Slowly he came to me and knelt down. He swiftly put the ring on my finger and got up to face me. "SAKURA"

"I am not deaf Tomoyo." I told her when she was standing beside me with the hands on her hips.

"You are doing it again 'Kura. I have been calling out your name for the past 10 minutes." She informed and got back to doing her homework. I apologised to her.

"You know, if you like him so much you should confess it to him. But then you guys are always fighting for the silliest of matters..." she said not looking up from her notebook.

"I know but then I can't bear it if he rejects me. It's better if I just live with him in my dreams. As you said he has never been nice to me or any girl for that matter except for a very few from his class."

Tomoyo sighed and came to sit beside me on the couch. She held my shoulder and said "It's better to at least inform him. Who knows he might like you also. I have seen him staring at you sometimes. Just don't wait for a reply..."

I just nodded my head with a little plan forming up in my head.

The next day I hesitantly put the hand-made greeting into his locker and ran off. I never mentioned my name in it. I just poured all my feelings and gave him a clue that my name has one 'R' in it. That would narrow down his search!

When I told Tomoyo about it she just started scolding me. But we both forgot about it later.

Three months later:

I finished my cheer leader practice and was heading home. Near the hallway I saw Lucy. She was one of the girls he would talk to. I was about to walk past her when she called out my name. It was odd. We have never talked at all. "Yes! What is it?" I asked her with a smile. I wanted to be nice to his friend. My smile faded away when she took out the similar green colour greeting card I had slipped into his locker months ago. "He asked me to give this to you and also asked you not to disturb him." She gave it to me. My hands trembled just to hold it. It was his way of rejection. I understood. Tears threatened to spill. I just ran from her. I saw him leaning near the gate. For a minute I studied him. I saw that he was listening to his iPod with his eyes closed. I felt bad for being treated like this. He could have just ignored it. Why should he hurt me like this?

'Why are you so heartless towards me Shaoran?' I thought as I ran to my home with tears. I tore the card and threw it away on the way home.

I cried myself to sleep that night. I did not know why he was hurting me like this.

Another two months later:

Things were getting bad at my home. My parents were going to get a divorce. I felt lonely and also Shaoran was going to leave high school in a month. The only thing that kept me going on was him. I decided I wanted to have something of his memory. The next day I approached him with a slam book. He was with his friends in the cafeteria. I was gathering all the courage in my body and said "Can you fill this in as a friend?" and added "Please?" holding out the book towards him. He looked at me and then at the book in my hand. I noticed that the entire cafeteria had gone silent. Everyone was waiting for his reaction. "I am no friend of yours." He spat and left the place.

I heard everyone laugh at me. I was already a known loser and he just insulted me in front of the entire school. I just thanked god that Tomoyo went to a different school. I skipped the rest of the day and went home. I just didn't feel like going back to that school anymore.

I convinced my mother (I had to live with her while my brother lived with my father) to let me go to Tomoyo's school next year. I just could not bear being in that school for two more years.

I did finish my school with her. We both took up law and ended up in the same college in Tokyo. Though I was happy, I always felt a hole in my heart. I constantly dreamt of the chestnut haired boy. Tomoyo reminded me that I deserved a better guy after what he did to me.

One Fine Day:

Me and Tomoyo were just strolling down the mall. We both were bored and went into the bowling alley. After a few minutes we heard girls screaming and laughing. I asked one of the workers there "Is there any accident?"

He laughed and said "No madam. Haven't you heard? The young actor Eriol Hirragizawa is here in Tokyo. Well he is here to meet with some friends. All that screaming is from his fan girls." Me and Tomoyo just shrugged it off and went to eat in one of the booths. We both were not that into screaming at an actor. Though he was our absolute favourite, I was pretty sure that we cannot get his autograph for now.

We ordered for our food and were waiting. I had to use the loo so I excused myself and went. When I was going back to my table I noticed that the crowd had been controlled at the certain booth. I thought I could use this chance and went towards the booth. I peeked inside to see some 5 guys eating and laughing. But I could not see Eriol. Just then the security came and sent me off. With a little disappointment I went to my booth and joined Tomoyo. We both were eating when I felt someone standing behind me. I turned to see Eriol Hirragizawa standing there.

"Oh my God!" I said as I jumped up and down. I just couldn't believe it. Tomoyo started screaming just then.

"Ladies please don't scream. I don't want anyone to know that I am in this booth." He said calmly.

The three of us sat down and Tomoyo asked him "Don't consider me rude, but why you are here? You don't even know us."

"Well, I saw you friend peeking into my booth a few minutes ago. My body guard sent her off. So I thought I can pay you a visit." He spoke in good Japanese.

The next one hour we spent as if he was our old friend and we were just hanging out. He exchanged numbers with both of us. He was generous enough to offer to drop us in his car. But then we denied it. "It's better if we keep our friendship a little secret." Tomoyo reasoned out. He understood and we said our good byes and left. It was a secret that we managed to befriend a star. He was very loyal to us and kept in touch with both of us though he left for England.

'You guys don't act like I am a star' he would always say.
