A/N: Hi there everyone :)
How are you all? Doing fine I hope? :D
Thank you for all of the wonderful review/favorites/story alerts! :)
Also, I was inquired of if I'm an American. No, I am not, but I do happen to live in the US of A. I am Asian though! I was born in Japan (I'm not Japanese though) but I do not go to school there, so therefore, I don't know how the students there act, so I am putting it in American perspective.
Anyway, on with the last chapter!
It'd been three days since Sakura had stormed out of my front door. In those few days, I had worked my ass off.
I ditched my bad boy thing, but I didn't go back to being a nerd. I stuck with my usual messy hair, but I cut back to a white short sleeved shirt, faded blue jeans, and my black sneakers. I had mainly been working on writing a song for her-about my true intentions. I was actually a pretty good musician, but i preferred not to show it. I got Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-baka to help me with it as well. Finally, I had finished it. A combination of singing and rapping. Now, to put the plan into action.
It was 2:00 in the afternoon, and I headed to the local Fushiyama Park.
"Hey!" called Eriol, already by the bandshell stage. In our park, there was a small stage for little concerts or anything that was free for public use.
"Hey, Eriol. Is everything ready?" I asked.
"Yeah. I spread the word out about your 'performance', and Tomoyo's getting Sakura." he said.
"Good." I said, nervously. "I hope she doesn't just walk off."
"Tomoyo will keep her here." reassured Eriol.
"Thanks." I said, genuinely grateful. Something I wasn't a lot. At least not towards Eriol.
It was finally 2:30, and people were starting to come near the bandshell stage. I hurried on stage behind the curtains. Eriol kept watch outside.
Finally, after 10 minutes or so, he came back in sight
"There's a lot of people out there, Syaoran, and Saki-chan and Tomoyo-chan have just arrived." he notified.
"Alright. Let's start." he said.
He drew the curtains apart and I stepped on stage with a microphone.
"Hi everyone, I'm Li Syaoran." I said, loudly and clearly.
A lot of people in the crowd were from my school, so I heard loud murmurs of surprise. As for Sakura, she became stiff, and her face became hard. She said something to Tomoyo, but Tomoyo grabbed her arm and kept her here.
"Today, I'm performing a song I wrote, called, 'Nice Guys'. Hope you like it." I said, and I nodded for Eriol to start the music.
Nice guys finish last that's why I'll treat you like trash
It's not what I really want to do
but you only date bad guys so I'll give him my best try
To treat you the way you want me to
Sakura's expression got slightly softer. I guess she remembered saying that she liked bad boys. I smiled and started rapping.
I never open the door or pull out a chair
You can tell me how your day was but I don't really care
and if you ever get cold, you'll just have to hack it
cause I'd be cold too if I gave you my jacket
like whoa!
you ain't sitting up front
front is for the homies you can sit in the trunk
I never answer my phone whenever you call it
and when the waiter brings out the bill, I never reach for my wallet
Everyone laughed. Sakura chuckled a bit too, but she still looked uneasy. Everyone else screamed. Guess they didn't think a nerd like me could rap.

It's not what I really want to do
but you only date bad guys so I'll give him my best try
To treat you the way you want me to
and Imma beat you in every competition
going out with the girls you better get my permission
wait no! I take that back you can't go
house starts tonight and that's my favorite show
Do I look fat in this dress?
We had recorded Tomoyo's voice for the song.
Hell yeah! You do!
Wait let me speak your language
Cows go mooo, mooo, mooo, mooo, mooo
Everyone burst out into laughter at the random cow effects.
Nice guys finish last that's why I'll treat you like trash
It's not what I really want to do
Oh.. You only date bad guys so I'll give him my best try
To treat you the way you want me to
but behind the scenes, she means the world to me
I wanna tell her that she's beautiful
and show her that she's in love
hold her hand when she's scared
tell her how much I care
but that won't win her heart because…
She started smiling, and her eyes got softer and softer.

Oh. You only date bad guys so I'll give him my best try
To treat you the way you want me to...
HO.
The crowd burst into applause and cheers. I took a deep breath, smiled, and walked back off stage.
After lots of highfives, screams, and hugs from random girls, I found the face I was looking for. She was sitting on a bench by herself. I slowly walked towards her and sat down next to her.
"So..." I said, awkwardly.
"Syaoran..." she whispered. "You're so stupid."
That was not what I was expecting would come out of her mouth.
"I'm sorry! But I heard you telling Tomyo-chan you liked bad boys, and I really wanted you to like me, so I did it. I'm sorry." I said.
"Syaoran, sure, bad boys are nice, but I like you, baka! I've always liked the sweet, sensitive you." she said, smiling.
I chuckled. "So...do you forgive me?" I asked.
"Well..." she said, leaning towards me to kiss me. I froze. But at 2 inches away from my mouth, she stopped. "No."
That ruined what I thought would be our perfect ending.
"What? But? But? Sakura! I love you! Please! What? I'll do anything! Please give me a second chance! I'll iron your socks or whatever! Water your houseplants! Organize your sock drawer! Vacuum t-" suddenly, her lips captured mine, cutting me off.
"I said I didn't forgive you, but it doesn't mean I don't want to try again. But, be yourself, this time, alright?" she asked.
I laughed. "Fine, but I'm keeping this look. I like it."
"I'm not complaining." she laughed, and we kissed again.
Nice Guys Finish Last? Think again.
