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?

From The Last Chapter:
The unthinkable for Sakura happened. Usually he would just hug her or something to make her be quiet. Or even flick her in the head so she'd blink a few times and forget what she was yelling for. But this time, something she had wished for years had happened. Syaoran swiftly grabbed her tensed shoulders and kissed her. Funny how now she wished she never made that wish in the first place now. She now fully understood the saying, be careful for what you wish for, you just might get it…
-- My Last Breath --
Chapter 4
Sakura stayed rooted to the spot as she felt Syaoran kiss her. She couldn't move, couldn't breathe.
'Oh God, how long have I waited for this? But what about Tai? He said he liked me and cared about me. And I really care about him now. And he was my first kiss after all too… Hoe… what the hell do I do?!' Sakura's mind screamed to her.
"Sakura?" Syaoran asked softly as he slightly bent his knees to meet her eye level. She was currently looking down, not knowing what to do or say.
"I-I have to go. I'll be back later," Sakura said quickly before she ran out the door.
"Sakura!" Syaoran called out for her, but she was already too far away. There was a reason why she was on the track team. "Well it looks like Plan A got screwed up," Syaoran muttered to himself. "I can't lose this bet!"
--* Sakura *--
"You have got to be kidding me!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed at the top of her lungs.
"I wish I was!" Sakura whined as she buried her face in a pillow. She ran all the way from Syaoran's place to Tomoyo's which wasn't that far, but far enough.
"And how many years have I been telling you that Li-kun has a thing for you?" Tomoyo smirked.
"What if it was all just some kind of joke Tomoyo? You know how Syaoran is," Sakura asked her friend biting her lower lip. A flash of a kind of look that was unrecognizable passed over Tomoyo's face, but vanished as quickly as it appeared.
"Don't be foolish Sakura! Yes, Syaoran can be quite the idiot sometimes, but he would never do that to you of all people," Tomoyo smiled with fake reassurance. 'Li Syaoran you moron!' Tomoyo frantically thought in her mind, but the turmoil was not evident on her face.
"I think I'll go get my things and go home. I really don't know what to do about this," Sakura sighed, standing up.
"I'll try and think of something okay Sakura0chan?" Tomoyo told her friend who was miserably making her way out the door. Once she saw her limo that was taking Sakura home, Tomoyo leaped for the phone. "Eriol-kun?"
"Hello Lovely, how are you?" Eriol spoke into the phone, referring to Tomoyo's nickname.
"Terrible! Tai kissed Sakura!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"How did Syaoran take it?" Eriol asked immediately.
"He kissed her too!" Tomoyo exclaimed once more, making Eriol chuckle. "And what may I ask is so funny?" Tomoyo asked in a strained voice.
"If Syaoran kissed her, that means he's jealous Lovely," Eriol's masculine voice spoke over the phone.
"But you know about the bet. Sakura's such a good person Eriol, she doesn't deserve any of this! Especially from him of all people!" Tomoyo yelled, crying slightly.
"Don't cry honey. Everything will work out for the best and Syaoran and Sakura will be together. Just like you've always wanted," Eriol said gently.
"Just like I've always wanted. I just don't want her getting hurt in the process," Tomoyo whispered.
--* At School The Next Day *--
"Hey Sakura," Tai said grinning to her, while she was at her locker.
"Uuhhh, I have to go bye," Sakura said quickly and immediately dashed off to her classroom. Tai raised an eyebrow at her antics, but shook his head and turned the combination for his locker.
"Strange girl… class doesn't start for another hour," he muttered taking out some binders and textbooks.
--* Inside the Class *--
The out of breath Sakura slumped down in her seat and out her bag on her desk.
"Sakura, we need to talk about yesterday," Syaoran said as he stood before her.
"Ummm… I have to pee," Sakura said desperately as she made a mad dash for the nearest washroom.
--* The Hallway *--
Sakura leaned against the bathroom stall, trying to catch her breath.
"Sakura?" A voice called as they stepped in.
"Hoe!! AM I SAFE NOWHERE?!" Sakura cried.
"Uhhh?" Tomoyo said as she appeared from around the corner.
"Thank God it's you!! I've seen them both in the last five minutes! And I don't wanna talk to either of them!" Sakura cried, obviously stressed.
"Clam down Sakura," Tomoyo said with a smile.
"Come up with any ideas?" Sakura asked hopefully.
"Actually, yes I have," Tomoyo said grinning.
"Well? Tell me already!" Sakura exclaimed happily.
"Well you're not officially anyone's girlfriend, so really you're free to go out with whom ever you please. And you've always like Syaoran, so this is just a plus," Tomoyo smiled.
"That's so true! Kami!! Thank-you so much Tomoyo-chan! You have no idea how much this helps me!" Sakura exclaimed happily once more, throwing her arms around her best friend and cousin.
'I really hope I'm helping you Sakura,' Tomoyo thought to herself solemnly as she hugged her friend back.
--* Later *--
Since the teacher wasn't present at the moment, kids were sitting on desks talking and laughing with one another, throwing paper balls here and there, and now and then actually hitting their target. Sakura walked down the hall with one of her friends Naoko, entering her calculus class, only to notice where the last spot was. Naoko had already run ahead to sit with her boyfriend. Sakura's eyes widened at the sight before her. There was a set of three seats. Tai, Syaoran and an empty seat… right in the middle of them. Two words came to Sakura's mind.
Oh Shit
Sakura slowly made her way to the seat and plopped herself down. Syaoran she could handle… she could handle Tai too… but at the same time?!?! I think not.
"Sakura," they both started at the same time, Syaoran with a frown and Tai with a smile. This caught the entire class' attention
"Yes Tai?" Sakura asked smiling shakily at him first.
"You want to get dinner and a movie with me tonight?" He asked with the same smile.
"Tai I—" Sakura answered… well was about to answer.
"Actually Sakura, I was hoping you would go out with me tonight," Syaoran cut her off.
"Syaoran I—" Sakura tried to answer again.
"Hey man, I asked her first," Tai said to him looking him square in the eye.
"I asked her second, so what?" Syaoran asked standing up.
"So what? So what if I introduce my first to your face?" Tai countered standing up as well.
"Okay you two just calm—" Sakura tried but was interrupted again.
"Yeah?" Syaoran asked walked in front of the desks.
"Yeah," Tai confirmed.
"We should take this outside then shouldn't we?" Syaoran spat, his face going up to Tai's.
"I guess we should," Tai said back to him, getting all up in Syaoran's face as well.
"Why don't you both sit your asses down and go out with each other!" Sakura cried as she picked up her things and moved to the back. The entire class broke out into whispers as Sakura made her way to the back of the classroom. She exchanged a few words with one another before a girl that was obsessed with both Tai and Syaoran, Saori, came and sat between the two of them, while Sakura sat at the back fuming while muttering curses in all the languages she knew.
"Well we screwed up," Syaoran muttered to Tai as he fell into his seat.
"Yup," Tai said as he too fell into his seat, trying to ignore the girl that sat between them. "I got with her Friday, you get her Saturday."
"Done." Was all Syaoran could say before the sensei walked into the classroom ready to teach the dreaded subject.
