Pretty Girl
A/N okay so I have finally written the sixth chapter to this fic. I'm really sorry it's taken a while but I've been meaning to type it up for a while but I kinda got suspended before the March Break and was in lots of trouble…my teacher seems to think I have the worst attitude problem in the whole class and all I have to say back is he's nothing but a dick! And also I couldn't update cause there's been soe problems with my computer and Internet.
daisuski-jade-blossoms: I can't really tell you when Sakura will become Syaoran's friend but I can say it'll happen soon hopefully.
xxkrn-luvspellxx: Yeah I liked the idea of her not being prep 'cause no offence if I do have preps reading this, but I don't really like them that much. I can say for sure I am not a prep, I fit more into the emo kids category…and it's not that I have anything against preps but the ones in my school I just don't like.
VcChick: don't worry she'll notice things are moving too fast ;)
PinkAzn: I know isn't she emo? (: Her personality is based off of me a lot…except I'm more social…and I don't speak in monotones unless I'm bored…or tired
Disclaimer: I do not own CCS, CLAMP does. The song this fic is based off of belongs to Sugarcult. I do own this plot though, and my love for Sugarcult…man writing these disclaimers gets annoying.
Recap of chapter 5…
"Do you think Orimoto died on the toilet or something?" Sakura asked noticing that their supervisor hadn't returned yet.
"Maybe," Syaoran shrugged. "Or maybe he had a date and ditched us."
"Okay, I don't even want to picture Orimoto going on a date that's just gross," Sakura made a face when she said that.
"Hey there's someone out there for everyone," Syaoran told her. "Even someone for the both of us."
Chapter 6: For Falling Again
They sat there staring into each other's eyes for little bit before Sakura broke the contact and turned away.
"I guess that's true," she looked towards the door.
"Did I say something wrong?" Syaoran asked curiously.
"No, it's nothing," Sakura answered quickly.
"You know, you're different from what I always thought you were," Syaoran put his elbow up on his desk and placed his head on his hand leaning on it.
"What do you mean?" curiosity consumed her voice. She really wanted to know what Syaoran had thought of her.
"I always thought you were some loner that just loved getting in trouble. I never thought you could ever make jokes or anything, you always seemed so serious."
"There's more than meets the eye Li," she replied.
"Why do you do it than?" he asked.
"Do what?" she asked confused.
"Try to get detention everyday," Syaoran replied.
"Something to do," Sakura shrugged.
"There's got to be more to it than that," Syaoran raised an eyebrow at her.
"Why should I tell you?" Sakura yelled starting to get annoyed. "We're not even friends!"
"I told you I wanted to be friends with you," he tried to keep calm after her outburst.
"I don't need friends and I don't want friends," she snapped at him. She started to glare at him and finally Syaoran started to get mad.
"What's wrong with you?" he exploded. "Just a minute ago we were having a nice conversation and you were happy, you got to talk about your music to someone and you didn't seem like such an ice queen, but now you're biting my head off for no reason at all! I just asked you a question!"
Sakura stared wide-eyed at him. In all the years she had gone to this school and seen him from afar with his friends, she had never heard him yell or get angry like that. She recovered from her shock and yelled back, "Maybe I just don't like people getting into my business!"
"That's all you had to say and then I would have stopped asking!" Syaoran shouted back.
"Well sorry you didn't get the message at the beginning!" Sakura yelled getting up from her seat and moving to a desk at the back of the room. Right when she sat down and put her headphones on, Orimoto walked into the room.
He mouthed words to them that she couldn't hear over the music but figured it was something along the lines of, "Good, you're both still here." He sat down at his desk and Sakura took time to look at him.
His hair was dishevelled and she could faintly see some pink lipstick on his neck. 'Looks like Li was right, he did have a date.' She thought with absolutely no humour.

"So what was your first detention alone with Kinomoto like?" Fumihiko asked Syaoran later that day.
"Terrible," Syaoran groaned as he remembered the fight they had.
"How so?" Eriol asked curiously.
"Everything was going fine and we were actually having a normal conversation and then all of a sudden she had a major mood swing and started biting my head off! I swear she must have been having PMS or something!" Syaoran explained.
"Wow," all his friends chorused.
"I should have been there with you man," Fumihiko sympathised. "She seems to like me, she's nice whenever I'm around. Maybe she wants me instead of you."
"She mocks you when you're not around," Syaoran responded.
"Its all hidden flattery," Fumihiko shook it off.
"I think its just mockery," Takashi replied.
"Shut up! What do you know?" Fumihiko's face started going red.
"More than yo-"
"Okay back to my problem here!" Syaoran interrupted what was about to be a fight.
"So getting Kinomoto harder than you thought it would be?" Ritsou asked with a smirk.
"She's just so hard to figure out," Syaoran shook his head.
"Tak," Eriol said to his friend. "You were her lab partner before right?"
"Yeah," Takashi replied.
"Did she ever open up to you at all? You know talk about stuff? Anything that can help Syaoran out in getting to know her?" Eriol asked hopefully.
"Not really…" Takashi said thoughtfully. "I tried to get her to talk to me, but all she really did was listen to her ipod. I did get her to talk a little bit by begging her to talk to me. I know she has an older brother, her mom died when she was little, and her favourite band is Bullet for my Valentine."
"That's more than what any of us know," Ritsou sighed.
"I know she worships some guy named Jeffree Star," Syaoran added.
"Who's that?" Fumihiko asked making a face at the name.
"I dunno," Syaoran said. "She told me he was some kind of transvestite with pink hair."
"She worships a transvestite?" Eriol asked.
"Apparently emo kids adore him."
"Weird…" they all chorused again.
"Okay well maybe you'll have better luck with her tomorrow Syaoran," Ritsou replied.
Syaoran nodded his head and they all started to head separate ways to go home for supper.
"I just hope she doesn't hate me tomorrow or this bet goes down the tubes," Syaoran muttered to himself on his way home.

The next day at school Sakura was not happy. Not only did she have to think of a new way to get detention, but she also figured that Syaoran was going to try and talk to her about their argument in detention yesterday. She had let her guard down talking to him yesterday; they were acting like…friends for a minute there. She didn't like the idea of being his friend. She had just been so happy to have someone ask her what music she was listening to; she just couldn't help herself but act that way. She wasn't going to let that happen again though.
She was in her second period class. It was geography. She hated this class with a passion; next to math it was her worst subject. Not only did she have troubles whenever a map was slapped in front of her face, but she absolutely despised the teacher.
The teacher was a man named Mr. Okiayu. He was a middle-aged man that was very hairy; he looked like he never shaved. He had no respect for his students and always expected you to know the answer to his question before he had even taught you that part of geography. He also smelled horrible! He was in fact, allergic to deodorant. His body couldn't use anything that had perfumes in it, which meant he also couldn't use most soap. Because of his little B.O problem, his room was always freezing with no heat on so he wouldn't start sweating. Sakura had wondered to herself one time why he couldn't just wear a car freshener around his neck…at leas than he would smell better.
She had a very bad relationship with this teacher, he was the one that gave her most of her detentions, and even though most of the time in this class she didn't do anything, he was just like that. He also kept them in at lunchtime, not after school. That was something she hated. She didn't like sitting in his class when it was time to be eating.
He started walking around the classroom doing a homework check. She hadn't done the homework. She had forgotten her book in her locker and didn't feel like coming back to school to retrieve it. It had turned out she wasn't the only one who hadn't finished her homework that day.
"All the students who didn't finish their homework last night are to stay here after the bell to get it done!" Mr. Okiayu yelled to the class. "In other words, you've all got detention!"
Students in the class groaned while Sakura just rolled her eyes. She didn't want to be staying in at lunch for detention that just wasn't right. She may get detention often, but it's different when it's after school, lunchtime was time she got to eat!
She pulled out the homework that she didn't do and started working on it while he went about with his lesson. She ignored everything he said and got her homework finished. When the bell rang the class started empting out and she and about ten others stayed in their seats. While the others worked she waited a little bit while Okiayu went on about how they should remember to do their homework. Eventually, she stood up with her paper to hand it in.
"Are you finished Kinomoto?" he sneered.
"Yes," she replied in her usual monotone. (A/N I just thought I'd mention that this is based off of me and what I said to my geography…lmao I got in so much trouble from my parents later…)
"Well then you can just sit back down!" he mocked her.
She sat back down in her seat in a huff almost making her desk almost tip over when she hit it. She sat there quietly for a little bit until she couldn't take it anymore and stood up ready to walk out.
"Going somewhere Kinomoto?" he asked.
"I want to eat my lunch," she replied.
"Yeah well I want to talk to your father," he answered smugly thinking he got her to behave.
"Go ahead!" she yelled angrily.
"Okay, fine I will and I'll tell him about your attitude problem as well!" he retorted.
"Go ahead! I don't really care!" she continued to yell back.
"And you can finish this detention with me after school!" he finalized the argument.
Sakura was so mad at him right then that she didn't even notice it was her ticket to detention later, "No way!" and she started walking to the door. "What do you want me to do with my homework?" she asked holding up the homework she had done in class for him.
"I don't want it!" he responded. "I wanted it at the beginning of class I don't need it now," he smirked at her.
When he said that all the students in the room finishing the homework looked up at him with shocked expressions all thinking the same thing, "then why am I here?" That made Sakura snap more than she already had and held her homework in his face and ripped it to shreds.
"You can march right down to the office now," he seethed.
"Fuck that!" Sakura yelled in his face. She could tell she was getting on his last nerve. "Fuck you and fuck your class!" she started walking out the door.
"That's it! You're suspended! Don't come here for the next three days!" he yelled after her.
"Good and maybe while I'm gone you can take a bath you smell like ass!" she yelled slamming the door and heading to her locker to get her stuff. She was happy she wasn't going to be there for the next few days.

Syaoran was sitting in a class after lunch with his friends. This was one class he and his friends all had together, Kinomoto was also in this class but he hadn't seen her since math. He was wondering if she was avoiding him, but why should she have to avoid him? All he was going to say was he was sorry.
The class he was in was…parenting. A class he was forced to take because he needed the credit to graduate. Although he didn't think he would actually get the credit because he was failing. The teacher, Mrs. Yuzuharu, walked into the class wheeling in a lot of dolls in what appeared to be a wheelbarrow.
"Okay class, today you are all going to receive a doll. That doll will represent a baby. You will be the parents to that baby. I have put you all up in pairs and you will work together to take care of the baby's every need. Don't even try just ignoring it because there's a computer built inside it that tells me if you're treating it correctly," she explained to the class.
The class groaned as she explained everything that would need to be done to take care of the baby. No one in the class wanted to be taking care of a baby. Friends from older grades had talked about this project; they said how the babies woke you up in the middle of the night crying.
"Okay here are the pairs!" Mrs. Yuzuharu said with enthusiasm.
She went down the list of names with everyone's partner. Some people groaned in distaste at their partner, others smiled happily. Eriol was one that couldn't stop smiling. He was paired with Tomoyo.
"Can you believe my luck man?" he whispered over to Syaoran. "First she asks me to marry her for Valentines Day and now I'm her partner in a parenting project!"
"You're a lucky man dude," Syaoran patted his friend on the back.
Fumihiko was one that wasn't happy; he was paired with Keiko Saiko. "Man I can't stand her! She's way too tall and she's so annoying…besides, she likes you," he said narrowing his eyes at Syaoran.
"Okay, first of all, everyone is pretty much taller than you so you think everyone is too tall, and second of all I know she likes me, she flirts with me all the time," Syaoran sat back listening for when his name would be called.
Takashi got paired with a girl named Chiharu Mihara and he didn't seemed to be complaining. Ritsou was paired up with a girl named Naoko Yanagisawa, he also wasn't complaining.
He listened closely until she reached the end of her list. She looked around the room and faced him. "Mr. Li, I have you paired up with Ms. Kinomoto but it appears she won't be joining us for the first couple of days…"
"Why's that?" Syaoran asked curiously.
"She got suspended right before lunch for back talking to Mr. Okiayu," someone in the room laughed. "Haha you should have seen it! It was awesome!"
"Quiet!" Mrs. Yuzuharu snapped at him. "You'll be a single parent for the first few days Mr. Li, I'm sorry about that."
"It's okay," Syaoran grumbled. He wasn't looking forward to taking care of the doll on his own for a while.
"Look on the bright side Syaoran," Takashi offered. "Chicks dig men with kids."
Syaoran clenched his fists before shouting out to his friend annoyed, "But it's a doll!"
