Party Planning and Bubble Gum Pranking
Sakura and Madison was walking down the hallway of the school.
"I can't believe him. That stupid punk. Can't he just see he's just being dumb?" Sakura tightened her fists into tight balls.
"I know, Sakura. So what did you and Li do again?" Madison asked, biting her lips so she could stop herself from bursting out laughing.
"It's not funny, Madison. I think it's quite sweet," Sakura defended.
"Like duhh! You think everything is sweet," said Madison.
"Whatever." Sakura sighed. "It's just weird. Why all of a sudden Mark is talking to me as if we're on a break or we're are still going out?"
"Maybe he's jealous that you're with Li and Mark can't stand another guy to be with you. But if that's true, then he's being hypercritical," Madison explained.
"You're right," Sakura agreed. "I still can't believe that Showran only mentioned the dance so that I can TEACH him how to dance."
"Why? Were you expecting something else?" Madison teased. "Like, were you expecting Li to ASK you out? Sakura and Li sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N- G," Madison teased some more.
"No. I didn't want that," Sakura protested shyly.
"Yeah right," Madison said unbelievingly.
The two carried on walking. It was Friday and the girls were planning Madison's beach party, which was on Saturday. The word has already gotten out but they don't care. There would also be a sleep over at the little cottage far down away from the beach, say 5 minutes walk, but only Eli, Madison, Sakura and last but not least...Showran were invited. Sakura didn't see the reason of Showran coming. But Madison has her reasons.
Sakura sat in her seat in the Maths classroom. The classroom was empty and she was the only one there.
Sakura just sat there, thinking, thinking maybe she should just tell Showran about Mark and get it over and done with. But she just couldn't find the courage. Why? She doesn't know.
"Why can't you just hurry up and be real with him, be honest, with no secrets going around in-between? Why?" Sakura let out a fustrated moan. If this is going to carry on, she thinks she'll explode. All of a sudden the door opens and Showran walks in.
Sakura felt her heart pumping in her chest start to speed up. Any minute now and her heart will pop out.
"Showran?" She whispered out loud.
"Oh. Hi, Sakura. I never expected you to be here," Showran said.
'You see? Look how he is being truthful and you're not,' a little voice screamed in her head.
"Um...it's okay," Sakura said, trying to catch her breath. She pointed to the dest beside her. "Come. You can sit down next to me."
Showran made his way over to the seat next to Sakura and sat down.
"So have you heard about Madison's beach party?" Sakura asked. Hoping the conversation won't lead to Mark.
Showran nod his head, yes.
"Yeah. She said she's having a sleep over party as well. I asked who's going and she said Eli, you and her. She asked me if I would like to come and I said 'yeah, all right,'" Showran explained.
"I know," Sakura said. Sakura thought about it. Maybe she should tell Showran about Mark and anyways, what has she got to loose? All right, Showran is her friend and he won't mind much. "Um... Showran? I have something I need to tell you-"
DDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG...
The bell went, cutting Sakura off. Straight away, the teacher and the chatting of the students came rushing through the opened door.
Sakura changed her mind. "It's nothing."
Class began and the teacher went on talking. There were whisperings about Madison's party and who is going, guessing from where Sakura was sitting, Showran was top news of the conversation and already the girls were excited.
'I can't believe this,' Sakura moaned in her head. She was ready to sleep if the class got any annoying or boring.
When class ended, Sakura made her way to the door when a hand grabs her elbow softly. Sakura turns around to be seeing a very confused Showran looking at her. Her face softened a little. She gave him an apologetic smile.
"What was it you wanted to tell me?" he asked. Sakura shook her head as if to say 'don't worry.' They both walked into the hallway of the school and proceeded on going to lunch.
"So...when are we going to carry on the dance lessons?" Showran asked hesitatedly.
"Um... how about next week, after practice is over?" Sakura said and Showran nod his head.
They both entered the cafeteria together and started walking to their normal table.
They were greeted by their everyday friends. Madison was making out with Eli, when she heard Sakura's voice; she pulled away from her boyfriend.
"Hey everyone," Sakura and Showran greeted at the same time.
"Hi," everyone said back.
"It took you some time to get here. What were you doing? Making out with lover boy over there?" Madison joked. Sakura's cheeks turned tomato red.
"You can talk. How about you when you were sucking faces with blue boy?" Sakura counted back.
"She's right," Chelsea agreed.
Madison laughed as well. She nogded Sakura on the shoulder and whispered in her hear. "Sakura I need to talk to you."
"I'm listening," Sakura said, shortly, smiling at everyone trying to keep in her character.
"It's about the party." Madison said.
"All right," Sakura gave Madison her full attention. "Did you bring your car today?" Sakura asked seriously.
"Yeah. Why?" Madison asked.
"I didn't bring mine. So after school we'll go to your house and discuss everything. All right?" Sakura explained.
"All right," Madison agreed, still whispering.
While Eli was talking to Showran about the party, Showran didn't seem to have heard because he was staring at Sakura. He seems so worried for her. And he's always comfortable around her as well.
No one seems to notice to him that he was staring at Sakura for a bit too long, but secretly Eli could see how Li was staring at Sakura and wasn't listening to a word he was saying. Heck, even Eli himself didn't know what he was saying, but as long as he gets to see Li admire Sakura.
Showran carried on looking at Sakura when Madison whispered something in Sakura's ear and they started getting up and leaving, saying good-bye to everyone in the group. Showran felt so disappointed and didn't know why.
"I can't believe you're making me do this," Sakura said to Madison as they walked out of the cafeteria.
"Oh, don't worry. He humiliated you in front of lover boy over there, so you should pay him back, right?" Madison reasoned.
"Yeah. This is going to be good," Sakura cheered excitedly, clasping her hands together.
They reached Mark's locker in no time at all. No-one was in the hall way so everything will go smoothly.
"Have you still got that baby picture he gave to you?" Madison asked.
"Yep," Sakura started digging in her back-pack. "It's in here somewhere."
"I can't believe you kept it," Madison shook her head, unbelievable.
"It was always in here and you know me, lazy and sleepy when it comes to tidying up. But hey, I through the rest of his stuff away and I totally misplaced this one," Sakura explained.
"I can't believe all the girls he's dated and has broken their hearts won't take physical actions. I mean come on, this guy thinks he is a player for goodness sake," Madison exclaimed.
Sakura giggled unsteadily and brought out the baby picture of Mark in diapers. She handed it to Madison for her to do her thing. After Madison has taken the picture from Sakura, she reaches into her pockets and brings out a stick of gum. She rips off the rapper and starts to chew the gum for about 30 seconds. After 30 seconds has past, Madison takes the gum out of her mouth and sticks it on the back of the photo. She then places the photo on the locker and reaches out her hand for Sakura to give her something.
"Pen marker," Madison ordered. Sakura reaches into her pocket and brings out a fat black pen marker. Madison takes the pen from Sakura's hands and on top of the photo she writes the word 'DOG' in graffiti. They heard some people coming and quickly they ran off as fast as they could, giggling uncontrollably.
"I can't believe we just did that. Thanks Madison. You totally made me day," Sakura said.
"Hey. No problem. Mark can't humiliate my best friend and get away with it. Just remember that," Madison reassured.
They carried on walking to Science, where the whole group-including Showran- can be together.
"Oh man, we've got Science," Madison complained.
"Yeah. I know. If you want another detention then sayonara. If you don't then we need to get going. There's only one more minute until the bell," Sakura said.
"You're right. Come one. Let's jet," Madison said, regaining back to running with Sakura.
School was now over for the weekends and Madison and Sakura were making their way to Madison's therarie. Madison got behind the wheel while Sakura got into the passenger seat.
Madison drove off. Her and Sakura were chatting none stop about music, home- work, new enemies and new friends. Well, actually, Madison was chatting none stop while Sakura nod along the line and gave her point of view.
They reached Madison's house and got out of the car after Madison pulled into her drive way. They walked in straight after Madison opened the front door.
"Mom! I'm home!" Madison shouted, hoping to get an answer but there wasn't. "Probably got called to work," Madison explained to Sakura, who just nod her head in agreement.
"You want anything to drink or eat?" Madison asked.
"Is there any Doctor P(Doctor Pepper)?" Sakura asked.
"Yep. In the fridge," Madison answered.
Sakura walked into the kitchen and towards the fridge. She opened it up and started searching for the doctor pepper. She found one at the top and took it.
"Meet me in my room when you're done finding the doctor pepper," Madison said. Sakura listened to the footsteps of Madison's, going up the stairs. She opened her doctor pepper and took a sip and proceeded on making her way to Madison's room.
Sakura and Madison were leing on Madison's bed, the chest way.
"So we've got the D.J, we've got the dancers and we've got the guests and now all we need to do is make sure the food people-" Madison was cut off.
"They're called sheaf's, Madison," Sakura corrected.
"Yeah. I knew that," Madison defended herself weakly. "So all we need is to make sure that the SHEAFS bring the right food and the D.J brings the right equipment."
Sakura took a sip from her doctor pepper.
"So what kind of swimming costume would you be wearing?" Sakura asked.
"A two piece," Madison answered. "What would you be wearing?"
"A one piece," Sakura answered normally.
"Whoa! Hold on RIGHT there. It's a beach party Sakura. Why can't you wear a two piece?" Madison asked.
"Cause I ain't got a two piece," Sakura said.
"You can always borrow one of mine," Madison assured.
"I don't think so," Sakura protested.
"Please? And anyways, you'll look good in the volley ball game, I swear," Madison persuaded.
"And no funny business?" Sakura asked. Madison crossed her hands behind her back so that Sakura couldn't see.
"No funny business," Madison said. Sakura finally gave in.
"All right," Sakura said.
"Yes!" Madison exclaimed. "Our plan is finally working already," Madison muttered.
"What did you say?" Sakura asked, bringing her ears closer.
"Um... I said I can start making some designs already," Madison covered up.
"Oh. Okay," Sakura shrugged.
"Thew!" Madison sighed with releaf.
Sakura and Madison was walking down the hallway of the school.
"I can't believe him. That stupid punk. Can't he just see he's just being dumb?" Sakura tightened her fists into tight balls.
