A New Season

Chapter 7

My eye was definitely twitching. No, not just twitching, it felt like it would magically combust. Oh, yes, that had to be it. After all, I must have the worst luck in the world of luck. Of course, I have never believed in luck, but now. Yeah, I definitely had bad luck. Firstly, born as a Li; secondly, born with four overly hyperactive sister; thirdly, friends with Eriol and Shun and remained sane at the same time. Lastly, meeting Sensei, that would probably be the worst of luck. Bad karma, that I had apparently collected for not helping old ladies cross the street. Or, God hated me. No, that probably wasn't it, I mean after all I was alive. But, no today was definitely one of the most, second to meeting Sensei, my unluckiest day ever.

Why? Well, standing in front of hundreds, no thousands of people, with a very pointer glare. I glanced over to Mei Ling, who was barely able to stand straight due to her laughter, though she was trying not to laugh, bless her for trying. Even Daidouji-san was chuckling at me, I was definitely going to introduce her to Eriol when he was drunk, that would be my divine retribution. And Sensei, oh she just could not hold her laughter in. Hell, she didn't even try to, the stupid woman. My you be cursed with bad students for the rest of your life. And, just why in the world did I have to be met with the AV club in this school, just why exactly did they need were they doing a broadcast that was being shown all around the school on all the TVs Yeah, I really must be jinxed-- cursed for life.

I vowed right now, that I would kill Eriol. Yes, he would die a very cruel, slow and torturous death. I quickly grabbed Sensei's black round hat, and pulled it over my head. Then, I more or less ran away. I could hear Sensei run after me. I jumped over a bench and hid behind a tree. Leaning back against it, I sighed. Oh the Eriol was so going to get that he would never be able to go out without another girl again.

Slowly, I descended to the ground and placed my elbows on my knees, and mumbled, "Life can be such an ass."

I felt a shadow come over me, as I looked up, I saw Sensei, with her black wig framing her pale face, while she had bent down and placed her hand on her knees to get some air.

That seemed odd, after all this woman was able to jump from the third flower and not break a sweat. Yet now she needed air after a little running? Before I had a chance to react the hat was pulled off of my head.

I shot a glare at her, "Hey!"

"No, don't worry. No matter how cute you look with your hair in bows, I won't embarrass you any further. In fact, girls have the magical touch when it comes to hair." She said. "Come on Syaoran I won't hurt you." she said as she rolled her eyes at my pointed glare.

Still eyeing her suspiciously, she came over and swept her hands through my hair. For the first time in my life I felt a sudden electric shock. I didn't look up, having the feeling of my face heating up. But, I wanted to know if it was just me. Did she feel it as well?

She worked quickly, and soon the odd bows, clips and bands were out of my hair except for one. She was now getting the last one, when she began. "I had no right to say what... I said the other day. Like seriously, I don't know what came over me... I mean it's not like I know the entire story right? And besides, I... I don't know... it was weird... I don't usually meddle in people's business... and" I looked up then.

Her hands that were placed just behind my head, slid down and rested behind my neck, and our faces only centimeters away. Her lips were parted, her eyes wide in shock.

I could feel myself getting pulled in, even the brown contacts didn't cover the true nature of her eyes. I could see the glimpse of green. I saw her blush for the first time, she looked... there was no other way to describe it, she looked beautiful. I could stare at that blush forever, I could hear my heart beating loudly against my chest. Then, the sound of my heart began to echo. Or so it seemed, but it was her heart that was beating as well. So, it wasn't just me.

We quickly broke apart. She turned her hat, so that it was now covering her eyes. I felt myself beginning to blush. So I turned away.

"I'm sorry." she said, as she played with her hands.

I motioned her to sit down, with the incline of my head. She did, almost robotically. This only made me want to laugh, at how cute it was. Then I began, "You don't need to apologize." I could feel that she had turned to look at me now, but I refused to look at her. "And, I didn't avoid you. I just hadn't solved the it, so that's why I couldn't confront you. It would remind me that I still had to think of that."

"Oh." she said in an almost shock voice. I turned to look at her this time. Her hands were covering most of her face. And she repeated, "Oh." She finally brought her hands down and smiled at me.

The smile was so breathtaking, that I actually could not breathe. My heart beat louder than ever against my chest. Wow.

I could hear that MeiLing and Tomoyo had arrived. Mei Ling was telling me something, something about going out for a movie. I remember nodding my head. I remember leaving the school. But all I could think was wow.

Author's Note: Okay, so I this is probably the smallest chapter I will write for the story. I would have written more, but it ended so well, I couldn't continue. I promise next chapter will be long. Now I'm going to do some advertising: as, most of you know, I have started another story Saturn's Notes, this is about the creation of a rock band and their relationship throughout. I hope you guys can give your opinion on it. And a great big thanks to all the reviewers and the awesome Kiiriya! Love ya!

Don't forget to review!
