Hairbrush in hand, Sakura stretched across her lavender spread and let her head droop over the edge of the bed. "You don't sit around and cry forever," she said through gritted teeth. "You get busy and you stay busy." Vigorously she yanked the brush throught her shoulder-length orangish yellowish brown hair and tried to ignore the puffy, burning sensation behind her eyes. "Stupid to cry," she muttered.
Nine whole days had passed since she and Keitaro
(He's a character from Love Hina. My FAVORITE show!)
had shouted ultimatums at each other, then broken up. Everything reminded her of him, even the telephone sitting silent on the table beside her bed. Keitaro used to call every evening. "Are you talking to yourself again Kaijo?" (it's means monster, in the japanise version that's what he calls her. I think it's spelled incorrectly but..) Her 19 year old brother stood near the doorway. "Keitaro isn't worth all the tears ya know." he spoke matter-of-factly.
Sakura sat up and pushed her hair over her shoulders. "How would you know how it feels and I am not a Kaijo!" Sakura yelled.
"Man don't need to get all personal Kaijo!"
----------------------- 1 hour later---------
Right after her brother left Sakura went and slamed the door shut.Obviously not everyone felt bad about Sakura and Keitaro breaking up. But Sakura felt at loose ends and a bit scared. Being in Keitaro's shadow had held a kind of security, even if it had an isolated kind. With Keitaro, there hadn't been room for many close friends. At least Tomoyo kept in touch. Sakura was going to need her best friend a lot now.
Fighting sluggishness, she forched herself to get up from the bed. But indecision followed her, and she stood in the center of her room wondering how she could possibly keep busy to keep Keitao out of her thoughts.
Sakura wished she could get rid of herself of the doubts that continue to assail her. She felt like a stretched rubber band and just as vulnerable to flying off in any direction. One minute she felt determined and confident that breaking up with Keitaro had been the right thing ; she worried that she'd made a mistake.
After opening her closet to choose what to wear to school in the morning, she resisted the urge to take down the photograph of Keitaro that was hidden between the shoe boxes on her shelf. "I have to get used to being me again," she muttered. "That's what I wanted." She pulled her turquoise jeans and a green tank top, then quickly closed the closet door. That's what the argument was about : being independent, being her seperate self--something Keitaro couldn't handle. Sakura wondered if any boy could.
Than she headed to the shower. Tomorrow would start day number 10.
She'd made it through another weekend.
At least the nights went fast. The alarm clock buzzed beside her,and Sakura haphazardly patted the table, trying to silence the noise. She touched the snooze buttonfor three more minutes of blessed silence and rolled over. But the alarm had done its job.
The smell of eggs and soup floated from the kitchen. Sakura got upand went through her routine preparations for school.
"See you later. Have a good day at school." Her father hugged her on his way out.

"Yes Tori I have my books. Yes, I did my homework. Yes, I'm feeling fine."
Sakura sat at the table in the cheerful yellow and white kitchen and answered all the questions that were asked by her brother.
Just then the bus came. Sakura then got all of her books and left the house. Her best friend Tomoyo was already in the bus saving a seat.
"Sakura....the school is going to have a carnival. The service club has to top the funds raised last year-that's tradition. Each year we've done better, but we need a lot of help. Every student is automatically a member. I really want you to be in it with me..So how about it?"
Sakura barely heard her friends last words. Memories of last year's carnival and the fun she had with Keitaro assualted her.
She pushed them out of her mind.
Than at that moment Tomoyo interupted her thoughts as she asked the same question.
" How About It? Will You Join?"
".....All right. Put my name on the top of the volunteer list. I'll be so busy I won't have time to think."
Tomoyo bounced in the seat and smiled. "Super! The first meeting is after school today. And remeber, no backing out"
"Just asking but will Keitaro or Cidney be in the club?"
"OF COURSE NOT!" Tomoyo shouted.
"Fine...but who is in the club?"
"umm.........only Rita,Zack aka Zachary,Misty,Ash,and Li."
"oh okay..wait Li!!!!!!"
"Yes."
"Man! Not the Li who went to junior high with us? He was never serious. We won't get a thing done!"
"I was just about to tell you that Li is the head of the club."
"Well..he is cute and strong..."
"Anyways you don't know the real Li. He's changed since junior high. He's more serious,cuter,and much stonger than before."
"okay fine"
------at school--------------
As they continued their confersation Sakura accidently bumped into someone and fell down.
"I'm so sorry" a dark low voice said.
"No..it's my fault."
as they began to get up they looked at each other noticing that it was their ex.
"Oh..hey Sakura"
"h-h-hi Keitaro"
"Sakura you know that you can call me Kei"
"I'll choose not to keitaro well I will go now. Goodbye."
"Wait!"
At that moment Sakura ran to her classroom.
