"Hey, Sakura! Good morning." Greeted the ever-so-jolly Tomoyo. She always cheered Sakura up but today, it seemed that Tomoyo's charms just aren't working.
"Hi, Tomoyo." Sakura greeted glumly. She's not exactly Ms. Sunshine in her usual days but she's extra glum today.
"What's the matter? You look terrible."
"I know. I feel terrible, too. I don't know why." Sakura lied. This was one of her talents. Lying. Of course, nobody knew that. It probably has something to do with Syaoran's return. Ugh. Why couldn't he just stay wherever he was? Coming here and making my life more complicated. And not to say more miserable... Wait. Why am I miserable because of him? Why should I be? Sakura was lost in her deep thoughts as she walked to her classroom. She took a seat and Tomoyo took hers, beside her this time.
Sakura started doodling on her notebook random stuff while waiting for the bell.
Sakura's POV...
Rainbow... What are the colors of the rainbow? ROYGBIV. There. Now I have a rainbow in my notebook, it'll be with me wherever I go. This is pathetic. I'm sure I can do better. I'll draw a rainbow with clouds... Right. And then... What's this? A paper bag dropped on my desk. Somebody gave me present. How nice of that person. I better be good to him or her. Who is it, anyway? Let's look up now, Sakura. Put on a sweet smile and thank the person. In one, two and three.
Oh, it's Syaoran Li.
Syaoran gave me a present? Why? I stare at him-sure that I'm looking like an idiot-to make sure that my eyes don't decieve me.
"Am I really that handsome?" he said in his arrogant voice. Arrogant yet seductive voice. WHAT THE HELL. No. It's arrogant. Plain arrogant.
"Pshh... Don't kid yourself. Why are you giving me a gift anyway? It's not my birthday." I said, but then I wasn't so sure so I tried to remember the date today... Nope. It's not my birthday.
"And you say I'm kidding myself? It's not a gift. Those are your dirty clothes from last night." he said quite loudly. Everyone then stopped and looked at us. More like looked at me. Why are they staring at me with those looks on their faces?
"You gave me quite a hard time last night. You were so loud I had to apologize to the neighbors." he continued with a smirk on his face. What was he smirking at? And what was he talking about?
Syaoran's POV...
You're dead now... This is my revenge for making me carry you on my back!
"My whole body hurts like hell right now! You were quite something." I said in a voice a bit louder than necessary. I bet everyone's curious now. She still have this look on her face, though. She's still doesn't know what I'm doing.
"I think you owe me a new bed, though. My bed's legs look like they're going to give out. You monster, you." I said then examined her face. She's still confused.
"Anyway, last night was really something. I would never forget that." I said with a smile then walked away. All the other heads turned around to gossip the same time I turned to walk away. This should be enough to arise a few complications for her. Li Syaoran's 'Mission: Get My Revenge on Sakura Kinomoto for Making Me Carry Her on My Back' fulfilled!
Sakura's POV...
Syaoran walked away and I still don't know what he was talking about. His bed? Wait... WHAT? NO WAY! NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED!
I hear different voices talking about me and eyes looking at me.
"Oh... She's so sly! I didn't know she was like that!" some voices said
"Did she seduce him? How could he end up with her?" a girl from a corner said
"No, no! Do you smell paper bag he gave her? Her clothes from last night are there and I smell alcohol! I think he got her drunk first then had his way with her!" another voice replied
"No! He wouldn't do that!"
"How could he do that?"
"Did you even see her face as he talked? She looked clueless! I bet she blacked out!" the different voices said, then looked at me.
"IT'S NOT TRUE! NOTHING HAPPENED!" I shouted. Damn that Syaoran... He's gonna pay for this. How could he?
A girl I was classmates in my freshman college year approached me. I think her name is Suki. "It's okay, Sakura. We'll all have to try it sometime, right? There's nothing to be ashamed of." she said trying to SOOTHE me. How could she think of me like that?
"I SAID IT'S NOT TRUE!" I shouted then walked out. I saw Tomoyo thinking of what to do as I stormed out of the room. I feel really bad for her. I bet she's very confused and worried right now.
Where is that jerk? Why is he doing this to me? Ugh... I hate him. Ah! There he is! How can he still be sitting on the swing after doing that to me?
"Hey, jerk!" I shouted as I marched to his place
"Hey, Sakura. Wassup?" he said, still with a big grin on his face.
"What's up? People think that you and I did you-know-what last night all thanks to you!" I shouted. I swear if I lacked even an ounce of patience I would have choked him to death.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't play dumb with me. You were saying something about me being loud and you never forgetting about last night. Do you want to get expelled?"
"Oh, that. Haha. All I said was true." he said laughing to himself. How could he say that?
"What do you mean all of it was true? NOTHING happened. We didn't do anything like that!"
"What are you talking about?"
"What?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying."
"What? You were implying thay we did IT last night. Now you don't know what I'm talking about?"
"For your information, I wasn't implying anything."
"What do youo mean?"
Syaoran's POV...
"Haha.. I think you got it all wrong. I never tried to imply anything." I said with an innoccent look on my face.
Well, actually I did. It's all part of my revenge but I'm not telling you that.
"Oh really? Then explain to me everything you said earlier." She said still clearly pissed
"Sure. When I said that you gave me a hard time, it's true. I had to carry you on my back up the stairs until the 6th floor. Try that then tell me it isn't hard. And you were loud. Very loud, actually. I couldn't even sleep. Your snoring kept me up all night. My whole body does hurt, even right now, after carrying you and taking care of you and stuff. And I really do think that I need a new bed... You're so heavy it's giving out after you used it for a night!" I 'explained'. Of course I've thought of this before. The perfect things to say to her and the perfect explanation to go along with it, in case she confronts me. And I was right, she did come to me. I guess I hadn't completely forgotten everything about her.
"Oh." was all she said. It looks like she's still processing everything, but I'm pretty positive that she's just doing that because she's embarrassed. "But everyone thinks that..." she didn't finish the sentence.
"Don't worry about them, it's none of their business anyway. Wait, why am I giving you advice? Nevermind, I don't really care." I said then rocked the swing. She started to walk away.
"Hey, wait a minute." I said, "Why did you even think of THAT? Hmm... Your head is filled with dirty thoughts..." I said, jokingly and with a smile on my face.
Sakura's POV...
"Your head is filled with dirty thoughts..."
What? He's such a jerk. I'm already embarrassed as it is! Jerk. I hope you fall on that swing! Then I marched to him and kicked the seat of the swing making him fall on the ground.
"JERK!" I said then went back to class. I hope it hurt him.
Syaoran's POV...
"JERK!" she suddenly shouteed kicked the swing I was sitting on, the next thing I know... I'm on the ground! I forgot she had such a temper. I really missed that about her... But I still don't think that I made the wrong decision in leaving her.
I guess I am a jerk for leaving her like that, on her birthday. It could have been done before that or the day after to make it hurt her less but even so... Even if it did make her go through all that pain, even if it did hurt her a lot, I still don't regret that decision. How could I, when it means avoiding hell? Hell for all of us? Besides, pain was a very small price to pay for what I got in return. My pain, at least.
I hurried to class as soon as I heard the bell ring. It was a good thing the teacher was always late. I saw Sakura in the room, looking quite pissed at all the people gossipping about us. Well, her, mostly. I sat on my chair, 2 chairs behind her. I was at the last row of the last column, now. I waited patiently, I think, for the teacher to come but it's been 5 minutes. I decided to do an advanced reading on our lesson for tomorrow, instead. It's always good to be ahead. While I was trying to remember what Jacobs Syndrome and Kleinfelter Syndrome are from my high school biology days, I see a sky blue box with blue ribbons with glitters on my desk. I look up. It's Meiling.
"Hey Syaoran! I missed you!" she said then gave me a tight hug.
I haven't seen Meiling in a month. What is she doing here?
END OF THE CHAPTER
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't uploaded this chapter until now... I've been really busy with school! But it's our summer vacation now, so I expect that I will be able to update more. Anyways, how's this chappie? I hope it doesn't suck much. Hehe.. Please review! You can leave comments on what you think about the characters and the plot. I'm really trying to update as much as I can, but I don't want to update a few pages and little scenes in a lot of chapters so, I'm going for longer, and maybe fewer, chapters. That's all, please don't forget to review!
Flashback...
Syaoran is on his way home from school, it was a cold night and he was in a hurry. He looked at his watch.
Oh shoot... I'm late. I hope she's not too upset. He thought. He ran faster and finally reached his destination. He stopped in front of a classy restaurant. He looked at the big glass window before he entered. He saw a beautiful girl sitting quite impatiently alone on a table for two and a cake with 17 candles lit on it.
She's still here. He thought, then entered.
"Meiling. Sorry I'm late." He said apologetically. "Happy birthday." He added with a smile.
"It's okay. I didn't wait long." She answered with a bright grin on her face. Syaoran gave her a peck on her cheek and sat down.
"Really? The candles are already small. You must have waited for a long time."
"It's okay, really. All that matters is that you're here. I love you."
