Chapter 7: On the edge
"Syaoran! Syaoran!"
Syaoran cringed, upon hearing Sakura's voice. He had been trying to avoid her the whole day. And yet, she caught up with him. He spun around, amber eyes glazing.
"Hi! Ready?" Sakura came up to him, her green pools sparkling. Her smile vanished instantly upon seeing Syaoran's irate face. "What's. . . the matter?"
Syaoran tried to thrust away the thought that Sakura looked ravishing. She wore a pale yellow coat, with a matching colour skirt, and a lovely red top inside.
He averted his eyes away, and decided on staring at the pathment instead.
"Look Sakura," His voice strong and harsh, "I have to admit that being with you. . .is not as pleasant as it seems."
Upon hearing his words, Sakura's heartbeat quickened. Was he calling it off? Was this the end? Is this. . .success?
Syaoran shuffled his feet, kicking some scattered leaves across the sidewalk. The hand phone incident was the last straw. This was just like any other breakups. . . why was he being so tentative about it?
"Sakura. You're perky and energetic. But I don't think we'll work out. Everything. . .has been. . .well. . ." Syaoran hovered for a moment. "A nightmare."
Sakura almost choked on laughter and disappointment.
Syaoran had been storing in all his frustrations for the past few days, this was the worst girl he had ever met, and now. . .he was actually breaking up with her! Why was he feeling so confused?
"You're a great girl, just that you have too much expectations of me. Which I can't fulfill and I feel so. . .irritated." Syaoran was slowly venting out his frustrations. "Do you get it Sakura? First you make me embarrassed in the movie theatre, second, I have to accompany you to the girls' toilet, third, you make me wear the stupid t-shirt, fourth, you make me hold a pantie, fifth, you backfire my plan. . ." Syaoran stopped abruptly. Oops. . .did he leak out anything?
Sakura listened on intently.
"And then you broadcast to the whole school a nickname for me, you get me into trouble in class, embarrassing me for so many times! You can't treat a guy like this!"
A chilling breeze blew by.
"I got jeered by my classmates, had to stand everyone sniggering at me. . .I have an image to keep! And you just happily come along and spoil it all!"
The leaves rustled in the wind.
"I'm just so tired. . .ARGH!" Syaoran burst out.
An awkward silence followed.
Sakura cleared her throat, wanting to speak.
Syaoran cut her off, using the opportunity as an outlet for his anger, "AND, you ruined my reputation! What was with the wedding? The WHOLE school is buzzing about us! The gossip is spreading faster than bushfire in Australia! Did you HAVE to bring me to a manicure? How could that idea ever cross your mind, Sakura? A boy? In a manicure? Oh, how APPRIOPRIATE." Syaoran burst out everything in one breath.
Sakura's emotions immediately veered from disappointment to anger. She drew her eyebrows into a tight frown, saying, "Excuse me? Li Syaoran, YOU agreed to all those things. Has it ever occurred to you? You never refused me, has THAT ever crossed your mind?"
"Yeah well, that's because I had a reason to!" Syaoran said, anger like small bolts of lightning flashing in his flaming amber eyes. "And YOU went to push it TOO FAR!"
A leaf gently floated down, like a boat, and settled down on the gravel.
Sakura felt angry heat seeping into her face. "How can you accuse me like that? All I did was just push you a little! And you gave in! Now you're blaming me for your state? Oh yeah, what about the wedding? I NEVER. SAID. ANYTHING. ABOUT. MARRYING. YOU!"
Syaoran was breathing heavily, his face scrunched up in anger, "Well, YOU wanted to drag me to a bridal shop! Are you mad? Who would want to marry so soon?"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "My dear. You didn't even give me a chance to explain. You slammed the receiver down halfway through!"
"I was using a hand phone. There is no receiver."
"Okay, you SHUT THE PHONE UP."
"How was I supposed to shut you up then? You kept on rattling on and on. Gosh, how irritating can you be. . .and, you called me in the middle of a lesson! Can't you be more considerate?"
Sakura felt blood rushing to her face. "How was I to know you were having lessons? Do you expect me to be psychic? Our timetables are different! Can't you use your brains?"
"As if you have one. . ." Syaoran muttered. He was cooling down now. However, Sakura was just getting worked up. . .
"You think you're so good looking do you? Getting ALL the girls you want, ALL types, ALL kinds," Sakura stepped forwards, raising a finger, lunging it at Syaoran's chest, poking him, "Dumping them, using them, pushing them where ever you want,"
Syaoran glanced down at Sakura's finger. He gulped. "Calm down!"
Sakura surged forwards, "Calm down? How do YOU expect me to do that? When YOU started everything? You could have just broken up with me! Why didn't you do that? Huh? Huh?"
Syaoran backed backwards, "I. . .I. . ." No, he couldn't reveal it now. He could never reveal it. . .
"Oh, so, cat's got your tongue?" Sakura was heating up.
Sakura's face was so red with anger, she looked exactly like a cherry. Suddenly, Syaoran burst out in laughter.
Sakura stopped. "What's so funny?"
"Hahahaha, nothing, haha nothing." Syaoran clutched his stomach, roaring away.
"OH yeah? I don't think so. . ." Sakura moved forwards, but, her foot tripped over a little stone, piecing fate together.
(A/n: Wahahahahaha, you should know what happens next. . ."
"Wha." Sakura stopped talking suddenly, as she felt herself losing balance, and falling towards Syaoran. . .
Syaoran reached forwards to catch Sakura, but. . .
Sakura fell on him. She suddenly found his warm arms wrapped around her protectively. She found her face almost touching his. She found her body on top of his muscular one. She found herself lost in those amber eyes. . .Her anger evaporated instantly, like it had never been there before. . .
Syaoran found his arms around Sakura. He inhaled in that fragrant smell of cherry blossoms, he could feel her breathing, their bodies were so close. . .
Syaoran looked deep into Sakura's green emerald eyes. She was suddenly so beautiful. His eyes strayed to her lips. Those soft lips, he yearned so much to kiss.
Sakura's heart raced. Was Syaoran going to kiss her? Now? He looked so handsome, with his chestnut hair all ruffled. . .She felt so secure in his arms, like nothing could come between them. . .
WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY DOING?
Sakura squeaked, pulling away suddenly, standing up, and brushing specks of dirt off from her skirt.
Syaoran followed, awkwardly getting up.
"Sorry." Sakura said in a small voice, looking down. "I have to go now. It's rather late. See you tomorrow at school." And she sprinted off, her skirt flapping in the wind.
Syaoran stared at the small silhouette of Sakura, running down the street, until it disappeared over the horizon.
He was not going to give up yet.
