Author's Note: I suggest you download Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me.Perfect song for this story, plus it was in the movie and it really did some good! ;D I just wanna do this story 'cause the movie was ok…it just needed a little remodeling, and I also thought, Sakura and Syaoran, would fit into the character roles pretty well. I might twist the plot too…well let's just say, I was inspired by the movie.
Disclaimer: I do not, unfortunately, own the characters of Cardcaptor Saukra.
Ok before I start the story, you readers need to that:
- they're both in their final year of college
- Syaoran is 18, Sakura's 17
- Some characters will be made up by me
- Mei Lin in this story is a baddie, and she's not related to Syaoran
- Tomoyo is not Sakura's friend at the beginning
- Story freezes are when the scene just pauses and the narrator interrupts to fill you in, will only happen in the first couple of chapters, so don't worry if you hate 'em, it's just like the movies! X3
- .: insert something here:. Means a scene change, or POV change
Chapter 1 – The Bet
.: In the hallways – Narrator's POV :.
Syaoran. Describe him in a one word. That's pretty much impossible. He's an all-star soccer player, all-round student, and pretty much the most popular guy in the whole school. Yeah yeah, you all probably know why. He's hot. Yep, definitely a hottie; a defined muscular slim body, messy chocolate brown hair, and determined sexy amber eyes.
"Hey man! Syaoran, what's up? How's the all-star doing?"
"Hey Eriol! Nothing much, just spent the whole spring break in America."
- Pause (Story freeze) -
Eriol, total cuttie. Blue hair and blue eyes framed by thin rimmed glasses. A very classy gentleman but a little too sensitive.
- Un-pause -
"Awesome!"
"Not really…"
"Why?"
"I just found out that I'm in an arranged marriage with a girl named Mei Lin."
"Are you shitting me?!"
"Does it look like it?"
"Awww man, I'm really sorry."
"That's not even the worst part…"
"What next?" "She's going to be attending this high school from now on."
"Holy crap! Man, I'm feeling really sorry for you."
"Yeah yeah, just don't tell the other guys I'm engaged."
"Ok cool. Hey, speaking of which here they come."
- Pause (Story freeze) -
Takeo: hair dyed blond, muscular, and also part of the soccer team. Cocky would define him the best, still hot though not as smart as Syaoran. Yuuhi: purple spiked hair, not as fit as the others, slim, and not quite outspoken as the others.
Syaoran Li, Eriol Hiiragizawa, Takeo Shizumi and Yuuhi Mizuho; those four were the top jocks at Tomoeda High School Academy. No one messed with them, and no one ever wanted to. Every single girl wanted to be their girlfriend, and every other guy wanted to join their group.
- Un-pause -
"Yo Syaoran, prom king!" said Takeo.
"Hey hey, let's not get carried away. Prom is in 8 weeks." replied Syaoran.
"Yeah, but we all know who's gonna win." commented Yuuhi.
"But he doesn't even have a date. Not even a girlfriend." remarked Eriol.
"Hey yeah, date can come later, but it's so true! You don't have a girlfriend Syaoran!" exclaimed Takeo.
"So what, I don't need one." retorted Syaoran.
"But you will if you want to be prom king!" said Takeo.
"I can have any girl I want right now. Every single one of 'em at this school wants to be my girlfriend." replied Syaoran.
"Is that true?" questioned Takeo with an intriguing smile.
"Yeah, that's right." said Syaoran in a very calm voice.
"Well, let's make a bet." said Takeo.
"Ohhhhh, what kind of bet Takeo?" said Yuuhi.
"A fun bet." said Takeo. "I will pick your date for the prom, and you can do anything you want to get her prepared; or just don't prepare her if you don't want to. If you two don't become prom king and prom queen together or if you forfeit, you owe me 500 bucks. If you win, you get 500 bucks from me."
"Hey, um mind if I but in? But a…Syaoran, I think it's not a very good idea to go along with this bet. I'm having a bad feeling about this…Just let your pride down for today…" said Eriol.
"I'll take that bet." said Syaoran as he shook Takeo's hand.
"Ok, now to find the perfect girl…no not her, she's too pretty…to simple…way way way too wide…", while Takeo was looking around he spotted the perfect target. From far he could see a slim girl with thick rimmed glasses, in baggy overalls with a huge canvas in her hand. Her auburn hair was tied up into a sloppy ponytail, and she was bumping and tripping all over the place.
"…and we have a winner! That girl over there!" said Takeo as he pointed to the klutzy girl.
"Are you for real?" replied Syaoran.
"Oh dear…" said Eriol.
"Haha!" said Yuuhi.
"Yep, that's your date Syaoran. Careful, I wouldn't want to waste my time, you only have 8 weeks." retorted Takeo as he laughed out loud.
The group walked up to her so that Syaoran could observe her.
"Good luck Syaoran…" whispered Yuuhi.
"Oh boy…Tomoyo won't like this…she hates it when men mess with girls feelings..." said Eriol.
"You won't tell her! If you do, I'll show her your photos of your past girlfriends." replied Takeo. "OK! OK!" exclaimed Eriol.
"So Syaoran, what do you think."
"…"
"Speechless huh? I knew it, I am soooo going to win." said Takeo as he went into a classroom with Yuuhi.
What Takeo didn't know was that Syaoran was staring at the girl. Up close, Syaoran remarked that although she was a little…messed-up, she had intense mysterious pools of emerald eyes.
"Earth to Syaoran, Earth to Syaoran, come in please?" said Eriol while he poked Syaoran.
"Huh?"
"You're staring at her…"
"I'm merely observing her…"
"Suuuuure…What ever, I'm going to class, meet you there."
"Ok." replied Syaoran.
He kept staring at the girl, and wondered what she was hiding beneath those jaded eyes. What he didn't notice, was that the girl was now staring back at him.
"What the hell are you looking at?" she said.
"Oh um…sorry…"
"What ever." She replied as she kept walking away, but soon after she tripped over her overalls. Out of instinct, Syaoran ran to her.
Why I'm I doing this? I don't even know her…
"Hey you ok? Here let me help you." he said as he picked up some of her stuff.
"Yeah yeah, I don't need help." she replied.
"Hey this is really nice." syaoran said, as he was observing a piece of canvas, completely ignoring what she had just told him.
"Hey! Give that back!" she exclaimed while grabbing the painting out of his hand.
"You're a real good artist." Syaoran commented.
"Why are you talking to me?" she asked quietly. "You're a jock, I'm a nobody…"
"What? I can't talk to people?"
"…"
"C'mon let me help you. My name is Li Syaoran."
"…"
Syaoran held out his hand and Sakura took it. She dusted off her overalls and grabbed her books and canvas.
"My name is Kinomoto Sakura, and I hope we will never meet again." she said as she walked away.
Syaoran was left there stunned. Was I just rejected?
