Chapter 36

Sakura's POV

"SAKURA!"

School had just ended. Someone yelled out my name and I turned around to see who it was. Tomoyo was running down the stairs from the school entrance and waving her left arm towards me as if motioning me to stop or go to her. Her right arm was occupied with at least three textbooks.

I didn't know what she meant by that motion so I guess I'll stand here and wait for her.

"Oh great, I finally caught up to you." Tomoyo was now breathless. Her right hand was on my left shoulder, she switched her books around. It seems like she was using my shoulder to support her.

"What's with the rush?" I asked as we started walking slowly towards the area I always waited for Syaoron.

"It's two days before the ball, I need you to come over to my house and try on the dress to see if I should make any changes or not."

"I can but I have to tell Syaoron first."

"Why?"

"Because he comes and pick me up after school."

"Oh, you can use my phone." She said while digging through her back pack for her phone. "Here."

I took the phone from her. As soon as I started dialing Syaoron's cell phone his car came into view.

"I guess I won't be needing this after all." I closed the phone and hand it back to Tomoyo. She looked at Syaoron's car as soon as it came to a stop.

"I guess we were a bit slow." Tomoyo said while putting the phone back away.

I went to the passenger door and opened it up to talk to Syaoron.

"Hi." I spoke first and that was lame.

"Hi?" Syaoron looked kind of serious.

"Um..."

"I know, I'll see you at home okay?" Was Syaoron a mind reader?

"Okay, thanks. Have a safe drive."

Syaoron gave me a small smile relaxing his serious face. "I will. You be careful yourself too all "Right."

"Bye."

"Bye." I step back and shut the door.

"Wow, seems like you both are a couple already." Tomoyo came from behind me.

"No we're not."

"Sakura, are you blushing? SAKURA! WAIT FOR ME!" I started walking away from her and fast too. I felt a little embarrassed about her witnessing that little talk between me and Syaoron. Sure Syaoron's always spoke nicely towards me and was understanding, but in front of Tomoyo? She must be thinking all sorts of stuff! "SAKURA! MY CAR IS OVER HERE!"

Right. I turned back towards her feeling a little foolish myself. I didn't even know where her car was parked, but I decided to find it myself.

I walked back to her side.

"So Sakura, do you like Syaoron?"

"That came out of no where. Where's your car?"

"Don't try to change the subject."

"I don't know. I mean he's very nice and cool and all, but I don't know."

"Oh, I think you know. Think real hard about it."

"Tomoyo, stop it! And besides, I'm sure he's not exactly over Yuki. They had a history together."

"HAD, now it's yours and his."

"Tomoyo. Stop it. Today is about the ball, not my feelings. Speaking of me, how about you and Eriol? You two have been getting close lately."

"Here's my car." Look at who was trying to change the subject.

"Oh Sakura, you look so kawaii! Wait, I need to pin this here and here, I think I should make it shorter, you might step on the dress and trip. You don't want that to happen now do you?" She asked with a couple of pins in her mouth and pinning the dress around the waist, hem, and uncut sleeves.

"I should not have sleeves on the dress, how about a clear thin strap?" Tomoyo asked adjusting the uncut sleeves.

"Do what ever you want." I replied standing as still as I could.

The dress was indeed a bit too long. Two inches of the end of the dress was on the floor even though I was standing on a stool that was five feet above the ground. The color of the dress was of a light pink color with a little bit of lavender lining the bottom of the dress. Above the chest and across it had the same lavender cloth.

"I guess I need to fix the bottom of the dress to make it better. How long do you want the dress to be?" Tomoyo was on the floor now and folding up the bottom.

"Ankel." I answered getting a bit tired. I've been standing up for almost half an hour.

"Great, you're shoe will be showing then."

"I know, seductive." I laughed at my own stupid joke.

Tomoyo didn't laughed as she kept directing me to do this and that to see if anywhere else need fitting.

"Okay, you can take it off now. I'll get it done by tonight and tomorrow you can come again and wear it."

"Sounds like fun." I "happily" said as I got off the stool and went towards the bathroom to change into my own clothes.

"So, did you guys have fun?" Syaoron asked during dinner.

"You can say talking about the dress was fun." After the day Syaoron asked me to the annual ball, I told him who was going to make my dress for me.

"Sounds like fun." Syaoron repiled before he took in his rice.

"Yeah."

"I wish I was there." I almost choked on my spoon. I looked up only to see him smiling. "You looked funny while you were choking."

"Hey, how can you be so mean! If you keep being mean to me I won't go to the ball with you!" I threatened.

"Okay, I'll be nice." Syaoron continued eating and I did the same thing too.

"Would you like more rice Sakura?" Syaoron interrupted the awkward silence after that little cat fight.

"Yes please." I politely answered. See, if Syaoron was always this nice we would be prefect together. I mean not as in a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend but...oh forget it!

"Would you like more water Sakura?" Syaoron held up my empty cup.

"Sure."

"Would you like me to refill the bowls Sakura?"

"Um...you're getting weird."

"So you don't like it either if I'm not myself." I nodded my head no.

"Good." He sat down again. What was his point?

"Syaoron, what was your point?"

"That if I was nice I'll be boring... and weird."

"But you're not that mean."

"Hey." He put his bowl down and looked at me. "Do you want me to be normal?"

"What's your definition of normal?"

"Sakura, you're impossible. Let's just eat okay?" Syaoron continued eating even without my answer.

"FINE!"
