Secret Admirer

Ch 7- The Movie

The next morning Sakura got ready for school as usual, thinking about everything that happened yesterday, yet still not knowing what to do about it.

As she walked out the front door she saw Tomoyo standing by the gate as always, but today she saw a big smile on Tomoyo's face, which, somehow was not a surprise for Sakura.

"Morning, Tomoyo." said Sakura cheerfully.

Tomoyo excitedly exclaimed enable to contain herself, "Morning Sakura! Hey you know, there are only 2 months left of school and… your birthday is next week! Can you believe it? You're turning eighteen and we are almost done with high school! Oh, I have the cutest birthday dress for you to wear."

"Tomoyo, I thought I told you not to buy me any dresses." said Sakura cringing. She had been hoping Tomoyo wasn't going to make a big deal out of her birthday since she hadn't mentioned anything.

"Oh but Sakura, I didn't buy you anything! I've had this dress lying around in my room since I made it during the summer!" smiled Tomoyo.

'I really was hoping she would forget about that with everything that has been going on lately.' thought Sakura with a mental sigh. Both of them then started walking to school as Sakura contemplate the easiest way to tell Tomoyo what happened yesterday. 'She is definitely going to freak out if I tell her that I might have feelings for Syaoran. I wonder how I'm going to break this to her…'

"So Sakura-chan, what happened with Ren yesterday?" asked Tomoyo. Sakura was slightly taken aback with the dreaded question she wished she would not hear.

'Oh no what do I do.' thought Sakura nervously.

"…"

"Sakura, you know you have to tell me sooner or later. And it better be sooner." said Tomoyo with a hint of warning in her voice, demanding that Sakura spit out the truth.

Sakura sighed in defeat. "Well… we went out for coffee as you know," Tomoyo nodded her head in agreement because she had indeed overheard where they were going and had sent Eriol after her to check up on Sakura, "and he told me that I was beautiful," at this Tomoyo squealed with excitement, "and then he told me that everyone thought I had a boyfriend." said Sakura cringing at little as she said it.

"What? Really Sakura?" said Tomoyo with a surprised tone.

"Yeah… and Ren's not the one who wrote the letters." said Sakura trying to get a change in subject.

"Is there anything else that happened?" asked Tomoyo.

Sakura hesitated for a while before telling her the rest of the story. "Ren told me that everyone thought I had a boyfriend already. But then everyone found out about the secret admirer stuff and that I was looking for this secret admirer, so it was then concluded that I in fact didn't have a boyfriend." said Sakura looking down, trying not to make eye contact with Tomoyo.

"A boyfriend?" said Tomoyo confused, "A boyfriend?" her confusion turned into excitement. "Sakura are you hiding a boyfriend from me?" she said with a frown.

Laughing, Sakura said, "Tomoyo, if I had one, you would be the first to know."

"Of course I would be, how silly of me… So he said no one bothered you because they thought you had a boyfriend?"

"Yes exactly." answered Sakura.

"That's interesting, and I guess… it makes sense, boys don't bother you as much as they did a few years ago do they?" said Tomoyo thinking about how the boys used to be all over Sakura as soon as Touya left for college.

"No you're right, they don't." said Sakura.

"What else happened?" asked Tomoyo.

"Ren said some rude things… and I was telling him off when Eriol showed up and made me go home." said Sakura hoping Tomoyo wouldn't ask for more details.

"Yeah, that would be my doing. I had Eriol go and check up on you yesterday. I just felt like something wasn't right." said Tomoyo.

"That was probably a good thing, and at the end Syaoran ended up taking me home." said Sakura shyly which fortunately went unnoticed by Tomoyo.

"Well that's good! But more importantly now that we have disqualified Ren from your list who's next?" asked Tomoyo, her enthusiasm coming back to her.

"Hmm… how about we make it your turn now? Do you have anyone in mind?" asked Sakura.

"Well I guess my turn since you picked the first two…" said Tomoyo.

"I only picked the first one." laughed Sakura in response, "I picked Eriol, Ren asked me out on a date I didn't ask him on one."

"Fine, fine whatever you say Sakura." said Tomoyo with sarcasm in her voice.

"Well?" asked Sakura.

"Yeah okay. I think I have someone in mind." said Tomoyo in a quiet voice.

Hesitating Sakura said, "… are you going to tell me who it is?"

"Hmm…No." said Tomoyo with her mysterious smile.

"H-Hoe…"

"Come on Sakura, let's hurry or we will both be late for class." said Tomoyo, dismissing the subject.

Sakura had just realized they had made it all the way to school while they had been talking and both of them headed to their lockers and then to their classroom. Heading to class Sakura and Tomoyo talked about their plans for the weekend.

"Sakura-chan, do you want to go to the mall with me on Saturday?" asked Tomoyo.

"Hmm… I don't know Tomoyo." said Sakura.

"Oh… please Sakura." said Tomoyo with puppy dog eyes.

'I hate it when she does that.' thought Sakura.

"Fine." said Sakura giving in.


During their lunch break.

"Sakura you said I can come over on Sunday right?" asked Eriol.

"Yup." replied Sakura with a smile.

Syaoran's ears perked up upon hearing this and when he looked up from his seat, Eriol was staring straight at him, as if daring him to say something. Flustered, Syaoran packed up his lunch and headed back to the classroom. As Syaoran walked away Sakura tried to call after him.

"Syaoran…" said Sakura softly.

"I don't think he can hear you." said Eriol, "In fact he doesn't hear you the same way you don't seem to hear him. His feelings that is."

Tomoyo started to choke on her food and said, "You said what now?" coughing a little.

"Tomoyo are you alright?" said Sakura and Eriol at the same time.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." said Tomoyo to both of them and turning to Eriol with fire in her eyes she said, "What have you not been telling me?"

"E-etto… I think I'll leave now, I got something to do..." said Sakura with a nervous laugh as she tried to get away from the table as quickly as possible. Tomoyo's anger is not something she could handle.

"Oh, I am so not through with you Sakura-chan!" said Tomoyo.

"I know Tomoyo-chan… but I'm going to head to class. I'll talk to you after." said Sakura.

Tomoyo tried to stop her but Sakura was already to far from the table.

"Now you." said Tomoyo to Eriol, fire still in her eyes. "What have you not been telling me?"

Eriol gulped, but still retained most of his usual calmness. "Tomoyo, don't you think we should talk about this tonight? I-I believe you have something planned and you need my help, am I right?"

"Well… yes, but how did you know?" asked Tomoyo.

"A feeling." replied Eriol.

After this they both headed to join Sakura and Syaoran in the classroom.


After class

"Sakura I feel like there is something you're not telling me." said Tomoyo.

Sighing, Sakura decided to get it over with. "Well… it's about the previous 'date' I had with Ren the other day…"

"Hmm? What about it?" asked Tomoyo.

"W-well… did you remember I told you that Ren said everyone thought I had a boyfriend?"

"Well of course, Sakura-chan it was quite a surprise when you told me. But why is it bugging you?"

"Well the 'boyfriend' they were talking about was… Syaoran." said Sakura quietly.

"What? You're serious? Ren said that?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yes." replied Sakura.

"Hmm… so, how did you feel about that?" said Tomoyo very interested to hear Sakura's answer.

"To tell you the truth… I'm very confused right now." said Sakura.

"That's quite reasonable Sakura." said Tomoyo.

"Really?" asked Sakura.

"Of course. Syaoran is one of your best friends… and after what happened with Eriol, I can't even think twice about why you're confused about all of this," smiled Tomoyo reaching over to Sakura and giving her a hug. "but everything will be fine and I'm sure you'll figure everything out soon and you know I'm always here for you if you need me for anything."

"Thank you Tomoyo." said Sakura giving her a hug back.

They then started to walk to their lockers to get their homework for the weekend. As Sakura approached her locker she noticed that there was something attached to it and that made her heart leap 'Another letter from my secret admirer… I wonder what it's going to say.'

As she got to her locker she realized that it wasn't a letter but a bag taped to her locker. Inside the bag was a beautiful green hardcover book with gold writing on the spine that read Love Poems. Inside the front cover of the book was an inscription.

Sakura,

So you don't forget about me over the weekend.

From,

Your Secret Admirer

"Oh my gosh Sakura how cute!" said Tomoyo from behind Sakura appearing out of nowhere.

"It is pretty sweet of him isn't it?" said Sakura dreamily.

Sakura and Tomoyo headed home. At Sakura's gate Tomoyo said her goodbyes, and so did Sakura.

"See you later tonight Tomoyo." said Sakura walking away.

"Have you picked a movie to watch?" asked Tomoyo.

"No it's Syaoran's turn this week." said Sakura waving a goodbye as she closed the door behind her.

Going up to her room to put her books away and changed, Sakura sat down on her bed and decided to take some time to read the book her Secret Admirer had given her. By the time she stopped reading, she realized that a lot of time had passed by, thus making her go into panic mode. 'Oh no I'm late and I still have to change into something nice.' Sakura raced around her room trying to find something to wear. When she was finished she headed out the door to Syaoran's house. She reached his house a few minutes later and was greeted by a smiling Syaoran.

"Sorry I'm late Syaoran." said Sakura apologetically.

"It's fine. I was just finishing making dinner. Come in." said Syaoran making room for Sakura to pass though the doorway.

"I really am sorry… it's just I was reading and I got so caught up in it that I didn't even realize how much time had passed." said Sakura.

"Oh," said Syaoran blushing slightly, "well dinner is ready but no one else is here yet so I guess we can start eating by ourselves."

After dinner Eriol and Tomoyo still hadn't shown up. Sakura and Syaoran walked into the living room where the big screen tv was and Sakura saw that all the snacks and drinks had been set out already.

"Thank you for setting up already Syaoran, you didn't have to do it all alone you know… I would have helped." said Sakura shyly.

"It's no problem." said Syaoran, maintaining his stoic expression.

"Oh Syaoran… you're always so serious… lighten up will you?" as Sakura said this she tackled Syaoran to the ground and started a tickle fight just like the ones they use to have when Sakura would try to get Syaoran in a better mood.

Sakura's plan backfired however because Syaoran started to tickle her back as well. They finally ran out of breath and stopped tickling each other but continued to laugh.

Sakura finally stopped laughing and said "I wonder where Tomoyo and Eriol are?"

"Yeah… I've been wondering about that too… do you think we should wait for them or start the movie?" asked Syaoran.

"Let's start the movie… by the looks of it, who knows when they'll show up." replied Sakura.

Half way through the movie, Tomoyo texted Syaoran to tell him she wouldn't be making it tonight and for him to behave himself with her sweet little Sakura-chan, which made Syaoran blush. A few minutes later Eriol called and said he wouldn't be making it either.

"Sorry Syaoran… I can't make it tonight. Something suddenly came up and I can't delay it. Do take care of our lovely Sakura, kay?" said Eriol smirking knowing that Syaoran's face was turning red with anger and embarrassment.


As Eriol got off the phone, he approached Tomoyo limo, which just happened to be parked in front of Syaoran's house. As he opened the door to the limo Tomoyo's hand reached out and pulled him inside.

"You're late" said Tomoyo, not looking at Eriol but at the video camera she had pointed at Syaoran's living room window.

The screen of the camera showed Sakura and Syaoran watching a movie.

"Tomoyo, how are you getting sound from the living room we must be at least 100 feet away and the window is closed?"

"Simple… I stopped by Syaoran's on the way home today and planted a bug inside the lamp shade."

"Tomoyo…" said Eriol in a disapproving tone.


Sakura and Syaoran finished the movie and started talking about the lecture they had in class that day. As they talked Sakura started to snuggle up to Syaoran as she always did when they were talking alone. Noticing what she was doing, Sakura started to blush but when she started to pull away Syaoran held her still against him. Sakura looked into Syaoran's eyes as they sat there.

"Syaoran I…" started Sakura.

"Sakura." said Syaoran.

As Syaoran stared at her, Sakura's mind was racing with all the things this moment could really mean. She needed to think and she couldn't do that here. She needed to be alone to think and she needed to talk to Tomoyo, and she knew she had to leave before she did something stupid.

"Syaoran I… I need to go." said Sakura standing as Syaoran loosened his hold on her with a slightly shocked expression on his face. "It's getting late, my dad will probably be worried and my brother is coming home soon I need to make sure everything is clean."

"Ok Sakura let me walk you home." said Syaoran.

"Thanks Syaoran, that's really sweet of you." said Sakura making Syaoran blush.


Tomoyo had been grasping into Eriol the entire time they had been watching the two and she just could not believe her ears when she heard Sakura decide to leave so abruptly.

"Can you believe that?" said Tomoyo.

"Actually I can. I know the feeling…" replied Eriol.

"You know the feeling? Wait, you know, now that I think about it, this is all your fault." said Tomoyo interrupting Eriol.

"My fault? what do you mean?" asked Eriol.

"Sakura is confused about her feelings now because of what you told her about being like a sister to you. I'm pretty sure you broke her heart. Not that she will tell me the truth. You hurt Sakura-chan and I'm not sure I can forgive you." said Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo I'm very sorry but I couldn't lie to her." said Eriol.

"and why not?" asked Tomoyo.

"because… because I'm in love with someone else." said Eriol turning slightly pink at the statement.

"Oh… so you weren't lying about that either. I thought you were just trying to let Sakura down easy."

"No I wasn't lying… but Tomoyo, what can I do to fix this…. to make you forgive me."

Thinking deeply for a while, Tomoyo found her answer, "Make Sakura's secret admirer confess his love to Sakura by Tuesday next week."
