PLEASE READ:
Before I get on with the story, I would like thank to Freya Krein! Freya, thanks for critisizing my story! You helped a lot!
Oh and another thing. I've decided to make this story more of Sakura's life of high school, not her love story with Syaoran, so there will be more content, (I hope) like her friend problems, her image issue, her "teen drama". You know, the works. So, expect a fights, arguements, and disagreements with a friend in the (hopefully) next 5 chapters. And again, this is based on a true story, so the main points that happen in this story are what heppened to me. I just twisted it to make it more interesting.
You do realize what this means, right? It means that if nothing big happens to me, then no new chapters. I can't promise anything.
Meiling turned to me and took a deep breath, and asked,
"If I asked Syaoran to the dance, do you think will he say yes?"
Mind racing, I quickly thought of something to say. "I don't actually know, we're not that close. It's not like I can read minds or something. I don't have magic powers." I pretended to look offended.
"Oh. Sorry. I thought you did." Did I just hear scorn?
"Have magic powers??"
"No. I thought you were close with Syaoran. Duh."
Ah... yes. The Meiling- Ending- Word- To- Almost- Every- Sentence. I know, long name.
I suddenly felt quite awkward.
"Oooh, look at the time! My detention ends here... bye Meiling!" I practically flew out the door, if I do say so myself...
Jeez Sakura. That was the oldest excuse to get out of a room, and you're happy. Pathetic.
When I woke up this morning, I felt particular happy for some reason. I woke up early, didn't have a Bad Hair Day, and was even nice to Touya.
I'm kidding about the last part. Snort. Like that's possible.
Holding my stuff, I said a Hi to everyone I knew the name of. I stopped in front of my locker and spun the dial, getting it on the first try, and put my stuff in. What was my first class today again? Ah, Visual Arts. My favourite class of the term. We were painting abstract pictures. Another one of my favourites. Just how many favourites do I have?
"Sakura!" Chiharu's voice entered my mind. "I'm sooo excited!!! Gackt's new single came out today!!! Have you heard it? It's sooo good!!! You have to check it out. Here, I'll tell you the title right now, It's called..." Actually, I forgot the title she said. I wasn't even listening.
Did I mention Chiharu likes Gackt, this ugly (In my opinion) japanese singer ALOT?????
" Hey Cheese! Guess what?" That's my other nickname for her.
"Nothing can be as important as Gackt, who is soooooo hot, but sure, what?"
She never guesses.
"I'm moving to Canada! Next to America! Aren't you excited?" Sure I am...
"Really? I'll never see you again?"
"No."
"Oh, so I WILL see you again."
"No."
"So I won't?"
"No."
"I'll miss you..."
"No you won't."
"Why not?"
"Cause I'm not moving to Canada. That was called Sarcasm, a form of Irony, which is used in the Japanese language, which we are speaking right now, in Japan, Asia, Earth, The Solar System, The Milky Way Galaxy, The World, The Universe ."
"Why did you lie?"
Oh My God. Pretend I can fall down anime style.
"I didn't. It was to get your attention."
"Well you didn't have to say it like that!"
"Oh really. What else could get your attention?"
"Uh... The caf's giving lunch buffet for free? I'm going to have a million bucks? No that won't work since that's kinda next to impossible... "
Oh right. Chiharu likes food. Now don't get my wrong, many people like food... wait scratch that... everyone likes food except for maybe Meiling, but not a lot of people can like food as much as Cheese. Also kind of the reason why her other nickname is a type of food. The other reason is because in grade 7, there was a period of time when I really liked the letter "S" so I added it to the end of every sentence. So now you can imagine, calling Chiharu Chi at the time, and going "Chiis." Of course it sounded like Cheese, so that became her nickname.
Kind of getting off topic. What can I say, my mind likes to wander at a fast speed. Once I went from thinking about bread to cars to clouds to my friends. Don't ask. I think I get it from my dad.
Oh. Bell just rang. Time for class. Weird. I never got to tell Cheese what I wanted to tell her... oh well. I can tell her at recess in the caf.
I walked into class and put my stuff down next to Moyo. Looking up, I gave the teacher my full attention... or not. Some of my attention was on Kingone and Syaoran and Meiling, but you know what I mean. The fullest I could give to the teacher.
We were about halfway through class when I noticed something... um... uh... Curious! That's it! When I noticed something curious. Does that make sense? Hopefully it does. Anyway, Meiling was looking at Syaoran, who was looking back. I know that sounds really normal, but the funny thing was they were at opposite ends of the room!!! It was like you could literally see the line of electricity between their eyes. Their BURNING desire... Sooo funny. I nudged Rika, who looked and found it funny, so of course, she then nudged Toms. Now, Toms did find it funny, but she found something else more funny.
You might be able to guess what it was...
She found the fact that I was the person that found out this exciting new discovery funny. That's right, she found my actions funny.
She looked at me, put her used her had to cover her mouth, and nodded her head, going "Oh ho ho ho." Whispered, of course.
I hate it when she does that, especially to me. The I- Know- Your- Secret laugh.
"What?" I whispered furiously to her.
"Nothing."
Sure. And she's doing the "I- Know- Your- Secret" laugh for fun.
Of course, I know what she was thinking in that little brain of hers... and I'm sure you do too.
I swear, Tomsy like Syaoran. She kept looking at him during the lesson. I have sharp eyes. I can tell. Wiggle eyebrows. But that does not mean I was staring at him all the time!
And that was all that was worth mentioning during the lesson.
The next class I had was English. Don't ask why, we just do...
In this class I sat next to Toms and Takeshi, a friend of Syaoran. He's really perverted, but not in a perverted way. He just has lots of knowledge about... that... you know what I'm talking about.
Halfway through class, again, a note was passed to me from Takeshi. Curious, again, I took it and read it quickly. It said
Hey Saks, what do girls like guys to do for them before they accept them as their boyfriend?
Ooh, does he have a crush on someone?
I wrote back
Oooh, do you like someone?
and passed it to him under our desks. He read it and smiled. Oo-kaay... that was not the reaction that he should've had.
No no no no no, you misunderstood. I'm helping Syaoran get Meiling. I think it's better me than Eriol.
Oh. Of course. I can't imagine Syaoran going to Eriol for help since he is more of a 'brains' person than 'girl' person.
Sweatdrop. That sounded weird.
Tell him to flirt. Not cheesy pickup lines, like "Someone call the police! This girl has stolen my heart!" or "If I could redo the alphabet, I would put "U" and "I" together." or asking "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Because with a face like that you must be an angel." No girl likes those...
Actually on second thought, I'm not that sure about Meiling, but I don't like them. Why don't you ask her instead?
I folded it into a small square like shape, and gave it to Tak. It took him quite some time to unfold it. Tee Hee. I watched as his face turned from understanding to weird to giggle... he giggles? Anyways, then he looked confused, then horrific...
Weird.
I read the piece of paper he passed down to me again.
I can't ask her. She'll go all girly mode on me... and she is hard to talk to... like, "Oh EmGee, I canNOT believe that Miley Cyrus wore a mini bubble dress to the Ocars, doesn't she know that it's totally out?"
Please help me... and Syaoran...
Uuggh. Fine. I am such a kind- hearted person.
Tell him to do what I said, and if it doesn't work her then let me know, somehow.
And, how do you know what Miley Cyrus wore to the Oscars?
I passed it to him. He read it and looked quite happy. He quickly scribbled something on it and passed it to me again. What was there to write after I had already said that? I mean, wrote that?
Thank so much. It's going to be soo much easier with a girl helping us.
I don't want to answer your question.
I laughed at the last sentence. And it was nice of him to say a thank you. No one in our grade ever says that, especially the guys. Since Syaoran didn't really have a chance with her anyway--
Wait...
What did I just do?
I told Syaoran-- okay Takashi, but he's working for Syaoran, how to woo a girl...
That is seriously not good for my love life, though it's not like I have one...
But... this could be fun... seeing Syaoran squirm like a madman, telling him what to do, and best of all, spending more time with him.
Oh well... might as well as make the best of it...
So I wrote back
No prob. I love matchmaking...
Muahahahahahaha. I sound evil.
and gave it to him.
After class, I went to my locker and got my stuff ready for my next class and brought it downstairs to the caf where we have recess. What I do everyday. Uggh. I am so hungry today.
I got in line and bought a cookie, those double chocolate ones that make you so fat, but also the ones that I am addicted to. I took a bite. MMMMMmmmmm, chocolatey bliss. And then another. Then another. And then--
You get the picture.
Man, what class do I have next?
G Block, Math. Damn. I am soo not in the mood to listen to some fat teacher lecture us on how to find the whatchamicallit of a number.. ahem... I meant, numeral. Note the Sarcasm. Yawn.
I sighed. But what choice do I have? I can't say that I am a goody goody two shoes, but I really don't like detention, lunch duty, some sort of punishment for skipping class, and ect. Partially because there isn't anyplace fun around my school and the only form of transportation here is driving and walking, which I a) can't do yet and b) don't know where to walk to. So if I do try to skip a class, a teacher or someone will eventually see me.
That's not considered goody goody two shoes, right? RIGHT?
Okay, so here I am, eating a double chocolate cookie and drinking a Happy Planet when Takashi comes up. So, being the nice person I am, I say, "Hey Tak! What's up?"
Now, when I say that, I expect to get a "Not much, you?" back. But it seems like today Takashi was mad at me...
Wait. I was supposed to explain something to Syaoran today, wasn't I?
I see you nodding your head, so that it obviously a yes. Thank you.
"I was supposed to do something for you, wasn't I?" I asked in a small voice.
"Yes."
"Would that something have something to do with Syaoran and Meiling?"
"Yes."
"Something like, explaining?"
"Yes."
"Do you say any other words than yes?"
"Yes."
HA! I laughed in his face...
until the bell went. Crap. I'm gonna be in trouble...
Tak and Syaoran are in my math class, in case you were wondering why I was saying crap.
Okay, so here I am, sitting in the back of the classroom in Math, trying to keep my eyes open. Yawn. I shouldn't of watched anime last night until 12:30 AM. Can't... keep... my... eyes... open...
Now, you may be wondering why I am sleeping in Math, and not Visual Arts. Well, in visual, you have to move around a lot, so you don't have time to close your eyes. In Math, you just sit there trying to learn some stuff from some boring old fart with a beer belly. And in English, I was passing notes with Tak, and that was much more interesting than this, so I didn't fall asleep.
Yawn. God I am so tired.
Yawn. Is there someone else in this class that is yawning? 'Cause I don't normally yawn as much as this.
Yawn. There is definetely someone else yawning.
Ya-- Wait. Did I just get poked?
Ow. Yes.
I picked up my very heavy head and turned around to look for my attacker. It was Tak.
"What?" I hissed at him while closing my eyes.
"You have to tell Syaoran something for me, Remember, Saks?"
" Oh that's right." I tapped Syaoran's desk, which was beside mine, only with a pathway in between, to get his attention.
"Syao. According to this guy here, I'm supposed to tell you something." I whispered to him.
No response. Damn him! He didn't hear me. Deaf earless guy.
I turned back to Tak. "I can't tell him. He can't hear me. Bye." I turning around and laid my head on my desk. Thankfully, he didn't talk to me again.
After class, I walked to my locker to grab my science textbook, which was my next class. Takeshi came up.
"You have to tell him now."
"Fine. Find him first." I answered easily, shifting the papers in my locker, wondering if my textbook would be under there.
"There he is. Talking to Meiling."
To that, my attenion was drawn to Tak. "Talking to Meiling? Then he hardly needs my help. He's doing fine by himself."
Underneath, I was secretly wishing that I was the girl he was talking to. The one that held 100 of his attention.
I turned back to my locker. Ah, there was my textbook! I grabbed it and said to Takeshi, "You'd better your textbook. Class is in about 1 minute", and walked away towards the direction of the science lab.
