Pretty Girl

A/N Hey everyone! I updated this story faster this time! I hope you guys like it cause I thought I'd get a chapter of this out before exams start. And check out my new story that I just posted a few days ago called I Write Sins Not Tragedies based off of the song by Panic at the Disco! Anyways, here's the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS, CLAMP does. I do own this plot but Sugarcult owns the song it's based after.

Recap of chapter 2…

"I don't want to hang out with people, I don't like people," Sakura replied ignorantly. "I'm going to go and get something to drink." Sakura announced and then stood up and walked out of the classroom while putting her headphones back on her ears.

'Okay...' Syaoran thought. 'This could be a little harder than I thought.

Chapter Three: Pretty Soon She'll Figure Out

It had been a week since the detention where she had actually talked to Syaoran Li and Fumihiko Saito. What she didn't understand was, ever since it seems they both had been trying to get detention almost everyday since. Of course she could careless if they were there or not, but they always seemed to start talking to her, which was something she wasn't used to. She doubted they actually wanted to be her friends; she was the school's outcast, the girl that didn't want anything to do with anybody, the girl who was always wearing headphones.

Of course, she knew she probably shouldn't be keeping her headphones on as long as she does, she read somewhere that keeping your headphones on for only an hour can cause about 70 different types of bacteria to form in your ear (A/N It's true I looked it up). But it wasn't like she was actually going to stop wearing headphones because of it.

She sat down in a desk in the detention room and listened to her band of choice for the day. She had finished listening to a song waiting for detention to start.

I'll cut an X over my heart

Blood drips from the corners of the room.
As these walls scream imperfections through
torn flesh and broken bones
Then you'll ask me what have I done
Tell me what haven't you done if
guilty lips are not so innocent

A bullet with your name right through my chest proving love was worth dying for
A bullet with your name right through my chest proving love was worth dying for

Tear those wings right off your back
And innocence is what you lack
and when the trail leads back to me
Apologies are all the same
and this is how we play the game
Show me a new way to bleed

A bullet with your name right through my chest proving love was worth dying for.
A bullet with your name right through my chest proving love was worth dying for.
A bullet with your name right through my chest proving love was worth dying for.
A bullet with your name right through my chest proving love was worth dying for.

The band of the day was A Cuttroat Kiss. They had always been one of her favourites and she was happy she could listen to Cut An X without anyone to bother her.

All of a sudden the door burst open and to her surprise…well not really, Orimoto burst through the door with Li and Saito. She unconsciously tightened her hands into fists, whatever happened to detention being her time? Now they were going to talk to her again.

They took their usual places in the empty seats and Orimoto took his usual spot and started eating his chocolate bar. Right on time he got up to leave, and then they were alone.

Saito walked up to her and she reluctantly took off her headphones. Li followed behind him and stood beside Saito. "And then there were three," Saito said. Sakura and Syaoran just rolled their eyes at him.

"So what did you two do today?" Sakura asked. They had gotten used to her monotone voice. They had come to except that she would only talk in that tone.

"Mrs Wong got mad at us for saying stupid Jew in the hallway," Syaoran said with a sigh.

"Man, I don't get what's so bad about saying that? It's not like I was saying it to an actual Jew." (A/N if there are any Jews reading this story, please don't be offended by this, I don't have any Jewish people where I live so sometimes the guys here joke around by calling each other that, I kind of base the guys personalities in this story by the guys I hang out with. We get in trouble for saying stuff like this at my school, so basically I'm giving their detentions for stuff that we get in trouble for at my school, my friend lost her computer privileges for calling someone a fag…anyways on with the story) Fumihiko complained.

"Because you might offend someone who hears you," Syaoran told him like it was obvious.

"Shut up…" Fumihiko mumbled.

"Don't get yourself on Mrs Wong's bad side, when she gets angry she turns into the hulk with PMS," Sakura said in her usual tone causing the guys to laugh when they realised what she said was true.

"And all this time I thought you didn't make jokes," Syaoran said when his laughing subsided. "You proved me wrong."

"I was being serious, I'm on her bad side from getting in trouble to many times," Sakura replied.

"Serious or not, it sounded like a joke to me," Fumihiko smiled.

"Whatever," Sakura muttered.

"So what are you doing after this Kinomoto?" Syaoran asked.

"I'm going to the dollar store."

"Oh. Why do you need to go there?" Syaoran asked her another question.

"I need more nail polish."

"Oh…that's cool," Fumihiko mumbled.

"Yup," Sakura answered.

Just then, the boys realised Orimoto would be back and got into their seats before he opened the door a minute later.

Syaoran and Fumihiko were walking down the street. They were meeting up with Ritsou, Takashi and Eriol at the end of the street. They reached the end and saw the two of them leaning up against the wall of the building behind them. When they saw the two coming forward they straightened up and waited for them to come up to them.

"So how was detention?" Eriol smirked at them.

Syaoran shrugged, "It was detention."

"How's it going getting close to Kinomoto?" Ritsou asked.

"She actually made a joke about Mrs Wong today, and it was pretty funny," Fumihiko told them.

"I knew she had a good sense of humour, she was my lab partner remember," Takashi told them.

"And all this time I thought she didn't even know what a joke was," Eriol said chuckling.

"Well we've got to go to the dollar store right now," Syaoran told them with a serious look on his face.

"Why?" Ritsou asked with a raised eyebrow. "We never buy anything there."

"Ah, but Kinomoto does. She told us she was going there after detention," Fumihiko answered him.

"Ah another chance to get close to her eh?" Eriol asked. "What? It's not working for you in detention?"

"Well I only get like ten minutes to talk to her in that half hour," Syaoran told him.

"He does have a point guys," Takashi said.

"Alright, let's go to the dollar store," Fumihiko led them down the street.

They arrived to the dollar store five minutes later and walked inside.

"Do you have any idea where she is in here?" Ritsou asked looking at all the aisles.

"She said she needed nail polish," Syaoran told him.

"That kind of stuff is over here," Takashi said gesturing to an aisle making the guys stare at him.

"What?" he asked while they continued to stare at him. "Don't you remember? I used to work here."

"Riight, and then you got fired," Eriol said.

"It's not my fault I tripped and fell into the shelf making the aisle get trashed!" Takashi exclaimed.

"Whatever Tak," Ritsou sighed.

"Anyways, let's go find Kinomoto," Syaoran told them.

They followed Takashi through the store until he stopped in an aisle and they saw Sakura looking at the nail polish.

Syaoran walked up to her, "Hey Kinomoto."

Sakura jumped at the unexpected greeting and pulled her headphones off her ears, for once there wasn't any music playing, her ears were just cold.

"Li," she said, "What are you doing here?"

"Well you said you were going to be here after detention so I thought I'd come by and see you," Syaoran said with a smirk.

"Why?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know, just wanted to," Syaoran shrugged.

"Well you've seen me, so you can go now," Sakura told him.

"What if I don't want to go?" Syaoran asked smirking again.

"Go play with your little friends, the short one needs help with his jokes," Sakura practically ordered him.

"Nah, he's got Ritsou and Eriol to help him with those," Syaoran smiled.

"Whatever," Sakura mumbled and took some black nail polish off the shelf. She shoved it into her purse and walked past him and started heading for the door.

Syaoran followed her out and the guys followed after him as he walked out the door after her.

"Hey!" he yelled.

"What do you want now?" Sakura asked exasperated.

By now, the other boys were standing with Syaoran watching the two talk.

"You just stole that," Syaoran stated.

"Yeah, so?" Sakura said like it was no big deal.

"Why would you steal that?" Syaoran asked again.

"Cause I don't have any money," Sakura said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"But-but still…" Syaoran stuttered. Then after a moment of thinking what he was going to say, he said in a confused tone, "Why would you steal from the dollar store?"

All of a sudden a lady walked past them and said out of nowhere, "Because it's fun." And walked away.

Everyone stared after her for a while until she was out of sight. "Dude, did she just say because it's fun?" Takashi asked.

This made everyone, even Sakura nod and then start laughing.
