Okay, I actually started this chapter as soon as I finished the last one, because I want to get as much of it done as possible and not put it off. But I'm going to take my time putting up chapters because I get more hits and reviews if I wait a couple days in between each chapter. I hope you guys like this one! Remember, I'm trying to put in a twist to the normal plot. Hopefully it's an interesting one. So please read and review, even if you flame me. I don't mind; just make it constructive criticism so I can improve. Thanks for being awesome readers, guys!

Sakura walked away from Syaoran feeling giddy. Not only did she now have a boyfriend, but she was beautiful and popular! Even if her boyfriend wasn't real and the popularity was extremely superficial, it was still a very enjoyable feeling. Tomoyo, eat your heart out, she thought.

She looked down suddenly.

"Oh, crud," she said, realizing that she had forgotten her chemistry book at school. She ran back into the school, grabbed the book out of her locker and bolted back out. She ran back a little ways, but was quickly out of breath.

"There's a reason I'm only a sprinter," she gasped, clutching her side as she stopped to catch her breath. She looked down the hill and saw something strange. Syaoran was standing at the base of a tree, apparently talking to something. Then Tomoyo suddenly slithered out of the tree. He was talking to her! Sakura was outraged. She watched the meeting silently. When Tomoyo left, she saw how Syaoran watched her go. Sakura couldn't help but feel a little pang of jealousy.

"First she humiliates me, and now she's going to try to steal my boyfriend? Oh, I don't think so!" Sakura muttered under her breath. She turned on her heel and stormed off.

The next day at school, Sakura and Syaoran were again mobbed by mostly girls who wanted to glimpse their remarkable transformations and give them the fifth degree. Tomoyo, however, showed up looking like peaches and cream in her lovely light pink dress with white accents. She walked coyly past the two without a second glance in their direction and straight to her locker, nabbing Rika in the process.

"Hey, Rika, what's up? Hey, I'm sorry about that outburst that I had at your house. So would you mind taking Sakura to a movie for me on Friday night? I'd ask her, but I don't think she wants to talk to me right now. I'll give you money and everything, okay? Anyway, what homework did we have in chemistry?" Tomoyo was a very fast talker. Rika had trouble processing it all so fast, so she just smiled, nodded, and gave Tomoyo the assignment. She walked away with her head spinning slightly.

"Perfect." Tomoyo smiled to herself. This was going well.

Later on, Tomoyo walked into her English class and looked around. She appeared to be very sad and lonely again, so Syaoran, feeling bad, offered her the seat next to him. After all, Sakura wasn't in this class, so what was the harm?

"Syaoran, I just want to apologize for yesterday. I shouldn't have told you all that just to make myself feel better. I don't want you to feel obliged to be nice to me or anything like that. You can ignore me if you want. I won't be offended," she said, looking meekly at her hands.

"Oh, no, it's fine. You're a nice girl, Tomoyo. I don't mind hanging out with you every now and then," Syaoran said. After all, he's a nice guy.

"Really? What are you doing Friday night? Will you go to a movie with me? Please? You're so nice, Syaoran! Thank you! I'll meet you at the theatre at seven!"

Okay, I know this chapter is unusually short for me, but I didn't have a whole lot of ideas and this chapter is just sort of setting up the next one better. I have some pretty good ideas for the next one, and I wanted to get this one up ASAP, unlike the last one. Anyway, I hope you all like it, and please review! I don't even mind flames. I haven't gotten any so far on this story, but it's still fairly new. Thanks to all of my return readers! I really appreciate you guys. Actually, I appreciate anyone who reviews. I didn't get as many as I would have liked last chapter...please review more this chapter!
