Summary: Kinomoto Sakura has liked her best friend, Li Syaoran, since the fourth grade but she's never been able to tell him, since he's always been Mr. Popular, and her, not being as high of a status as him. But when Syaoran makes a bet to go out with Sakura for a month… will things change? And what happens when/if Sakura finds out?

-- My Last Breath --
Chapter 1
Sakura's Point of View
Dear God… could this class be any more boring? I was in history and let me tell you… learning about all the people before me wasn't exactly how I would like to spend my time. Playing volleyball and going to cheerleading practice, yes. But this? Hell no! Aww crap. I hear myself groan aloud as I drop my head onto my arms, which are lifelessly lying on my desk. Syaoran's party. I didn't really have much of a choice to go. Syao wrote me a note saying his mom was going to be out of town for a few weeks to take care of business in China, but wanted to see me before she left. I sighed to myself. It looks like I'll be at the Li mansion tonight. Syao-kun and I can work on the budgeting plans for our marriage project before I go home then I guess. Kinomoto Sakura being married to the famous Li Syaoran. Heh. Who would've thought? Anyways, back to the ideas about the party… I'm not even sure if it's tonight or what. He'll probably have a few so I'll just go to one. I smiled to myself and forced myself to listen to what the history was saying about some kind of war.
--* Later *--
"Nope, you're coming to each and every one of them," Syaoran said closing his eyes nodding to himself while we got into his car. So, I just ran by the idea of me only coming to one of his parties, which… didn't go so well.
"But Syao! You hang out with so many snobs," I pouted slumping down in the passenger's seat to his forest green Lamborghini. Apparently it was his "baby". I inwardly snorted. Men and their cars.
"It's always the same excuse! I can't stand Hiiragizawa but you made me get along with him all the time!" Syaoran exclaimed as he backed out of the parking lot.
"That was back in the fifth grade!" I cried as sitting upright. "And anyways, you guys are really good friends now." Count on Li Syaoran to remember things from the fifth grade.
"Friends?" Syaoran snorted raising an eyebrow, his eyes on the road.
"Yes. And don't even try to deny it. I know about the whole pillow fight ordeal," I said smirking smugly. At this Syaoran immediately pulled over to the side of the road, his tires screeching and hopped out of the car. "Uhh… Syao?" I asked. What in the world was the boy doing?! It was only when he opened my car door and got on his knees did my smirk return. Operation: Beg For Mercy.
"Saku!! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!! Don't tell anyone about that!! It'll kill off my reputation! I swear I'll kill him the next time I see him," Syaoran begged, his hands clasped together, looking quite pitiful I should add, while he was on his knees.
"Well I'm not too sure Mr. Li. Maybe a business arrangement can be conducted?" I asked with a sly look. Oh yeah, it was nice watching him suffer.
"Anything!!" He begged shaking his hands with his eyes closed, before he snapped them open. "Except for not coming to each and every one of the parties I'm throwing while mother's out of town," he added quickly before going back to his begging. What the— how'd he know?! I fumed in my seat thinking of something to say.
"I'll get back to you. Just don't piss me off until I think of something," I sighed furiously looking bored but really inside I was dancing. He was so cute when he begged. He merely nodded numbly before slamming the door and continued driving. "So does your mom know?" I smirked again.
"Sakura!" He whined while I just laughed.
--* Li Residence *--
"Oh I was beginning to think Syaoran had done something foolish to have gotten you angered with him," Yelan Li said to me, pulling away from the tight hug she was giving me.
"Nope, not this time Mrs. Li," I said with a bright smile.
"Now, Sakura. Didn't I tell you that you should call me mother like Syaoran does?" She said to me warmly once more. I nodded again with the same smile on her face. "I really do have to get going or else I'll miss my flight. Take good care of Syaoran while I'm gone. Bye you two." With those last rushed words, Mr. Yelan Li rushed out the door leaving me and Syaoran alone. Syaoran grinned at me while I stared at him with a cocked eyebrow. He was up to something again…
"You're definitely sleeping over tonight," Syaoran grinned.
"Nuh uh! No way in hell!! Touya won't let me," I protested. How the hell was I supposed to sleep in the same house/mansion as the guy I was in love with and not say something stupid?! I mean, way back when, when I was actually able to control what I was feeling, it was okay. But not now! It was then Syaoran took my hand and led me to where about three of my bags, of what I assumed were my clothes, sat. How the hell did he pull this off?! I merely just kept on looking from them to Syaoran, then back again. I couldn't find my voice to yell in disbelief!
"My mom talked to your dad last night. Everything's all set. Now help me get stuff out of the way for the party!" Syaoran cheered happily walking towards the kitchen taking out a beer which I quickly grabbed from his hand which was getting ready to take a swig.
"You're not drinking," I said in a sing-song voice as I took the opened beer and the other two cases of it away and threw them in the nearest dumpster. When I came back in, I saw Syaoran looking at the ground looking as if he was crying! "Syao?"
"Sakura, you're my best friend… and I love you and all. BUT YOU'RE ASS IS MINE!! YOU THREW OUT ALL OF MY BEER!!" Syaoran screeched at the top of his lungs before he lunged for me. Two words went through my head as I ran: Oh, shit.
--* At The Party *--
After Syaoran decided to hit me softly a few times in the arm and tickle me for a total of ten minutes, he let me go seeing that "my punishment was fit." Pshh, I didn't deserve any punishment whatsoever! Alcohol can do terrible things to your liver. Anyways, it's about 11:00 PM right now and I must say, I'm bored out of my mind. People brought their own liquor, but I was still making sure Syao didn't touch a drop. The few people who couldn't control their drinking were thrown out. The booming of the loud music soothed my nerves that were being grated at by the snobs people call cheerleaders. Sure, I'm one of them, but like I said, I hate them for the way they act towards people. Why not quit you ask? Team spirit leader looks great on a college application. I sat there with my coke, on the sofa, by myself, looking around. People were either kissing and feeling the hell out of each other or dancing and drinking. So that left me by myself. I thought that maybe Syaoran would have wanted help with things, but I guess that would happen after the party was done. At this I rolled my eyes and was about to go throw away the coke and go upstairs when a hand pulled me by my wrist, making me sit back down.
"Hey Sakura," a familiar annoying voice said to me. Oh. What joy I am experiencing at this moment. Not!
"What do you want Tai?" I asked with an exasperated tone.
"Well, you looked bored so I thought I'd come and entertain you," he yelled to me over the loud music with what seemed like a genuine smile. But I really wasn't sure. I mean… this is Tai Kishi, the same guy who's been bothering me and annoying me since the ninth grade. I looked at him skeptically making him throw up his hands in defense. "Really!"
"Alright then… what are you going to entertain me with?" I asked with a smirk.
"Well… I've always bothered and annoyed you, everyone knows that. But I was thinking that maybe we could get to know each other better," he yelled again as he stood up and held out a hand. I looked from the hand to Syaoran who was kissing up some cheerleader. I take my eye off of him for one minute and he gets drunk, only to start kissing some girl. What an idiot! THIS is the kind of guy I was in love with?! Dear God help me. Maybe what I needed was someone to help me get past my feelings for Syaoran. It was obvious Syaoran didn't see me in any other way other than his best friend. I looked back at Tai's hand then at his slightly smiling face. I smiled back at him and took the hand he had offered to me. I guess this was the best place to start.
To Be Continued…
