Idly tapping and rolling her red pen against her bottom jaw, with sinking eyes and head resting on her palm, Sakura was knocked to reality with a jolt when Tomoyo had began snapping her fingers in front of Sakura's face. Startled, Sakura glimpsed at the papers being passed down the row.
"Oh," she mustered and took one before passing it to the girl behind her.cast her a sympathetic glance, "You look exhausted! All-nighter phone calls, I assume?" Sakura nodded and she went on. "Who called you this time?"her position before, Sakura put on a villainous smile, "Oh, the usual ones. Although some people call too much that I actually regret giving them my number!"
"Well, hopefully lunch will cheer you up," Tomoyo giggled, Sakura rolled her eyes and smiled.Her playtime-when Sakura gets to exercise her cunning and flirtatious behavior. Stifling a huge yawn, Sakura shook her head and, thus, her eyes landed onto one of the very few guys who actually paid attention in class as if education was important . A different and new feeling overtook Sakura, watching Syaoran Li like she did, he was a very interesting project she had gotten into, though she had to give the outcast some credit for his peculiar hold on her. But he was smarter than that, she knew, so should he not already have a guess on what the outcome of their date would be based on Sakura's reputation? arched a brow, either he's really just as clueless as the rest of them or he really doesn't carebut why should I be worried? Sakura shrugged and got back to her doodles. A few seconds later a crumpled piece of paper came flying to her desk.by the second time, Sakura opened it up to read the words, 'You were staring again,' written on it from-"Syaoran?!" Sakura quickly narrowed her eyes at him but he wasn't even paying her annoyed look no heed. Instead, he seemed to have chuckled and shook his head, Sakura's cheeks flared up and grinded her teeth onto her pen before the bell rang and-
"Shoot!" Sakura exclaimed when the ink had exploded and gotten over her hands, paper, and shirt.looked over her shoulder, "Oh no, do you need some help?" she asked. Sakura shook her head and waved for her to go.
"No, no, it's alright, I got it," she said, fetching her belongings and stuffing them into her bag. "I think I'll just go wash this off in the bathroom. Why don't I meet you outside?"Tomoyo hoisted her bag by her hip and looked to the door where Eriol was waiting, her face beamed, "Alright, I'll save you some lunch, okay?" Sakura nodded and both parted.as Sakura was stepping out the bathroom to meet Tomoyo for lunch, she stopped by the water fountain to get a quick drink. Leaning down, her mouth blinked open but her hand was beaten to the lever by someone else's.
"Huh," Sakura's eyes wandered up and saw Syaoran standing there. A corner of her lips curled to a small smile as she stood straight. "You know we really have to stop meeting like this," she said, holding the note Syaoran threw her. Syaoran chuckled.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Kinomoto, but like I said if you have something to say just say it, no need to stare," he replied coolly. Sakura was about to reply when his hand-out of the blue-started to reach for her cheek and Sakura, surprisingly pulled back. "Oh, sorry! There's," he gestured to his own cheek, "you have something, on your cheek."Sakura ran her finger to the spot and discovered some pen ink she had missed, "Oh! Heh, uh, must've missed it"shrugged and pulled on his bag.suddenly realized how shaky her hands had gotten. She was losing her cool, that can't be! She had to recollect herself-it was only Syaoran, anyway. And without hesitating Sakura has asked him to join her for lunch, and he accepted just as casually, and Sakura deduced that she wouldn't mind spending lunch with just one boy.
"Hey, guys, I hope you don't mind I brought some company," Sakura said, placing her stuff onto the table. Eriol and Tomoyo turned their heads and were rather shocked, to say the least, expecting to see a rowdy tail of boys behind Sakura but found not only one timid boy, no, it had to be Li Syaoran. They couldn't help but watch with attentive eyes as Sakura gestured for him to sit next to her.quickly spotted the deck of cards Eriol held, "Magic cards?"
"You-you play?" Eriol asked, rather astonished. Syaoran nodded and Eriol beamed. "Unbelievable! I thought I was a freak since everyone I knew doesn't own a single card! Are you any good?"a small wave of his hand, Syaoran replied, "Not great, but I'm getting the hang of it." Eriol exclaimed in joy.
"Looks like Eriol found himself a new playing buddy," Tomoyo softly giggled, smiling to Syaoran. "Wow, I would have never guessed this about you, Li-san, I always thought you were kind of-well, uh, considering you kept to yourself I-hah" Tomoyo blushed in embarrassment. Sakura blinked.chuckled, "No worries, it's only natural for people to think that, although I think anyone should just anyone before they get to know them," he said, adding a small wink towards Sakura's way. Sakura pulled her head back, hesitated to speak, although she could feel the smile her lips were forming as she observed how warmly her friends had accepted Syaoran and how comfortable he talked.
Okay. He fits in with my friends, so he's not that bad, Sakura second-guessed herself, reaching in and taking her lunch out of her bag. Syaoran caught sight of the small plum and bag of chips in her hands.
"Is that all you're going to eat?" He asked, Sakura nodded.
"This is what I always eat, is something wrong with these?"both their lunches, Syaoran's tone changed, "Well, if you'll prefer starving yourself then no, there's nothing wrong. Here," he thrust half his sandwich in her hand, grinning, "I swear, Ms. Kinomoto, come the night of our date I'll take you somewhere to eat where you'll eat stupid!" Sakura returned his smile courteously and took a bite of the sandwich.from the loner to Ms. Popularity, Tomoyo stayed silent and observed the two converse until the lunch bell rang and the four students once again began to go their own separate ways. Receiving a playful nudge from Eriol, she smiled widely as he ran to get to class before turning to Syaoran and Sakura.
"Well, thanks for lunch," Syaoran simply nodded, turning back into the distant person he was and trudging off to class alone.gave a small grunt, seeming to turn back to the charismatic player she was and strolling off to class herself, causing a huge ruckus with the passerby boys with the flick of her hair. Bemused, Tomoyo hurried to catch up with her best friend, but no sooner did she catch up did Sakura ask her opinion on Syaoran.
"Not what I thought," Tomoyo replied.
"What kind of response is that?" Sakura exclaimed and crossed her arms. "I'm risking a lot to go out with a guy like that Syaoran, people will wonder, people like you! " Tomoyo laughed and shook her head. "Well, the verdict?"
"He could use some social skills but Syaoran is not so bad, so don't worry," she assured her friend as they got into the classroom. "My, Sakura, this is the first I've seen you care like so with a boy you're going out withis he perhaps getting under your skin?"looked at her as if she grew a second head, "Under my skin?" she laughed half-heartedly. "With all due respect, Li Syaoran could be a good candidate for a friend but that's all he's ever going to be-a candidate, a week with him will only prove that I can simply take any guy-even a loner like him-and have him adore me." she smirked.
"Oh," she mustered and took one before passing it to the girl behind her.cast her a sympathetic glance, "You look exhausted! All-nighter phone calls, I assume?" Sakura nodded and she went on.
