Chapter 2 – Chances
.: After school - Narrator's POV :.
Urgh…how I'm a going to do this? I mean, she's so plain…well, plain in the sense I haven't gotten to know her yet. -sigh-
"Hey Syaoran!"
"Oh, hey Takeo."
"My god, you look so weary, what happened? She knock you out cold or what?"
"No no no…" Argh! Go away Takeo! Your so annoying sometimes!
"Well, I'm feeling a blue for you, so here, maybe this will help." said Takeo as he gave Syaoran an address-phone directory.
"Bye!" He wants me to phone her doesn't he? Well, what do I have to lose? Pretty much nothing…
Syaoran took the little booklet and found the page in the book with Sakura's name in it. Ok, so far so good. He took out his cell phone and dialed: 3-5-2-4-1-1-0-call
"Ring…ring...Hello?" a young boy's voice was on the phone.
"Hi, this is Li Syaoran, I wanted to know if Sakura was at home?"
"You're SYAORAN!"
"Uh, yeah…I just said that…"
"NICE TO MEET YOU! I'm Touya, Sakura's little brother!" (AN: for story purposes, Touya is now the younger sibling xD)
"Hehe, nice to meet you too..so where's Sakura?"
"Oh. She's working."
"Where?"
"At Penny's Pastry Shop"
"Oh, ok. Thanks man."
"No problem! Bye."
"BEEP"
After calling and talking to Touya, Syaoran went to the school's parking lot and got on his motorcycle to meet Sakura.
.: Penny's Pastry Shop – Syaoran's POV :.
I got there around 4:00, and I saw Sakura inside the shop taking care of the cash register. She was wearing a nice pink fluffy waitress dress. It matched her hair colour and eyes nicely, but there was still something missing. Her puffy and messy ponytail just ruined the picture, and so did her thick rimmed glasses. She didn't seem to notice me…
"Ma'm?" said an eldery man.
"Yes?" said Sakura.
"Are those pastry puff balls? The ones with vanilla cream filling?"
"Yes. They come in different sizes."
"Hmm…" I decided to talk to her then.
"Psst!" She turned towards me and looked at me with a surprised face.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" she asked me.
"I wanna talk." I replied.
"Ma'm!" said the wrinkled man.
"One second sir." she replied to him and then turned to talk to me
"Ok, if you're here to ask me to tutor you, I better tell you that I'm not smart. So don't even ask."
"Um…I have the third highest IQ in out grade…"
"Oh. Right."..."Well, why are you here then?" she said while crossing her arms.
"I just wanna hang out with you." I replied.
"You don't even know me."
She was right. I knew nothing about her. I started to look for answers, and luckily, I saw paint marking on her shoes.
"Well…umm…I do like art."
"Sure. You're not even in my art class."
"I take independent art study classes because I'm so busy with soccer and everything else."
She looked at me unbelievingly, and then said: "Fine, the only way I'm letting you talk to me, is if you come to my art performance tonight at 8 pm." with an intriguing smile on her face.
"Ok, no problem."
"Here's a ticket. The address is on it, and don't be late." she said, and then turned around to her customer I as I walked out the door, "Sorry for that interruption, so have you chosen yet?"
"I think I'll take the large sized balls." said the old man. (AN: lmao dirty joke)
.: Art Performance – Syaoran's POV :.
I got right on time, and chose a seat in the front row. I was wondering where Sakura was, and was looking for her, but then suddenly, the lights toned down. The show had just begun… Randomly out of the blue, some guy came out on stage in silver wrapping and started to dance and sing…
"The baby's in the mother's womb. The baby's in the mother's womb…"
I was getting freaked out…and it got freakier when he unraveled the silver wrapping. He was dressed in a pair of white underwear! Unbelievable!
"The baby's coming out, out, out, out…." he said as started dancing. Then sparks started flying everywhere.
I was wondering why people weren't so offended or disgusted, and I realized that this was performance of the arts; in other words, a drama. It was definitely creative…Then I saw Sakura come on stage. She was wearing a white ballerina outfit that hugged every curve of her body. She was also carrying a long piece of white fabric which she drape the other boy in.
"Mommy's here for you…" she said.
"No more worries…" they chanted.
"No more worries, mommy's here for you. No…more…worries…"
The lights suddenly went out and then back on, and everybody was applauding, giving them an outstanding ovation. I joined in and thought about it for a while. It was something very creative, yet, meaningful.
"Ok everybody! Hi I'm Matt," said the boy in underwear, "Thanks for everything, but now, we have to welcome a new member to 'Jester Drama'! Li Syaoran, will you please come up and enlighten us?"
I turned white as a ghost. I had never done anything of this sort, well at least not improvisation...then Sakura walked up to me.
"You know, you don't have to do this…"she whispered.
"…" I didn't reply…but then I suddenly got the urge to take up the challenge. So I moved quietly to the stage followed by a dozen pair of eyes.
"Umm…Hi. My name is Syaoran." I said. How stupid was that! Of course they all knew my name. They just announced it. What an embarrassing start…Now what do I do?
"Err…" I blanked out and put my hands into my pant pockets, and I felt something. I took it out and realized that it was a hacky-sack. Then, all of a sudden, I had an idea.
"This is a hacky-sack." I said and then started to kick it around without dropping it.
"Ha-c-ky-sa-ck. Ha-c-ky-sa-ck. Ha-c-ky-sa-ck.." I continued to say, then i felt a rush of ideas. I started to do little tricks and continued to chant.
"You can't let it drop. Never let it drop. Don't ever let it drop" and my tricks got harder and harder until I finally dropped it. I blanked out yet again, but then I instinctively said ", but eventually you have to let it drop…"
I stood there, kind of embarrassed of what I did, but I was also proud for some reason. I was able to improvise, and do something that I've never experienced before…Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, people started to clap and cheer. I was astonished.
"Err…um thanks." I said and smiled dumbly as I walked off the stage.
Then some girl said "Hey, good job."
I turned around to my side and saw it was Sakura.
.: Outside - Syaoran's POV:.
We left the building in laughter and in smiles. I couldn't believe it. Sakura was really impressed of what I did.
"You were great!" she kept on saying.
"Naw, the guy in underwear was a lot better."
"Ha ha!"
"You know, I really had a lot of fun doing what I did today." I said. I really meant it. I don't know why, but I just felt really exicted.
"Why? Did you like the rush of feelings?"
"Yeah! That's it!"
"Hehe…"
We walked in silence, after that. I couldn't help but stare at her. She didn't seem to notice, so I kept looking at her. I just kept on looking into her mysterious green eyes, but I couldn't really concentrate because the glasses where in the way, so I blurted out: "Do you or have you ever taken off your glasses? And like, worn contacts?"
She looked at me and said "No…not really…" and then stopped walking ",why are you asking?"
"Just curious…" I moved my hands closer to her face…"'cause your eyes really look beautiful…" I said while taking off her glasses… But then she twitched and grabbed my hands off her glasses.
"Oh my god! Not that line!" she yelled out and ran.
Then it just started pouring rain…
"What the…that was for real!" I said while running after her.
"Real my ass!" I caught up to her and grabbed her arm.
"Stop stalking me! I'll call the police! I'll call my father, I'll call my uncle, my brother, my my my…"
I covered her mouth and said "you're spazzing…calm down, let's talk normaly."
She looked at me with teary eyes and then I let her go. "…oh…sorry…"
Then I blurted out "I'll I want is a chance…a chance to be your friend…"
She looked at me like I was some idiot and said nothing.
"Come on. At least let me take you home, you can't walk home in the rain like this…" I said while pointing to her soaked clothes. She followed me as I walked to my motorcycle. I stopped before getting on, and asked her
"So…are you gonna give me a chance or what?" She looked at me and replied "maybe…" while giving me a very small smile.
