Chapter 9: Sleepover, questions and PILLOW FIGHT!!!
The party was now over and Madison, Eli, Sakura and Showran were in the little cottage Madison's mum owned. The 4 teenagers were all talking, so Madison decides to stir things up, like make everything more interesting.
"All right. This is a question to all of us. Who was the worst person you have ever been out with? And you can't lie. Trust. I know when people are lying," Madison reasoned, pointing to everyone quizzically. "I'll go first." Said Madison. She shifted her position so she could have a better way of explaining the details. "The worst person I've ever been out with is Simon Simpson." ( got the name from the Simpsons)
Sakura let out a snigger. She knew exactly why and just couldn't help herself.
"Because he was so lame at kissing. I mean, he'll put his whole mouth, like his whole lips in your mouth and all you'll taste is saliva and all his flame-" Sakura let out another snigger. "AND!" Madison said. Trying to hide Sakura's laughter in the background. "And whenever we'll go on dates, he'll always invite me somewhere and expect me to spend my whole allowance on him on the amount of food he buys and he even said that that is how guys get by," Madison finished.
"I can't believe that," Showran said. "How can a guy invite you on a date and expect you to pay for him? But he is kind of right. That is how guys get by."
"Whatever. All I'm saying is I can't see how girls fall on his knees and do everything he's asking for. That's so cheap," Madison exclaimed. She turned her head over to Eli. "Anyways. It's your turn."
Eli stiffened a little and thought back to all the girls he's dated.
"Okay. There worst person I've ever been out with was Clear Johnson," Eli said.
"You mean that slut that goes around saying 'oh my god' and 'like no way,'" Madison said putting on a fake voice she thinks Clear uses. Everyone laughed out loud.
"Yeah," Eli agreed. "I mean, she was always asking how her nails looked like and I would always say 'I'm a guy, I'm not meant to think about girl's nails," Eli complained. "And she'll never ask me how my day went even if I'm angry she'll always go on and on about herself. And if I'm not concentrating she'll say that I'm never listening to her and I'm always talking about myself. I mean she's in like an insect. But then I just couldn't take it anymore and I had to dump her," Eli sighed with relief.
"I've really hated her ever since I first laid my eyes on her," Madison said. She looked over at Showran with an expected look. "Your turn."
"All right. This is quite sad actually but I'll have to tell you anyway." Showran took a deep breath. "There was this new girl and she needed to be in the 'in crowd' around my old school. So she sees me and we're put together to do a project, so we got on knowing each other very well and then we started taking it even more than friends. We started dating and then started going out and I really loved her company and I heard there was this dance coming up soon, so I decided to ask her and she said yes. The next day I go back to school and everyone's all giving me this weird look as if to say 'are you crazy' and even my friends were giving me that look. So I must've been sitting in class and I heard some students talking and my name came up so I decided to listen. They said stuff like "I can't believe Li actually asked that girl out. I mean can't he just see that the girl is using him to get in the 'in crowd' and hasn't he heard about that bet she pulled of with the cheerleaders? I mean, it's been going around for weeks now, he must've heard it,"" Showran felt his mouth go dry so he licked his lips once, then twice and then another one before carrying on. "So at lunch that day I decided to and ask her if it was true and she said 'who told you?' That was when I knew she was really using me to get in the 'in crowd.' So for the first time I decided not to go to a school dance." Showran explained the whole story out.
Everyone was staring in awe with theirs mouths open. They thought theirs were bad but when they just listened to Showran's right there, they were amazed.
"Um... I think it's Sakura's turn now," Showran said trying to shake the attention and stairs from his friends. They all snapped back to normal and pricked their heads over to Sakura.
"I almost forget. Go on, Sakura," Madison assured. Everyone now had his or her full attention on Sakura, making her shirt uncomfortably.
"All right. You all know that Mark guy?" Sakura asked and everybody nod his or her head. "Well," Sakura carried on. "We were both going for 2 years and no-one really knew us apart for Madison cause she's been my best friend for years," Sakura swallowed hard. "Anyways. We were playing basketball in the school basketball court and the coach was watching and asked Mark if he wanted to try out for the team and Mark said all right," Sakura swallowed hard again and sighed heavily. Madison knew that Sakura's been wanting to tell Showran all about Mark, but just couldn't find a way and was glad that she brought this up. Everyone watched Sakura, hanging on her every word. "He tried out and got in. Ever since then we've been spending lots of time apart, he would always say he's got basketball practice or homework and test in the morning so he wouldn't be able to make it. So I couldn't stand the space between us, so I decided to try out for cheerleading just to spend more time with him. I got in and one time at practice, I saw him with some other girl, making out in his car. He never knew I was in the cheerleading team so he had no idea. He said he could explain and it wasn't what I thought it was and to shove it where the sun don't shine," Sakura returned back to her normal cherry voice. "And ever since then I've given up boys."
Showran stared in awe, not knowing what to say, but Madison and Eli just sat there knowingly. The silence drowned the room. Then Madison decides to break the silence.
"All right. Um... who wants something to drink?" Madison asked as if nothing had happened.
Showran finally snapped back to normal and turned his expression from shock to calm and cool. "Me, please," he said.
Madison got up and pulled Eli with her.
"Why do I have to go? It's his drink," Eli whined childly.
"Yeah, but YOU need a DRINK as well, right?" Madison ordered through clenched teeth, grabbing Eli to his feet, pulling him to the kitchen. There, Madison stood and watched Sakura and Showran sit in silence.
"They look so cute together," Madison said.
"Cute is what you girls say. But 'right' is the word us guys would be saying so they look right together," Eli corrected in his own language. Madison shakes her head in disapproval.
"You guys are so full of yourselves," said Madison and pulls her attention back into getting the drinks.
"Oh yeah, Sakura. I've been meaning to ask you, who is your new boyfriend?" Showran asked out of the blue, catching Sakura right out of her thoughts.
"What?" Sakura asked, she seemed to have not heard Showran.
"Um...it's more of a crush than a real boyfriend," Sakura lied, but is it really a lie? Or does she mean it? 'I can't believe I just said that,' Sakura thought.
"And who is this guy?" Showran asked curiously.
"Um...I...um. Is that Madison calling me? Maybe Eli's gotten out of control and splashed some water on Madison," Sakura lied again. Without another word being able to be said by Showran, Sakura quickly got up and rushed her feet over to the kitchen.
Sakura sighed as she walked in and walked over to Madison who was just putting the cups on a tray.
"Oh hey, Sakura," Madison chirped as she held the tray in her two hands and started making her way to the entrance of the kitchen. Madison noticed the look Sakura had on her face; it was more of like 'I can't believe this happening' look. "What's wrong?" Madison asked knowingly. Sakura looked around the kitchen and noticed Eli wasn't there. As if reading Sakura's mind, Madison said "He went to the bathroom," Sakura nod her head to show that she just heard what Madison had just said.
"Well, I told you about Mark earlier, right?" Sakura said and Madison nod her head along. "Showran asked me who my boyfriend was and I said that it was more of a crush than a real thing," Sakura explained. "Why did I say that?" Sakura moanedn. Madison thought for a while and to Sakura it seamed like Madison had a hundred answers in her head and stopped to answer with just one. "Well you see Sakura-"
"Madison, are you having trouble with the drinks? Cause if Eli is-" Showran stopped as he entered the kitchen. He turned to leave. "I guess you two are having a private chat, don't let me stop you," Showran apologized.
Sakura got up to reassure him. "It's all right, Showran. We were just bringing the drinks."
"Yeah," Madison perked in to help Sakura along. "I'll bring the drinks and you guys tell Eli that we're carrying on, all right?"
"Yeah," Sakura and Showran said at the same time. They both turn to give each other weird looks but decided not to.
A half an hour has past and Madison, Eli, Sakura and Showran were all in Madison and Sakura's room. Sakura didn't know why, but Madison has her reasons.
They were all sitting on Madison's bed and joking around. Showran kept sending glances at Sakura and Sakura seemed to notice, which made Sakura blush.
Eli something and Madison replied saying "No way. You're like so lying."
"Huh-uh!" Eli protested childly, which made everyone laugh.
"Is too!" Madison retorted.
"Is not!"
"Is too!" Madison through a cushion at Eli and Eli through one back.
"PILLOW FIGHT!" Eli screamed and straight away Showran and Sakura grabbed a cushion and through it at each other.
Sakura stood on the bed so she could get a better look at who will hit her and who wouldn't so she get ready. Madison rolled over and knocked Sakura down to her knees making her collided with Showran and them two falling on the floor. The two rolled on the floor and Showran ended up being on top of Sakura.
Sakura opened her eyes to be face to face with Showran's face. She could feel this wait on her but didn't want to notice it even though he was a bit heavy.
They both stayed in that position for several minutes while Madison and Eli were snickering in the background.
"Um...Showran?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah?" he answered.
"Would you mind getting off of me?" Sakura asked. All of a sudden she felt unhappy and stupid for herself for saying that. Showran looked down and realised what Sakura was trying to say.
"Oh. Well, okay," Showran started getting off Sakura earning some little laughing from Madison and Eli.
Madison and Sakura were in their bedroom talking. Then Madison decides to bring the conversation to Showran.
"So, how did it feel like to have him on top of you?" Madison asked. Sakura blushed slightly.
"I don't know what you mean," Sakura said.
Madison rolled her eyes, unbelievable at Sakura. "Come on, Sakura. I mean, we've all had our "little" mishaps sometime. Only this time, it was you and Li. So how did it feel?" Madison asked again. Sakura shrugged her shoulders.
I don't know. Well, actually, I did feel a bit funny inside,2 Sakura answered shyly. "I mean, what does this mean?"
Madison tapped her nose with her index finder signalling 'Something I know and for you to find out.' Sakura pouted stubbornly.
"Goodnight, Sakura," Madison said and turned off her bedside lamp.
"Yeah," Sakura yawned. "Goodnight, Madison."
