Thanks for the support!
Chapter 6
- Syaoran's POV -
"SYAORAN!" I suddenly heard a male voice calling out to me. I turned around expecting to see a buddy of mine.
"What?" I sound annoyed.
"I was calling you more politely a while ago but you were completely ignoring me. Man, you got a problem. You are totally spaced out these days." Eriol, who is in my room, stated.
"Spaced out? ME?" I asked. Tss, why did I even bother, "What do you wanted, anyway?" I said trying to shrug off the 'spaced out' thingy.
"Yeah! Totally blank! …Right! I just wanted to ask you if I could borrow this." He told me as he shows me a CD that he is recently holding with his right hand.
"Sure.." I plainly approved.
"And this one.." He added, and then showed another CD.
"Sure.." I plainly repeated then I shifted back to my former position. I was in my balcony; lying my elbows on the concrete railings; staring up at the moonlit sky.
"Xiao Lang, this one too!" Eriol cried out behind me. A/N: Xiao Lang, Chinese form of Syaoran
Without looking at what CD he is referring, I just responded again, "Sure.."
"And this one too…"
I kept my gape at the night sky, and then I replied, "Sure.."
"And this.."
"Sure.."
"Oh, and this!"
"MAN! JUST TAKE EM ALL!" I cried; facing him.
"Really? Yeah!" He exclaimed with a bit of sarcasm in his voice. But I didn't really mind. I turned my back on him again; gazed again at the stars that twinkled only for me, I wish. I can never forget yesterday's evening…
- Flashback -
I'm spending another evening with Sakura- the woman I believed that I finally found. I just lay on the blanket, looking at the stars that are one by one started to show up.
"Sakura…" I mentioned her name. She automatically watched me complete what I had to say, "Didn't you believe me?"
The same sad smile once again drew in her face, "It's not like that.. It's just that.. It's too good to be true.."
"Would you believe if I tell you I've finally found you?"
She kept silent. Why doesn't she wanna answer me? Haah… I can't take this awkwardness anymore; I blocked the lake from her view, which she was staring at a while ago. I positioned my self in front of Sakura,
"I'm telling the truth, I promise. I'm not a deceiver." I know I wanted to say much more than that. Much much more. But I can't go on yapping in front of her; it might result a negative thing on her.
She gaped at me using her emerald beautiful eyes. Even at her sad look, her eyes never fail to hypnotize me. She is still certainly beautiful. I felt the awkwardness in our situation. Maybe that's the reason why she just said,
"Syaoran, please…"
I felt my heart wrung. I let out a soft little sigh then positioned my self back to her side.
"I didn't mean to be so ungrateful but-" I cut her statement off by holding her hand,
"Sakura..!"
She suddenly let go of my grip; "I'm sorry!" then ran off to a faraway distance. I attempted to run after her but I felt that she wanted to be alone or wanna think things over.
I, unfortunately, gave her something to think of; a problem.
- End of flashback -
I don't get it. I just don't get it! A lot of girls like me and pleads me to take them on a date, but this.. this certain person, who is lucky enough to be asked to be courted by me, refused! Sigh. I guess I had me ego big enough to think that I'd get any girl I want; even the girl that I waited all my life.
And she told me that I'm someone who wouldn't wanna be around with someone like her. Is that supposed to mean that she looks up at me? If she does, she must've liked me. Like me? Or like me like me? Whatever it is, I sense that she, even a little tiny bit, feels the same way. But why did she refuse?
. . . Probably… Probably, she doesn't see me as a boyfriend material.
Maybe she just sees me as a popular guy chased by girls and not someone to be having a serious relationship with. So…
She doesn't like me?
…Of course she does.
Then why did she refuse?
…Perhaps she was just shy.
Shy? Why?
…Syaorans. . . . . . . . . I don't know.
Sometimes I sit at home and wonder how'd it be
if she had loved me
truly loved me yes,
I learned a while ago that kind of thing it never happens for me
"HEY!" someone tapped me hard on the shoulder. I turned around,
"WHAT!" I cried at Eriol. Haah.. Annoyance. -
"I'll be going now, thanks for the CD's!" he told me.
"..Yeah, sure.. Be on your way. I believe I don't have to see you off, do I?" I asked him. Eriol is SO used to these kind of stuff. He has been in my house for a thousand times, I guess. He's no longer a 'visitor' in my place; he seems to be semi-living in this house already.
"No need, my cranky friend Xiao Lang.. I'll be going now.. But before I go," he stopped, and then he landed his whole arm on my shoulders, then continued, "don't think about it too much. Don't worry, she loves you too!"
I raised my eyebrow. What is he talking about?
Oh c'mon Syaoran, you know what he's talking about.
I do?
Yeah!
But why does he know about her? I didn't tell him anything.
Well?
Eriol is weird.
Leaving me with a confused look, he left my balcony laughing.
"HEY!" I called out to him before he leaves my room.
"Yes?" He classily said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, and then I forced a grin to hide my confused emotions.
"Oh, I dunno!" he answered. I know he's lying! I just know that there's something to what he said.
"Do you want me to beat you up?" I stated trying my best to act like the macho Syaoran like I used to be whenever we're together.
And so I go around and just pretend
love Is not for me
I play the circus clown around my friends
make them laugh and they won't see that
you never let them see you sweat
don't want them to think the pain runs deep
lord knows its killing me
"Hahahahaha!" He just laughed in response then exited my bedroom.
As soon as he shut my bedroom door, I returned to watch the stars. I whispered into the nightly breeze, hoping that it would reach the stars. I was never like this- all ravishing or something, but I just felt like it. I whispered, "Starlight, star bright. First star I see tonight, I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight. I don't wanna ask a very big favor. This may be the lamest wish you'll ever receive.. But I wish that Sakura would think of me; even just for a short while.."
- Sakura's POV -
I just went out of the bathroom. I had just finished my nightly ritual routine. I'm recently in my pajamas then I sat in front of my dresser table; facing the mirror.
Oh Syaoran. I never expected that you'd ever say that. I don't know if you were just fooling around or you felt it real. In this matter, you're the one who seem to be the one rejected and lost. But honestly, I was the one; no, not you; but me.
So I put on my make up
put a smile on my face
And if anyone ask me everything is ok
I'm laughing 'cause no one knows the joke is on me
'cause I'm dyin' inside with my pride and a smile on my face
on my face singing
la la la la
Why? Why Sakura? Why did you tell him that? Why did you even feel that? Does he look like he was deceiving you? Or you were just.. I dunno.. just plain foolish? I cursed all that to the girl who is staring back at me. I know I've liked him; and I still do. But… It was all too good to be true. It's not for a girl like me. Fate must've had the wrong address.
Sometimes I sit at home by the phone
Hoping he might call me
But he don't call me
But then I realize dreams come true
aren't for girls like me, not like me
"Sakura! Dinner!" my dad, Fujitaka, suddenly appeared by my bedroom door.
"Y-yeah! I'll be right there!" I exclaimed.
"Sakura, is something wrong? You don't seem like your usual self." He uttered.
"Huh? What are you talking about dad?" I cheerfully said. Then I threw off a fake happy laugh, then I added, "I'm just hungry, that's all!"
"Is that all? Dinner's ready."
"Yup, I know! I'll be right there!"
"Ok!" he cheerfully exclaimed then politely shut my door.
And so I go around with my head up
like it ain't no thing
And when the boys around with all my friends
I'm into other things 'cause
You never let them see you sweat
Don't want them to think the pain runs deep
lord knows its killing me
So I put on my make up
put a smile on my face
And if anyone ask me everything is ok
I'm laughing 'cause no one knows the joke is on me
'cause I'm dyin' inside with my pride and a smile on my face
on my face singing
On my face, ooh
- Syaoran's POV -
A slight 'thump' could be heard as I threw all my weight to my bed. I guess she doesn't like me. It may seem that she does, like the other girls, it may seem that way, but never really is. Was I deceived? I guess… I guess I was deceived, but not in a negative way. I just thought that she liked me too. I know because I feel it every time our eyes meet. It may sound mushy or cheesy or whatever you call it, but I feel that somehow she also feels the same whenever Amber meets Emerald. Sigh.
It's not easy (thing to do)
Sometimes it's hard to (face the truth)
It's not the life that I would choose
But what else can I do if she don't love me
No if she don't want me
I'm not about to sit around let myself go
(gooooo)
But I reckon now that I was just deceived.
- Sakura's POV -
This new morning, I decided to go to that park for I feel that I wanted to have a rest under a wonderful scenery. It's the park where I saw him staring at me as I gained consciousness.
. . . I've arrived. I placed again the checkered blanket on the grass at the exact same spot. But this time, no picnic basket is with me. I sat there. I just sat there; somehow, hoping for a miracle.
After for some time, I suddenly heard someone,
"Ehem ehem."
I looked behind to see who is the person who had just said that.
In a short time, I finally met a pair of amber red eyes. I examined his face.
OMG! He almost looks like Syaoran!
A/N: LOL! You thought it was Syaoran, right? Haha! Got you!
"Uhhhh…" He said. I stared at him, waiting for his statement to be finished. "Have you seen a purple kite that must've dropped somewhere here?"
I shook my head in response; my eyes still focused on his face. Yes, he does look like Syaoran, but when you look harder, they don't look that similar at all. They both have amber colored eyes, but their hairstyles and hair colors are different. Syaoran has admirable messy brown hair, and this guy has spiky black hair.
"Oh… I see. Thanks anyway!" he uttered then he walked off.
I just gaped at him as he leaves. What just happened? I just met up with new dashing amber orbs?
"Hey!" he cried out while waving his right hand to me since he noticed that I was still gazing at him.
I raised my eyebrows in response.
"If you see it, please please try to look for me and return it, ok? It's my little sister's! I sure don't wanna make her feel bad…" he stated.
I just nodded.
After that, he walked towards me again; I still kept on watching his every step.
"Hehehe… I didn't mean to be so rude." He said, and then added, "I'm Kenju."
"Sakura." I replied.
"Wow!" he exclaimed then he sat beside me; facing me, "Your name really suits you. Cherry Blossom."
I smiled then a little giggle escaped from me.
"Hehehe. Cute." He whispery responded.
Before I knew it, I was waving him goodbye while I was in an utter blush. I never would've thought that someone could make me feel oozy other than Syaoran.
