We were eating dinner, it’s still our first night. Everybody was chattering. You could hear Anna talking loudly about how she suffered herself for an expensive wax for the sake of going to Bahamas. Yes, Anna, I’m not surpised, it is because you want to show off your legs.
I apologize for sounding envious just now. But I couldn’t help it you know. I mean she actually has nice legs, and not afraid to show them. I mean I saw her, when we were in junior high, both of us were thirteen then, still she had already grown some in her chest area and her legs had already been shaved and waxed.
I remember it well, I was sitting on the beach, watching Touya and Yukito play soccer on the beach, then I saw Anna, walking on the each, practically every guy was staring at her. And she, just proudly held her head high, and walked on, making sure to swing her shiny bouncy blonde hair follow her body gracefully.
“ So, Chimiko, are you excited tomorrow?” I asked her.
“ Hehe yeah, I mean, I can’t wait, I think we’re doing swimming first, then activities in the water, then I don’t know.” She replied.
I was actually glad for Chimiko that I had invited her to sit with us. The others were being super friendly and nice and talking to her. Though all of us couldn’t help from eyeing her clothes which made her much more bigger than she actually is. Pink spaghetti strap top and beige khaki shorts. Yes, great on Anna Mei Lin or Nicole, but not great on somebody like Chimiko.
“ Tomoyo chan I’m very utterly disappointed that you shan’t be wearing your bikini.” Eriol added solemnly.
“ Mei Lin, why does the teacher make you girls wear lousy school swimming suits? I won’t be entertained then.” Ryu also said.
This caused both of the guys to receives whacks from their girlfriends. I giggled.
Then I heard something. Well the majority of the guys in our grade are all sat in a bunch of tables put together whispering something. I heard bikinis pop in one of them. I guess it’s nothing important. I’ll find out sooner or later.
I guess I found out the next morning. Today was the day where we are finally swimming. It started out just fine, I mean I woke up, brushed my teeth, and lightly washed my body. I remembered about swimming, so I headed to my wardrobe that has both of Chimiko’s and mine clothes, only to find my school swimming suit gone. Okay, well I decided to wear my scuba suit, but it was also gone.
That’s strange.
At the same time Chimiko, came out of the bathroom, she too headed for the closet, after rummaging through, she asked. “ Where’s my swimming suit?”
“ I was just about to ask the same thing.” I said.
“ Wait.” I said.
Then I ran to Tomoyo and Mei Lin’s room.
“ Hey Tomoyo, Mei Lin, did you guys by any chance lost your swimming suits?”
Mei Lin looked at me.
“ You lost yours too?” She said.
I nodded.
“ Let’s go tell Ms. Mizuki.” I said.
When we arrived at Ms. Mizuki’s room, it looked like we didn’t need to tell her after all, the other girls were surrounding her as well.
“ Lost your swimming suit as well?” Ms. Mizuki asked us.
“ Yeah.” Mei Lin said.
“ Well I guess you girls will have to wear something which you guys brought… which I’m guessing most of you girls brought bikinis….the guys will be happy that their plan to steal all our swimming suits worked.” Ms. Mizuki sighed in light exasperation.
“ They stole yours?” Chiharu asked.
“ I’m guessing so, but I didn’t bring a bikini, hehe, I’m a teacher.” She giggled.
“ But, you have a great figure.” One girl said.
“ Heheh, well I don’t want parents calling me for setting bad examples for you girls, and the guys too.” She intoned.
“ Okay, girls, come on, let’s go to the meeting point and have a talk with the guys, I already called Mr. Okina to call the guys over.” She gestured to the meeting point.
We all followed her….
“ Guys, apparently somebody, a guy, scratch that, the boys thought it would be a rather amusing idea to steal all our one piece swimming suits, and our school swimming suit, I’m sorry to say it worked, now the girls will have to wear the swimsuit they brought, which the majority of them are bikinis. Now everybody change NOW!” She clapped her hands and yelled.
On the way to their cabins, I could hear the guys whooping.
Then somebody grabbed me, I was surprised and brought me to their cabin.
I should have known.
Tomoyo.
“ Sakura, so you bought a scuba suit and the school swimming suit, and they’re stolen right?” She said.
I nodded.
“ You know what that means?” She said, eyes gleaming.
“ No.” I replied. What possibly could she have in mind?
“ You have to wear.” She held out a two piece swimming suit, obviously the dreaded thing, called a bikini! “ This.”
“ Oh no.” I declined.
“ Oh yes. I made sure Mei Lin blocked the door outside. So you will be stuck with me, and if you refuse, I will forcefully remove everything.” She pointed at my clothes.
“ And put you into these adorable little things that are just waiting to be worn.” She finished.
I sighed.
It did not look like I have any other choice, I mumbled, snatched the bikini from Tomoyo’s hand and went to change in the bathroom.
A/N : This next POV is Syaoran’s.
-------------------------------------( Syaoran’s POV) ------------------------------------------------
I sat on the beach, watching everybody leisurely relax into his or her suited activities. Eriol and Ryu were shaking.
“ Guys, calm down.” I repeated for the one hundreth and tenth time.
“ Eriol, its not like you haven’t seen her in a bikini yet.” I said simply.
“ Actually I never.” He replied.
“ Okay.” I said. Then I turned to Ryu. “ Come on, you have been going out with her since I don’t know, you can be this….tense.”
“ Well, she was rather shy about revealing her lovely figure in swimming.” Ryu answered.
Mei Lin? Shy? No way. She’s my cousin, I know her since we were born. She was always never afraid to speak her mind and way too loud. This is surprising hearing this from Ryu. But then again, we tend to act different to who we like.
“ Damn, look at Tomoyo.” Eriol suddenly jerked up.
“ Mei Lin, you’re so fucking hot.” Ryu also looked up.
Yes yes, I must agree, they are hot. The whole lot of them, Naoko looked cool in her green watermelon printed bikini, Rika looked sweet with her soft pink plain halter bikini, Chiharu’s orange flowery bikini gave her boobs much more nicer view. Sorry didn’t mean to sound so perverted. Tomoyo’s blue stripped bikini matched her navy blue eyes. Mei Lin’s red bikini gave her skin lots of radiance.
Where’s Sakura?
Then suddenly, I felt the whole wave coming on top of me.
Sakura came out. In a bikini.
My mouth hung open.
She looked gorgeous, beautiful and amazing. I could say more, but let’s stop. Her skin was lightly tanned, her honey brown hair was swaying gently with the wind when she walked, her green eyes gleamed with the sun, creating a fusion of emeralds that’s just been polished. She was wearing a pink and white bikini that had cherry blossom prints on it. It suited her very well. Her flat stomach was well against her curvy hips, and her legs were nice and long and smooth. She looked so hot!
It seemed like a thousand years until I blinked.
Then I realized that everybody else was staring too.
Sakura noticed this, a blush crept up her cheeks, making her face even cuter.
I’ve never seen her like this before, so beautiful. I slapped myself. I had to look normal when she arrived.
----------------------------------------( BACK TO SAKURA POV)-------------------------------
Oh My God! Everyone is staring, even Li Syaoran! Do I look bad? I mean when I examined myself in the mirror, I thought I looked okay, surprisingly, my legs weren’t hideous and fat as I imagined it to be, and I don’t think I look fat.
Breathe normally.
“ Okay guys, how do we look?” Tomoyo said brightly.
“ Nice.” Eriol said.
“ How does Sakura look?” Mei Lin asked.
“ She looks really nice.” Yamazaki said.
Everybody nodded. All the girls were looking at Li, they knew I had been waiting especially for his comment.
He didn’t say anything else, that’s what disappointed me, other than “ Yeah.”
I got sad for a moment but I remembered everybody else’s compliments and they were important to me as well so I blushed hotly and said. “ Thank you.”
I looked at Anna. Her mouth was open and her eyes were angry now.
Then she walked over to us, totally I’m-the-hit-of-the-event-not-you style.
“ Hmph, told you she’s a hooker.” Anna said, especially to Syaoran. Then she walked off with Leo.
“ Don’t listen to her.” Syaoran said, putting his arm around me AGAIN though it was only for 5 seconds. I blushed deeply.
“ Okay girls, come here.” Ms. Mizuki shouted, with her was Rosita.
“ We are going to put a special presentation for the boys. You’re all going to learn Colombian dancing! Because Rosita is well trained for that.” Ms. Mizuki said.
Then we all crowded around her and watched her dance and we trained ourselves too.
--------------------------------( NORMAL POV) -------------------------------------------------- -
“ Boys keep your volumes down.” Mr. Okina announced.
The music was turned on. It was Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie playing.
The girls were in their places.
“ Wow, look at Sakura and Rika. They’re so good!” Yamazaki exclaimed.
Li had to agree. Sakura’s movements were graceful and in time.
When Li made eye contact with Sakura, they blushed again.
Sakura looked elsewhere while doing her dance.
Then the dance ended, and the guys whistled and clapped.
A/N: Fast forward to a week later okay. Still in Bahamas.
Okay, I think I made good impressions on Syaoran enough, I mean I didn’t flirt, but at least he was really nice to me. A good friend. Too bad we can’t be anymore than that. Well I want to be more than that, unfortunately that’s in my dreams.
I already felt threatened yesterday while we were in the changing room, I heard Nicole talking to her friends,
“ So, Nicole, how have your plans been?” Maya asked her.
“ It’s not working. It looked like he didn’t see me at all.” Nicole said, while brushing her hair in front of the mirror.
“ Don’t worry honey, he will be all yours soon. You just have to be open to him more. Then Syaoran Li will be all yours.” One of them comforted Nicole.
That shook me.
Oh no, Syaoran will probably get attracted to her. Even though Anna and him don’t speak to each other. When the other girls are nice to him, he is nice back, he doesn’t hold that kind of hate towards people, unless its to do with him.
We are having dinner now, it is really cool that we don’t have the same menu every night now. Tonight the tables are all joined together, so we would eat our dinner together.
I was hoping Syaoran would sit next to me. He did yesterday, but it was because there was no where else to sit.
There was an empty seat next to him, I decided to sit there, but Nicole moved in faster than me.
She didn’t see me, thank goodness, I don’t want to make a new reason for them to hate me now.
So I just sat the opposite of them. Watching them laugh and talk.
When dinner was over, we had one hour to hang out and talk with our friends before we were sent to bed, tonight will be our second last night before we got back to Japan.
When we were in bed, I sat thinking. Will I go back to what I was wearing before in Tomoeda, will my hair will be messy and uncombed again? I don’t know. Because I really changed when we went on this trip. I gained confidence and I was being nice to everyone, and they were nice to me, excluding Anna and her cronies of course.
I couldn’t sleep thinking about it. Then I had the urge to sneak out.
I silently crept out of my bed. Put on a silver bikini, Tomoyo’s creation, obviously, and covered it with a large shirt. I grabbed a towel and a torch and headed out.
I wasn’t worried when I decided to go for a swim alone in the beach. I mean nobody else can see me. So I wasn’t embarrassed.
I took off my shirt, left all my towels and torches a short distance from where the waves meet the shore, and I entered the water.
It felt great to swim freely without anybody staring at you. I wasn’t stupid so I didn’t swim far off the shore, only where I can still stand.
It was getting cold. I shivered, a tingle went through my spine. I wonder what Syaoran is doing? Is he sleeping?
Then somebody came out of the water and grabbed me.
“ AA—mmph” I tried to scream, but the person put his or her hand over my mouth.
“ Ssh!” The person said. “ You will wake everybody up.” It’s a guy now I can tell.
He let go of me, and slowly I turned around. And what I say sent my heart thundering beats.
Syaoran.
“ Hehe, got you there didn’t I?” He teased.
“ You’re so mean!” I accused.
“ Hey hey I’m sorry.” He tried to shut me up. I was getting loud.
“ Hmph.” I replied.
“ Okay, so what you doing out here all alone? Unaccompanied?” He asked, his voice all husky and serious.
“ I couldn’t sleep.” I replied.
“ Me too. That’s why I came. I saw you, and then I decided to give you a little scare.” He explained, grinning.
“ It worked. Unfortunately.” I said.
“ Come on let’s get out of the water. Both of us will die of freezing.” He said.
He made for the shore first, then I followed him.
He must have noticed I was in a bikini because he was staring at me, not at my face but lower down. I blushed and put on my large shirt.
He told me to sit with him. So I did.
“ So are you enjoying this trip?” I asked, breaking the silence.
“ Yeah.” He said. “ I’m sure you are.”
“ Oh yeah I am.” I said.
“ You like totally changed, not your inside of course, you still are the same Sakura, but you know, the outside.” He said.
I blushed and looked away. But I could tell he was looking at me in that way I’ve never seen him look before, at least not at me.
“ So is that bad?” I asked him.
“ No, it’s not.” He replied. “ I never knew you were such a good outdoor and sports person, and a great dancer.”
“ Thanks.” I said.
“ No problem.” He replied.
If only you could confess me now. I really really like you Syaoran, since you came, and you never see me until now. I wanted to say that to him.
I noticed our face was inches apart now.
Then I realized, this was the only chance and I will never have another one again.
I went maniac and couldn’t stop my actions.
I kissed him. On the lips.
It was only for seconds, but he didn’t respond. He just looked at me shocked. I realized I made the biggest mistake in my life. I couldn’t face him anymore, so I ran away from him. Tears running out of my eyes when I came to bed.
How could I be so stupid? Did I actually think I had a chance?
He doesn’t love me. He never will. I said it to myself over and over again as I cried to sleep.
