LOOK SMART
chapter three
I walked into his house expecting anything. It was obvious there
was more to Li than meets the eye. Sure he can be a jerk, and changes his
women as much as he changes his clothes, but underneath it all he's
probably a stand up kind of guy, probably.
"Welcome to my home!" He said as he opened the door. For some
reason I expected it to be empty. He seemed like the type of person who
never stays home. But it was like a regular living room. A bit more welcoming
and warm than my own.
"Oh, it's really nice, your living room..."
"Heh, thanks!" He scratched the back of his head amd smiled. He
really did seem different then from his reputation. It was almost refreshing to
meet someone like that. "Hey, you better watch out! I'm about to close the
door!" He gave me a big grin but I chose to give a deadly stare... I began to
really look around the room...
"What's with all the pink?!"
"Oh, that's not me! Heh, my cousin decorated this room. I'm hardly
home." I sat down on his couch as he began to go through all the drawers of
his kitchen.
"You live with your cousin?"
"Yeah, but I don't think you would know her. She goes to some
snobby rich girl school, dammit! Where the hell is it?!"
"So you and your parents and her must really get along?" All of a
sudden I began to wonder more about Li. As soon as I entered the door a
million questions entered my mind. I never realized just how interesting he
really was. He seemed so carefree and outgoing in school you never think
much about him, except maybe how cute he looked!
"Nah, my parents don't live with me. They're back in Hong Kong."
He came out of the kitchen just wearing his tanktop. I could feel my face
grow hot again. He was thin but lean at the same time. He leaned against
the wall and stared at me. "Hmm, you sure are interested in me all of a
sudden! Could it be you're falling in love with me?" My eyes grew wide, half
in emberassment half in anger.
"Ha! Yeah right! Like I'd fall for a punk like you!" I turned away
trying to hide my face.
"Sorry, I guess I'm use to girls always throwing themselves at me.
It's nice sometimes, to have a challenge." I looked at him and he smiled at
me what seemed like the same smile he would give to all those other girls
who fell victim to him. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
"So where's that first aid kit?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure I have one! Oops!"
"How is it that you're my tutor and yet you act so ridiculous?" I
could my left eye begin to twitch...
"Heh heh, I guess you were right! You were just born unlucky!" I
wanted to kill him. "Oh, c'mon I'm juss kidding with you!" He walked over to
the couch and sat next to me. I moved over then he moved over also. I
stared into his eyes, just what is he thinking right now?
"Do you mind? You're invading my personal space!"
"I don't mind invading your personal space..." He gave me a devilish
grin as his face began to move closer to mine. I sat there in shock. I really
thought there was more to him. But I was wrong, he's like every other guy!
Always thinking about sex or either how to get a girl out of her clothes. He
was really starting to tick me off. But I simply couldn't move. Did I want him
to kiss me, or do I want to kiss him? Suddenly...
"I'm home!" His face was centimeters away from mine when I
stopped him. 'That isn't a girl's voice' I thought to myself. I thought he only
lived with his girl cousin so what was a guy doing going into his home. But
what really scared me more was that this voice, I recognized it. It was
Eriol's. By the time I realized this I couldn't bare to move my head. Li moved
away and sat casually against the couch. He had a disappointed look on his
face.
"You have the worst timing! Oh yeah, so where's the first aid kit
around here?"
"We don't have a first aid kit." He said in a calm voice. I heard him
close the front door and begin to walk away. Yes, maybe I have a chance
without him realizing who I am. Afterall, I'm still not capable of moving.
"Sorry," Li began,"about making you come here Sakura."
My eyes shot wide open. Li, you freaking idot! Now he's going to
tell me to get out of his house. Eriol, why do you have to hate me so much?
His footsteps came to a halt and began to walk towards us. I turned my
face a little as I saw Eriol from the corner of my eye. He looks so gorgeous
up close. Better than that moron Li.
"Sakura?" Eriol asked. "Kinomoto?" I turned my face to look at him
fully. He had the softest eyes I had ever seen. So calm and gentle.
"Y-Yes?" I managed to stutter out. I couldn't stop myself from
blushing. My feelings for him are so intense. Just thinking about him when I'm
alone is enough for me to blush. I didn't know what it was about him that I
liked so much. Li began to disappear from beside me and the only person I
could see was Eriol.
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" He said giving me a smile. 'WHAT?' I
asked myself. Why is he being so nice to me? I thought he hated me, always
giving me dirty looks. He even ignored me the very first time I tried to talk to
him. I didn't know what I had done wrong but I knew he hated me. I stared
at his hand that was extended out to me. Does he want me to shake it?
What should I do? I want to touch him so badly but I would feel like I was
betraying Tomoyo if I did.
"Hello! Earth to Sakura!" Li chimed in. "Are you going to gawk at his
hand all afternoon or are you going to shake it?" Li grabbed my hand and
placed it in Eriol's. 'What is that I'm feeling right now? Could it be love?' "Now
was that so hard?"
"I have to apologize," Eriol began, "for the inconvenience."
"What are you talking about?" I was so confused.
"Yesterday, I was suppose to tutor you, but something came up."
"Oh no it's fine!" So he WAS suppose to tutor me. But being that
I'm unlucky I shouldn't have been surprised when I ended up with Li.
"Yeah right!" Li said. "You know Eriol, she has this huge crush on
you!"
"Li!!" I smacked him in the head. "What the hell is wrong with you?
Have you gone insane?" How could he tell Eriol something like that?
Somehow, some way my hands found its way to his neck and I began to
choke him. How could he? In front of Eriol... he probably thinks I'm some
stupid Junior who has this dorky crush on some upper classmen.
"I... can't.... breathe!!" I finally let go of Li's neck. Oh no, what
have I done? Eriol must be scared of me. Not only am I dorky Junior, I'm a
psycho dorky Junior. This day just keeps getting worse and worse by the
moment. Li began to cough and gasping for air.
"I-I'm sorry! I don't know what's gotten into me!"
"Oh no, don't worry about him. He has that kind of affect on
people." Eriol began to grin. And I began to blush. And Li, well I guess he
was still alive. But I wasn't really concerned about that. Suddenly the front
door opened again. A beautiful girl with jet black hair walked in.
"I'm home!" She suddenly saw Li gagging and ran over to him. "LI?!
Are you okay? Who did this to him?" I was so afraid she would get angry at
me that I just stayed still and didn't answer her. But she still figured it out
on her own. She took one look at me and it dawned on her. She looked
straight into my eyes. "Did you do this to him?" I nodded. But what she did
next was so unexpected.
