Sakura walked out of the school gates, with her head sunk down
below her shoulders. Leaving behind her a trail of tears that soon
disappeared in the heat of the sun. 'Why?' she thought. She couldn't believe
what had happened to her that day. It was terrible and humiliating. Half way
down the block she could hear Tomoyo's voice calling out her name.
"Sakura?!" she yelled as she ran out of the gates. Sakura didn't pay attention
to her, she just kept on walking. "Sakura!" she continued to yell after her.
Tomoyo ran down to catch up to her. She placed her hand on her slow
moving friend to make he stop and face her. Sakura turned around but didn't
look up at her. She continued to let her tears fall from her pale face.
"Sakura?..." Tomoyo said softly. She waited for something.
Something to show she was alive. But noting happened. Tomoyo got worried
and didn't know what to do. "It'll be okay." she finally said optimistically to
her. Sakura stopped her crying and slowly lifted her head to look at her best
friend. She couldn't believe what she said. 'It'll be alright.' she said to herself
over and over. Sakura stared at her friend who looked so frightened. She
knew how worried she was about her but, she just didn't seem to care.
"Nothing...will be alright..." Sakura said to her. She turned back around and
continued to walk where ever she was headed. "Sakura..!" Tomoyo said as
she started to follow her friend. "Don't! I know you want to help..." Sakura
stood still, not wanting to see the hurt in Tomoyo's eyes. "But right now I
want to be alone..." Sakura said coldly. She continued to walk down the
block. Tomoyo couldn't believe it. She didn't want her help. Something was
strong with Sakura and she couldn't help her at all.
Meiling and Li came out not too long after Sakura left. Meiling came
out and walked towards Tomoyo who was still standing there looking at the
direction she had walked. "Hey!" Meiling greeted her until she finally noticed
how sad she looked. "What's the matter?" Meiling asked. "It's Sakura. She's
upset about what happened to her." Meiling looked hurt also.
Li walked over and stood next to Meiling. "How pathetic." he said
coldly. Meiling and Tomoyo snapped their heads toward him. "Li, how you
could you be so inconsiderate in a time like this?" Tomoyo asked. Her voice
sounded so depressed and sad. Meiling looked at him fiercely. "Look Li,
Sakura's really hurt and you're not helping to make her feel any better. And
you know if you were hurt she would be there to help you feel better." Li
stared back at her seeming not to care. He turned and started to walk down
the block. "Girls!" he said annoyed as he continued to walk. Meiling and
Tomoyo stood there staring at his back as the figure became smaller and
smaller. "What do you think he's going to do?" Tomoyo asked concerned. "I
don't know." Meiling replied. "But he better not screw up or else!"
Li walked through the park. 'What am I doing here?' he asked
himself while wondering through the park. 'Why should I care if some jerk
dumped her or not? It's none of my business anyways.' He continued to
wonder through the park looking for Sakura. Li stopped, he heard some girl
crying. He looked over by the bench where she was sitting. It was Sakura
sitting by herself. He walked over to where she was not knowing what to say
to her.
Sakura heard someone walking over to her. She quickly tried to
wipe all the tears away from her face. She looked up thinking it was Tomoyo,
Meiling, or one of her girl friends who had followed her to make her feel
better. But when she saw who it was it surprised her. 'LI?!? What is HE doing
here?' "I'm not in the mood for one of your COMMENTS today Li!"
Li stopped at her reaction. 'Have I been so mean to her?' He
thought about it and realized he has. All those times he called her pathetic or
a wimp, had hurt her. "I actually ran out." he said. Sakura's mouth grinned
over to one side. She thought his attempt to make her laugh was lame but
thought full. "Could I...sit next to you?" he asked unsure of her answer.
Sakura looked at him and sort of smiled. "Sure.." she said. Li sat a few inches
away from her. He had no clue what to do. He wasn't the sensitive type. He
glanced over to Sakura who was slouching, staring at the ground. Li noticed
her fingers. They were playing with the ends of school uniform skirt. 'She's
nervous?' he thought.
"Sakura, I know I haven't been that great to you but...I juss don't
want to see you sad." Sakura was surprised at what she had heard. So was
Li. 'He cares about me? I always thought he hated me.' she thought. He was
nervous beyond belief. "Believe it or not we're actually friends." Li said it as
though it was unbelievable to him. Sakura looked and smiled at him. "Thank
you." she finally said. He was surprised how calm she was now. A few
minutes ago she was crying her eyes out but, now she seemed to be so
relaxed.
"Sakura you can tell me...if you want to...I mean I'm not forcing
you or anything...."
"Well..." she said cutting him off. Li was surprised. She was going to
tell him?
"If you want.."
"I do... I mean we're FRIENDS right?" she said smiling at him.
"..Yeah..."
"It was a couple of weeks when it happened." She started to tell
him. He seemed a little confused at the pace Sakura was talking.
"So...," he began saying, "you're upset because some jerk dumped
you?" Sakura looked at him. A little disappointed that he hadn't been paying
attention to what she was saying.
"Sure he's the most popular guy in school. It was amazing he had
asked me out to the dance but, I really thought he cared about me. Then
today, THREE days before the dance he dumps me! For what? A skinny,
airhead, cheerleader! I really wanted to go. But it's not even about the
dance. He humiliated me in front of half the school. I really THOUGHT he
cared. I am so stupid!" Sakura looked back to her skirt and started to play
with the ends again.
"Don't say that! You're not THAT stupid." Li said sarcastically.
"Gee, thanks..."
"That's not what I meant. You're not stupid. You liked him, and you
thought he liked you. It was his mistake to ever let you go...." Sakura turned
and looked at him. "Do you really mean that?" Sakura's eyes suddenly
became teary again. 'Oh man! I made her cry...' he panicked when he saw
her face. "Sakura, I didn't mean to make you cry!..." Li didn't know what to
do. "You know what? I'll help you out. If you really want to go to the dance
I'll go with you!" 'What?!? What are you doing Li?' Mentally Li was kicking
himself in the head. 'But look at her you made her cry again. This is the least
you can do to make up for all the times you were a jerk to her.' Sakura was
staring at him while tears came down her face.
"Oh do you really mean that?" Li hesitantly nodded. Sakura jumped
up and swung her arms around his neck. Li was shock, 'Why is she so
happy?'. "That's is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!" she
whispered to him. Li was still confused but suddenly began to hug her back.
"And I would love for you to take me to the dance!" she said as she pulled
away wiping her tears away from her face. "It would be nice to go with one
of my friends." she smiled at him. Li didn't know what to do. He couldn't help
but smile back at her with those rare smiles of his.
