CHAPTER FOUR
Weird Things
"Kinimoto?!?!" Syaoran said aloud.
"Right you are," she replied. "Um... you see, I actually have a hell of a reason to why I called you," she told him.
"What the heck are you thinking now?" Syaoran exclaimed. Beneath it all, he's just plain shocked that 'she' would even call him... ever.
"Believe it or not, I didn't call to shout at you, curse you, and have war with you. I don't believe it either but I just want to... I just want to make peace... with you," Sakura explained.
"Wait. YOU'RE making peace with ME? Is it me or have I gone deaf all of a sudden?" Syaoran retorted in doubt.
Sakura's sighed. "No, you haven't gone deaf. But yes, I'm making peace with you. That's exactly what I wanted to do. I didn't want to tell you in school because I still have a reputation to keep, you know. I'm not dumb enough to blow it," she said when she paused. "So are you gonna talk or what? It's hard enough for me to keep talking and for you to keep listening."
"You don't really want to make peace, do you? Look Kinimoto, no matter how hard you try to hide it, it's obvious that you're only doing this for the sake of your relationship with Eriol," Syaoran sounded stiff and disdainful.
"Dammit Syaoran! I'm already ignoring my dignity here. And what would you know about doing something for the sake of a good relationship? What if I am doing so? At least I'm trying to get it to work out. I'm not some crazy whore who just happened to be in love with your best friend. Like it or not, I am in love with Eriol and I know he loves me too," Sakura retorted, hurt with Syaoran's being so insensitive. "If you can't even accept my peace-making move, then I can't do anything about it anymore. It's enough for me to know that I actually tried. I'm tired of always having to listen to your rantings. You think I'm going to stick around begging for your friendship? Well guess what asshole, I won't. I'm sorry for wasting your time. You really are nothing but an insensitive moron," and with that, Sakura put the phone down.
Syaoran heard no more but the dial tone as he eventually put the cordless phone away. He was bothered somehow by what Sakura told him. Was he actually... guilty? Guilty that he didn't even consider about listening to what Sakura wanted to say? He blew it and he knew he did.
~*~
"Ugh! That asshole!" I cursed Syaoran as soon as I hung up.
"So, who was on the other line just a while ago?" Touya asked, sticking his face in my room and in my business.
"A nobody. A complete and absolute nobody," I answered him.
"Looks like it was that stupid gaki," Touya guessed it right. Yup, it was 'that' person, who else?
"Yeah, you got that one right," I scoffed. "Can you believe how that piece of shit talked to me? Where in the world did I even get the idea of being friends with him?"
"Well anyway, breakfast is ready when you are," my brother told me and I nodded in understanding. I headed downstairs to join my dad and bro for breakfast. And afterwards, I went to Tomoyo's house. She had called a while ago, telling me to come over and see something.
I rode my Porsche to my best friend's so-called house and made my way to her room. "Tomoyo? I'm already here," I said while I knocked on her door. It opened up and Tomoyo let me in then closed the door behind us. "Why'd you tell me to go here?" I asked her as I made myself comfortable on her bed.
"Oh, I just wanted you to see a couple of new things I just made," Tomoyo told me as she got brought out an entire clothes hanger with a whole new wardrobe suspended on it. She took hold of a sky blue dress with alternate layers of blue and cream on the dress. She put it in front of herself and said, "So, what do you think of it?"
"It's not bad," I answered and tried to examine the dress. Next, Tomoyo got a green dress with pretty ruffles at the end of the skirt and what was also the sleeves. "Pretty," I told her. Then afterwards, she brought out all the other dresses on the hanger and all of which I found nice, as usual. In fact, I thought that Tomoyo didn't really need to show me anything she designed because most of them if not always, often turn out swell.
Once Tomoyo was done showing me everything she had in store for me to see, she brought the clothes hanger away and turned to me to talk. "Sakura? Are you and Eriol together now?" she asked me. Oh shoot! I forgot to mention that to her. Damn, how stupid of me.
"Uh... yeah," I answered. "Sorry I wasn't able to tell you. It just happened so fast."
"Since when?" Tomoyo was intrigued. I figured she asked me out of curiosity. She was my best friend nonetheless.
"Um... it was just yesterday. Last night to be exact. Eriol asked me out last Friday and we went out yesterday," I told her.
"That's... interesting," Tomoyo uttered, almost in a whisper. Tomoyo was beginning to make me wonder. Why was she acting so... like this? I mean, she had always been the supportive and understanding type. Why was she being weird? Was it something I said? Nah, there's never a time Tomoyo got upset because of something I said. Must be something she did.
"Well anyway, you want to do something in the mall later?" I suggested to lighten up her mood but...
Tomoyo shook her head to a negative. "No, maybe not today. I'm a bit tired actually and I feel like staying home instead. So, well, you should get going. Go to the mall, do stuff you want," she said as she opened the door. Is she actually telling me to leave? Ouch.
"Are you sure you don't want to come?" was all I could manage. "Come on, Tomoyo. There must be something you want to do today." This was getting really weird. Tomoyo is acting differently to a point that something seemed wrong. I figured I should ask her about it but something in me told me not to. I sighed in disappointment but then again got an idea. "If you're going to stay here then I might as well call Eriol to keep me company. But if you want to come, just call, okay?" I told her.
"Yeah, alright," Tomoyo replied with a faint smile before I left from her room.
~*~
Syaoran was in the shower getting ready for the day. Something was going on in his mind. He couldn't keep his thoughts in control. They were bothering him a whole lot.
"Damn. I hate to admit it but I think that Sakura is right. Maybe I am nothing but an insensitive moron," Syaoran uttered. 'I'm going mad just because Eriol is going out with 'her'. Not that I'm not happy for him, it's just that why her? Why Sakura?'
He stepped out of the shower and went back to his room as more thoughts about Eriol being with Sakura raced through his head. He sat down on his bed and took out the yearbook from last school year. As he scanned through the pages, he happened to pass through the class picture of Eriol's class. When he turned the page, it was his class and he caught sight of his picture right before Sakura's picture beside it. Their names were close after all. Somehow, he and Sakura had always been in the same class. It annoyed him but what could he do? He couldn't just complain, could he? 'If only that was possible,' Syaoran thought. He stared at his picture and glanced at Sakura's. He couldn't take it anymore just looking at her picture right there in front of him. Cheerful and fun-loving Kinimoto Sakura, his mortal enemy and rival. Syaoran slammed the yearbook shut and put it aside.
Syaoran took out a long sleeved shirt and some pants then donned himself in them. Rushing out of his room, he ignored a certain Meilin as he went to drive his Diablo (omg!). He made his way to the mall to chill out. He needed some time to think about things. What things? Everything.
Syaoran had just parked his car and was walking through the mall entrance when he spotted a familiar ashen white colored car parked quite near to his. He couldn't really see the plate number for some other car was blocking off his view. Syaoran shook the idea of who could be in the mall right at that moment. He overlooked it and made his way through the crowd and inside the mall. Syaoran was walking around by himself and checking out a few stores when he caught sight of a couple that just happened to pass while he was inside this particular shop. They seemed very familiar to Syaoran so he decided to see for himself if his eyes weren't just playing tricks on him.
He left what he was doing and looked around for the two. He tried looking around for them but to no avail. Just when Syaoran blew off into being totally pissed off, he saw the couple sitting by an open cafe. They both seemed pleased just by looking at one another. Syaoran couldn't believe it; Eriol and Sakura having a good time together. He watched the two from a distance but could not figure a thing about what they were talking about.
'This is the edge, Kinimoto. You made me go passed my patience's limitations," Syaoran said as he looked at the happy couple.
~*~
Sakura was so glad Eriol could be with her. At least he was there for her when Tomoyo wasn't. She was satisfied just having to be with him and the thought that they were together now made things so unbelievably perfect. Eriol was such a nice guy. Maybe he was the right one for her after all.
"So, Sakura, how are you going along with Syaoran?" Eriol had to ask.
"Um... I tried to talk but it didn't really bring me any good. I think Syaoran isn't really in the mood to be friends with me right now," Sakura answered as she scooped up some ice cream from her glass.
"Oh, Syaoran's just like that at times. Cut the poor guy some slack. He may be stiff when he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. You did say you called him so early in the morning. I've known Syaoran long enough to figure he'd still be sleeping by then. But if you want, I'll try talking to him some time," Eriol told her.
"Syaoran is stiff, right you are. But, poor? I don't think so. Besides, it's really not much of a big deal now. He can be nice to me when the time comes but I won't force him if he doesn't want to. I'm not that desperate," she replied.
"Alright then. Syaoran will understand. If he doesn't, I'll just have to let him be until he does. I'm sure he'll get over it," Eriol retorted earning himself a smile from Sakura.
"Thanks," Sakura uttered as they continued on with the day.
