Chapter 4: I love you. Not.
Syaoran inched closer… and closer… and closer…
He's really cute, Sakura thought, her heart racing rapidly as Syaoran closed both of his eyes. In the millionth portion of a second, Fa-Fa screeched, "BROTHER!"
Syaoran froze, turned around abruptly, annoyed by the ugly sound. Then, backing away from Sakura, he walked dazedly inside, leaving her thinking. "What the hell do you want?"
Fa-Fa whispered something in Syaoran's ear. He raised his eyebrow at the words, and pushed her away violently. "You're kidding, right?" Fa-Fa snorted as she shook her head, and jogged at Sakura's way.
Sakura whirled to see the twin, her face red. "Um… Fa… Fa-Fa… T-that wasn't h-how, h-how it looked like. I d-don't k-know what happened… It just—happened, I guess. I k-know that I'm not m-making any sense h-here, but…"
Fa-Fa nodded in sympathy. "Don't worry, you're not the first. Xiao-Lang has had many girlfriends. He always kissed them first and leave them in a confused, yet dazed state."
"How do you know?" Sakura asked, alarmed.
"He always mentions it. What was the name of his first girlfriend? Nicole? Natalie? Natasha? Oh, hold on, yes… it was, um, Nicki. He said he kissed her on the bench one day in the park because he felt like it, and then he left in the middle of it, leaving the girl confused. One day later she asked him out, and he turned it down. Then two months later they went to school together and he always walked her home." Fa-Fa shook her head in disapproval. "Some kid."
Sakura nodded. Nicki? Many girlfriends? Many he wasn't kidding about being the boy of every girl's dreams… but kissing the girl first because he felt like it is mean! Of course, the "hot" soccer captain doesn't like me! I don't like him either! But… did he feel like it when we were about to kiss? Guess I'll just have to ask him. He almost cost me my first!
"Sakura?" a finger tapped lightly Sakura on the shoulder.
Sakura whirled around, swimming in a sea of gentle amber. "Syaoran? Back so soon? What's up?"
Syaoran cleared his throat, blushed, and sweat-dropped. "I just had a talk with Mother. Apparently you can stay as long as you like, but you must not tell anyone who I really am."
Sakura sneered, "and if I do?" she only meant to tease, but it sounded very convincing.
"Um, she'll kill you." Syaoran shrugged as Sakura gulped. He turned away and walked inside the mansion. "Hey, wait up!" Sakura shouted. Turning to Fa-Fa, she received a confident smile.
"What is it, Kino-Kino?" Syaoran smirked while walking into the kitchen, grabbing a cold soda from the fridge.
"Yeah. Um, about that thing we had back there," Sakura pointed toward the unfinished brick wall, "What was that?"
Syaoran stared at Sakura for a long time before finally deciding to answer, "What?"
Jerk. Sakura thought. "You were about to kiss me."
Syaoran stared at her again, blinking. "Oh, that!" He scoffed, "Well."
"Well what?"
Syaoran pulled open the can-trigger (WHAT IS IT CALLED?), and drank from it for about half a minute. He turned around, suddenly serious, and leaned forward to greet Sakura's ear. "I love you."
Sakura raised her eyebrow in surprise. "Y-you love me?"
Syaoran nodded half-playfully. Then, not being able to stick to his act, he sniggered. "Not."
Sakura grunted. "Well, Mr. Li," she started business-likely, "thank you for making a fool out of me. I will resign to my room now, if you will kindly tell me where it is, and I will not be seeing you until the first day of school at Hi-K. Otherwise I will explode and kill you gladly if you ever come cross my face."
Amusement clambered up in Syaoran's face. "You sleep in the kitchen, Ungrateful Child."
Sakura stared. "Alright. First door to your right on the third floor."
"Thank you very much," Sakura said indignantly, and then she walked out of the door in the kitchen towards the large black gate.
"Where you going?" Syaoran asked casually while gulping his can of Coca-Cola.
"To McDonald's." Sakura retorted.
"For what?" Syaoran asked curiously. "I thought the thing between you and the waiter was over. I mean, I already paid him. Besides, we made fun of him too."
"No, no that!" Sakura cried impatiently. "I'm going to get a stupid job at that place so I can stupid stop seeing you every single, intolerable day! Besides, what will the girls at Hi-K think of me when they knew I was living with you?"
"Lucky." Syaoran shrugged, and flashed her a charming smirk. Sakura snorted loudly, and banged the kitchen door.
Almost five days had passed without Sakura ever seeing Syaoran. 118 hours, to be exact. She had come found her room quite pleasant. It was decorated with the most radiant shade of green, mixed with amber patterns that reminded her deeply of the boy next room. It had a twin bed and two study tables. One with a dictionary and some blank Spiral and Composition notebooks on it; the other had on a small, handy laptop, a high-quality printer, and an expensive scanner. Everything was orderly and comforting. There was a digital radio clock on the nightstand, and above her bed, which was filed with cherry-pink sheets with a red heart on the pillows, stood several books that Sakura brought with her that she intended to read every night. They include, How to Play Chess Like a Master, Chess—the Ultimate Weapons to Use in Tournaments, Chess History, The Secret Moves of Chess, and An Orphan's Guidebook to Love for VERY STUPID dummies.
Morning arose quietly. The suns hid behind night clouds until the first radiant shine of sunlight filmed through the orphan's window, painting an exact reflect on the floor. Sakura yarned. Flapping her eyelashes violently, she opened her dreary eyes to greet the world as a new day begins.
Today is a special day.
It's the first day of school at the Hi-K.
Today she will be seeing that messy-haired, amber-eyed boy for a third time, and hopefully see what he's really worth to the girls.
Nervously, Sakura rushed off her bed, brushed her teeth and washed her face in a hurry, combed her hair just the way she always does it, and slipped in her uniform. It consisted of a navy-blue jacket with a gold pin of initials (SK) pinned to the right and a white shirt and a red tie tucked into a red plaid skirt that's five inches above the knee.
Sakura smiled at herself in the mirror, not noticing that her door was open and in walked a boy with messier chestnut hair than ever.
"Lookin' good!" Syaoran complimented. He was in his shorts and had on a white T-shirt. A toothbrush stuck in between his mouth, and a cup of water in his hand.
Sakura turned around, surprised to see Syaoran so early in the morning. She pursed her lips, "What the freakin' hell are you doing here?"
"Me? Just checking if 'the girl I'm living with is cute," Syaoran smirked, acting perverted.
Sakura shook her head. "You're a skinny, pathetic little man," and walked past him, bumping him hard on the shoulder, and down to the breakfast room. In a hurry, she packed her books into a backpack, said goodbye to the four twins, and skated toward the school's direction.
Syaoran stood in Sakura's doorway, his whole body in shock. "I'm none of those things that you just said about me!" he yelled helplessly. "Interesting… is she predicting the future me?" Syaoran thought clueless. "No. Of course not." He shook his head violently, and headed for his room next door.

Arriving at the Hi-K was a different feeling. Sakura could feel the majesty of the building from first glance, and walked toward the chess department confidently. Syaoran entered minutes after Sakura, taking the breath of every girl on campus. He sneered and waved at them flirtingly, then, walking towards a girl with soft, curly brown hair, he asked, "Seen the new girl yet? She was our hottest topic last year, and I think she was just here minutes ago."
The girl, Chiharu, shook her head. "No. I guess not. But I heard that she's pretty."
Syaoran laughed. "She is pretty. Actually, very pretty." He said, remembering. "And attractive." The soccer captain added.
Chiharu nodded approvingly.
"But truth is, she really is a stupid klutz."
A finger tapped on Syaoran's shoulder. "You were talking about me?"
The playboy sweat-dropped fearfully. Emerald eyes glared at him.
