Hey! I'm back again with Chapter five! my favourite number! You know I can't believe I haven't even thanked any of my reviewers! Where are my manners? LOL well a big thank you to:
Friday that week:
"Meiling!" Syaoran groaned walking out of homeroom, "Get off of me!"
"Aww Syaoran, are you still sore?" Meiling asked, loosing her grip on him.
"Yes!" Syaoran replied, wriggling his arms, "and you're making it worse!!"
Meiling's smile just got bigger, which confused both Syaoran and Eriol, "you're so cute when you're putting that act on!"
Both boys dropped their heads, how dense can she get?
"Who said it was an act?" Eriol said under his breath. Meiling gave him one of her lethal death stares. Eriol just smiled back at her. It really had no affect on him what so ever, well he is a strange boy!
"So! Are you ready for music?" Eriol asked, already knowing the answer.
"Hell yeah!" Syaoran cheered.
"Too bad I'm not there," Meiling sulked. She chose almost the same subjects that Syaoran had so they could be together.
"Yes," Syaoran said rolling his eyes, "what a shame."
Syaoran had purposely changed one of his electives to music so make sure that he got a break from Meiling.
But it's not like he totally hates the girl. He knows she's great girl does love her, but only as a family member. The only thing he doesn't like is the fact that she's always hanging off him.
"Hey guys!" Sakura and Tomoyo greeted, popping out of thin air. The three of them all took a step back, startled. They always came out of now where like a ghost from a horror movie or a pig in a chicken coop.
"You. Scared. Me," Eriol panted, trying to regain his breathe back.
Syaoran instantly freed himself from Meiling grasp and put his hand in his pockets. Sakura turned her attention to Syaoran, who was just looking up at the ceiling.
Meiling growled under her breathe, snatching back his hand and glaring at Sakura. There's nothing like Meiling's glares to scare the socks off your feet!
"Aha!" Sakura laughed uncomfortably, "I'll see you in class." She linked arms with Tomoyo and walked into the class room.
Once she arrived at her desk she let out a sigh. She could feel Meiling's staring at her as she walked to her table.
"She's so weird," Sakura said, pulling out her chair.
"ahaha! Did you know, every time you come near Syaoran, he always pushes Meiling away?" Tomoyo questioned. This was one of those things that Tomoyo had taken noticed of. If it had to do with Sakura and Syaoran of course she would notice! She made it her official job.
Sakura's cheeks became rosy. It was a rare sight to see Sakura even slightly embarrassed, but if it concerned Syaoran she would become as shy as a mouse, "It-It's probably nothing," she replied, "you know he doesn't like her hanging off him."
"You always have a reason when it comes to him," Tomoyo said with a chuckle, "But you have noticed haven't you? Every time."
Sakura started to think about it. It was true, it did happen every time. She just shook her head. No, it couldn't be true, could it?
"Maybe he likes me!" Sakura laughed, like it was the funniest thing she had ever said.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Tomoyo said, leaning back into her seat with a smirk.
"Ahaha!" Sakura laughed even louder slapping Tomoyo's back hard making her cough, "Don't be silly!"
When she saw Eriol and Syaoran enter the room she quickly sat down in her seat. Tomoyo was patting her chest as she let her final coughs out, "what the hell was that for?!"
"I sense a cat-fight!" Eriol said excited taking his seat opposite them.
"No, it's just Tomoyo being stupid!" Sakura corrected him, eyeing Tomoyo who had a glowing smile.
"Hey have you guys heard about the festival that's on tomorrow?" Eriol asked.
Tomoyo and Eriol knew everything that happens in this town. Eriol was always well informed about events and Tomoyo knew all the goss! It would probably explain why they are such good friends.
The three of them shook their heads, "nope."
"Well Tomeda Elementary is holding a festival; I heard its going to be pretty good! And Mr. Terada is performing!" Eriol informed them.
Both girls turned to each other and started squealing like fan girls at a boy band concert! Not a very good sight and definitely not healthy for your ears.
"I'm definitely going!" Tomoyo said smiling uncontrollably.
"Of course!" Sakura agreed nodding her head.
"Ahem," Eriol said, turning away from the hyper active girls, "are you going too?"
"Yeah sure," Syaoran shrugged, "whatever."
Saturday
Sakura and Tomoyo stood at the entrance, wearing their favourite summer Kimono. Sakura always felt special in this one because it was her mother's favourite has well. Fujitaka just adjusted it so it could fit Sakura perfectly.
Tomoyo smiled at the nervous Sakura. Her grip on her bag grew tighter as she thought about being at the festival with Syaoran.
"Hey!" Eriol called running towards them, "sorry we're late!"
"Better be!" Tomoyo said, tapping her feet.
Eriol gave Tomoyo a glare, making her laugh, "I'm joking! We only got here a while ago!"
They all looked at Syaoran who hadn't said a word yet. He just had his hands in his pockets and was starring at the ground. Syaoran decided to just take a quick look up, to see what everyone was doing but when he did everyone had already starred walking in!
"Hey! Wait up!" He calling running after them. He stopped behind Eriol and Tomoyo who were chatting about what they wanted to do today. Sakura giggled quietly at him, making him grin.
"So? When is Terada performing?" Tomoyo asked with a big smile.
"Um, at twelve on the stage," Eriol replied, smiling back. Tomoyo turn around and held Sakura's hands, "2 hours until Terada performs! So what do you want to do now?"
Sakura couldn't think of anything, she was already happy with Syaoran walking by his side.
"Did you guys want to eat something?" Eriol suggested. They all nodded in agreement rubbing their tummies hungrily.
The girls were sitting at a round table for four, waiting for the boys to come back their food. They were talking about how excited they were to see Terada perform on stage when the boy's finally came whispering to each other.
"I hope you like it," Eriol said grinning
Both girls frowned, "What did you do?"
Eriol place a plate of food in front of Tomoyo and him and Syaoran put the plates of food in front of Sakura and himself before taking a seat next to her.
"I thought we should try something new," Eriol replied with a big smile. The two girls looked down at their dishes with a horrified look, "what is it?" Tomoyo asked.
Sakura poked her food with her chop sticks giggling, "Looks funny!"
"Try it," Eriol urged. The two girls looked uneasy but they went for it anyways. They lifted up their plates and shoved the food into their mouths, chewing it and savouring the taste before swallowing it.
The girls placed the plate on the table, "Eriol!" They both exclaimed, "That was delicious!!"
Both guys laughed at their smiling faces. Sakura and Tomoyo got back into their food, eating it hungrily.
Sakura turned to Syaoran, pointing at his plate of rice with her chopsticks, "Can I try?" Syaoran nodded, pushing his plate towards her. Sakura was too busy eating to notice the rosy colour of his cheeks.
Sakura turned and smiled at him, "This is great!" They were both unaware that Tomoyo was taping both of them.
"I always keep my video camera close by," Tomoyo explained to Eriol, "so I don't miss any of Sakura's moments."
Eriol chuckled, "you are very mischievous!"
Tomoyo gave Eriol a wink before returning to what she was recording, "do you think anything will happen? Between them two I mean."
Eriol smiled, looking at the two, "absolutely not." Tomoyo laughed nodding.
Sakura was about to eat a little bit more of Syaoran's rice until she noticed a Cherry blossom petal on the top. She held up on with her chop sticks, "that's odd." They all leaned in closer to observe it.
"I didn't order that," Syaoran said, dazed.
"Can I eat it?" Sakura asked, looking at the sauce that transferred to the petal. They all laughed, "You would eat anything, wouldn't you?" Eriol said.
They found it odd that it took them all one hour and a half to eat lunch.
"Maybe we should make our way to the stage," Tomoyo suggested. They all got up and placed their rubbish in the bin before making their way to the big stage. No-none really took notice of the flower petals on the ground.
When they got to the stage the girls dropped their head and moaned, "It's full already." They looked up at the growing crowd before them. Most of it filled with high school girls. "I thought this was supposed to be a primary school festival," Tomoyo commented, with a sniff.
Eriol grabbed Tomoyo's hand and walked into the crowd with Syaoran then Sakura following. It was a tight squeeze to get through this crowd of screaming girls. Eriol said he'd blame Tomoyo if he became deaf.
Tomoyo turned to Syaoran, "I think we are half way there."
"Half way?" he repeated looking up. It was a long way to get to the front. He let out a sigh and continued to follow Tomoyo until he heard someone call out his name.
He turned around and Sakura was no-where to be seen.
"Sakura!" He called, turning the other way, trying to find where she could have got to, "Sakura!!"
The call for his name seemed to get louder, so he continued in the same way, trying to make his way through.
He could finally see Sakura, jumping up and down calling out his name behind three tall guys who couldn't even hear her say "excuse me."
"Sakura," He called, squeezing his way to her.
"Syaoran! I thought I lost you guys," She said, happy to see him.
"Yeah, I lost Eriol and Tomoyo," Syaoran told her in a shout so she could hear, "Did you want to get out of here? I don't think we'll be able to get through this crowd." Sakura nodded as she turned around to make her way out.
It was even a tougher squeeze because people were pushing to get to the front. A bunch of guys just came bouncing through, pushing everyone they could to get in close enough screaming at the top of their lungs, "yeah! Go Mr. T! Terada rocks!"
Sakura and Syaoran were pushed apart. Sakura was afraid that she'd be trapped and squeezed to death, until she felt someone grab her hand. She looked up and saw Syaoran pulling her towards her so she wouldn't get lost again.
"Sorry," she apologised. She wished that she could use the shield card so it'll be easier for them to escape, but something unexpected happened.
Syaoran held Sakura by her waist, helping her get through the crowd. Sakura felt so happy! It was like she was flying, wait, it was even better than flying! Syaoran held her close to him so that he didn't lose her again.
They were so happy when they got out from the crowd and so exhausted. Syaoran realised that he was alone with her; he could feel his cheeks burning.
"Uh … did you want to get a drink?" Syaoran asked.
