Part 5. Revelation
I felt someone touch my shoulder, "Sakura..." I turned around to face Chiharu, "I-I'm so sorry..." And thats when it happened, I couldn't hold it in anymore, I quickly embraced her as my tears began to fall.
"He's such an idiot!" Naoko said patting my back, "He had no right to say that!"
Chiharu nodded, "Yeah! He doesn't even know what happened!" I let go of Chiharu and wiped the rest of my tears away, "Come on, let's go get some ice cream. My treat." She said with a smile as she and Naoko hooked arms with me.
---
Ice Cream Parlor"Ok, I think
you should ignore him during 'practice'." Naoko said licking her
ice cream off her spoon.
I sweat-dropped, "I kinda can't? Hellllooooo, Romeo and Juliet has to talk you know."
Chiharu nodded her head, "Duh Naoko."
"Well its not like you had a better idea!" She argued.
"As a matter of fact I did! It's time for revenge! I say Sakura distracts him and then we jump him!" Chiharu said laughing evily.
"Wait, wait!" I said holding my spoon in the air, "What if... I don't want to get back at him?"
Chiharu put her spoon down, "Trust me, you do." I looked at her with a confused expression on my face, "Look Saku, you can't be nice forever. 'Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim'." She paused, "Right now, your the victim, and Tomoyo's the criminal, she's holding the gun and your on the other end of it." I looked at her sadly, "So don't just stand there! Fight back Sakura!"
Naoko nodded, "Come on Sakura, you've already got the upperhand! You're going to be spending a huge amount of time with Syaoran!"
I looked at Naoko, then at Chiharu, "But I don't want to be mea---"
"Saku, if some guy tried to steal your purse, you'd kick him right? Which is some-what mean right?" Chiharu asked, finishing up her ice cream.
"Nooo... Thats self-defense." I retorted.
"Right, so Tomoyo's trying--- no wait, Tomoyo tried and has succeded in ruining your life, taking your boyfriend, and who knows, she probably has some other evil plans in her brain. I say its about time you use self-defense." Naoko answered with a smile.
"Uh.. Eh.. I...No.. Well..." Dammit. They always gang up on me!
"Naoko's right Saku," Chiharu said grinning, "Here's the plan, at practice today, make him want you."
I scoffed, "Want me?!" I laughed, "HAHAHA. Yeah, right. He'll want me alright, he'll want to take me off the bottom of his shoe and take me out of his life forever!"
They glared, "Why must you be so negative!"
I shrugged, "You wanted me to be mean, aren't mean people negative?"
"We wanted you to be mean, but only to Tomoyo!" Chiharu answered angrily, "Look, it's 4, we'll drive you to the park, and since your 'oh to nice' to follow our mean, and evil plans, then don't use them. But let me warn you now Sakura, the longer you wait to jump into action, the longer it'll take to get him back." She said opening the door, "Act fast."

4:20
p.m / Penguin ParkI hugged Naoko and Chiharu good-bye
and stepped out of the car, I breathed in deeply and walked slowly
over to the swing set. I sat down and dug the toe of my shoe into the
sand, I opened the script and read a couple of lines.
"Good
pilgrim, you do no wrong your hand too
much,
Which mannerly
devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims'
hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss."
I also read Syaorans lines. I gulped, this was THE page.
"Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?"Lips.
"Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer."
Why couldn't they slow down a little?!
"O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands
do! "Saints do not move, though grant for
prayers'
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair."Damn
you 'Romeo'!
Sake."
"Then
move no while my prayer's effect I take. "Sin
from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Thus from my lips, by
thine my sin is purged." Romeo kisses her"Then
have my lips the sin that they have took."
Give me my sin again."
I looked at my watch, it was 4:40, and still no sign of Syaoran. I closed the script and started to kick my legs back and forth. I smiled as the swing took me higher, and higher off the ground. It felt good. I closed my eyes and breathed in the scent of flowers.
"But let me warn you now Sakura, the longer you wait to jump into action, the longer it'll take to get him back. Act fast."
"Maybe Chiharu and Naoko were right." I whispered to myself.
I looked up at the sky, I wouldn't necessarily be mean would I?
"Tomoyo tried and has succeded in ruining your life, taking your boyfriend, and and who knows, she probably has some other evil plans in her brain. I say its about time you use self-defense"They were right. Dammit, I hate when they're right.

3-4
Months ago"'Haru! 'Koko!" I exclaimed
loudly.
Chiharu smiled, "Whats up Sakura?"
"I-I... No.. He- we-- Ahhh!" I squealed, I couldn't get the words out of my mouth!
"Hey guys! Woah, Saku you seem excited!" Tomoyo said laughing as she joined our group.
"I am! He.. we..."
"Spit it out Saku! I'm dying here!" Naoko said trying to shake the information out of me.
"We held hands!" I squealed, dammit I was excited. I'm so excited! I just can't hide it!
Chiharu, Naoko and Tomoyo jumped up and down with me, "Oh my gosh Sakura! You are sooooo lucky! Syaoran is the hottest guy in school!" Chiharu exclaimed, "His muscular, but not to muscular biceps, his... Man his 6 pack abs! His tall height, messy but still in place hair, his... And oh gosh, his gorgeous----"
"Chiharu!" Naoko yelled playfully slapping her.
I laughed, "Man I'm so-- hey, were'd Tomoyo go?" I asked looking around.
Chiharu shrugged, "She was standing next to me a minute ago." I looked around one last time, were was she? "But, anyway, Sakuuu! Oh my goooosh! This is so cute!"
Naoko nodded, "Seriously! 'Kawaii!' As Tomoyo would say!"
I laughed, "Well, it's not official yet!"
In The Classroom
"Oh Sakura this! Sakura that!" Tomoyo said in a high-pitched voice to herself. "What does she have that I don't have anyway?" She took out 5 small note cards from her backpack and sat down at her desk.
Sensei looked up from his seat and eyed Tomoyo suspiciously, "Tomoyo? Why aren't you out in the cafateria?"
"Oh, um, I have to finish up something, so yeah." She replied stuttering.
Sensei nodded, "Well ok then, I'm going to go to the teachers lounge." He got his folders and left the room.
"Whatever." She said under her breathe.
"Dear--- no... Ah! Hey babe," She smiled wickedly, "I couldn't stop thinking about you, man do I miss you! Your..." She tapped the pencil on her chin, "Your voice... Oh how I miss your sweet, honey like voice! I'll write back again later, bye love." She folded the note card in half, put it aside and then got another.
"Cherry Blossom," She paused, "I'm sorry baby, I really made a mistake! You know I love you!" She said as she wrote, "I really do love you! Please come back! Don't waste your time with that boy, you know you don't love him! Please, please..." She grinned, "Please 'Kura." She stole the nickname Syaoran gave her.
"Dear Love, oh thank God! I'm so happy we're back together! I missed you like crazy! No one could, not even God himself could explain how much I had longed for your kisses!" She folded up the paper, and put it with the 2 others.
"'Kura, when are you going to break it off with this... that... other guy? Because if you don't I will have to take matters into my own hands."
She took the last note card and drew a big heart around it, "I'm happy you broke it off with him babe. I love you to the fullest extent." She made sure no one was around, she opened up Sakura's backpack and put it on the floor, she scattered the notes around Sakura's backpack, leaving one near the foot of Syaoran's chair, and another on the foot of her own chair. She put away her things and went to the cafateria, "So much for Sakura, 'the sweetest girl in school'." Tomoyo said to herself as she went to look for Syaoran.
In The Hallways"Syaoran!" Tomoyo called out.
Syaoran stopped walking and turned around, "Hey Tomoyo." He said with a smile, "What's up?"
"I'm so happy I found you! Can you come with me to the classroom really quick? I need your help on one math problem."
Syaoran nodded his head, "Sure."
When they got there, Tomoyo lifted her backpack up from the floor and got out her math homework and a pencil, she zipped up her backpack and 'accidently' dropped her pencil, "Oh can you get that for me?"
Syaoran nodded and bent down to get, he reached for the pencil but stopped when he noticed a notecard, "Is this your's Tomoyo?" He asked holding up the note card.
Tomoyo nodded her head in the no-direction, and watched as Syaoran opened it. His eyes opened widely as he read, "Oh! Nevermind Syaoran, I forgot I asked Eriol to help me earlier, thanks anyways, lets go to the cafeteria."
Syaoran nodded his head but didn't look up from the note card, "You go on ahead, I'll be there in a while." He said in monotone as he looked down at the floor as if looking for something.
Tomoyo smiled to herself, "Ok."
Syaoran saw another note card near the foot of his chair and others around Sakura's backpack, "What the.."
The Cafateria"Hey! Look! Theres Tomoyo!" Naoko said, pointing at Tomoyo.
We yelled out her name and waved when we finally got her attention, she ran over to us, "Hey guys!" She said with a small, sad smile.
"Whats wrong Tomo?" I asked.
"Ken is feeling sort of blue." She said pointing to Ken, "His girlfriend dumped him for another guy." I didn't even know he had a girlfriend, "Why don't we help him out?"
Chiharu looked at her, "How?"
"KEN!" She called Ken over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Your so cute!" She said happily, "Isn't he girls?" She asked signaling us to kiss his cheek. I shrugged my shoulders, if it was gonna help him feel better, why not right?
After Chiharu kissed his cheek, I noticed that Tomoyo disappeared again, I shrugged it off, she probably was going to find other girls to 'help Ken feel better'. So I kissed his cheek. And right when I did, I heard a tray fall, I turned around, "You slut!"
I gasped, "What?!"
"How could you?" Syaoran started to walk up to me.
"I, what? No, Syaoran we were--"
"Save your excuses for your 'boyfriend'."
Boyfriend? "What? I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Stop lying!" He yelled.
Chiharu and Naoko stepped in front of me, "Back of Syaoran!" Chiharu yelled.
"Yeah! She wasn't doing anything! Tomoyo, Chiharu, Sakura and I were just helping Ken feel better about his break-up!" Naoko added.
"I didn't break-up with anyone?" Ken said looking at us.
"HAH! Caught in the act of lying! And how pathetic! Getting your friends to lie with you huh Kinomoto? Or should I say 'Cherry Blossom'? Or wait, no, that special nickname is reserved for your boyfriend huh?"
Kinomoto? Cherry Blossom? Boyfriend!? "What are you talking about Syao---"
"Call me Li from now on."
"Li? But why? What are you talking about?!"
He scoffed, "Maybe your boyfriend can tell you." He looked at Ken and then threw pieces of paper on the table next to me.
"Sy--Li! Wait! Ken is not my boy--"
He turned around and glared at me, "Save it for someone who cares." He said, flicking me off as he walked away.
I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I picked up the pieces of paper, Chiharu and Naoko whispered "Don't worry"s and "What a jerk" in my ears.
Hey Babe... Dear Love...Cherry Blossom...'Kura... I'm happy you broke it off with him. What was this? "What the hell? Syaoran!" I tried calling out his name but he wouldn't turn around, "I DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE CAME FROM! I SWEAR!"
Chiharu and Naoko each grabbed a note card, "What the... Wait a minute, this handwriting looks familiar..."
---I shook my thoughts out of my head and let out a sigh."Man. Were is he?" I asked myself as I breathed in deeply and took a look at my watch.
It was 5:30 p.m, I looked around the park one last time as a tear strolled down my cheek.
I was stood up. Romeo, was a no-show.
