Reflection
Chapter 14: Mission one: Complete
"A bag of small balloons please." Kodshi said to the shopkeeper. "Here ya go, that'll be a dollar and five cents." The shopkeeper handed Kodshi a bag of balloons as she gave him the money, then we raced out of the store, plan A of revenge was starting.
Now all we needed…was a plot. After we got a ride on a shuttle bus and got back to my apartment, we got out a long piece of paper and began to plan.
"Okay, tomorrow at school somebody will steal the Janitor's keys." Kodshi said thoughtfully. Everybody looks at me. "What?" I asked, clearly hoping it was not what I thought it was…
(A divider)
Great. I'm standing in the middle of the hallway, while my teacher is thinking that I'm in the nurse's office because of a stomachache.
I'm supposed to be stealing the janitor's keys, but just to let you know, there is a teensy-weensy problem…MY FRIENDS DIDN'T TELL ME HOW!
"What are you doing here?" an evil sounding voice suddenly says, as a large hand lands on my shoulder. I jumped about 3 feet, as I pushed the hand off my shoulder. "NOTHING!" I shrieked.
I relaxed as I realize it was just the old janitor, being as strict as ever. "You better be doing nothing," said the Janitor suspiciously as he continued mopping the dirty floor.
What's the point in cleaning the floor at the middle of the day when it's going to get dirty again between classes anyways? I thought to myself.
Suddenly, I remembered the keys. Acting casual, I deliberately shoved him really hard, "HEY!" The janitor yelled, as he fell to the floor. The keys fell onto the damp mop silently.
"Oops, sorry." I pretended, helping him up. He mumbled something under his breath as he reached for his mop again. "WAIT!" I burst out.
The janitor looked at me strangely. "Er…there is…a…er…bug on the mop! Yeah, bug!" I stammered nervously, hoping he would fall for it, "Here! I'll get it for you!" I laughed nervously, snatching the keys and hiding it behind my back, "Got to run!" I called, as I ran back to class.
I burst into history class, as the whole class looks at me. The history teacher adjusts her glasses, "My Ms.Kinomoto…in a hurry?"
The class snickers, while my friends looks up at me worriedly. I gave them a secret thumbs up, that brought their worried frowns away.
Sitting back at my desk, I sigh as the teacher rambles on and on about the origin of cameras, this is going to be a long class…
"WHAT! YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!" Shrieked Kodshi the moment we got to my apartment after school. They were all gaping at me, "Wow! You actually got pass the Janitor!" Rei, Ashiko, and Imako gasped, equally surprised.
"Er…so…back to planning?" I sweat dropped. "Sure!" Imako said. We all turned back to the long piece of planning paper. Kodshi put a check next to 'steal janitor's keys'.
"Okay, so this is what we do. First, Sakura and I will hang up the water balloons in a net at night; we'll open the front doors with the janitor's keys. Then we'll attach a rope to the net. We'll hide the end of the rope in my locker, we could slip it through a crack." Kodshi explained.
We all nodded, so she continued on, "The next day, after we make sure the balloons are DIRECTLY over Natalie's locker, we wait for Syaoran to come walking his girlfriend the her locker."
"If they don't get into the right spot, Imako, Ashiko, or Rei could come out and kinda…you know…push them a little. First Imako does it. If they still don't get it right, Ashiko will come out and pretend to be in a hurry, and cough accidentally push em' a bit more."
"If it still doesn't work…Rei will come out stomach-down on my skateboard, then she will slide unnoticed on the ground, pushing Natalie and/or Syaoran to the ground, hopefully that will be enough, or we'll have to begin the whole pushing process again." Kodshi instructed.
"Lastly, Sakura will be the one holding the rope, and when Syaoran and Natalie both are under the net, Sakura will let go of the rope and the water balloons will go BANG onto their heads!" We all giggled at the thought of two soaking enemies, completely humiliated.
"Okay, don't forget, the REALLY last step is…RUN!" Kodshi finished. We all laughed and fell back onto the soft couch, tomorrow's going to be an unforgettable day.
How right I was.
Syaoran's P.O.V. (Oh…rare!)
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. 'Stupid alarm clock' I thought to myself as I rolled over groaning, getting up reluctantly, I changed into a casual black T-shirt and a pair of jeans, torn at the knees.
Still half awake, I brushed my hair and combed my teeth. (Haha!) I swept a toothbrush through my messy brown hair then stretched, practically dragging myself out the door.
After a quick breakfast of cereal, I slipped on my shoes and some trainers, and then I rushed out the door, grabbing my backpack along the way.
(Still Syaoran's P.O.V.)
The first thing I saw when I got to school was Natalie, her long black hair swaying in the wind. A not so pretty sight if you ask me. She was tapping her foot on the ground impatiently, her arms crossed and an annoyed look on her face.
I covered my ears as I braced for impact, "YOU'RE LATE! WHERE WERE YOU! I WAS WAITING FOR YOU FOR A…a…" Natalie checked her pink wristwatch, "a…WHOLE 5 MINUTES! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF MISTER"?
I shrugged, "Er…that 5 minutes isn't long?" Natalie was red in the face, but she still followed me into the school. I walked Natalie to her locker, although I did not want to.
Natalie was so annoying, I had to shout at her to keep her from blabbering to me, on and on about make-up and shopping and nerds like Sakura…Sakura.
I wonder how's she's doing.
How's she's doing? Bad of course! After what you did to her!
Hey, I thought I got rid of you after you made me chase after Shelby!
Yeah well, I've turned over a new leaf. Now I'm here to make sure you do GOOD things.
Gee. I feel so lucky.
Haha! Er…you should apologize to her!
Hello? Ruin reputation? She's an outcast. I can't apologize to her! It will be gossip for the rest of the school year!
Now, now, think about it. Is your reputation really that important?
Yes.
Sure?
Positive.
Really?
Absolutely.
Promise?
No doubt about it.
Aw, come on. How bout for 5 bucks?
Nope.
A…new T.V.?
Got the best brand already.
…How bout I throw in a cheeseburger?
I'm in.
Normal P.O.V.
Syaoran began drooling at the thought of a cheeseburger, not realizing that he was now right beside Natalie's locker, waiting for her to put her books in.
Suddenly, he felt cold. Must've been the weather changes. Syaoran thought to himself. But no, it was different. He was freezing. Then he saw people laughing and pointing, many people gasped.
Okay, this is definitely not right. What he saw- I mean, heard next was proof. "AIE!" Natalie shrieked. Now Syaoran's slow mind finally caught on, HE WAS SOAKING WET!
The only clue to what had happened was the balloon scraps on the floor, and big words written on the wall, "courtesy of the flowers."
Only one word came to Syaoran's mind: "KINOMOTO! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!" And with that, he stomped of, looking for the guilty girl. Suddenly, he heard some giggles coming from the janitor's closet.
I'm going to end it there.
Readers: NOOO!
Me: Fine, but only because I haven't updated for so long.
Sakura's P.O.V.
It's working…the moment I let go of the rope I jumped in here. I could hear him screaming at me. I giggled loudly. Oops…suddenly, the door was forced open and a soaking Syaoran appeared. His shirt was sticking to his chest showing all of his abs…NO! Bad Sakura, bad, bad Sakura…no thinking nasty thoughts!
Normal P.O.V.
"KINOMOTO!" Was what Syaoran shouted as he stared at Sakura, more exactly, glared.
"HAHA! You deserved it!" Was Sakura's witty reply?
"Nobody pranks Syaoran Li!"
"Well, me and my friends are nobody then!"
"There are consequences!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, I don't see you doing em'!"
"Fine! I'll do it now!"
Syaoran's P.O.V.
One minute I was about to punch her, but the next I was staring at her cherry lips, wondering how they would feel against my own.
I leaned in, closer, closer…
HAHA! CLIFFHANGER! In fact, it is such a cliffhanger; I'm not even going to type a preview! Haha! Guess what happens!
P.S. From now on, my updates are going to be quicker, but I can't promise you that it each chapter will be finished a week.
