Chapter Four
Rika's Dare Day 1
...-...-……-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-……-…-...
Syaoran waited there patiently, as he knew she would most definitely be surprised when she sees him here. But like she said, that's the fun of it, right?
It's possible she might not even be up yet, but so what? Can't risk missing a single detail or moment of glory, can you? He sat there, leaning against the beautiful golden gate and yawned. Just for this surprise, he had to wake up a whole, sleeping hour earlier! His mind is still debating whether it was worth it or not, but it's too late to turn back now…
Sakura…
The alarm clock began singing its usual bloody annoying song, and the sunlight did its usual routine and forced its way through the closed curtains. The wind blew softly, picking up the scattered auburn hair lying messily on the pink, silky sheets.
Sakura's head peeked out from under the blanket. Her sleepy yet obviously furious emerald eyes gave the alarm clock the most deathly glare she had ever given anyone or anything. She gritted her teeth and pulled at her hair furiously, and soon let out a vicious roar. "AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!! WHEN DOES THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT EVER LEARN TO SHUT-THE-FUCK-UP??"
She grabbed the clock mercilessly and threw it against the wall with all her might, crushing it into tiny little pieces. With a satisfied, sleepy, lopsided smirk, she went back to sleep.
A few rooms next to hers, an older boy yawned and got out of bed. "Well, there's my wake up call…" He muttered to himself. Grabbing a dustpan, he crept into Sakura's room—making sure not to wake her up—and cleaned up the left-over of the clock. "There goes another one of 'em…" He sighed. Quietly, he opened Sakura's closet where there were at least 450 alarm clocks, and he set one for it to ring after 15 minutes. Placing it carefully on her bed stand, he left her room hurriedly not wanting to feel her wrath and end up like the alarm clock.
Syaoran…
He was having a nice nap leaning against the gate when a horribly loud growling was heard. "Goddamit, is her house swarming with tigers or something?" He stood up and pinpointed the source of the noise, only to find it coming from behind pink curtains that were decorated with cherry blossoms. "Damn, Sakura IS the 'swarm of tigers'… Remind me to never make her angry…"
After about 15 minutes, Sakura's clock rang once again. She growled and was about to kill that clock as well when she remembered that it should've been dead when she first killed it 15 minutes ago. "Godammit it's like a fucking cockroach! IT JUST DOESN'T DIE!!" With a growl of frustration and temporary defeat, she pressed down a button, and the clock immediately shuts up. She yawned and stepped into the washroom where she let the warm water poured down her back, as she sighed contently.
By the time she had reached downstairs, she had only five minutes left till school starts. Tory looked at her choice of clothing and the thick layer of 'paint' covering her face. "Sakura, How many times—"
"—do I have to tell you? Scrape all that trash off of your face and strip outta those slut cloth you have on." She mimicked him and rolled her eyes. "Give me a break will ya? I know you mean good but you know what? I like the way I am, and I'm not letting anyone change that." She stuffed a piece of toast in her mouth and buckled up her roller blades that Tory was smart enough to fetch from the closet and leave right next to the dining table for her.
"Fine, fine, fine. But two things: one, you're going to be late, two, you forgot to put your lipstick on."
"I know, I know, I'll put it on after I eat breakfast." She stood up. "Well, I'll see you later Tory! BYEEEEEE!!" The girl waved a little and jumped down the stairs right after she kicked the door open.
Sighing, he stood there watching her retreating figure. "What's wrong with her? It's not like she's so ugly she has to cover her face up with all that make up…" Shaking his head slightly, Tory closed the door and prepared for another day at work.
kalika
"Alright girlfriend, you have exactly 3 minutes and 46 seconds to get to school." She pressed a little button near the gate and zoomed right through the opening gate. She sped up, feeling the dagger-like wind cutting by her cheeks. "Damn, it's cold… Brrr…" As soon as she was out the gate, she did a sharp turn, only to be surprised by someone grabbing her right foot pulling her backwards! "AAHHHHHHH!!" She immediately lost her balance, but with all her years of training, she expertly used her hands to regain her balance and landed safely on her feet. Sadly, her toast wasn't as lucky as her. She glared at the person, but raised an eyebrow after long. "LI, SYAORAN! You've got a lot of explaining to do. First of all, what on earth are you doing here? Second of all, why did you try to trip me?! Third of all, YOU JUST MADE ME LOSE MY BREAKFAST!!"
Syaoran moved back a bit. "I didn't trip you on purpose; you were in such a hurry you didn't hear me calling out your name. And why am I here?" He grinned and stuck out his hands. "I still want to see those cards of yours and figure out exactly what the heck is going on like I had promised."
Smirking, she replied carelessly, "Sorry to disappoint you, but did I forget to mention that I collect the cards once I'm in school? Sorry, I don't got no cards with me right now." Ok, so maybe she was SORT of lying, I mean it's true that she collects them in school, but—tsk, tsk—she did have two of them with her right now…
He stared at her in disbelief. "You're telling me that I woke up one extra hour and had to walk all the way here in the cold and sit on the freezing ground for 45 minutes for absolutely NOTHING?!"
She nodded proudly. "Yep, and you forgot one other thing, you're going to be late as well."
He smirked back. "So what? I'll have you keeping me company and share the embarrassment."
"You wish. I've got roller blades on, and you don't. Have fun jogging!" She winked at him and turned to leave.
"Oh no you don't." Syaoran grabbed her hand and spun her around. "Either you are jogging with me, or somehow you're going to get me another pair of roller blades—" He stopped as his eyes rested on her lips; they were pink, with no black paint covering them. How soft and dangerously tempting they looked, almost too perfect to be real. "Uh, you ch-changed lip stick, stick today?" He asked, stuttering a bit.
She rolled her eyes. "Jeez, you finally noticed it now… And no, I didn't, I'm not WEARING any lipstick, I was planning to apply it on after breakfast, but seeing as breakfast is now ruined, thanks for reminding me." She took out her mirror and lipstick and began applying it on, that is, until Syaoran grabbed her hand, stopping her.
"Don't. You look nicer without it."
"Gee, thanks, but I don't care." She swiped the lipstick expertly across her top and bottom lip and dropped it back in her bag. Checking her watch she glared at Syaoran. "Thanks so much to you, I now only have 2 minutes and 31 seconds left to go to school which means I'll probably be late. And after wasting my breath talking to you I only have 2 minutes and 26 seconds remaining. Make that 25." She spun around on her blades. "You said we're both jogging or rollerblading since you don't want to be the only one late right? Well, I've got an idea, I'll go on my rollerblades… and you jog." Before Syaoran could utter a word of complaint, she grabbed his hand and pushed herself forward on her blades.
"SSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKUUUUUURRRRRRRAAAAAAAA!! WWHHAATT OOON EARTH ARE YOU DOING? I'M GONNA DIE FROM RUNNING TOO HARD!!"
"Ah well, you should be thanking me, now you can be sure that you'll win the school marathon this year." She smiled and continued gliding comfortably while dragging Syaoran at an insanely fast pace, nearly flying towards Tomoeda High.
At school…
RING RING!
"THAT'S THE WARNING BELL!! WE HAVE TO MAKE IT!" Sakura blasted into the school with an exhausted (And I mean EXHAUSTED) Syaoran trailing behind. She dropped him by his locker and rushed into her own. "Goddamit OPEN!" She threw her lock on the ground and dug through her messy locker until she found what she was looking for. "Alright, go girl, you still have exactly 1 minute left before the late bell rings." She slammed her locker shut and looked at the figure slumped on the ground where she had dropped him with swirls in his eyes. "SYAORAN!" She screeched. "DO YOU WANT TO BE LATE OR SOMETHING?!"
He looked at her with a dizzy expression. "Too… Tired… Need… Rest…"
"DAMN YOU!!" She sighed rolling her eyes. "He needs some real work out." Being his friend, she pinned him by the back or his shirt collar and dragged him to class, just as she was about to enter class, the late bell rang, but lucky for her, she made it inside just before the door shut, meaning, she wasn't late.
Mrs. Ranmutela raised an eyebrow at her. "What happened to him?" She pointed at the unconscious Syaoran. There were 'ooh's' and 'ahh's' from the staring students.
"Oh nothing, he just need some more work outs, that's all… but don't count him as late because he's not." She dropped him on his seat and pretended to have lost her eraser and started looking everywhere for it, and taking that opportunity, she collected each of her friends' 2 cards and then quietly nudged Rika. Rika took a deep breath and grabbed a card from the eight.
"Ms. Kinomoto, if you're done looking for that eraser of yours, I think now would be an appropriate time to return to your seats so I may start the class."
"Oh yes, of course, I'll look for my eraser later. I mean I can't possibly take the guilt of knowing the students have lost their education time because of little old me."
Again, her eyebrow rose. "Oh… Kay…? Anyways, for today's math class, we will learn more about advanced algebra."
And Blah, Blah, Blah. She blabbered on and on, while Rika looked at the card in her hands. How on earth am I going to do this? I'll get into so much trouble! The truth is, Rika would've done it without a second thought. After all, she had about as much courage as Naoko did—minus the little difference. See, Naoko is a perfect student, and her parents won't mind one little mistake in school. While she, Sasaki Rika, was not at all that good in school, especially in math, and if she goes home with a note from Mrs. Ranmutela, she might as well buy her coffin now. Someone squeezed her hand. She looked beside her to see Naoko smiling at her. "It isn't that bad, once you get used to it, it's actually fun." Rika smiled a bit. That's right, who the hell cares? She had seen Sakura get out of trouble by playing Ms. Innocent, so why can't she, Sasaki Rika, the real innocent girl do the same?
All right Rika, do your thing, girl. As soon as Mrs. Ranmutela finished her boring talk and handed out their homework for today, Rika walked up to the teacher's desk and grabbed the hole-puncher. Sitting back down, she waited until almost everyone was into their work and Mrs. Ranmutela was reading some kind of a boring classic book from the 1850s. She took a deep breath. Remember, act innocent… Rika stared at the glass window then at the damn heavy hole-puncher. Here goes nothing. While no one was watching, she tightened her gripped on the hole-puncher, lifted it above her head and aimed it at the window with all her strength. The window crashed and the hole-puncher flew right into the pavement.
"FUCK!" Sakura yelled, startled by the loud sound especially since it was so damn quiet two seconds ago.
"I DIDN'T DO IT MOTHER, I SWEAR!" Syaoran suddenly woke up looking around. "Oh, never mind." He added sheepishly. "Where the hell am I?"
"HOLY SHIT!" Both Chiharu and Naoko's face shot up from their paper.
"EEK!" Tomoyo shrieked.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Eriol blurted out.
There were screams, cries, and curses; even the teacher uttered a little 'GAAH' before every eye landed on Rika.
Suddenly, she burst into tears. "I'm SORRY!!" She howled through all the 'water work'. Running up to Mrs. Ranmutela, she hugged her tightly and continued to cover her face with tears. "I'M SO SORRY!! I WAS GOING TO USE THE HOLE-PUNCHER WHEN I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING AND—UM—I WAS SO HAPPY AND ACCIDENTALLY THREW IT RIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!! I AM SO SORRY!!"
She would've said 'no' to Rika, but knowing every pair of eyes in the classroom were on her, she knew saying 'no' wouldn't increase her popularity which already is pretty low. Forcing an ugly smile on her face, she said through clenched teeth. "Oh, don't worry darling, the school will fix the window, now you just go back to your seat and continue your work, and pretend nothing happened, alright?"
"Really?"
"Yes sweetheart, no one has to know about this…"
"THANK YOU!" Rika hugged her tighter and burst into another round of tears before sitting down.
"Someone needs to remind me why I'm still here." The teacher muttered to herself as soon as Rika had sat down. "Great, she wet my cloth, that little brat…"
"Where am I?" Syaoran asked again.
Mrs. Ranmutela sighed. "You're in SCHOOL! What do you think? The carnival?"
"Oh… How did I end up in school? All I remember was…" He glared at Sakura and whispered, "We need to talk, after this period."
After the period…
"Rika, was that really an accident?" Tomoyo asked once they were all outta the hell-hole-classroom.
"Of course not," Rika giggled and leaned closer to whispered in Tomoyo's ear since Syaoran was nagging at the yawning Sakura and Eriol was trying to convince the stalking girls to get away from him, but just to make sure… "That was my first dare."
"REALLY?!"
"SHHHH!!"
"Gomenasai. But, really? I thought that seriously was an accident, even though the excuse was pretty lame… how did you get yourself to start crying?"
Naoko and Chiharu walked out of the classroom and joined their friends. "Whatcha guys talking about?"
"About Rika's first dare." Tomoyo winked. "Anyways, she was just about to explain how she managed to cry like that."
"Well when you guys were all yelping, I poked my eyes." The three girls sweat dropped. "I know you must think I'm crazy but I mean if I don't, Mrs. Ranmutela would call my parents and they'd kill me!"
"HELLO!! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!" They turned around to see where the voice had came from only to see Syaoran's irritated face and Sakura who looked like she's about to fall asleep.
"I think so."
"Then what did I say?!"
"HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW?!"
"YOU SAID YOU WERE LISTENING!!"
"I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR YOUR QUESTION! THAT'S WHY I SAID 'I THINK SO' 'CAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT YOU JUST ASKED AND THAT'S ALWAYS THE SAFEST WAY TO GO!"
Syaoran threw his hands up in the air and shook his head. "You're hopeless you know that?"
"Well if you'd talk about something more interesting I just might listen!"
Rika turned around to look at her dotted-eyed friends. "Uh guys? Next period is about to start… Who has the cards?"
They pointed at the auburn-haired girl.
"Oh." Rika walked behind Sakura and gently tapped her on her shoulder. "Umm Sakura?"
"Oh C'mon! It's not my fault you passed out! At least you weren't late…"
"You made me run all that while you could've given me another pair of roller blades!"
"What makes you think I had another pair?"
"Well since you're such a great runner why couldn't you give me your blades and let ME drag YOU instead?!"
"Because they're MY blades!"
Rika tapped her again. "Sakura? I need the cards…?"
"Well why couldn't you have left the house earlier?!"
"Why did you have to sit in front of my gate?"
"Why couldn't you just give me those cards so we don't have to be after each other's neck like this?" (A/N: With Syaoran after the 'cards' and Sakura hiding them, it's starting to sound like when Syaoran was after Sakura's 'Clow Cards' eh? Hehe…)
Rika took another step forward. "Sakura… Class is about to start…"
"Why can't you just give up and stop being Mr. Stubborn because I'm always Ms. Even-More-Stubborn and no one is ever going to change that!!"
"Why are we fighting over some stupid card right now?!"
She shrugged. "Who said we were fighting? We were ARGUING."
He sighed. This girl is definitely—uh—different from ANYONE (Boy or girl) he's ever met. "Alright, peace, for now, how 'bout it? Don't wanna be late for the next class… By the way, why were you in such a hurry about not being late today? I thought you didn't care."
"I don't, but Tory and I made a bet last night. He bet that I couldn't get to class on time every morning for the rest of the week, and I said I could. So now, the loser has to clean the WHOLE house for a whole week without help from any maids or servants… And you know I can't possibly back down from a bet…"
Rika frown slightly, they're going to be late soon… "Sakura, I really need to pick a card now… The bell seriously is going to ring soon!"
"Gosh! That's just cruel! Your house is huge!"
"I know, that's the whole point of a punishment, you got to make things bad for the loser…"
Chiharu walked up beside Rika, her face was burning with rage. "If you want to get her attention, tapping isn't going to do you any good! This is what you do." She took a DEEP breath. "GODDAMIT KINO-FUCKING-MOTO SAKURA SOMEONE'S BEEN TRYING TO GET YOUR FUCKING ATTENTION FOR THE LAST 5 MINUTES AND YOU'VE JUST BEEN IGNORING HER! BAKA!" She whacked her fist across the poor girl's head.
All was quietly for exactly 5 seconds, until Sakura turned around and faced Chiharu. "You touch me again, Mihara, you die. Got it?" Her emerald eyes flashed dangerously, and her make-up certainly didn't help.
Chiharu took a step back. "Ok, ok… Anyways, I'm just here to say that class is about start soon and Rika needs the 'cards'." She winked.
Sakura's sharp eyes landed on the white piece of paper clutched in Rika's right hands, without warning, she pried Rika's fingers open and quickly slid the card into her left pocket. She could hear Syaoran's silent cursing behind her. "Anyways, pick one, it's in my right pocket."
Rika nodded and pulled one out and hid it behind her back before even Sakura could catch a glimpse. "See you guys in Social Studies!" She winked and left.
RING RING!
"Well, we'd better get going." Eriol commented when he was finally freed of the annoying girls. He sighed. "I didn't even get to say a word to Tomoyo…"
Second Period of Chaos…
Mrs. Washiyo walked in class with her history textbook tugged safely under her arms. "Ok class, today for history, we're going to try something new for a change. Instead of geography, we're doing history today—"
"Wait a minute here," Rika held up her index finger to stop the teacher from talking. "I've just been to the principal's office and he has given me specific questions to ask you for this class. Meaning today, no history, but we're having a little survey."
"But—"
"NO! DON'T YOU ARGUE WITH ME! SHUT UP ALRIGHT?"
"But—"
"NO! LISTEN TO ME! WHEN I SAY SHUT UP YOU WILL SHUT IT NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU WILL LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH! GOT IT?" Rika breathed heavily putting on a fake enraged face.
"Don't you DARE talk that way to me Ms. Sasaki, I will call your parents if you don't stop this strange behavior this instant."
Rika shook her head calmly, even though her inside is screaming for her to stop. "No, you listen to me, if you want to keep your job, you will do as I say, got it? I was given special permission to do so, why don't you hold your anger just for today, and I swear to you, nothing like this will ever happen again. How about it?" Please don't make her call the principal here and ask him personally! If she does, they'll know I'm lying and they'll definitely call my parents!! Oh gosh! Why did I get myself into this?
She looked hesitant. "Alright, fine." She replied after what seemed like forever.
Rika smiled and walked up to her with two pieces of paper in her hands.
"Alright, first question, when was the last time you had sex?"
"EXCUSE ME?"
"Hey, don't look at me, these are the principal's questions, I suggest you answer them or get fired." She said matter-of-factly.
"Alright, but can you keep it down?"
"Why? It's not like they're PERSONAL or anything…"
She sighed. "How about this, read me all the questions first and then I'll answer them?"
"Ok, there are 10 questions in total. First, I already asked you. Second, have you ever had a shower with your husband? Third, when are you planning to have a divorce? Fourth, are you currently pregnant? Fifth, have you ever cheated on your husband? If so, how many times? And what are their names? Six, what's your bra size? Seven, what movie have you not seen but want to see? Eight, what do you buy at Victoria's Secret? Nine, if you were dared to screw another man, who would he be? And last but not least, what do you think of the principal? Handsome, cute or just plain."
At least 5 minutes have passed before Mrs. Washiyo stuttered out an "Excuse me?"
"You heard me." Rika replied with a blank face. "I didn't make up the questions, he did, so keep your job and answer, or lose your job and don't."
Well, she thought Rika was serious, and Rika, let's just say, had to 'confirm' all the answers were correct and read it out loud and made sure the whole class heard.
After…
"Ms. Sasaki, be very afraid next Social Studies class…" Mrs. Washiyo threatened. Rika smiled sweetly in return and left.
"What are you planning to do with all that information?"
"Oh, I don't know…" She said thoughtfully. "Let's see, maybe I can throw it in the garbage so nobody will ever read it."
"WHAT?!"
"Haha, just kidding, I was thinking we can make photo copies of it and post it all over the school! How about it you guys? After all, like no student likes her, she's just too grumpy and mean."
"THAT'S A GOOD GIRL!"
Syaoran turn to look at Sakura. "Have you decided to give me the cards yet?"
Sakura gave him an odd look. "In your dreams… Sure."
"Fine, but I know that Rika would have to take one from you before next class and that's when I'll—"
"Oh, I just remember, we have writing next which means you and Eriol have Chemistry right? Right ok, now be good boys and get into your class!" Luckily, the science lab was right next to Social Studies room, Sakura pushed them into the room and shut the door. "Don't come out until class is over!" She chirped, then turned towards her gigging friends. "So, Rika, pass me your card and choose one of the six." She said spreading the leftover cards facedown to Rika.
Rika pushed her card into Sakura's pocket and closed her eyes, picking the first card her fingers came in contact with, she read it over 5 times, closing her eyes, she sighed sadly. "I can't believe this, Mr. Terada will never like me again!"
"You like Mr. Terada?" Sakura's eyes widened. "I remember that he was your worst nightmare!!"
Rika covered her blushing cheeks. "Oh well, it's different now…"
She sighed. "Ah well, a dare's a dare, you still gotta do it."
"I know, I know, let's just hope that he'll buy my innocent act… Hey, wanna come with me to the photo-copying room?" They nodded and left chatting happily.
Third Period…
The bell had just rang, class had already started when the door bursts open revealing 5 giggling girls.
"May I ask why you're all—"
"We're in trouble…" Tomoyo whispered still giggling.
"No, I can get us out of this one…" Naoko walked up to Mr. Terada and winked. "So, handsome, how are you doing today? If you're going to give us detentions, you know I'm always glad to have one right? After all, I'm DYING to spend some—ahem—time with you…"
"No." He said quickly. "No detentions for any of you, just go to your seat, and Naoko, PLEASE, keep AWAY from me!"
They each laughed out loud and skipped to their seats. Rika stole a glance at him and at her troublesome card in her hand. Sighing, she sat down at her seat, beside Tomoyo.
"A-Anyways," he began making sure all his students kept their distance. "See the piece of paper on your desk? I will give you a total of five minutes, and I want you to write the best story you can all right? It can be a short poem, half the story or just the beginning, doesn't matter; I'm not looking for length but quality. Everyone understand?"
"Hai."
"Begin… NOW!"
Five minutes after…
"STOP!" Every student rose from their seat and handed in their story, during the line up, Rika was nervous but, she knew she had to get this over with sooner or later, though she preferred it to be as later as possible. Sadly, she has to do this in less than 2 minutes.
Finally, it was her turn to hand in her story. While Mr. Terada was sticking out his hand for her page; she quickly swept his marker onto the ground. "Um, Mr. Terada, your marker is on the ground… behind you…"
"Oh, thank you Rika, for telling me!" He turned around and leaned over to pick it up. She turned around to see who was behind her. Perfect, the school slut. Rika raise her foot, inhaled deeply, and kicked Mr. Terada's ass, and let's just say, he fell face down toward the cold ground.
"YIKE—OW!"
The girl behind her sniggered quietly. "Clumsy fool." She spat.
You could practically see the smoke coming out of Rika's ears. You won't be saying that any longer. She quickly made her way to Mr. Terada and bent down, "Oh my gosh! Mr. TERADA!! I AM SO SORRY!! BUT SERIOUSLY, IT WASN'T MY FAULT!" She sniffed with tears streaming down her face. "I WAS JUST—UM—GOING TO TIE MY SHOE LACE WHEN ASHLEY (That's the 'school slut's' name) PUSHED ME CAUSING ME TO KICKED YOUR ASS—I MEAN KICK YOU!" Hot tears were pouring out the corner of her eyes uncontrollably now. "YOU KNOW YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE SENSEI! WHY WOULD I DO THAT TO YOU ON PURPOSE?!"
"WHAT THE HELL? THE BITCH IS LYING! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! IT WAS ALL HER FAULT!" Ashley protested, her eyes widening.
Oops, wrong move calling Rika a 'bitch' especially when she was being accused of trying to hurt the teacher on purpose.
"ASHLEY! YOU CURRENTLY HAVE DETENTION FOR LUNCH AND AFTER SCHOOL FOR A WHOLE MONTH STARTING NOW, AND IF YOU DON'T WATCH YOUR MOUTH I'LL MAKE IT TWO MONTHS!" Mr. Terada barked still rubbing Rika's back trying to calm her down and stop her cries. "Rika, don't worry, no one's mad at you, now please, stop crying… You're not gonna get into any trouble…"
"Really?" She asked staring at him with glistening eyes.
"Of course." He gave her a quick hug. "Now go back to your seat, all right?"
She nodded and smiled. "Thank you so much Mr. Terada." She stood up and walked away. As she passed Ashley, the girl hissed at her.
"You will pay for doing this to me, got it Sasaki?"
Rika smirked at her before bursting into another round of tears again, falling dramatically on top of Mr. Terada's desk. "MR. TERADA!! ASHLEY JUST THREATENED ME!!"
Ashley's face paled. She looked at the Rika who sounded like she was crying but was actually smirking and mouthed, 'bitch' to her.
"ASHLEY! PERHAPS ANOTHER MONTH OF DETENTION WILL DO YOU SOME GOOD." He turned to Rika. "Are you ok now?"
"Yes, thank you." Rika walked by Ashley and said through closed lips. "Don't mess with me, slut."
Fourth Period…
"How the hell do you do that, girl?" Chiharu asked Rika, still amused.
"Do what?"
"Fake cry, do all the shit and not get into an ounce of trouble!"
"What do you mean? Isn't that the whole point? To do all this stuff and not get into trouble?"
"OF COURSE NOT! WHO THE HELL CARES IF YOU GET A DETENTION OR NOT? BUT HOW THE HECK DO YOU BURST INTO TEARS LIKE THAT?"
"Oh… Well, I have to do that since if I get into trouble… well, you know how strict my parents are… Besides, I've never been bad in my life so of course the teachers would believe me… And how do I keep on burst out crying like that? I got dust in my eyes and I took that opportunity and forced as much tear out as possible…"
Everyone sweat dropped. "You seem to always have 'tears' at the right time though, neh?"
"I suppose. What do we have next?" Rika asked the same time picking a card from Sakura.
Naoko took out her schedule. "DARN! We got stupid French next! UGH! Oh by the way Rika, you did a good job at getting the whore in trouble. Go Rika!" Naoko smiled and high-fived her friend.
They walked by the principal's office where they heard arguing…
"For the last time Mrs.Washiyo, I did not send Rika or any student to ask you any questions let alone personal ones!"
"Don't lie! And you threatened that if I don't answer I'll get FIRED!"
"Please listen to me! I did no such thing! Why would you trust Sasaki instead of me?"
"Because Ms. Sasaki NEVER lies and YOU'RE the one who's ALWAYS joking around! If this is another one of your pathetic pranks, I got a suggestion for you, GROW UP!"
"Mrs. Washiyo, this time, I swear to you I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about! This one was definitely not my idea, maybe Rika wanted some fun and I don't know, decided to blame it all on me!"
Sakura looked at her friends. "The wisest idea right now is to haul ass. If Mrs. Washiyo realizes that Rika is out here right now, she'd obviously ask her in personally… and Rika my friend, you'd either get in trouble by the principal, or our Social Studies teacher."
Rika sweat dropped. "There's no way out of this is there? Well, I'd say we'd better go."
The five best friends made their way upstairs and into the French room, sadly, before they reached there, they met Ashley, and her two best friends, aka her two follower wannabes…
"Listen Sasaki, you've just gotten me into two month worth of trouble both afternoon and lunch. You do know that I'm the captain of the cheerleading team right? And without me, my team is nothing ok, so be a dear and tell Mr. Terada how everything was your fault and you'll take my detention, or," She got into a fighting stance. "it's your funeral."
Sakura froze with anger. One thing that never changed is her loyalty. And nobody, absolutely nobody, messes with her, or her friends. Turning around slowly, she landed her gaze right on the one name Ashley. There's no way she'll allow her friends to be given shit like that, and you better believe it—she means business.
Ashley could feel the girl's emerald gaze piecing right through her, and suddenly, she felt weak and useless. "Kinomoto? Why are you… protecting this-this, this nobody?"
Sakura hardened her gaze. "This 'nobody' is my best and childhood friend, got it?" She too, got into a fighting stance. Though much more advanced. "Back off, unless you're looking for a fight."
"Kinomoto-sama, please, I have to do this, my cheerleading team needs a leader, and without me, our school cheerleading team will SUCK! Just let me get this worthless piece of junk to apologize and everyone will be happy! Besides, what's a popular girl like you doing hanging around a little good-for-nothing bitch like her?"
That was the last straw; no one calls any of her friends a 'bitch'! "You asked for it." Her voice was calm, but her eyes and expression betrayed her. She aimed a punch at the girl with pure hatred, as Ashley blocked her punch with her arms. But even so, Sakura's punch was so hard that she injured the girl's arm badly.
"AHHH!!" She yelped in pain. But Sakura paid no heed to that as she kneed Ashley in the stomach, followed by a kick under her chin. She was ready to aim her last kick at the girl's face and knock her unconscious when someone pulled her backwards, hard. So hard that she lost her balance and fell. The person however, caught her before she touched the solid ground. "DAMN YOU!" She growled with fire in her eyes. At the moment, she looked as if she was going to bite someone's head off soon.
"Sakura." The voice said firmly. "Don't. If you knock her unconscious, you'll be expelled."
She stopped and thought for a minute. "You're right Syaoran, I was just so angry at her for all the stuff she had called Rika." She forced the words out through gritted teeth.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" They all turned to find Madame Cormier standing there with her arms crossed. "Li Syaoran, were you attacking both Ashley and Ms. Kinomoto? Class, go in. Ashley, go to the office and get some ice. Li Syaoran and Kinomoto Sakura, my office, now."
After…
(A/N: LOL my French sucks, thus freetranslations. com out of pure laziness / illiteracy-in-French. Though freetranslations wasn't much better. Not a word on French-not-making-sense.)
"Oh vraiment ? Ainsi Ashley était celui pour le commencer tout? Et Syaoran ici essayait de vous casser vers le haut deux du combat ?" (Oh really? So Ashley was the one to start it all? And Syaoran here was trying to break up you two from fighting?)
"Qui."
"Ah, si c'est le cas, laissez-nous retourner à la classe. Merci M. Li, et essayez svp de commander votre colère la fois prochaine, Mme. Kinomoto." (Oh, if that's the case, let's go back to class. Thank you Mr. Li, and please try controlling your anger next time, Ms. Kinomoto)
They both nodded. "Pouvons-nous rester ici pendant deux minutes? Je voudrais parler à Sakura avant le renvoi à la classe... Est-ce que c'est bien?" (Can we stay here for two minutes? I would like to talk to Sakura before returning to class… Is that ok?) Syaoran asked softly.
"Oh oui! Naturellement! Juste ne prenez pas trop long..." (Oh yes! Of course! Just don't take too long…) Madame Cormier smiled briefly and walked back to the classroom.
He sighed and looked at the girl sitting emotionlessly with her arms folded across her chest beside him. "Do what she says, Sakura. If you do get expelled, the school will be a mess again…" She looked at him and tilted her head in confusion. "Before you came, the girls were all over me, your friends were the innocents girls of the school and they were often picked on. A lot of the guys have threatened girls into going out with them, then treating them badly during the date… When you came, less girls are stalking me, your friends are no longer picked on, and the guys wouldn't dare to mistreat girls for anything because they know you wouldn't allow it… Even if your ways are kinda strange, you've changed the school for the better, Sakura."
The corner of her lips tugged slightly. "Thank you." She whispered sincerely. "For stopping me just in time today, I wouldn't want to get expelled and never see you or any of my friends again…" She hugged him gently and smiled.
He grinned back. "No problem, but you know I'm still after your cards, right?" He said in a boyish tone.
She burst out laughing. "I know, I know, how can I not? Let's just go back to class and settle this at lunch, all right?"
"Let's go then."
Class…
Madame Cormier walked into the class smiling happily. "Classe, pouvoir j'ai votre attention s'il vous plaît, aujourd'hui, nous ferons—" She froze. She was shocked. On the walls of the class, clearly in spray paint, it says, 'Rika's here', or 'Girlz Rule!' or 'Don't mess wit Rika Sasaki', or 'School is like hell' and so on… the classroom wall was covered with spray paints; different coloured, variety of swear words, and a lot more. On her desk, her marking sheets and people's homework all had huge 'X's planted in the middle, with a gigantic '0' in the corner along with the words: 'You SUCK! From: Rika Sasaki' written in permanent marker.
Her head raised to look at Rika whose face was buried on her desk, she was… crying?! "Rika, what is the meaning of this?" She asked softly. "Why did you do all… all this?"
Rika raised her head and looked at her with watery eyes, as large portions of teardrops were still rolling down her cheek. Her voice was weak and hoarse. "I-I-I'm really s-sorry, I-I really am… It wasn't my f-f-f-f-f-fault… Ashley said t-t-that if I-I-I don't, S-She'll hurt me a-a-a-after s-school today!"
"WHAT? I DID NO SUCH THING! DO NOT LISTEN TO HER! SHE'S JUST A BIG LIAR!"
Madame Cormier looked over the two girls. "Je semble avoir entendu la même chose de M. Terada, non seulement Ashley a-t-il essayé de vous obtenir, Rika, dans l'ennui, mais également menacé vous. Mais je ne sauterai pas aux conclusions cependant, classe, à qui idée était il? Ashley, ou Rika?" (I seem to have heard similar dispute from Mr. Terada. Not only did Ashley try getting you, Rika, in trouble, but also threatened you. But I won't jump to conclusions however. So class, whose idea was it? Ashley's, or Rika's?)
"IT WAS RIKA'S/ASHLEY'S!" That isn't helping, is it? Half the class is saying it's Rika's idea while the other half is blaming Ashley.
Madame Cormier looked over at the two girls. Both looked sincere, one sincerely angry, as if just been accused of for something they didn't do, while the other was sincerely misunderstood. She was just… sad. As if really been forced to do something she did not want to… Madame Cormier sighed. "We'll pretend this has never happened, but whoever did do it, let this be a warning to you—I shall not be so generous next time. I'll call the janitor here to clean up the mess… Anyways, let class continue…"
After…
"We should carry onions with us next time…" Chiharu shook her head slightly. "Just look at Rika, completing all the dares while not getting into ANY trouble at all!! And not only that, she's getting others in trouble for her!!"
"Who's stopping you?" Tomoyo questioned. "You can bring a whole bucket of onions tomorrow for all I care!"
"Nah, no point. Rika's only doing this because her parents'll kill her if she gets into any kind of trouble; otherwise, Rika here wouldn't care whether she got a detention or even suspended! Isn't that right Rika?"
Rika nodded slowly. "Probably… Hey guys, where's Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol?"
Naoko thought for a bit. "Oh yah, I just remembered, Sakura said Syaoran has to talk to her about something, and Eriol? He has basketball practice… I guess it's just the four of us eating lunch today instead of the usual 5 or 7 eh?"
Tomoyo pouted. "Aww! I don't get to see Eriol again!"
"Oh well, Sakura'll join us soon, after all, they're only having a little talk, I mean it's not like Syaoran's gonna corner her and force her to give him those 'dare cards' or anything eh?" Chiharu shrugged as they dug into their lunch.
Sakura and Syaoran…
Sakura stood in the corner of the classroom while Syaoran, being easily a head taller than her, towered over her easily. "I've cornered you and you can't escape, so pass the cards."
Sakura looked at him with a bored expression. "Why would you go through all this trouble for some cards? It's not like you're getting embarrassed or anything. Rika and Naoko are the ones who's making a fool outta themselves, why would you care?"
"I'm only playing your game! I mean why would you care if I knew or not? I always keep promises, and if you show me those cards, I SWEAR I'll give them back to you and not utter a single word about it to anyone, not even to your friends. How about it? Fair enough isn't it?"
She shook her head with a playful smile. "I don't break promises either, and I promised my friends that I wouldn't tell ANYONE."
Syaoran smirked at her. "I'm not letting you go until you give up."
"How much do you know about me, Syaoran? Hmm? I would say not much at all. For example, did you know that I'm quite good at gymnastics?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" He raised an eyebrow at her.
"You'll see." It looked as if she was doing nothing but staring at his shoulders, but once she was ready, she placed both her hands at where she was staring and flipped right over his head!
"HOLY CRAP! How'd you do that?" He spun around with his mouth dropped open. That's when they both noticed something; when Sakura flipped over, one of her cards had fallen on the ground right between them, face down.
Sakura stared at Syaoran, he stared back at her, both daring the other to make a move. "It's right there, go get it." She whispered not daring to break the eye contact.
"No, you get it, since you don't want me seeing it so badly…" Neither of them moved as they stood there staring at each other, "why aren't you getting it?" He asked again.
"Why aren't you?" A minute passed. "This isn't getting anywhere." Another minute. "Someone's gotta make the first move…" And another. "And that person, will be, me."
The second she finished those word, Sakura jumped to the ground right where the card lay. Her reflexes are excellent, but Syaoran's ain't bad either. Seeing she had finally made a move, he practically jumped right onto her. But Sakura landed first as she grasped the card quickly; her fist clenched tightly with the card inside. Syaoran, on the other hand was trying to pry her fingers free with absolutely no luck. "Be a good girl and pass it to me all right?"
"Get your hand off of mine!" She smirked. "Before I have to hurt you."
"Yah, like how?" He sat up, though still pulling at her fingers while Sakura remained with her stomach flat on the ground. (A/N: Try imagining that, Syaoran sitting up on his butt pulling at Sakura's fingers while she's still lying on the ground… Sort of like when you're trying to drag someone ashore… Something like that… :P)
"I'm telling you, LET GO before I HURT YOU because I WILL!"
"Why aren't you?"
"That's it, you so asked for it." With that, she bit him, right on his knuckles… HARD.
"GODDMIT YOU ANIMAL!" He shrieked pulling his hand back.
Sakura sat up and placed the card carefully in her pocket and crawled over to sit beside him. "See? I told you I would." She gave him a grin while he just looked at her with a horrified expression. She took his hand and examined it, then made a face. "Oh well, consider yourself lucky."
"Lucky? LUCKY?! You just BIT me! Give me one good reason why!"
"Because your hand is not bleeding. Usually when I bite someone, they end up needing to go to the hospital and get stitches… Darn, I'm getting soft these days…" She muttered to herself.
He stared at her in disbelief. "You always seem to amaze me somehow… the first time was when you made me think you were giving up and took that opportunity to snatch the card, then you are Ms. Nice-nice, the next thing I know, you're about to knock someone unconscious. And today at lunch—first, you jump right over me when I'm that much taller than you, now, you just bit me, telling me I'm lucky that my hand isn't bleeding and in need of stitches?! Who are you?"
She smiled showing him her fangs. "The devil's daughter."
