What You Feel.
It was lunch time and Showran was playing on the basketball court. Even though Madison had talked to Sakura about the kiss that happened the other night, Sakura still would not say a word to him, not even look at the guy. Showran started bouncing the ball in his hand, deep in thought.
"Li! Li!" someone screamed. Showran turned his head to the direction of the voice and saw an out of breath, puffing, running Madison. She ran straight up to him with her chest heaving and lowering over and over again before she could speak as she stopped and stood right in front of him. Everyone now knew about the kiss that both Showran and Sakura sheared. Showran guessed that the word was unbelievable, but Showran and Sakura didn't care what the people around them think. They just didn't care. "Have you heard about the kiss that you and Sakura shared just the other night?" Madison asked, all at once. Showran nod his head. "If what you said to me was true, then please say the same thing to her. I thought that she'd listen to me, because she said that she'll talk to you. But, when I asked her what you said, she told me that she doesn't think you'll ever listen to her. Even if she begs on her own two feet. Just tell me, Showran. What do you really think?"
"Well I don't know what to think anymore," Showran confessed.
"Well, she thinks you hate her and because of that, she's not going to the dance," Madison explained.
"But that's terrible," Showran mumbled.
"I know," Madison agreed. "You two have to stop avoiding each other and talk."
"I don't know," Showran shook his head.
"Who are you taking to the dance tomorrow?" Madison asked, taking the subject to a drifting line, but keeping it on Sakura.
"No-one. I was planning on asking Sakura. But now it doesn't seem like she'll be interested," Showran answered.
"Then ask her out. She said she'll only go, but if a guy asks her first. And all the guys that have asked her out are almost all the guys in this school. And Sakura turned them all down, so I don't think they'll be asking her out again," Madison explained.
"Are you sure she'll agree?" Showran asked, with doubt in his voice.
"I don't think so. Try it out. You two have to talk alone and work some things out," Madison insisted.
"All right," Showran agreed. Madison smiled triumphantly.

Sakura was at home reading the book she started reading yesterday. She couldn't concentrate properly; because she keeps on wondering why Madison wasn't at lunch today.
"Oh, I can't take it anymore," Sakura said, her voice coming out in a frustrated tone. Just then the doorbell rang.
It was at least 7:30pm, so who would be knocking at her house at this hour? Sakura made her way to the front door.
"Who is it?" she called. Sakura didn't wait for an answer and with her hand, she turned the doorknob and standing in front of her was Showran. "Oh!" she said surprised. "It's you."
"Who else did you think it was?" Showran asked.
"I didn't think at all," Sakura answered, shortly.
"Look," Showran began. "We need to talk," he said.
"No, you need to talk!" Sakura said heatedly. About to shot the door.
"Look, all right? We need to sort things out. These last few days has been hell without you," Showran carried on. "All I think about is you, you and you! Ever since that kiss-"
"It was not a kiss, Showran. It was a misunderstanding. And anyway, you're the one that kissed me!" Sakura hollered.
"Well you kissed me back!" Showran countered. "Can't you just see that this is not just my fault?"
"No, actually. I can't," Sakura shook her head.
"It wasn't just for me, Sakura," Showran took one step towards her, which made Sakura's mouth go dry. "And I know it wasn't just for you either,"he said softly.
"How do you know?" Sakura's voice came out shakily. "You don't know what I want," Sakura forced the last bit out.
"I can, actually, because I can see it in your eyes," Showran said softly. "You might be telling me one thing, but your eyes tell me another."
Sakura opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
"I have this really, really weird feeling in my stomach, and it's been troubling me if you do or do not feel it too. Please, I need to know," Showran took a deep breath. "Would you go to the dance with me tomorrow?"
Sakura shook her head, confused. "I don't know," she looked up to meet Showran's eyes and her legs went weak. She couldn't move. At last, she forced herself not to look in his eyes any longer, maybe it'll do her good, and she didn't want to loose her balance and fall.
"I'll be waiting to see if you'll come. If you do, please tell me how you feel," with that said, Showran walked out the door.
With the last remaining strength Sakura had in her, Sakura shot the door softly. She took in a deep breath and sighed.
Sakura went in her bedroom and took out the dress Madison made her the day before and placed it on her bed.
'What should I do? Man, I'm so confused!' Sakura screamed in her mind. She then begins to think about the time Showran kissed her. Does she really have feelings for him? Sakura brushed her fingers over her lips smoothly and a nice wash of warmth hit her softly. Sakura licked her lips with desire and smiled. She's to have to come out of the closet some time.

It was the night of the dance and Madison, Eli and Showran were sitting on one table waiting for Sakura. Everyone was having fun, the thing is that, how were they to tell if it was Sakura or not, for everyone was wearing a mask.
"She's not going to show up," Showran said.
Madison gave him a reassuring look. "Trust me, she'll come. Just wait."
"It's been an hour and a half. What makes you so sure she's actually going to come?" Showran questioned, his eyes fixed on Madison carefully.
"I just know. Well think. Okay, what the heck? I have no idea," Madison confessed.
"Thanks for the comfort," Showran said dryly.
"You're welcome," Madison smiled, happy with herself.
"Look. There's still some time until the dance is over. So don't give up," Eli assured.
"Thanks. You really helped," he gives Madison a glare. "Unlike some people."
"What did I do?" Madison whined.
Then the room went silent and a teacher walked on to the stage. He had two envelops in his hand and was talking on the microphone.
"It's time to announce this year's Prince and Princess of the big dance," he announced. He opened the first envelope. "And now, this year's Prince is...Mr Li Showran!"
There was a round of applause. Now how did he manage to be the king when he only started the school a few weeks ago? Was something he couldn't figure out. Showran got off his chair and made his way to the stage, where he retrieved the king crown.
Everyone went quiet to listen to who would be the Princess.
"And this year's dance Princess is..." the teacher opened the second envelop. "Is Miss Sakura Avalon!"
Everyone clapped and waited for thePrincess to appear on the stage and retrieve her crown, but there wasn't a reply.
"Um...if Miss Sakura Avalon is not able to retrieve her crown, then I'm going to have to call runners up," said the teacher.
More time went past and still there was no-one up there to take the crown.
"All right, I believe we have waited long enough and I must announce this year's runner up Princess!" the teacher boomed into his micro-phone.
Li looked down at himself as the teacher announced the new Princess. He was right, she wasn't going to show up. He tried giving his love a try and he actually thought that this girl was someone special, but it all comes down that she just probably didn't care about him anymore.

From a distance a figure was watching Li silently. She might've been scared, but she was brave enough to at least show upat the dance. She watched as the girl that took her place dance with her beloved Showran.
'He's probably happy now that I'm out of his way,' Sakura thought sadly as she walked off with her mask covering her face.

Li watched as the familiar, mysterious, feminine lady walk out of the dance room. Who was the lady that all of a sudden caught his eye? Without waisting another second, Li parted from his partner and headed for the exit.
"Excuse me?" he called out loud as he reached outside.
The figure turned around without a word, still with her mask placed on her face.
"May I ask your name?" Li asked, sincerely, taking little steps towards stranger.
"I am really sorry, but I must be on my way," said the lady in a rushed tone.
"You sound extremely familiar, have we ever met?" Li asked, looking down at the lady's lips, which was the only place the mask wasn't covering.
"I don't think so. I have to go," said the stranger, walking off.
"Wait, I haven't even told you my name!" Li called after the lady.
"I already know who you are, my prince!" was her last minute reply as she disappeared through the darkness of the street. Li had the urge to go after her, but also thought of staying where he was. The only girl he was ever interested in was Sakura, now was this a sign saying that he had to get over her? How does he even know he would see this extreme again? He doesn't her name for instance and he doesn't even know anything about her.
'I wonder what Sakura is doing right now,' he thought softly.
