King of Hearts- Chapter 10
By: Sapphie
------------
After the party was over, Syaoran cleaned up a little bit before he
went to his room.
Feeling tired, he threw himself on his bed and let out a deep sigh.
He kept thinking about
what Sakura had said to him. She wanted to tell him something and by
the tone of her
voice, it seemed a bit important. He didn't know what she had to tell
him though. He felt
that he had the worse luck. Just as Sakura was about to tell him something,
she had to
leave. It annoyed him. He figured that fate was trying to punish him
by making him wait.
Also, not knowing what Sakura had to say nagged at him.
Syaoran changed into a comfy tee-shirt and shorts and tried to fall
asleep; it didn't work.
For hours, he would lie there in the darkness, staring at the ceiling,
wondering what
Sakura had to tell him. He tried hard to get her out of his mind, but
he just couldn't. He
tried closing his eyes, but that didn't work either. Nothing worked.
He tossed and turned
for what seemed like all night. Miraculously, he was able to fall asleep.
// In the morning... \\
"Syaoran....Syaoran, wake up!" Meilin said while vigorously shaking
his shoulder.
Syaoran turned in his bed and moaned.
"Come on, Syaoran. It's twelve o'clock already! You have to get up!
You've slept long
enough." Meilin scolded. Syaoran moaned again.
"Who died and made you my mother?" he said with his head buried in his pillow.
"Fine! Be like that!" Meilin said angrily. Giving up on him, she stomped
out of his room.
After Meilin left the room, Syaoran lazily sat up in his bed and looked
at the clock. It
really was twelve o'clock.
"I slept that long?" Syaoran muttered to himself. "I might as well get
up and eat
breakfast...I mean...lunch." He dragged himself out of bed, changed
into some new
clothes and walked into the kitchen. To his surprise, Tomoyo was sitting
at the dinner
table with Meilin, having lunch. On the table, there was a plate with
a sandwich on it,
waiting for him.
"How'd you know I'd get up and come eat?" he asked Meilin.
"I'm your cousin. I know everything about you, Syaoran." she simply
stated. Syaoran
smiled and made his way towards the table. He gave Tomoyo a smirk.
"You knew I'd be getting up too, didn't you?" he asked Tomoyo. All she
did was smile
and giggle. He already knew the answer. He sat down in a chair and
ate his sandwich.
There was a silence between the three of them while they ate. Meilin
glanced at Tomoyo
and Syaoran, hoping that one of them would start a conversation. She
swallowed her food
and sipped her drink.
"So," Meilin began. "How did the party go last night?"
Syaoran sighed.
"It was okay." he replied.
"What do you mean it was okay? It was great!!" Tomoyo said cheerfully.
"It might've been great for you, but not great for me." Syaoran said.
Meilin and Tomoyo
immediately focused their attention on him.
"Why? What happened? Did your plan to get Sakura work?" Meilin asked.
"I guess so." he said gloomily.
"What do you mean 'you guess so'? Did it work or not?" Meilin asked with frustration.
"Sort of."
"Well...how did it 'sort of ' work?" Tomoyo asked, anxious to find out what happened.
"Last night, Sakura told me that she broke up with her boyfriend."
"Oh my god!! Really? That's great!!" Meilin exclaimed.
"Then how come you don't look so happy?" Tomoyo asked.
"She told me that she broke up with her boyfriend. She also told me
that she had
something else to tell me, but right when she was about to tell me,
her cell phone rang and
she had to leave suddenly."
"Do you know what she wanted to say?" Meilin asked.
"No. I don't know what she was gonna say. She's not in Tomoeda this
weekend, so, I
have to wait 'til I see her in school on Monday to find out."
"Damn. That sucks." Meilin said.
"Tell me about it." Syaoran said, letting out a sigh.
"Don't worry, Syaoran. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough." Tomoyo
said in an effort
to comfort him. "Maybe she wanted to tell you that she likes you and
wants to go out with
you." she suggested.
"Yeah! Tomoyo's right. Maybe that's what she wanted to tell you. I mean,
why would
she tell you that she broke up with her boyfriend? It's obvious that
she told you so she
could tell you that she wants to go out with you instead." Meilin said
happily.
Syaoran let out a small smile.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Syaoran said in a more confident tone.
"Thanks guys. I
really needed that."
"No problem." Meilin said proudly. "That's what I'm here for!"
"And me too!!" Tomoyo said while glaring at Meilin.
Syaoran chuckled.
"Girls...they're so weird." he said as he got up from his seat.
"Hey!! We heard that!!" Tomoyo and Meilin said simultaneously. Syaoran
just laughed,
shook his head and walked away.
'Wow. This is great! Maybe Sakura wanted to tell me that she dumped
Blake for me!'
Syaoran thought as he walked to his room. Then, when he opened the
door, his phone
rang. He walked into his room and answered his phone.
"Hello?" he said upon answering the phone.
"Hi, Syaoran!!" a female voice said.
"Hey, Suki." Syaoran said.
"Do you wanna go out somewhere today?" she asked.
"Sure. Where do you wanna go?"
"How about the mall?" she suggested. Syaoran rolled his eyes.
'Girls...they always want to go to the mall.' he thought.
"Sure. We can go to the mall." Syaoran finally said.
"Great! When and where do you wanna meet?" Suki asked. Syaoran glanced
at his clock.
It was 12:45 p.m..
"How about I pick you up at your house in 15 minutes?" he suggested.
"Sure. That's fine." she said, obviously happy.
"Okay. See you then, babe." he said.
"Bye." she said at last, hanging up the phone. Syaoran put the phone
back on the receiver
and grabbed his car keys. He found Meilin and Tomoyo in the kitchen.
"Girls, I'm going out with Suki. I'll see you later." he said, heading towards the garage.
"Bye, Syaoran!" they said in unison.
// Fast-forward-->At the mall... \\
Syaoran and Suki walked through the mall, holding hands. Suki was clearly
enjoy this
moment while Syaoran only pretended to be having a good time. Syaoran's
mind was
drifting towards a certain someone, but Suki interrupted his thoughts.
"Syaoran. You're awfully quiet. Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong." he answered. "I'm just thinking."
"About what?" she asked.
"About how wonderful it feels when I'm with you." he said gallantly.
"Awww, Syaoran!! You're so sweet!!" She gave him a kiss
on the cheek. He just smiled
at her.
"So, you wanna get something to eat? Or did you already have lunch?" he asked.
"I wanna get something to eat. I'm kinda hungry." she replied.
"Okay. I'll find us a table and you get your lunch." he said.
"Okay." Suki answered. While Suki headed for the salad bar, Syaoran
went to look for a
table. Suddenly, he bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry." Syaoran said immediately.
"It's okay, Syaoran." a male voice said. Syaoran looked up to find that
he bumped into
John.
"Oh...hey, John! Haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah. I know." he said. "So, who's that hot chick you're with?" John asked.
"Oh. That's my new girlfriend." he said, nodding his head towards Suki,
who was still at
the salad bar.
"Sweet. So you've already gone out with Sakura?"
"No. Not yet. My new girlfriends is a plan to make Sakura jealous of
her, making Sakura
want to go out with me."
"Wow. Great plan! I would've never thought of that." John said. "Is it working?"
Syaoran sighed.
"I think so. Sakura told me that she broke up with Blake. She had o
tell me something
else, but she couldn't tell me because she had to leave. Hopefully,
she wanted to go out
with me."
"Sweet."
"Yeah." Syaoran said nonchalantly.
"You know, you gotta go out with Sakura soon. There's gossip going around
about you
losing your touch."
A shocked expression crossed Syaoran's face.
"Are you serious??"
"Hell yeah, I'm serious."
"Damn...I better go out with her soon."
"You know what you should do? Next month is prom, so you should ask
her to be your
date. If you can get Sakura to be your prom date, you won't lose your
status."
"That's a good idea." Syaoran said, flipping the idea back and forth in his head.
"What's a good idea?" Suki asked, wrapping her arm around Syaoran's
while holding a
bowl of salad in the other. Syaoran was startled by her sudden presence.
"Suki! You startled me!!" Syaoran said.
"Sorry!!" she said, kissing him on the cheek. Syaoran let out a sigh.
"It's okay." he said. "Oh, Suki. I want you to meet my friend, John." Suki smiled at John.
"Hi, John." she said.
"Hi, Suki." he said, smiling at her. "Syaoran has said nothing but great
things about you."
he said.
"Well, I should hope so!" Suki said, letting out a small laugh. John
laughed along with
her.
"Well, we better get going." Syaoran said. "I'll talk to you later, John."
"Okay. Talk to you later." John said. "Bye, Suki. It was nice meeting you."
"It was nice meeting you too." she said. With that, they went their separate ways.
// An hour later \\
Syaoran pulled up in front of Suki's house. He got out of the car to
open the door for
Suki. He took her hand and helped her out.
"Here you are, madam. Back home, safe and sound." he said with a British
accent. Suki
giggled as she got out of the car.
"You're so crazy." she said.
"Yeah, crazy for you." he said. She blushed at his comment.
"There you go again, being sweet as always." she said. She linked her
arm with his and
walked to the front steps of her house. When they reached the steps,
they paused to look
each other.
"I'll see you later." Syaoran said.
"Okay." she said. She placed a sweet kiss on his lips. "Bye, Syaoran."
she said while
entering her house.
"Bye, Suki." he said. After she closed the door, he walked back to his
car, started it and
drove home. Along the way, all Syaoran could think about was getting
Sakura to go to
prom with him. All weekend long, he had been hoping that Sakura would
tell him what
he had been wanting to hear. On Sunday night, he drifted off to sleep
with one girl and
one hope on his mind.
