Hey, yeah well its true (not joking: ( ) but I am trying to get over it. People change and drift apart, and I have to learn to accept that. I guess I know who my friends are now…

Chapter 12All too soon, to everyone's dismay, the trip to Nara had ended, and today was their last morning, they were packing and are due to leave in an hour. Sakura gently woke up, and stretched from her sleep. To her confusion, everyone around was busy packing.
" Hoeee! I woke up late? Tomoyo why didn't you wake me up?" Sakura said embarrassedly.
" Tried my dear. You wouldn't budge. You sure are one heavy sleeper." Naoko answered. Tomoyo nodded in unison.
" Nooo, I have to pack!" Sakura shrieked.
Syaoran smirked to himself as he heard Sakura yelling something, she probably woke up late, was what Syaoran had assumed. He wouldn't be surprised, Sakura always wake up late. Syaoran messed up his chocolate brown hair. Everyone's happy to be going home, to get out of this creepy hotel, but I don't want to leave, cos of Sakura….
A wet towel was smacked into his head. Syaoran growled in annoyance.
" Eriol you jackass." Syaoran threw the towel, it missed Eriol's head by an inch as Eriol expertly evaded.
" Hmm, so you didn't tell me, what happened with you and Sakura?" Eriol said mischievously.
" Nothing happened okay!" Syaoran said exasperatedly.
" Cut the tantrums, princess, so you didn't tell her?" Eriol pulled his glasses towards his face, crossed his arm and stared seriously at Syaoran.
The chocolate haired boy said nothing. He turned around and started putting his clothes inside his black bag. Eriol stared at his friend, both in sadness and annoyance, really, what was holding Syaoran back?
" No." A deep voice filled the silent atmosphere of the room. The sun rays blinded Eriol a bit.
" Really, Syaoran, I can't see what's holding you back." Eriol said simply.
" Everything, damn it, I mean it's easy for you and Tomoyo. You guys like each other. But Sakura freaking has somebody. And, I'm supposed to be her FRIEND. Even though I hate Michael's guts. He's still Sakura's boyfriend. I can't just go and say, hey Sakura we've been best friends but I like you, be mine?" Syaoran's voice rose higher.
" I'm sorry." Eriol said quickly. He obviously had touched a sore nerve on Syaoran, and when you get Syaoran mad. It is not a good thing. " But, really, I mean, I'm not like asking you to start going out with her behind Michael's back or anything. Just tell her, instead of bottling it up."
" I don't know, you just had to ruin my mood, now I'm gonna sound like girls when they have their time of the month." Syaoran mumbled.
" Ha sorry. Just think about what I said though." Eriol said, grabbing his brown bag and closing the door behind him.
The whole class gathered in the front of the hotel. Everyone seems to be cheerful that they finally get to leave. Sakura and Syaoran's group didn't see or hear anything. But other girls have claimed they heard someone showering around two in the morning, and it everyone in that room was asleep. The other boys said they heard footsteps outside their door, when they open it, no one was there, but once the door was closed, footsteps would be heard again.
Many similar experiences were the talk of the whole vacation, everyone was glad to leave this creepy hotel, the rumours being true or not. Even the teacher was spooked, he knocked the door to one of the boys room a few nights ago at one in the morning to sleep with the boys in that room, and has been doing that till last night. When asked, the teacher turned pale and didn't answer. The teacher and the rest of the grade said goodbye and thank you to the old man, who nodded and turned back to watching the game show on TV.
Everyone put their bags in the bus and climbed in, today will be a long day, the bus will take them to the train station, and from there they will take a train back to Tomoeda. Sakura cheerfully said hello to Syaoran before sitting on the seat next to him.
" Hey, how was last night, did you-you know- have an encounter with the supernatural?" Sakura said eerily.
" Nah. I slept like a log, although Yamazaki admitted he heard the tap running but he was too scared. HAHA don't tell anyone, but he couldn't hold it, so yeah, at four in the morning, he peed on the bed." Syaoran whispered to Sakura.
Sakura laughed. " Haha. Poor Yamazaki."
Sakura and Syaoran continued to talk while Eriol too would talk with Tomoyo but occasionally Eriol would glance at both of them as their bus made their way to the Nara Train Station. And they did a lot of it too- talking. Even though in the train Sakura sat next to Tomoyo, Syaoran and her just couldn't stop talking. Even Tomoyo had to tell them to shut up and sleep.
The train to Tomoeda station slowly pulled down as it finally came to a final stop. Sakura and Tomoyo gently got up from their seats to have a stretch, they have been on the train for quite a while, by the time they've arrived, it was nightfall already. Sakura got all her luggage and proceeded to walk down the stairs to the exit with Syaoran walking beside her.
Sakura called on her cellphone.
" Hey, Michael I'm back. I thought you said you were going to pick me up here and give me a ride home?" Sakura said confusedly.
Syaoran just watched her.
" What? You're busy. Um, okay." Sakura said sadly before flipping her phone closed.
" Urggh." Sakura cursed by herself.
" Why? Is he coming?" Syaoran asked.
" No. I have no ride home." Sakura said sadly.
" I'll take you home…come on." Syaoran said gently.
" Your car?" Sakura asked.
" No. Mom's busy, needed it for tonight. I was planning on walking home, so we'll walk together, I'll stop by at your house and drop you off and go by myself." Syaoran explained.
" Ok." Sakura said simply and with that both of them were walking the luggage slung over their shoulders.
" I'm tired, can't wait to get home and sleep." Syaoran yawned. " SO unfair, school won't let us off tomorrow."
" I know." Sakura agreed angrily. " Ugh, I can't wait to sleep."
The conversation stopped abruptly, as both of them walked in silence each with their own thoughts. Syaoran's amber eyes even though walking forward still manage to see the auburn haired girl next to him, probably thinking about someone else. It sucks.
" Sakura!" A deep voice thundered through the night air.
Syaoran and Sakura turned their back together, in confusion to who's voice was that. Suddenly, Michael was walking up to both of them. Syaoran raised his eyebrow in confusion and annoyance.
" Hey, What you doing here?" Sakura asked.
" OH, well I finished doing…homework." Michael said.
" Right. SO I will take Sakura home now" Michael said urgently and he grabbed Sakura. Michael managed to glare at Syaoran
" Um, okay, thanks Syaoran bye!" Sakura called out.
Syaoran found himself waving dumbly.
Suddenly a blonde girl popped out of nowhere and was walking towards Syaoran. Syaoran couldn't tell by the darkness, but if he was right it'd be Erica, the girl in art class, who often flirts with him.
" Um, hey, Syaoran." She said in a high voice.
" UH, hey, Erica." Syaoran said quietly.
He watched the blonde girl walk off.
Something just doesn't seem right.
