Recap of Chapter 3…
He looked at her and smirked, "Ash." His smirk got bigger when he saw the shocked look on her face before she turned away and walked out of the store. 'She is a "Girl From Mars" herself.' He thought to himself once she walked out the door. He then found himself mumbling the words to the classic song by Ash.
"Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?
I don't know if you knew that
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards
Henri Winterman Cigars
Though she never told me her name
I still love you, Girl From Mars"
Chapter 4: Acting Skills
Syaoran was sitting in his apartment watching the new episode of When Stars go Blue on TV. He found that since he entered the show people had been saying that he and Sakura made a cute TV couple. He had also heard Masahiro mention a few times that they had "chemistry", which he totally didn't understand, mostly because the girl totally hated his guts. He didn't understand what she had against him…okay maybe he made a pretty bad first impression with her but it wasn't like she made the best one with him either, SHE was the one who was wearing the towel! Then a scene with Niito and Yoshe came on and he stopped thinking to watch what they did with the scene.

Scene – Niito's Bedroom
The teachers had decided that Yoshe needed help in Math and had asked Niito who was doing pretty well in the subject to tutor her. They were sitting on Niito's bed while he was trying to help her without any success.
Niito: Come on Yoshe! I know you can do this!
He was getting pretty frustrated because she hadn't been able to figure out a single equation yet.
Yoshe: (sighing tiredly) I just don't get it Niito! It's too hard and complicated!
Niito: It's just (x+1)3! All you have to do is expand it!
Yoshe: But I don't like math! All the numbers are so confusing! (Yoshe whines)
Niito: If I do a problem for you will it be easier for you to understand?
Yoshe: (makes puppy dog eyes) Would you?
Niito: (sighs) Okay, you do it like this.
Niito then picks up the pencil and starts writing on a piece of paper. When he was done he had wrote: X³ + 3 X² + 3 X + 1.
Niito: That was all you had to write. (puts pencil down)
Yoshe: (sighs) I can't believe how bad I am in math.
Niito: (in a comforting voice) Everyone has trouble in some subjects.
Yoshe: (looks questioningly at him) Even you?
Niito: (nods) Even me.
Yoshe: What subject do you have trouble in?
Niito: (groans) Art.
Yoshe: (eyes widen) Seriously? But you hang around all those artsy people. You're in the drama club too.
Niito: I like acting and all that stuff but when it comes to drawing I hate it.
Yoshe: I always liked art. You can express yourself with what you draw on paper.
Niito: (sighs tiredly) Well if my hand could draw what my head wants it too then maybe I'd be better at it.
Yoshe: You can't be that bad (smiles)
Niito: The best I can draw is a stick figure and even those don't turn out that good.
Yoshe: Oh…
Niito: (smiles at her) But you're pretty good, I've seen some of your paintings in the school.
Yoshe: (blushes) Thank you…
Niito: (laughs) I actually made Yoshe Tatsua blush! Never thought someone like me could do that.
Yoshe: What do you mean someone like you?
Niito: Face it; in that school I'm just a geek. You're part of the popular crowd, who would have thought I'd be able to make you blush?
Yoshe: I don't think you're a geek Niito…
Niito: (sarcastic) Gee thanks that means so much to hear you say that.
Yoshe: Seriously, I don't. You're not that geeky, you're just really quiet.
Niito: So you think I should be 'louder'?
Yoshe: I don't want you to ever change.

The commercial had started and Syaoran was now staring at the TV while the people on the commercial advertised toothpaste. He was impressed with his and Sakura's acting skills. By watching that scene, if he hadn't known any better, it looked like they actually got along.
He then got back to his previous thoughts about how it wasn't his fault that he and Sakura didn't get along.

Sakura was walking through the streets of Tokyo. She felt like going for a walk that night. She was looking around and enjoying the look of the city, she may have loved walking through the city, but she was a small town girl at heart. She came from a small called Tomoeda. It was where her family was. Her brother Touya and his wife lived there, her father lived in the house she grew up in and her mother's grave was there.
Thinking about her mother made her sad. She had died when she was only three, barely enough time to even know her. She had always held a little jealousy towards her brother for getting to know their mother more, but she always enjoyed it when he told her stories about her.
She looked up and saw a billboard with two models in a very intimate position. She found herself glaring at the male model. He was, in her opinion, the biggest lying bastard to ever walk the earth. His name was Souji Kamiya and he was her ex-boyfriend. She then found herself glaring at the female model, which in her opinion was the biggest slut to ever walk the earth.
Memories of what had happened last year started to run through her head. She remembered how she and Souji had been happy and how everyone thought they were the perfect couple. She remembered how he made her the happiest woman on earth. But then Risa Rusashi started to do shoots with him. They had been taking poses like the one she was looking at right now on the billboard. She had asked him many times if there was anything going on between and he always said no. He was such a liar!
Tears filled her eyes as she remembered when she walked into his apartment because she had forgotten her book there the night before. Then the most horrible thing that could ever happen to her happened. There she saw Risa Rusashi walk out of Souji's bedroom wearing only one of his t-shirts.
She shook her head to stop the scene from playing in her head. She didn't need him anymore or any other man for that matter. She was an independent woman and could make it by on her own. She shouldn't let herself get all emotional over an old boyfriend; he wasn't worth it. She had already promised herself she would cry no more tears for him. He could have Risa, he had her blessing, and she hoped they had a terrible relationship together.
After she got her emotions in check, she continued to walk down the street. When she returned home she switched on the TV and saw the last few minutes of When Stars Go Blue. Coincidently, it was a scene with her and Syaoran in it. As she watched them act she couldn't help but notice how different Syaoran's character was to his personality in real life.
On the show he played a sweet and sensitive guy who she herself would consider dating, while in reality, he was nothing but an egotistical bastard who she couldn't stand to be in the same room as. Maybe if he weren't such a big jerk she would actually consider being friendly towards him…

A/N Sorry I haven't updated for awhile but school's been keeping me busy and I just got back from a trip. I went to Las Vegas with one of my best friends and dad. It was fun but I missed home and my welcome home present was snow! It was awesome my first day back at school and we got sent home because of a snow day . Anyways, I'm not happy with this chapter but I promise the next one will be better. I just wanted to get a scene with them acting out of the way. There wasn't much humour in this chapter but that will change. Anyways I noticed that people haven't been reviewing since I had to repost the story…hopefully that will change now that I'm writing new chapters again. Remember, read and review! Ciao!
