in!! I never expected this many reviews!! ^_^ This makes me soooooooo happy!!! I'm
speechless! *sniff sniff* Well, lemme summarize what's happened so far. Oh yeah, and I
want to apologize for making the characters OOC ( out of character ). I am fully aware of
that, but the reason I am making everyone OOC is so that the story flows. And also, I
think it's fun to give them a different type of personality. I mean, it's not everyday you
see Syaoran acting so self-centered. ^^;; Heehee. So, sorry if this OOC-ness bothers
anyone. Please bear with me. I kind of have to make them OOC in order to make the
story work, know what I mean? Well, enough talk...onto the summary.
-----------
Summary:
Okay. Here's what's happened so far. Syaoran is the hottest guy in Ling
Highschool and
all the girls love him. At first, he was a nice guy, but soon, he got
all wrapped up in his
ego and became determined to go out with EVERY girl in Ling Highschool,
but along the
way, he breaks their hearts. Then one day, Sakura comes to Ling Highschool.
Finding out
about his horrible actions, she decides to turn the tables. She joins
forces with Tomoyo,
who happens to be Syaoran's best friend. Though it may seem that Tomoyo
is
backstabbing Syaoran, she isn't really doing anything bad. She is trying
to teach him a
lesson...the hard way. She never liked the fact that Syaoran was breaking
so many hearts
and in the past, she's tried to stop him, but he would never listen,
which is why she joins
Sakura in trying to break Syaoran's heart. In the last chapter, Syaoran
broke up with
Carla, his previous girlfriend, in hopes that he could go out with
Sakura. Then, just when
he thinks nothing can go wrong, everything comes crashing down. Syaoran
finds out that
Sakura is no longer single. She is now going out with David, and Syaoran
is secretly
devastated. Now....on with the story!

Syaoran walked over to his desk and sat down. Slouching in his chair,
he crossed his
arms and stared blankly at his desk.
"Syaoran?" he heard someone say.
"What?" he asked, not bothering to see who it was. And anyway, he already
knew it was
Tomoyo. He could recognize her voice anywhere.
"You look upset. Is something wrong?" Tomoyo asked.
"It's nothing." he said. Tomoyo looked at him. This was not like him.
He's never acted
this way before. She was beginning to get worried.
"Are you sure?" she asked again. Syaoran let out a frustrated sigh.
"It's nothing, Tomoyo." he said firmly. Tomoyo frowned a bit.
"Okay, then." Tomoyo said. She sat down in her seat, but never took
her eyes away from
Syaoran. It was so weird for him to act this way.
'I have to tell Sakura about this soon.' Tomoyo thought to herself.
// At lunch \\
Sakura was at her locker, putting her books away. Suddenly, she felt
two strong arms
wrap around her waist. She turned around to see David, smiling at her.
"Well, hey there!" Sakura said, smiling at him.
"Hey, Sakura." he said. He leaned in and gave her a kiss. "Will I see
you after school?"
he asked.
"Of course. Meet me right here." Sakura said.
"Okay. I'm going to go to football practice now. See ya later, babe."
he said. He gave her
a quick kiss goodbye and headed for practice. Then, right after he
left, Tomoyo came.
"Hey, Tomoyo!" Sakura said. Tomoyo smiled at Sakura, but it quickly
disappeared. "Is
something wrong?" Sakura immediately asked.
"Yeah," Tomoyo said. "I'm worried about Syaoran."
"Why? What happened?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Well, this morning, Syaoran saw you and David together, and that upset
him." Tomoyo
said.
"Well, isn't that what's supposed to happen?" Sakura asked.
"Well....yeah, but.....it's just that.....I've never seen him act this
way before. He seems to
be really hurt by all this." Tomoyo said with concern in her voice.
"I'm sorry, Tomoyo, but you're gonna have to watch him go through it.
You see, the
reason he's getting so angry is because he has feelings for me and
it angers him to see me
with another guy. Also, the fact that I'm going out with David prevents
Syaoran from
accomplishing his goal, which he is determined to reach. He doesn't
know it, but slowly,
his heart is being broken." Sakura explained. Tomoyo let out a sigh.
"I guess so." Tomoyo said plainly. "But I just want you to know that
I do want him
to learn his lesson, but it hurts me to see him get hurt." she said
sadly. Sakura frowned a
bit.
"Sorry, Tomoyo. I don't mean to hurt him so badly, but if this is what
it takes to make
him see how much he hurts these girls, then this is what I'll do. I
hope you understand."
Sakura said.
"I understand you." Tomoyo said. Sakura smiled encouragingly at her.
"You are such a good friend, Tomoyo. I'm lucky to have a friend like
you. Especially
Syaoran. He's so lucky to have a great friend like you who sticks up
for him and cares
about him. Cheer up, Tomoyo. I only have the best of intentions." Sakura
said. Tomoyo
smiled.
"Okay." Tomoyo said. "Thanks for cheering me up." Tomoyo said. Sakura smiled.
"Come on, Tomoyo. Let's go for a walk." Sakura said. Linking their arms
together, they
headed out the door and took a walk in the warm weather.
// Elsewhere...\\
Syaoran walked around the back of the school, feeling miserable. He
began to think to
himself.
'Why did this happen? How could it happen? Just yesterday, Sakura was
single and DID
NOT have a boyfriend, and suddenly, she does? Why didn't I go out with
her when I had
the chance? Not that I care about her or anything, I just would've
been able to
accomplish my goal. Damn it!! Just when I thought I would be taking
a step forward, I
took two steps backwards! Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT! Sakura is the
last girl I have to
go out with, but if she has a boyfriend, it'll be nearly impossible
to complete my goal.'
Syaoran let out a sigh.
"Syaoran!!" he heard someone call out. He turned around to see who it was. It was John.
"Hey, John." Syaoran said.
"Hey. Sorry, man." John said.
"Sorry for what?" Syaoran asked.
"Didn't you know? Sakura and David are-"
"Yeah, yeah. I know. They're going out." Syaoran said with bitterness.
"What are you gonna do now? Are you gonna break them up or something?"
Syaoran shrugged.
"I dunno. I guess I'll wait 'til they break up." Syaoran said nonchalantly.
"What? Are you crazy? What if they never break up?" John asked. Syaoran
shrugged
again.
"I don't know. I really don't see a solution to this problem right now."
Syaoran said
blandly.
"Oh come on, man. This is not the Li Syaoran I know. The Li Syaoran
I know would take
matters into his own hands. He would find a way to go out with Sakura.
Then, the whole
school would know about how you went out with every girl in the school,
and they'd give
you a really cool name that everyone would know you by. Isn't that
what you always
wanted?"
"Yeah. That's what I wanted. To be the most popular guy in Ling High
School, to go out
with every girl in Ling High School and be known as the 'King of Hearts.'
It all looked so
great, until now. Now, everything is just going downhill." Syaoran
said. It was clear that
he was depressed by this situation.
"Syaoran. You've been able to get any girl you wanted, and you
still can. You just
have a little setback, but if you really try, you'll definitely be
able to go out with that
Sakura chick and be called 'King of Hearts.' If I had a name like that
and a reputation
like yours, I'd feel like I was on Cloud Nine!" John said with enthusiasm.
Syaoran
chuckled a bit.
"Yeah. I know what you mean. Even without that title, I did feel like
I was on Cloud
Nine." he agreed.
"See what I mean? And, you can still feel that way. Just do whatever
you have to do.
Sakura is the last...the only girl you have to go out with before
you reach your goal.
Come on, Syaoran. You know you can do it." John said encouragingly.
Syaoran ran his
fingers through his hair.
"You know what. You're right. Why am I letting some petty little problem
get me down?
I can get her to go out with me." Syaoran boasted.
"Yeah. That's more like it. Now, go think of ways to go out with her.
And, if you ever
need any help, I'm always available." John said.
"Thanks, man. I needed that." Syaoran said.
"Anytime." John said.
"Well, I'm gonna go find out what I can do. See ya later." Syaoran said.
"Later." John said. Syaoran walked away, grinning to himself.
'He's right. Why am I being such a wimp? I can get her to go out with
me. I just know it.
The sooner the better.' Syaoran thought. 'Maybe I should a few days
and see if they break
up. I mean, boyfriend/girlfriend relationships don't last that long
here, so Sakura and
David will probably break up soon.'
// A few days later \\
Syaoran walked towards his classroom, expecting to see Sakura and David
together.
Syaoran let out a hopeful sigh.
'Come on. It's been four days now. They couldn't stay together that
long...could they?
David has to be tired of her. Every girl he's gone out has never lasted
him more than a
week. They have to be breaking up soon.' Syaoran thought to himself.
He got closer and
closer to the classroom. "Well, here goes nothing." Syaoran quietly
said to himself. He
opened the door and looked around the classroom. A flock of girls rushed
to him,
greeting him, hoping that maybe he'd ask one of them out, but he ignored
them. He
looked around the room for Sakura and David. Finally, he spotted Sakura,
but David was
no where to be found. Syaoran began to feel....happy. David was no
where to be found
and Sakura was sitting at her desk by herself. Syaoran decided to find
out what happened.
"Excuse me, girls." he said, moving the flock of girls away. He walked
over to Sakura.
"Hey, Sakura." he said. Sakura looked up at Syaoran.
"Oh. Hi, Syaoran." Sakura said blandly.
"Where's David? Isn't he usually here by now?"
Sakura remained silent for a moment.
"He's not here." Sakura said.
"Why not?" Syaoran asked curiously.
Sakura stayed silent again. She let out a sigh.
"Congratulations. You'll be the first person to know." Sakura said somewhat
sarcastically.
"The first person to know what?" Syaoran asked anxiously. He could feel
his heart begin
to pound faster. Sakura let out another sigh.
"David and I broke up."
