Chaptre 1: Shall we dance?

 

So he's my classmate, so what? I mean, he's just a classmate of mine and nothing else….i guess. What makes him so special? Is it because of his chestnut colored hair? His amber eyes? His warm smile? Or the way he blushes? The magnificent unruly hair that makes him look like the hottest boy alive? Wait, he IS the hottest boy alive in Tomoeda University!

 

So does this mean I like him? Why do I blush every time I'm near him? Okay….maybe I do like him but….what now? Suddenly he caught me staring at him, I looked the other way around as fast as I could, I hope it wasn't obvious that I was staring at him!

 

I was actually observing him, trying to see why I felt weird whenever he was around me. Sakura...Sakura...SAKURA!!! “Wuh…?” Sakura lazily replied. “Ms. Kinomoto, were you even listening???” Ms. Terada yelled. “Um, yes ma'm!” I replied as fast as I could.

 

Math class has always been a bummer, it's my weakness and my worst subject ever. My mind goes blank as soon as I see all those numbers. I will and always fail the darn subject. So, at times, I just don't listen and I often shift to daydreaming….Maybe the reason why Syaoran was looking at me a while ago was maybe because Ms. Terada was calling my attention….thought he stared at me just because he likes too…

 

After math class, we have a rehearsal for the dance for our school program. Dancing…the thought of it just makes me feel nervous. Today, Ms. Mizuki will assign us to our dance partners. I'll admit, I'm bad at dancing, very bad, no- worse than bad. Just wish myself luck that my partner won't end up in the hospital all because of my “killer” moves.

 

“Sakura Kinomoto?” Ms. Mizuki called. “Yes ma'm?” I replied. “Your dance partner would be….Li Syaoran” She said. “NaNi?!?!?!?” I shouted shocked. Girls started whispering to each other and there were lots of murmuring. Oh! The horror!!! Of all the many people in the world, why'd it have to be him?!?! Why?!?! He's my dance partner!!! The thought of it just makes me feel so nervous, I mean, I'm so bad in dancing, actually, worse! And now I had to be paired up with him?! I wanna save myself from humiliation but I just couldn't, he's my partner, I couldn't do anything about it.

 

I could see the headlines in the newspaper tomorrow: Sakura kills hottest guy alive, Li Syaoran just because of dancing…everyone in chaos! Pandemonium!!! I can imagine some girls mourning, and an angry mob planning to assassinate me!

 

I blushed as he made his way to me. “Now to start off, you & your partner would have to hold hands” Ms. Mizuki said to all the couples. He reached his hand out to me, I blushed as both of us held hands, but he doesn't seem to mind though. Girls were giving me death glares. I gulped. I examined his face once again, He always seems so serious….well not really. At times, he smiles, the smile that makes me melt. He's one of the jocks in our class yet, he's so humble and quite funny at times. He'd always tease some of the girls in our class, but in a good way, not the bullying kind of tease. He always made them smile.

 

He's a heartthrob so it's hard trying to focus on the dance because all the girls keep on looking at me and mostly at him. I bet they're jealous and they envy me but it's not my fault right? Just because I'm his partner, doesn't mean it makes me anything more special to him…right? I felt like I wasn't worthy to be his partner, I mean, he's a heartthrob for crying out loud! And me? I'm just no one!

 

Let me tell you something about him, he's the campus heartthrob and he actually has his own fan club!!! And for the record, every girl in school is in love with him! I mean, I really am not worthy; a girl like me with emerald eyes and auburn hair that always seems to be messy isn't worthy enough to dance with the campus heartthrob, Li Syaoran.

 

Ms. Mizuki started teaching us the dance steps and trust me, I kept on tripping on and hurting Syaoran! I sucked so badly in dancing that I felt humiliated being his partner. Other girls would die to be in my place! Actually, I think they're planning to kill me later…yikes!

 

“Sakura, what's wrong with you?! Why are you so clumsy in dancing?!” Ms. Mizuki asked me after practice. “Gomen Ms. Mizuki, it's just that I'm not gifted in it, I just can't seem to do well in it, Gomen!” Sakura apologized. “So I guess you'll need to practice a lot Sakura” Ms. Mizuki said. “Yes Ma'm!” Sakura answered with pure determination in her emerald eyes.

 

I was walking around school since I didn't want to go home yet. School's such a fun place to stay, I just wished I lived here in Tomoeda University. I mean, this is where all things happen! Just then, I heard girls screaming, I bet they're screaming for Syaoran. Again. I mean, can't they just give him some privacy?!?! They're like stalkers, wait, they ARE stalkers! Wow, I pity Syaoran…guess it must be hard living with girls like those everyday of your life! Poor guy…

 

“Watch out!!!!!!!!” A familiar voice shouted. “Huh…?!” Just then, I felt something hit my head so hard…!

 

The next thing I knew, I was in the clinic. “You passed out” The nurse explained. `I did?!?!” I yelled surprised. “You got hit in the head so hard” Nurse said, “By him” She pointed at someone behind my back. I turned around to only see Syaoran, again! So he was the one who hit me! “Gomen” He apologized. “Um…yeah...uh…” I replied with a faint smile. “He brought you here, running away from all those girls chasing him” nurse said. “Oh, Arigato…” I replied while blushing. “No problem” He said with a shy smile that even made me blush more. “He will walk you home; you can't just walk home alone with that severe headache.” Nurse said. “He will?!” I asked as my heart skipped a heartbeat. “Yeah, well we better get going now” Syaoran said standing up. I was freaking out.

 

“Um, ok…” I replied not even sure why I agreed with him walking me home. And besides, girls would be chasing us! We made our way out the clinic but we had to move fast so the girls wouldn't run after us. “Whew! That was so close!” I said relieved. “Yeah, now let's go” He said. So there we were walking in the road filled with cherry blossoms. Alone. Together. “Daijobu?” He asked looking quite concerned. I just nodded my head. “Tell me, what really happened? I missed the whole thing.” I asked. “Uh…about that…” he said feeling quite uneasy, “You see, I hit you with a soccer ball, then you passed out” he explained, “But I didn't mean to! It was all just an accident! Gomen!”

 

“Okay, I understand, I forgive you!” I said with a smile. Silence soon governed the whole scene. We were absolutely silent, not a single word said. Such an awkward moment. Everything felt awkward with him. We had nothing to say to each other since we weren't close and all…

 

“Well, thanks for walking me home” Sakura thanked him after that very awkward and silent situation. “Yeah, I better go now” Syaoran said waving goodbye to me. “Whew!” I said to myself relieved after closing the door. That was weird, i felt weird having him around…well at least his fan club wasn't there because If they were, I'd be dead by now.
