King of Hearts- Chapter 6
By: Sapphie

Syaoran gasped. Suddenly, he felt happy. This was his chance to go out
with her, but he
thought again. Sakura broke up with David and she's heartbroken, so
he couldn't ask her
now. He'd get shot down in two seconds flat.
"Oh, I'm.....sorry to hear that, Sakura." he said somewhat solemnly.
Sakura didn't look at
him. She just sat there, staring at her desk and nodded her head at
Syaoran's comment.
He placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Cheer up." Not knowing
what else to do,
he removed his hand from her should and went back to his desk. After
Syaoran left, she
looked at him. A small smile slipped onto her lips.
"Thank you, Syaoran." Sakura whispered to herself.
Throughout the class, Syaoran couldn't help but look back at Sakura.
She really looked
down. Syaoran frowned a bit. He had never seen Sakura this way before.
She was always
happy and cheerful, but today, she was the complete opposite. Tomoyo
noticed how
Syaoran would look back at Sakura all the time. She smiled and gave
Syaoran a little
poke in the side with her pencil. Syaoran turned around.
"What?" Syaoran whispered. Tomoyo gave him a sly smile.
"You're so cute when you're worried." she said, still smiling. Syaoran blushed a bit.
"Wh...what are you talking about?" Syaoran asked innocently. Tomoyo
couldn't help but
giggle.
"You really care about Sakura, don't you?" Tomoyo said while trying
to not giggle.
Syaoran blushed a bit more.
"No. That's not it." Syaoran blurted out. Tomoyo lifted an eyebrow in curiousity.
"Then what is it?" she asked slyly. Syaoran was racing around
in his mind for an
answer. Just when he was about to give her a comeback, the bell rang.
"Bell rang. It's lunch now and I have soccer practice today. I'll see
you later. Bye,
Tomoyo." he said. Without hesitation, he got up from his seat and walked
out the door,
escaping from Tomoyo's interrogation. Tomoyo collected her books and
got up from her
seat. Smiling to herself, she thought,
'Oh, Syaoran. Poor, Syaoran. Why won't you admit that you like Sakura?'
// During lunch \\
Syaoran was in the boy's locker room, changing into some fresh clean
clothes. Glancing
at his watch, he saw he had 30 minutes of lunch (AN: Lunch is an hour
long. I wish it was
that long at my school. -_-; ) After leaving the locker room, he decided
to go look for
Sakura. After wandering around for a while, he found Sakura sitting
by herself
underneath a cherry blossom tree. He took a deep breath and slowly
approached her.
When he was close to her, he cleared his throat a bit.
"Hey, Sakura." he said, casually. Sakura looked up at him and gave him a small smile.
"Hi, Syaoran." she said.
"Mind if I sit down?" he asked. She shook her head.
"No, not at all. Have a seat." Sakura said. Syaoran took a seat next
to Sakura. They sat
there quietly for a while. Syaoran cleared his throat a bit again.
"Uhh...I'm sorry about what happened." he began.
"It's okay. It happens." Sakura said. There was an uneasy silence surrounding
them.
"Can I ask you a question?" she asked, breaking the silence.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Doesn't it hurt you when you break up with a girlfriend?" she questioned.
Syaoran was
caught completely off gaurd. He never expected Sakura to ask that question.
"Well, if you really love someone and they leave you, then of course
it will hurt."
Syaoran replied cooly.
"But does it hurt you when you and a girlfriend break up?" she
asked. Syaoran
blushed a bit.
"I'll be honest with you. It does hurt me. Knowing that the girl is
hurt makes me feel
hurt." he replied. Sakura smiled.
"Really?"
"Yes. Really." he said. "Just forget about him for now. If he comes
back to you, then you
two were meant to be, but if he never comes back, then he was never
really worth your
time." Syaoran advised. Sakura smiled more.
"Thanks for cheering me up, Syaoran." Sakura said sweetly. Syaoran blushed a bit.
"No problem." he said. Sakura gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"You're the best, Syaoran." With that, she stood up. "I gotta
go to the library now, so I'll
see you later." she said, before leaving. Syaoran stood up.
"Okay. I'll see you later." he said.
"Thanks again." she said. She gave him a smile before finally leaving.
After she was fully
out of view, Syaoran smiled to himself.
"Well....someone looks very happy today." Syaoran heard a voice say.
He turned around,
already knowing it was Tomoyo.
"Gee, thanks for the 'Hello.'" Syaoran said sarcastically. Tomoyo giggled.
"What's so
funny?" he asked in curiousity.
"Well, I was watching you and Sakura from afar and I couldn't help but
notice how many
times you blushed when Sakura talked to you." Tomoyo said.
"And..? What is that supposed to mean?" he asked somewhat defensively.
"Oh, come on, Syaoran. It is sooo obvious that you like her."
Tomoyo said, placing
her hands on her hips.
"Like I've said a million times, I don't like Sakura." Syaoran
said. Tomoyo sighed and
shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay. I give up. I guess you're right." Tomoyo said in a tone of defeat.
Soon, the bell
rang, ending the lunch period. "Well, I gotta go to class now, so I'll
see you later."
"Okay. Bye." he said.
"Bye, Syaoran." she shouted over her shoulder.
// Later that day \\
After Syaoran drove home, he went into his room and started to do some
homework.
However, no matter how hard he tried to concentrate on his homework,
he couldn't help
but think about Sakura.
'It's a miracle. Sakura is not dating anymore. She's now mine for the
taking.' he thought
to himself. 'I can't let her get away.'
// The next day \\
Syaoran went to class that morning, feeling good about himself. As he
walked into the
room, he saw Sakura there.
"Good morning, Sakura." he greeted as he went to his seat.
"Good morning, Syaoran." she said with a smile.
"How are you?"
"I'm doing fine." Sakura said sweetly. Syaoran smiled.
"That's good to hear." he said. "You seem very happy today." Sakura nodded her head.
"Yeah. I'm a lot happier than yesterday." she said as her face lit up.
"That's great." Syaoran responded. Almost as if on cue, the bell rang.
"I'll talk to you
later." he said, taking his seat.
"Okay." she replied.
(AN: Sorry, but I'm gonna fast foward to lunch. Sorry if this is going fast!)
// Lunch \\
After practice, Syaoran walked around the school's "backyard." There
were kids having
picnic lunches, playing frisbee or volleyball, or just lying in the
lush grass under the high
noon sun. He decided to take a seat under a nearby tree. Soon, John
walked by. After
seeing Syaoran, he decided to stop and say hi to him.
"Hey, Syaoran!" John greeted.
"Hey John! What's up? Haven't seen you in a while." Syaoran said.
"I know. You haven't been around much either." he replied.
"Yeah, I know. Well, what can we do? We're both busy people." Syaoran
stated. John
smiled.
"You got that right." he retorted. Syaoran just smiled. "So, how's that
thing with Sakura
going? Haven't heard about that recently."
Syaoran shrugged.
"I don't know. It's going okay, I guess." he said nonchalantly.
"What is that supposed to mean?" John asked.
"Well, she had a boyfriend. Now they're broken up. And so far,
she doesn't have a
new boyfriend." Syaoran informed.
"Wow. Then you better go after her soon. I mean, she is a very good-looking
girl. She can
get any guy she wants in a snap."
"I know. That's why why I'm planning to ask her out after school. I'm
sure she'll say yes.
I mean, I spent half of lunch talking to her and comforting her yesterday.
After that, why
wouldn't she want to go out with me?"
"Ooh. Smooth move. I see Li Syaoran still has his way with the ladies."
John said
suavely. Syaoran smiled and slowly shook his head.
"Don't worry. I'll be going out with Sakura in no time." Syaoran said confidently.
"I bet you will." John said with a smirk. "Well, I gotta go now. Good luck with Sakura."
Syaoran smirked.
"I don't need luck." he said. John raised an eyebrow, but didn't question him.
"Okay, then. Tell me what happens with you and Sakura tomorrow." John said as he left.
"Okay." Syaoran said. After John left, Syaoran got up and began walking
around. He
soon bumped into someone he hadn't seen in a while.
"Hey Syaoran!" Tomoyo said.
"Hey, Tomoyo! Haven't seen you in a bit." he said as he wrapped her in a hug.
"I know. I've been busy. I've been finding out the lastest gossip." she said.
"You mind filling me in?" Syaoran asked with a smile. Tomoyo smiled.
"Of course." she said. She linked her arm with his and began walking
towards the
entrance of the school. "Okay. This is what's been happening lately.
Well, this girl who's
a sophomore got into a fight with this little freshmen. They beat the
crap out of each
other. They both got a week of detention. Then, there was this girl
who said tha-"
"Okay. Let me be more specific." Syaoran said, cutting Tomoyo off. "Tell
me about the
latest hook-ups and break-ups." Tomoyo smirked.
"I should've known you'd ask me that." she said. "Okay. Well, let's
see. Umm...oohh.
This guy, Jake, who's a junior, is going out with this little freshman
girl named Julie. Oh,
and Sarah broke up with Dan. She found someone better than him. And...oh
yeah, Mike
cheated on his girlfriend, Stacey, with a freshman named Allison, who's
a total slut."
"That's typical. Have there been any hook-ups or break-ups between friends
of ours?"
Syaoran asked.
"Well, Kerri broke up with Shawn. She couldn't stand that little mole on his chin."
"Of course. Nothing is ever good enough for Kerri." he said. Tomoyo
giggled, knowing
that his comment was true. "Anyone else that we know have something?"
he asked one
last time. Tomoyo thought for a moment.
"Oh my god. I almost completely forgot!" Tomoyo said after having her epiphany.
"What? What is it?" Syaoran asked in curiousity.
"Sakura is going out with this guy named Blake now. Isn't that great?"
Syaoran's spirit dampened. He was crushed.
Sarcastically, he said, "Yeah...great. Just great."
