"That little bitch…is my favorite song!" Sakura corrected herself enthusiastically.
"That little bitch…nana…little bitch," Sakura hummed with a content smile, attempting to look calm. Despite the expression that was on her face, Akira saw through and she really portrayed worry. He laughed and the others slowly joined in.
"Who sings it?" Tomoyo inquired, not laughing at all, a dry look on her face. Sakura and Akira began walking closer to them.
"Me." Sakura said smugly, it was time to replenish her pride. Tomoyo bit her tongue, amethyst eyes looking sharply as Sakura sat next to Syaoran, her Syaoran.
"You don't seem famous," Tomoyo spat, her disliking of Sakura grew. Veronica shot a dark look at Tomoyo, screaming, "We need to talk."
"Well, I never said I was famous, did I?" Sakura shot back, a smug smirk on her face. Tomoyo resisted the urge to slap her. Dark looks from the girls landed on Tomoyo. But sharp looks from the guys were centered on Cerise. Chris stood up from his spot and shoved Akira away from Sakura saying,
"Move," briefly before sitting at the very same spot. He gave her a heart-melting smile, that girls would faint instantly at, but instead, Sakura was stoic.
"Are you asking me to check if there's food stuck in your teeth? I don't see any food for the record, but there is ignorance lodged in your pebble brain." She stated calmly. Chris blinked before turning away, everyone was laughing at him.
"Burned!" Jamie laughed, hugging a hesitant Veronica.
"She dissed you, dude!" Timmy would have continued on but stopped quickly as Chris glared at him.
"Diss on you!" Rickey hooted, immune to the daggers shot at him from Chris. Tess cleared her throat. But the silent Syaoran just frowned at Chris.
'He should improve his behavior. Some girls just don't like up straight flirting. And that girl probably doesn't like- wait…isn't her name…C…C-something…'
"I think-Dana has an announcement!" She exclaimed perkily. Kitty sneered at her.
"I think I would know if Dana wants to say someth-"
"Actually, I do, Kitty!" Dana snapped, then turning to Tess. She smiled sugary.
"Tess, you are amazing! No wonder you're the cheerleading captain!" Dana complimented then turned to the rest of the gang. Tess stuck her tongue out at Katherine.
Akira watched from his place, very interested in the tension between the too cerulean eyed girls. He grinned, he discovered some dirt, now he's got to dig it.
"Anyway…I'm having a party this weekend!" Dana clapped her hands together and grinned, catching everyone's attention.
"Obviously, you guys have to be there! I don't care what you to do but get a date." She commanded.
"Meet at my mansion at 8:00, sharp. If you don't get in there by 8:00, you won't be able to attend it." She finished, eyeing them all sharply. Her gaze lingered on Rickey a bit longer and she snapped her attention to Katherine.
"Kit, you're going with Chris." She stated, watching Katherine nod. Sakura's shocked eyes stared at those two.
'Why is Katherine taking commands?! She should go out with who she wants to! And it's sure as hell obvious Katherine doesn't want to go with that stupid ass, Chris!' Sakura stepped forward to open her mouth. She stopped abruptly as she felt a tug on she shirt. She glanced back and smiled dryly.
'Akira…I should have guessed.' Akira coughed, exaggerating it more than he should of. Sakura smirked.
"Need cough drop?" She teased, staring into his eyes.
"No, but it seems like you need a chill pill." Akira shot back, being serious. Sakura felt somewhat…repelled. Akira was always joking around when she was. She tilted her head in confusion.
"Why are you getting worked up on this? You rarely bad mouth something Kinomoto Sakura." Sakura gasped as Akira spoke her legal name aloud. She frowned in confusion.
"What-what are you talking about?!" She shot back, rage kicking into her system. Akira smiled coyly.
"Are you mad that Tomoyo is sitting on your lover boy?" He inquired, a mocking silence followed him. Sakura's face contorted in objection. But she still casted a look over the couple.
"Syaoran is not my lover boy! We're not even friends!" She hissed, trying with all her might to keep her voice low. "What is up your ass?!" Sakura twitched, Akira seriously irritated her. Akira smirked…repulsion and delight was mixed on him.
"Just joking Sakkie." He ruffled her auburn hair, aware of vivid viridian eyes following his every move.
"I just wanted you to admit you like Syaoran Li." He stated. "But it seems you're too stubborn to realize you crush on him," he teased. Sakura rolled her eyes.
"You are a very intelligent boy, Akira Huang! Although carrying knowledge, you don't carry the truth." She shot at him, a sharp glared placed on Akira. "You know me well. And you know I'm grumpy because-just look at Dana! She's bossing Katherine around-telling her who to date! Are you not a bit outraged?" She questioned, feeling the blood boiling within her. Akira ignored her question and walked back to the gang, Sakura following suit. She could make out a mumbling of,
"Then why did you curse Tomoyo…"
"Oh, Tomoyo you are going with…Syaoran." Dana announced, making Tess and Lexy frown. Dana turned to the two who came back from their little talk. She bit her lips.
"Oh no…I screwed up!" She squealed disgustedly. "There's only you two left and you both are…sister and brother!" Sakura opened her mouth instantly.
"We're not brother and sister we're-"
"We're-lovers!" Akira quickly intercepted, causing a gasp from all the girls. Syaoran quickly glanced up from boredom. Sharp amber eyes landed on the two.
"I suppose that's settled then, isn't it Dana? We all have dates but me-"
"Syaoran, you know damn well you're going with Tomoyo!" Dana snapped, glaring at Syaoran. He returned the glare.
"Seems like you suddenly replace my father," he spat out, "I'm not going with Tomoyo Daidouji. There's nothing you can do to make me go with her." Dana frowned, her lavender eyes flashed in anger.
"You will do what I say-or…or you're eliminated from our group!" Veronica chipped in, sneering at Syaoran.
"I never even wanted to join this group! You all treat people outside this group like shit!" He yelled out, shooting up from his seat. Tess scoffed.
"If you never wanted to join this group, why have you been in it so long?" She inquired, feigning curiosity. Syaoran smiled…a genuine smile.
"Sakura wanted me to." He stated calmly. Shocked emerald eyes stared. Other eyes of various colors snapped to Syaoran.
"Goodbye Sakura…you're a great friend. Don't ever let jerks bully you for your outer appearance." She looked at into his eyes for the final time.
"Yes…thank you. You're also a great friend…my friend. Steer clear of the in-crowd, boy. Be more social you hermit…that is my final wish." As she finished her last sentence, tears came out, oh joy…
"That fat crazy bitch?" Tomoyo hissed. Syaoran glared at her most dartingly.
"You didn't even know her so back off Tomoyo!" He exclaimed, almost twitching in annoyance. Now it was time the men stepped in. Jamie stepped in first.
"You joined because a wrench wanted you to? That is pathetic Syaoran." Jamie stated. Timmy was now circling Syaoran, observantly.
"You know…I always knew you had a thing for the fat ass. It's kind of sad, after all these years, you still think of her." He remarked, laughing shortly after.
"Actually…" Rickey stepped in, "she was one of a kind…the most fat, ugliest, most disgusting, thing ever. I understand how you would like her-"
"I may not have met this girl, but by this entire riot she's causing, she must have been some hell of a bitch!" Chris commented airily. Syaoran leered at them all, anger unsuppressed. In a huff, he began stomping away, cursing them all.
Heavy silence fell over the group. Tomoyo looked like she was near tears; Dana looked frustrated, trying to comfort Tomoyo. Veronica was beyond rage but plastered a pink glossy smile. Tess was chatting eminently happy with Lexy. Katherine through the whole time was eyeing Tess with distaste. Timmy started rough housing with Ricky at some point. Jamie was starring at Dana, serious in thought. Chris was trying not to make it obvious that he was staring at Sakura.
Through it all, Sakura and Akira watched in silence. She turned to Akira.
"I'm..." she started but paused, as if unsure what she was going to say. Akira smiled and pushed her forward.
"Go after him." Emerald eyes stared him down critically.
"Are you mad? I haven't talked to the guy for what…3 years?! I came back with a changed name, he acts like a jerk, and you, my dear cousin expect me to talk to him?" She asked, sardonic. Akira nodded.
"In the States, you wouldn't stop talking about him!" He accused, "Oh, Syaoran is so great! My first friend…he's so cute! Oh, I love him!" He added in an unnatural high vocal. Sakura laughed sarcastically.
"I did not say those things!" She retorted.
"Did so! Maybe not exactly those words but I know what you think dear cousin, we have a special connection." Akira said, pointing to her, then to him. Sakura threw her hands up in exhaustion. Through the whole conversation, they kept their voices at high furious whispers. Akira shoved Sakura forward again.
"Listen, just go ok?" Akira smiled as Sakura began walking. Suddenly she turned back, glaring at him.
"Yes?" He inquired, amused really.
"Eat my dust." She gave him thumbs up and took off.
"That's my girl…" Akira smirked.
"Where is he…" Her eyes darted around the courtyard.
"Too much dang trees and flowers…" she grumbled.
"But trees and flowers supply us with oxygen." A voice behind her stated. Sakura whirled around and saw no one. She blinked in surprise.
"Ghost?" She inquired, a bit confused.
"No, look up Sherlock." It said mockingly, it called her a dude! Emerald eyes shot up in rage.
"You so did not call me a dude, dude!" Sakura remarked, sticking her tongue at Syaoran. He sat and perched on a cherry blossom tree.
"What do you want?" He asked, wanting to get straight to the point. Sakura was going to retort to his rudeness but stopped. Flashes of them together in 7th grade returned. Sweet memories returned to haunt her. Cloudy emerald eyes stared up at him.
"You've changed…" escaped her lips.
"Excuse me?" He inquired quirking an eyebrow up in perplexity. Sakura shook her head, signaling nothing.
"I came to see how you were doing…you seemed upset when you guys argued about…that girl." Sakura managed to speak, trying her hardest not to let her voice crack. She was being too emotional, just because he joined the in-crowd for her…-wait. She never even wanted him to join! Syaoran glanced down at her. His amber eyes scanned her.
"Came to see how I was doing? Girls like you aren't that simple. You came here for a reason. Like oh, maybe to flirt?" He stated dull amber eyes bored through enraged emerald ones. Sakura leered at him cynically.
"Girls like me?! What does that mean?" She asked, sneering.
"Girls that crave for popularity, girls who argue on clothes, like pink-"
"Syaoran Li, you are a total stereotypical jackass!" Sakura shouted up, beginning to stalk away.
"Wait-I'm sorry!" Syaoran sighed, Cerise was already gone, and he was eating her dust.
Blue Icy: AIyah, sorry for late update. (Again) I'm almost sure I drove someone nuts, probably me. I rewrote this chapter 4 times, unsatisfied. Right now, it looks fairly good to me accept the shortness. Sorry that for. Also, sorry for the grammar and spelling mess ups. I'm not really good in grammar department but I'm sure I probably made only 2 or 3 spelling mistakes. Please excuse those, as long as you can read it, it's right right?
Carmela-chan: Well I supose it seems that Tomoyo is dating Syaoran in the 4th chapter. But if you look closely, dear Syaoran is repulsed by her. (Smiles) I hope this chapter made it clear to you whether those two are dating or not.
Cherrysinger: Aww, it feels so nice to know I have at least one faithful reviewer! (Pats Sarah on head) You're name is Sarah right? Lol.After reading this chapter, you understood why Syaoran was "part" or the in-crowd! And yeah, your school sounds really cool. At my school, half the in crowd are super cool and the other half just scare me. The interesting part is that both halves get along.
Fanficpixie: Hmm, you have one of the longest reviews, hun. Don't we all love action, lol. Sorry to burst your cute little bubble but...err...yeah, Sakura didn't tell Syaoran her real name. This is typical isn't it? I'll be sure to at least update to the part where Sakura reveals her true idenity! (Just for you) Yeah, catch you later!
Sun: I've considered your suggestion, I do find it interesting. (Smiles) But I'm not sure about making Syaoran jealous...just yet. Since he believes he just met Cerise Huang.
LiLAznDevil: You bet she will!
Eagle 07: Lol, I'd like to rush into the part where Syaoran's story starts but just wait, please. I'm working extra hard on that part, I want it perfect! Let's just say that's there's a funky twist revealed later.
angel-star-sakura: I wasn't going to put Tomoyo in the fanfiction first, but then someone asked me to put Tomoyo in. And before that, Dana De Birdie made me consider puting Tomoyo in.
Blue Icy: Erm erm erm, I had a crazy idea and decided to make a forum dedicated to fanifction and anime. (Nervous) If anyone would like to join, the link is in my bio. Again, thanks to all the lovely reviewers and silent readers!
Signing Off,
Blue Icy
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all enjoy your meals
