Sakura sat in her usual seat waiting for Syaoran. She was so excited today because she could get to know Syaoran better. And no one would think she was odd. But Syaoran was late!
The door opened and Syaoran walked in. Sakura looked towards him and her heart flew up to her throat. He looked gorgeous! He was wearing his usual school uniform but it looked sexy on him somehow. His hair was all messed up which was a change from his usual groomed look and his eyes were blazing with something she couldn't put her finger on. He came up to her and sat down in his seat.
"Hi." He said breathlessly. "Sorry I'm late. I couldn't even do my hair!" Sakura giggled and Syaoran smiled at her while trying to pat down his hair.
"Syaoran?"
"Yep?"
"Leave your hair."
"What?"
"Leave your hair as it is. It looks gorgeous." Sakura smiled at the blush on Syaoran's face.
"You think so?"
"Definitely." Syaoran nodded his head and Sakura smiled even more. "Come here." Sakura motioned with her hand and Syaoran obliged by leaning his head towards her. She ruffled his hair up even more. "Do that every so often and you'll look simply stunning." Syaoran looked sceptical but he didn't object.
The sensei entered and the class begun. Half the time Sakura was talking to Syaoran and occasionally she was caught out but she didn't care. Syaoran was talking to her and that was all she wanted.
When the bell went indicating lunch Sakura grabbed Syaoran's hand and pulled him outside. "I found this place yesterday when I was being guided around." She explained as Syaoran was being pulled away further from the school. Soon they came to a halt and Syaoran looked around. He gasped.
"It's amazing." He stated. He was looking at a little garden. There was a tree in the middle of it that looked to be hundreds of years old. The tree was surrounded by flowers of all colours and types. There was one flower that stuck out from the rest. Syaoran went up to it and stroked it's petals ever so softly.
"That's a bird of paradise." Sakura said gently as not to disturb Syaoran. "It's beautiful huh?"
Syaoran looked up and gazed right into Sakura's eyes. "Yes. It is."
A lump formed in Sakura's throat and she coughed at the awkwardness of the situation but she couldn't calm down her rapidly beating heart.
He practically called her beautiful! Yes! A huge grin spread across Sakura's face subconsciously and Syaoran smiled slightly, turning back to look at the flower.
"So how come no one else knows about this place?"
"I don't know. Maybe they're all thick." Sakura giggled to herself and Syaoran laughed softly.
"Maybe they are." Said Syaoran as he sat down with his back to the tree. He took out his lunchbox and took a bite out of his sandwich. While he was doing this Sakura watched him. He was so intriguing. Everything he did, he did it with grace and poise and he looked almost royalty.
"Syaoran?" She asked, sitting down next to him.
"Mmm."
"How come you're so posh."
"Posh?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah. Everything you do, you do it in a certain way. Like when you eat. Or when you walk or even when you talk." Syaoran's face visibly darkened as Sakura went on. "Your quite posh really." She concluded cheerfully. Then she saw Syaoran's face. "What?"
"She didn't tell you?" He said huskily.
"Who?"
"Tomoyo. When she was guiding you around I figured she would tell you about me. She doesn't like people socializing with me and I thought she would tell you every little detail but apparently she hasn't." Syaoran mused to himself in a hushed whisper although Sakura heard it all.
"I don't like Tomoyo. She told me to stay away from you." Syaoran looked at her in shock and Sakura smiled. "But I didn't want to. I wanted to get to know you so I did." She said brightly as she moved closer to him. She then gently took his hand in hers and traced his fingers with hers.
Keeping her gaze on his fingers so he wouldn't see her blush she asked him a question, "Syaoran? Why does everybody hate you?"
Sakura heard Syaoran breath in deeply but she had a feeling it was towards the things she was doing with his hand rather than the question. Then he gently laced their fingers together and Sakura forgot how to breath.
"I don't know why people hate me so. I come from a rich family and I think that may be the reason. That would also explain the posh-ness." He let out a little chuckle, fully expecting Sakura to giggle but she didn't. He tried his best to look at her face but with her looking the opposite way it was a little hard. "Sakura? You okay?" He asked gently. He saw the briefest nod of her head and he sighed, deciding he wasn't going to get an answer out of her.
He leaned his head back on the tree and closed his eyes softly. He felt movement and assumed it must be coming from Sakura but he didn't open his eyes. She was obviously embarrassed so he left her alone.
"Why do people hate you so much when you are so nice?" Syaoran could hear her voice and it struck something inside of him. He gently opened his eyes and saw her kneeling in front of him, close to tears.
"Sakura?"
"I don't get it. Your such a nice guy. If people got to know you they wouldn't make fun of you. I know they wouldn't." She stood up abruptly and walked a few steps, her back turned to Syaoran. "People are so shallow!" She shouted. "And I used to be one of them." She whispered before she collapsed to her knees.
Syaoran sat there in shock. He had never really had a girl as a friend let alone have one collapse and cry. What did he have to do!?
He got up and walked over to Sakura. "Hey." He said softly. "Hey. Don't cry." He rubbed her back trying his best to think of what to do.
"You've never comforted a girl have you?" Came a muffled question from Sakura.
"Well-no. Not really."
"Can I give some advise?"
"Sure."
"Hug me." She said quietly and Syaoran blushed viciously. But he did as he was told and wrapped his arms around her delicately. But as Sakura turned around in his arms and snuggled close to his chest he held her tighter. His hand shot up and caressed her hair lovingly and he made shushing noises.
Sakura giggled. "Your not bad for a first timer."
"That can be interpreted in several other ways Sakura."
"Let's find out those ways." Sakura said huskily as Syaoran blushed.
"I don't think that's a good- I mean people may see- and you-"
"Syaoran?" Sakura giggled softly, cutting his rambling. "I was kidding." She said gently and Syaoran blushed even more.
"Yeah. Me too." He said in his best macho voice and Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Your so adorable!" She squealed as she pinched his cheeks and shook his head.
"That hurts Sakura!" Syaoran almost yelled but Sakura just laughed more. She got up and ran from her place to the other side of the garden.
"Can't catch me!" She said happily. She soon screamed as Syaoran got up and ran after her.
Syaoran soon caught up with Sakura and grabbed her waist gently causing her to be pulled down onto the floor, Syaoran on the bottom. They laughed for a while, but soon the laughter died and they just lay there. Sakura's hands started to search for something and upon finding it she laced her fingers with it. Syaoran blushed again as he felt Sakura hold his hand.
He thought that this situation was slightly awkward but she didn't seem to move and he didn't want to move so he decided to just settle for this now. His breath tickled Sakura's neck and the feel of his chest pressed against her back made heat rush to her face. She sighed contently and half turned so she was resting on her side, on Syaoran's stomach.
The bell could be heard ringing in the background but neither person made a move to get up.
"We really should go to class you know?" Syaoran said after a few seconds of lazing about.
"I suppose your right." Sakura said softly and got off of him with grace. She then turned and helped Syaoran get up by holding out her hand. He graciously took it and got up. They both then walked back to class, neither letting go of the other's hand.
This is so sweet! I actually don't know if it makes any sense. Also, don't expect me to be updating every day now. This was a one off because I happened to not go to school today. So you might have to wait a while for the next one. Please review! It will make me so happy. Ciao!
