The Bet I Bet You Wish You Never Have Made

Chapter 11: Who Dumped You?

The next day when Syaoran opened his locker, his head is full of ideas. How to get Sakura to fall for him? He already did the whole give-her-a-present thing. There's got to be something else that he could do.

"Good morning, Syaoran," A voice said. "Mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"Oh, good morning, April. Uh, sure, by all means, go ahead." Syaoran replied.

"Cool," April said. "Why haven't we talked about your ex's?"

Syaoran stared at her as if she's nuts. "What kind of question is that?"

"The kind you have to answer to. So speak," April demanded, leaning coolly against the locker beside his.

"Well, I've told you before. My ex-girlfriend cheated on me." Syaoran replied.

"So, who was she?" April kept on asking. Syaoran flinched slightly. She wasn't going to let him off easy, was she?

"Well, I don't really wanna talk about it . . ."

"What's the matter? You don't trust me enough? Or is it that you think I'm just a nosy little girl who should just stay out of your way?" April put on her famous "hurt puppy" look.

"No! No, that's not what I meant!" Syaoran replied quickly. He couldn't have April stayed out of his way! That could make him lose the bet!

"Well, then, tell me!"

Syaoran's mind was racing. What should he say? Suddenly, in the corner of his amber eyes, he saw a person coming. It was a person with black hair and blue eyes behind a pair of small glasses. Cathy. Bingo!

"It's her!" Syaoran pointed at Cathy. April looked at Cathy and back at Syaoran with wide eyes.

"You mean Cathy the bookworm cheated on you?"

"Yes, it was she." Syaoran said.

"She doesn't look like the type to--"

"Yes, that's what I thought at first. But you can never tell with girls. They always change and . . . stuff. But don't tell anyone okay? I wanna keep this quiet." Syaoran said.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" April raised an eyebrow.

"Why would I do that? You know how I feel about you." Syaoran put on his charming smile. He was about to lean in to kiss her, but then he realize that Cathy was making her way to where they were standing.

"Hey, listen, class is going to start soon and all, so why don't you go back to your locker?" Syaoran said, trying to push her away.

"I still have time." April said, glancing at her black watch.

"But I don't! I still have to finish this assignment before class starts! And how can I work with your cute face around, absorbing all my attention? I would spend the entire time looking at you." Syaoran said. I do have quick thinking!

"If that line weren't so sweet, I'd think you wanted to get rid of me." April grinned.

"Why would I want to get rid of you? I'll see you later." Syaoran said, pushing her away to the direction of her locker.

April strolled away and Syaoran let out a sigh of relief. Then he saw Cathy.

"What was April Orimoto, the school biggest flirt, doing here?" Cathy asked.

"Oh, she asked for a date with me, but I turned her down, so now she's mad." Syaoran blurted out on the last second.

"Really?" Cathy asked.

"Yeah,"

"Well, that's no surprise. She's always dating new guys. Why did you turn her down?"

"Well, I have you already, don't I?" Syaoran smiled.

"Anyway, I wanted to ask you something, Syaoran." Cathy said.

"Sure, go ahead."

"Who were your ex's?"

"What?! What kind of question was that?" Syaoran asked.

"Well, I just wanted to know. I mean, a guy who's that big of a flirt like you are must have dated a lot of different girls, right?" Cathy said.

"I guess so. But my ex-girlfriend cheated on me." Syaoran replied, looking down at the floor. I might as well use the same lie.

"Really?" Cathy gasped.

"Yeah . . . so I don't really want to talk about it."

"Who cheated on you? I never heard that someone cheated on you." Cathy asked. Part of her was telling her "Don't believe him! He's lying!"

But she should give him another chance to explain.

"Well, I didn't think it was necessary to mention it. And if you really wanted to know it was . . . her who cheated on me!" Syaoran pointed a finger to the coming figure. It was . . . Ivy.

"What? It was she? But how can it be? Ivy is the ice queen!" Cathy gasped.

"That's what she wants us to think! She's really a big flirt behind that icy act. She cheated on me with this guy from another school. I can't believe it either. Try to imagine the shock I was in. It's probably ten times the shock you're feeling now. That's another reason I never mentioned it. I didn't think you'd believe me." Syaoran said.

I have fast thinking! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for passing down your thinking genes! Syaoran silently thanked.

"Oh was that what you thought? You worried over nothing! I'll always believe you, no matter what." Cathy gave him the most sincere look he had ever seen in his life. It suddenly made him a bit guilty over the whole bet. Imagine that.

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Syaoran was about to hug her, when he saw Ivy arriving. What's the deal with these girls today?

"Listen, I have an assignment to do before class starts. And I really need to do this alone and--"

"Okay I understand, Syaoran. See you later." Cathy smiled warmly before strolling away.

"I need to talk to you, Li." Ivy approached him, still in that cool attitude.

"What is it? You want to talk about my ex's?" Syaoran guessed.

"How did you know?" Ivy asked, startled.

"Well, I was uh . . . just joking. Were you serious?" Syaoran let out a nervous laugh.

"I'm very serious. So you better spill all the information you can give." Ivy said.

"Well, the truth is . . . my ex-girlfriend is . . . Sakura!" Syaoran blurted. Oh great, why did I have to say that?

"Kinomoto?!"

"Yes, Sakura. She's my best friend since forever, but we dated and she realized that she found someone better, so we broke it off and now we're friends again." Syaoran said in a rush.

"But why didn't you ever--"

"Why did I never mention it? Because I know you're friends with Sakura and all, and I really like you, and I don't want you to be mad at Sakura or anything. She's a good friend." Syaoran concluded. Ivy stared at him.

"You really thought that?" She asked, awed.

"Well . . . yeah . . ."

"That's really sweet of you, Li." Ivy let out a rare smile.

"Thanks, you're really sweet too. Listen, I still have to do this assignment before the class starts so--"

Bbbrrriinnnggg!

The bell rang, letting out a shrill sound.

"Well, that's the bell for class! I guess you better go! I'll see you later!" Syaoran said, nudging Ivy away.

"Okay." Ivy walked silently back to her own locker.

"Syaoran! Am I late?" Sakura asked him in a panic, grabbing onto his arm. Obviously she had just gotten to school.

"No, the first bell just went. I was going to wait for you, but Touya was home and your dad left early for a meeting at the University, so you can probably imagine what happened." Syaoran grinned, getting out his books.

"Yes, I probably can." Sakura giggled.

"Sakura, are you busy today after school?" Syaoran asked, closing his locker.

"No, why?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me." Syaoran answered. Maybe she'll say yes to his date.

"Sure, where are we going?" Sakura wanted to know, thinking that they're going to go as friends.

"Oh, anywhere it's okay, as long as it's with you." Syaoran threw her a sweet smile, but it went unnoticed.

"That's really sweet of you to say, Syaoran-kun." Sakura smiled, closing her locker. "I got to get to class, or else the teacher will punish me with a detention and I can't go anywhere with you after school. Catch you later!" Sakura said, dashing off.

In class

"Now, I see that most of you here doesn't seem to know each other very well. So, before class starts today, I'll be putting you into groups of threes and you'll tell each other all about yourself. The idea is to understand and make new friends. I hate to teach a class where all my students are strangers to each other." The teacher said.

Everyone sat in their seats silently as the teacher arranged the groups.

"Group one will be Rick, Ginger, and Jo." The teacher said. The three of them gathered together.

"Group two will be Melissa, Charles, and Lindsey." The three of them walked to another corner. Charles tripped over his shoelaces.

"Group three will be May, Jun, and Alyssa." And so the list goes on . . .

"Now, the last group will be Ivy, Cathy, and April." The teacher read.

Cathy looked around. Oh, there's that girl who cheated on Syaoran! She shifted her body sideways to face Ivy, the ice queen, who sits across from her.

"Hi?" She tried. Ivy looked at her, before acknowledging her presence with a simple nod.

She doesn't really look like the cheating type. But looks can be deceiving.

"Hey, I'm in the same group as that Cathy, who cheated on Syaoran." April mumbled softly to herself. She sat down in an empty seat.

"Okay, let start. My name is April." April started.

"I'm Cathy."

"Ivy,"

"Okay . . . say something guys. That's what we're supposed to do! Why don't you start?" April poked Cathy with the eraser top of her pencil.

"Well . . . what am I supposed to say?"

"Tell us about something you like." April suggested.

"Well . . . I like my boyfriend." Cathy blushed.

"Oh, you have a boyfriend?" April asked.

"Yes . . . do you?"

"Yeah, he's sweet . . . what about you, Ivy?" April turned to the blond.

"Yeah, I guess I have one too." Ivy grumbled, not really wishing to talk about a certain chestnut haired boy.

This conversation is going to be great! All three of them thought. Soon, the three of them were so busy talking with each other that they forgot about the whole "that girl cheated on Syaoran" thing. Even Ivy opened up a bit.

"So, who's your boyfriend, Ivy?" April asked.

"I don't want to mention his name . . ." Ivy stated.

"Yeah, I'm kind of shy too." Cathy flushed.

"Well, it's not fair if the two of you won't tell and I have to." April pouted. "And I was so curious about who are the lucky guys."

"Well, how about we go on a triple date sometime?" Cathy suggested.

"Oh, my gosh, that would be so fun! Yeah, we should! Let's make it this Saturday!" April squealed.

"Sure, that'll be fine . . . what about you, Ivy? Can you make it?" Cathy asked.

"I suppose. I still have to ask my boyfriend though." Ivy sighed.

"Yeah, we all do. But I'm sure he'll be there. He always there when I ask him to be." April stated.

"Yeah, I have to too." Cathy added.

"I suppose my boyfriend would do the same too." Ivy said softly.

"Okay, class! Time's up! I hope you all learn something new about your classmates!" The teacher said.

Little did the teacher know that three certain girls in the class learned more than they're supposed to. Ivy, Cathy, and April went back to their proper seats, each thinking about that certain amber-eyed boy . . .
