When The Last Teardrop Falls
Part: One
Chapter: Five
Sakura woke up with a huge headache that morning. She could still hear the yelling and screaming of Madison and Meilin's voices. Eventually she got herself out of bed and headed downstairs for breakfast. Kero stayed in the drawer until she left the room.
"Morning," Sakura moaned.
"What happened to you?" Tori asked as he sipped his orange juice. "Nightmares?" he laughed.
"You could say that," Sakura replied as she dragged herself to the table.
"Is it about the Chinese brat?" Tori shuddered.
"Which one?" Sakura mumbled.
"Ew! There were two of them in your dream!?" Tori asked as he stuck out his tongue in disgust. "Now that's just gross," he concluded still disgusted at the thought.
"Huh?" Sakura asked in confusion as she began to wake up.
"Nevermind," Tori shook his head. "Well I gotta run, early meeting," he sighed as he put his plate away.
"Alright," Sakura said attempting to smile.
"Take it easy squrit," Tori laughed as he shut the door.
Sakura took her time eating breakfast. She really didn't feel like going to school.
Finally she headed out the door. When she got to school she was late. Everyone was surprised because Sakura was never late for school. As soon as she entered the class, Li looked at her and sighed sadly, but he looked relieved at the same time. Madison stared at her, she felt bad about last night. As for Meilin, she was still pouting about what happened last night.
"Are you okay?" Madison asked a little concerned.
"Yeah, just a little tired," Sakura shook her head.
"I'm sorry," Li whispered. Sakura was shocked and slowly turned around to look at him. His eyes were lost and sad, almost cold. Then he looked back down at his paper. Sakura smiled and turned back around. Madison smiled and stared at the two.
The rest of the period was silent, Li didn't look up at anything or anyone once after that. Sakura couldn't concentrate, she just kept on thinking about his eyes. For the first time in three years, she realized just how lost and sad Li really was. He was so serious about card capturing that he practically sacrificed his life for it. He wasn't any ordinary boy, he was a slave of the clow, who carried his family curse, and now it is in his blood. She suddenly felt sad and sorry for Li. She knew that Li was really trying to change though. He smiles and laughs every now and then. He's learning how to say sorry and really mean it too. She smiled at the thought of his effort.
Driing!!
"Class dismissed," Ms. Mckenzie waved. Everyone ran out yelling and screaming, Sakura followed Madison, Meilin went ahead until she noticed that Li was the last person to leave the classroom so she dragged his outside.
"Why so quiet Sakura?" Madison stopped walking.
"Nothing," Sakura smiled.
"I know when there's something wrong," Madison looked at her. Sakura was silent.
"Is it Li?" Madison teased.
"Something like that," Sakura thought. "But not in the way YOU'RE thinking," she added. Madison began to laugh. "Really? That's a surprise. Explain it to me."
"Well... you see..." Sakura dragged her words out of her mouth.
Just then, Li was walking down the hall in their direction. Sakura caught sight of him and stopped talking. She wanted to wait until he left and was out of sight. When Li was right behind Sakura, Madison still wanted to know.
"What, is it Li?" Madison repeated her question when Li was behind Sakura.
"Madison!" Sakura overpowered her.
Li stopped walking but didn't look at them. He just stood there for a while silently. Madison and Sakura was both silent. Li took a deep breath then continued walking a few seconds later. Soon, Li was out of sight.
"Whew... that was close..." Sakura started to breathe heavily.
"So... what about Li?" Madison asked her question once again.
Driiing!
"Well, there's the bell, I'm heading to lunch!" Sakura ran up the stairs leaving a confused Madison.
"Hmmm... something's happening here," Madison thought for a second then when to the cafeteria. Li and Meilin didn't eat with Sakura and Madison this time. The day was going by really slowly, everyone just wanted the day to end. Li and Sakura kept on glancing at their watches all day long. When the day finally ended Li grabbed his bag and quickly left the school trying to avoid his friends as much as possible. Unfortunately he wasn't fast enough, because a few minutes later Madison caught up to him.
"Hi Li," Madison greeted as she ran up to him.
"Oh, hi Madison," Li sighed still walking. "Why aren't you walking with Sakura?" he asked in curiosity.
"Why? Are you worried about her walking all alone?" Madison teased. Li just rolled his as and walked faster. Madison caught up to him. "If you are, why don't you walk with her?" Madison continued to tease.
"Why must you insist that I like Sakura?!" Li stopped walking.
"Because you do!" Madison pointed out.
"I do not!" Li replied in frustration.
"Yes you do!" Madison insisted.
"How would you know?" Li crossed his arms.
"I don't need a camera to catch things," Madison said putting her hands on her waist.
"What do you care?" Li asked as he began to walk again.
"Because, I know Sakura likes you!" Madison yelled. Li stopped walking. He stared at the ground for a few moments and slowly turned around.
"No...she doesn't," Li replied softly and headed home. Madison watched him until he was out of sight before she left for home.
When Li got home, he threw his bag on the floor and dragged himself to the bed. He stared at the ceiling for awhile, thinking about what Madison said. He was extremely confused, he had no clue what anyone was talking about. Why did Madison insist that he liked Sakura? They were just friends who so happen to have powers. They've known eachother too long, to go beyond brother and sister type relationship. But if Madison insisted that he did like Sakura, was there something she knew that he didn't? Did Sakura like him? Did he like Sakura? But he'd know if he liked her right? If they did ever go beyond friends, would it only be because Madison said that they liked eachother? Would Madison's opinion on things make a difference in what will or won't happen? If Madison didn't say anything, would he like Sakura? Or wouldn't he? Li didn't know what to think.
"Maybe some food will help get all this off my mind," Li sighed and headed to the kitchen. "Life is way too weird and confusing for my liking," Li concluded sadly.
The next three weeks of school went by quickly. Everything went back to normal. Li wasn't very silent anymore, Sakura went back to her happy-go-lucky charm again, Madison still continued to bother Li and Sakura, but not as much as she used to. As for Meilin, well she still hated Sakura's guts but calmed down a bit.
"Okay class," Mr. Terada began. "I have some good news, and bad news," he continued. "Which one do you want to hear first?" he asked.
"Good news!" The class replied.
'Well, the good news is that the annual Halloween Festival is tomorrow," Mr. Terada informed the class. The class cheered loudly. The annual Halloween Festival was always something the people of Tomoeda looked forward to. The festival was full of activities that people of all ages could do.
"The bad news is, that our monthly unit test is on Monday," Mr. Terada sighed. The class moaned, in frustration.
"I love the Holloween Festival!" Sakura turned around to tell Li.
"I bet it won't be a cool as the Winter Festival," Li grinned. Sakura blinked in confusion.
"Remember, the Firey card?" Li reminded.
"Oh yeah, that was pretty cool," Sakura smiled remembering that day. "But two days is too far," she whined.
"Not really," Li began. "It's almost the end of October, so that means the first two months of school are almost gone," he concluded trying to make her feel better.
"I suppose you're right," Sakura sighed.
"You two always leave me out of the conversations," Madison joined in. Li and Sakura laughed at Madison.
"I'm sorry," Sakura began. "Are you going to the festival Madison?" she continued.
"You bet I am," Madison smiled in excitement.
"I bet you're going to bring your camera too," Li sighed.
"Uh-huh," Madison nodded.
"All of a sudden the festival doesn't seem all that exciting anymore," Li said sarcastically.
"Oh don't worry Li," Madison smiled. "I'm sure it will be," she concluded as she winked at Sakura. Sakura just sweat-dropped.
"Now open your textbooks to the review for the unit test," Mr. Terada instructed.
"Which page is it?" Meilin asked flipping through the book.
"The page after the second unit," Mr. Terada replied.
"Duh!" Madison mumbled. Li chuckled a little and Sakura rolled her eyes. After reviewing the class was dismissed.
"This unit seems so much easier than the first one," Li thought outloud as they walked to the next class.
"That's because you had help for the first one, so now it's easier to learn the next," Madison concluded.
"I guess that's it," Li shrugged.
"I don't know," Sakura sighed. "I still think the second unit test will be just as hard as the first,"
"You need help again?" Li offered.
"No, I'm fine thanks," Sakura smiled.
"Alright," Li shrugged and entered the class.
"Smart," Madison said sarcastically, then she followed Li.
"What?!" Sakura asked cluelessly as she ran after Madison.
"Alright class, take your seats and get organized," Ms. Mckenzie ordered as she put her books on her desk. "Today, we too are going to review for our second unit test," she continued. "Now open your pages to the review," she concluded. Everyone turned their pages to the review right away. She really did want to ask Li for help again, so she was determined to understand everything there was to know for the test.
'Why does she refuse my help?' Li thought in confusion. 'Did I not do a good job last time?' he continued. 'Does she not like me?' he thought sadly. 'Wait, what do I mean, not like me?' he asked himself in shock. 'I'm crazy,' he concluded and shoved the whole thought out of his mind.
"Is there any questions before we move on?" Ms. Mckenzie asked the class. The class was silent. "Good," Ms. Mckenzie concluded happily.
"This is so boring," Madison whispered to Sakura.
"Shh...I'm trying to concentrate," Sakura whispered without taking her eyes off the teacher.
"Sorry," Madison replied a little offended. Li heard the whole thing was was really starting to worry about Sakura.
"Now we'll review measurement," Ms. Mckenzie informed. "Turn your books to the perimeter and area review," she concluded. Sakura did exactly what she said, she hung over every word. Soon the class was over.
"Are you okay Sakura?" Li asked after class.
"Yeah I'm fine, just really listening in math class lately," she concluded.
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" Li asked a little worried. "Because you know I'd gladly help you," he reminded. Sakura just gave him the weird look.
"Uh...'cause I know you'd do the same," Li quickly corrected.
"I know, but no thanks," Sakura smiled and went to lunch.
"Hmm..." Li sighed and followed.
The cafeteria was crowded as usual. But this time of the year was always the worst. It was too cold for anyone to eat outside, so now the cafeteria was raided with starving students. You would be lucky if you could get food and have a seat. Li took his usual seat beside Meilin and across from Sakura.
"There you are my Li-kun!" Meilin smiled as he hugged him.
"Yep, there he is," Madison mocked. Meilin glared at her.
"Did you hear about the fesival?" Meilin asked.
"Yeah," Li replied as he sat down.
"He should've heard about it," Madison began. "I mean, he's in the same class as you are," she concluded sarcastically.
"Oh, be quiet Madison!" Meilin yelled in annoyance. Li just moaned and plugged his ears.
"Make me!" Madison stood up.
"Both of you be quiet!" Sakura ordered. They all went silent. "Honestly girls," Sakura continued. "We aren't in grade four anymore!" she concluded and moved to another part of the room.
"Now look what you've done!" Madison complained and went after Sakura.
"Me?!" Meilin argued.
"Sit down," Li ordered.
"Humph," Meilin grumbled.
"Hey Sakura wait up!" Madison called after her.
"Why must you always pick a fight with Meilin!" Sakura yelled as she turned around.
"I thought you hated her?" Madison asked in confusion.
"I hate it when people fight," Sakura corrected.
"I hate it when you and Li deny your feelings about eachother," Madion added.
"Where did that come from?" Sakura began in confusion. "That's doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about," she added.
"Really?" Madison asked giving her the eye.
"You don't know what you're talking about," Sakura rolled her eyes and left.
"One day, it'll all come out," Madison told herself and went back to her locker.
"Is she okay?" Li asked a little worried, but tried not to make it obvious.
"Yeah, she'll be fine by the time class starts," Madison replied trying to comfort him. She could see right through Li, but Sakura was a little harder.
The rest of the day was fine, a little quieter, but fine. Sakura talked to everyone again. Finally the day ended.
"What time are you going to the festival?" Madison asked.
"I don't know, maybe after lunch," Sakura replied scratching her chin.
"Can I go with you?" Madison asked.
"Sure," Sakura smiled.
"How about you Li?" Madison asked turning her attention to Li.
"He's going with me, at uh, well, yeah after lunch," Meilin smiled tugging Li's arm.
"Last time I checked your name was Meilin," Madison glared at Meilin.
"Humph, what difference would it make if he is going with me anyway?" Meilin pouted.
"Whatever," Madison rolled her eyes."See you guys at the festival tomorrow," she concluded as she walked home.
"Bye!" Everyone except Meilin replied.
"Another day gone by," Sakura sighed as she looked at the sky.
"Yep," Li sighed. "But don't worry, another day gone, brings us another day closer to the festival," he concluded trying to be positive.
"And another day closer to the end of the year," Sakura added happily.
"Right, the end of the year," Li said trying to smile, but it seems like the thought of the year ending was a bad thing.
"Well cya tomorrow Li," Sakura smiled and left.
"Right, tomorrow," Li continued to think and headed home. "Another day closer to loosing you," Li said sadly as he took one last look at Sakura and headed home.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
