Syaoran stood up and naturally placed his left arm around my waist and we continued walking up the slope. Of course, the crowd made way for us. If not, I think we would have been stuck there forever. I didn't think that it would cause so much commotion. The crowd was making a lot of noise but with Syaoran's one glare, everything was quiet.

'Syaoran Li!' I suddenly remembered that Ryuosuke was also watching all this and tried to break lose from Syaoran's hold. I saw an angry-face Ryuosuke walked towards us threateningly, not taking his eyes off Syaoran. Well, more accurately, glaring Syaoran's arm that was around my waist. But Syaoran just stood there and acted as if his already expected this.

'Have you predicted this already?' I couldn't help myself, but ask. I struggled harder and this time he let go.

'Yes...you are indeed the famous Ryuosuke Hanasaki's precious little sister afterall...must be prepared for something like this, isn't it...?' he said lazily. But amazingly, he had a small smile shot towards me as if assuring that he'll be fine and when he turned around, the smile disappeared, replace with coldness. It made me wonder whether it was really just there a moment ago. He walked calmly towards Ryuosuke a little. Then he stopped just three steps ahead of me.

'Don't think that I'd go easy on you...' Ryuosuke said when he reached the spot where we were standing still. Is it because I didn't get enough sleep and my eyesight's not that good this morning or did the expression on Ryuosuke's face look as if it was one of those that he made a great effort to pretend to be angry?

'I won't think that...but I'm prepared. Come any time...' Syaoran lost his playing-around air and looked very serious. This was the second time I saw this expression of his. The first time was when he confessed to me. Well, maybe others never saw this kind of expression before because Rye's face turned as pale as a piece of paper. Or maybe even paler.

Then, surprisingly, Ryuosuke turned around and headed back towards the school, going up the slope after nodding at Syaoran once. After a few steps, he stopped in his track and only turned his head around for a little and looked at Syaoran in the corner of his eyes. I started out on a step towards them but I was stopped.

'Don't move...' Syaoran commanded me strictly. I stopped moving immediately. I had a feeling that his patience and his limit and even the speed of his mood swing is no less than Ryuosuke. Which says a lot...

'Catch...' and then my bag came flying towards Syaoran and he caught it in a swift. I still had the paper back that contains our lunch boxes. Thank God he doesn't have it or he'll have thrown it at Syaoran too. And the lunch box is quite heavy too.

'I expect you know where her class is...' Ryuosuke said without a backwards glance and started walking again. I felt relieved that Ryuosuke didn't start hitting Syaoran there. It was very surprising for me. Because normally, even if a guy comes close to me in a 10cm radius, that guy wouldn't live to see sunlight. Well, because...that's just the way Ryuosuke is. Let alone an arm around my waist. I wonder what's happening? Is the world coming to an end or is hell freezing over?!

'Let's go...' he said and started walking forward by himself. When I didn't move, he slowed down a little. Then he stopped and turned around.

'Come on...!' Syaoran said and when I finally caught up with him, dragged me along with him by my waist. Well, he had to drag me along since I'm too shocked that he got away with it that I couldn't move.

'Does that mean that he doesn't mind?' I asked blindly. Syaoran held on to my waist even tighter.

'Yes...that's a way that man likes to use to express their feelings.' Syaoran answered, his tone full of joy. He lean down and planted a kiss on my hair. Yes, he is that tall that he could do that. So amazing. It gives me a very safe feeling. Then he started playing with my fringe again. I didn't know when it started but then he made it a habit to do that everytime he's with me.

'Weird...no wonder I never understood men...' I said absent-mindedly. I am so full with my thoughts that I couldn't care about what he's doing.

'Sakura, where are you gonna be having lunch today?' his tone suddenly changed to a tone that boyfriends usually speak to their girlfriends in. I was shocked and looked at him.

'What...? I am your boyfriend afterall, aren't I? Can't I speak to you like that?' Syaoran asked. I shook my head.

'No, it's not that...erm...with Ryuosuke and the others...in the canteen.' I answered slowly. I still can't believe that now, he is already became my boyfriend. It was all like a dream. What had happened, I mean. But the felt of his fingers stroking up and down my waist and with each step taken, I was pulled yet closer to him, proved to me that this was really true.

'I want to eat at the rooftop like I used to last time...' we started walking up the stairs with all the passers-by staring and even glaring at us, all the time.

'Oh, you mean the school's rooftop?' I asked.

'No, my house's...well, yes, of course the school rooftop! Where else?!' Syaoran stated impatiently while rolling his eyeballs. But there wasn't a slight felt of anger in his tone. But instead, it was as if Syaoran was teasing me. I have to admit, I kindda like him more now.

'I didn't know that you used to eat in school...I didn't even know that you used to come to school for you to be able to eat in school...' I was distracted. You mean such kind of a guy did come to school and I didn't notice him?!

'I can't believe that I actually fell in love with such a blur girl like you...' he said, not even caring that I have already overheard what he said.

'What did you say?!' I grinned evilly and said it in the most threatening voice I could manage.

'But there's an advantage...then I wouldn't be afraid that anyone would snatch you away from me...' I looked at him closely and for the first time for so long, I've finally got a chance to see him up close. He looked extraordinary hot and cute that it has caused my little delicate heart to beat faster and faster with every moment I looked at him.

'If you keep on staring at me like that, I can't guarantee that I would be able to restrain myself for doing things that I can't even imagine doing to any other girl. The crave that I have for you is not what I have for every girl, you know...' this made me blushed.

I was so relieved when we finally reached the classroom and I took my bag from him, preventing him from coming into the class and creating chaos that is more that it is already creating only with him standing outside the door.

'Sakura...' he called softly after I turned around, heading into the class room. I turned around again. 'Remember lunch, okay? In the roof top...'

'I think I would be a little late because I have to pass Ryuosuke's lunch box to him first...' I looked at him apologetically.

'Okay, fine...lunch is one and a half hours, right? I'll give you ten minutes.' he said and left before I could say anything. I looked at him as he continued walking down the corridors and vanish from sight into his classroom. It gave me a really lonely feeling. Like I wanted to be closer to this guy in front of me and know more about him. His silent figure, attracting me to him even more than I already am.

Is he really gonna be my boyfriend from now on? Will he be like the other boyfriends that Tomoyo had? No, I'm sure that he's different. I can feel it.
