Last dance vows
Chapter two: Tricks and a scary Tomoyo
Through the curtains of Sakura's room, the sun peaked inside, spilling its early morning rays into her eyes. The emerald orbs fluttered open a bit, and she blinked a couple of times and finally got up. She yawned and rubbed her eyes and walked to her closet.
"Stupid uniforms."
The uniforms consisted of a blue and black pleated skirt that went to the girls mid thighs, a black tank top blouse, and an optional blue jacket. They had knee high socks, and you must wear black shoes. Sakura went to take a shower, and then changed into her uniform. She then crimped her shoulder length hair and grabbed her bag.
She said her good-byes to her father and hopped in her black eclipse. As she started the engine, Sakura cranked up the song "Harder to Breath," by Maroon 5. It was then she remembered she needed to pick up Tomoyo.
Sakura sped off towards her cousins' apartment and picked her up. "Hey Tomoyo-Chan."
"Hey Kura." She said.
Today was the day…the day Tomoyo was going to enter Sakura in the prom queen competition. Both drove off to their high school and sighed for another boring day. "I can't wait till we get out of here."
"Same here, but it is still going to be sad…we might not see each other again. You know…different colleges and stuff…"
Sakura stared at her cousin in shock, "Don't even think like that!"
"You never know Sakura! The days are still numbered, and I heard Syaoran might go back to Japan."
"What?" Sakura asked in a hoarse whisper.
Tomoyo stared at her cousin, "Didn't you know?"
"No…how? He can't…" tears threatened to spill from emerald, but Sakura held it in.
"Don't worry, I am sure he wont," Tomoyo, said soothingly. She looked at her watch and sighed, "Come on, class is going to start any minute."
"Yeah, ok," she said and walked along the halls with her cousin. Both stepped inside the classroom and noticed Syaoran and Eriol were already sitting down. Sakura sat on Syaoran's right, and Eriol on the left. Then came Tomoyo on Eriol's right.
"Morning you two," Eriol said with a smile.
"Not really," Sakura mumbled.
"What was that?" Syaoran asked.
"Nothing," she stated.
"Sakura-" but the teacher walked in and everyone quieted down. Syaoran started writing something in his notebook…a note to Sakura, and droned out the teachers' voice. Something wrong was with Sakura, and he wanted to find out.
He was so engrossed with the letter that he didn't notice nor hear the teacher asking for his name. "Syaoran!" she yelled.
Eriol jabbed him in the side and nodded. Syaoran looked up and grinned a little. "Um yes sensei?"
"What is more important then me talking?" she asked strictly.
"Anything," he mumbled.
"What was that!?" she warned.
"Nothing sensei," he sighed. She began to walk over to him and saw his note and smirked wickedly. She plucked his notebook and began to read.
"Sakura, are you ok today? You seem down and a tad bit depressed. I was just wondering because usually your, your bubbly and cheery self. Anyways, tell me later so I can drone out the sensei's talking." The sensei narrowed her eyes at Syaoran and wrote something on a different piece of paper. "So, it seems that you don't like my lectures and just want to talk to your little girlfriend-"
"I am not his girlfriend!" Sakura said with a red face.
"I guess you can join Mr. Li in detention Miss Avalon, for such rude behavior," the sensei sneered.
"Your not aloud to talk to a student like that sensei," Sakura sneered back. "Since I am going to the principals office, I wont mind telling him about this little ordeal." She said and got up.
Syaoran got up too and snatched his notebook from the sensei. Before he went out the door, he turned around and smirked. "Before the end of the day, you're fired," he said and walked out with Sakura.
Silence was filled in the halls, as between the two friends. No one talked, until Sakura spoke. "Are you really going?" she whispered.
He stared at her questioningly, "Where?"
"To Japan, are you going back for good this summer?"
Syaoran ruffled his hair and sighed, "Yeah, I was thinking about it…"
"Oh…" she said and held her head down.
"How did you know?" he finally asked.
"Tomoyo. We were talking about how our days together are still numbered and how everyone is going to different colleges and we'll all be too busy with each other, and you'll just leave…" she spoke softly. 'And I'll be left to be forgotten,' she thought.
"But that isn't a for sure answer. I might not even go at all. I like it better here, but all my family is over there…I don't know what to do so I want to cherish the moments we have left Kura…don't leave our last few weeks together depressing ones…they should be of us hanging out together with Tomoyo and Eriol," he grinned.
Sakura lifted her head, and emerald met amber once again. Even though his eyes pierced some people, it warmed her heart just to look deep within those depths of mystery. They walked inside the principal's door and met up with him.
They explained what happened and he seemed furious at the teacher. "I can't believe it! I have had a lot of complaints from her, but I didn't believe it. Yet now it comes from two of my top students! I shall not stand for this." He said angrily. "You two can either stay here or go back to the class if you want."
Both looked at each other and smiled, "Well stay here."
For the rest of the twenty minutes, both Sakura and Syaoran talked about their pasts and all the good memories they had. The minutes seemed to go by fast, and that's exactly how their days would be…minute by minute…day-by-day…
The bell finally rang and both went to lunch. They met up with Eriol and sat down under a tree. "Where is Tomoyo-Chan?" Sakura asked.
"Er…um…she went to…uh…get lunch!" Eriol said nervously.
Sakura squinted her eyes at Eriol, "She said the only time she'd eat cafeteria food was when she would give up designing clothes."
"Ummmm…she went to the machines silly," he laughed.
"Wait a minute-"
"Hey everyone!" Tomoyo said while appearing out of now where.
"Where have you been?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh I have been…" she looked at Eriol and he started eating and looking at her, "eating."
"Where's your food?" Sakura asked.
"I got chips!"
"Something fishy is going on and I think I know what it is," Sakura said.
Tomoyo and Eriol's eyes widened, "Were sorry Kura…"
"You guys can't keep anything from me!" Sakura smirked. "Don't try and hide that you two are going steady."
Eriol and Tomoyo fell back with mild shock. They had actually thought Sakura had found out. Syaoran grinned and punched Eriol in the shoulder. "Who's the dog now."
"Er…woof?"
All four laughed and conversed about what they were going to do. The bell finally rang and PE was up next. The girls had gymnastics and the guys had basketball. They went their separate ways except Eriol and Tomoyo.
"Did you do it?" he asked.
"Yep, I snuck the application in…piece of cake," Tomoyo winked with her amethyst gaze.
"Good, part one is complete," he smirked. "And people are going to vote for Sakura, because she is an all around likeable person, so of course she'll win."
"Well you forgot one thing…the other candidates," Tomoyo sighed.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Kukri Kamiya is a candidate and she is also like Sakura, the typical all around loveable girl except she is included with the Miss Priss act," she said coldly.
Eriol sighed with frustration, "This is bad."
"Very bad…"
"What to do?"
"If Kukri tries any dirty business well pull something on her…"
"What if she wins?"
"She won't win."
"What if?"
"Then were screwed and we most likely will lose our friendship with Sakura and Syaoran, plus both will have their feelings hurt," Tomoyo exasperated.
"Aw shit, I knew this might come and bite me in the ass," Eriol whined.
"Don't worry! That gachi Kukri will pay if she tries anything," Tomoyo smirked.
Eriol looked worried, "Tomoyo, I don't like the evil you. Bring back your sweet side!"
Tomoyo narrowed her eyes at Eriol, "I was not even on my evil side."
"Oops."
