Chapter 4

taking actions

"I knew it!" Tomoyo screamed as she entered their classroom, she ran towards Syaoran and Sakura who's currently whispering to each other.

"Oh my god Sakura I can't believe it. And you told me that you don't like each other." Tomoyo said not breathing.

"Please Tomoyo calm down." Sakura whispered to Tomoyo.

"How can I? When I arrived at school everyone is talking about what happened. I can't believe that I actually missed it." Tomoyo said frustrated. Syaoran and Sakura sighed as they watch their friend take her seat. "

"Look Tomoyo please try to listen first." Sakura said to Tomoyo as she get up her seat and kneel beside her to whisper something.

"Tomoyo it's your idea, we aren't really going out. We're just pretending so I can get rid of Eriol, who by the way transferred here because he said he wants to be with me." Sakura explained as she stand up and look at Tomoyo who looked more frustrated than before.

"Really? That sucks." Tomoyo said as she sighed.

"Why do you have to pretend? Why not go out for real?" She added.

"Well-"Sakura and Syaoran try to argue when they were cut off when their teacher arrived and told everyone to take their seat.

"Ok let's begin today's lesson but before that I'd like you to meet a new classmate from England."

"What? England? Damn it! Just my luck, not only we're in the same school but in the same class as well. What could be worst than this?" Sakura thought she knew who the new student is.

"Mr. Hiiragizawa please come in and introduce yourself." The teacher calls out to the boy behind the door. Eriol walk towards the teacher not looking at the people infront. He then raised his head as well as his eye glasses. The girls in the classroom started sighing dreamily. "He so cute." One of them said. "Yeah I agree" the other said as well.

Tomoyo looked at Sakura who nodded when she seemed to understand whats going on Tomoyo's head. Syaoran looked at them confused. "He's the one from earlier." Syaoran whispered to Sakura. "Yeah, he's the one I'm trying to get rid of." Sakura whispered back. "I think he's really stupid, liking a girl like you." Syaoran grinned which make Sakura look at him with an irritated face.

"Hey I think Eriol's really cute, and now Syaoran has Sakura I think I like Eriol better." One girl whispered to the other. "Yeah, I bet he's not just cute but he's also smart." The other girl whispered back. "Well I don't think he's that cute." Tomoyo said "He looks ordinary for me."

The other girls gave her a confused look. "What are you saying Tomoyo? Are your eyes working?" the other girls laugh while Tomoyo looked at them puzzled.

"Now why don't you introduce yourself and tell us something about yourself." The teacher asked Eriol who's now looking at Sakura as well as Syaoran. The two of them sweatdrops.

"Well I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa I came from England." He started. "To tell you the truth, I came here because of a certain girl." He continued. Frustrated sighs can now be heard everywhere. "And that girl is…" He said as he looked at Sakura who look really nervous.

"Damn it stop looking at me. You're gonna get me killed" Sakura thought as she remember the girls talking 'bout how much they like Eriol. "Please don't say my name. Please don't say my name…" Sakura begged in her thoughts.

"…That girl is Sakura." Eriol continued.

"Man, I am so dead." Sakura thought as she saw cold glares coming from everywhere around her.

"But then I found out that she already have a boyfriend." He looked at Syaoran who's glaring at him.

"Somehow I don't like this guy." Syaoran thought as he continues glaring to the guy infront.

"Or if that's what she calls him…" Eriol said still looking at Syaoran now grinning.

"Did he know? No way! Our acting is superb." Syaoran thought as he looked at Sakura who also did the same as if their thinking of the same things.

"Ok Eriol you may take your seat now. And since you already know Sakura I think it's better if you sit at the vacant seat infront of her beside Daidouji." The teacher order Eriol who's now grinning even more.

"Now I take back what I said earlier, this is worst than before!" Sakura thought as she sigh.

Syaoran saw Sakura's reaction to their teacher's decision. "Somehow she looks cute when she's frustrated" he thought. "Damn it Syaoran what are you thinking? She's so not cute and she's really annoying too." Syaoran said to himself when he notice that he's admiring her instead of hating her.

Eriol walk towards his seat. When he reached it he sat down then turn to Sakura and said "Sakura, I promise I'll take you back." Eriol said as he looked at Sakura and smile ever so lovingly.

Sakura was shocked by what Eriol said. But was even more surprised when she heard Syaoran argue with him.

"That won't ever happen pal!" Syaoran protested as he give Eriol a leave-her-alone-or-you're-so-dead look. Sakura blushed at the thought that Syaoran is fighting for her. "It seems as if he really don't want me to be with Eriol…he's like an over-protective boyfriend…wait a minute, what am I thinking?. Of course he's not, we're just pretending."

"Is that so?" Eriol asked him with a sarcastic voice.

"Yeah…that is so. So just leave my girlfriend alone she's happy with me and we love each other and there's just nothing you can do about it." Syaoran said as he take Sakura's hand and wrap his around it.

Sakura blushed even more. "What the hell am I blushing for?" Sakura thought as she felt her cheeks getting hotter. "It will be too obvious if they notice. And Syaoran's trying hard to fool them." So she calmed herself down and started thinking of other things just to get the thoughts of her and syaoran holding hands out of her head.

"I don't know about that." Eriol said putting an annoying smile which makes Syaoran hate him even more.

"uhmm…Eriol" Tomoyo said trying to stop the two from fighting before they bite each others head. Eriol looked at her then smile.

"Whats up with that guy? One minute he's annoying, then the next thing you knew he's being nice. I can't understand him." Syaoran sigh as he continue looking at Eriol and Tomoyo who's starting a conversation. Sakura did the same and tried listening to what they're talking about.

"So you're Eriol huh? Sakura told me about you." Tomoyo started.

"And you Miss Daidouji must be Sakura's best friend." Eriol said giving her a genuine smile not like the one he gave Syaoran.

"Well you can call me Tomoyo and no I'm not Sakura's bestfriend I just happen to be one of her bestfriends."

"Oh yeah I forgot Sakura's one of the friendliest person I met."

"Yeah you're right, you know you're so sweet to Sakura, I like you I think you're really nice." Tomoyo told Eriol and smile.

"I think you're really nice? You call that nice? What the fuck's wrong with Tomoyo can't she see he's just acting."

"Ok class get your books and turn it to page 27." The teacher announced as she wrote something on the board.

"I can't understand him….darn it he's making me furious." Syaoran was cut by his thought when he heard Sakura's voice.

"Syaoran would you let go of my hand now?" Sakura hissed making sure that Eriol don't hear what she said. Syaoran suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he's still holding unto Sakura's hand. He then quickly let her hands go and said. "Uh-yeah right sorry 'bout that I almost forgot." Syaoran murmured to her. Sakura blushed.

"Darn it Sakura if you don't stop blushing right now you're going to get in serious trouble."She thought as she inhaled and exhale trying to calm herself.

"I don't believe them, it seems as if their acting." Eriol thought. "I don't know why…something's just not right."

-Lunch-

"Sakura, where are you going?" Syaoran asked Sakura who's carrying her lunch with her.

"Let's see…I know!...away from you." Sakura said and smile expecting Syaoran to fight back.

"Ok, go it's not as if I enjoy being with you. So I think you can enjoy your lunch together with that Eriol huh?"

"What are saying aren't you sitting at our usual table with Tomoyo and the others?"

"Believe me I would never eat my lunch if I have to sit beside your annoying admirer." Syaoran said as he pointed towards the table they usually eat. All of their friends are there. Well almost all of them are their friends except maybe Eriol who's sitting beside Tomoyo.

"Ok. Why is he there?" Sakura asked.

"Well why not ask Tomoyo? She probably invited him." Syaoran said.

"We can't sit there, it's too risky. Eriol is a really keen observer. Sitting with him means letting them know we're acting."

"Ok I'm really freaked out now, still wanna eat?" Syaoran asked.

"Syaoran…I'm really hungry now but I don't want to seat there." Sakura whine.

"Sakura, Syaoran!" Tomoyo waved at them as she saw them standing in the middle of the cafeteria. "What are you doing there? Why don't you sit?"

Sakura and Syaoran walk towards Tomoyo and the others. When they reach them Eriol gave Sakura a smile which made Syaoran glare at him. Sakura was planning to sit beside Tomoyo when Syaoran hold her wrist

"Sorry guys but Sakura and I wanted some time alone together. We can't join you today." Syaoran told their friends and gave them an apologetic look. Syaoran take Sakura's hand and led her away from the table.

People started whispering when Sakura and Syaoran pass by them. They walk towards an empty table at the farthest side of the cafeteria Sakura sat first then Syaoran sat infront of her.

"Darn you're really troublesome you know." Syaoran said to Sakura who's currently eating her lunch.

"Thanks by the way." Sakura said to Syaoran who's staring at her.

"Aren't you gonna eat?" Sakura asked wondering why he isn't eating.

"Hey it's none of your business." Syaoran said annoyed.

"Fine, I'm just asking. Why do you have to be so argumentative? "Sakura looked at Syaoran with an aggravated look on her face.

On the other side of the cafeteria where Syaoran and Sakura came from earlier, Eriol kept staring at them since they left. Syaoran noticed him as he thought of a plan to annoy him.

"What the hell's wrong with him? Well…It's really none of my business like he said…hmpf." She thought then started eating her sandwich again. Taking a few more bites she noticed that Syaoran's still staring at her. She put aside her food and stared back through Syaoran's deep amber eyes. "At last I finally caught her attention" Syaoran thought as he let out an unnoticeable small smirk. Slowly he reached for the chocolate cake in Sakura's lunch.

"Ok what the hell is he planning now? He said it's none of my business and now he's taking my food." Sakura thought still staring at him not noticing that he already put an icing on top of her nose.

"Hey! What's that for." Sakura screamed at him when she notice what he have done.

"Nothing I'm just playing around." Syaoran said giving her an innocent smile.

"So you wanna play huh?" Sakura said as she also took an icing from the cake that Syaoran took from her and tried to put it in his nose as well but she missed instead it was placed on Syaoran's cheeks near his lips."

"Hmm it tastes good." He said as he licked the icing that Sakura put on him. Then he glared at Sakura as he tries to put another icing on her face while Sakura did the same. They began playing not noticing that people are looking at them wondering what their doing.
