Pretty Girl

A/N Hey everyone I'm back with the next chapter. I just finished up exams for this semester so I've got the whole week off! Now some of you have been saying that it's weird having Sakura as the punk/goth chick but you see, that's the personality I thought the girl in the song had so that was how I made her. Besides I think she has excellent taste in music because it's the kind of stuff I listen too. Plus her personality is kind of like mine except I've got more friends lol. Anyways I hope you like this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS, CLAMP does. I do own this plot but the song it is based off of belongs to Sugarcult.

Recap of chapter 3…

"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.

Chapter 4: What His Intensions Were About

Syaoran was with his gym class on the sliding hill. Since it was nearing the end of the semester and they had already taken their exam, his gym teacher, Verg, had decided they would all go sliding for the period. He only had this class with Fumihiko and Takashi. Eriol and Ritsou had English at this time.

Syaoran was having fun but he was freezing because the snow was making his pants wet. He felt stupid how his pants were soaked and he had to walk around in wet pants all day, but at least he probably wasn't the only one. The hill they were going to had a snow machine that made snow kept it on it all year long even though there was no snow in town.

They were now back at the school and everyone was getting dismissed for lunch. Syaoran walked out of the gym where they had to go after they got back to school because Verg wanted to make sure everyone came back, he saw Sakura just closing her locker. She was obviously on her way out to lunch.

He walked up to her locker and leaned against the one beside it and smiled at her when she looked over.

"What do you want?" she asked in a rude tone. She was saying that because she was hungry and wanted him to go so she could eat.

"What do you want?" Syaoran copied her.

"Nothing," Sakura sighed.

"My pants are wet," Syaoran whined.

Sakura raised her eyebrow at him and asked, "Why?"

"Sliding," Syaoran answered.

"I hate sliding," Sakura said with a frown.

"Are you kidding me?" Syaoran asked outraged. "I love sliding, you know, it's fun for all ages."

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Sakura asked pointing to her face.

Syaoran pretended to study her face before saying, "I can't believe you don't like sliding." He started to shake his head in disappointment.

Sakura just rolled her eyes and was about to say something when Fumihiko walked out of the gym and walked up to them.

"Hey Syaoran are you coming? It's lunch time," he then looked at who Syaoran was talking to and smiled, "Hey Kinomoto."

Sakura looked at him, then at what he was wearing. He was wearing a big puffy winter jacket. "Nice jacket," she said.

Fumihiko smiled, "I know eh? I like cause it makes me look muscular," he then started to make poses with his arms because the puffiness in the jacket made him look a lot more muscular than he really was. The he frowned and continued with a sad face, "But fat…" he stopped making poses and sagged his shoulders.

"Yeah, I hate to say it, but it makes you look really fat," Syaoran sighed.

"You know, it's bad enough I know it does, but you don't have to tell me that too you know!" Fumihiko glared.

"Than why did you wear it?" Syaoran asked with a raised eyebrow.

"My mom made me!"

"Oh of course, you always do what my mommy says," Syaoran said sarcastically.

"It was either wear it, or freeze," Fumihiko said crossing his arms.

"I would have chosen freeze," Syaoran said.

"Yeah, well I'm not you," Fumihiko said.

"Yeah, if you were me, you'd be about seven inches taller," Syaoran said with a smirk.

"You know what?" Fumihiko said raising a finger and pointing it at Syaoran, "I'm hungry, let's go eat!"

"Fine," Syaoran sighed. "See you later Kinomoto."

Sakura just waved as she headed off to lunch. She didn't understand why he was all of a sudden so interested in talking to her.

"You know what?" Fumihiko asked while all the guys were sitting around eating and talking. "I think Kinomoto likes me."

Eriol stopped eating his food for a second and asked, "What makes you think that?"

Fumihiko shrugged, "Just a feeling, the way she acts around me."

"She thinks you're lame," Syaoran stated not even looking up at them while he continued to eat his lunch.

"What? How do you know that?" Fumihiko asked wide-eyed.

"She told me, she said you have to work on your jokes."

Hearing this caused all the guys to laugh but Fumihiko.

"Oh what does she know? She's the Goth chick around school. I bet she doesn't even know what a joke is!" Fumihiko said angrily.

"Oh believe me dude," Ritsou said patting him on his back, "they do need work."

"Everyone's against me these days I swear," Fumihiko grumbled.

"Yeah, but don't worry about it, one of these days we'll get bored of it," Takashi grinned.

"Really?" Fumihiko questioned.

"No, he lied," Ritsou smirked. Fumihiko glared at him and went back to his lunch.

"I have to think of a way to get detention again today…" Syaoran sighed. "How does Kinomoto do it all year? This is hard!"

"She's an expert man, that's all there is too it," Eriol patted him on the back. "And do you really have to get detention everyday to get close to her? You could just hang around school until she gets out of detention."

"Yeah but…" Syaoran stopped to think of something wrong with what he said, "that's actually a good idea."

"Of course it is," Eriol, said smugly "I thought of it."

"Anyone got a ruler?" Takashi asked.

"Why?" Ritsou asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I want to see how much bigger his head got," Takashi stated as he went up to Eriol's face staring at it intently.

When Eriol noticed this he glared, "Will you stop that!"

"I'd say it got an inch bigger," Takashi said looking away.

You soul sucker

I won't become like you

Sakura was happy. This was the first time in weeks Li and Sato weren't in detention with her, which meant she was able to listen to her music in peace today. She was especially happy because one of her favourite bands was what she was listening to, Atreyu. She loved their song Bleeding Mascara.

She was just finishing up her song when Orimoto started speaking to her, so to be polite, she took off her headphones reluctantly.

"So it's just us again today eh Ms Kinomoto?" he spoke conversationally.

"Uhm, yeah it appears so…" Sakura spoke.

"Strange, I thought Mr. Li and Mr. Sato would have joined us today. I was getting used to having them around."

"It doesn't make much difference to me Mr. Orimoto," Sakura said indignantly.

"I thought it wouldn't have," Orimoto said dryly.

Sakura just shrugged at his response. It was quiet until Orimoto spoke again.

"Kinomoto, you're a pretty girl, why do you let your self be considered a loner?" Orimoto asked walking up to her desk she was sitting at.

"Excuse me?" Sakura asked confused.

"You don't interact with the other students, why?"

"Because that's the way I choose to be," Sakura answered angry that he would question her choices.

"You know you may not be considered into a college you want because of your choice to not have friends."

"What?" Sakura asked.

"Half the whole recommendation process is if we think you'll be able to socialize with other students," Orimoto stated.

"Who said I even wanted to go to college?"

"You do, don't you?" Orimoto questioned. "Your brother went. Don't you want to get out like he did?"

"What my onii-chan does and what I do is none or your business. If I want to spend the rest of my life working at the local Diary Queen, I will," Sakura said clenching her fists.

"But you could have so much more. You're a smart girl and could do so much better if you tried."

"I don't care if you think I could do better! It's my life and I'll act the way I want!" Sakura finally snapped. "Now if you'll excuse me, my time is up for the day. See you tomorrow."

Sakura walked out of the classroom and to her locker. She couldn't believe he had the nerve to tell her to change the way she was. It wasn't her fault she didn't like people. In her opinion, people suck.

Angrily pulled everything out of her locker and into her packsack. She was mumbling incoherent things under her breath and was startled when she heard a voice.

"Whoa there. Calm down before you blow a fuse," Syaoran said standing beside her.

"Why are you still here?" Sakura mumbled.

"I was waiting for you to get out of class," Syaoran said breezily.

"Why would you do that?" Sakura asked.

"Well I didn't get detention today so I thought I'd see you when you got out."

"Why do you all of a sudden want to spend time with me? What are your intentions Syaoran Li?"

Syaoran froze thinking how he was going to get out of this one, "Well, I want us to become friends."

"You already have friends," Sakura stated.

"Awe yes, but I want US to be friends," Syaoran stated stressing the word us.

"There's nothing special about me to be friends with," Sakura said blankly.

"But I find you interesting," Syaoran said.

"Whatever," Sakura said rolling her eyes and walking away.

"Hey! Wait! Where are you going?" Syaoran asked catching up with her.

"Home."

"Why?"

"Because I gotta maw the lawn," Sakura said heaving a huge sigh of disappointment.

"You're parents make you maw the lawn? But you're a girl! It's a mans job," Syaoran stated.

"Yeah well my brother's away at school and my dad won't be home 'til late so I've got to maw it."

"That sucks," Syaoran sighed.

"Tell me about," Sakura sighed.

Everything was quiet for a while until Sakura spoke again, "I wish my lawn was emo because than it would cut itself."

Syaoran was quiet until he got what she said and started laughing. "You can make jokes!"

Sakura just smiled and continued walking.
