Chameleon - Chapter Three

If you hadn’t guessed what happened to Syaoran Li, then you have to pay more attention. If you did, snaps for you A/N: this is an inside joke of which friends of mine made up ok? Don’t mind it. Have you watched those teen movies?

What happens to guys who are hot, athletic and smart? If you still don’t get it yet I’ll tell you. Syaoran Li, within a week has become the most popular guy in school. In a week, he already got in the soccer team, got 99 right on our Maths test, has girls chasing him everywhere now, establishing “The Syaoran Li Fanatics” fan club.

Everyday, it would just be the same old habit for Li, as I observe. He comes to school, girls flirt and chase him until the bell rings. Lunch and break everybody crowds around him, listens to him. Then there would be the last two lessons and it would be the end of school and Syaoran Li goes home.

What? I am jealous, you say? I don’t even know this guy, why would I feel anything other than sympathy for this guy who has no time for tranquility for himself. I don’t know the answer to that, because we haven’t spoken since he gave me the tissue. I didn’t even say thank you. Oops. He seems a very interesting guy to me. A guy that has more on his mind other than focusing only on girls and soccer.

If I do have feelings for him? Would I go up to him right now and start talking to him and then watch me flirt? No. Instead I watch on the background, wait and see what happens to the man. I know, so smart of me. Wait a minute, Does this mean I like him? I’m so confused now…

-----------------------------------------(Later)----------------------------------------------------------

We are in PE now. Tomoyo and me are hanging out in the changing rooms watching the girls change. I do feel envious though. The popular girls and Tomoyo have such great bodies. I want to have a great figure.

The other girls wear short shorts, and our school P.E shirt. Me, I just wear our school P. E shirt and baggy long pants. I get in trouble for this every single time.

“Kinomoto! Don’t tell me you forgot your shorts again, in fact you never seem to remember your shorts.” Coach Ayuko frowned, shaking her head.

We were all sitting on the benches in the gym now, where the teachers are taking attendance, and we will be given instructions what sport we are doing now, currently soccer.

Coach Ayuko walked away to scold another boy who refused to take off his beanie and bling bling during P.E.

I heard a comment that’s supposedly to be a whisper, but they said it loudly rather.

“Maybe, she has some kind of skin cancer, too scared to show us off her body.” Cassie sniggered, yes another bitchy replica of Ana, to Nicole and Ana and the rest of their clones.

“ Yeah, probably some kind of wart and it will form a hole through Kinomoto when she’s in the sun.” Nicole laughed, looking at Anna who laughed.

See! That’s what pisses me off. The way they are so freaking scared to show what they think, their opinions and true feelings. They are just robots, who follow Anna. If Anna laughs, they laugh. When Anna decides to weak short skirts, they follow along.

I bet if Anna jumps off a cliff, these clones would follow her and jump as well without a second thought.

I just ignored them.

At the field, as we were watchingm the boys are already warming up. Obviously, the popular guys like Ken and Musashi, are doing sit-ups without their shirts on. Apparently, that got the attention and excited the girls. I noticed something strange though.

Li wasn’t taking his shirt off. Okay, I don’t mean that I want him to take his shirt off, but a part of me still flickered to see what’s under his shirt.

Coach Nakajima, Coach Ayuko’s colleague in P.E, was shouting at the boys now.

“COME ON, faster, Ken, that’s way too slow for you. Yamazaki, stop daydreaming.” He shouted.

All the girls stared and sighs when they see all the guys, especially Li warming up. It was getting really hot now.

That’s when the big moment of the girls have been waiting for happened.

Li, Syaoran took off his shirt.

“Oh My God! He’s damn yummy!” Anna licked her lips, making a purr, causing her cronies to laugh at the same time staring at Li in awe.

I will not disagree, because my eyes could not move away from the sight in front of me.

Li’s body is so gorgeous. His arm muscles stick out a bit, but its his stomach that wows me. He has killer abs! He’s also not too hairy. I feel very hot now.

Li, not noticing the girls in trance in front of him, suddenly he looked at me.

I looked away, he probably thinks I’m a weirdo now because he caught me staring at him.

The gym class ended with all the girls gleamy eyed giggling together, obviously still hasn’t finished on their ranting over Li Syaoran the hottie.

Now it’s after school, Tomoyo is going off to cheer practice. She seemed very excited and eager. I just didn’t say anything except “good luck” and “hope you have fun.”

She left me standing there alone at my lockers.

I walked thinking a lot of my lifeless life, I’ve alienated myself from myself. I was too scared and too shy to join activities like that. I was too scared I’m gonna embarrass myself.

As I was deep in thought, I bumped into somebody. I dropped the books, I didn’t know who he is. But he bent down to pick up my pieces of paper.

“It’s okay, I can do it myself you don’t need to---.” I stopped talking. I was drowned into somebody else’s eyes of fiery amber.

It was Li Syaoran.

I stopped moving, he looked down and continue picking up the rest of my papers.

As he gave the papers to me, when our hands touch. A warm mushy feeling came over me.

“T- - Thank you.” I stammered.

“No problem.” Was his gentle, quiet reply. And he walked away, leaving me there.

I floated home. I could not stop thinking about him. As I lay down on my bed that night, still thinking about those amber eyes.

It was then I realized that I like him, more than a friend. But I don’t even know the guy, how can I just keep thinking of him. Could it possibly be love?
