A Love Story - Chapter Five

A Love Story- By Aneko-chan

Summary: Kinomoto Sakura was a 16 year old tomboy and a very beautiful one. Even though she was a tomboy, the whole male population would swoon around her and would ask her out. She rejects them. But then one day her father tells her that she’s engaged to a certain boy called Li Syaoran.

Chapter Five- School part II

After lunch break, Sakura went to Chemistry class and Syaoran went to Global Studies. In Global studies, Syaoran was sitting near the window wondering what Yumiko meant by changing the engagement.

She must be playing around with us…there’s no way she can change it…unless she goes to beg mother Syaoran thought.

Then his eyes widened. Maybe she WAS going to beg his mother to cancel the engagement and then Yumiko could then touch him all she wants! Then a minute later, the classroom door slid open, and in comes Yumiko with her gang friends. Yumiko’s top four buttons were unbuttoned and showing too much cleavage and her mini skirt was wayyyy mini (she’s a bad girl so she doesn’t wear the school uniform). Syaoran snorted when Yumiko waved and gave him an imaginary kiss. He turned away from her and looked out the window.

Yumiko walked with her gang friends near Syaoran’s desk. Yumiko smiled and sat behind him and her friends sat near her. Syaoran glared at her and turned to copy the notes and listen to the teacher.

Xxxxxxx In Sakura’s class xxxxxxx

Sakura yawned. Chemistry was really boring. She thought about how Yumiko said something about changing the engagement between them.

If only she could… Sakura thought and yawned more.

“Miss Kinomoto! Would you like to do this problem for the whole class!” Aoyama-sensei asked, pissed at Sakura who’s yawning too much. Sakura stared at the problem, scared. How would she be able to answer it? She sighed and was about to pretend she knows the answer when…

“!”

Saved by the bell!

Sakura was so happy and quickly got her bag and left the room. Her next class is math. Sakura groaned. How she hate math. She can’t even get the problems right!

Grrrr……why can’t I ever understand math! She yelled in her mind. She walked to her class and noticed that Syaoran was already there. She sighed.

Maybe he’s good in math…but...nah…I don’t need his help… She thought silently and sat next to him. They both didn’t speak with each other and silence were between the whole class. Everyone in the class sweatdropped. How scary they seem when Syaoran and Sakura are quiet! Then someone broke the silence.

“So…we’re in the same class, huh?” Syaoran said, making Sakura turn to her left and stared at him and then shrugged her shoulders.

“Yeah…I guess so…” She said nervously, then turned her face back to the front. Syaoran looked at her, confused.

Huh? What’s wrong with her? She seems so nervous all of a sudden… He thought, eyeing her. Meanwhile, class started and Sakura felt his eyes on her. She starts to get uncomfortable with him staring. She then turns to him.

“Can you stop staring at me? It’s really bothering me.” Sakura said, giving him an annoyed look. Syaoran looked at her, frowning.

“Why are you so nervous when you spoke to me like that?” He asked. Then his frown turned to a smirk.

“Don’t tell me…you like me?” Syaoran said, loudly for the class to hear so he could tease her. Sakura’s eyes widened. She quickly stood up from her seat.

“YEAH RIGHT! WHO COULD LIKE AN ARROGANT AND PERVERTED GUY LIKE YOU?” She yelled out, making them the main scene for the whole class to see. The whole class sweatdrops. Even the teacher. Syaoran stared at her calmly.

“Well…a lot of people likes me…want to hear the whole list? From top to bottom?” Syaoran said, counting how many people with his fingers. Sakura stared at him dotted eyed. The whole class stared at them, with automatically big sweatdrops on their heads.

“UH…NO THANKS!” She said, and sweatdrops when she still sees him counting with his fingers.

“I SAID NO THANKS!” She yelled at him, making Syaoran stare at her.

“You should keep your temper down or else WHO knows what would happen to you in school?” He said. Sakura stared at him, her eyes wide. She understood his meaning. She might get suspended or either EXPELLED for yelling in a classroom! Sakura gasped and looked at the class. They were looking at her and Syaoran. She quickly sat back down.

“Uh…let’s continue the lesson now, should we?” Sakura said, sweating everywhere. Matsumoto-sensei looked at Sakura and then pointed to the problem that was on the board.

“Well, Miss Kinomoto, since you’ve got such a big voice, why don’t you help solve this problem for the entire class?” Matsumoto-sensei said, pointing towards the first problem. Sakura’s eyes widened.

Oh great…why did he has to choose me? She thought, then nervously stood up and went up to the board. She took a piece of chalk and then her hand shook lightly. No one noticed the slight shaking of her hand except for Syaoran. Syaoran raised his hand.

“Yes, Mr. Li?” Matsumoto-sensei said.

“I would like to do the next problem.”

“Sure. Go ahead.” Syaoran nodded and got up and walked up to the board where Sakura is still scared out of her wits. Syaoran quickly walked up to her and started writing the next problem’s answer.

“3x-2” He whispered for only Sakura to hear. Sakura looked at Syaoran and nodded lightly. She wrote it on the board and quickly went back to her seat. Syaoran finished his answer and then walked back to his seat. On the way, Sakura mouthed a ‘thank you’ to Syaoran. He mouthed back ‘no problem’. Sakura gave him a small smile.

Matsumoto-sensei looked surprised at Sakura’s answer. Sakura was usually bad at math, she usually never solve any problem correctly.

Hm…maybe she finally understand math now… Matsumoto-sensei thought. Then he looked at Syaoran’s answer. He smiles.

Atleast there are problems solved… He thought and then checked them.

“Correct. Both problems are correct. I’m really surprised Miss Kinomoto. I hope you continue being this cooperative. Excellent job, Mr. Li.” Matsumoto-sensei said, nodding happily. Sakura and Syaoran gave a small smile and a smirk. Both they’re minds are thinking different things.

Whew…thank goodness…saved by Syaoran... Sakura thought happily.

Heh heh…Math is soooo easy…I can’t believe she doesn’t even know a simple problem like that! Syaoran thought happily. In his mind, he is smirking.

Xxxxxxx After school xxxxxxx

“Sakura-chan! Let’s go shopping!” Tomoyo squealed. Sakura sweatdrops.

“Uh…I don’t think so…” Sakura said and quickly tried to walk away from Tomoyo. Tomoyo quickly caught the back of Sakura’s uniform. Tomoyo gave Sakura a death glare.

“Oh…Sakura-chan…you are going...and that’s that!” Tomoyo said in a low tone, making Sakura scared out of her wits. She then turns to Tomoyo and gave her a cold glare.

“Did you know what happened last time when we both went shopping? You were squealing so much about what kind of fabric fit me and then we go home and then the next day you make dozens of clothes and outfits for me and you forced me to wear them and take a walk outside so I did, and you know what happened? Guys started staring and won’t stop staring. And don’t you remember? I hate showing off my body and also I find the staring very annoying.” Sakura said, making an angry face. Tomoyo shows Sakura her evil big grin. Sakura’s eyes widen. She recognized that grin.

“Oh no…I’m definitely not going shopping with you, you evil maniac.” She said and tried to run home but Tomoyo was still holding Sakura’s back part of her uniform. Tomoyo dragged Sakura all the way towards the mall.

“You will go shopping with me, my dear Sakura-chan. Or else this time I’ll make you walk outside with the outfits I worked so hard on for you and watch the guys make lovey dovey faces at you.” Tomoyo said, still dragging Sakura. Sakura rolled her eyes.

“You said that last time and you still made me walk outside with your expensive outfits…” Sakura said, sighing. Tomoyo stopped dragging Sakura and Sakura was able to get out of Tomoyo’s grasp on her uniform. They were at the mall now.

“Let’s go now, Sakura-chan!” Tomoyo said happily and grasped Sakura’s hand and pulled her all the way inside the mall and into the clothes shop.

“OH SAKURA-CHAN! THIS WOULD LOOK GREAT ON YOU!” Tomoyo yelled out squealing, getting clothes everywhere and showing them to Sakura and then she started measuring Sakura, while Sakura is standing there staring at her hyperactive cousin and best friend. Then Sakura’s cell phone rang. Sakura looked at the caller. She sighed. Syaoran.

Now how the hell did he get my number? Sakura thought and put the phone to her ear.

“Sakura here. What do you want?” Sakura said in an annoyed tone.

“Hey Sakura! I need your help! NOT LATER! NOW!” Syaoran’s voice roared through the phone. Sakura quickly took it away from her ear and could still hear him.

“Don’t YELL! And what help? Use your martial arts.”

“NO! NO CAN DO! I NEED YOUR HELP NOW!” Sakura stared at the phone.

“I said what help?”

“HELP TO GET THESE FREAKING GIRLS AWAY FROM ME!” Sakura blinked and stared at the phone even more.

“Well…just do what you usually do…say bad stuff…or glare at them…”

“THEY’RE IGNORING MY GLARES AND CURSES! AN---GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!” Syaoran yelled out. Sakura stared at the phone oddly.

“Did you just say to me get the hell away from you?”

“NO! THAT WAS A FREAKING ANNOYING GIRL!”

“Uh…okay…sure…I’ll be there…where are you now?”

“I’m at PENGUIN PARK!!”

“I’ll be there in 10 minutes.” Sakura said and quickly hanged up. She turned to Tomoyo who was still fidgeting for clothes.

“Tomoyo-chan! I’ve to help the jerk with something! Are you okay by yourself?” Sakura yelled out. Tomoyo looked at Sakura. She smiled.

“Of course Sakura-chan. You’re going to help your fiancee right? So I’ll let you leave this time…” Tomoyo said, smiling. Sakura smiled back.

“Thanks!” She said and quickly left the mall. Tomoyo grinned. She quickly got out a video camera out of no where.

“Time to record Sakura-chan’s every move…” Tomoyo said, like she was some kind of spy. She quickly went out the mall to secretly follow Sakura. Sakura entered Penguin Park and saw Syaoran surrounded by girls. She sighed.

“Syaoran-kun! Please let me hug you only once!”

“NO! I wanna hug him first!”

“NO! If you girls hug him then I get to hug him!”

“He’s mine! Don’t anyone of you touch him!” Sakura knew that voice anywhere. She turned to see Yumiko, fuming with jealousy. Sakura glared at her. Yumiko didn’t seem to notice Sakura there. Yumiko went over to Syaoran who was glaring coldly at her.

“Hi Syaoran-kun.”

“Get the hell away from me.”

“Awww….don’t be so mean towards your girlfriend…”

“Who said that you’re my girlfriend?”

“Well…didn’t you say so yourself?”

“No.”

“But I heard it myself.”

“Cut the crap and get away from me.”

“Fine. I’ll come closer.”

“Don’t you dare or else.”

“Or else what?”

“Or else you deal with me.” Yumiko and Syaoran turn to see Sakura, her hands in fists ready to punch someone. Syaoran sighed in relief. Yumiko growled.

“Oh really? What are you gonna do to me?” Yumiko said, walking up to Sakura. Sakura smirked.

“This.” Sakura pretended to punch her hard in the face. Yumiko screamed and suddenly she fainted. Everyone stared at her unconscious body on the ground. Syaoran smirked. Sakura turned towards the group of girls.

“Listen to this. I’m Syaoran’s fiancee. None of you are allowed to touch or hug him except for me. If I spot a girl trying to do that, they might end up in the hospital for two months. So don’t play with me.” Sakura said, glaring at each and every one of the girls. The girls gulped.

“U-Uh…sure thing…K-Kinomoto-san…”

“W-We’ll never lay a hand on him again…” Sakura smiled.

“Alright then. Shouldn’t you leave now?” Then the whole crowd of girls started running home. Sakura turned to Syaoran, frowning. Syaoran smirked.

“Thanks.” Syaoran said. Sakura shrugged her shoulders.

“No problem. I’m used to help out people like this.” Sakura said, giving him a grin.

“By the way…you were helpless out there. I thought you were scary enough to scare them away.” Sakura said. Syaoran’s eyes widened.

“WHAT? I can’t hit girls. If I do that, then I’m not a man, aren’t I?” He said, smirking. Sakura rolled her eyes.

“In my calculations…you’re not a man…you’re a wimp.” Sakura said.

“Then what are you?”

“A woman who’s brave enough to stand up to some wimpy girls. Not like you.”

“Oh?” Syaoran said, his eyebrow raised, and then he smirked. Then Tomoyo jumped out of the bushes, grinning happily.

“I’VE GOT THE WHOLE THING ON TAPE!” Tomoyo yelled out, making Sakura and Syaoran sweatdrop. Then thoughts rushed towards their heads.

Oh no…she taped me saying that Syaoran’s only for me to hug and touch! Sakura thought, shocked.

Oh no…she taped me wimping out on those girls! Syaoran thought, shocked. Then Sakura and Syaoran ran towards Tomoyo.

“GET HER!” They both yelled out trying to get the tape. Tomoyo saw them running towards her and she quickly ran the other way.

“!” Tomoyo yelled out, running away from them.

“YOU’LL NEVER GET THIS TAPE AWAY FROM ME! NEVER!” Tomoyo yelled out and Sakura and Syaoran still chasing her. Not going to give up easily.

“Here I am. Tomoeda, Japan. Now to find my cute little cousin.” He said and went to call a taxi.
