A/N: Hey guys! Thank you all so much for your reviews/alerts/favs! And oh yeah, I already answered this for that person, but someone asked if the one-shots were going to be related to one another or just random ones, so in case any of you are wondering, they are all going to be seperate stories.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Ok fine, so I lied. I'm not to lazy to post a disclaimer for every chapter. And btw, I still don't own CCS.


Things You Should Never Do Concerning Your Crush

2. whisper his name over and over, even if it's just to keep yourself doing something very tiring – he just might be listening.


Cheerleading

56… 57… 58…

Sakura groaned. Her arm felt like jello. Tossing the cheerleading baton could get quite tiring, you know.

She stood alone in the far end of the field. There was no cheerleading practice today. But she wanted to get better and to boost her concentration so that she wouldn't have to endure those embarrassing moments when the baton randomly fell on her head. And as they say, practice makes perfect!

So here she was, practicing. Up, down. Up, down.

I'm going to die from this! Sakura's whiny part complained after a while. Why did I make myself do this in the first place?

Because you wanted to get better, the matter-of-factly part of her answered.

Sakura gritted her teeth. She could swear that her arm was about to fall off.

Funny, because the first, and last, thing she needed right now was a source of distraction.

She decided to find something to take her attention off of her aching arm. She'll just have to be a little more careful in not letting her baton drop.

Nothing around here is interesting… Sakura thought, as she observed the dull, unmoving trees and grass around here. The sky was clear – no clouds for her imagination to build on. And all the flowers were all wilting; it was winter after all.

Sakura sighed from the lack of anything to catch her interest. But soon enough, she found her thoughts drifting that did catch her interest – Li Syaoran, aka her secret crush. He was athletic, smart, caring, good-looking… who could not fall in love with him?

"Just pretend that Syaoran's watching you right now," Sakura whispered to herself,"you wouldn't want to mess up in front of him, would you? Besides, if you do good, he'll think that you are awesome, and realize how amazing you are. And then he'll will probably like you back, and maybe even ask you out!C'mon Sakura, you can do better than that! Syaoran's watching you right now…"

Sakura continued to push herself along with that cheesy pep talk – and to her surprise, it actually worked amazingly well! Her arm didn't hurt half as much anymore with Syaoran on her mind.

Then, after some time, Sakura started to get that feeling when someone is standing behind you, watching you. At first she thought it might've just been her imagination, but it didn't go away for a while, so she decided to just turn around and check. I mean, it wouldn't hurt would it? Not like there was actually going to be some jerk just standing there and looking at her…

But there was. To her utter astonishment and bewilderment, there was. And it was none other than the Syaoran Li.

Her went big with surprise, and for that split second, her concentration level went down to a whooping -1000. And at that precise moment, the baton dropped down and struck her squarely on the head.

"Hoeee!!" Sakura squeaked girlishly, more from the shock of seeing Syaoran than from being hit by her baton.

Syaoran's amber eyes widened with worry as he rushed over to Sakura, who was now sitting on the grass, clutching her head. "Daijobou deska? Are you okay?"

"H-hai, daijobou, I'm fine…" was her weak reply, as she pushed herself into a better posture.

And awkward silence followed.

Then after a few moments, Sakura said timidly, "Ano… Li-kun…"

"Syaoran," he corrected.

Sakura blushed. "Syaoran-kun," she began, a little unsure of herself, "why… why were you here?"

Now it was Syaoran's turn to blush. "Well, I was sort of just passing by, and I happened to see you here, and well… yeah," he finished lamely.

"How much did you hear?"

"All of it," Syaoran answered, still embarrassed. "Twice and a half, to be exact."

Hoeee!!! Sakura's insides completely freaked out at that, but by some miracle she was still fairly calm on the outside.

"…So?" Her voice was still as shy as before, but her big emerald eyes were eager and hopeful.

"So… I just want to say, that it doesn't matter if you mess up in front of me, because everyone makes mistakes."

Sakura said nothing, so he took it as a sign to continue.

"And I also want to say that I already think you are awesome. I already realize how amazing you are. And I do like you back… and…"

"And?" she said, her voice filled with expectance.

"Sakura… will you go out with me?" Syaoran's face was a bright red tomato by then.

Sakura beamed.

"Of course."


A/N: Hmm... I didn't like this one quite as much as the first one... it just didn't seem to flow as much, you know? Oh well. At least I got some SxS in there, right?

And I actually got this idea because every time we do our weekly run in PE, I always use that method that Sakura used to keep me going. Lame, I know, but it works! really! Feel free to try it out - just don't sue me if something bad happens instead! hehe...

Also! I know this has nothing to do with anything, but Xing Nian Kuai Le!! (that's happy new year in Chinese!) I probably should have done a Chinese New Year themed one-shot, but I already typed this and wanted to post it :D

Review!!
