An auburn haired girl was seated at the school's cafeteria, many people were around her and all were looking at her with disgust, "What a terrible girl," said a woman's voice.

"How could she say such things?" said another, whispers and insults could be heard coming from every direction, all taking about a single girl; the girl seated at the chair.

Tears began to flow slowly from her eyes; she just sat there and listened to every word they say, feeling the agony after hearing such words coming from all the people around her. "What a pathetic girl, she just says such things to cover up her own insecurities, such a pathetic thing to do," said a girl her age.

Tears continued to flow, although she tried holding back, her tears didn't stop from flowing. She closed her eyes, and wished that it would all stop, all the whispers, all the false bearings, all the agony she felt, she wanted it all to stop.

As she wished and wished the voices started stopping, she opened her eyes slowly and saw a boy and he was offering his hand for her, "This is no place for you," he said sweetly. Her vision was still blurry, she could only see him as a shadow, she rubbed her eyes to see him more clearly.

"Sakura-chan? Sakura-chan?" said the same voice as he was shaking her arms slightly. "Sakura-chan, you need to wake up, it's already six in the morning and you need to get home," he said as Sakura opened her eyes.

She rubbed her eyes as she stretched out a little, "Huh? What is it Syaoran-kun?" she asked stupidly as she stood up slowly from the couch.

"I said it's already six, and you need to get to school," he explained as he walked to the cabinet, "I called out Wei to pick you up here and bring you home."

She yawned a bit and looked at the clock, "Oh right!" as she recalled what he just said, "Hey Syaoran-kun, why didn't you ask Wei to pick me up last night?" she asked as her voice started to get suspicious.

He blush a bit, "Well, erm…" as he tried thinking of an excuse, "Maybe I… forgot?" he said stupidly as Sakura started giggling.

Syaoran chuckled nervously, "Its okay…" Sakura said as she went to the washroom, "I'll just wash my face," as she entered it and closed the door behind her.

She washed her face and used the nearby towel to dry herself up; the towel was dry and soft. She looked at the mirror and fixed her curly auburn hair when her dream suddenly stuck her, "That dream again?" she whispered to herself as she stopped and started thinking deeply, what a strange thing it is for a dream to repeat itself.

She lost track of time and hardly noticed that someone was knocking at the door, "Sakura-chan? Wei is here," a voice from the opposite side said.

The loud knocking on the door disrupted her thoughts, "Oh," she said as she hurriedly opened the door, "Sorry," she apologized as she saw a tall man who was dressed as a servant, well, a very clean and not-so-bad looking clothes.

"Wei please take her home and make sure she gets to school," Syaoran requested, or more like, ordered but it wasn't harsh it was a calm order coming from his master.

Wei nodded as he got Sakura's bag, "Yes, Syaoran-sama." He opened the door and Sakura followed.

"Thank you for last night Syaoran-kun! So see you in school!" she said as she waved gleefully.

Syaoran smiled at her, "See you then," he said as both of them left the room.

Wei and Sakura were walking towards the hospital's parking, "I've never seen Syaoran-sama that happy these past few years," Wei said as he smiled at Sakura and she smiled back at him. "Thank you so much Sakura-sama," he said gratefully as Sakura giggled a little.

"I had much fun too," she said as she recalled how Syaoran called her 'Sakura-sama'.

Upon arriving at the car, Wei opened the door for Sakura as though a gentleman, "Thank you," as Sakura got inside the car.

After a few minutes they arrived at Sakura's house, Wei waited outside as Sakura hurriedly got ready, she went directly upstairs and got a quick shower and changed her clothes. She skipped breakfast because she was getting really late for class, "Sorry oto-san, got to go," as she quickly kissed him on the cheek and waved goodbye.

Wei was still waiting outside, "Sorry I took long," she said as she got in the car and Wei opened the door for her.

Sakura looked at through the window as the card fastened up its pace, "Hey Wei-san when do you think can Syaoran-kun come back at school?" she asked as she looked the the different places they passed.

"The doctor said that in about two more days and he'll be able to return," he explained as Sakura nodded in reply. "May I ask why?" he said intriguingly though his tone of voice was just the same.

She blush a bit, "Oh… no reason, I just, well, he's being left out in class that's all," she said pathetically.

Wei gave out a little chuckle and continued driving. Sakura just stared back at the window and images of him filled her head, and also that dream she just had.

Some time passed and the car stopped its tracks. Sakura got her school bag and got out of the car, "Thank you Wei-san, and please thank Syaoran-kun for me!" she said as she rushed inside and waved Wei goodbye, and he waved back.
She rushed of to the locker room and opened her locker. About less than fifteen letters came out, she just put it on the bag and didn't read it. She changed her shoes and rushed of to her first class.

She passed by some students who glared at her with hatred, she is used to it and because all she was thinking was being late on her first class, so she ignored them and rushed to her classroom.

Upon arriving she slowly slid the door open, "Sorry I'm late Sensei," she said as she looked down, feeling embarrassed and slowly walked towards her seat.

"Ms. Kinimoto," said their teacher, "The Principal said he'd like to see you a few minutes ago, go to his office first," he explained as Sakura walked back again and before leaving she looked at Tomoyo and smiled at her then went to her way.

She walked slowly and wished that the Principal was making his rounds and wasn't in his office, because she of course, knew why she was summoned by their Principal; about her suspension.

Before she even arrived she saw him just outside his office, "Oh Kinimoto-san," he said as Sakura approached him.

She bowed a bit, "Good morning," she greeted him. He nodded his head as his reply.

"I've informed your teachers that you won't be attending their classes and that you are suspended," he explained. Sakura nodded showing that she fully understood him. "Today you are assigned to help the cook in the preparing the foods today."

Sakura nodded once again and walked towards the cafeteria. Now that the class already started, and it was a good thing in fact, because there were nobody in the school corridors and nobody would look at her with distraught, she tried to think positively about the suspension although it didn't last long, she still couldn't last thinking positively for so long.

She arrived at the empty cafeteria, well, except for the people at the kitchen and the employees of the cafeteria, it was the first time she saw it was empty and quiet, because every time she comes there, it was always filled with noisy students, what a big difference it made for her. "Oh are you the one who'll help me?" asked a chubby lady who was wearing her apron, and her hair tied on a safety net. (Is that what it's called? The net on the head wore by the cafeteria's staff, I dunno… haha…)

"Yes, what do I need to do?" she asked straightforwardly although she sounded polite.

The woman smiled at her, "You just need to help me back at the kitchen, I've been asking the Principal to hire someone, it's a very hard job especially that I don't have someone to help me, so good thing that you're here…" Sakura just smiled back at her because she didn't know what to say to her.

The woman led the way to the kitchen, gave Sakura a safety net and an apron, "Her were this every time you are here, and always wash your hands before touching anything. If the students get sick because of the foods, I'm the one going to be fired."

"Yeah," she said as she wore the net and the apron, she washed her hands as she instructed and started doing the things she asked her to.

About two hours passed by and Sakura was feeling a bit tired, how she missed class, she'd rather sit and listen to the boring lectures than stand there all morning and cut vegetables. It was a bit noisy outside; probably only some students were eating but only a few, since the noise wasn't so loud, yet.

"Here," as the woman gave her a tray full of a vegetable side dish. "Put it up on front," she instructed as Sakura took the tray and went outside.

The students who were entering saw her come out, and looked at her, well, not with distraught, was it a good thing, maybe not because they were looking at her with amusement, "Hey isn't that Kinimoto?" shouted a boy intentionally, making all his fellow students to look at the girl who just came out of the kitchen. A few laughed and stopped their tracks just to see a glimpse of Sakura working for the school cafeteria.

She felt embarrassed and hurriedly placed the tray; trying to ignore every word they were saying. She went back hurriedly too, to avoid being seen by other students as well.

As she closed the door behind her, she felt that she would cry and then hold back her tears; although her eyes became watery she continued cutting the cabbage that the cook ordered her to do. She just hummed a song to herself, and was trying to think positively once more.

"Hey Kinimoto-san, would you mind buying some flour at the market just outside the school, I ran out of flour and I forgot to buy one," she requested and Sakura nodded sadly, she will come out again, face those people and feel more badly about herself.

She gave out a fake smile, "No problem!" she said trying to act gleeful. She got the money and slowly went out the kitchen, apparently many people were really waiting for her to come out and take a glimpse of her and her, what they call, "her silly get-up".

"Hey it's Kinimoto!" shouted a boy. Many stood up from their seats and took a good look at Sakura who was making her way towards outside.

She got out as much as possible only to discover that a few mire students were walking down the corridors, "Hey Sakura-chan" Seiki called out to her in an oh-so-sweet voice. Sakura looked at were the voice was coming from, then without noticing, felt someone's lips pressed against hers.

She quickly moved back away from him, but he already got hold of her and stopped her from moving away, "Let me go Seiki!" she ordered as she tried pushing him back away.

Seiki smiled evilly at her, "You really want to see Syaoran get hurt that much?" he whispered to her ears. Sakura felt angry and shocked, although she couldn't resist him, she didn't want Syaoran to get hurt again, she felt that she needed to sacrifice, sacrifice for his sake.

Seiki let go of her, and went to his way with an evil smirk on his face. Sakura ran towards the shop, she couldn't hold back her tears; it flowed as she ran with all her strength; to get away from him as fast as she could.

It was still morning when she arrived outside, upon arriving outside she stopped running and started to slow down, she walked slowly, tears slowly falling from her cheeks as she made her way outside. She didn't care how miserable she looked; she just wanted to keep him safe, even if it'd cause her everything.

She kept thinking about Syaoran, how was he doing, what was he doing or something like that. Slowly as she moved someone touched her from the back, it was Fuji with Satsuki, the violet haired girl. "Hey Sakura-chan why are you crying?" she asked caringly as she got out her handkerchief and offered it to Sakura, "Here."

Sakura smiled at her and took it. "It's nothing," she lied as she rubbed her eyes and used the handkerchief to dry her cheeks.

"Fuji told me everything," she explained as she gave her a friendly hug, "I'm so sorry, I can't do much about Naomi but this is the least I can do."

"I'm sorry about all this Sakura," Fuji said as he felt sorry for her. "It's just that I didn't want Syaoran to get involved but Naomi really went too far, we'll try talking to her," he assured her.

She simply smiled at them, "Thank you so much, but I'm fine really," she lied once more as she walked towards the shop outside, leaving them behind; both feeling pitiful on her.

She arrived at the convenience store just a few blocks away from their school. She bought all the flour her money could buy, and as she went back the school she saw the hospital, the building where Syaoran was staying at, it wasn't so far though.

She crossed the street and stared walking again, she passed a vending machine, and was she thirsty; she took out her coins and put some on the machine. She bought a orange juice and sat on the nearby bench and looked at her surroundings.

A man who was on a motorcycle passed by, making her lose her concentration and she came back to reality, as she looked around only images of Syaoran came to her. She stood up and threw the empty can on the trashcan.

She walked again, feeling a bit refreshed. After passing by many judgmental people who insulted and called her names, at last, she arrived back at the kitchen. "What took you so long?" asked the woman as she was cooking beef stew. "Wash your hands and put flour on the sliced chicken" she ordered as Sakura did so.

It was a boring day for her, and a very tiring one too, "Good work today Kinimoto-san," the woman said gratefully, "You were a great help."

Sakura smiled at her and went out the kitchen; it was later than she usually leaves school and good thing that there were only a few more students left beind, "Sakura-chan!" a voice called out to her.

She looked at where the direction came from, "Oh Tomoyo-chan! You waited up for me?" she asked as she felt very happy that she really wasn't alone and Tomoyo was still there for her.

Tomoyo rushed towards her and gave her a warm embrace, "Why didn't you tell me about this?!" she exclaimed at her because of worrying over her. "I really wish you'd tell me about this," she said caringly, "I was really worried when I heard the rumor going around that you were working for the cafeteria."

"I really did work at the cafeteria," she said to her as she giggled pathetically. "You needn't worry about me," she said proudly.

Tomoyo smiled at her, "Eriol asked me to tell you that he couldn't see you because he needed to go to Syaoran right after school, so he just asked me to send his regards to you, and he asked if you'd like to come back to the hospital anytime soon."

"It's okay, and I can't go to the hospital today I'm very tired, and Tomoyo-chan, would you please not tell Syaoran about this?" she asked.

She gave out a sigh, "Is that what you really want?"

Sakura smiled at her, "It'd just make him worry about petty things, I want him to recover as soon as possible, so please don't tell him."

"It's safe with me, but I doubt that won't reach him without me telling him, gossips started going around school about that, so I really hope nobody in their group would tell him about it," Tomoyo said as they started walking.

"I really do hope it won't," she said.

"Are you serious about that?" Syaoran asked Fuji straightforwardly.

Fuji sighed "You don't believe me? Well then don't believe me if you don't want to!" he exclaimed as he sat at the couch.

Syaoran was about to stand up when the door opened, "You believe him Syaoran-kun?" asked the girl who just entered the room; it was Naomi.

"Is it your habit to eavesdrop in other's conversation Naomi?" said Satsuki angrily.

Naomi closed the door behind her, "Really Satsuki, I wasn't talking to you," she said as she gave her a glare and went towards Syaoran's bed. "And this doesn't concern you; it's about Syaoran-kun!" she answered back. "So who are you going to believe? Me or them?" asked Naomi as tears started falling down her cheeks.

Syaoran didn't answer he just kept silent and thought of a plan; a plan that would tell him who was telling him the truth and who was lying.

"Naomi I'll ask you this: what did Sakura do to you that made you loathe her like this?" Satsuki asked her frankly and eyed her.

She continued crying, "What she did?! Oh where do you want to start?!" she asked impatiently.

"Both of you just shut the hell up!" Eriol exclaimed as he lost his temper. "If you're just going to mess things here, you might as well leave!"

Both Satsuki and Naomi was surprised, it was the first time they saw the gentle and patient Eriol get angry as this. The three of them just went outside leaving both Syaoran and Eriol alone on the room.

"Hey Eriol-kun, calm down…" as Syaoran gave him a little pat on the back.

He calmed down bit by bit, "Sorry Syaoran-kun," he apologized as he stood beside him on the chair. "So you really think that Naomi said all of that to the Principal?"

Syaoran started to think, he trusted Naomi, "No, I don't think she did, maybe Satsuki and Fuji just exaggerated a bit."

Eriol gave out a sigh, "You really don't think so?" he asked him again.

"No, she won't do such thing," Syaoran kept on defending Naomi.

Feeling angry and impatient Eriol stood up and got a glass of water. "So what are you planning?" he asked as though he read his mind.

Syaoran sighed a bit and replied, "Well… I'll just ask Sakura-chan directly."

Eriol began to calm down and he gave Syaoran a smile, "You'll call her?" he asked.

"No," he answered frankly. "I want to know directly from her and… Honestly, I already miss her," as his cheeks reddened a bit.

The surroundings was getting darker, it was getting a bit chilly. The street lights were already lit up, making the streets a bit brighter. Sakura was walking home feeling down and depressed, what did she really do to Naomi that made her hate Sakura that much.

She arrived home after some minutes of walking; she got the keys out and unlocked the door. Opened the lights and lazily threw her bag at the floor. She sat at the sofa and opened the television; she wanted to relax a bit, even before preparing dinner.

Clicking the remote every now and then trying to find something good to watch, she stood up and left the television open to make the atmosphere more relaxing rather than silent and scary. She got the ingredients for dinner, sliced it and prepared all the things needed.

It was already 6:50 when she finished so she went back to the sofa and started looking for a show she'd like.

An auburn haired girl was crying at the school cafeteria, seating on the chair surrounded by everyone. "She deserved what she got!" a girl said as she laughed aloud evilly.

"And I thought she'd change for the better," said a man disappointedly.

All eyes were on her, as her tears kept on falling down her cheeks. "Come on, this is not the place for you," a gentle voice said.

She opened her eyes and saw a boy. He was offering her his hands, it was a shadowy figure and his face was all blurry, she stopped crying and took a better look at the boy. Their eyes met the other's Sakura's innocent emerald eyes met the boy's gentle amber eyes. Sakura was about to grab hold of his hands when the sound of the slamming door woke her up.

She opened her eyes and rubbed it a bit, "Oh sorry…" a boy apologized as Sakura looked at where his voice was coming from. "I guess my hand slipped," he said pathetically as he laughed nervously. Sakura unknowingly fell asleep because she was already tired from work.

"Hey Sakura-chan, you okay?" he asked worriedly as he hurriedly walk towards her, he sat beside her and put his hand on her forehead. It happened so fast, she didn't recognize the boy up until he came next to her. The next thing she knew was that she was staring straightly at his amber eyes.

Hey guys, so sorry if this chapter was boring, I think it was. And sorry if there are any wrong grammars or some sort… Well hope you liked it even it was a bit boring… Haha… And sorry for the cliffie?! Marty-kun
