"I'm sorry, Ryko, but Sakura is my girlfriend." Syaoran said, grabbing Sakura's wrist, and pulling her swiftly into his arms.
"WHAT?!?!?!?! I AM NOT!!!!!" Sakura exclaimed loudly.
"Is that so? Then I guess I'll be taking my leave now." Ryko smirked, exiting alone.
"Wait!!" Sakura yelled, trying to get away, but it was hopeless as Syaoran has a stronger grip than she thought. When Ryko finally left, he let her go.
"What do you think you're doing?!?!?!" She asked him furiously.
"Getting back at you." Syaoran lied. "For making me lose my game. Now we're even." He smirked, walking away casually, as if nothing has happened. "Come on, I'll walk you home." He said.
"Prepare to die on the way!" Sakura yelled, chasing after him, with a glare, but light happiness bubbling inside her. At least now he has forgiven her . . . as much forgiveness as your enemy could give you anyway.

Chapter 7: What's in a Perfect Boyfriend?
"Get over it, Syaoran." Rei groaned. He and Eriol have been listening to Syaoran grumble about his tragic heartbreak yesterday.
"How can you say that with ease! I'm the heartbroken one here, hello? Or did you forget that already?" Syaoran exclaimed.
"How can we forget it, when you're constantly rambling about it?" Eriol sighed.
"At least I got back at Kinomoto." Syaoran grinned. Ah, sweet revenge.
"Okay, Syaoran." his two friends said in unison.
"That look on her face when I told Ryko that she's my girlfriend was priceless." Syaoran continued.
"Okay, Syaoran."
"You guys should have been there."
"Okay, Syaoran!!"
"I mean, that jinx Kinomoto is always jinxing me! If she hasn't cheered me on, I wouldn't have lost the game yesterday! I'll just make her suffer humiliation in front of her crush, aka, and my archenemy."
"Okay, Syaoran!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Hey guys, if I'm talking too much, feel free to stop me." Syaoran said.
"Actually--" Eriol started, but was soon cut off.
"But who wouldn't want to hear about Kinomoto's #1 embarrassing moment, that I caused?" Syaoran gloated.
"SYAORAN!!!!" Rei yelled.
"Yes?" Syaoran blinked.
"You really need to stop this rambling." Eriol said. Syaoran was about to protest, but then, a melodic voice stopped him.
"Good morning," the sweet voice chirped. Syaoran froze in his seat. It was her! He can't believe she's showing up now, especially what happened yesterday. Especially when he had been rambling about her to his friends a couple minutes ago. But he shouldn't be surprise, since she does have this class with him.
No, not Kinomoto! That was ridiculous! It was Kumiki.
"Good morning," Syaoran heard Rei and Eriol replied back to Kumiki. However, he kept silent. He felt Rei nudged him slightly, trying to tell him to be nice.
"Syaoran? Are you okay?" Kumiki asked.
"I'm fine." Syaoran replied stiffly. The sensei came in, and the class was silent. Syaoran was thankful that the teacher came in in time to put a halt to the conversation.
*****
Syaoran poked at his lunch, unable to eat.
"Why aren't you eating?" Rei asked.
"I was just thinking." Syaoran said.
"Don't, it's not your strong point." Eriol sighed. The three of them were eating in the school cafeteria. Syaoran shot Eriol a glare for his comment.
"What are you thinking?" Rei wanted to know, as he took a giant bite out of his sandwich.
"What makes a perfect boyfriend?" Syaoran asked. "You guys must know!!"
"Um, I can tell you what makes a perfect girlfriend?" Rei said helpfully.
"No! I need to know what make a perfect boyfriend!"
"Why?" Eriol asked.
"So I can perfect myself and maybe Kumiki would like me." Syaoran said. His two friends rolled their eyes.
"Well, we can't tell you what girls think the perfect boyfriend is!" Eriol exclaimed.
"Why not?" Syaoran wanted to know.
"Because we're not girls--" Rei started.
"And we never had boyfriends in our lives before . . . we don't tend to either." Eriol finished off.
"You would have to ask girls that question." Rei said.
"How could I ask a girl that question without sounding stupid?"
"Why don't you ask someone you know? Like your cousin Meiling?" Rei said, a light blush on his cheeks. "And be sure to tell me her answer." he added.
Syaoran narrowed his amber eyes. "You can ask her yourself if you're so interested in my cousin." Rei blushed again.
"Why don't you ask Sakura?" Eriol piped up. Syaoran almost spit out his orange juice.
"Why would I do that???"
"Why not? Besides, if you ask any other girl, they might think that you have a crush on them. But with Sakura, she'll never think you show affection for her." Eriol reasoned logically. Syaoran pondered about that. Maybe that blue haired friend of his was right . . . for once.
*****
"I told you so!!!!" Tomoyo giggled girlishly.
"Tomoyo! Li was just teasing, trying to get on my nerves, okay?" Sakura sighed. She regretted telling her best friend about what Li had said to Ryko about Sakura being his girlfriend.
"How would you know? Maybe that's the way Li-kun confesses his love." Tomoyo said.
"He was practically on the edge of dying when he saw Kumiki getting cuddly with the Link High's soccer captain! Obviously he likes her." Sakura said.
"Oh!!" Tomoyo said suddenly.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"There's Eriol waiting for me at my locker to walk me to class! I gotta go now, Sakura-chan! Good luck with Li-kun!" Tomoyo said, running away. Sakura turned the next corner to get to her math class--which she has with that amber-eyed jerk.
Sakura entered the classroom, seeing a paper on her desk, faced-down. She took a deep breath as her heart started pounding. She knows what that paper is. Her math test.
Everyone was buzzing around nosily, trying to find out what his or her friends had scored on the test. Sakura walked over and flipped her own test paper over. Her emerald eyes travelled to the top left-hand corner, where the mark was, written in red ink.
49%
Sakura's eyes widen. 49%!!!!! That was a 3% drop since her last math test!! Oh no!!
"Failed another one?" a voice dripping with egotism asked. Sakura whipped around to see her enemy with the amber-eyes looking at her with his usual trademark smirk on his face.
"That's none of your business, Li." Sakura glared.
"I got 97%." Syaoran bragged, obviously trying to annoy her.
"Really? Since when did Li Syaoran didn't get a 100%?" Sakura said sarcastically, sitting down.
"Touchy, aren't we?" Syaoran said, taking his seat as well, which was in front of Sakura. "You should really study more, Kinomoto."
"How I spend my time is none of your business!"
"Just trying to give some friendly advice."
"Friendly advice? From you? Since when?" Sakura narrowed her green eyes at him. Syaoran ignored her. For a few minutes, there was complete silence between the two of them. Then suddenly,
"What makes a perfect boyfriend?" Syaoran asked, turning around to face Sakura.
"Huh?" Sakura looked up from her math test, blinking twice, for he had asked that question quite suddenly.
"I said, what makes a perfect boyfriend." Syaoran rolled his auburn eyes.
"Why are you asking me?"
"Because you're a girl,"
"Why do you want to know?"
"You're suppose to answer questions with answers, Kinomoto, not with more questions." Syaoran snapped.
"The perfect boyfriend . . . that's practically the exact opposite of you," Sakura grinned.
"The exact opposite of me, eh? So the perfect boyfriend would be a female?" Syaoran smirked.
"You know what I mean! Stop playing dumb. Oh wait, I forgot, you're not playing dumb. You are dumb." Sakura shot back.
"What makes me a not perfect boyfriend?" Syaoran wanted to know.
"You're too annoying."
"Nah, that's only the way I act towards you." Syaoran said. Sakura glared. Syaoran gave her his best innocent look.
"Whatever, Li." Sakura sighed.
"No, really, tell me. What makes me a not perfect boyfriend?"
Sakura studied him for a moment. In her mind, there's no doubt that Li Syaoran is cute and even handsome. But like she'll admit that to him. Looks aren't everything. It's the inside that counts. And although she knows that Li isn't some bully creep, he can be pretty annoying and he has the ability to make her lose her cool whenever she's around him.
"Well?" Syaoran asked.
"You're an annoying creep who doesn't understand girls." Sakura said. "That's what makes you a not perfect boyfriend."
"Then what is a perfect boyfriend?"
"You just won't get it. What you need, Li, is a tutor."
"Me? In need of a tutor? For what?" Syaoran frowned.
"To give you . . . Perfect Boyfriend Lessons." Sakura said.
"Oh great, now I need a tutor!" Syaoran rolled his eyes. Syaoran battled with himself, deciding to ask or not to ask. Finally, he decided to ask. Kumiki was worth it after all.
"Kinomoto?"
"What?"
"Would you be my tutor?" He asked. Oh, this is just going to be the one thing he'll regret for the rest of his life; he just knows it!
"You want me to be your tutor????????????" Sakura's eyes widen. "What do I get out of it?"
"I don't know. What do you want?" Syaoran asked.
"I want you to stay away from me." Was Sakura's reply.
"How are you going to tutor me in becoming the perfect boyfriend if I stay away from you?!?!"
"That's your problem, Li, not mines." Sakura said. Suddenly, Syaoran's eyes caught sight of Sakura's 49% math test. Bingo.
"I'll tutor you in math," he offered, "if you agree to give me Perfect Boyfriend Lessons."
Sakura paused to think it over. "No."
"Why not? It's not like you don't need the help." Syaoran smirked at her math test, and Sakura blushed, embarrassed over her math score.
"So? It's not like you don't need help in becoming the perfect boyfriend." Sakura snapped back.
"Good, then we'll benefit from each other's tutoring. So what do you say, Kinomoto? Put aside our differences for a couple of weeks for the tutoring? I promise you, once this whole thing is over, we'll fight just like old times." Syaoran grinned.
Sakura bit her lower lip. Does she dare to join forces with this jerk? I don't think he'll try anything funny . . . besides, he seems desperate in knowing how to be the perfect boyfriend. And I'm desperate in knowing how to do algebra, Sakura thought, glancing at her math test once more.
"So what do you say? Deal?" Syaoran put out his hand.
"Deal! We'll start today." Sakura said, slipping her hand into his, giving him a handshake to confirm the deal.
"Today?" Syaoran asked, surprised it's going to be so soon.
"Yes, after we get dismiss from the preschool centre." Sakura said.
"Why so soon?"
"So you want to start next month?" Sakura asked sarcastically.
"No! Today after we get dismiss from the preschool centre it is." Syaoran agreed quickly.
Sugar Pink: Oooh, so what's going to happen now?? Will Syaoran become the perfect boyfriend? Will Sakura-chan be able to do her algebra? Will Kumiki fall for the new Syaoran-kun? Find out in future chapters of A Preschool Prank Romance!!
