Chapter 3: Friends in troubled times
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Hey Sakura!" Sakura turned her head to see Tomoyo running towards her.
Sakura was wearing tight jeans with light green tank top. She had light green earrings with a few bracelets that were all different shades of green. Her shoes were from Fubu and they were white and green.
Tomoyo was wearing a knee high dark brown frilly skirt with a white tank top. She had white and brown earrings with a brown necklace and a thick white bracelet. Her flip-flops were a light brown.
She smiled and yelled out, "Hey Tomoyo!" She panted slightly. Sakura chuckled and said, "No wonder you can't always keep up with me in phys Ed class."
Tomoyo smiled weakly. "Hahaha. Very funny Sakura." "Actually, I have to tell you something important."
Sakura cocked her head to one side, making a cute confused face. "daijabou?" "Well, our biology teacher put us with partners." Sakura smiled.
"So, what do we have to do?" Tomoyo fidgeted with her skirt and pulled at a hem. "Well, actually, we couldn't really choose our own partners." Sakura still had a happy face on, oblivious to what Tomoyo was going to say.
Tomoyo shifted and said, "The teacher partnered you with Li." Sakura's smile disappeared instantly and she froze.
Suddenly a loud scream erupted from her mouth. "NANII? No way! I can't believe I'm paired up with that stupid jackass!"
She put her face in her hands and started muttering, "No no. stupid jackass. This cannot be happening. This is all a joke. No no no! I WILL have a say in this… no no no! I cannot be with that monster!"
Tomoyo sighed. "If it makes you feel any better, I'm paired up with the monster's right hand man, Eriol." Sakura lifted her head from her hands and Tomoyo took one step backwards.
She literally saw fire blazing in Sakura's eyes. "That damn teacher. He KNEW we hated each other, yet he put us together! Why didn't Li say anything?"
Tomoyo coughed and replied, "He did. Well he tried. But the teacher wouldn't listen to him at all. And he threatened Li suspension and a whole lot of detention. Of course, knowing Li, he was a "model-student" in most of the teachers' eyes and in his parents' eyes, so he couldn't get a suspension."
"He could skip a thousand times and the teachers' that favour him would never make him absent or late." Sakura said while Tomoyo nodded in agreement.
Sakura just shook her head, with one hand on her forehead. "No no. why do I have to be with that freakin' ass?" Tomoyo patted Sakura's back sympathetically and they started walking towards the school.
"Tough luck honey. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine." Sakura brushed of Tomoyo's arm and swiftly turned her head towards Tomoyo. "Don't you dare say that. I will NOT be fine with that nefarious boy."
"You could try and talk to the teacher, but I doubt it will do any good." "Well at least I could try." Tomoyo nodded. "I guess it couldn't hurt to try."
When the bell rang the two girls ran inside to get their things from their lockers and go to their first period class.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXOn the other side of the school, were Syaoran and his gang of bullies. Syaoran was wearing black baggy jeans with a white muscle tee and a black shirt over top. They of course, were either going to skip school or come in late, which they usually did.
"Yo man. Saw the ugly one with Daidouji just talking and I guess Tomoyo spilled the beans about you being partners with Sakura. And man, was she mad." Syaoran motioned John to continue.
"Well, she started freaking out again and she told Tomoyo she was going to talk to the teacher in class." Syaoran nodded.
"Oh well. Let her rant about us being partners. I don't care, as long as I get to make fun of her, then it's all good!" The other boys laughed and picked their bags from the floor.
When they heard the second bell go, making them late again.
They entered their homeroom, which was with Sakura and Tomoyo. The girls saw Syaoran and narrowed the eyes, giving him the evil look. He gave her a loud smooch and all his fan girls swooned over him.
He ignored the fan girls and he sat down behind her. He leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Did you go talk to the teacher yet. Little miss cherry blossom?"
She snapped her head backwards and whispered fiercely, "How did you know I was going to talk to the teacher?" He leaned back and raised his eyebrow playfully.
"Honey, I have ears all over the school." Sakura rolled her eyes and turned to the teacher lecturing.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXFirst and second period pasted by quickly, and Sakura was surprised to see that Syaoran stayed away from her and hasn't bothered her…yet.
It was third period, her lunch and she was sitting with Tomoyo and a few other friends. "I still can't believe that you're partnered up with Li. And you don't even like it. He's hot. Mayu Yamazaki said, twirling her food with her fork.
Sakura stared at her in disbelief and she shrugged. "I mean common. Okay, so he makes fun of you and shit, do you actually care about what he says?"
"Yes, actually I do. I've always believed him since we were young." Sakura started. "But she has grown out of it and is now a very independent woman who can stand up for herself." Tomoyo said, interrupting Sakura.
Sakura smiled at Tomoyo and hugged her. "Thanks for sticking up for me Tomoyo." Sakura whispered as Mayu huffed and tried to pout. Tomoyo fakely laughed. "Only Sakura can do that Mayu, so don't even try!" Mayu glared at Tomoyo and gathered her lunch tray, dumped the food and headed out the cafeteria doors.
Sakura stared with a cute confused look and Tomoyo grinned. "Well, it IS true!" Sakura smiled then and laughed. It was great to have a such a good friend by your side.
Tomoyo's grin disappeared instantly and a frown replaced it. Sakura tilted her head to one said and said, "Daijabou?" (A/N: I can never spell that Jap word right! GRR)
"It's Li again. And he's heading our way." Tomoyo growled. Sakura groaned and rested her chin on the palm of her hand. "Him again? You sure?"
Tomoyo grimaced. "Who's the only one with a stupid looking gang behind him?" Sakura rolled her eyes and groaned again.
"Can't wait to be with me again, my little Cherry Blossom?" She turned to face Syaoran and his goons. She returned her answer by narrowing her eyes and scowling at him.
He held out his hands and said, " Hey hey Cherry Blossom. Don't get all bitchy at me. I didn't do anything wrong… yet." Sakura closed her eyes and reopened them, fire blazing in them.
"Oh go fuck a whore why don't you. I have better things to do than to listen to your whining." He tilted his head playfully, and if it were any other girl, that girl would have forgiven him and would be crawling all over him. But this was Sakura. His ex-best friend and she doesn't give in that easily.
'If I were still friends with him, I would have thought that was a cute gesture. But since we're enemies, I think it's a total turnoff!' Sakura scrunched up her nose slightly, crossed her arms over her chest and replied, "Like I said, go fuck a shitty slut, because I want NOTHING to do with you!"
He shook his finger at her. "Now now, don't get all mad at me. You also don't have to swear at me so much, because I did nothing." "Shut it Li!" Tomoyo said finally after watching the battle that Sakura was about to lose.
Eriol stepped in and gently pulled Tomoyo's arm aside. She retook her arm and crossed it over her chest. "Don't get into this argument. You know they have to work it out… somehow since they're partners for the whole year in biology." Tomoyo sighed, knowing that what he said was true.
"I know Eriol, but I don't want Sakura to get hurt again. What Li did was wrong, and I feel so bad that she had to go through it at such a young age. When what she needed the most was support from her friends, especially her best friend."
Eriol shook his head. "I know what Syaoran did didn't have any good intentions, but he was a bastard back then. He just didn't think she'll take it that hard and hold it against him." Tomoyo scrunched up her nose but nodded at this.
"Boys were such bakas back then." Eriol tilted his head and had a playful sad look on his face. 'That is so cute! Even though Syaoran makes it sexy, Eriol can pull it off.' Tomoyo froze a bit. 'Shoot, I shouldn't be thinking such things about a boy at this time, especially that one.'
"He just didn't get it though his head though fast enough." Eriol nodded. "But, we can be friends right? Since well, we are partners in bio." Tomoyo gave him a small smile and his hopes rose. 'I think Tomoyo is really pretty.' he thought.
"Well, since you didn't do anything to hurt anyone, I guess we could be…" She looked over to where Li and Sakura were glaring at each other and calling the other names. She then continued, "…acquaintance."
He gave her a grin and gave her a friendly hug. She blushed a bit and bit her lower lip. 'Oh. What have I gotten myself into?' She thought has she wrapped her arms around him and returned his hug. They were in their own little world until the yelling of both Syaoran and Sakura interrupted them.
Tomoyo and Eriol both sweat-dropped and Eriol shook his head. "They need to act waay more civil to each other, even though they hate each other's guts." Tomoyo nodded. "I know what you mean." Eriol sighed loudly. "I guess its time to break it up."
Tomoyo giggled and replied, "I swear, they are the kids and we are the parents." Eriol looked at Tomoyo and grinned, and then it dawned to her. Tomoyo blushed and swatted his arm.
"You fucking bastard! You know NOTHING about me so do talking shit about me!" Screeched Sakura as her anger started to get the better of her.
"Shut the hell up you bitch!" Sakura was really angry now and she had her hands in two fists and was about to punch Syaoran's lights out when Eriol took hold of her arm and lowered it.
Tomoyo pulled Sakura aside while Eriol did the same to Syaoran. "Sakura honey. Please lower your voice, you're going to hurt it and get a sore throat." While she said this, Eriol was having a talk with Syaoran.
"Yo man. Stop it, you and Sakura are acting so childish. And stop talking shit about her dude. You really DON'T know her, at all."
Syaoran glared at his friend for saying such things. 'Why is he talking that bitches' side?' "What the fuck man? You taking the gay ass bitches' side now huh? Dammit! "
Eriol shook his head and replied, "No. I just don't want anymore fighting." Syaoran tried to calm himself down but whenever he saw Sakura, his blood boiled up and he had to let all the cursed words come out of his mouth.
"Whatever Eriol." Syaoran muttered as got his backpack off the floor when he dropped it after getting bad-mouthed by Sakura and started to walk out of the cafeteria.
"Looks like he's leaving. Good. I don't want to see his fucking butt ugly face!" muttered Sakura as she tried to calm herself down. Tomoyo looked at her disapprovingly and Sakura's attitude got the best of her.
"What? You're gonna take Li's side now eh? Thanks for being such a great friend… not!" And with that, Sakura stormed off, leaving a trail of steam behind her.
Tomoyo felt sick. This was the first time her and Sakura actually fought for real. The other times were playful, but this one was real. And this one hurt.
Everyone was silent in the café and after the big blowout between Syaoran and Sakura, everyone started whispering and gossiping about them. Tomoyo ran outside and plopped herself down under a Sakura tree and cried.
She cried over the fight that her and Sakura just had. She cried for now the friendship was tainted. She cried over that Sakura and Syaoran fight so much and have so much hatred towards each other, it seemed like there was no solution. And she cried that she couldn't have a good relationship with a charming boy she just met, because it will start a bigger problem.
'What am I gonna do now?' She thought as she rubbed her eyes with hands. "Why am I all alone in the time where I need friends the most?" "You aren't alone Tomoyo. Right now that is." said a soft in front of her. She hadn't realized someone was there, watching her cry.
Awww! Who could that be? It is kinda… no wait… REALLY obvious… :D but for those who are clueless… well you just gotta wait till the next chapter to find out who it is who's watching Tomoyo…XD MUAHAHA!
