Haha... I'm sorry? Ha... I know I'm really really late, but I just couldn't think of anything to write or how I was going to continue it so I stalled and banished it to the back of my mind. Yeah anyway. I'M SORRY! But please enjoy. ^^


" Sakura-san!" I looked around in the sea of students, wondering who was calling out to me.

" Over here!" ,then I spotted her, Daidouji-san, who was waving to me from a table at the far end of the campus's canteen. I lifted a side of my lips awkwardly.

I didn' t know if she knew that I had rejected Syaoran or if she had known, what would her reactions be? Lifting my tray I waded towards her and saw a few others who I assumed were her close friends. There was a girl with chestnut brown hair in a French braid and there was another with reddish-brown hair that had a kind and gentle face. Both were smiling up invitingly at me. I nodded back as a greeting.

" Here, here, sit down , this place is empty." Daidouji –san ushered me into a seat beside her. Just as I was settling down, my hand was enveloped by soft, warm hands and was shaken enthusiastically by the girl with the French braid, smiling broadly.

" Hi, I'm Yoshikawa Chiharu and this, here, is my fiancée Takashi." She spoke to me while pointing to a brunette beside her with closed eyes. He grinned at me and waved. " Nice to meet you."

They looked like a lovely couple. I smiled and kind of looked at them in awe.

" They're childhood sweathearts," Daidouji-san added from beside me. " She picked a piece of bread and popped it into her mouth. I acknowledged her comment by nodding towards them and Yoshikawa-san beamed at me. I felt the need to wear sunglasses right then.

" We have been together since elementary school. But honestly, I don't know how I can stand this guy." Yoshikawa-san sighed , her lips twitching while pointing to Takashi-san.

Takashi-san chuckled and said " Did you know in ancient Egypt, the bride-to-be had to-" Suddenly, he clutched his head ,smiling, where Chiharu-san had clipped him, shaking her head in annoyance. " See! That's what I mean." I felt an urge to smile then as the couple continue to bicker.

" Daidouji-san, are they always like that?" I asked, amused.

"Yeah, always have been and always will be." She replied, grinning, as we watched the antics of the two love birds.

" Oh yes! We must introduce you to the others." She exclaimed in sudden excitement. Then, she started to rant off the names of the others who were sitting at the same table.

" This is Sasaki Rika. She's a newlywed. She married her ten-year-long-term-boyfriend, last December. It was a beautiful wedding!" Daidouji-san gushed excitedly, saying how lovely she was in her wedding dress.

Sasaki-san blushed a pretty shade of pink and said softly, "Tomoyo-chan, enough already. It's embarrassing….." Daidouji-san did not heed her whispers and continued her animated rant of the newlyweds with gusto. I shared a knowing look with her at Daidouji-san's fast-paced speech.

After the episode with Syaoran, Daidouji-san became the one to take care of me though she did past a note from Syaoran that said that he would take care of mother. I was happy and sad when I read the note. Happy because Syaoran seemed to be giving up and was only taking care of my mother out of the kindness in his heart and I was sad, because I may have ruined to fragile friendship we once had.

In the short time of taking care of me, Daidouji-san and I had become good friends. Though she had always reprimand me for calling her Daidouji-san and wanting me to call her by her given name-Tomoyo. I had not been comfortable calling her in such an intimate way, and had sticked to calling her by her first name, much to her displeasure. Thus, I had also been aware of her cheerful- on the brink of overly-enthusiastic- personality. It was uplifting really but sometimes when she goes overboard….things tend to get messy, one would say.

Suddenly a pair of hands swooped from above and covered Daidouji-san's eyes making her stop in mid-rant, breaking out into laughter. I looked up and saw a tall young man 'bout the same year as us or maybe a year older, smiling serenely from behind frameless glasses. He had pale skin that every girl would envy and midnight blue hair that fell onto his forehead carelessly, with a nice built. I instantly knew that he was one of the uni's heartthrob. He was just too handsome not to be. Although Syaoran could have surpassed him anytime…..Shit. What was I thinking? Huh.

Daidouji-san had turned and pulled him into a short but sweet kiss. I resisted the urge to smile. They were all so sweet! Guess that's the girl in me talking.

She turned to me and said " This is my boyfriend, Hirigizawa Eriol." I nodded to him when he said " Hi," with a small wave of his hand. Then she pointed to me and said while smirking a bit," Eriol, this is The Sakura-san."

He lifted his eyebrows to me and I wanted to sink into the floor and disappear forever. I glared at Daidouji-san, I didn't need the 'The' . I'm infamous enough as it is.

" Oh, so you are The Sakura-san!" He took my right hand and kiss it as my face instantly flamed red. I laughed awkwardly stealing a glance at Daidouji-san but she seemed ok with it. She saw me looking at her and winked at me, "He was born in England." Yeah like that explains a lot.

I quickly took my hand away as he straightened up and smile at me with a mischievous glint in his eyes. " I've heard so much about you from Syaoran." My face paled a moment and I forced a laugh, trying not to let the frown show on my face.

" They are cousins through their mother's side and best friends," Yoshikawa-san added from beside me.

" Oh." I tried to sound nonchalant. They did seem to have the same aura around them, perhaps it ran in the family? For being tall, gorgeous and charming? What a family indeed.

Suddenly, Daidouji-san clasped her hand together and said " Oh, I almost forgot! Naoko!" We turned to a girl with short, light brown hair and big black frame glasses. I had a feeling the she would be really beautiful without the glasses covering half of her face. She looked up with dazed brown eyes from the book in her hand as I read the title ,I felt an immediate kinship with her.

" Naoko-chan, this is Sakura-san" She looked at me and grinned brightly, " So, you are the Sakura-san," and she held out her hand to me. I sighed and took her hand " Am I really that famous? Hahaha….Do you read a lot?" I asked her and she nodded vigorously

" Do you?" She replied with a face of great expectation and hope. " None of these dorks here read much, except Syaoran-kun of course." My heart stumbled a beat at his name but I ignored it.

"Hey we resent that! We aren't dorks, nerd!" Yoshikawa-san shouted laughingly from behind me. Naoko-san stuck out her tongue at her. " What are you, five?" Takashi-san teased her. Naoko-san just rolled her eyes. The rest laughed good naturedly.

" I read if I have time. I really love that book you are reading." I replied.

She looked at the book in her hand and beamed at me " I know, right? The Kite Runner is the best! This is my fourth time reading it! Have you read A Thousand Splendid Suns? It was awesome! What about romance? Julia Quinn?"

I smiled at her and said "Yes, I did read them. I like Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Series. It was really nice." I thought I just saw the sun up close.

" Ok, ok, calm down Naoko-chan." Daidouji-san. She pouted and I giggled. Oh my god…. Did I just giggled? I must have been out of my mind. Yeah right, it's actually been so long since I had had such a good time. I looked at them with gratitude. They had given me such precious memories.

" By the way, have any of you guys seen Syaoran?" Hirigizawa-san asked. I lowered my eyes and pretend that my heart is not beating a hundred miles per hour. Why does even his name gives me such reactions? I think it's illegal. Seriously illegal for someone to hold so much power over another's heart.

" Nah, I haven't," Daidouji-san said with a shrug of her shoulders. " Maybe there's something that he needs to do at the company?" And I promptly fell back to reality from my musings. See, that's why I must never tell him anything about how I feel. We live in two different worlds! What the point of building a bridge that's going to collapse any moment anybody else decides we aren't fit to be together? Society isn't like a dreamland with fairies and pixies and rainbow-coloured-ponies. What's the heir of an empire going to do with a girl with a mentally ill mother?

I wanted to laugh out loud as I sink further into my own bitter reasoning.

" Hey guys!" I jolted and froze up as I heard the voice that had plagued my dreams, whispering sweet nothing into my ear and making me fall deeper and deeper still.

" Hey Syaoran!" a chorus of greetings met him as he quickened his pace to us.

" Hey, little cousin," Hirigizawa-san thumped him on the back making him roll his eyes, as he greeted the others. He hadn't see me yet as they were blocking me from view.

" Oh yeah, Syaoran I would like you to meet someone!" I blushed a bit and tried to slink away but Daidouji-san had already grabbed me at the arm and was pushing me to the front.

I didn't dare look at him in the face, scared of seeing whatever expression he had on. Scared of the hurt or bitterness I may see there. I was a coward. Huh. I twisted my fingers again and again, trying to rid myself of the nervousness I was feeling.

Suddenly, I let out a loud yelp as my hand was pulled forward and I heard him say " Let me borrow her for awhile."

"H-hey! What do you think you are doing? Li-san!" I hissed out, trying to will away the blush that was flooding my cheeks and sound as angry as I can be.

He was holding my hand,


Ooh~~~ Syaoran wanted to talk to her~ What's he going to say after being rejected .Yeah I'm evil. I'm leaving you with a cliffhanger, always wanted to try that... XD
