Author's Note: Oooh. I just realised (from reviews and thinking) that I've dragged a bit of the chapters. Okay. This chapter is gonna be the one where they go to the dance. I think about four more chapters, or so and I might be done. Yay. Thanks to my beloved reviewers:
sakurapetalsntears: It's finally edited, lol. Irking... what?! Hehe, thanks for reviewing. =P
AnonymousT: Hehe. Yeah, I guess so. But hey. If I didn't have a few more chapters, then it would end at chapter 3 or something. This is the last dragged chapter! Sorry, I couldn't help it. -.-''' Hehe, thanks!
sweet-captor: Cute? Is that all you can say? LOL... thanks! XD
Summary: This fanfic is loosely based on the movie, She's All That. Sakura is the typical nerdy artsy girl. Syaoran is the typical rich high school drop dead gorgeous player. When Yuriko dumps Syaoran for another guy, Syaoran decides to take revenge. To ask Sakura to the prom. S&S! R&R!

Chapter 5: Dance With Me
=====Syaoran's POV=====
~*~*~*~*~*Friday of that week - After School
"Yeah! It's Mina's party tonight! You ready to par-tay, Syaoran?" Eriol asked me, as we were walking out of the school.
"Ugh. Yeah. So, who are you gonna bring tonight?" I asked Eriol, casually.
"Nah, mate! I'm going alone. Who are you going with. Sakura?" Eriol raised his eyebrow at me.
"Huh. As a matter of fact, I am. You don't know what I have in mind, do you?" I told Eriol.
"Well, I'm dying to know," Eriol replied, sarcastically.
"Ha, how nice of you," I replied, just as sarcastically, "Well, see ya tonight at the party!" I called as I ran to catch up with Sakura, who was just ahead of us.
"Hey Sakura. Ready for tonight?" I asked her, cheerfully.
"Uh. The dance right? Umm. I gotta go do some homework today, since it's Friday," Sakura told me uncomfortably.
"What? Well, we'll see about that!" I said, grinning mischeviously.
What I had in mind was not as evil as I had expected to be. I was just doing Sakura a favour. I think just agreeing to the bet was doing Sakura a favour.
Or was it?
~*~*~*~*~*Sakura's House - Three Hours Later
Ding Dong! I rang Sakura's bell.
Sakura's Dad opened the door. "Hi Syaoran. How are you doing? Looking for Sakura?" He questioned me.
"Hi Mr Kinomoto. Yup. Is she home?" I asked him nervously, hoping Sakura wouldn't have gone out or doing something else.
"Yup. She's downstairs in the basement," Sakura's Dad looked at me curiously again.
"Thanks," I said, going into the house, and heading downstairs to basement level.
"Hi Sakura!"
I'm too cheerful, I thought to myself.
"Hi. What are you doing here, Syaoran?" Sakura asked, giving me a demanding look.
"To take you to the dance, of course! Come on, I bought you a dress. You have to go with me. I deliberately went to the mall to buy you a dress!" I said, with a pleading look.
"But after this, I have to clean up," Sakura stated, looking at me nervously.
Good liar she is, I thought.
"Nope... I have a few people who owe me favours. I have some people who are willing to clean for you. And, I have a make-up artist, Emiko. She'll help you get ready for the dance. So, we've solved both of your problems. Emiko, take her upstairs. And the rest of you guys keep cleaning please!" I replied smartly.
God, I'm the smartest guy in the world, I thought amusingly. (A/N: Of Course he is. He's Syaoran Li, for Heaven's sake! =P)
As I was waiting, I sat next to Sakura's little brother on the couch to watch TV.
"You're Syaoran, right? I'm Kiyoshi, Sakura's bro. What's up?" Sakura's brother, Kiyoshi asked me when I sat on the couch.
"Hey Kiyoshi. I'm just waiting for your sister to come down. We're gonna go a party today." I told Kiyoshi.
"Oh. Really? Wow, I like your car out there," Kyoshi said as he pulled the curtain over to look at my car.
And that's how it went until....
~*~*~*~*~*An hour later
As the guys were still cleaning, I was starting to get impatient. Where the hell was Sakura? We were supossed to leave at 6:30, and at the moment it was 6:30. The time we should be leaving.
"Okay. You guys can go now!" I said to the guys who were cleaning. They had done a really big favour for me this time.
I waited for a few minutes, and then, as my impatientness (A/N: There such word? Well, never mind, lol.) got to me, I walked over to the bottom of the stairs and said, "Hey Emiko! Are you done with Sakura yet?"
Emiko came down the stairs, looking flustered. "Okay. I now present to you... the new Sakura Kinomoto!"
As I couldn't see anyone coming down the stairs, I looked at Emiko.
Emiko looked back at me and yelled up the stairs, "Sakura Kinomoto! Get your cute ass down here right NOW!"
I could see someone coming down the stairs now. She had long, slim legs and a very pretty face. As she stared at me, I could feel her green eyes, staring at me.
green eyes...
"Syaoran?" Emiko waved her hand in front of my face. "You looked like you were in a trance,"
"Huh? Oh yeah. I'm here," I told Emiko, as I realised I was staring at Sakura. As I shook my head mentally, I thought we had better get going.
"Come on, Sakura, we better get going if we wanna get some good food!" I said to her, grinning.
"Ummm, okay then." Sakura replied nervously, and I shrugged it off as Sakura feeling self conscious about her new makeover.
I held my arm out for Sakura to take, Sakura started walking down, every step careful, careful about not tripping over with her new high heeled shoes I had bought her. Suddenly, as she was taking the last step, she missed a step, and tripped. She tripped... right into my arms. I watched her, and looked into her shining emerald eyes.
As she stared back at me. I was broken out of my trance as I heard someone squealing.
It was Emiko.
"Ohmigosh! That is so cute!" Emiko looked back and forth at me and Sakura.
"Uhhh... T-thanks, S-S-Syaoran..." Sakura stuttered, brushing herself off.
"T-that's O-okay. Come on, we gotta go now! Bye Emiko!" I said as I dragged Sakura out the door to avoid any more squealing from Emiko.
~*~*~*~*~*At the party - Sakura's POV
As me and Syaoran entered the dance, I could feel Syaoran's arm slip into mine. I blushed furiously, as Syaoran spotted Eriol, and started walking over to him, dragging me along.
"Yo, Syaoran! Hey, Sakura!" Eriol said, flashing a smile at me and Syaoran.
Eriol edged closer to Syaoran and whispered something I couldn't quite catch. Syaoran then gave Eriol a funny look and said to me, "Hey, Sakura! I'm gonna go and uhh... catch up with some of my friends. You can go get a drink or something while I do that, okay? Don't worry, I'll be back really soon," he gave me a comforting look and went with Eriol to meet his friends.
I walked to the refreshments area, aware that everyone was staring at me.
'They probably don't know, or realise who I am,' I sighed to myself.
I took a drink from the table, and headed toward the blue sofa in the corner, until I bumped into someone.
"Ohmigod! I'm SO sorry!" I heard Pabai Yuriko say to me.
"Hi. Uhhh, that's okay." I replied, as I saw she was wearing a dress similar to the one Syaoran had bought me, but in black.
"So. Uhh, how's stuff?" She looked at my chest, and I suddenly felt self-conscious. As I looked back at her, I saw a glint in her eyes. What was it? I asked myself, feeling almost uneasy, just standing there and talking to me. I mean, why would the most popular girl in the school be talking to me, Sakura Kinomoto?!
"Nothing. I'm okay, you?" I replied, trying to make my voice casual.
"Nothing. I'm okay, you?" She mimicked me, and I felt as vulnerable as a ghost, just standing there and talking to her. I suddenly had the urge to go home. I wasn't liking this party scene one little bit.
"May I be excused? I need to go to the bathroom," I said to her, and, walking away, I resisted the urge to run to the bathroom. I could still feel her hypocritical eyes on me. I wondered why. Why did she talk to me like that? Did she not like me? Did I do something wrong?
'It must've been the dress,' I thought to myself.
As I walked casually to the toilets, I heard someone in there.
"mmm-ffff-mm-eee-rr...." I heard someone mumble.
As I walked in the toilets, I saw Akina Kiriko in there. She held her head over the toilet, probably vomitting from having too much to drink. She was part of Yuriko's gang, and suddenly I had an evil scheme in my head.
As I walked out of the toilet, I quickly ran, and stopped at the couch I was in, breathing heavily and laughing inwardly.
Akina had come out of the toilet, wearing what looked like face paint. She had lots and LOTS of blush. Blue blush, to be exact. She had a red nose, green lips and her forehead was yellow. Basically, she looked like a clown. Which was the reason everyone was staring at her. As she stumbled out, she realised everyone was staring at her, so she stared back. She neared a mirror, and, shocked at her reflection, she raced out of the party.
I sat there, drinking my drink, watching everyone. Soon, I saw a guy, wearing microfibres, who had started breakdancing in front of everyone. I thought what a loser he was, as Yuriko came and dragged 'Seiji' (what she called him) off the supossed 'dancefloor'.
As the guy was being dragged off, I got up and got another drink, and wandered around, with people asking who I was.
I didn't tell them anything. I just walked away and smiled.
As I was just standing there, watching I heard someone 'bump' into me again.
I looked, and to my horror, I saw Yuriko again.
"Ohmigod! I'm SO sorry again! I seem to 'bump' into you a lot, don't I?" She let out a fake giggle.
"Uh, that's okay," I said, slowly backing away from her.
With no luck, Yuriko just stepped forward a bit and tried to keep up the conversation, "So, where did you get that dress?" she questioned me, giving me a funny look.
I stood there, staring into her cold hazel eyes and said boldly, "Someone gave it to me,"
All I could hear was silence, and I could almost hear the smoke coming out from Yuriko's ears. "Oh, how sweet!" she said sarcastically, "Who?"
I gulped and replied, "Uhh... Syaoran," everyone gasped, and glanced at Yuriko's.
Suddenly, I could feel her hand going towards me. She was holding a cup. I dreaded every second of talking to Yuriko. "Syaoran, huh? It's pretty nice..." she trailed off, as she clutched her cup, and, pouring it down my dress, she squealed and said, "Whoops! I'm REALLY sorry about that! I didn't mean to!"
I stood there, tears threatening to pour out as I ran out the door, with all eyes on me. I could hear a voice in the distance say, "Wait! Wait, Sakura!" I knew whose voice it was, but I didn't dare turn around, and I ran as fast as possible, until someone lurched up and grabbed my arm.
"Where are you going? Don't you want me to drive you home?" Syaoran said, looking at me almost gently.
I started sniffing, as Syaoran took off his jacket and put it around my shoulders. "There. You're warm now. Don't worry about her, she's nothing." He gave me a hopeful smile, and took my hand.
"Come on, it's getting late now, we better get home, I'm really sorry ok?" He held onto my hand, and looked into my eyes.
I held his gaze for a while, before replying, "If she's so stupid, then why did you go out with her?" and I broke our gaze to look down at the floor. My shoes had lost it's heel, probably from running out into the gravel with these high heels I had been wearing.
Syaoran looked away, before shrugging and saying, "I dunno..." He trailed off then, and I could feel his warmness as our arms touched, even underneath Syaoran's jacket, which I was still wearing.
He let go of my hand to open the door to his car for me.
He slammed the door gently, and opened his door, got in and stuck the car keys in. As the engine roared to life, I snuck a look at him.
He looked almost kind, gentle, loving.
'Wait... did I just say loving?!' I shook my head to clear all my thoughts, and as we drove, I lay my head on the seatbelt, dozing off.
A/N: Ahhh, that was another laggy chapter. Had a bit of fluff in it, though. Well, at least I tried to do fluff. Please don't flame me if I can't do fluff, hehe. Oh, and I'm looking for about two beta readers. Please, if you want, just E-mail me @: not_telling_@hotmail.com. Please, review for now, people!
