Flowers for my Girl- Chapter 9
Syaoran sighed a breath of inward relief. There was nothing wrong. The only reason he was feeling strange was because of a dream that he was starting to remember. ‘Well… Meiling was a clown in my dream? No wonder I feel so strange! That must be a very creepy thing to see! And Shing… what was it about Shing in my dream?’ Syaoran grunted.
“Anything wrong?” Sakura whispered, leaning over so that no one else could hear her.
“Huh?” Syaoran asked, returning to the reality of eating lunch at the tables of Seijou High.
“You were zoning out… that’s my job!” Sakura said playfully.
Syaoran blinked and smiled at Sakura. With a bite of his lunch, Syaoran decided that pointless dreams were nothing to ponder about.
Sakura was talking with the rest of the group about plans for what they could do after school.
“So, does that sound good to everyone?” Sakura asked.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Syaoran hadn’t heard what she said, but nodded anyway.
“All right then! We’ll go to a movie later! Yay!” Sakura proclaimed.
‘A movie? Ok then, that works…’ Syaoran thought.
Everyone began chatting on the same time from then on out. They began to talk about which movie they should see, how long and tiring school was, and other things that Syaoran could not comprehend. Syaoran looked over at Shing. Shing was staying out of the conversation, like him. Something about the look in Shing’s eyes made Syaoran feel uneasy. His eyes seemed to be glazed over, but yet he looked like he was paying attention to the world around him. Syaoran shrugged. ‘Meiling has the weirdest taste in guys…’ Syaoran thought before realizing that she used to like him.
A few minutes later, the bell signaling that lunch was over rang. Sakura complained, “Lunch is too short!”
Everyone nodded. Shing simply put his sunglasses on and began walking away. Syaoran nodded along with the rest of the group and watched as Shing left. Meiling jumped out of her chair and yelled, “Hey! Wait for me!”
Shing paused and waited for Meiling to hook her arm around Shing. Syaoran kept watching Shing till they disappeared. Sakura pulled Syaoran out of the seat and said, “Come on! You’re being so lazy today! I keep having to pull you out of your chair!”
Syaoran stood up and randomly said, “I don’t trust Shing.”
Sakura giggled. “You haven’t trusted him since the day you met him! I don’t think that any guy is going to be good enough for Meiling in your opinion.”
“That’s right,” Syaoran sighed. “Let’s get to class.”
They walked hand in hand to their next class and got into their seats before the bell rang. Sakura winked at Syaoran, causing him to blush. ‘Why am I so hesitant? I keep going through this! There is nothing wrong! But… why do I keep questioning it then?’
The teacher began to teach the lesson and Syaoran once again pushed his doubts away. ~*~*~*~*~*~
School was over. The big group of friends began to walk to the movie theater. Takashi remarked, “You know, movies were started…”
Before he could get into his legend, Chiharu elbowed him in the side and said dryly, “No one really cares why they started. We only care to watch them…”
The movie theater wasn’t crowded, to their delight. Before they got in live for their tickets Sakura asked, “What movie are we going to see?”
“How about ‘Desires Awakening?’” Naoko asked.
The boys groaned. Takashi complained, “We agreed to a movie, but not some mushy junk like that! Can’t you tell just by the name that it is just going to be kissing and people telling each other how much they love each other? Sounds disgusting!”
Rika asked in her chipper voice, “What about ‘Teacher’s Love?’”
Everyone gave her a questioning look.
Rika sweatdropped and said in an angry voice, “What?! It was just a suggestion!”
Sakura sighed and said, “Ok ok! How about ‘Flowers for my Girl?’”
Takashi groaned. “Didn’t we just go through the thing about mushiness? ‘Flowers for my Girl?’ Sounds like it’s about some guy that got a girl mad, then gave her flowers and they made up and started kissing!”
Sakura insisted, “But that’s not at all what it is about! It’s about a girl that dies and a guy that visits her every day, laying flowers at her gravestone.”
“That sounds morbid…” Meiling, who was quiet with Syaoran and Shing the whole time, commented.
