Last chapter:
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
A Preschool Prank Romance
Chapter 8: Perfect Boyfriend Lessons 1
Syaoran was quite glad that Ryko didn't bother showing up today as he and Sakura left the preschool centre. Who knows how long this will drag on if that Ryko had shown up?
"So, where are we going for the first lesson?" Syaoran asked curiously.
"We are going to the mall!" Sakura piped.
"Why the mall?" Syaoran asked.
"No questions!" Sakura scolded. So he kept quiet . . . most of the time.
"You sure about this? What if someone see us together at the mall? They'll think we're," Syaoran spoke in a whisper, "going out."
"Now why would they think such a silly thing like that?" Sakura asked.
"Because!" Syaoran exclaimed, "We're never seen in public together! Everyone knows that we can't stand each other!"
"You worry too much, Syaoran-kun." Sakura sighed, her voice dripping with sarcasm on the words Syaoran-kun as usual. "Now come on!"
And with that, she yanked him by the hand and off to the mall they went!
At the mall
"Now, if you were ever on a date with a girl, the first thing you shouldn't do is run off to see something that catches your attention. You always have to say politely to your girlfriend and tell her that--"
"Oh, look!! Dragon Slayers IX is out! Eriol, Rei and I were totally going to buy that! Be right back ok?" Syaoran said, running off before Sakura has a chance to respond.
"--you're going to be away." Sakura finished the sentence she had started, with a huge sweatdrop. This guy is hopeless... she thought. She crossed her arms and sat on the ledge of the mall's wishing fountain as she waited for Syaoran to finish looking at his video game. Moments later, he returned.
"Hey you got $30.00 I can borrow? That contraption in that store looks really cool and--" Syaoran stared.
"SYAORAN LI!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THAT IF THIS WAS A SCHOOL FOR PERFECT BOYFRIENDS, YOU'LL GET AN F- ??!!?!??!!?!?" Sakura screeched, catching unwanted attention from other people in the mall.
Syaoran flushed as he saw an old lady walked pass them with a walking cane in her hand. She smiled tenderly. "Ah, young love," she mused, continuing to walk.
"WE'RE NOT IN LOVE!!" Syaoran yelled back but the lady never turned back around. He whirled back around to face Sakura.
"Now why did you have to scream like that???" he glared.
"You!!! You imperfect boyfriend, you!!" Sakura yelled at him, pointing. Syaoran stared at her for a moment before walking pass her, mumbling something that sounds strangely like 'nutcase.'
Sakura strolled after him, still in rage. Moments later, the two of them stopped at a pet shop.
"Let's go in!" Sakura squealed in happiness, forgetting her rage as soon as her emerald eyes landed on a cute baby bunny.
"Why? It smells in there." Syaoran scrunched up his nose.
"Let's go in!!" Sakura repeated, this time being more aggressive, yanking Syaoran in with her.
"Eww...can we go now? It smells like dog poop." Syaoran said.
"Shut up! Ooh lookie! A parrot!! I wonder if he can talk!" Sakura squealed again. Syaoran followed her gaze and saw a green and yellow-feathered parrot perched in a cage.
"Aren't you supposed to be giving me perfect boyfriend lessons?" Syaoran reminded.
"Arkk, perfect boyfriend, perfect boyfriend." the parrot repeated after Syaoran.
"It does talk!" Sakura said in awe.
"Aren't we suppose to be somewhere where I can learn my perfect boyfriend lessons, my sweet Sakura-chan? You know if you're not giving me the lessons, I'll refuse to tutor you in math." Syaoran said, crossing his arms across his chest defensively. As usual, he coated the words sweet Sakura-chan with huge doses of sarcasm.
"Be quiet Syaoran-kun." Sakura glared, saying his name with the equal amount of sarcasm.
"Arrk! Sweet Sakura-chan, arkkk! Syaoran-kun, perfect boyfriend, arkk! Perfect boyfriend, Syaoran-kun, arrk!! Sweet Sakura-chan." the parrot repeated.
"Oh be quiet you!" Syaoran scolded the bird.
"Don't scold him! You'll scare him!" Sakura chastised.
"Come on! Can we leave now?" Syaoran sighed.
"Fine, fine! Let's go. You and you're yapping." Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Arrkk! Perfect boyfriend Syaoran-kun! Sweet Sakura-chann! ARrkkk" the parrot said to the two teens before they strolled out of the pet shop.
"I'm hungry." Sakura whined. "Let's go get something to eat."
"What do you want?" Syaoran asked. Just then, Sakura's eyes landed on a gift shop.
"I want to go in there!"
"I thought you were hungry!" Syaoran said. He was hungry too and doesn't want to go in some gift shop.
"I want to go in there!" Sakura said again, this time yanking Syaoran in with her, like she did when they were at the pet shop.
"Welcome!" the lady behind the counter greeted them with a smile on her face.
"What do you want to look at?" Syaoran asked. Sakura ignored him as she wandered over to the wood works area.
"What's this?" Sakura picked up a package that contains a piece of wood cut into a shape of a heart. Inside were a few tools that looked like it was used for carving.
"It's a carve-it-yourself-pack! It would make a nice Valentine's day gift if you carve the both of your initials on it with the tools provided." the sales lady said.
Syaoran quirked an eyebrow. "What do you mean the both of your initials?"
"You and your girlfriend here of course!" the lady beamed.
"We're not going out." Sakura and Syaoran replied both at the same time. But that didn't stop Sakura from thrusting the carve-it-yourself-pack into Syaoran's arms.
"You! That's your first lesson. Remember to get your girlfriend small gifts on special days to show her you care. That would be a great start. Now go pay it." Sakura instructed.
"W-w-what????" Syaoran asked bewildered.
"I said, go pay for it! Are you going to disobey your teacher??" Sakura glared.
"No, Miss Kinomoto," Syaoran hmphed and went to the counter to pay for the so-called gift.
"How did I ever let you trick me into buying this?" Syaoran sighed, looking regretfully at the bag that contained the heart shaped carve-it-yourself-pack.
"It's not a trick! You will thank me one day when you give that to the object of your affections." Sakura reassured. Syaoran just mumbled under his breath some more.
"I'm hungry. Let's eat!" Sakura said.
"Finally!" Syaoran let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's eat!!" Sakura said, this time yanking Syaoran with her to the food court.
"Let's go to the Japanese food stand!" Sakura said.
"Okay," Syaoran shrugged.
"Hurry up then!" Sakura said, yanking Syaoran towards the Japanese food stand.
Why am I being yanked around so much today? I knew I shouldn't have asked Kinomoto for help! Syaoran thought to himself.
While the two of them were lining up, Sakura was looking at the menu, deciding what she wants. Syaoran doesn't really care as long as it's edible.
"Oh! Let's stop here! I want to try this stand for a long time!" a voice said happily behind Syaoran in line. He froze. He recognized that voice too well. Kumiki.
"Sure." a male voice replied her. Syaoran recognized that voice too. Kenshii, from the Link High soccer team that he lost the game to the other week.
"Oh!! Sakura-chan! Syaoran-kun!! What a coincidence to see you guys here!" Kumiki said, noticing them ahead of them in line.
"Hey, Kumiki-chan!! Yeah, what a coincidence! Are you going to eat here too?" Sakura asked.
"Yep!"
"Do you want to join us, the more the merrier. I don't think I can stand eating him with him alone." Sakura rolled her eyes at Syaoran, who tried his best to keep an emotionless expression on his face, which was quite hard considering the object of his affections had Kenshii's arm around her shoulders.
"Hey, aren't you that player from Link High?" Sakura asked, looking at Kenshii.
"Yeah, that's me." Kenshii grinned.
"Are you two--" Sakura started.
"Hello, may I take your order?" the girl behind the counter asks in a friendly voice. Sakura realized that it was her turn in line.
"Huh? Oh!! I'll take the number three sushi meal please!" Sakura piped up cheerfully. She turned to Syaoran. "What do you want?"
"Whatever," was his reply.
"He'll take the number three sushi meal too." Sakura decided for him.
"No, I won't!" Syaoran protested.
"Then what do you want?!?" Sakura asked, getting annoyed.
"Get the giant size sushi meal. I'll share it with you." Syaoran shrugged.
"Ok, but you are paying for half of it!" Sakura said, refusing to pay for the whole meal herself.
"Whatever," was Syaoran's reply once again. Groaning, Sakura waited as their order was being prepared.
"So do you guys want to eat together?" Kumiki asked. "It could be like a double date--"
"No." Syaoran's firm reply cut her off.
"Come on, Li. You're still not touchy about that--" Kenshii started, trying genuinely to be sincere.
"No." Syaoran's firm reply cut him off too.
"Your order is here," the girl replied. Taking their meal in his hands, Syaoran walked off to find a table, while an angry Sakura followed closely behind him, grumbling about him leaving so abruptly.
"Is it really hopeless to take these perfect boyfriend lessons if the girl I like is taken?" Syaoran asked Sakura.
"You mean Kumiki?"
"Who else? You?" Syaoran couldn't help but let out a smirk while Sakura let out a slight glare.
"Well, if she's really happy with Kenshii, then you have to just let go of your crush." Sakura shrugged. "Oh yeah, take that into that head of yours, learn to let go. If you don't you will ruin the friendship you have with her." Sakura said.
"Then what's the point of having these stupid lessons if I can't use them?" Syaoran growled.
"You'll find another girl later on in life. That's when my lessons will come in use." Sakura said.
"What if I don't find another girl?"
"What makes you think you won't?"
"What makes you think I will?"
Sakura paused at this. Because even though you are a sarcastic jerk, you are still cute and good looking and is very funny and sincere if you want to be, Sakura thought to herself.
"Well?" Syaoran asked.
"Because . . . even thought you are a sarcastic jerk, you can still be very funny and sincere if you want to be." Sakura said, choosing her words carefully. She doesn't want him to come around one day and annoy her that she had once complimented him. And she deliberately left out the good-looking part out.
"Hey, Sakura-chan?" Syaoran said, leaving the sarcasm out of her name, for once(and probably for only once.)
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"Why were Syaoran and Sakura together today? I thought they hated each other." Kumiki said as she and Kenshii strolled around the mall.
"Who knows." Kenshii shrugged.
"Oh! Let's go in there!" Kumiki giggled, pointing at a pet shop. Laughing at his girlfriend's childishness, Kenshii went in with her without complaint. Once in there, they saw a cute parrot with green and yellow feathers.
"Oh! A parrot! I wonder if it talks!" Kumiki said. Suddenly, as if on cue, the parrot spoke up.
"Arrk! Sweet Sakura-chan, arkkk! Syaoran-kun, perfect boyfriend, arkk! Perfect boyfriend, Syaoran-kun, arrk!! Sweet Sakura-chan."
"Oh, it does speak!!" Kumiki said. Then she listened more closely to what the parrot was saying.
"Arrk! Sweet Sakura-chan, arkkk! Syaoran-kun, perfect boyfriend, arkk! Sweet Sakura-chan. Perfect boyfriend Syaoran-kun." the parrot chirped, repeating what it heard from Sakura and Syaoran's sarcastic conversation earlier.
"Oh my gosh! So that's why Sakura and Syaoran are together! They're going out!" Kumiki said.
