Chapter 10 The Play:
The curtain slowly rose up and everyone on the stage began to immediately perform as the audience quietly sat in their seats watching intently.
The play was supposed to be about a group of teens that were different then any others. They were out of control and had no sense of following any rules at all. But later on after spending some time with each other they realize how they behave and act around people and slowly decide to change. They don't know exactly how they are though but find out in their own personal way. So, the whole point of the play is for them to change into better teens then they once were before.
Sakura looked at Syaoran still hurt about what Tomoyo had told her earlier. Syaoran just looked straight ahead, knowing her gaze was on him but was afraid to look at her. She noticed this and hung her head but rose again when it was her turn to talk. She walked up to her other classmates and started to perform. She was supposed to flirt with all the guys in the play all the time and act as if to her it was normal. Although it wasn't she was pretty good at pretending. She walked up to Syaoran and, of course started to work her magic.
"Hi, I'm new. You don't think that you could show me around later do you?" She asked in a seductive voice, putting her hand on his. He just smiled at her and said 'sure'. She winked at him and took a seat at her desk.
Sakura felt terrible. She didn't want to do this but she knew she had to. Keeping her eyes anywhere other then Syaoran she continued acting. Syaoran was a little confused though. He knew that she was acting but she was just so good at it that he figured that she actually thought that everything was alright and back to normal. It seemed like it but it wasn't.
"Okay, so as you all can see we have two new students joining our class. Michelle, Christina, please introduce yourselves." The "teacher" said. Sakura and Tomoyo walked up in front of the class and told them their names and a little about themselves as the boys eyed them, drool escaping the sides of their mouths.
"Hello, I'm Michelle, most of you might not like me once you get to know me. That's because I tend to get a little mean if you piss me off. But other then that, if you're nice to me then I can be your best friend, and I mean your BEST friend." Sakura said giving all the boys that sexy look of hers while playing with her hair.
"Hey, I'm Christina, me and Michelle are best friends so that means that we are a lot alike. We practically have the same attitude, same style, same taste in boys, that kind of stuff." She said looking around at all the gawking guys around her and Sakura. "We don't like being toyed with...unless we allow ourselves to be toyed with." She nudged Sakura and they both smirked as a few boys fell out of their seats.
"Okay, that's enough, go and sit back down. By the looks of it I think I'm going to have to keep a close eye on you two." The teacher said looking them up and down. They were wearing very revealing outfits. Shirts showing their belly buttons and skirts that barely hid anything. That's what made all the guys "accidentally" drop their pencils just to get a sneak peek.
Sakura and Tomoyo sat down at their desks and crossed their legs smiling at one another. It wasn't long either until they began talking amongst themselves. (I'm just going to call them by their real names so you guys wont get confused.)
"So Sakura, what are you planning to do after school today?" Tomoyo asked thoughtfully.
"Well, I was wondering if you and I could go do some dancing, meet some guys. Since were new here we can use that as an excuse to flirt with them." They both laughed at the thought but stopped when the teacher cut them off.
"Excuse me, I know that back at your school they might let you talk whenever you please but here you have to pay attention. I'm sorry but I don't appreciate it when students don't let me teach." Sakura and Tomoyo just looked at one another and said as politely as possible to him:
"Well actually, back at our other school they didn't allow us to talk either, we just didn't give a crap and kept on doing it."
"Yeah, that's probably one of the other reasons they kicked us out." Tomoyo said, adding to Sakura's little speech.
"They kicked you out?" He said walking to their desks.
"Yep, they sure did. And besides, that school just wasn't cool enough to stay in anyways." Tomoyo answered politely, fluttering her long lashes. He just cleared his throat and walked back up to the board, scribbling down some words that the class was supposed to write down. He figured that the two would stop talking but boy was he wrong.
"So anyways, Tomoyo what do you think about..."
"Please don't interrupt while I'm teaching girls." The teacher politely said turning around. But Sakura just waved him off without caring what would happen.
"We're talking about something important, so WE would appreciate it if YOU wouldn't interrupt us. So anyways..." The teacher's eyes widened at the two of them who just began chatting away, fully aware that everyone in the class was looking at them, including blue and brown eyes.
"Excuse me? You have no right to talk to me in that manner. You two just got here, you wouldn't like it if I called your parents and told them how the both of you are behaving would you?" He asked with his hands on their desks. They just looked at him and shrugged their shoulders then Tomoyo spoke up.
"Well, honestly, we don't really care if you do or not since our parents don't give a shit at all about where we are, what we do, or what happens with us. All they care about is that were not in the house bothering them." She said calmly. The teacher was getting very annoyed by their attitude and was about to send them away when the lunch bell rang. Everyone stood up and began their way out of the classroom completely ignoring the two girls and the teacher.
"Well, I'm deeply sorry Mr....?" Sakura cut in, grabbing her backpack.
"Call me sensei. I think that the both of you would be perfect when coupled with my two other students. They happen to be males and act exactly like you, that's probably why I'm not blowing up like I should be because I'm used to this behavior. But believe me girls." He said leaning in closer to them. "I do not take shit from students like you at all and I am not an easy teacher to deal with if you get on my bad side. So take in mind this friendly advice, either listen and be good well behaved students, or you'll find yourselves flunking this class and being suspended a numerous number of times." He then straightened up with a serious look on his reddened face.
"Uhh...ok... can we go now SENSEI?" Sakura said smartly. Her and Tomoyo really didn't hear what he was saying, they did, but it just went in one ear and out the other. He rubbed his temples and ushered them to go and leave him in peace. ................................................................................................................
Sakura and Tomoyo disappeared behind the back curtain to get ready for the next scene.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo called to her. No answer. "Sakura, you alright?" Sakura then looked up and smiled lightly in response.
"Yeah, I'm fine. This play is so boring and not to mention stupid. I have to end up with Syaoran and you have to end up with Eriol. To tell you the truth I think this whole play is a complete waste of time." Sakura sat down on a stool and leaned her head against the hard wall.
"So does everyone else Sakura but you don't physically see them complaining. Come on you can do better then this. Just hold on a bit longer and it'll be over before you know it." Tomoyo walked to the curtain since it was almost time to go back out again.
"No it wont, you watch this is going to last forever, for me at least. I have to flirt with Syaoran, Eriol and every other guy out there. Do you think this is easy for me? Well, it's not Tomoyo and I don't want to do this anymore." She crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Tomoyo sadly.
"Well there's nothing I can do Sakura, you know that if there was, I would do something about it, but there isn't so stop whining. Come on." Tomoyo held out a hand for Sakura to grab. "It's fine Sakura, take deep breathes and you'll go through this perfectly." Sakura took a hold of her soft hands and stood up. Tomoyo was always so positive about things, why couldn't she be a little more moody? It didn't really matter to Sakura though. Tomoyo's happiness and cheerfulness made her feel a lot better when she was frustrated which was good since she was frustrated a lot lately.
They looked out into the stage. Everything seemed to be going as planned...for the teacher anyways. Sakura looked around and saw Syaoran standing on the other side of the stage. The next scene would be with him, Tomoyo, Eriol, and her. A small shiver crept down Sakura's spine. The next scene would be when she had to walk with Syaoran and do some flirting. She took Tomoyo's advice and took a few deep breaths and walked out onto the stage once again. ................................................................................................................
"So, how do you like the school so far?" A male voice asked from behind Sakura. She whirled around and smiled sexily at him.
"It sucks." She said easily. He just looked at her and smirked. Do you know who I am?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Sakura turned around and met his amber eyes and smiled again, moving closer to his strong frame.
"No, I believe I don't, but I would like to." She trailed a finger down his chest and he caught it, making her look up at him.
"I bet you would. Listen, this school is pretty big so would you like me to show you around now?"
"Sure, why not. And by the way you never did tell me your name." She said starting to walk away from him. He shortly followed after her.
"My name is Syaoran." Syaoran said walking behind her. Sakura twirled around and looked at him once again. (Like with Sakura and Tomoyo I'm going to call him by his real name so you wont get confused.)
"What a suitable name for such a..." she looked down and then back up, taking in a breath that sounded more like a moan. "Big boy." She finished, quirking an eyebrow and continued walking towards the school. He looked down and then smiled at her humor but deep inside this was turning him on a lot. Her acting was just so realistic that he didn't know what she really felt anymore. He had to tell her today about how he felt towards her. If he didn't he might lose her forever.
"Come on, your slow." Sakura yelled out to him and he followed. They then vanished behind the curtain when Tomoyo and Eriol came out for their part. ................................................................................................................
"Why hello there, where might your friend be." Eriol said, taking a seat next to Tomoyo at the bench.
"She's not here." She answered taking a bite of a sandwich. He put a foot up on the bench and rested his arm on his knee.
"I can see that, since you're obviously alone. So, what do you think?" He said giving her a half smile.
There was so much rage in Tomoyo at the moment but did really well as to not show it. She still hadn't got back at him for doing what he did to Sakura and herself and oh how she wanted to. She felt like knocking the living crap out of him at that moment, now that he was in clear shot in front of her.
"I think that you're very cute to tell you the truth." She said biting her lower lip seductively. Eriol put his leg down and leaned in closer to her.
"I meant about the school." He whispered still smiling. They were inches away from each other and Tomoyo was absolutely glad that this wasn't the part where she had to kiss him. She really didn't want to, let alone do it at all.
"Yeah I know." She then got up and made her way to the bathrooms when he grabbed her arm.
"You're a pretty one, and a smart one at that. Listen do you want to get a drink sometime?" He let go of her.
"No thanks, but I have to keep a look out for other handsome guys like yourself. I want to see what variety is out there before I make my choice. But maybe, if there is no one out there with my taste. Bye bye." She said waving him off. He watched as she went into the bathroom and then walked behind the curtain. ................................................................................................................
Before Eriol Came:
Sakura and Syaoran just sat patiently behind the curtain. They didn't look at each other as well as talk.
'I have to tell her and now is the perfect moment to do so.' He thought standing up. Sakura eyed him suspiciously but ignored him as he proceeded towards her.
"Sakura. I need to tell you something, and I need to explain to you about what happened at the club." He stopped a few feet away from her and waited for an answer.
"There's no reason to explain Li, Tomoyo told me everything, no need to waste your breath." She said coldly. Syaoran took a seat next to her as she scooted away from him.
"She doesn't know the whole story Sakura so that's why I'm going to tell you now. Please hear me out, if you don't want to then you don't have to. I just want you to know the truth before you go taking me the wrong way." Sakura just sat there silently and then mouthed 'okay' while looking at him. He smiled and opened his mouth to speak when Eriol cam in from the stage, signaling them to go out, Tomoyo seconds after him.
"What are you two doing?" He said warningly. He walked up to Sakura and put an arm around her. Sakura cringed at his touch. Syaoran noticed this and opened his mouth to say something about it when Tomoyo cut in. "It's none of your business and besides they have to go out now." She grabbed Sakura's hand and pushed her out onto the stage along with Syaoran.
"What's up Tomoyo, you seem a bit on the down side today." Eriol said peeking out of the curtain to watch them perform.
"Your what's up Eriol." She said hotly.
"Oh? So you were thinking about me?" He turned around to face Tomoyo with his familiar snicker on his pale face.
"Don't flatter yourself Hiiragizawa. Why do you like her so much? She hates you, cant you see that?"
"Correction." Eriol said raising a finger. "She HATED me, she loves me now." He sat down where Sakura and Syaoran had been sitting before.
"Pfft. That what you think." She said under her breath. Eriol looked up, not catching what she had said.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, just shut the crap up, I'm not in the mood to talk to you." She looked out at Sakura and Syaoran when she noticed Eriol standing in front of her, blocking her view of them.
"Are you jealous?"
"Are you serious? I wouldn't be jealous over you if you were surrounded by all the girls in this school in fact I would be disgusted and completely dumbfounded about why those girls would be groping over you. I see no reason why they would be in the first place." She said throwing her hands up in the air. Eriol just walked closer up to her with the same smirk on his face.
"Do you remember those times we had Tomoyo...in your house?" Tomoyo blushed crimson red at his words.
"No, I don't."
"Oh but I think you do, by the looks of your cheeks I think that your lying to me." Tomoyo blushed again as he made his way towards her.
"So what if I do, they were nothing special."
"Oh I'm hurt deeply by those words Tomoyo. So you're saying that you don't think this was special?" He emphasized the word 'this' as he grabbed Tomoyo somewhere making her gasp. She closed her eyes and leaned in to whisper into his ear.
"You are a piece of shit. You have no respect for women at all. And to tell you the truth, those nights were nothing but mere games for me that I didn't mind winning at all." She seethed into his ear, as he remained silent. She removed his hand and walked to the other side of the stage, watching once again Sakura and Syaoran. ................................................................................................................
"And this is the amphitheatre. We do lots of...stuff here at night." Syaoran cleared his throat and Sakura looked at him thoughtfully.
"Exactly what kind of stuff do you do here?" She stepped around it looking around as Syaroan watched her elegant body move, swaying from side to side as she walked.
"Well...I guess you'll have to find out what it is yourself if you're curious. But I'll tell you what other things this crappy school does."
"Oh do tell." Sakura said, curiously looking around the amphitheatre.
"Well we have dances, with voluntary singers or performers. It gets pretty exciting out here, you'll have to check it out sometime." Syaoran moved behind Sakura about to grab her from behind but didn't for she turned around. He doubled back when she came walking towards him and found himself against a wall, Sakura a few feet away from him.
"I still don't really know you that well Syaoran, and like I said, I'd like to."
But you just met me Sakura, you wouldn't want to give me the wrong impression?" He said moving closer to her.
"How would you know that? Maybe I just might want to give you the wrong impression, that way I can get what I want. I always get what I want." They were centimeters away from each other with Sakura holding onto his shirt, making her way up to his lips. This was the part where they were supposed to kiss...or at least almost.
The lunch bell rang again telling them that they were supposed to go to class but it didn't seem to phase the two as they continued what they were about to do.
"The bell has rung in case you haven't noticed. Go to class...now." A campus supervisor said menacingly. Sakura turned her head to say something but Syaoran put his hand over her mouth and answered for her instead.
"How about no? In case YOU haven't noticed we were in the middle of something when you rudely snuck up on us." Sakura nodded her head in agreement as the supervisor took out his walky-talky and consulted one of the office workers.
"You two are to go to the office right now. You're going home early and since it's Friday, will not be coming to school on Monday. Do you hear?"
"Yep we hear you loud and clear Mister." Sakura said playfully. Her and Syaoran made their way to the office and sat down in one of the chairs outside.
"You're nasty, you know that?" Syaoran said looking at Sakura.
"Sweetie, you have no idea." She licked her lips, which made Syaoran even more turned on then he already was. They then took a seat in the principles office silently. Syaoran, in a humorous mood leaned over to Sakura and whispered into her ear although he wasn't supposed to since it wasn't in the script.
"Does this bring back any memories?" Sakura remembered the one time that her, Syaoran, and Meiling were in the office for being totally stupid in class. That was where Sakura chewed out Meiling. She smiled at the memory and looked at Syaoran but then quickly put on a frown remembering what was really going on.
'She looks so beautiful when she smiles, I really miss them. I haven't seen a real smile like that one in a long time.' Syaoran thought to himself as he stared at her luscious lips.
"Why it's you again Syaoran, I was wondering when I would see you again, I was thinking that I would see you yesterday but you're here today. So...what did you do this time...and with this young lady? Never mind don't answer that, I have a pretty good idea already." The principle said knowingly. Sakura giggled in her chair and Syaoran smiled.
"Well, this time I didn't do anything bad...at least not in the way you're thinking." He glanced at Sakura who was still giggling, biting her finger playfully.
"Okay, well I guess that you cussed out another teacher again?" Syaoran shook his head yes and smiled. "This is no matter to smile about. If you keep doing stuff like this then you're going to find yourself at a different school."
"I don't care, I hate this school anyways." Syaoran folded his arms and put his foot up on his desk.
"Off the desk." Boomed the principle and Syaoran took it down again. "So, what are you waiting for, go home already, you've already heard my speeches, no need to say them again." Sakura and Syaoran both got up when suddenly Syaoran stopped.
"I have a question for you, if you don't mind. Next week there's a dance, are we still able to go or..."
"Yeah the both of you will still be able to go just don't screw it up for yourselves. Behave like you're supposed to and you'll get to go, if you don't then you'll be at home doing some extra homework." Syaoran saluted him and then left the office with Sakura. Once again they went behind the curtain and Eriol and Tomoyo stepped out. ................................................................................................................
"Anyways, I was about to say something to you about the club." Syaoran said sighing deeply. Sakura listened quietly as he began to talk. "Sakura, I went to the club to have a few drinks so I could forget about the conversation we had. I wanted to have a few drinks so everything would just...disappear...I didn't think it would go that far." Syaoran paced the room, twiddling with is fingers as he spoke to her. As for Sakura, she was very interested in what he was saying and wanted him to get to the point.
"As soon as I got there, I saw a few of my pals from school and we started to talk and they bought me a few drinks. One led to another and I was drunk. I then bumped into a woman and we seemed to hit it off but...I guess...she liked me and so she...started...we started...to do stuff." Syaroan tried to say these words but with much difficulty as he scratched the back of his head. Sakura looked at him letting him know that she wanted to know more about his little incident. He noticed this and continued. "We did stuff and we danced. Then before I knew it I was in my car driving us to her place. Then...
"Hey, you're on now. Lets go." One of the other classmates said waving his hand towards the stage. Sakura just looked at Syaoran and they both irritatingly walked out. ................................................................................................................
"Psst...Tomoyo." Eriol whispered to Tomoyo with a note in his hand. She looked up and saw the note being passed down to her. She took it in her hands and opened it curiously.
So, I'm just wondering, but what do you have planned tonight? I'm not doing anything so I figured you and I could go on a date or something. Please say yes. Pass this not back to me afterwards.
Tomoyo smiled at the note then looked at Eriol who was looking at her in hope of her answer. She blew him a kiss and then crumpled the note up in her hand, shaking her head okay. Eriol threw a punch in the air happily and continued working on the paper that was in front of him.
"Okay, school is over in about 5 minutes, please get packed up and leave as soon as the bell rings." Their teacher said.
Ring! (the real bell didn't ring, just the one in the play)
The whole class got up and left except for Eriol and Tomoyo, they stayed behind.
"Eriol, may I suggest something we can do on our date?" She said sweetly, fluttering her eyelashes again.
"Yeah, I was wondering if we could go and watch a movie."
"Yeah! I want to go and see a movie too. I want to see that one with those teens who fall in love." Tomoyo clasped her hands to her cheeks dreamily. She leaned in towards him, putting a hand on his cheek. "Don't you want to see that one too?" She said making him blush.
"Uh...sure why not. After we can go and hang out somewhere I guess."
"That sounds great Eriol. Pick me up at 8 okay?" She pecked him on the cheek and left, swaying her butt from side to side. Syaoran and Sakura then came out from behind the stage.
"So Eriol, from the looks of it I say that you and Tomoyo are hitting it off alright?" Syaoran said sitting next to him.
"Yeah, were going on a date tonight at the movies."
"Really? I think I should take Sakura there too." Syaoran said putting a hand under his chin.
"You and Sakura hitting it off too? Cool, maybe we can double date...that is if she says she'll go." They both stood up and walked out of the classroom still talking as they made their way out to the back of the stage once again.
"Sakura, do you like that one Syaoran guy, he seems nice." Tomoyo asked talking with Sakura in the front of the staged school.
"Yeah he seems juicy enough."
"Sakura!" Tomoyo giggled and nudged her playfully. "Listen Eriol and I are going to see a movie tonight, you should come with Syaoran." She said standing up.
"Sure, don't tell Syaoran though I want it to be a surprise. Tell him that I can't make it or something."
"The two of you seem to like each other a lot. Sure I'll make something up for you. Who knows, maybe the both of you will become a little more acquainted, if you catch my drift." Sakura smiled and they both made their way to the back of the stage. ................................................................................................................
"You were saying something Li?" Sakura said reminding him about the conversation they were having.
"Oh...well...I can't tell you yet since Tomoyo and Eriol are here. We have to be all alone." Syaoran said fidgeting.
"Whatever, I don't care." Sakura waved him off as she sat down in her earlier spot. She wanted to know what really happened in the club, maybe nothing really happened. The way Tomoyo had told her made it sound like he went all berserk and went out laying any woman he could find but hopefully he would tell her sooner or later. Sakura and Syaoran remained silent while Eriol and Tomoyo wwere bickering in the corner trying to not draw attention to themselves.
"Would you leave me alone!" Tomoyo whispered to Eriol. He wouldn't leave her alone. He wanted to find out if she was jealous or not.
"Admit it Tomoyo, you're jealous that I'm with Sakura now and not with you. You miss all those times that we fooled around in your room and..."
Smack!
"How dare you! I am not jealous, I am anything but jealous you obnoxious freak. Leave me alone or you'll find yourself with one less ball then you have now, got it?" Tomoyo said threateningly. Eriol protectively held his balls and mouthed an 'ow' at the thought before beginning to talk again.
"Fine, believe what you want, but you're jealous. Sakura loves me now, even though you say that she hates me. If she did then why were we makin out on my desk that day? If she hated me then she wouldn't have done that." Tomoyo felt like blurting everything out to him about Sakura's little plan and about how much she despised him. It took a lot of strength not to do it, but she held it back. Instead she just walked over to Sakura and sat down next to her.
"This play is almost over. It's close to the part where we're supposed to see the movie. Thank god too, I can't stand this anymore. Eriol is bugging the hell out of me. I know this might sound a little stupid but can you do something to him so he can leave me alone for the rest of the play?" Tomoyo asked pleadingly with pulsing eyes.
"Hell, freaking no Tomoyo, I have to deal with him enough, besides you're supposed to be the one helping him stay away from me ne?"
"Well, yeah but...have Syaoran do something." Tomoyo said excitedly.
"No. just deal with it Tomoyo, like you said this play is almost over then you can run away from him and never have to see his face again...till tomorrow." Sakura smiled as Tomoyo grunted angrily.
"Whatever Sakura. You have to go on now with Syaoran. The next scene is the movie scene sooo yeah. Go." Sakura got up and went out to the theatre. ................................................................................................................
"Hey Sakura, do you want to go and watch a movie with me tonight? I know we just met and all but it would make my day if you said yes." Syaoran said with puppy eyes. Sakura stopped walking and thought for a moment before she answered.
"Why should go?."
"Well I would like to get to know you better...a lot better." He said, getting hard in certain places. She licked her lips seductively.
"Sure I'll go. Pick me up tonight around 7 or 8 okay?"
"Alright!" Sakura screamed a scream of surprise and blushed when Syaoran pinched her butt. Even though it was part of the script to do that she just couldn't help but blush at his actions. She quickly turned away from him so he wouldn't see her red cheeks.
"What was that?" Sakura asked rubbing the pinch.
"I'm sorry I just couldn't control myself Sakura. Anyways I'll pick you up at 8."
"You better be careful about what you do or I might just not be able to control what I do to you." Sakura said. Syaoran took a moment to think it through his head what she meant and then turned red.
"And what will you do to me?" he said taking hold of her arm. She turned around and got agonizingly close to his face then whispered to him.
"That's for me to know, and you to find out, Syaoran-Kun" Syaoran stumbled at her words and began to work up a thin sweat. He then watched as she walked away from him breathless.
"Is it hot out here or is it just me?" He asked. Sakura turned around and blew him a kiss.
"It's just you." She answered and continued her way to the curtain. Syaoran caught the flying kiss and put it in his pocket for safe keeping then hurried to the curtain as well. ................................................................................................................
"Your turn Tomoyo, Eriol." Sakura called out to the two who were avoiding each other. Eriol still holding himself, afraid of what Tomoyo had said and Tomoyo sitting alone far away from Eriol, afraid of him coming anywhere near her. "I said it's your turn to go." They both looked up and left leaving Sakura and Syaoran once again alone. Syaoran then began to continue his speech once again.
"Sakura, as soon as I got to her house I then realized that I didn't want to be there, I wanted to be with someone else." Syaoran clenched his fists nervously, hoping that Sakura would know what he meant.
"Who would that be?" She asked extremely curious. She was crossing her fingers behind her back hoping that the words that would come out of his mouth were the ones that she wanted to hear.
"Sakura. Later in the play I'm supposed to perform for your character. Just take in mind that what I do is what I really feel." Sakura just looked at him totally confused by his words. She didn't know what he meant.
"Can you please say that again? What do you mean by that and what are you going to be doing?" Syaoran just sat down on the opposite chair of Sakura and bowed his head, covering his eyes with his hair. Tomoyo and Eriol then came back. Tomoyo was flushed and angry while on the other hand Eriol was laughing.
"Whats wrong Tomoyo?" Sakura asked worriedly.
"Don't ask." Tomoyo said flatly and sat down while Eriol leaned against the wall at a loss for breath. She then looked up at him seething.
"I hope you die and burn in hell for what you just did." She said then turned around facing the other way of Eriol who just laughed harder at her. ................................................................................................................
"Now this is the scene where the two couples go to the movies. Were going to skip the part where Syaoran and Eriol pick up the girls so we can get to the point." The real teacher said before leaving to sit back in the audience again. The crowd was so into the play they all stared at the students as they acted, their eyes as shiny as porcelain.
Sakura and Syaoran sat in the back of the "theatre", Tomoyo and Eriol in the row in front of them. They were all supposed to get into the moment and kiss but, again, not for real. (that's later on)
"Eriol, how romantic can this movie be? I would love for someone to kiss me like that." Tomoyo said, quickly getting his attention. He smartly put his arm around her as he leaned in for the kiss. But while he was doing that, Syaoran in the row above him was also trying to get to Sakura's romantic side with a kiss.
"Sakura." He whispered softly. Her ears perked up and she moaned to him in response. "Isn't this movie a little mushy?" Sakura looked at him with a fake frown on her face.
"You don't like this mushy stuff Syaoran-Kun?" She gave him her puppy eyes with her bottom lip pushed out sadly. He looked down at her lips.
'God, I can't take it anymore. So many times we have come so close to kissing but never got the chance to. I need to touch her lips before I go completely insane.' Syaoran thought but quickly revived himself and focused on his lines.
"No I do, it's just that now that I watch this movie it's got me thinking about something. Those teens are just like us. They don't listen or behave and the people around them are just...shocked and appalled by their behaviors."
"Yeah, just think, if we were in their spot then I guess that we would be shocked as well. I wouldn't want other teens acting that way around me at all." Sakura said. She looked up into his eyes and they very slowly leaned in for a kiss. Syaoran just moved his head in front of Sakura so no one in the crowd could see if they were actually kissing or not, same with Tomoyo and Eriol. But the more they looked at each other the more Syaoran got the urge to move in on her. Just then the curtain closed so they could change into different outfits for the next scene of the play. Everyone got up; even the extras that were playing ordinary people got up to change.
Syaoran and Sakura remained the way they were, just looking at each other. Sakura's heart was pounding as well as Syaoran's and as much as Sakura wanted this, she didn't let anything happen. She looked at him then moved away, standing up and leaving for Tomoyo who had her outfit already waiting for her.
"Thanks Tomoyo." She said as Tomoyo handed her the material.
"Are you ready Sakura, the play is almost over."
"Yeah I sure am. I just want to get home and sleep." Tomoyo smiled and they both went to dress. ................................................................................................................
"Now this scene is where Tomoyo and Eriol get into a fight and begin hitting on the other two to get back at eachother. But what will happen if somebody takes this the wrong way?" Another announcement was made throughout the actual theatre, making everyone antsy just sitting in their seats. By this time the curtain raised again to begin the next scene.
"Tomoyo, I need to talk with you." Eriol said motioning for her to come to him with his finger. She stood up and walked over to him.
"What is it?"
"Um, I was wondering. Next week is the dance right and there's this one girl who likes me." Tomoyo rose her eyebrows, anticipating his next words. "And she asked me to go to the dance with her, would you get mad if I told you that I said yes to her?" Tomoyo snorted in dismay.
"Of course I would get mad at you! You're supposed to go to the dance with me not some other bimbo. You and I are going out, it's supposed to be you and me together at the dance!"
"Well, I already told her I would go, I hope that you aren't that pissed off at me." Eriol twiddled with his fingers as he said this.
"Do you have any sort of brains in your head at all? You're going with me and that's that." Tomoyo said raising her nose in the air. Eriol was irritated. Who was she to tell him what to do and not to do? He was going to go to the dance with that girl if he wanted to and Tomoyo wasn't going to sop him.
"Well if that's your attitude then I'm going to go to the dance with her then." Tomoyo whirled around outraged.
"No, you're not."
"Watch me." He said coolly and walked off in the other direction towards a girl with short red air. He started talking to her, taking small glances back at Tomoyo from time to time when he realized she wasn't there. ................................................................................................................
Next Scene:
"Hi Syaoran. Tomoyo said walking up behind him. He turned around and smiled as he kindly said 'hi' to her.
"What's up Tomoyo?" They began to walk down the hall.
"You." She said and before he knew it he found himself against the wall.
'What are you doing?" He said moving out of her grasp surprised.
"I'm hitting on you, that's what." She began to follow him, her gaze still on him.
"Why. Funny Tomoyo, this is a joke right?"
"No joke Syaoran, this is real. I like you so I'm going to get you."
"That's what you think, why are you acting so weird, sexy, but weird?" Syaoran was walking backwards, not being able to see what was behind him.
"I'm just in the mood to have a little fun and that's exactly what I think Syaoran." She said, answering both of his questions. And little did they know that Sakura was moments away from walking up behind them.
"What are you going to do about it hm?" Tomoyo asked, still pursuing Syaoran.
"I'm going to keep you away from me that's what."
"No, you're going to try and keep me away from you." She said and she flung herself at him, embracing him in a rough kiss just as Sakura appeared from the corner. She dropped her books at the sight she was looking at, making Tomoyo and Syaoran stop the lip lock. Syaoran turned around and looked at the both of them, pushed Tomoyo off of him and ran towards Sakura.
"Sakura, this isn't what it looks like." He grabbed her arm but she jerked away. She just looked at him with a menacing finger in his face as if saying, 'don't come near me' and ran off with her face in her hands. Syaoran turned to look at Tomoyo who just shrugged and walked away. She did feel terrible, but she just wanted to get back at Eriol so badly she didn't think before she acted.
Sakura ran to the lunch tables and sobbed into her hands when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Eriol and tried her best to stop crying.
"Hi, what's up Eriol?" She wiped her cheek softly with the back of her hand. Eriol walked around to the other side of the table and sat down.
"Why are you crying?" He asked softly.
"I saw Syaoran kissing Tomoyo, and she's my best friend I can't believe she would do this to me." Sakura's voice quivered but then she looked up with flames in her eyes. "And Syaoran, he is done for. I hate him, and with my best friend too, he has some nerve." And with that she got up as the curtain closed again so they could get ready for the last scene of the play. ................................................................................................................
"Do you know what Syaoran is going to be doing this next scene?"
"No I don't."
"Oh ok, just wondering."
"Do you think it's something big Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"I think it is, Syaoran told me something weird about him performing." Sakura looked herself over in the old abandoned mirror in the back of the stage. A few moments later Tomoyo walked over to the mirror too, admiring her bodacious body.
"This is really getting on my nerves, I look terrible, I feel terrible, this whole night is terrible. I want to go home." Sakura whined stomping on the ground.
"You look fine, you'll feel better soon, and I know this night sucks but it's all over in about 10 more minutes Sakura don't worry." Sakura sigh as Tomoyo continued talking.
"And I don't think that what Syaoran is going to do is anything to jump about, besides he's not worth it Sakura he's skum, nothing but skum." They walked out and back to the stage, the curtain still closed. Sakura looked up and saw Syaoran standing on the pretend amphitheatre with a microphone in his hand.
"Oh my God." Sakura said. She had no idea that Syaoran was going to sing in the play, she had no freaking clue at all. She ran over to Tomoyo and whispered into her ear about Syaran's performance. While whispering Tomoyo's eyes widened, she twirled around to look at Syaoran who was nervously playing with the cord of the microphone and smiled mischievously, hoping that he would screw up and make a fool out of himself.
"Okay, everyone get ready, after the teacher makes this last speech we're going to begin." A student said from behind the curtain. Everyone nodded and gathered around Syaroan and the band behind him. This was going to be the scene of the dance and Syaroan was supposed to win back Sakura's love with a romantic song. But no one knew except for him that the song that he was going to try and sing was really how he felt for Sakura.
"Ok, the play is almost over so this is the last scene that you will be seeing. I hoped that all of you enjoyed this as much as I did." Sensei made his final announcement and went behind the curtain to motion everyone to start. The curtain went up and Syaoran stood with the microphone in his hand looking extremely nervous. He glanced at Sakura and smiled for the best as the music played in the background. He raised the microphone to his mouth and began to sing with an amazingly good voice. Sakura watched him as he sang, his lips moving slowly. ................................................................................................................
"There's something 'bout the way,
You look tonight.
There's something about the way that,
I can't take my eyes off you.
There's something about the way,
Your lips invite.
Maybe it's the way that,
I get nervous when you're around.
Sakura sat in her chair remembering what he had told her before. What he would do in this performance was really how he felt. Was it towards her? She just listened to the flow of the song wondering.
And I want you to be mine,
And if you need a reason why,
Chorus
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
It's in the way that you hold me,
And the way that you know me,
And when I can't find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way.
End of chorus
Oh, you feel it in the way...
There's something 'bout how you steal the mind,
There's something 'bout the way that...
I whisper your name when I'm asleep oh girl!
Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes,
Oh, maybe it's the way that...makes me feel to see you smile.
Sakura realized that what he was singing was about her. Then it hit her. Syaoran did love her, and he told her that through this song. She stood up, making her way towards him. Tomoyo looked at her curiously but remained seated as she watched Sakura walk towards the band.
And the reasons, they may change,
But what I'm feeling stays the same!
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
Tonight...
It's in the way that you hold me,
And the way that you know me,
And when I can't find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way.
Oh!
You feel it in the way...
I can't put my fingers on,
Just what it is that makes me, love you, you baby.
So don't ask me to describe,
I get all choked up inside,
Just thinkin' about the way...
The way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight, oh!
It's in the way that you hold me,
And the way that...
The way you know me,
When I can't find the right words to say.
...I feel it in the way...
Sakura stopped halfway to look at Syaoran, her heart was skipping beats just looking at him. Now she knew that he loved her, it was so clear. Making her know that what he was saying was the truth, he stepped down from the amphitheatre and made his way to her, with tears in her eyes. He walked up to her and put his hand on her waist, pulling her closer to him.
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way!
...I feel it in the way...
There's something 'bout the way you look tonight...
There's nothing more to say then...I feel it in the way."
Syaoran then kissed Sakura passionately when the song ended. She put her hands on his chest, leaning against him to strengthen the kiss, the curtains then slowly closed signaling the end of the play. ................................................................................................................
The whole audience applauded wildly showing how much they enjoyed the play. They stood up in their seats, Sakura and Syaoran still behind the curtain. They broke the kiss, looking into each other's eyes. Sakura then realized what had just happened and turned around facing the other way embarrassed. Syaoran was blushing but smiled at her shyness.
"Wonderful work you two!" The teacher clapped as he made his way to them. "I never really thought that the both of you would actually kiss but it's good that you did, that just made the play even more exciting, wonderful job. Obviously the both of you get an A." He then turned around practically skipping and disappeared from sight. Seconds later everyone surrounded them also congratulating them on their work.
"Wow Sakura, you did great!"
"Syaoran was so awesome we need to do some more plays like this!"
"I wish I was as good as you two, I need an A in this class."
Syoaran and Sakura just barely escaped the students, making their way out of the theatre. Sakura didn't look at Syaoran at all as they walked side by side. Syoaran was going to say something to break the silence but someone interrupted them.
"Sakura!" Sakura turned around and saw Eriol walking up to her, taking her into his arms. "That was great, you were great. But why did you have to kiss Li? Now you have to wash your mouth out as soon as possible, I don't want to get his spit in my mouth." He shot Syaoran a nasty glare while saying this.
"And why will she need to do that?" Syaoran asked stepping up to him angrily.
"For when I do this." Sakura looked at him shocked as he kissed her roughly. When it ended Sakura pulled away speechless but didn't look at anything except for her shoes. Syaoran just stood there shooting daggers at Eriol who was doing the same.
"Why don't you leave her alone, don't you see she doesn't like you?" Syaoran walked up closer to Eriol, getting in his face.
"And why would you think that, just because you got your sticky paws on her and got a tiny little taste of her doesn't mean she likes you. And you better cherish that moment because it's never going to happen again." Eriol said calmly, staring directly into his eyes. Syaoran was so upset that he didn't think before he acted and pushed him really hard into a trashcan behind him. Eriol got up after falling and went back to push Syaoran who just punched him in return. Sakura screamed and got in the middle of the two, separating them from their all out brawl.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Don't do this while I'm around, do it when I'm gone. I can't stand this, I'm leaving." She turned around and took one last glance at Eriol who was going to follow her. "Eriol, if you really want me to be your girlfriend then listen to me and grow up, I don't need this shit from you or you." She said pointing to Syaroan. She then turned around and left the two alone, Syaoran made his way towards his car, saying a few words to Eriol along the way.
"There's no need to follow me I won't go talking to your GIRL, so keep your pants on there's no reason to shit a brick." Eriol just stared at him as he walked away. No one talked to him that way, no one, and Syaoran getting on his nerves didn't help how he felt about him either. ................................................................................................................
"Sakura, hold on. Do you need a ride?" Syaoran didn't do what he had told Eriol and went to talk to her anyways, after what had happed a few moments ago he wasn't going to let this perfect moment go to waste.
"No I'm fine trust me." She looked at him and smiled sweetly. No one could stay mad at him for long. Well, not any girl that is.
"Come on, I insist on taking you home Sakura." She just looked at his face and gave in just like that. She didn't know why she gave in so easily, it was probably the way he was looking at her or the vibe that the two of them were sharing but all the better they were now going to ride in the same car with the same awkward silence as before. Sakura nodded shortly and Syaoran smiled. He ran to his car and opened the door for her as she got in. Again he ran over to the other side and hopped in as well, this time staring at her before starting the car.
"What is it Syaoran?" Sakura said blushing slightly.
"So you're finally calling me by my first name again?" Sakura opened her mouth to say something back but didn't have the right words at the moment. Syaoran noticed this and drove off. It was about 11 at night and the rest of the ride wasn't so interesting, they didn't say a word to each other at all until they got to the front of Sakura's house.
"Umm, thanks for the ride Syaoran." Sakura looked at him and smiled before she got out of the car. She didn't want to bring up the kiss at the play because it would lead to an uncomfortable or disturbing conversation.
Syaoran watched her walk towards her front door quietly. He had his hand on his keys ready to drive off when he remembered that he had to tell her about what really happened at the club.
"Sakura, wait I need to tell you something." He said running up to her. She turned around and watched as he ran to her looking, slightly surprised. "Sakura, about the club. It wasn't entirely my fault." He started. Sakura rolled her eyes remembering about that problem and interrupted him.
"Syoaran, don't make up stories to hide the truth. So you went to a club and met a girl, so what. Don't lie to me just to make me feel better I don't need that right now."
She then turned around and began to open her door with her house key when he gently grabbed her shoulder to turn her towards him.
"Sakura, this is not a lie. Tomoyo doesn't know everything that happened, please let me explain it to you so I can go home tonight in peace." Syaroan pleaded with begging eyes. Sakura faced him and leaned against her door with a look of defeat.
"Okay, make it quick I have to go inside." Syaoran gave a half smile and let go of her arm.
"I went to the club after you and I had the argument because I figured that if I talked with a few friends and had a couple drinks that everything would just go away and make me feel better. As soon as I got there me and some guys got together and they bought me a few drinks, but those drinks made me feel even more miserable about how I treated you so I bought myself some, and in no time at all I got drunk. That's actually what I intended to do so I could get you of my head." Syaoran took Sakura's hands in hers as she looked up at him sadly. "The thing is Sakura, I can't stop thinking about you, I love you too much, and that's what made it harder to forget about you. So at the time, all those drinks seemed really intriguing to me. My pals then pushed me into the girl that Tomoyo saw me with, and with how drunk I was I couldn't think straight so I talked to her and then before I knew it I found myself driving to her place." Sakura took her hands out of his grasp getting a little uncomfortable with where this was going.
"Syoaran, I don't think that you need to give me any more details."
"No, wait, nothing happened...really." Sakura turned around and put her hand on the door for support.
"Nothing really happened? No thanks Syaoran, listen I'll talk to you tomorrow okay its late an..."
"Please listen to me Sakura!" Syaoran took her hands back into his and squeezed slightly. "Please, hear me out and if you don't like what you hear then I'll leave you alone and you will never have to talk to me again."
"Syoaran...I."
"Please?"
"Hurry then."
"I went to her house, not inside, and we kissed a little in my car. Again, I was drunk and I didn't know better. And while I was doing this I started to see images...those images were you Sakura. I never noticed how much I loved you until then. That's when I realized that I didn't want to be with anyone else other then you." He walked up closer to Sakura. "I need you Sakura, no other woman in this world will make me happy. Please, listen to these words that I'm telling you." Sakura's eyes began to slowly fill up with tears of happiness.
"And...wha...what happened after you kissed her?" She asked curiously. Syaoran then lifted her face up to his.
"I left to come see you, although I didn't I was thinking about it. Instead I went home to think about the perfect way to tell you I love you, that's when I came up with the song in the play. And now I'm telling you again how I truly feel about you along with how I fell about Eriol. When I see you with him I just...I feel...miserable. After all the things he has done to you, after everything you've been through you suddenly decided to be with him. I didn't know why and I still don't and when I see you kiss him I feel like..." Syoaran was beginning to get upset just talking about Eriol, but all of that soon vanished. Sakura touched her fingers to his lips and looked him in the eyes as she embraced him in another kiss. This kiss wasn't like the other ones they have shared, this one was out of pure love for one another. Now that they both knew how they felt, this kiss made them realize that they were meant to be together. A little shocked Syaoran pulled away in need of breath just looking at Sakura. She looked up at him smiling.
"Syaoran, I don't love Eriol, nor do I like him. I didn't want to tell you this but everything that I have been doing since the day I began to treat you terribly was all a lie, a terrible game that I have planned. I do despise Eriol very much but I was thinking that if I got close to him and tell him that all this was a joke that I would get something out of him."
"Like what?"
"If he hurt me when I told him the news that I didn't like him then Tomoyo would catch every moment on tape and send him to jail."
"Why didn't you want to tell me about this sooner?"
"Because I knew that if I told you about this then you would ruin the entire plan. Eriol would somehow find out and everything would fall apart. I did this for the sake of you and me Syoaran. I love you, I have loved you ever since we were children and now we both share the same feelings."
"Yeah, we are. And I like that very much."
"Me too."
Sakura moved towards Syaoran who gladly pulled her closer and they kissed again. This time more in the middle of passionately and roughly. Sakura leaned against her front door and played with his soft brown hair, Syoaran suckling on her bottom lip affectionately. She couldn't help but moan as he did this and did the same to him. She bit playfully, feeling a smirk come across his soft lips. Syaoran licked her lip telling her he wanted entrance and she willingly let him enter, their tongues sliding against one anothers, tasting their sweet essence. Sakura gasped moments later with her eyes still closed as Syoaran lifted her leg to his side, pinning her to the door. Sakura's dreams were finally coming true, she finally had Syaoran just like she had always wanted and was making the most of it. She continued kissing him, her leg still at his side. They then parted gasping for breath, Syoaran pressed against her letting her feel how much he longed for her, how much he wanted her and she smiled wickedly as well as him. It was as if they both knew what each other was thinking, Syoaran looked at her and began suckling on her neck, making her squirm excitedly, tilting her head to the side, giving him more neck. Little did they know that blue eyes were watching everything they were doing from behind a bush.
"I'll get you back for this Sakura. And there's only one way I can do that and that's by getting rid of Syaoran. I guess I'll have to kill him then." He smiled evilly and walked off. He was very distraught and wasn't going to let Sakura get away with what she did to him. No one ever dared to cross him, and he was going to show them why. ................................................................................................................ N/A: I HATE THIS CHAPTER!!!!!! I'm so sorry if you all liked it but this chapter didn't seem all that great to me. I kept running out of ideas for what to do for the play and it was hard to explain everything so that's why I think it sucked. But most likely the chapters after this will be a lot more meaningful and more exciting. Please review and tell me what you think about it okay? Thank you all so much, I have no idea how many times I have said that but you all deserve it!
Oh and I don't like this chappie as much as my other ones and if you think so too then tell me. I want to know how all of you feel so I can try and make my other chapters better.
Chapter 10 The Play:
The curtain slowly rose up and everyone on the stage began to immediately perform as the audience quietly sat in their seats watching intently.
The play was supposed to be about a group of teens that were different then any others. They were out of control and had no sense of following any rules at all. But later on after spending some time with each other they realize how they behave and act around people and slowly decide to change. They don't know exactly how they are though but find out in their own personal way. So, the whole point of the play is for them to change into better teens then they once were before.
Sakura looked at Syaoran still hurt about what Tomoyo had told her earlier. Syaoran just looked straight ahead, knowing her gaze was on him but was afraid to look at her. She noticed this and hung her head but rose again when it was her turn to talk. She walked up to her other classmates and started to perform. She was supposed to flirt with all the guys in the play all the time and act as if to her it was normal. Although it wasn't she was pretty good at pretending. She walked up to Syaoran and, of course started to work her magic.
"Hi, I'm new. You don't think that you could show me around later do you?" She asked in a seductive voice, putting her hand on his. He just smiled at her and said 'sure'. She winked at him and took a seat at her desk.
Sakura felt terrible. She didn't want to do this but she knew she had to. Keeping her eyes anywhere other then Syaoran she continued acting. Syaoran was a little confused though. He knew that she was acting but she was just so good at it that he figured that she actually thought that everything was alright and back to normal. It seemed like it but it wasn't.
"Okay, so as you all can see we have two new students joining our class. Michelle, Christina, please introduce yourselves." The "teacher" said. Sakura and Tomoyo walked up in front of the class and told them their names and a little about themselves as the boys eyed them, drool escaping the sides of their mouths.
"Hello, I'm Michelle, most of you might not like me once you get to know me. That's because I tend to get a little mean if you piss me off. But other then that, if you're nice to me then I can be your best friend, and I mean your BEST friend." Sakura said giving all the boys that sexy look of hers while playing with her hair.
"Hey, I'm Christina, me and Michelle are best friends so that means that we are a lot alike. We practically have the same attitude, same style, same taste in boys, that kind of stuff." She said looking around at all the gawking guys around her and Sakura. "We don't like being toyed with...unless we allow ourselves to be toyed with." She nudged Sakura and they both smirked as a few boys fell out of their seats.
"Okay, that's enough, go and sit back down. By the looks of it I think I'm going to have to keep a close eye on you two." The teacher said looking them up and down. They were wearing very revealing outfits. Shirts showing their belly buttons and skirts that barely hid anything. That's what made all the guys "accidentally" drop their pencils just to get a sneak peek.
Sakura and Tomoyo sat down at their desks and crossed their legs smiling at one another. It wasn't long either until they began talking amongst themselves. (I'm just going to call them by their real names so you guys wont get confused.)
"So Sakura, what are you planning to do after school today?" Tomoyo asked thoughtfully.
"Well, I was wondering if you and I could go do some dancing, meet some guys. Since were new here we can use that as an excuse to flirt with them." They both laughed at the thought but stopped when the teacher cut them off.
"Excuse me, I know that back at your school they might let you talk whenever you please but here you have to pay attention. I'm sorry but I don't appreciate it when students don't let me teach." Sakura and Tomoyo just looked at one another and said as politely as possible to him:
"Well actually, back at our other school they didn't allow us to talk either, we just didn't give a crap and kept on doing it."
"Yeah, that's probably one of the other reasons they kicked us out." Tomoyo said, adding to Sakura's little speech.
"They kicked you out?" He said walking to their desks.
"Yep, they sure did. And besides, that school just wasn't cool enough to stay in anyways." Tomoyo answered politely, fluttering her long lashes. He just cleared his throat and walked back up to the board, scribbling down some words that the class was supposed to write down. He figured that the two would stop talking but boy was he wrong.
"So anyways, Tomoyo what do you think about..."
"Please don't interrupt while I'm teaching girls." The teacher politely said turning around. But Sakura just waved him off without caring what would happen.
"We're talking about something important, so WE would appreciate it if YOU wouldn't interrupt us. So anyways..." The teacher's eyes widened at the two of them who just began chatting away, fully aware that everyone in the class was looking at them, including blue and brown eyes.
"Excuse me? You have no right to talk to me in that manner. You two just got here, you wouldn't like it if I called your parents and told them how the both of you are behaving would you?" He asked with his hands on their desks. They just looked at him and shrugged their shoulders then Tomoyo spoke up.
"Well, honestly, we don't really care if you do or not since our parents don't give a shit at all about where we are, what we do, or what happens with us. All they care about is that were not in the house bothering them." She said calmly. The teacher was getting very annoyed by their attitude and was about to send them away when the lunch bell rang. Everyone stood up and began their way out of the classroom completely ignoring the two girls and the teacher.
"Well, I'm deeply sorry Mr....?" Sakura cut in, grabbing her backpack.
"Call me sensei. I think that the both of you would be perfect when coupled with my two other students. They happen to be males and act exactly like you, that's probably why I'm not blowing up like I should be because I'm used to this behavior. But believe me girls." He said leaning in closer to them. "I do not take shit from students like you at all and I am not an easy teacher to deal with if you get on my bad side. So take in mind this friendly advice, either listen and be good well behaved students, or you'll find yourselves flunking this class and being suspended a numerous number of times." He then straightened up with a serious look on his reddened face.
"Uhh...ok... can we go now SENSEI?" Sakura said smartly. Her and Tomoyo really didn't hear what he was saying, they did, but it just went in one ear and out the other. He rubbed his temples and ushered them to go and leave him in peace. ................................................................................................................
Sakura and Tomoyo disappeared behind the back curtain to get ready for the next scene.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo called to her. No answer. "Sakura, you alright?" Sakura then looked up and smiled lightly in response.
"Yeah, I'm fine. This play is so boring and not to mention stupid. I have to end up with Syaoran and you have to end up with Eriol. To tell you the truth I think this whole play is a complete waste of time." Sakura sat down on a stool and leaned her head against the hard wall.
"So does everyone else Sakura but you don't physically see them complaining. Come on you can do better then this. Just hold on a bit longer and it'll be over before you know it." Tomoyo walked to the curtain since it was almost time to go back out again.
"No it wont, you watch this is going to last forever, for me at least. I have to flirt with Syaoran, Eriol and every other guy out there. Do you think this is easy for me? Well, it's not Tomoyo and I don't want to do this anymore." She crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Tomoyo sadly.
"Well there's nothing I can do Sakura, you know that if there was, I would do something about it, but there isn't so stop whining. Come on." Tomoyo held out a hand for Sakura to grab. "It's fine Sakura, take deep breathes and you'll go through this perfectly." Sakura took a hold of her soft hands and stood up. Tomoyo was always so positive about things, why couldn't she be a little more moody? It didn't really matter to Sakura though. Tomoyo's happiness and cheerfulness made her feel a lot better when she was frustrated which was good since she was frustrated a lot lately.
They looked out into the stage. Everything seemed to be going as planned...for the teacher anyways. Sakura looked around and saw Syaoran standing on the other side of the stage. The next scene would be with him, Tomoyo, Eriol, and her. A small shiver crept down Sakura's spine. The next scene would be when she had to walk with Syaoran and do some flirting. She took Tomoyo's advice and took a few deep breaths and walked out onto the stage once again. ................................................................................................................
"So, how do you like the school so far?" A male voice asked from behind Sakura. She whirled around and smiled sexily at him.
"It sucks." She said easily. He just looked at her and smirked. Do you know who I am?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Sakura turned around and met his amber eyes and smiled again, moving closer to his strong frame.
"No, I believe I don't, but I would like to." She trailed a finger down his chest and he caught it, making her look up at him.
"I bet you would. Listen, this school is pretty big so would you like me to show you around now?"
"Sure, why not. And by the way you never did tell me your name." She said starting to walk away from him. He shortly followed after her.
"My name is Syaoran." Syaoran said walking behind her. Sakura twirled around and looked at him once again. (Like with Sakura and Tomoyo I'm going to call him by his real name so you wont get confused.)
"What a suitable name for such a..." she looked down and then back up, taking in a breath that sounded more like a moan. "Big boy." She finished, quirking an eyebrow and continued walking towards the school. He looked down and then smiled at her humor but deep inside this was turning him on a lot. Her acting was just so realistic that he didn't know what she really felt anymore. He had to tell her today about how he felt towards her. If he didn't he might lose her forever.
"Come on, your slow." Sakura yelled out to him and he followed. They then vanished behind the curtain when Tomoyo and Eriol came out for their part. ................................................................................................................
"Why hello there, where might your friend be." Eriol said, taking a seat next to Tomoyo at the bench.
"She's not here." She answered taking a bite of a sandwich. He put a foot up on the bench and rested his arm on his knee.
"I can see that, since you're obviously alone. So, what do you think?" He said giving her a half smile.
There was so much rage in Tomoyo at the moment but did really well as to not show it. She still hadn't got back at him for doing what he did to Sakura and herself and oh how she wanted to. She felt like knocking the living crap out of him at that moment, now that he was in clear shot in front of her.
"I think that you're very cute to tell you the truth." She said biting her lower lip seductively. Eriol put his leg down and leaned in closer to her.
"I meant about the school." He whispered still smiling. They were inches away from each other and Tomoyo was absolutely glad that this wasn't the part where she had to kiss him. She really didn't want to, let alone do it at all.
"Yeah I know." She then got up and made her way to the bathrooms when he grabbed her arm.
"You're a pretty one, and a smart one at that. Listen do you want to get a drink sometime?" He let go of her.
"No thanks, but I have to keep a look out for other handsome guys like yourself. I want to see what variety is out there before I make my choice. But maybe, if there is no one out there with my taste. Bye bye." She said waving him off. He watched as she went into the bathroom and then walked behind the curtain. ................................................................................................................
Before Eriol Came:
Sakura and Syaoran just sat patiently behind the curtain. They didn't look at each other as well as talk.
'I have to tell her and now is the perfect moment to do so.' He thought standing up. Sakura eyed him suspiciously but ignored him as he proceeded towards her.
"Sakura. I need to tell you something, and I need to explain to you about what happened at the club." He stopped a few feet away from her and waited for an answer.
"There's no reason to explain Li, Tomoyo told me everything, no need to waste your breath." She said coldly. Syaoran took a seat next to her as she scooted away from him.
"She doesn't know the whole story Sakura so that's why I'm going to tell you now. Please hear me out, if you don't want to then you don't have to. I just want you to know the truth before you go taking me the wrong way." Sakura just sat there silently and then mouthed 'okay' while looking at him. He smiled and opened his mouth to speak when Eriol cam in from the stage, signaling them to go out, Tomoyo seconds after him.
"What are you two doing?" He said warningly. He walked up to Sakura and put an arm around her. Sakura cringed at his touch. Syaoran noticed this and opened his mouth to say something about it when Tomoyo cut in. "It's none of your business and besides they have to go out now." She grabbed Sakura's hand and pushed her out onto the stage along with Syaoran.
"What's up Tomoyo, you seem a bit on the down side today." Eriol said peeking out of the curtain to watch them perform.
"Your what's up Eriol." She said hotly.
"Oh? So you were thinking about me?" He turned around to face Tomoyo with his familiar snicker on his pale face.
"Don't flatter yourself Hiiragizawa. Why do you like her so much? She hates you, cant you see that?"
"Correction." Eriol said raising a finger. "She HATED me, she loves me now." He sat down where Sakura and Syaoran had been sitting before.
"Pfft. That what you think." She said under her breath. Eriol looked up, not catching what she had said.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, just shut the crap up, I'm not in the mood to talk to you." She looked out at Sakura and Syaoran when she noticed Eriol standing in front of her, blocking her view of them.
"Are you jealous?"
"Are you serious? I wouldn't be jealous over you if you were surrounded by all the girls in this school in fact I would be disgusted and completely dumbfounded about why those girls would be groping over you. I see no reason why they would be in the first place." She said throwing her hands up in the air. Eriol just walked closer up to her with the same smirk on his face.
"Do you remember those times we had Tomoyo...in your house?" Tomoyo blushed crimson red at his words.
"No, I don't."
"Oh but I think you do, by the looks of your cheeks I think that your lying to me." Tomoyo blushed again as he made his way towards her.
"So what if I do, they were nothing special."
"Oh I'm hurt deeply by those words Tomoyo. So you're saying that you don't think this was special?" He emphasized the word 'this' as he grabbed Tomoyo somewhere making her gasp. She closed her eyes and leaned in to whisper into his ear.
"You are a piece of shit. You have no respect for women at all. And to tell you the truth, those nights were nothing but mere games for me that I didn't mind winning at all." She seethed into his ear, as he remained silent. She removed his hand and walked to the other side of the stage, watching once again Sakura and Syaoran. ................................................................................................................
"And this is the amphitheatre. We do lots of...stuff here at night." Syaoran cleared his throat and Sakura looked at him thoughtfully.
"Exactly what kind of stuff do you do here?" She stepped around it looking around as Syaroan watched her elegant body move, swaying from side to side as she walked.
"Well...I guess you'll have to find out what it is yourself if you're curious. But I'll tell you what other things this crappy school does."
"Oh do tell." Sakura said, curiously looking around the amphitheatre.
"Well we have dances, with voluntary singers or performers. It gets pretty exciting out here, you'll have to check it out sometime." Syaoran moved behind Sakura about to grab her from behind but didn't for she turned around. He doubled back when she came walking towards him and found himself against a wall, Sakura a few feet away from him.
"I still don't really know you that well Syaoran, and like I said, I'd like to."
But you just met me Sakura, you wouldn't want to give me the wrong impression?" He said moving closer to her.
"How would you know that? Maybe I just might want to give you the wrong impression, that way I can get what I want. I always get what I want." They were centimeters away from each other with Sakura holding onto his shirt, making her way up to his lips. This was the part where they were supposed to kiss...or at least almost.
The lunch bell rang again telling them that they were supposed to go to class but it didn't seem to phase the two as they continued what they were about to do.
"The bell has rung in case you haven't noticed. Go to class...now." A campus supervisor said menacingly. Sakura turned her head to say something but Syaoran put his hand over her mouth and answered for her instead.
"How about no? In case YOU haven't noticed we were in the middle of something when you rudely snuck up on us." Sakura nodded her head in agreement as the supervisor took out his walky-talky and consulted one of the office workers.
"You two are to go to the office right now. You're going home early and since it's Friday, will not be coming to school on Monday. Do you hear?"
"Yep we hear you loud and clear Mister." Sakura said playfully. Her and Syaoran made their way to the office and sat down in one of the chairs outside.
"You're nasty, you know that?" Syaoran said looking at Sakura.
"Sweetie, you have no idea." She licked her lips, which made Syaoran even more turned on then he already was. They then took a seat in the principles office silently. Syaoran, in a humorous mood leaned over to Sakura and whispered into her ear although he wasn't supposed to since it wasn't in the script.
"Does this bring back any memories?" Sakura remembered the one time that her, Syaoran, and Meiling were in the office for being totally stupid in class. That was where Sakura chewed out Meiling. She smiled at the memory and looked at Syaoran but then quickly put on a frown remembering what was really going on.
'She looks so beautiful when she smiles, I really miss them. I haven't seen a real smile like that one in a long time.' Syaoran thought to himself as he stared at her luscious lips.
"Why it's you again Syaoran, I was wondering when I would see you again, I was thinking that I would see you yesterday but you're here today. So...what did you do this time...and with this young lady? Never mind don't answer that, I have a pretty good idea already." The principle said knowingly. Sakura giggled in her chair and Syaoran smiled.
"Well, this time I didn't do anything bad...at least not in the way you're thinking." He glanced at Sakura who was still giggling, biting her finger playfully.
"Okay, well I guess that you cussed out another teacher again?" Syaoran shook his head yes and smiled. "This is no matter to smile about. If you keep doing stuff like this then you're going to find yourself at a different school."
"I don't care, I hate this school anyways." Syaoran folded his arms and put his foot up on his desk.
"Off the desk." Boomed the principle and Syaoran took it down again. "So, what are you waiting for, go home already, you've already heard my speeches, no need to say them again." Sakura and Syaoran both got up when suddenly Syaoran stopped.
"I have a question for you, if you don't mind. Next week there's a dance, are we still able to go or..."
"Yeah the both of you will still be able to go just don't screw it up for yourselves. Behave like you're supposed to and you'll get to go, if you don't then you'll be at home doing some extra homework." Syaoran saluted him and then left the office with Sakura. Once again they went behind the curtain and Eriol and Tomoyo stepped out. ................................................................................................................
"Anyways, I was about to say something to you about the club." Syaoran said sighing deeply. Sakura listened quietly as he began to talk. "Sakura, I went to the club to have a few drinks so I could forget about the conversation we had. I wanted to have a few drinks so everything would just...disappear...I didn't think it would go that far." Syaoran paced the room, twiddling with is fingers as he spoke to her. As for Sakura, she was very interested in what he was saying and wanted him to get to the point.
"As soon as I got there, I saw a few of my pals from school and we started to talk and they bought me a few drinks. One led to another and I was drunk. I then bumped into a woman and we seemed to hit it off but...I guess...she liked me and so she...started...we started...to do stuff." Syaroan tried to say these words but with much difficulty as he scratched the back of his head. Sakura looked at him letting him know that she wanted to know more about his little incident. He noticed this and continued. "We did stuff and we danced. Then before I knew it I was in my car driving us to her place. Then...
"Hey, you're on now. Lets go." One of the other classmates said waving his hand towards the stage. Sakura just looked at Syaoran and they both irritatingly walked out. ................................................................................................................
"Psst...Tomoyo." Eriol whispered to Tomoyo with a note in his hand. She looked up and saw the note being passed down to her. She took it in her hands and opened it curiously.
So, I'm just wondering, but what do you have planned tonight? I'm not doing anything so I figured you and I could go on a date or something. Please say yes. Pass this not back to me afterwards.
Tomoyo smiled at the note then looked at Eriol who was looking at her in hope of her answer. She blew him a kiss and then crumpled the note up in her hand, shaking her head okay. Eriol threw a punch in the air happily and continued working on the paper that was in front of him.
"Okay, school is over in about 5 minutes, please get packed up and leave as soon as the bell rings." Their teacher said.
Ring! (the real bell didn't ring, just the one in the play)
The whole class got up and left except for Eriol and Tomoyo, they stayed behind.
"Eriol, may I suggest something we can do on our date?" She said sweetly, fluttering her eyelashes again.
"Yeah, I was wondering if we could go and watch a movie."
"Yeah! I want to go and see a movie too. I want to see that one with those teens who fall in love." Tomoyo clasped her hands to her cheeks dreamily. She leaned in towards him, putting a hand on his cheek. "Don't you want to see that one too?" She said making him blush.
"Uh...sure why not. After we can go and hang out somewhere I guess."
"That sounds great Eriol. Pick me up at 8 okay?" She pecked him on the cheek and left, swaying her butt from side to side. Syaoran and Sakura then came out from behind the stage.
"So Eriol, from the looks of it I say that you and Tomoyo are hitting it off alright?" Syaoran said sitting next to him.
"Yeah, were going on a date tonight at the movies."
"Really? I think I should take Sakura there too." Syaoran said putting a hand under his chin.
"You and Sakura hitting it off too? Cool, maybe we can double date...that is if she says she'll go." They both stood up and walked out of the classroom still talking as they made their way out to the back of the stage once again.
"Sakura, do you like that one Syaoran guy, he seems nice." Tomoyo asked talking with Sakura in the front of the staged school.
"Yeah he seems juicy enough."
"Sakura!" Tomoyo giggled and nudged her playfully. "Listen Eriol and I are going to see a movie tonight, you should come with Syaoran." She said standing up.
"Sure, don't tell Syaoran though I want it to be a surprise. Tell him that I can't make it or something."
"The two of you seem to like each other a lot. Sure I'll make something up for you. Who knows, maybe the both of you will become a little more acquainted, if you catch my drift." Sakura smiled and they both made their way to the back of the stage. ................................................................................................................
"You were saying something Li?" Sakura said reminding him about the conversation they were having.
"Oh...well...I can't tell you yet since Tomoyo and Eriol are here. We have to be all alone." Syaoran said fidgeting.
"Whatever, I don't care." Sakura waved him off as she sat down in her earlier spot. She wanted to know what really happened in the club, maybe nothing really happened. The way Tomoyo had told her made it sound like he went all berserk and went out laying any woman he could find but hopefully he would tell her sooner or later. Sakura and Syaoran remained silent while Eriol and Tomoyo wwere bickering in the corner trying to not draw attention to themselves.
"Would you leave me alone!" Tomoyo whispered to Eriol. He wouldn't leave her alone. He wanted to find out if she was jealous or not.
"Admit it Tomoyo, you're jealous that I'm with Sakura now and not with you. You miss all those times that we fooled around in your room and..."
Smack!
"How dare you! I am not jealous, I am anything but jealous you obnoxious freak. Leave me alone or you'll find yourself with one less ball then you have now, got it?" Tomoyo said threateningly. Eriol protectively held his balls and mouthed an 'ow' at the thought before beginning to talk again.
"Fine, believe what you want, but you're jealous. Sakura loves me now, even though you say that she hates me. If she did then why were we makin out on my desk that day? If she hated me then she wouldn't have done that." Tomoyo felt like blurting everything out to him about Sakura's little plan and about how much she despised him. It took a lot of strength not to do it, but she held it back. Instead she just walked over to Sakura and sat down next to her.
"This play is almost over. It's close to the part where we're supposed to see the movie. Thank god too, I can't stand this anymore. Eriol is bugging the hell out of me. I know this might sound a little stupid but can you do something to him so he can leave me alone for the rest of the play?" Tomoyo asked pleadingly with pulsing eyes.
"Hell, freaking no Tomoyo, I have to deal with him enough, besides you're supposed to be the one helping him stay away from me ne?"
"Well, yeah but...have Syaoran do something." Tomoyo said excitedly.
"No. just deal with it Tomoyo, like you said this play is almost over then you can run away from him and never have to see his face again...till tomorrow." Sakura smiled as Tomoyo grunted angrily.
"Whatever Sakura. You have to go on now with Syaoran. The next scene is the movie scene sooo yeah. Go." Sakura got up and went out to the theatre. ................................................................................................................
"Hey Sakura, do you want to go and watch a movie with me tonight? I know we just met and all but it would make my day if you said yes." Syaoran said with puppy eyes. Sakura stopped walking and thought for a moment before she answered.
"Why should go?."
"Well I would like to get to know you better...a lot better." He said, getting hard in certain places. She licked her lips seductively.
"Sure I'll go. Pick me up tonight around 7 or 8 okay?"
"Alright!" Sakura screamed a scream of surprise and blushed when Syaoran pinched her butt. Even though it was part of the script to do that she just couldn't help but blush at his actions. She quickly turned away from him so he wouldn't see her red cheeks.
"What was that?" Sakura asked rubbing the pinch.
"I'm sorry I just couldn't control myself Sakura. Anyways I'll pick you up at 8."
"You better be careful about what you do or I might just not be able to control what I do to you." Sakura said. Syaoran took a moment to think it through his head what she meant and then turned red.
"And what will you do to me?" he said taking hold of her arm. She turned around and got agonizingly close to his face then whispered to him.
"That's for me to know, and you to find out, Syaoran-Kun" Syaoran stumbled at her words and began to work up a thin sweat. He then watched as she walked away from him breathless.
"Is it hot out here or is it just me?" He asked. Sakura turned around and blew him a kiss.
"It's just you." She answered and continued her way to the curtain. Syaoran caught the flying kiss and put it in his pocket for safe keeping then hurried to the curtain as well. ................................................................................................................
"Your turn Tomoyo, Eriol." Sakura called out to the two who were avoiding each other. Eriol still holding himself, afraid of what Tomoyo had said and Tomoyo sitting alone far away from Eriol, afraid of him coming anywhere near her. "I said it's your turn to go." They both looked up and left leaving Sakura and Syaoran once again alone. Syaoran then began to continue his speech once again.
"Sakura, as soon as I got to her house I then realized that I didn't want to be there, I wanted to be with someone else." Syaoran clenched his fists nervously, hoping that Sakura would know what he meant.
"Who would that be?" She asked extremely curious. She was crossing her fingers behind her back hoping that the words that would come out of his mouth were the ones that she wanted to hear.
"Sakura. Later in the play I'm supposed to perform for your character. Just take in mind that what I do is what I really feel." Sakura just looked at him totally confused by his words. She didn't know what he meant.
"Can you please say that again? What do you mean by that and what are you going to be doing?" Syaoran just sat down on the opposite chair of Sakura and bowed his head, covering his eyes with his hair. Tomoyo and Eriol then came back. Tomoyo was flushed and angry while on the other hand Eriol was laughing.
"Whats wrong Tomoyo?" Sakura asked worriedly.
"Don't ask." Tomoyo said flatly and sat down while Eriol leaned against the wall at a loss for breath. She then looked up at him seething.
"I hope you die and burn in hell for what you just did." She said then turned around facing the other way of Eriol who just laughed harder at her. ................................................................................................................
"Now this is the scene where the two couples go to the movies. Were going to skip the part where Syaoran and Eriol pick up the girls so we can get to the point." The real teacher said before leaving to sit back in the audience again. The crowd was so into the play they all stared at the students as they acted, their eyes as shiny as porcelain.
Sakura and Syaoran sat in the back of the "theatre", Tomoyo and Eriol in the row in front of them. They were all supposed to get into the moment and kiss but, again, not for real. (that's later on)
"Eriol, how romantic can this movie be? I would love for someone to kiss me like that." Tomoyo said, quickly getting his attention. He smartly put his arm around her as he leaned in for the kiss. But while he was doing that, Syaoran in the row above him was also trying to get to Sakura's romantic side with a kiss.
"Sakura." He whispered softly. Her ears perked up and she moaned to him in response. "Isn't this movie a little mushy?" Sakura looked at him with a fake frown on her face.
"You don't like this mushy stuff Syaoran-Kun?" She gave him her puppy eyes with her bottom lip pushed out sadly. He looked down at her lips.
'God, I can't take it anymore. So many times we have come so close to kissing but never got the chance to. I need to touch her lips before I go completely insane.' Syaoran thought but quickly revived himself and focused on his lines.
"No I do, it's just that now that I watch this movie it's got me thinking about something. Those teens are just like us. They don't listen or behave and the people around them are just...shocked and appalled by their behaviors."
"Yeah, just think, if we were in their spot then I guess that we would be shocked as well. I wouldn't want other teens acting that way around me at all." Sakura said. She looked up into his eyes and they very slowly leaned in for a kiss. Syaoran just moved his head in front of Sakura so no one in the crowd could see if they were actually kissing or not, same with Tomoyo and Eriol. But the more they looked at each other the more Syaoran got the urge to move in on her. Just then the curtain closed so they could change into different outfits for the next scene of the play. Everyone got up; even the extras that were playing ordinary people got up to change.
Syaoran and Sakura remained the way they were, just looking at each other. Sakura's heart was pounding as well as Syaoran's and as much as Sakura wanted this, she didn't let anything happen. She looked at him then moved away, standing up and leaving for Tomoyo who had her outfit already waiting for her.
"Thanks Tomoyo." She said as Tomoyo handed her the material.
"Are you ready Sakura, the play is almost over."
"Yeah I sure am. I just want to get home and sleep." Tomoyo smiled and they both went to dress. ................................................................................................................
"Now this scene is where Tomoyo and Eriol get into a fight and begin hitting on the other two to get back at eachother. But what will happen if somebody takes this the wrong way?" Another announcement was made throughout the actual theatre, making everyone antsy just sitting in their seats. By this time the curtain raised again to begin the next scene.
"Tomoyo, I need to talk with you." Eriol said motioning for her to come to him with his finger. She stood up and walked over to him.
"What is it?"
"Um, I was wondering. Next week is the dance right and there's this one girl who likes me." Tomoyo rose her eyebrows, anticipating his next words. "And she asked me to go to the dance with her, would you get mad if I told you that I said yes to her?" Tomoyo snorted in dismay.
"Of course I would get mad at you! You're supposed to go to the dance with me not some other bimbo. You and I are going out, it's supposed to be you and me together at the dance!"
"Well, I already told her I would go, I hope that you aren't that pissed off at me." Eriol twiddled with his fingers as he said this.
"Do you have any sort of brains in your head at all? You're going with me and that's that." Tomoyo said raising her nose in the air. Eriol was irritated. Who was she to tell him what to do and not to do? He was going to go to the dance with that girl if he wanted to and Tomoyo wasn't going to sop him.
"Well if that's your attitude then I'm going to go to the dance with her then." Tomoyo whirled around outraged.
"No, you're not."
"Watch me." He said coolly and walked off in the other direction towards a girl with short red air. He started talking to her, taking small glances back at Tomoyo from time to time when he realized she wasn't there. ................................................................................................................
Next Scene:
"Hi Syaoran. Tomoyo said walking up behind him. He turned around and smiled as he kindly said 'hi' to her.
"What's up Tomoyo?" They began to walk down the hall.
"You." She said and before he knew it he found himself against the wall.
'What are you doing?" He said moving out of her grasp surprised.
"I'm hitting on you, that's what." She began to follow him, her gaze still on him.
"Why. Funny Tomoyo, this is a joke right?"
"No joke Syaoran, this is real. I like you so I'm going to get you."
"That's what you think, why are you acting so weird, sexy, but weird?" Syaoran was walking backwards, not being able to see what was behind him.
"I'm just in the mood to have a little fun and that's exactly what I think Syaoran." She said, answering both of his questions. And little did they know that Sakura was moments away from walking up behind them.
"What are you going to do about it hm?" Tomoyo asked, still pursuing Syaoran.
"I'm going to keep you away from me that's what."
"No, you're going to try and keep me away from you." She said and she flung herself at him, embracing him in a rough kiss just as Sakura appeared from the corner. She dropped her books at the sight she was looking at, making Tomoyo and Syaoran stop the lip lock. Syaoran turned around and looked at the both of them, pushed Tomoyo off of him and ran towards Sakura.
"Sakura, this isn't what it looks like." He grabbed her arm but she jerked away. She just looked at him with a menacing finger in his face as if saying, 'don't come near me' and ran off with her face in her hands. Syaoran turned to look at Tomoyo who just shrugged and walked away. She did feel terrible, but she just wanted to get back at Eriol so badly she didn't think before she acted.
Sakura ran to the lunch tables and sobbed into her hands when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Eriol and tried her best to stop crying.
"Hi, what's up Eriol?" She wiped her cheek softly with the back of her hand. Eriol walked around to the other side of the table and sat down.
"Why are you crying?" He asked softly.
"I saw Syaoran kissing Tomoyo, and she's my best friend I can't believe she would do this to me." Sakura's voice quivered but then she looked up with flames in her eyes. "And Syaoran, he is done for. I hate him, and with my best friend too, he has some nerve." And with that she got up as the curtain closed again so they could get ready for the last scene of the play. ................................................................................................................
"Do you know what Syaoran is going to be doing this next scene?"
"No I don't."
"Oh ok, just wondering."
"Do you think it's something big Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"I think it is, Syaoran told me something weird about him performing." Sakura looked herself over in the old abandoned mirror in the back of the stage. A few moments later Tomoyo walked over to the mirror too, admiring her bodacious body.
"This is really getting on my nerves, I look terrible, I feel terrible, this whole night is terrible. I want to go home." Sakura whined stomping on the ground.
"You look fine, you'll feel better soon, and I know this night sucks but it's all over in about 10 more minutes Sakura don't worry." Sakura sigh as Tomoyo continued talking.
"And I don't think that what Syaoran is going to do is anything to jump about, besides he's not worth it Sakura he's skum, nothing but skum." They walked out and back to the stage, the curtain still closed. Sakura looked up and saw Syaoran standing on the pretend amphitheatre with a microphone in his hand.
"Oh my God." Sakura said. She had no idea that Syaoran was going to sing in the play, she had no freaking clue at all. She ran over to Tomoyo and whispered into her ear about Syaran's performance. While whispering Tomoyo's eyes widened, she twirled around to look at Syaoran who was nervously playing with the cord of the microphone and smiled mischievously, hoping that he would screw up and make a fool out of himself.
"Okay, everyone get ready, after the teacher makes this last speech we're going to begin." A student said from behind the curtain. Everyone nodded and gathered around Syaroan and the band behind him. This was going to be the scene of the dance and Syaroan was supposed to win back Sakura's love with a romantic song. But no one knew except for him that the song that he was going to try and sing was really how he felt for Sakura.
"Ok, the play is almost over so this is the last scene that you will be seeing. I hoped that all of you enjoyed this as much as I did." Sensei made his final announcement and went behind the curtain to motion everyone to start. The curtain went up and Syaoran stood with the microphone in his hand looking extremely nervous. He glanced at Sakura and smiled for the best as the music played in the background. He raised the microphone to his mouth and began to sing with an amazingly good voice. Sakura watched him as he sang, his lips moving slowly. ................................................................................................................
"There's something 'bout the way,
You look tonight.
There's something about the way that,
I can't take my eyes off you.
There's something about the way,
Your lips invite.
Maybe it's the way that,
I get nervous when you're around.
Sakura sat in her chair remembering what he had told her before. What he would do in this performance was really how he felt. Was it towards her? She just listened to the flow of the song wondering.
And I want you to be mine,
And if you need a reason why,
Chorus
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
It's in the way that you hold me,
And the way that you know me,
And when I can't find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way.
End of chorus
Oh, you feel it in the way...
There's something 'bout how you steal the mind,
There's something 'bout the way that...
I whisper your name when I'm asleep oh girl!
Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes,
Oh, maybe it's the way that...makes me feel to see you smile.
Sakura realized that what he was singing was about her. Then it hit her. Syaoran did love her, and he told her that through this song. She stood up, making her way towards him. Tomoyo looked at her curiously but remained seated as she watched Sakura walk towards the band.
And the reasons, they may change,
But what I'm feeling stays the same!
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
Tonight...
It's in the way that you hold me,
And the way that you know me,
And when I can't find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way.
Oh!
You feel it in the way...
I can't put my fingers on,
Just what it is that makes me, love you, you baby.
So don't ask me to describe,
I get all choked up inside,
Just thinkin' about the way...
The way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight, oh!
It's in the way that you hold me,
And the way that...
The way you know me,
When I can't find the right words to say.
...I feel it in the way...
Sakura stopped halfway to look at Syaoran, her heart was skipping beats just looking at him. Now she knew that he loved her, it was so clear. Making her know that what he was saying was the truth, he stepped down from the amphitheatre and made his way to her, with tears in her eyes. He walked up to her and put his hand on her waist, pulling her closer to him.
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way that you tease me,
The way!
...I feel it in the way...
There's something 'bout the way you look tonight...
There's nothing more to say then...I feel it in the way."
Syaoran then kissed Sakura passionately when the song ended. She put her hands on his chest, leaning against him to strengthen the kiss, the curtains then slowly closed signaling the end of the play. ................................................................................................................
The whole audience applauded wildly showing how much they enjoyed the play. They stood up in their seats, Sakura and Syaoran still behind the curtain. They broke the kiss, looking into each other's eyes. Sakura then realized what had just happened and turned around facing the other way embarrassed. Syaoran was blushing but smiled at her shyness.
"Wonderful work you two!" The teacher clapped as he made his way to them. "I never really thought that the both of you would actually kiss but it's good that you did, that just made the play even more exciting, wonderful job. Obviously the both of you get an A." He then turned around practically skipping and disappeared from sight. Seconds later everyone surrounded them also congratulating them on their work.
"Wow Sakura, you did great!"
"Syaoran was so awesome we need to do some more plays like this!"
"I wish I was as good as you two, I need an A in this class."
Syoaran and Sakura just barely escaped the students, making their way out of the theatre. Sakura didn't look at Syaoran at all as they walked side by side. Syoaran was going to say something to break the silence but someone interrupted them.
"Sakura!" Sakura turned around and saw Eriol walking up to her, taking her into his arms. "That was great, you were great. But why did you have to kiss Li? Now you have to wash your mouth out as soon as possible, I don't want to get his spit in my mouth." He shot Syaoran a nasty glare while saying this.
"And why will she need to do that?" Syaoran asked stepping up to him angrily.
"For when I do this." Sakura looked at him shocked as he kissed her roughly. When it ended Sakura pulled away speechless but didn't look at anything except for her shoes. Syaoran just stood there shooting daggers at Eriol who was doing the same.
"Why don't you leave her alone, don't you see she doesn't like you?" Syaoran walked up closer to Eriol, getting in his face.
"And why would you think that, just because you got your sticky paws on her and got a tiny little taste of her doesn't mean she likes you. And you better cherish that moment because it's never going to happen again." Eriol said calmly, staring directly into his eyes. Syaoran was so upset that he didn't think before he acted and pushed him really hard into a trashcan behind him. Eriol got up after falling and went back to push Syaoran who just punched him in return. Sakura screamed and got in the middle of the two, separating them from their all out brawl.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Don't do this while I'm around, do it when I'm gone. I can't stand this, I'm leaving." She turned around and took one last glance at Eriol who was going to follow her. "Eriol, if you really want me to be your girlfriend then listen to me and grow up, I don't need this shit from you or you." She said pointing to Syaroan. She then turned around and left the two alone, Syaoran made his way towards his car, saying a few words to Eriol along the way.
"There's no need to follow me I won't go talking to your GIRL, so keep your pants on there's no reason to shit a brick." Eriol just stared at him as he walked away. No one talked to him that way, no one, and Syaoran getting on his nerves didn't help how he felt about him either. ................................................................................................................
"Sakura, hold on. Do you need a ride?" Syaoran didn't do what he had told Eriol and went to talk to her anyways, after what had happed a few moments ago he wasn't going to let this perfect moment go to waste.
"No I'm fine trust me." She looked at him and smiled sweetly. No one could stay mad at him for long. Well, not any girl that is.
"Come on, I insist on taking you home Sakura." She just looked at his face and gave in just like that. She didn't know why she gave in so easily, it was probably the way he was looking at her or the vibe that the two of them were sharing but all the better they were now going to ride in the same car with the same awkward silence as before. Sakura nodded shortly and Syaoran smiled. He ran to his car and opened the door for her as she got in. Again he ran over to the other side and hopped in as well, this time staring at her before starting the car.
"What is it Syaoran?" Sakura said blushing slightly.
"So you're finally calling me by my first name again?" Sakura opened her mouth to say something back but didn't have the right words at the moment. Syaoran noticed this and drove off. It was about 11 at night and the rest of the ride wasn't so interesting, they didn't say a word to each other at all until they got to the front of Sakura's house.
"Umm, thanks for the ride Syaoran." Sakura looked at him and smiled before she got out of the car. She didn't want to bring up the kiss at the play because it would lead to an uncomfortable or disturbing conversation.
Syaoran watched her walk towards her front door quietly. He had his hand on his keys ready to drive off when he remembered that he had to tell her about what really happened at the club.
"Sakura, wait I need to tell you something." He said running up to her. She turned around and watched as he ran to her looking, slightly surprised. "Sakura, about the club. It wasn't entirely my fault." He started. Sakura rolled her eyes remembering about that problem and interrupted him.
"Syoaran, don't make up stories to hide the truth. So you went to a club and met a girl, so what. Don't lie to me just to make me feel better I don't need that right now."
She then turned around and began to open her door with her house key when he gently grabbed her shoulder to turn her towards him.
"Sakura, this is not a lie. Tomoyo doesn't know everything that happened, please let me explain it to you so I can go home tonight in peace." Syaroan pleaded with begging eyes. Sakura faced him and leaned against her door with a look of defeat.
"Okay, make it quick I have to go inside." Syaoran gave a half smile and let go of her arm.
"I went to the club after you and I had the argument because I figured that if I talked with a few friends and had a couple drinks that everything would just go away and make me feel better. As soon as I got there me and some guys got together and they bought me a few drinks, but those drinks made me feel even more miserable about how I treated you so I bought myself some, and in no time at all I got drunk. That's actually what I intended to do so I could get you of my head." Syaoran took Sakura's hands in hers as she looked up at him sadly. "The thing is Sakura, I can't stop thinking about you, I love you too much, and that's what made it harder to forget about you. So at the time, all those drinks seemed really intriguing to me. My pals then pushed me into the girl that Tomoyo saw me with, and with how drunk I was I couldn't think straight so I talked to her and then before I knew it I found myself driving to her place." Sakura took her hands out of his grasp getting a little uncomfortable with where this was going.
"Syoaran, I don't think that you need to give me any more details."
"No, wait, nothing happened...really." Sakura turned around and put her hand on the door for support.
"Nothing really happened? No thanks Syaoran, listen I'll talk to you tomorrow okay its late an..."
"Please listen to me Sakura!" Syaoran took her hands back into his and squeezed slightly. "Please, hear me out and if you don't like what you hear then I'll leave you alone and you will never have to talk to me again."
"Syoaran...I."
"Please?"
"Hurry then."
"I went to her house, not inside, and we kissed a little in my car. Again, I was drunk and I didn't know better. And while I was doing this I started to see images...those images were you Sakura. I never noticed how much I loved you until then. That's when I realized that I didn't want to be with anyone else other then you." He walked up closer to Sakura. "I need you Sakura, no other woman in this world will make me happy. Please, listen to these words that I'm telling you." Sakura's eyes began to slowly fill up with tears of happiness.
"And...wha...what happened after you kissed her?" She asked curiously. Syaoran then lifted her face up to his.
"I left to come see you, although I didn't I was thinking about it. Instead I went home to think about the perfect way to tell you I love you, that's when I came up with the song in the play. And now I'm telling you again how I truly feel about you along with how I fell about Eriol. When I see you with him I just...I feel...miserable. After all the things he has done to you, after everything you've been through you suddenly decided to be with him. I didn't know why and I still don't and when I see you kiss him I feel like..." Syoaran was beginning to get upset just talking about Eriol, but all of that soon vanished. Sakura touched her fingers to his lips and looked him in the eyes as she embraced him in another kiss. This kiss wasn't like the other ones they have shared, this one was out of pure love for one another. Now that they both knew how they felt, this kiss made them realize that they were meant to be together. A little shocked Syaoran pulled away in need of breath just looking at Sakura. She looked up at him smiling.
"Syaoran, I don't love Eriol, nor do I like him. I didn't want to tell you this but everything that I have been doing since the day I began to treat you terribly was all a lie, a terrible game that I have planned. I do despise Eriol very much but I was thinking that if I got close to him and tell him that all this was a joke that I would get something out of him."
"Like what?"
"If he hurt me when I told him the news that I didn't like him then Tomoyo would catch every moment on tape and send him to jail."
"Why didn't you want to tell me about this sooner?"
"Because I knew that if I told you about this then you would ruin the entire plan. Eriol would somehow find out and everything would fall apart. I did this for the sake of you and me Syoaran. I love you, I have loved you ever since we were children and now we both share the same feelings."
"Yeah, we are. And I like that very much."
"Me too."
Sakura moved towards Syaoran who gladly pulled her closer and they kissed again. This time more in the middle of passionately and roughly. Sakura leaned against her front door and played with his soft brown hair, Syoaran suckling on her bottom lip affectionately. She couldn't help but moan as he did this and did the same to him. She bit playfully, feeling a smirk come across his soft lips. Syaoran licked her lip telling her he wanted entrance and she willingly let him enter, their tongues sliding against one anothers, tasting their sweet essence. Sakura gasped moments later with her eyes still closed as Syoaran lifted her leg to his side, pinning her to the door. Sakura's dreams were finally coming true, she finally had Syaoran just like she had always wanted and was making the most of it. She continued kissing him, her leg still at his side. They then parted gasping for breath, Syoaran pressed against her letting her feel how much he longed for her, how much he wanted her and she smiled wickedly as well as him. It was as if they both knew what each other was thinking, Syoaran looked at her and began suckling on her neck, making her squirm excitedly, tilting her head to the side, giving him more neck. Little did they know that blue eyes were watching everything they were doing from behind a bush.
"I'll get you back for this Sakura. And there's only one way I can do that and that's by getting rid of Syaoran. I guess I'll have to kill him then." He smiled evilly and walked off. He was very distraught and wasn't going to let Sakura get away with what she did to him. No one ever dared to cross him, and he was going to show them why. ................................................................................................................ N/A: I HATE THIS CHAPTER!!!!!! I'm so sorry if you all liked it but this chapter didn't seem all that great to me. I kept running out of ideas for what to do for the play and it was hard to explain everything so that's why I think it sucked. But most likely the chapters after this will be a lot more meaningful and more exciting. Please review and tell me what you think about it okay? Thank you all so much, I have no idea how many times I have said that but you all deserve it!
