his classroom. While walking to class, he was laying
out his plans in
his head.
'Okay. Carla's the second to last girl that I have to go out with. Sakura
will be the last
girl I go out with. It's perfect. Then, I'll be the first guy to go
out with every girl in Ling
High School. This is too easy. I just have to break up with Carla in
a few more days, then
I'll easily steal Sakura's heart, then break it.' he thought. Syaoran
let out a sly grin.
'Maybe I should flirt with her a bit so that she'll have "feelings"
for me.' Syaoran
thought. He walked into the classroom, looking for Sakura. Suddenly,
a frown
immediately appeared on his face. 'Damn it. David beat me to it.' he
thought angrily.
Apparently, David and Sakura were flirting with each other...and enjoying
it. Syaoran's
hand slowly curled up into a fist. It made him angry to watch them
flirting with each
other. Realizing what he was doing, he immediately stopped and sat
at his desk.
Suddenly, he felt someone put a hand on his shoulder. A bit startled,
Syaoran turned
around to see who it was. He then let out a sigh of relief.
"Tomoyo. You startled me." he said. Tomoyo giggled.
"Hmm...you had an interesting look on your face just a while ago." Tomoyo
said with a
grin on her face. Syaoran tried hard to hold back his blush.
"What look?" he asked, trying to play it off.
"You know very well what I'm talking about. When you saw Sakura and
David, you
looked disturbed." Tomoyo said. Syaoran looked at the floor and said
nothing. Tomoyo
grinned. "You like her, don't you?" Tomoyo said accusingly.
"What?!? What're you talking about? I don't like her! I don't care about
her." Syaoran
said. Tomoyo laughed.
"Oh really? If you don't like her or care about her, then why are you
blushing?" Tomoyo
asked slyly. Without replying, Syaoran turned away from Tomoyo, feeling
completely
embarrassed.
"I don't like her, okay?" he said finally.
"Okay, then." Tomoyo said, trying hard to hold back a laugh.
"Okay, everyone! Sit down! Class is starting." the teacher said.
// At lunch \\
Sakura and Tomoyo sat underneath a cherry blossom tree, eating their
lunch. After taking
a few bites out their sandwiches, they began to converse with each
other.
"So, Tomoyo. Anything new with Syaoran?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Oh my god. You should've seen it! In class, when you were flirting
with David, Syaoran
was watching you and he was getting all mad watching you guys." Tomoyo
said, trying to
hold back laughter.
"Oh my god!! Really?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo nodded her head. Sakura then
burst out
into laughter. Tomoyo soon joined her. After their laughter diminished,
Tomoyo spoke
again.
"You know what? I think Syaoran is beginning to fall for you. Everytime
he sees you, he
looks very happy, but when he sees you with David or another guy, he
gets mad. Doesn't
that tell you something?"
"Yeah, I've noticed that. I think he's starting to like me." Sakura
said. "And that's good.
The more he likes me, the more hurt he'll be when I break his heart."
she said evilly.
Tomoyo revealed an evil grin.
"You wanna take a walk around? Knowing Syaoran, he'll probably 'coincidentally'
bump into you." Tomoyo suggested.
"Yeah. Let's go. Then I can play with his emotions more." Sakura said.
With that, they
got up from their places and walked around.
// Somewhere else...\\
Carla and Syaoran stood at the entrance of the school, holding hands.
Carla smiled at
Syaoran, trying to hold back her blush.
"So, what are you doing after school today, Syaoran?" Carla asked.
"Well, I have soccer practice after school, but I can always make room
for you." Syaoran
said with suave in his voice. Carla looked away from his face, blushing
furiously.
Syaoran chuckled. He then turned her head to face his and kissed her
lips. Syaoran
wrapped his arms around her waist while she wrapped her arms around
his neck. They
kissed each other like they were the only people in the world. Suddenly,
they were
interrupted by an announcement over the loudspeaker.
Attention all cheerleaders. Please come to the gym area in 5 minutes.
This is
mandatory. All cheerleaders, come to the gym in 5 minutes for a
mandatory meeting.
Thank you.
Carla looked at Syaoran and pouted.
"Sorry, Syaoran. I gotta go." she said while running her fingers through
Syaoran's
chestnut hair. He smiled at her.
"Go on. I'll see you after school." Syaoran said.
"Okay!" she said happily. She gave Syaoran a quick kiss on the lips.
"Bye." she said.
After leaving, Syaoran let out a sigh.
"Oh my god. I can't wait to get this over with! I can't stand her."
Syaoran said quietly to
himself. "I'll kill myself if I don't break up with her soon." he said,
letting out another
sigh. "All I want to do is break up with Carla and finally go out with--"
Syaoran stopped
mid-sentence after hearing footsteps coming in his direction. After
seeing who was
coming his way, he smiled. "Sakura!" Syaoran called out.
Sakura turned and looked at him.
"Oh. Hi, Syaoran." Sakura said plainly.
"What's up?" he asked as he walked closer towards her.
"Nothing much." Sakura said blatantly. Syaoran was beginning to panic
inside, not
knowing what to say to her. Syaoran was about to say something to her
when Sakura
spoke. "Um, I don't mean to be rude by cutting this conversation short,
but I have to go
to a mandatory cheerleading meeting and I can't be late. Sorry." she
said.
"Oh, okay." Syaoran said. He tried to hide his disappointment. "By the
way, where's
Tomoyo?" he asked.
"Oh, she's with Chiharu and Naoko somewhere over there." Sakura said,
pointing behind
her. "I gotta go now. Bye." With that, she jogged towards the
gym area. As she jogged
away, she smiled to herself.
'This is great. It's so obvious that he has some kind of feelings for
me. It'll be so easy to
break his heart. Then he'll knows what it feels like to have your heart
scarred forever.'
Sakura thought.
// Syaoran's POV \\
Syaoran watched as Sakura jogged away. He combed his hair with his fingers a bit.
'Why do I always think about her? She doesn't matter to me! None of
the girls I've gone
out with matter to me. Well, maybe everyone except Tomoyo. She's always
cared about
me, so I care about her. She cares about me so much, that she even
pretended to be going
out with me when I asked her to. I told everyone that I was going to
go out with
every girl in the school, and that had to include Tomoyo. If
we didn't pretend to
be girlfriend and boyfriend, everyone would start questioning me. Thank
god Tomoyo
agreed to help me out. I mean, I could never go out with her. She's
like one of my sisters
to me. Tomoyo....what would I do without her?' Syaoran let out a sigh.
'Well, let me find
her and get the latest gossip around the school.' he thought. He walked
into the direction
Sakura had pointed to and soon enough, he found Tomoyo.
"Hi, Syaoran!" Tomoyo said happily.
"Hey, Tomoyo." Syaoran said. Tomoyo smiled at him.
"Is there something you want to ask me?" she asked.
"Tomoyo, you know me like an open book." he said, grinning. Tomoyo giggled.
"Well, what is it that you want to know?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well, I was just wondering. I thought maybe you'd know. Do you know
if Sakura is
going out with anyone like, say, David?" Syaoran asked. Tomoyo smiled.
"No. She isn't. As far as I know, she's still single." Tomoyo said.
"Okay. Thanks, Tomoyo." he said. Tomoyo grinned and began to giggle.
A confused
look crossed Syaoran's face. "What's so funny?" he asked.
"You like Sakura. I know you do." Tomoyo said, smiling. Syaoran blushed a bit.
"No, I don't!!" Syaoran said.
"Yes, you do." Tomoyo said in a sing-song voice.
"No, I don't!" he retorted. Before Tomoyo could say anything else, he
walked away. Just
when he walked away, the bell rang. Syaoran went to the rest of his
classes, went to
soccer practice after school, saw Carla for a while and went home.
That night, he had
trouble getting to sleep. He had ten million things running through
his head, but soon
enough, he fell asleep.
// The next day \\
Syaoran went to class and saw Carla. She smiled at him and went to give
him a hug, but
Syaoran held her away.
"What's wrong?" she asked worriedly.
"Carla, I'm sorry to have to say this, but we can't be together anymore."
Syaoran said.
Carla broke down and cried. "Sorry." he said. A tear slipped from Carla's
eye. She finally
ran away to the girl's bathroom. Syaoran let out a sigh. He walked
towards his seat and
was about to sit down when he saw Sakura walk into the room. Sakura
sat down in her
seat and took out her notebook. Syaoran coolly walked towards her.
She leaned against
her desk.
"Hey, Sakura." he said.
"Hi, Syaoran." Sakura said.
"You know, I've had my eye on you for a while," he began. Sakura raised
an eyebrow.
"And I couldn't help noticing that you look so much like an angel that
fell from heaven
above." Syaoran said, smiling warmly at her. Sakura glanced at her
notebook, then back
at Syaoran. She began to blush a bit.
"Thanks." Sakura said shyly.
"I was wondering, Sakura, would you ever want to go out with someone like me?"
Sakura's face suddenly lit up.
"Syaoran! I'd love to go out with you!!" Sakura said happily. She stood
up and hugged
him. "I love you, Syaoran!!" she said. Sakura then looked into his
eyes and slowly leaned
in. Just when their lips were about to meet, Syaoran opened his eyes.
He sat up in bed
and looked around him. Syaoran let out a sigh.
"Damn. It was all just a dream." Syaoran said with frustration. "That's
it. I have to break
up with Carla and go out with Sakura, tomorrow....err....I mean....today."
he said. It was
7:00 AM and he had 45 minutes to get ready. He got in his car and drove
to school
quickly. When he reached the entrance, he saw Carla standing there
with some friends.
'Come on, Syaoran. You have to break up with her now.' he thought to
himself. He
walked towards Carla. He cleared his throat, trying to get Carla's
attention. Carla turned
and smiled when she saw him.
"Carla, I need to talk to you." Syaoran said. A worried look crossed
Carla's face. Syaoran
took Carla away from the entrance, heading towards a more secluded
area. Carla looked
at him worriedly.
"Syaoran, what's wrong?" Carla asked.
"Carla, I don't know how to tell you this without hurting you." he began.
"What? Without hurting me? What are you talking about?" she asked anxiously.
"Carla," Syaoran paused for a moment. "We can't be together anymore."
he said. Tears
suddenly welled up in Carla's eyes.
"Why?" she asked in a whispery tone.
"We just can't. I don't...I don't have the same feelings for you anymore."
he said. A tear
slid down Carla's eye. "Goodbye." he said. With that, he walked away
towards the back
of the school, leaving a tearful Carla standing alone.
After Syaoran walked away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
'Damn. Girls are so emotional.' he thought to himself. 'Now, I'm free
to ask Sakura out.
And I know that it'll be easy. I'll have her in a second. Soon, she'll
be mine, and I can
break her heart.' As he walked closer towards the classroom, his heart
began to beat
faster. 'It's a good thing that Sakura's not going out with anyone,
or else that would
completely ruin my plan to go out with every girl in the school!' he
thought. Syaoran was
now only a step away from the classroom. He took a deep breath and
walked into the
classroom. Suddenly, a worried look appeared on his face. Sakura was
there sitting on
her desk, and David was with her, holding her hands. He began to get
nervous.
'No.....no...please. They can't be together.' Syaoran thought to himself.
He watched them
more to see what would happen next. He didn't want to jump to conclusions
and make a
fool out of himself. Sakura was seen giggling with David. They were
still holding hands,
smiling sweetly at each other. Then, Syaoran's hand curled up into
a tight fist. David and
Sakura were getting closer to each other. They had their arms wrapped
around each
other. Soon, David placed a finger just underneath Sakura's chin, lifted
her head up a bit
and leaned in, kissing Sakura's lips. Suddenly, Chiharu came up to
Syaoran and smiled.
"Syaoran! Did you know? Sakura and David are going out with each other
now!" Chiharu
said excitedly. "Isn't that great?"
Syaoran frowned a bit.
"Yeah......just great."
