CHAPTER ONE: PROLOGUE
o ------------------ o
Only a computer monitor gave light to a dark room and ear deafening quiet. It was already past six in the evening and it was a day before Christmas Eve. Kinomoto Sakura was lying in front of her computer which was beside her bed, hugging a care bear that was given to her by her friend. She had been watching her favorite TV series before she had lain down to think.
"Why…" she asked herself as she was staring at the ceiling.
She had been thinking about a lot of things since the time that she got back home for the holidays. She is now a college student and she resides in a dormitory near her school so as not to be late all the time; though it still doesn't seem to work.
Ever since that time that she got a crush on the infamous Li Syaoran, which happened to be the most childish person she had ever met and happened to be in most of her classes, she had been like this a lot, thinking that is. Just lying down on her bed when she's bored, hugging her favorite stuffed toy and just stares out, probably thinking.
Kinomoto Sakura, an eighteen year-old teenager, majors in Multimedia under the College of Arts and Sciences in Tokyo University. Due to her course, she hadn't had enough sleep for the past weeks especially that it was already nearing their project deadlines around two weeks ago. The week after, it was time for their exams.
Her best friend, Daidouji Tomoyo, was in the same school, though she had a different course. Although she was also under the College of Arts and Sciences and was majoring in the line of Interior Design, Tomoyo had her own projects to finish causing both of them not to see each other for the past how many weeks.
Even though she had wanted to tell Tomoyo about what she feels, she just can't seem to find the time to. Right now, they won't been seeing each other, not until after Christmas cause she and her family were going on an out of town trip together with Tomoyo's family.
"With everything that you've done… You had me hoping…" Sakura said once again as she rolled over her bed, now facing the foot of her bed.
It was yet another Christmas for everyone. But this Christmas, no one seemed to have the Christmas spirit in them. It was like it's just a normal and ordinary day that would pass by, nothing else. For Sakura, it was the loneliest Christmas that she's ever had. Not only that she doesn't have the spirit with her, she also feels like something was missing. Even though it's only been a few weeks ago that she was last seen with her classmates in college, she had already missed them.
