Ice Queen
Chapter Seventeen
"Hurry up! You're the one who wanted to go!" Sakura shouted impatiently. The high school girl sighed and waited at the bottom of the stairs, already ready to go.
Her hair had ice blue streaks in it, and was up in a high ponytail. Light blue eye shadow dashed across the top of her eyes, while a silver lip gloss adorned her small mouth.
She wore a leather black mini skirt with a slit up the right side and boots with blue-silver markings on them. Her shirt was like a tank top, but there was only one strap, and across it where the words 'Ice Queen' in white and blue lightening.
On her hands were black, fingerless gloves that had blue outlining, and on her upper left arm was a black band with a buckle on it.
Her cold emerald eyes flashed as Syaoran slowly made his way downstairs. "Sorry, but you know, you don't have to yell."
He was dressed in a green shirt with the sleeves torn, and his black shorts had buckles over them and reached well below his knees.
Sakura sighed and grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door, "Come on. You where the one who agreed to go to the festival in the first place! I don't know why I let you three talk me into this."
The two were heading to the Seijirou High Cultural Festival. Every year, the two schools competed for the title of best high school festival, so the celebration was held on two different days, and a few days afterwards, the community would announce the winning school.
The festivals were always held on school days so the opposing school could not see what they had done. This year, Tomoyo was in charge of running Tomoeda High's festival, so they had recruited Syaoran and Sakura, who were conveniently suspended to see how well the opposing team's project was going.
"I agreed for both of us to do it since we get a lot of extra credit... something you probably need," Syaoran retorted and pulled his hand away. "I mean, Ice Queen doesn't bother study, does she?"
"No. I don't," was her only reply. After that, she didn't say another word.
Wondering about her strange silence, Syaoran turned and looked sharply at her, "And that's why you need extra credit... right?"
"No. I don't."
"But..." he looked worriedly at her. "Don't you want to get into a college? Without passing grades... you might not even graduate high school!"
"Yes. And No. I will."
"What?"
Sighing, Sakura stopped, "Look... I do want to get into a college... and I will. I know for sure I can. In fact, I have top grades in everything except math... you have top grades there. I don't study... I don't need to."
Without warning she began walking again, leaving a surprised Syaoran behind.
"M-Matte! Wait for me!"

Syaoran's POV
A pink petal flew past Sakura's face, "Kirei..." The gate in front of the school was shrouded in Sakura trees, their small blossoms twirling everywhere in the air.
Whoa. Did SHE just say... pretty?!
Syaoran smiled at Sakura and they walked into school grounds. "This place sucks, I don't see why Tomoyo was so worried," Sakura eyed all the stands. "You think for a competition they'd try harder on presentation."
All the booths where just plain wood with just a piece of paper with the name of the game on them.
"Do you want to play this?" Syaoran pointed at a stand where you shot arrows at the prepared targets. He handed one of the workers five dollars and picked up a bow. With amazing precision, he shot three arrows at the same time. Each of the three targets dead center.
Ha! So there! All that training I did when I was a kid didn't go to waste after all.
Loud clapping resounded and Sakura gave a start. A crowd had gathered around and everyone had witnessed the awesome feat Syaoran had just pulled off.
Rushing up to the amber-eyed boy, she took his hand and began pulling him away, "Let's go. Someone here might recognize us and then we'd be in deep s."
"Hold on. Thanks," Syaoran took the giant duck he had won as a prize out of a Seijirou Student. "Here Sakura, a present."
"A giant duck, I must be the luckiest girl in the world," Sakura rolled her eyes, grabbed the duck, and pulled the two of them out of the crowd. "By the way, did you have to make such a scene?
"People might not recognize the new transfer student at Tomoeda High, but I'm famous all around this area. You know, being the Ice Queen."
Oh... so that's why she's been putting on that fake smile the entire day... no one would think she's the Ice Queen if she smiles...
"You know, nice try smiling to convince others your not the Ice Queen... but you know, with that shirt your wearing... it's not that hard to guess," Syaoran tried hard to keep himself from laughing.
Turning pink with embarrassment, Sakura hissed, "S-Shut up!"
"Let's go!!!!! Let's go!!!" a bunch of giggling and shouting girls ran past them, squealing. "The play is about to start!!"
Looking at each other, Sakura and Syaoran both said, "Play?"
Quickly following the annoying, preppy girls, they found themselves joining a large crowd of people standing in front of a well-made and decorative stage.
Whoa... I bet this is what they spent all their money on! Not the games, but on this play! And by the looks on the faces of the crowd it was going to be a hit.
"Romeo... Romeo!" The curtains pulled away, revealing a woman in a long red gown searching frantically around for her lover. (Just in case there are any idiots out there that have not yet realized this is Romeo and Juliet, that's what the play is.)
----Many Hours Later----
Applause thundered throughout the school. The play was flawless. Some women were crying and others where cheering, but the only two students from Tomoeda High there were completely silent.
One thought sped both their heads, "We're doomed."
To be continued...
Hehehehe. You know, about the duck... =P That happened to me. My brother and cousin won a giant duck for me and I said the exact phrase I had Sakura say in the ficcy.
Matte – Wait
