"SO!"
I looked up startled from my desk at Tomoyo.
"So what?" I said idly flipping through my math textbook.
Yea right. As if that was going to help me on my math test.
"So you're with Xiaolang now!"
"I guess…." I said not paying much attention to her.
The class, which had been noisy, was now void of any sound, and movement.
I looked up and saw everyone with gaping mouths.
Mingli came up to me desk.
"You're going out with Li Xiaolang?" she asked astounded.
"Sorta?" I answered weakly.
"Wow… lucky you." She said.
"Thanks…" I said cautiously, remembering her jealous temper.
"TO YOUR SEATS! Its TIME FOR YOUR MATH TEST!"
mr. I-have-a-stick-up-my-ass roared loudly as he entered the classroom.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"Whewww! That was easy. How did you do Sakura-chan?"
I looked dazed out the window as I vaguely heard Tomoyo speak to me.
"Oh…that bad huh?" she said sympathetically.
I wordlessly nodded. So this is what Xiaolang goes through everyday…last in the class…
"Hey!"
I jumped at Tomoyo's loud voice.
"Xiaolang is really good at math! You should ask him for help!"
I looked suspiciously at her.
"How do you know that?"
"Eriol told me!" she said, her eyes all sparkly.
"NO WAY! Not last place in school!"
"Eriol says he's actually a genius, he just doesn't use it in school."
I groaned.
"no wayyy."
"C'mon! Stop lounging around here. Let's go pick up the guys at Nanjang!"
God smite her!
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
By the time we arrived at Nanjang, I was sweating profusely while Tomoyo sat serenely like an elegant woman on the bench in the small park adjacent to the school.
If there was a talent hidden in Tomoyo, it would be her seemingly high social class. She looked like the daughter of a wealthy family.
"Tomoyo!"
Tomoyo looked up with delight on her face.
"ERIOOOOLL!"
Shit. They looked like they were filming their own love story. Crap.
"Sakura."
I tore my disgusted eyes from the couple and looked up at Xiaolang.
"How…are….you…" he said jerkily.
I had to hide a smile.
Sooo shy! After…he held me that day…I hadn't said anything about dating him…I guess its just an unofficial thing…
"Oh Xiaolang!" Tomoyo said as she and Eriol finished their "I haven't seen you in hours" dramatic love crap.
"mm?" he said pushing the hair out of his eyes looking toward Tomoyo and Eriol with a similar expression that I had not too long ago.
"You're great at math right? Sakura-chan just FAILEd a test! Want to help her out?"
NOOOOOOOOOO! This idiot is going to be so happy I'm slowly sinking to his level!
Xiaolang raised his eyebrows at me as I looked sullenly at the grass beneath my feet.
"C'mon fatty…let's go to your house. Your hubby will teach you math."
As he started walking jauntily away, I couldn't help but snort.
Hubby?
I waved to Tomoyo as I ran after Xiaolang.
"Keep calling my fatty and I'll leave you." I said laughing, which abruptly stopped as I saw Xiaolang's eyes shaking.
"Leave? ….me?" he said slowly his voice trembling.
"uh."
Wow. Sakura, that was real witty. But what do I say? What's up with Xiaolang?
"Don't leave me." He said looking controlled now.
"O-okay." I said relieved his little moment was over.
That was ….weird.
"Dad, Touya, I'm home!" I yelled as I opened the door, beckoning Xiaolang to come in.
"Sakura! Come to the living room! I want you to meet someone!"
I gave Xiaolang a confused look as I walked into the living room.
On our couches sat my uncle and aunt, who I recognized by photos. And a girl I could only assume was their child.
"Say hi to your aunt and uncle Sakura. They live here in Hong Kong and came to say hello with their daughter, Kangsung. She's only a year younger than you."
"Hi." I said politely to all three of them. I saw Kangsung take a long glance at me.
"My…Nadeshiko's daughter is very beautiful." said the woman conversationally.
Dad looked proudly at me and I said "Thank you." As I saw her glance at the idiot next to me.
"Is that your boyfriend Sakura? He's so handsome. Just right for our daughter here." She said.
….REALLY. What do you say to that? Um, yes, you're right.
As I looked uncomfortably away, Xiaolang said slowly,
"….I only belong to Sakura."
I began whistling and looking determined out the window for a very predictable scene began to occur…
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
Touya yelling.
I suppose I have a few more years until my eardrums give in….
"C'mon Xiaolang, let's go study at the library or something!" I said in an overexcited voice as I dragged Xiaolang out with me as he glared sullenly at my brother, "BYE BYE UNCLE AND AUNT! OH, AND YOU TOO KANGSUNG!"
"um, byee" my aunt said with a slightly shocked look on her face. Kangsung said nothing.
Weird girl…
I managed to pull Xiaolang out (and father must have managed to contain Touya Inside.) and gasped for air.
"I'm going to kill that brother of yours one day." He said simply as he started towards his mother's company.
Oh well…I guess we can study there….
"Please don't. As much as he is annoying, he still protects me and bakes me cookies sometimes. Because I cant make good cookies."
He glared at me and I shrunk away smiling.
"I'll protect you. Fuck. I'll make you cookies. You don't need him."
As if embarrassed, he quickly turned around and continued walking.
I ….am so amused.
I quickly stepped in stride with him.
"Awwww…. You really DO love me…"
"Shit. Shut up fatty."
"I told you not to call me that!"
We arrived at Li Corps still bickering… and bickering all the way up to floor 21…and all the way to the empty room we were in last time…
As I opened the door, I saw Zhouyu…and Kangsung!
"Kangsung?" I said confused.
What the hell is happening?
"Meimei! Help! She followed me all the way here! Just because I mentioned your name! So she followed me all the way here! I've changed my mind! Ge isn't the scariest thing in the world! Miyamoto Kangsung is! Scarier than principle Woo! Scarier than my parents!"
I saw Kangsung bite her lip.
"What are you talking about Zhouyu? Kangsung is my cousin."
"Oh?" he said starign at her.
She looked at him with a glare.
"You are so Conceited Chen Zhouyu! I heard you say Sakura, so I knew you knew my cousin and I wanted to see her, so I followed you so I could see my cousin!"
"Wah! Meimei, your cousin is a monster! Monster Kangsung! Rawr!"
…I give up.
I slumped down on the couch while Xiaolang went to the fridge and took out fruit juice, drinking out of the container.
"You're so hot babyyyyyyyyy!"
Me and Kangsung jumped while Zhouyu looked at Xiaolang.
Xiaolang daintily reached into his pocket and lifted out his phone.
CONCEITED BASTARD! Whose phone rings that kind of ring!
Kangsung must have been thinking along the same line for she said,
"…what kind of ring is that?"
Xiaolang ignored her as he flipped his phone open.
"What."
Only pricks answer their phones like that!
"Jiaxi?"
He eyes wandered to mine.
I looked away my heart thumping.
That's right…he's still not off from her….
"Sorry, I can't go. I have a date with my girlfriend."
I'm not sure what happened next…because it was so loud…forget losing my eardrums in a few years…I'm going to lose them in a couple hours…
"WHAT!"
Jiaxi's shrill voice sounded through the room.
Zhouyu and Kangsung both fell off the chairs they were sitting on.
Xiaolang looked pretty calm though…must not be the first time this has happened…
I felt a stir in my heart.
Great. I think I'm jealous….
"Yea. Sorry. Go with that guy you saw at the restaurant …."
"No! I only love you! What's wrong with you! We just got back together yesterday! Who is it! Who's the other girl!"
Before Xiaolang even opened his mouth, I knew what would.
I quickly covered my ears tightly and starting singing …
"FIRE BREATHING LADYYYY
OH BABY SHES GONNA BLOWWWWW!
COVER YOUR EARS EVERYONEEEEE
KABOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM"
Kangsung looked at me as if I was crazy.
"Sakura Kinomoto. So I don't want to see your face ever again."
SCHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Thankfully Xiaolang shut his phone off.
Zhouyu was rubbing his ear hard.
"Ge…you're going out with Sakura?" he said looking slightly upset, rubbing his ears.
"Yea." Xiaolang said taking the juice and drinking again.
"What did you say?" he said still rubbing his ears.
"Goddammit I said YES! You deaf!"
"Yea…your ex just made me deaf."
With out saying anything, he continued drinking.
Zhouyu came up to me and looked at me seriously in the eyes.
"I'm giving you to Ge ok? Because I realize he needs you. But if he ever makes you cry, come to me. I'll beat him up."
I smiled.
"okkkkkkkkk."
Kangsung came over and smiled at me.
"You guys make a great couple."
"Um thanks."
Kangsung grabbed Zhouyu's arm and began tugging him out of the room.
"What! Miyamoto Kangsung! What are you doing! Are you kidnapping me!"
"You Wish! Don't you know when to do anything!" she said nodding obviously toward me and Xiaolang.
Zhouyu turned to us.
By now Kangsung had managed to drag him to the doorway.
"What! Kangsung! What! I don't see anything!"
Kangsoon began yelling and finally shut the door, not before yelling loudly,
"You stupid! They need to make out!"
Silence.
"Ummm….I think she likes him…" I said uncomfortable.
Xiaolang didn't say anything as he sat down on the couch.
I didn't move from my spot.
Xiaolang sighed loudly, then reached into his shirt pocket, taking out a cigarette.
I quickly walked over and grabbed it out of his hands.
Not looking annoyed, he patted his hand down on the couch next to him, looking at the ceiling.
Tricked…he tricked me into coming towards him…
Dejected, I sat next to him stiffly.
He swung his arm around my shoulder…
We sat there like that for 10 minutes…
My nose itches.
Should I scratch it? That would be embarrassing…but it really itches!
Finally deciding to pretend I needed to brush my hair back, Xiaolang had his hand in from of me holding a heart shaped necklace.
I froze, staring at it dangling in front of my face.
"For…you…" he said jerkily.
I continued staring at it and finally out of patience, Xiaolang grabbed my hand, stuffed the necklace in and looked away.
I held it up.
The heart was made entirely of diamonds and a lard one sat in the middle. The chain was thin.
I looked at him.
"Why did you buy this for me…? It looks really expensive."
"No a fortune…"
"Then why did you buy it for me!"
He finally turned around and looked me in the eyes.
"Because…."
"Because?" I said starting to tease him.
"Because….Shit. Shut up fatty." He said his face slightly red.
"You're so SHYYYYY." I said laughing.
"Shut up!"
Grabbing the necklace from me, he opened the clasp and clipped it around my neck.
"See?"
He pointed towards his chest and he was wearing a necklace too… a chain and from it hung a Silver circle.
"It's a couple necklace."
I stared at his.
"I don't ….see how…"
He got closer to me.
"What are you-"
he grabbed the circle pendant and snapped it open.
Then reaching forward to grab the heart, he leaned closer to me.
Bump bump.
He carefully set the heart inside the circle, and clasped the circle shut.
My face was literally an inch away from his.
"…You see now?"
"Y-yes….."
I stared into his eyes.
He was staring intently in mine.
I felt him inch closer….
"GE! I BROUGHT DUCK! WITH YOUR FAVORITE SAUCE! ARENT YOU GOING TO THANK MEEEEEE."
I quickly pulled away and the heart snapped out of the circle.
I saw an ugly look on Xiaolang's face.
"Shuntu…..DO YOU WANT TO SEE BLOOD TODAY!"
"WAHHH MEIMEI SAVE ME!"
I couldn't help but laugh.
Xiaolang…had a cold outer shell.
But inside… he wants to be loved.
It's like no one had ever truly loved him before.
0ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0
…..wow. that wasn't very good.
Sorry!
Gonna get better!
I just wanted to introduce Kangsung.
Can you see the chemistry happening between Kangsung and Zhouyu? I felt so bad for Zhouyu, so I made Kangsung for him.
Hehe.
Oh yea, and that necklace. It's a real necklace. It was in a Korean drama. Although I over exaggerated it a bit. The heart has no diamonds. I think
Lol
Miss Kit.
