A/N: OMG!!!!!! I just got back from a dance and am going to get five
buckies for slow dancing with my friend...sigh, he is okay but it was embarrasing,
BUT IT WAS ONLY FOR 5 SECONDS AND THE MONEY'S WORTH IT! Hee hee! Total
ultra double cool with knobs that I got so many reviews!!!!!!!! So here
is the next chapter!!! Oh, all of you waiting for the long gone next chapter
of Found You Again, don't worry, it's coming, and as for Ask Me Out, Stranger!
I have to experience the Christmas dance before I write it....gomen...but
I am totally sure it will have something like what happened to me on this
dance!!! Whew!!!!! That was ultra freaky, and yet so double cool with knobs!
Disclaimer: Sadly, my CCS pie does not belong to me, alas, I TOOK A
SLICE!!! FORGIVE!!!!!! DON'T BE A HATER!!! (no j/k!!!)
Dear Nathan if you're reading this.....wasn't that dance so
embarrasing? Oh well did you get your 5 doru from Mark yet???
I look up, forcing my nose to exhale. What I saw I didn't expect
to see, for what was on my cheek wasn't the lips I wanted it to be, but
a soft, welcoming hand. I wince at the touch, though really it soothes
me.
"What are you doing in here? Did I startle you?"
What is Syaoran doing under the bleachers? Maybe someone will come
in and they'll make out. I won't look, I promise, if someone comes in.
Oversexed adolescents don't give much of a good impression.
"Sorry if I surprised you, but I hang here too. Not many people want
to go under the bleachers 'coz they don't want roaches in their clothes....'sides,
I know the Deejay. He's cool."
Who is he talking to? It must be himself, I think, because the man
who had ignored me once before was now talking...openly...to me? He had
said my name, after all. But I still had that floating question: You
trying to help me or you trying to kill me?
"What...are...you doing here?"
Did I have to say that? The words sound choked and dead husky
in a special sort of way. He smiles, though, taking the whole thing seriously.
"I'm sorry I teased you before."
Did he just say what I thought he said? I'm sorry I teased you
before. What is that supposed to mean! Syaoran is supposed to hate me,
everyone is supposed to hate me, I am the only person who is forbidden
to love.
But is all that changing now?
I don't answer. I just stare at him like he is the loco one.
"Do..do you mean it?"
His soft pale skin and his dreamy amber eyes want me to reach up and
kiss him even more. I resist the urge, but I do lean forward a bit.
Wonderful. Wonderful Syaoran. Take me home. I want to love you
like I have never loved before. Take me into you and soothe me from the
death and despair of this world. Be my hero...my knight in a green checked
collared shirt and baggy brown pants.
And then he is about to say something. The words are held in his mouth,
locked there, trying to force there way out. But they can't. Because the
bleacher door opens again and there is Tomoyo.
She is more of the sexy lavender goddess she was. Draped in
an ancient purple lace petticoat and a fancy lilac shawl with a siwrly
fringe, her dark sweepy hair cascading over lengths of pale white Snow
White skin, she patters in with her 5-inch platform sandals.
My feet tense under my Skechers sneakers. It's too overwhelming
for me as I watch her phreak with the deejay under the fake alluminum stars
in on the gymnasium walls. My jeans feel tigther than normal and my Quiksilver
jacket makes me perspire like heck though it's freezing in here. I want
to cry and be free.
But can I? No. I am not a goddess. I am not an angel. I am a
stupid swotty girl who hides behind the shadows of a love goddess while
her slaves-the whole world below me-bows before her.
With a dry and raspy voice I turn to Syaoran. "I wish you could
help me," I mouth.
"But I can," He answers, and soft angel-like fingers brush away my
hair.
And this time I know he is not lying.

A/N: Hee hee...I luvvy this chapter. It was nice. I'm trying to give
it a Francesca Lia Block-y kind of sense. I like her style of writing and
her stories. They are deep and double cool, with knobs.
Remember-no reviews come no chapters!!!
