AN: This chapter is long overdue. But what can you do when
you have writer's block (that lasted about two years)? Anyway,
excuse the grammar and crap because I don't do rough drafts, I
just write. So if you don't like it, well, I can't do nothing 'bout
that.
We entered the ballroom and I still couldn't believe I was with
Sakura! Sakura, my worst enemy turned out to be someone I
cared for. But it was still somewhat strange and awkward, this
feeling I have when I see her.
That day when I saw her in the park I saw a side of her I had
never seen before. I mean I've seen her cry lots of times in
school over breaking the point on her pencil or something stupid
like that. But that day, she seemed so sad. She wasn't her
usual happy self. Until now I realized I hated that guy because
he made her cry.
And now here I am with her. At first I thought I offered to go
because I felt bad for making her cry more but now I think I
wanted to go. Some hidden part of me always knew I felt
something different with her. I wouldn't know if I liked her not
because I simply never felt that way about a girl before. This
feeling was foreign to me and it mad me scared a little bit. I
could still feel her lips touch my cheek...
All of a sudden I could feel her tug my arm and I looked down to
her large green eyes. They were so innocent and endearing, it
kind of took me by surprise.
"Is there anything wrong? You seemed kind of spaced out!" She
grinned at me and made my heart skip a beat.
"Nothing, really. I was just thinking how odd it is to be here
with you now, Sakura-chan." All of sudden I saw her eyebrows
tweak up a little bit and her eyes widened. She lowered her
face away as faint pink stained her cheeks. 'Is she blushing?' I
thought.
"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? What I meant by that
was...."
"Nothing... Syoa-chan..."
Aaaahh!! Did she just say Syoa-chan? Suddenly I blushed and
realized why she had just a moment ago. But could that mean
she feels the same way about me now? Half of me hoped she
did and my other half was too scared to find out. Baka! When
did I become such a woss? What happened to being fearless
and all that crap? I guess it all got tossed out into the trash
when I realized just how beautiful she was. I was never afraid,
even when I faced death. But now I'm scared out of my wits.
Sakura spotted Tomoyo and a couple of her friends by a table
and dragged me along.
"Hey Sakura!" Tomyo greeted. "You look fabulous in that dress,
like I knew you would!" She quickly glanced over to me and
gave me this devilish kind of smile. She walked over to us and
lightly grabbed Sakura by that arm. "Walk with me, talk with me
Sakura. You don't mind if I take her away from you for a
moment do you Li?" I shook my head and off they went. To the
Ladies' room was my best guess. "Bring her in a jiffy!" And just
like that they were gone. And I was left standing there with her
friends.
Tomoyo dragged me off to a Janitor's closet! It was dingy and
smelled of chemicals. She looked down both ends of the halls.
When she found it was empty she quickly closed the door
behind us.
"So...," she began. I blinked at her and was confused.
"So what? And why did you drag us into some stinky Janitor's
closet?"
"So we could have some privacy, so you know... we could talk."
"About what?! What was so important that we HAD to sneak off
here?"
"You AND Li!" I blushed at the sound of us together. Li and I?
Together? It didn't sound so bad! I mean he looked so
handsome wearing that suit. He didn't wear a tie though and he
left the very first button loose! Exposing a teeny bit of his
chest! He looked so cute.
"What are you talking about?!" I tried my best to sound
incredulous. But to my knowledge I am a VERY bad actress. My
hand pushed a curl behind my hair and in that moment I felt
how hot my face was.
"Yeah, okay! You can't fool me! You and Li!" Tomoyo squeeled
and uncharacteristically behaved like a girl. "This is so great!
You looked so cute with each other! And who knew Li could
look so hot with that unbuttoned thing he has going on!!" I felt
the blood shot up to my face at thought of his chest! I
shouldn't be thinking along those lines, but I couldn't help it.
"I... I don't know what you're talking about!" I crossed my arms
and turned away from her. I was trying to regain some of my
diginity back. Having your best friend find out who your crush
was in a stinky old Janitor's closet wasn't something a girl would
want.
"Aw, c'mon Sakura! Cheer up! You guys are THE ultimate
couple! You, the cute girl every guy wants! Li is the guy every
girl wants but coincidentally you were rivals but now you're in
love! So kawaii!!"
I finally turned around and accepted defeat. So what if I liked Li
like that? And so what if I DID think about him along those
lines? So what...
"Tomoyo, don't tell him okay? I don't want him to find out."
"Of course I wouldn't! I'm your friend, I'm just a little
disappointed that you didn't tell me first."
"How could I? I just realized it not so long ago. And to tell you
the truth I was scared..."
"Why? You 've liked guys before! Sometimes you even made the
first move."
"It's juat that, I never felt this way about anyone before
Tomyo! Not this quickly anyway... it's all so sudden but exciting
you know? I didn't realize how good of a person he was until
that day when he dumped me." I began to grin. "How ironic!
Someone had to dump me and humiliate me in front of the
whole school just so I could meet a guy ten times better."
"Yeah, life has a cruel sense of humor."
I looked at her then hugged her. I was so happy I had someone
like her in my life. A friend I could confide all my feelings to. She
didn't even ask me to apologize to her for the way I was acting
a couple of days ago. She's understanding like that. I love her
so much.
"So," Tomoyo began, "Let's get back to the party! Don't want
to keep Romeo waiting now do we?"
"Nope!" I said. Smiling the biggest smile ever possible. This time
I didn't lie to myself about Li. I liked Li more than just a friend.
Someone I could share my very FIRST kiss. Yes, even though
I've been out with other guys I never had the courage to kiss
them. But this time I was sure! He's the one I wanted to
experience it with. And so, as we left the closet I promised
myself by the end of this night we would kiss. I don't care what
it takes to achieve my goal!
AN: I know it's short but I gotz some homework to do... R&R
bye!
