Day 5: Part I"Heaven must be missing an angel. Missing one angel child cause you're here with me right now…"
I smiled as I heard her slam her palm against the snooze button and fall back asleep. I kissed her neck before removing my head from the little pocket between her shoulder and neck. I rolled out of bed and went to the restroom to brush my teeth and get ready. After I was finished, I went into the dining room to get a bowl of cereal. After I poured the milk into the bowl full of cereal flakes, dipped a spoon inside, and walked into the dining room. I sat at the table and began to eat the tasty flakes dampened by the sweet milk. I heard a creak escape from the floor and looked up. Standing before me was the angel I had known all my life and fell in love with. Her hair was tousled, eyes droopy, mascara spread underneath her eyes, and her dress was wrinkled and twisted in different areas. I smiled at her as she responded with a tired sleepy look.
"Coffee?" She nodded as she sat next to my chair. I walked to the kitchen and poured her a mug.
"I don't want to go to school…"
"You never want to go to school." I smiled teasingly at her as I handed her the mug. I saw her take a sip and nearly gag. "Well, at least there's the joy of the party tonight."
Her eyes widened at me as she stood up. "Why didn't you say so?!"
I grinned as I saw her dash into the bathroom and begin to get ready. I love Fridays.

Sakura's P.O.V:
I felt a rush of dejavue, because as soon as the bell rang for the final time today, Tomoyo and Meiling grabbed my wrists and dragged me away from my classroom. On our rush run to the limo, Naoko, Chiharu, and Rika tagging along behind, I saw Syaoran and the guys. They all sweat dropped and fell as they saw Tomoyo chattering along happily about my party dress she made for all of us, and how kawaii she was going to make me look tonight (and adding in that she needs to make up for how I looked yesterday, when I think I looked okay…). I felt nauseous from all of the excitement and attention I was getting just because Syaoran and I are pretending to date… Maybe I should get some new friends?
?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Tomoyo did her finishing touches and then pulled away from me to let me look. I looked at the mirror to see my image reflected back at me. I'd have to say it was way different from last night, but still really cool and perfect for the party. She did my eyeliner and mascara in brown, and glittery, mint green colored eye shadow on my top lids and below my eye, which is the latest style in all the magazines. She applied a clear lip-gloss on my lips, and pulled my hair up into a side ponytail to right of my head, and my bangs swiped to the same side as the ponytail. She had make a shiny, light green top that appeared to be spaghetti strapped, but the back of it was open and v-shaped with the straps criss-crossing. The shirt was tight-fitted and went all the way down to my hips, and barely covered the black mini-skirt she had me wear. To finish my outfit, she had me wear clear, green platform shoes, saying I was the Cinderella of the night, because I had to steal Syaoran's heart.
Tomoyo, on the other hand, went all out on her make up, but it was still classy. She did black eyeliner and mascara on her eyes, with a shimmering purple colored eye shadow on her upper and lower eyelids. For her lips, she used amethyst colored lip liner that she blended into her lips, shading her lips amethyst, with lip-gloss over it. She had made an amethyst colored mini dress for her to wear. It was a halter that made a V down the back, stopping at the base of her spine. The dress continued to mid-thigh, and flared out a little, with Amethyst strappies at her feet. She left her hair down, but took half of it and pulled it up, making a French braid in the back.
For Meiling, she did her usual hairstyle with the red ribbons, with ruby colored eye shadow on her upper and lower lids, and a little higher towards her eyebrows. Tomoyo also added ruby crystals to form a heart on her right cheek, with red glitter all over her face, and ruby colored lipstick on. Meiling's shirt was a glittery red tube top with a black plastic jacket and a matching mini skirt with 3-inch black heels.
"Hey Meiling, did you steel that outfit from Aya?" Chiharu joked as she looked at the outfit.
"Shut up, I wouldn't borrow from that slut, anyways, we need to keep her away from my cousin so that our kawaii Sakura can finally have her wish."
My face must have turned the same color as her ruby eye shadow.
"Funny, I don't remember applying your eye shadow to Sakura's face Meiling…" Tomoyo joked.
"Meiling-chan! Tomoyo-chan!" They both looked at each other and grinned in approval.
"I would have to say, you and Syaoran do look good together…" Rika remarked. She was wearing a baby blue tube with a sheer, baby blue over shirt over it, cut into a V and a cut all the way down, with a fake topaz at the base of the V, keeping together the whole top. She was wearing a black mini skirt with Topazes lining the bottom of the skirt. She had periwinkle eye shadow across her upper eyelids, with glitter applied on top also, with her eyes lined in cyber blue eyeliner and navy mascara. She wore blue tinted lip-gloss, making her look like she was cold, but look very pretty despite it. A clip that was blue and glittery pulled her short hair back.
"You two are like… Romeo and Juliet!" Naoko exclaimed happily. She was wearing a long, orange dress that had thick straps and ended at her ankles that showed her orange sandals. From the bottom up there was a design made of tangerine stones that decreased as they went up. She looked like she was going to a dance instead of a party, but she still looked nice. Her hair was left down in it's normal style, and she didn't wear any make up, not seeing any point since her glasses would basically hide Tomoyo's work.
"Or better yet, Jack and Rose!" Everyone at that moment got stars in their eyes. I sweat dropped, scared out of my wits. Chiharu walked up to me and hugged me tight. She was wearing a pair of black pants with matching heels, and a bright yellow spaghetti strapped shirt that was covered in citrines. She had one yellow colored crystal on each side of her eyes, with a golden colored eye shadow swiped across her eyelid, with gold colored eyeliner lining her eyes and black mascara. She had gold lip liner done like Tomoyo's, with an orange tinted lip-gloss over her lips. "I'm so happy for you!!"
"T-thanks…" We sat there in silence for a few moments until we heard the bell ring, and we jumped. "They're here!"
?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Syaoran's POV:
We all sighed in embarrassment as we heard the girls squeal in excitement and run down the stairs. Tomoyo answered the door first and smiled. "Hiya! What're you guys doing here?"
I rolled my eyes. "Come on Tomoyo, you know why we're here…"
"Well, I know you're here to see Sakura, am I right?" I felt myself begin to blush. She grinned happily as she looked behind her, the other five waiting to escape the mansion. "You guys read to go?"
"Yeah!" The five squealed. All of us outside cringed. This was reliving my childhood all over again…
"Well, let's go!" Eriol grabbed Tomoyo's hand as all the couples, Sakura, and I, went into separate cars. I opened my car door for Sakura and she smiled as she sat in the passenger seat, buckling up. I ran around the car and got into the driver's seat, starting the engine and driving out to the crazy party at a guy names Yukito's house.
"You look nice tonight." I finally got out, looking at her. I think Tomoyo dressed her up in green to intimidate me… (Author's notes: No! The fan fiction writer did! Bua ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! )
"Thank you, you do too…" That was total bull. I was just wearing a green button-up tee shirt and khaki jeans. No biggie.
"You know what I just realized?" She looked at me waiting for my answer. "We're matching…"
Sakura looked down at her clothes and laughed. "So we are… Pretty funny, ne?" I smiled at her as I moved my stick shift into another gear and rest it on the gear. I saw her hesitate as her hand reached out for mine, but pull back, so I reached out and grabbed it. She smiled at that moment as a blush crept on.
"You're so cute when you blush…"
"I'm not blushing!" Her voice got squeaky, her trademark for lying.
"Ha ha! Squeaky voice! You're lying!"
"I am not!"
"Whatever you say…"
"You big meany…" She pouted as she pulled her hand away and pretended to pout. I laughed at her childish reaction as I parked out front and walked around to open the door for her. The door opened, and I helped her out, continuing to hold her hand as we walked up to the house, but before we walked onto the porch, I stopped her. For some strange reason I had a bad feeling about going inside.
"Saku…" She stopped and looked at me worried.
"Is something wrong?"
"Are you sure you want to do this? Go in there pretending to be a couple? Do you even want to go at all?" She looked at me in confusion.
She reached out and cupped my left cheek with her palm. "Syaoran… Are you okay?"
I sighed. I couldn't tell her about my bad feeling, because then she'd begin to freak out. "Never mind, let's go inside." She smiled at me reassuringly and I found myself begin to lean in to kiss her, that is, until Takashi walked out.
"Hey man! Come on in! Let's party!"
I sighed as I pulled away and Sakura smiled, but it seemed like it was in disappointment. "Come on…" I pulled on the hand I wasn't aware I had held onto the whole time as we walked up to the front door. "How did you guys get here before we did? We only left a few seconds after you…"
Takashi just shrugged as he led us in. "I don't know man, you tell me."
I looked at Sakura and smiled. "You want a drink?"
"Sure." I let go of her hand as I walked to the table holding all the snacks and drinks. I grabbed myself a cup of beer, and I looked around for what Sakura might want. The only thing remotely close was some fruit punch that smelled like it had too much vodka.
I sighed. "Oh well, I guess this'll have to do…"
?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Sakura's POV:
I stood near the entrance waiting for Syaoran to come back. Was that just me, or was he about to just kiss me a few moments ago? I sighed dreamily with the thought of Syaoran. If only he loved and needed me like I do, I'd be the happiest girl alive. Through all my thinking, I didn't notice the person that had walked up to me. Aya Akechi.
"Hiya Sakura!" She exclaimed as she walked up.
"Hiya Aya." I replied with almost as much excitement as her welcome.
"So, how are you and Syaoran doing?" She asked me.
"Really great. He's a great guy." I guess if I can't be with him, might as well let him be with someone he does want to be with, right?
"Yeah, he really does seem like a great guy. You're lucky to have him. I wish I had seen how he was before you two got together."
I smiled. I contemplated on whether or not to tell her the truth, but I decided to let Syaoran tell her. "I'm sorry…"
"Oh, don't be sorry! He's not the only fish! Right?" Is she actually being nice? She was usually a bitch to me…
"Right."
"Well, see you later."
"See ya." I smiled at her as she left.
"Sakura!" came a girly male voice behind me.
I turned to see a tall guy with gray hair; brown eyes that were barely noticeable because of his glasses wearing a silver button up shirt with white pants and matching silver shoes.
"Yukito-san!" I ran and hugged him.
"How's my favorite girl?"
"Good." I smiled. "How's your man?"
"Oh! The poor thing drank too much and is permanently attached to the toilet!" We both began to laugh at his remark. "So, any new flavors lately Saku?"
I sighed and looked over in the direction where Syaoran was, looking for a drink. "Yeah, I think…"
"You think? Honey, either you know or you know."
I let out a long sigh. "I don't know, it's just… Really confusing right now…" I looked back at Yukito. "So, how are you and Touya's relationship doing?"
?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Syaoran's POV:
I looked across the room after I got Sakura's drink to see Sakura talking to Yukito happily. Her and Yukito have been really close since we were little, and they have a brother-sister relationship, and the same case with her and Yukito's boyfriend, Touya. I smiled as I saw them begin to laugh from something Yukito said. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Hello Syaoran." I heard Aya say from my side.
"Hello Aya, how are you?"
"Not so good…" She said sadly.
I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Well, you see…" She continued to walk up to me and press a finger against my chest. "There's this guy that I like… but he already has a girlfriend…"
"And who would this guy be?"
"Oh Syaoran… Don't be so naïve, you should know who it is…"
I stared at her in surprise. "M-Me?"
"Bingo." She whispered. "I really, really want to be with you, but you're with Sakura now, so I can't."
I sighed in desperation. I looked at Sakura, then Aya. Aya showed signs of wanting to be with me, while Sakura didn't… I don't even know if Sakura feels the same way, so why should I wait around for someone who doesn't love me back? Moment of truth… "That's not true…"
"Huh?"
"Sakura and I aren't together. We're just best friends. This was just a plan to try and make you jealous."
She smiled happily. "Well, it worked…" Then, out of nowhere, she grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me on the lips. I was so lost in that moment; I didn't see the shocked and hurt face of the one girl I love.
