Things You Should Never Do Concerning Your Crush

11. wear a white t-shirt on a rainy day.


White Shirt

Today was horrible.

Now, Sakura's had many bad days, but today was downright horrible.

She'd woken up to a warm, sunny autumn day, and decided to wear a thin white t-shirt and that she wouldn't need a jacket.

Not a good decision, let me tell you.

The walk to school was still okay. The sun stayed out, and the air was a nice, comfortable temperature.

It wasn't until she reached school that the rain started. It was just a drizzle, really, but immediately the atmosphere cooled down and the wind turned chilly.

Sakura managed to get to class okay; she was wet, but she wasn't soaked.

Then there was gym class. Nothing bad or anything…until the PE teacher announced that they were be playing volleyball. Outside.

There were many groans and complaints, but the plan didn't change. Not after long, Sakura's clothes were completely wet.

And to make it worse, her secret crush – Syaoran Li – was playing against her.

You see, the thing about white shirts, is that not only do they get wet and icky and cold like all the other shirts do, they also turn somewhat see-through. And, being only in fourth grade, Sakura didn't wear five different layers under her shirts.

She could practically tell that Syaoran, who was standing right in front of her since they were both playing the front position, was being very uncomfortable constantly averting his eyes from her. She subconsciously tried to cover herself up, but it was kind of hard to do it without making it too obvious. So she just sort of turned to the side a bit. Not like it really helped, anyway.

Finally, gym was over.

But then, there was always the walk home.

And the thing is, she walked home with Syaoran.

They met up after school, like always. Sakura could tell he was still not really looking at her. She blushed and stared at her feet. Her shirt was still soaked.

An awkward silence settled in as they started to walk toward their homes. Sakura desperately wanted to say something, but it felt too weird.

Finally, they got to the place where they split up. Sakura opened her mouth to say goodbye, but Syaoran beat her to it.

"Here."

Sakura looked at him. He had taken off his thick, fuzzy black coat, and held it towards her. "Here, take it."

At first, Sakura wasn't sure what to do, but then she just smiled, as she took the coat and put it on. It was warm and cozy, and best of all… it smelled like him.

"Thank you," she said softly, feeling a blush creep up on her cheeks. He grunted a reply, and turned around quickly to walk away, but paused for a second. "J…Just give it back tomorrow or something." And as soon as he finished, he started walking away again, not looking back.

Sakura smiled. She loved it when Syaoran acted shy… it just made him that much cuter. She snuggled deeper into his coat and inhaled his sweet scent.

Maybe today wasn't all that horrible, after all.
