Chapter 2: Central Spot
---Sakura's bedroom---
.Beep.
Sakura moaned as she unwillingly freed her arm from under her sheets and blindly searched for her alarm clock. Finally finding it, she swiftly hit the 'snooze' button.
She was going to drift back to sleep again like she usually did, when--
Riiiiiinnnnnggg
"I'm up" She griped to no one in particular. "Buying two alarm clocks weren't a waste of money."
She grudgingly sat up, and swung her legs over the side of her bed.
Hitting the 'snooze' button on her second alarm clock, she dragged herself out of bed and to her closet where she picked out clothes with barely any thought.
Quickly changing into them, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror.
As usual, she wore her dull school uniform. It was a navy blue skirt with a white dress shirt and a navy blue tie with the school symbol on the right side of the chest part of the shirt. Her slightly wavy auburn tresses, which reached to just below her shoulders, was tied up in a tight ponytail, with only a few strays and her bangs left loose which made her more pretty. Her skin was slightly pale and was so clear, that it seemed untouched by the tainted world. The most striking feature of Sakura was her smashing emerald eyes.
She glanced at her alarm clock and realized for the first time, she was actually early! No need to rush or hurry, she could just take her time to get to school for her exams.
Sakura walked downstairs to find Touya finishing up his breakfast.
"Made bread toast for you Kaijuuz."
"SAKURA NO KAIJUUZ!!! ONII-CHAN BAKA!!!"
Touya winced at his baby sister's outbreak.
"Where are dad and mom?" she continued
"Yea, yea. They went to one of their friend's house. Now, hurry up and finish up your breakfast, I'm driving you."
"No need, I'm going to walk. Tell Syaoran that I left early."
Touya shrugged. "Be my guest Kaijuuz."
Both of them always got into fights every day, moreover every second they are together, both today she didn't want to. Sakura decided to ignore her brother's teases. Sakura finished up her breakfast. "See ya later oniichan."
'That was strange', Touya thought. "Bye, kaijuuz."
Both of them were good buddies, till she was in middle school. But later on, both of have been fighting like the worst woes. Sakura always thought why it was so. But she never got the answer.
Since she was early today, she decided to bide her time and take her walk along the long way to school, which happened to pass by the cherry blossom park. After all she was in no rush for once. She was left completely shocked at the sight, for the cherry blossoms were bloomed in full glory!
And to Sakura, there was no sight more breath taking. "Kawaii." She muttered under her breath.
Falling cherry blossom petals whirled around her and seemed to follow her, as a result, getting tangled in her hair and caught on her clothes. But Sakura didn't care. She hadn't felt like this in ages and wanted this to continue forever. Like a little innocent girl, she started twirling around with her arms spread out.
So free. So peaceful. Moreover so happy.
'Isn't it strange, how little simple things like this can make you feel really happy?'
After a few more minutes of whirling and enjoying the atmosphere, Sakura stopped, looked at the watch.
Hoeeee!!!! I am going to be late for my exam! was the only thought in her mind. Japanese ones. Last ones too.
Sakura was always like this - strange, cute and silly. She always took the things to the maximum limit and tried to enjoy it to the best. Sometimes we think she's crazy, but there's always one person who supports her madness. It was Syaoran.
---School---
Sprinting down the dexterous hallway of school, Sakura almost slid past her classroom because she was in such a hurry. She rushed into the classroom just as the professor was handing out the last of the finals. She sighed in relief that she had made it on time. The professor handed her a test and she took a seat, blushing at the barely audible chuckles coming from the other students. She knew they had to be laughing at grand silly entrance she made. Sakura turned back to greet Syaoran who was seated just behind her. He just winked at her trying to control his sniggers.
"Alright class, you may begin your test. When you are done, quietly gather your things and leave your test on my desk. Good luck," the professor announced before taking a seat at the head desk to proctor the exam.
----Two hour later ---
Sakura walked out of the building happy to finally to be out of school. She was pretty sure all her grades would be good, although not as good as her brother's. She was always second in her class, Syaoran being first. She stepped outside of the building and headed towards us.
"Why were you late?" Eriol enquired to Sakura.
Forgot to tell you guys, Eriol had a big crush on Sakura, whereas Tomoyo had one on Syaoran. Like everyone, Eriol and Tomoyo knew that deep down both Sakura and Syaoran were in love, they were too innocent to know that. Eriol always got jealous when Syaoran gets near Sakura, but he tries his maximum not to show his envy. But Tomoyo, she was a lovely girl. She always tried her best in match-making Sakura and Syaoran, because she wants her best friends to be happy forever. Everyone knows this little secret except Sakura and Syaoran.
"Day-dreaming and lost the track on time" Syaoran replied.
"How do you know that" Sakura asked, hugging him. This really made Eriol kinda jealous.
"I have known you for a long time, silly. Touya-chan told me that you left earlier, where else could you go" which made others laugh except Eriol. "He dropped me at the school. Isn't that strange?"
"Indeed" Sakura said thinking about her brother's odd behaviors.
"What are our plans for today?" Tomoyo asked.
"We can go to our spot and discuss about the surprise that Sakura's parents are throwing for us" Ryu said and we set to go to our spot.
Telling about our spot, it's a spot in the cherry blossom park Sakura went that morning. There is an isolated group of 6 trees in the centre of park. Always slight wind blows in this spot which make that place all the more special. It is a perfect place to spend during any time of day - morning, afternoon, evening or even in nights. Especially in night when you need a romantic place this is the best. We call it 'Central Spot'. We decided to meet there everyday since it was the end of our school time till we get busy in our new stuffs.
Everybody in the school expected the confession of their love by the end of exams, but both of them just said "We are best friends. We like each other but falling in love. Us. That's ridiculous. Love and like are not the same, guys."
Ya, love and like are not the same if they are not understood properly, people could really hurt themselves as well as others.
Will something happen to change their attitudes?
