Aw! Thank you so much for all the reviews!!! I think is the most reviews I've ever gotten! I feel so lucky!!! Thank you! By the way, I realized my borders don't load... So I'm going to do this kind of border, that hopefully will work:
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
By the way, the theme song I am using for this story is called: "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order. I don't own it, but I'm using it in here as the theme song. Never heard of it? Go to , press music, and type in "Bizarre Love Triangle", you should be able to see the music video. Btw, this chapter is going to have a little somethin' somethin' about "Spanking the Monkey" coughcough It will still be PG-13, but if you don't like that stuff, don't flame me about it. I warned you. It's not bad though! Don't worry. It's just... Kinda... Talking about it. You'll see.
Chapter 4: Day 3 Part 1
Syaoran's P.O.V:
I groaned as I heard Sakura's alarm go off and her hand slamming against its plastic SNOOZE button. I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes. Last night I had gotten barely any sleep. Why? I sigh as I turn my head towards the girl lying next to me. I'm not so sure myself. Why is this happening all of a sudden? Ever since Eriol said those things, I've been getting feelings for my best friend, but is it just developing, or have they always been there? I groaned again and got out of bed. I showered, brushed my teeth, put on my clothes for today, and walked to the kitchen. I poured some cereal, then walked into the dining room, sat down, and turned on the television in the dining room, turning it to VH1. Right then a music video started, as if by fate, and its music began to play.
"Every time I think of you,
I get a shot right through with a bolt of blue.
It's no problem of mine,
But it's the problem I find,
Living a life I can't leave behind.
There's no sense in telling me 'The wisdom of a fool won't set you free',
But that's the way that it goes,
And it's what nobody knows,
Well everyday my confusion grows."
I blinked at that first lyric to the song. That was a little too close to what's going on... Because I don't want how everything was to change... For our group to be broken apart because I date Aya... And then for the past few days nobody knows how confused I've been, which caused my lack of sleep.
"Every time I see you falling,
I get down on my knees and pray.
I'm waiting for that final moment you'll say the words that I can't say."
I blinked. That had nothing to do what was going on. Maybe this song isn't too close to how I was feeling.
"I feel fine and I feel good,
I'm feeling like I never should.
Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say,
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?
I'm not sure what this could mean,
I don't think you're what you seem.
I do admit to myself that if I don't hurt someone else,
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be."
Half of that reminds me of Sakura. Everything's basically changed since I came here to stay. My feelings for her have changed, or are just now revealing itself, we've kissed, everything's just... Changed. I don't know what to say around her anymore when bad thoughts get into my head, I'll end up saying something stupid, and sometimes I just wish that nothing had changed, that Eriol hadn't gotten me thinking. Then that second half reminds me a lot of Aya. Because in all truth, I don't know her at all, I only think about how she is, and what if she isn't what I think she is? But I don't know about the whole "If I don't hurt someone else, then I'll never see just what we're meant to be" has anything to do with it. Eh, the whole song doesn't have to relate to you. The verse came back on and the song ended. I sighed and sat there in confusion.
Sakura's P.O.V:
"Every time I see you falling,
I get down on my knees and pray.
I'm waiting for that final moment you'll say the words that I can't say."
That last line was too close for comfort. I was just innocently brushing my teeth when I heard Syaoran turn on the T.V. and begin to watch a music video. I listened to the song, it was really good, and I figured it was about a guy who was in love with two girls, seeming as if he doesn't hurt someone else he'll never see what will happen with the other girl. It was really good. I liked it. But that last line felt as if it was deliberately put in there to bring me down, because that line made me think of Syaoran.
For the past few years I've been waiting for him to feel the same and tell me, because I sure as hell won't! I'm scared it'll freak him out! I spit out my toothpaste, rinsed, and then entered the dining area, unaware to Syaoran, who seemed to be out of it. I snuck up behind him and kissed his cheek, jerking him out of La-la land.
"Morning!" I smiled at him before I went into the kitchen and popped a Pop-Tart into the toaster.
"Um, morning?" He blinked at me like I was from some other universe. What was wrong with me?
"What?"
"Um... Nothing..."
Syaoran's P.O.V:
"Um... Nothing..." I looked back down at my cereal. I couldn't help but stare. Nowadays I seem to be doing a lot of staring at her... Why does she seem so hot to me now?
I heard her sigh. "Whatever you say... But if you have the hots for me just get it over with and say it."
I nearly fell off my chair when I heard her say that. How did Sakura notice that?! She can barely notice when a guy likes her, yet she notices me? That's when I realized she had sarcasm all into her voice. "Me? Have the hots for you? Keep dreaming Kinomoto."
"Oh, but I don't have to dream Li." She smiled at me teasingly as she sat down next to me and ate her Pop-Tart. I saw her reach for the remote.
"What're you doing?"
"I'm changing it to Nickelodeon, I want to watch my toons."
"But why?"
"Are you questioning me?" I gave her the look, and, instead of backing up in fear like most do, she smiled widely at me and pushed the buttons to the stations.
"You know, I hate it that you're immune to anything I do, and know what I'm thinking and feeling." All except one thing I'm feeling right now, and I'm sure you don't even want to know what I'm thinking about right now... Wait, when have I been such a horn dog?
"All the privileges of being a best friend." Yeah, Best friend who I'm having very bad thoughts about in my head. "Uh oh, we better go if we don't want to be late for school!"
"Yeah, let's go."
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
It's time for lunch now. Lunch is good, it's Sakura's favorite period. Ah! God, why can't I stop thinking about her? Sakura this, Sakura that, Sakura, Sakura, SAKURA! God, I'm even starting to annoy myself. What's wrong with me?
"...With every day my confusion grows..."That damned song again. Has everything turned against me? It seems like my own conscience has turned against me!
"Syaoran?" Ah, the angel speaks... Damnit!
"Hm? What?"
"Were you listening to anything I was saying?"
"Um... No, sorry. I was a bit... Distracted..." Distracted by you.
She sighs. "Never mind..."
"No, I'm sorry, really, I want to hear it, I just, have a lot on my mind..." I felt the guilt surging through my veins.
"About what?" She asked.
"Um, just forget about it, nothing to be worried about."
"But that's what best friends are for! They listen to problems! Come on! Tell me!" She smiled. If she only knew she was the problem...
So... Where do I begin? "Well, you know I've liked Aya for a while, right?" She nodded in disgust. I don't understand why she doesn't like her... Must be a girl thing. "Well, now there's this other girl I like, and I can't pick between the two."
She grabbed my arm. "Who is it?"
I gulped. Here is goes. "She's-"
"Over here!" I heard Tomoyo exclaim about ten feet away from us. For once I'm happy of her psychotic arrival. "Sakura-chan! I've been looking all over for you!"
"Well Tomoyo-chan, I'm in the same place we always eat in, you should have looked here first before anywhere else..." Tomoyo sweat dropped.
"I guess you're right..."
"Tomoyo!" Eriol came running up, panting and sweating.
"Hey Eriol." Sakura greeted.
"Hey Eriol..." I looked at his face. I mean, he always looks funny, but today he looked even funnier.
"Hey Sakura, merry younger cousin."
"BY TWO MONTHS!!!" I exploded.
"Calm down Syaoran." Sakura smiled reassuringly.
"Sorry... I have a lot going on right now..."
Eriol smiled evilly, Tomoyo whipped out her video camera. Damn psychos. "Oh really, what?"
"Oh, Syaoran's falling for another girl, but he hasn't told me who it is... Is it Akiko? I bet it's Akiko! Or Momo? Could be her..." Sakura began to ramble on and on about who the mystery girl could be. This may take her a LONG time. She's the last person she'd think was the mystery girl, which I think is a good thing. Ha ha, she can just keep on guessing...
"It's me isn't it? I knew it!" What the hell? No, she's naïve and gullible, she'd never think it was her! "Ha ha ha, you should have seen the look on your face! Got you good Syao-kun!"
I realized we hadn't gone on through our normal routine today, am I really that distracted? "Well Saku-chan, you know you're the only girl for me."
"I better be, but because of all of this 'falling for another girl' stuff, you're sleeping on the couch."
"But Saku-chan..." I whined. I knew it wasn't true, but it's all part of the act.
"Aw! Poor Syaoran's gonna be on the couch tonight! Well, you can always 'Dance in your kitchen' to feel better." I shot Eriol a glare.
"Hoe? Syaoran can't dance in his kitchen! He's locked out, that's why he's staying with me! If he needs to dance in a kitchen he's going to have to dance in mine!" Sakura said, obviously not getting the true meaning of what 'Dancing in your Kitchen' is... Although, I don't mind her statement... Gah! Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! Eriol and Tomoyo burst out at Sakura's remark. "Hoe? What?"
"You're so kawaii!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Hoe!!!" Sakura ran behind me. "Syaoran! Save me!"
"What's up?" Well, now all of my troubles are just being jolted into my life, aren't they?
"Hello Aya..." I said to her.
She smiled at me. "Hello Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol."
"Hey Aya." All of them replied in unison.
Aya looked at me and saw Sakura's arms wrapped around my waist and her head against my shoulder. Did I just see jealousy flash in her eyes? "So, are you two like, a couple?"
Before I could speak, Eriol and Tomoyo jumped in. "Yeah, they just got together last night. Sakura wasn't feeling well, so Syaoran took care of her and they just... Got together. Isn't that romantic?"
"Sure is, you're a sweet guy Syaoran." Aya said and smiled at me. I could only smile. I was speechless!
"Bu-" Before Sakura could finish her speech of the truth, Aya spoke again.
"So, are you guys going to that party on Friday?"
"Of course we are!" I answered. Wow! I can speak!
"Great." Aya smiled.
"Yeah, but tomorrow night we're all going on a date, a total of twelve people." Tomoyo said.
"Oh really, where to?" Yeah, where to? I'd like to know when to drive my "girlfriend" Sakura to wherever the hell our spur of the moment date is.
"We're going to see that new scary movie 'THE GRUDGE', we figured we should be fair to the boys and let them take us to a movie they want to see." I heard Sakura moan "Hoe" into my back. I sweat dropped.
"Great, I'm going to that movie too. I'll see you there." Aya smiled at me one last time and walked away. Wow! My day was just getting better and better! Sakura and I are supposedly together, Aya's jealous and going to the movie to keep an eye out, and Sakura is pressed very tightly to my back. WHAT A DAY!!!
Author's notes: Well, this is 6 pages, so I decided to make day three be a two-parter, because there's much more to establish on this day, along with day 5, which will also be a two-parter (Duh! Party!). And also, I'm tired and spent too much time daydreaming that it's now one... See you next week!
