Chapter 2 - Give me a break!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*School corridor*
"Sakura-chan, daijoubu? You seem a bit distracted today." Tomoyo-chan asked, knowing nothing about her best friend. [A/N: DUH! She's off to spend time with Eriol, no wonder.]
Snapping out of her trance, Sakura effortlessly replied, "Hoe? Oh, me? I felt like a burnt toast today, all those glaring, starring and more glaring. .*shakes head* Especially when Li-kun is looking at me - no, looking through me..Hoeeeee!"
"Well, Sakura, you should try to befriend him then, maybe he's just lonely." Tomoyo suggested, whereas actually, she have had a motive behind..
Sakura lightened up at the suggestion, she smiled and began to hum her all time favourite tune. "Thanks Tomoyo-chan, you are the best!"
"Ho ho ho ho! Anytime Sakura-chan, anytime." With starry eyes, Tomoyo replied sweetly. A bit too sweetly for comfort.
* * *
*With Eriol and Syaoran*
Syaoran crept down the pathway walk, wanting to avoid somebody---- to avoid a certain ..
"Hello, descendant. Good day!" Eriol mocked, his face plastered on a mysterious smile.
"What's your problem, Hiiragizawa? Stop following me like a dog! Even if you are one, I'm not glorious even to own you." Syaoran shot back, his aura flared up, spreading over the place.
"I'm hurt. To your dismay, I'm a human, your ancestor, your friend, and your companion. On top of it, I'm a young one too!" Eriol spoke, he's got lots of patience to waste.
Fearing that this conversation will get him nowhere, Syaoran ignored him and continued walking. Surprising enough, his feet were stuck to the floor. Straightaway he shouted, "Remove your stupid spell, Hiiragizawa! I'm not in the mood to play with you."
"Touché Syaoran. Man, I'm just trying to have a conversation with you. Why do you have to be so hard?"
"Stop your blabbering! Just let me off, will you? You idiotic basta.." Syaoran's voice was cut off as he heard someone coming.
*Da di da di dum, di da dum.* Sakura immediately stopped humming when she saw them. Grabbing Tomoyo's hand, she greeted "Hello, Eriol-kun, Li-kun!"
Eriol nod his head in return whereas Syaoran turned away rudely. Sakura seems a bit disappointed by his reactions but shake it away quickly. "So, what are you guys doing?"
"Talking." Eriol answered, the grin on his face widened by 25cm. [A/N: Imagine doing that!] "Want to take a stroll at the school garden? Ne, Li- kun, what do you think?"
* * *
Syaoran's P.O.V
Aha! The perfect chance to get away from Hiiragizawa! Once I agreed, I can have my freedom. This is so easy, it's like killing two birds with one stone!
P.O.V ends
* * *
"Sure."
"That's great then!" Sakura smiled, happy that she could get him warmed out to her. "Ne, Eriol-kun, want to come along?"
Syaoran's face faltered at her question, (Damn, here goes my plan!)
"Why not? The more the merrier, right Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol asked.
"One point for Eriol-kun!" Tomoyo beamed, such a perfect couple..
"Then what are you still waiting for? Let's go!" To her great disappointment, the break's bell just rang off.
"Awww! There goes the fun." Sakura whined but another comment by Tomoyo brightened her up again "Well, there's always another time. For the time being, let's head back to class."
"Hai!" As all the others left, Syaoran silently prayed, "Thanks kami-sama!" He tried to walk but instead, he falls flat on his face, and then he realized, he's still under Eriol spell! "COME BACK HERE HIIRAGIZAWA! YOU'LL GET IT FROM ME LATER!!!"
* * *
*Home - 6.45 a.m.*
Dark clouds clouded over the normally azure sky, droplets of water started to make great impact on the ground. It was raining hard, certainly not Sakura's choice of weather. With a toss on the bed, she pries her emerald eyes open. Now widely awake, she changes into her uniform and head towards the dining room.
"Ohayo, onii-chan."
"Here, have some pancakes. It will do you no good if you are upset by the weather. Try cheering up a bit." Touya handed her the plate of pancakes and resume eating his own.
Appreciating his small act of concern, Sakura replied, " Thanks onii-chan, I'll do just what you said."
* * *
*School*
"Shut up, will you. You this annoying, thick-skin, obnoxious, irritating creature!" Syaoran blazed, living with him is doing neither of them any good. He wondered if he would still be able to withstand this anymore.
"Wow, at least you throw insults now. I thought you aren't going to talk to me anymore. I'm so hurt." Eriol said, indicating that his heart is shattered into million of pieces. "I'm heart-broken."
"Well, glued it to one whole piece then."
"Sure, I'll do that but surely the scars won't disappear." Eriol debated, one thing for sure, he loves getting Syaoran annoyed.
"Can't you just buy another new one? One more noise from you and you're dead meat." Syaoran demonstrated, lifting his index finger and slicing through his neck.
"Oh really? How are you going to do that?" Eriol smirked, he is definitely winning this round.
"DAMN IT HIIRAGIZAWA!!!" Syaoran yelled, attracting enough attention already. "Can't you just shut your mouth up? No one will consider you a mute guy if you don't talk for a minute."
With a huff, he turned swiftly around and stomp into the classroom.
"Hoeeeeee! Is this how Eriol is being treated?" Sakura questioned.
Without any warning, Eriol pop out of nowhere and answered, "Ahh, yes Sakura, this is what happen to my daily life, pity me.."
Walking towards him, Sakura comforted, "Daijoubu, Eriol-kun. From what Tomoyo told me is that Syaoran is probably just lonely. I guess that explains his behavior."
The small gesture from Sakura angered Syaoran even more. Every volcano from the Pacific Ring of Fire is going to erupt anytime now. "The nerve of him! Seducing MY Sakura!"
*Whoa, wait, hold on. MY Sakura? When did that come from?* Shaking his thoughts away, he glared at the famous Clow Reed.
Luckily for Eriol, The first bell had just rang by, preventing him from further destructions.
Tereda-sensei walked into the class and announced, "Class, we're going to a field-trip three days from now, here are some forms for your parents to fill up. We will be heading for Hong Kong two weeks and it is compulsory."
Whispers started to fill up the class as students chat excitedly about what events will be happening over the week.
"Over the two weeks there, we are going to held our lessons in a holding school in Hong Kong. Think of it as an opportunity to make new pals and friends." Tereda-sensei smiled and continue.
"Now, for the pairing up, I have already chosen your partners for you. The list will be pin on the class notice board. Make sure to have a look on them during break time." After the announcement, Terada-sensei resumed his lessons. "Class, turn to textbook page 127. Kiyoko, read paragraph 2..."
* * *
*Recess*
Students crowded around the notice board as they search for their names.
Kiyoshi - Minako
Chiharu - Yamazaki
Rika - Rey
Naoko - Masayoshi
Hikaru - Matt
Kiyoko - Ken
Misaki - Hojoru
Ayumi - Yusaki
Tomoyo - Eriol
Sakura - Syaoran
Aiko - Henito
Usagi - Mamouru
Each and every girl turned and stare in Sakura's direction enviously.
"Hey! It's not fair! Kinomoto get to pair up with Syaoran!" A snobbish voice distinctively filled up the classroom.
"Hoe! It's not like I choose to be with him." Sakura muttered, still trying to dissolve the information into her head. "For a fact, he will make my life miserable, treat me like a slave."
Tomoyo opened her mouth to assure her that nothing of this will happen but Sakura talked on. "I know for certain, he's a slave driver. He will make me work for him 24/7, or maybe....Alright", Sakura paused to take a breath, "Prepare for the worst, he may even..."
"Cooked you for dinner?" Syaoran grinned, he was actually beginning to think of this a fruitful and enjoyable trip, even though he is going back his homeland for some "friends making" - as suggested by their teacher.
"Exactly!" Sakura snapped, not recognizing the owner of the voice. "Oh and Tomoyo, thanks for the suggestion. I'll be more careful now since I know roughly what he's up to." She spun around and turns to face Tomoyo, which to her great shock, happen to be Syaoran.
"Hi, Li-, Li-kun." Sakura stammered. She grabbed Tomoyo's hand and sprinted out of the classroom, leaving only a trail of dust behind.
* * *
*Home Sweet Home*
"Otou-san, otou-san!" Sakura called, dashing down the stairs to the living room.
"Woah, Sakura, you better be careful with your steps. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Ne, otou-san, would you allow me to go on an educational trip to Hong Kong?"
Fujitaka gazed at her with wondering eyes, weighing the pros and cons if he allowed her to go.
"Please!" Sakura begged, flashing him a look of puppy eyes.
"Oh, alright." Fujitaka sighed, he could never win a battle with his adoring daughter if she used her secret weapon [puppy eyes].
"YES!!! You're the best otou-san. Love you lots!"
"On a condition that you take care of your own safety."
"I will, I will! I promise." Sakura rejoiced, planting a grateful kiss on her father's cheek.
Three more days from now, everyday life will be much more colourful. On the account of befriending Syaoran, Sakura will have lots of things to look forward to.
