Chapter 2 – The Dumb Assignment and a Pie Fight
Replay from last time:
They all walked quietly to their homeroom. Well, maybe not everybody. Eriol and Tomoyo were making out right in front of Sakura and Syaoran. Syaoran and Sakura got really pissed off for their best friends' antics.
The four made it to homeroom (A.N.: I guess I made extended homeroom....hehehe.)
They sat down in homeroom. The sensei came in and said, "Konnichiwa, students! Welcome to Room 191! My name is Terada-sensei, your 10th grade teacher!"
The students stood up and said together, "Good morning, Terada-sensei!"
End Replay...
Terada-sensei is a very cheerful man. He's strict sometimes, but he is always giving students the Benefit of the Doubt. Terada-sensei was understanding and forgiving.
"I would like everyone to please stand up! And I'm going to point to a person and you tell me who you are, where you're from, how old you are, and what your hobbies are. I like to do this activity than doing the attendance. Okay!? Let's get started!" Terada-sensei explained.
He started out by pointing at the first person in the first row. The student stood up and said, "My name is Yamasaki Takashi. I'm from here! I lived in Tomoeda all my life. I'm 15. For my hobbies, I like to tell stories to my friends, and most of them are true! But they just don't believe me. I'll tell you a story right now! Well did you know that baby alligators are up to 6 feet and the mothers were considered to be smaller! And there was this one ti-."
He got cut off by his girlfriend who was sitting next to him, which to stop him, she hit his head with her fist. His girlfriend spoke, "Didn't I tell you not to tell your dumb stories that are not true!? Now continue with the hobbies and no stories!" "Well, I don't have many hobbies, 'cause most of the time I'm with my girlfriend..." mumbled Yamasaki, while rubbing his bump on his head.
"Ummm...Okay then. Why don't you stand up and introduce yourself," Said Terada-sensei like nothing happened. He pointed to the girl who was sitting next to Yamasaki.
"Well, my name is Mihara Chiharu. But you can call me Chiharu. I'm 15 years old. And I've lived in Tomoeda all my life too. My hobbies are going to the mall with Yamasaki and my best friends and just hanging out!" Chiharu said cheerfully.
Terada-sensei went down the row and when the row was finished, he then went up the row and kept pointing at everyone, until finally the back row, where all four of our main characters sat.
Eriol was in the first seat of the last row so he stood up and introduced himself. "My name is Hiiragizawa Eriol. But you can call me Eriol since you're the sensei. I'm 15 turning 16 in February. I'm from Hong Kong, but I moved here in Tomoeda 5 years ago. My hobbies are checking out the girls at any place and any time-"
Eriol stopped when he sensed that Tomoyo was glaring at him and had anger raging through her veins ready to kill him. "Uh...I mean that I like checking out girls! But just not right now! Sorry girls, I'm taken!!!" Eriol said with fear.
Tomoyo stood up next, but continued glaring at Eriol. She was really angry and had a plan to make him jealous and see how she felt when all the girls were drooling over her boyfriend.
"My name is Daidouji Tomoyo. I'm 15. I've been in Tomoeda all my life. My hobbies are reading and checking out the guys..." She stops to wink at the guys who were watching her. Eriol had anger build up inside his veins, ready to blow.
'I guess my plan worked! Hahaha...I guess Eriol won't do that to me anymore. I'm so smart like that.' Tomoyo giggled to herself and continued, "But I'm also taken, guys. Don't feel bad though." She sat down and Eriol kept glaring at her while she was humming cheerfully.
Syaoran stood up next. "My name is Li Syaoran. I just moved here from Hong Kong and I'm 15. And my hobbies are reading, kung-fu, and training to be the next leader of the Li-Clan." He said everything like it's so simple. Just one word out of his mouth and the girls were all drooling at him, well maybe not Tomoyo or Chiharu, but Sakura had a secret crush on him the first time, she met him, which was this morning.
Syaoran sat down while Sakura stood up. She saw all the eyes of the students watching her every move. All the guys were staring at her and drooling. And the girls were watching her because they were surprised that she changed over the summer. Sakura felt really uncomfortable and just spoke really fast nobody could hear, maybe except the person next to her...
She took a deep breath and spoke...quickly, "Hi,mynameisKinomotoSakuraandIhavebeenlivingin-TomoedaallmylifeandIam15andmyh-obbiesarereadingFanFictionandrollerskating..."
Sakura looked out into the audience she had, every pair of eyes watching her with confused faces.
Syaoran went up to her and told her to speak slowly and take a few more deep breaths. She nodded.
Terada-sensei said, "Um, that's interesting, Sakura. Can you repeat everything again, but slowly please."
Sakura nodded again. "Hi, my name is Kinomoto Sakura and I've been living in Tomoeda all my life and I really love it here. I'm 15 and my hobbies are reading Fan Fiction and roller skating."
(A.N. Sorry about the age thing...I totally messed that up. I meant to make them have the same age so they would be in the same classes. Gomen!)
Now she felt more comfortable speaking to the world, without a hint of nervousness in her voice. She felt really comfortable with Syaoran around to help her out.
The bell rang just in time so they could leave for their first period class.
"Well I'll see you guys in Calculus! Have a nice day now!" Terada-sensei said cheerfully.
Eriol, Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran went to their first period class. They walked silently to the Industrial Arts room, which was room 165.
Their industrial arts teacher was Tsukino-sensei. He was nice to the students if they didn't talk so much. He is only strict when the class gets really loud. He gives many assignments and usually partners people up. In other words...he is sometimes crazy in the head.
"I would like everybody to sit on a table. Please fill all the tables up with four," Tsukino-sensei ordered.
The four (Eriol, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Sakura) went to the table nearest to the door of the industrial arts room.
The class was loud, really loud. And you know how much Tsukino-sensei really hate loud classes. Tsukino-sensei got mad, but tried to calm himself down saying to himself, "Don't yell at them. Don't yell at them. Yelling at them will only get you fired. Yelling at them will only get you fired."
He was thinking reeeeeaaaalllll hard how to get back at them. A light bulb flashed through his head. 'Aha! Now they've got to do an assignment! And I will pick the partners. They will be so devastated!!'
Tomoyo and Sakura were talking about the Welcome Back Dance for the students and the teachers. And Eriol and Syaoran were also talking about the dance, asking each other who they were taking.
"You know, I'm going take Tomoyo. I mean, she IS my girlfriend, no matter how crazy she is!" Eriol said confidently.
Tomoyo overheard their conversation and heard that Eriol was taking her to the dance. She was so happy and mad. She was mad because Eriol called her crazy!
Tomoyo interrupted the boys' conversation and told Eriol out loud, "Awww!!! That is so sweet Eriol. Are you really taking me to the dance?" But unknown to Eriol that Tomoyo was wearing high heels and she stomped on his feet. He winced slightly, just so Syaoran couldn't see, but that didn't work.
Tomoyo whispered in Eriol's ear, "Don't ever call me crazy! Or I'm gonna keep stepping on your feet!"
Eriol winced again.
Syaoran finally had the chance to ask, "Why are you wincing, Eriol?"
"Oh nothing!" said Eriol.
Now back to Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Hey what's going on? Why is Eriol wincing?" Sakura asked.
"Oh that... He's wincing 'cause I stepped on his feet with my high heels. And I did that 'cause he called me crazy. No biggie. He deserves it!" Tomoyo explained.
They continued giggling until Tsukino-sensei interrupted them.
"Okay class! I've been observing you for the last 5 minutes! And you've been loud ever since. Okay, since you've been so loud, I'm giving you an assignment and it's going to be due next month! You will have a partner, but I will have to choose!" Tsukino-sensei was very happy, as you can see/tell/hear/read. (A.N. LoLz!)
"The assignment will be to make an object out of wood! You guys might think this is easy, but NO! I will pick your partners and you and your partner will work on an object I tell you to make. Each pair of partners will have a different design. None of them are easy. That much I will tell you. Now I will call out your name and a partner. There will be a boy AND a girl in each pair."
Everybody groaned in frustration. They didn't want to do this. Nobody did. Only the girls wanted to pair up with Syaoran. And the boys wanted to pair up with Sakura, but only because she looks more sexy than last year.
"Please come up when I call your name and your partner so I can give you an object." Tsukino-sensei wanted to start with the table closet to the door, which was the table with Syaoran, Sakura, Eriol, and Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo and Eriol!" "Yes!" They both cheered. They went up and they ended up making a violin for the project.
"Sakura and...Syaoran!" The partners were silent, but the girls and boys were all so jealous. They ended up making two teddy bears that had their hands connected.
Tsukino-sensei kept pairing many people together and have them make many objects like a pot of flowers or a figure of George Washington. So many students thought this project was dumb and un-useful in life.
The bell rang after the pairing. (A.N. I'm skipping the school day since it would be ever so boring! I'll tell you what happened after the school day.)
Eriol was making out with Tomoyo while Sakura and Syaoran were walking silently.
"Don't you guys ever take a break!!!?" Sakura interrupted.
Eriol and Tomoyo stopped kissing. "No," they said and continued on with their make-out session.
"Ugh...It might be better if you just leave them alone. They'll never stop if their lives depended on it," said Syaoran.
"Okay," said Sakura.
Since Eriol and Tomoyo were busy with their 'business', Sakura decided to start a conversation.
"So...Do you want to go to my house to start the project? Or do you want to go to Eriol's house?" Sakura asked.
"Uh...We can go to your house if you want," says Syaoran.
"Okay then. If you want to, but beware, my brother is really overprotective. If he sees a guy hitting on me...BAM!...He'll just knock you out," said Sakura.
"Don't worry about me...I'll be fine," said Syaoran confidently.
While they were talking about the project, not remembering Eriol and Tomoyo, Eriol and Tomoyo went to the bakery across the street and bought a few pies...
At this point you might as well know what might happen.
Eriol's glasses shined in that mischievous way again...
Tomoyo walked behind Sakura as quietly and swift as she can...closer the better...
Eriol also walked behind Syaoran...
:::SPLAT!:::
"OH MY GOD!" screamed Sakura and Syaoran, their faces filled with cream.
Sakura thought of a plan...
"Um...Tomoyo? What flavor is this pie? It tastes really good...Actually what flavor is that pie you have in your hand? Can I have it? I'm really hungry all of a sudden...," Sakura said mischievously.
"Uh...Aren't you mad or something?" asked Tomoyo.
"Uh...No...Now can I have that pie!!!??? I'm so hungry!" exclaimed Sakura.
"O-kay...then here...," Tomoyo passes Sakura the pie.
'Oh My God!!! She fell for it!!! Now time for revenge...' Sakura thought.
Sakura went closer to Tomoyo. Tomoyo back away a couple of inches.
"Uh...Sakura? What are you doing? You don't want to do that...I just put makeup on! I don't want to loo-,"Tomoyo was interrupted by a pie that hit her face.
Tomoyo took the pie away from her face and she saw...Sakura STILL had the pie in her hands.
Tomoyo heard laughing. Everyone was laughing at her. But Syaoran was the one who was laughing the hardest.
Tomoyo remembered buying 4 pies: 2 for her and 2 for Eriol. Eriol didn't have his second pie...
"ERIOL!! DID YOU GIVE YOUR OTHER PIE TO SYAORAN!?"
"No! He tried to strangle me and I gave up so I gave him the pie and...and he pushed it up your face!!!" Eriol was laughing hysterically. He couldn't stop and the others couldn't either.
When Sakura wasn't looking, Tomoyo took the pie from her hands and smashed it in his face.
Now Eriol was mad... "I'm gonna get you, TOMOYO!!!"
Tomoyo ran for her dear life, but she knew Eriol was gonna catch up 'cause he was an athlete and he ran really fast.
While she and Eriol were running, Sakura and Syaoran were laughing endlessly.
"Oh God! Did you see how mad Tomoyo got!? That was hysterical! I'll never forget this moment!" cried Sakura.
"Me too!" said Syaoran.
There was cream on both their faces.
"Sakura? There is some cream on your nose," said Syaoran, taking some of the cream off her face using his finger. "You know, you're right! This pie does taste good! Really GOOD!" He took some more off her face and eating it.
"Hey! Let me try some!" cried Sakura. She took some off his face.
And so they continued to eat each other's faces off while walking home. Sakura made it home first and Syaoran's was on his way.
"See you later, Miss Kinomoto Sakura! Haha...," said Syaoran sounding like a gentleman.
"Well, as do I, Sir Li Syaoran! Hehe...," said Sakura sounding like a lady. "Well I suppose you go now before my brother comes out and beat the guts out of you."
"I told you not to worry! I'm fine! Besides I'm going to go now. Ja ne!"
"Ja ne!" said Sakura.
Now back to Eriol and Tomoyo. And I was right...Eriol did catch up to Tomoyo.
"Now time for the consequence!" said Eriol menacingly.
"Oh whatever did I ever do to you?" said Tomoyo innocently.
"For throwing the pie in my face!"
"Well, you shouldn't have gave up the pie and let Syaoran smash it in my face!"
"Well do you want your boyfriend to die!?"
"Now that you mention it. That could work really well!"
"TOMOYO!"
"SORRY! Now what's my consequence?"
"The consequence will be..........a make-out session with me at my house! And that's that!"
"Okay okay! I surrender! Let's go."
