Chapter 5: Prom Night
Alex had finally calmed and apologized to Mike and Malfoy since he attacked them. Then, afterwards, everything came back to normal. Syaoran was still staring at Sakura after giving that kiss. He wanted to bring it up to her but didn't dare to do it.
Alex was with Sakura now and she was kinda keeping an eye on him. She knew how Alex act whenever he was high and she didn't want him to act that way most of all, in Li's mansion. Sakura had another dozen of glasses of vodka and that surprised Syaoran's gang.
They didn't know that Sakura was so alcoholic. "Hey, Sakura," Meilin said. "Aren't you getting fed up with vodka?"
"Naah," said Sakura. She ain't hiccupping or anything, aight? "It tastes good and besides, this is my favorite."
She didn't seem to be drunk and all because her voice was still sweet and her eyes weren't red yet. Alex asked her for a dance and she agreed. In the dance floor, Alex was so close to Sakura as if he was protecting her from something…. or for someone?
"So I just saw you kiss Syaoran," Alex said out of the blue. "Does that mean anything?"
"What is it to you?" Sakura said jokingly. She was the youngest in the gang and she was so aware of the gang's protectiveness.
"What is it to me? Are you kidding? It means a lot to me because you just kissed someone you hardly know!" Alex said, almost shouting.
"Fine," Sakura sighed. "I didn't know he would actually do it. He told me I'm pretty and when I asked him how he could say so, he told me he didn't know and he was like… All I know is that I want to kiss right now. Then I kinda didn't believe anything that he said but he leaned down and kissed me then worst part of it, I kissed him back."
"Yeah right whatever," Alex said. "So you like him?"
"I don't know," Sakura said. "You know what? We're kinda weird. Both of us."
"Why?"
"We both know we're so drunk but still we ARE talking about that kiss. And for sure, we won't remember any of it when we wake up later for school."
"Damn! We have school tomorrow!" Alex gently grabbed Sakura's wrist and went back to the gang. "We gotta go now," he said to Meilin.
"So soon?" she said, disappointed.
"We have school tomorrow," Alex explained.
"Oh yeah!" Meilin said and started panicking too. "Xiao!!!!" she called and Syaoran went to them.
"What?" Syaoran asked, he was so drunk too.
"We're going now," Sakura said.
"Oh ok," Syaoran said simply but deep inside of him, he didn't want her to go.
"Hey! Why don't you all stay here for the night?" suggested Eriol.
"But…" came Sakura's voice. Touya would surely be angry with her because he knew that she would be staying in Tomoyo's place. But she didn't care anyways.
"Oh cmon Sakura," Meilin said. "We have so many extra rooms and I have uniforms for the two of you and the guys could borrow the gang's uniforms."
"Ok, all right," Sakura nodded.
Meilin jumped with joy and Syaoran could have jumped with her since Sakura was staying for the night but he was aware that Alex was glaring at him coldly. They left the room and Meilin led Tomoyo and Sakura to their rooms while Eriol and Syaoran led Malfoy, Mike, Alex and Dan to their rooms. When Meilin opened the door to their room, Sakura and Tomoyo both fell on their beds.
Meilin laughed at them as she saw how tired they were. "There are some nightgowns and pajamas in the closet," Meilin said, pointing at a huge closet. "A maid will just bring your uniforms early in the morning. When will be your first class tomorrow?"
"9 o' clock," Sakura mumbled. She was so drowsy now.
"Good, then we can leave altogether," Meilin said. "Our class starts at the same time. We're leaving by 8:50 and you can your breakfast anytime. Just go to the dining room ok?"
"Ok," Tomoyo and Sakura said in unison.
"Good night, gurls," Meilin said waking out of the room. (A/n: Syaoran told the guys the same things Meilin said to Sakura and Tomoyo. ^_~)
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Sakura changed into a pale green nightgown quickly and slept. Tomoyo changed into fuchsia pajamas and slept too. They both woke up at the same time; 7:30 in the morning. Tomoyo was the first one who took a bath while Sakura set off to the dining room to take breakfast with her nightgown.
~* Dining Room *~
Sakura was still sleepy when she joined the others to have breakfast. Alex, Dan, Syaoran and Meilin were there. She greeted them a sweet 'hello' and began taking few pieces of bacon and a sandwich filled with chicken spread. Syaoran watched Sakura as she took cute small bites on the sandwich.
Before he noticed, she was finished with it and didn't bother to take another plate. She had eaten less and everyone wondered the same thing.
"Are you on a diet?" they all said together.
Sakura laughed at them as they asked the same question. "Sort of," she answered softly. "Why are you asking?"
"Why are you on a diet, sweetheart?" Meilin asked.
"I just feel like doing it and besides I don't want to be fat."
"But you're so slim now, what's the diet for?" came Alex's voice.
"Nothing, I just don't feel like eating."
"Are you worried that your prom dress won't fit in you after two weeks?" asked Dan.
With that, Sakura laughed and shook her head as a 'no'. "So any further questions?" she asked.
"None," they all said. Sakura excused herself and went out of the dining room, still had the smile on her face. She met Tomoyo coming out of the room and greeted her then took a bath.
After taking a bath, she found Tomoyo with her uniform and she found hers on the bed. She wore it and she was so happy that its size was the same size as her own.
"Hey, what about our shoes?" Sakura asked Tomoyo while combing her auburn hair.
"In the closet," Tomoyo answered. "There are also socks there."
"And what about our things for school?" Sakura said.
"It's on the living room," Tomoyo said smiling. "Don't worry too much about it aight? My bodyguards got it from our homes and brought it all here."
"Oh ok," Sakura said nodding. When they were fully dressed, they went down and found the others waiting only for the two of them. They all got in Li's limo with their school bags and set off for school. Syaoran's gang ain't really using the limo to go to school but since they were many this day, they had to.
~* School *~
Everybody gasped as they saw Sakura and Syaoran's gang getting off the same limo. The whole campus thought that if ever the two gangs faced each other, they would surely hate each other's guts but it was the other way around. They seemed pretty close to each other now and they loved each other's company.
Meilin walked to her locker with Tomoyo and Sakura and they separated ways going to their first classes. During lunchtime, both the gangs took lunch together at the park. And whenever each of them saw each other on the hallways, they greeted each other cheerfully. (A/n: There are a lot of each others there, sorry).
Everyone in the campus was aware of the two gang's bonding. Also, they were aware of the love triangles!!!! ^_^
They could sense the intense aura of Syaoran and Alex fighting over Sakura by their exchange of cold stares. Also, they could feel Takashi and Malfoy's aura fighting over Meilin. But with the anger, they could feel love was in the air as well.
Eriol and Tomoyo made up a cute couple. They were so sweet with each other and they could see them blush whenever they were being teased.
~* After one week *~
The two gangs' bonding became strong. They all hangout together in malls and spent time together too. Sakura was so late to come home every evening and that really pisses Touya off. Yeah right, he really gave up bringing the real Sakura back. They hardly saw each other at all these days. He was working early in the morning and when he went back home, Sakura wasn't around.
Tomoyo was beginning to like Eriol and Eriol, on the other hand, couldn't find a way of how to ask her to the prom. Everybody in the gang was persuading him to do so and so he finally came up with something. He knew Tomoyo's schedule by Sakura of course so after their volleyball practice, Eriol waited for her outside the gym.
"Hey Tomoyo," he greeted.
"Hey, aren't you suppose to have basketball practice?" she asked.
"I don't care about that," Eriol said, handing her a towel since she was sweating from her practice. "So you are going out with someone yet in our prom?"
"Nope," she said, drinking water from her bottle. "Many asked me but I hadn't made up my mind yet."
"Uuh, care going out with me?" he said, blushing.
Tomoyo was shocked but she wanted to come with him so she agreed and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Meilin and Sakura with her video cam! Tomoyo ignored them and kissed Eriol lightly on his cheek. 'I'm going to get you for that, Sakura-chan,' Tomoyo told herself.
~* Two days before the prom *~
Touya luckily had his day-off and luckily, too, he found Sakura in their house. He almost hugged her when he saw her again but she might think that he was over reacting. Sakura didn't bother to smile at him when she saw him and sat down on the dining table and had her breakfast. She was about to go to school and she was in her roller blades already.
"So you going to school now?" Touya asked stupidly.
"Isn't it obvious?" Sakura asked back.
"Yeah it's obvious all right?" Touya said, sitting down across from her. "My mom told me about your prom this month."
"Like you care," Sakura said, not looking at him now. She was so pissed of him whenever he was asking questions of how her life was going.
"Course I care," Touya said. "So whom are you going out with?"
"I don't know yet," Sakura said and stood up. "And besides, it's none of your bloody business. Goodbye."
Then she went outside the house without another word to him. Touya was left there, watching his baby sister go out with her icy heart. How the hell can he bring the real she back? He didn't want their parents to know about her worse attitude because he didn't want them to worry as much as he was worrying now.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+**+*+*+*+
Sakura wasn't in a good mood when she was on her way to school. The people were so aware of her bad mood since she wasn't smiling and she wasn't greeting them as she passed by with her roller blades. She didn't feel like talking to her own brother anymore since the day he blurted out that she was been drinking with strangers to her mom and dad.
Well as a result, her parents would be sending her away from Japan after graduating high school. She hadn't had the chance to explain that she was been drinking with no strangers. Those strangers Touya was talking about were Dan and the others. He couldn't just recognize them since it was dark that time. Her gang didn't know any of this and she didn't want them to know yet.
Touya wasn't telling their parents that she was still been drinking with her friends late at night because he happened to know how much his baby sister hated him now. Also, he didn't want things to get worse but he was trying to make it up to her; it was just that she didn't want to.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Sakura reached her school and found the whole gang waiting for her. They greeted her happily and she forced herself to smile in front of them. Her gang was so well aware that she was hiding something from that smile of hers and Tomoyo insisted to spill it out.
"Fine," Sakura said, closing her locker. "Many juniors and seniors are asking me to go out with them for that bloody prom and I don't know whom I'll go with!" She lied but her gang believed her somehow. (A/n: But that was the truth. I mean, any seniors and juniors are really asking her to go with them but that isn't the reason why she was in a bad mood. Gets?)
"You can go out with me," said Alex proudly.
"Whatever," Sakura said.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo said. "Prom is two days from now and you should decide now who will be your date!"
"Like as if I'm the only on here who don't have a date yet?" Sakura said looking at each of her gang's faces. All of them nodded and she blushed. "What the…? I'm the only one who don't have a date yet?" she hissed, not wanting others to hear her.
"I don't have a date either," said Alex. "I only asked you, you know."
Sakura felt touched with that and she asked the others who would be their dates. Malfoy would be dating Chiharu even he wanted to date Meilin instead; Dan would be going out with Rika; Mike would be dating Takashi's sister who was so hot and cute named Daphnie and Tomoyo, of course would be with Eriol.
"Oh ok. Now I get it," Sakura said. "I'll think about it, Alex. What about Syaoran's gang? All of them had dates already?"
"I don't know," Tomoyo said. "Better ask them. Here they are!" Tomoyo pointed towards Syaoran's gang and as soon as they came up to them, she hugged Eriol and kissed him softly.
"You all had dates already?" Sakura asked.
"Yep except for our Syaoran here," Meilin said making Syaoran feel embarrassed.
"Oooh, who would be your dates?
"I'll be dating Takashi here; Eriol will be with Tomoyo and Aki will be with Naoko," Meilin explained.
"You asked someone lately to go with you man?" Dan asked.
"Nope, not a single person," Syaoran answered simply.
"That's strange," Sakura commented.
"Well, the girls ARE the ones asking him not him himself, you know," Aki said.
"Better find a girl now man!" Malfoy teased.
"I will rather go alone there you know," Syaoran grinned as the other girls let out a sigh of disappointment hearing that.
~* Prom Night *~
~* Tomoyo's mansion *~
The gurls were all in Tomoyo's room, getting ready for the prom. Their escorts were all waiting for them downstairs. (A/n: Oh,Sakura is going with Alex and Shaoran won't be going with someone.) Their dresses really look great on them. Meilin had the pale red dress with a slit up to her thigh. Tomoyo cut some of the skirt since it was too long for her. Tomoyo also put some border at the end of the skirt making it look prettier.
Sakura's dress was a pink silk one. It was almost like Meilin's but it wasn't backless. The backside was tied up with silk strings revealing the curves of her body. The skirt was in a wonderful flow and had a slit up to her knee. Tomoyo's dress was a lavender one with a shawl that hung around her arms; it was also strapless like Meilin and Sakura's and it was also backless; the slit was up to her knee. (A/n: I know the way I describe their dresses sucks. Forgive me for that.)
Tomoyo tied her hair up leaving some strands of her hair fall over her face. Sakura let her hair down while Meilin tied up her hair in two pigtails. They were all wearing the same chokers and bracelets, making them look so cute. They wore light make-up because they all hate it. When they were satisfied, they all went down and met their awaiting escorts.
Eriol couldn't take his eyes from Tomoyo's beauty same as Takashi with Meilin. Syaoran was so stunned with Sakura's beauty. He felt happy with Alex and hated himself for not having the guts to ask her. Now, he was not going with anyone and he might receive an award for it since nobody was expecting that.
They all drove off to the prom's venue; it was a hotel reception near their school.
~* Reception *~
The venue was filled up with juniors and seniors. All of them were settled in
each table with their dates. Sakura and Syaoran's gang were of the same table
since they asked for it. They were happily talking making Chiharu, Naoko, Rika
and Daphnie feel 'in' among them. Dinner was later on served and they began to
eat.
Alex was so sweet with Sakura, making Syaoran so jealous. Syaoran quickly finished up his food and excused himself, not wanting to see them together anymore. When they all finished their food, they decided to dance. Alex danced with Sakura of course while the others dance with their dates.
In the middle of the song, Syaoran asked Alex if he could dance with Sakura and Alex dumbly agreed. Syaoran danced with Sakura, unaware that Sakura was nervous. 'No repeats of Eriol's party,' she kept telling herself. She had to admit that he was so cute as well as Alex. But Syaoran's brown eyes really turned her on than Alex's blue ones. And there was something with Syaoran that seemed melting Sakura's frozen heart. She felt as if her back was growing wings whenever he touched her hand.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Alex sat down on the bar and ordered something to drink. From there, he could see Sakura and Syaoran dancing sweetly together. He knew that Sakura was starting to fall for Syaoran and he didn't want to be the wall between them. Even Sakura ain't spending so much time with Syaoran, he could see in her eyes that she was always wondering where the hell he was and wished he was right here beside her.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Sakura and Syaoran was such a cute couple. They were both in silence throughout their two dances and both held each other closely.
"Why are you so quiet?" Sakura whispered to him.
Syaoran smiled at her. "Look, who's talking!"
"Well I have my reason to be quiet you know," Sakura pointed out.
"And what is that?" Syaoran asked.
"Well, I have nothing to say, simple as that," Sakura said. "What's your excuse?"
"Uuh, well, uum," he stammered.
"Yes?"
"It's like... uuh, I wanna ask you something," Sakura nodded for him to continue. "Uuh, during Eriol's party…" She knew what was coming aight? "While we're dancing and we're both kinda drunk. I mean, we both were sooo drunk, uuh…"
"Yeah fine, I know what you mean," Sakura said, feeling shy. "What about it?"
"Well, I wanna ask you, do you mean it?"
Sakura's mind was spinning. Does she mean it? She had to admit that she kissed him back purposely but does she mean it? She sighed and looked straight in his brown eyes. "I got three words to answer that question: I- don't- know."
Syaoran was about to laugh at how she said it but he knew this thing was serious. He remained silent waiting for a proper answer from her.
"I really don't know," Sakura said, feeling scared now. "Please don't look at me like that." She said making her hands became cold on his neck. He had that look when he was about to kiss her in Eriol's party.
"Look like what?" he smirked.
"Like that!" Sakura said. "And don't smirk at me!"
"Why not?" Syaoran teased. He liked seeing her trembling and feeling her hands shaking.
"Just don't!"
"Fine," Syaoran said and smiled at her. He took a breath and kissed her on the cheek quickly then led her back to the table. "What do you want for drink?"
"Vodka."
Syaoran nodded and went to the bar to get a glass of vodka for her. There he met Alex's cold and angry glare.
