Chapter 35 Who's going to the ball?

Sakura's POV

I didn't see anyone at all. I didn't even see Tomoyo, not even Meilin. I heard she was coming to this school also.

I was now waiting in the front entrance for Syaoron to arrive. He was taking a long time. It was 2:02 pm, he was two minutes late.

"Come on Syaoron, where are you?" I spoke to myself.

"Excuse me, do you have a phone?" I turned around to see who was talking to me.

"Syaoron, do you know how long I've been waiting here? I told you two o' clock was the time I would end. It's been three minutes now. What do you have to say for yourself? Wait..." I looked at Syaoron a little bit closer. He had a softer look...wait...this wasn't Syaoron.

"Sorry, but I'm not Syaoron." He chuckled to himself.

"Oh...eheh... sorry." I chuckled to myself. I turned back around and looked to both side to see if Syaoron was here yet. "When I get my hands on you...you're going to die Syaoron." I mumbled to myself. Suddenly something popped up in my head. I quickly turned back around.

"Aren't you Ken Li?" I asked.

"Yeah, you could say that." Ken answered with a bright smile.

"You look a lot like Syaoron Li, are you related to him in any way?"

"There's a lot of Syaoron Li, I'm not sure I know who you're talking about."

"Oh, okay." I turned back around and waited. It was 2: 05 already and he wasn't here yet.

"So you don't have a phone?" Ken asked again. Although he did look a lot like Syaoron his voice was softer and not as low as Syaoron's.

I turned around again. "Sorry, I'm planning on buying one, but for now I don't have a phone."

"All right then, I'll see you around."

"Yeah,bye!"

(HONK HONK HONK)

Just as Ken turned around someone starting honking. I turned around to see Syaoron's car on its way towards me.

"Do you have an explanation as to why you were late?" As soon as he stopped his car in front of me, I opened the passenger door and asked.

"Who were you talking to?" Syaoron answered my question with another question. Smart.

"Someone asked me for a phone and I said I didn't have one." I answered as I got inside the car. "You still haven't tell me why you were late." I put on my seat belt.

"Traffic." That was his simple answer. "I have something to ask you."

"What?"

"At the end of the week is my dad's annual ball, a dance thing that he does every year in September, I have to go and I have to bring a date..."

"So you want to ask me if I'll be your date?" I cut him off.

"Yes."

"I don't Syaoron, I have a lot of homework already and I need to study."

"On the first day of school? I went to the same college too okay, I was in the top class and we didn't take any tests until late October."

"I thought you said you didn't remember what college you went to." I smirked at him.

"So what if I lied?"

"I'll think about it."

"I'll give you until three pm...today."

"Today!"

"Does it seem like I'm kidding?"

"Fine." Should I go or should I not go? And if I did go I don't have money to buy a dress! I don't even know how to dance!

After Syaoron dropped me off at home he went back to work. Before he left he told me he was going to call me at three and get an answer. It took us 15 minutes to get home, so I only have 35 minutes to think of an answer.

I wonder if Tomoyo was working today. I'll give her a call and ask for her opinion.

I dialed her number and waited. On the third ring she answered her phone.

"Hello."

"Tomoyo?"

"Sakura? How come I didn't see you at school today?"

She took the words right out of my mouth.

"For one thing, it's probably because you're majoring in clothing design and I'm majoring in becoming a nurse."

"So how have you been doing? Haven't seen you in a while."

"I'm doing good. I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead."

I explained to her about that happened earlier.

"So should I go or not go?"

"Are you kidding me? Eriol asked me yesterday. I'm going."

"You are!"

"Yeah, so how about this, I'll make your dress for you. The ball isn't until Sunday."

"That's too much."

"Sakura, we've been friends for so long, how is it too much? You're not borrowing money."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'll start on it today! No, right now! I'll talk to you later!" She clicked on me and the next thing I heard was the dial tone.

I charged the phone and decided to get a little snack from the kitchen. Before I even took three steps the phone started to ring.

I walked back to it and answer.

"Hello."

"So what's your answer?"

"Syaoron?"

"Who else were you expecting?"

I looked at my watch and it was 20 minutes before 3.

"It's not even three yet."

"I thought by now you'll have an answer."

"What if I say no?"

"Then I'll ask a stranger. You know I don't have a lot of friends."

"And whose fault is that?"

"Oh come on, what's your answer?"

"I don't know Syaoron, I mean..."

"Sakura..."

"Okay, okay, yes!"

"Great! I'll talk to you later." Without a bye he hung up on me and all I heard was the dial tone again.

"Great, in less then two minutes, I got clicked twice and without even a bye at both times."

Before I could charge the phone, it started to ring.

"Hello."

"I forgot to say something." It was Syaoron.

"What?"

"I forgot to say bye."

"Oh... okay. Bye."
