I
silently slid the note under her desk. She looked down and discreetly
dropped her pencil so she could pick it up. I saw her smile slightly
as she read it and then wrote one to me.
I picked it up and read that, yet again, she was busy. I was certain
it had something to do with Sakura-chan, but I just nodded slightly to
her and began to listen to the drone machine once more(the teacher...uh,
duh...). I was practically asleep when the bell rang for last period.
I sat up and stretched, grabbed the small shoulder bag we all have to carry,
and practically ran to Mr. Terada's class: Last period! I was so
excited that I almost ran over a boy in the hallway. I skirted around
him, looking back long enough to yell 'Gomen nasai!!', and took off down
the hallway.
When I reached the classroom, I wasn't suprised to see only a few people
there. I quickly took my seat and pulled out my writing journal.
See, we can do what ever we want in last period, so I always wrote in my
journal.
I was just getting out my favourite pen, when I felt someone tugging at
my long hair. I whipped around, fury glinting in my eyes, and almost
smacked the person behind me. Then I blinked.
"Will you come and play a game with us instead of burying yourself in your
writing for a change?" Sakura asked. She looked so happy, and I just
couldn't burst her bubble, so I, with an almost audible sigh, put my pen
and journal down and joined her and her friends.
I had never met them before, so I was cautious. Also, I didn't like
my hair, that was down to my knees in a braid and to my ankles when down,
being pulled, so I glared at her back as she led me to her friends sitting
in the corner. My blues eyes darted suspiciously back and forth when
I sensed a source of magic nearby.
I was introduced to each of the people sitting there, Naoko-chan, Rika-chan,
Chichiru-chan, and Tomoyo. I already knew Sakura, but not well, so
they all went into descriptions of themselves. I nodded every once
in a while and added a comment every few minutes, but other than that,
I said nothing.
When the bell rang, I jumped up, said I had some things to do, grabbed
my bag, and dashed out the door again. I couldn't believe I hadn't
been caught as of yet for running in the school, but was grateful that
someone up in the sky, be it Kami-sama or some unknown entity, was on my
side today. I dropped my bag of at my dorm room thingy, and went
for a walk in the woods surrounding the castle like school.
It was beautiful this time of day, especially at this clearing that no
one was ever at. The leaves of the higher trees would block some
of the light and create imaginary shadow pictures. The cherry blossom
trees would always have blossoms on the tree itself, and all over the ground.
It was really amazing no one ever found it. Oh well, best not think
about that...
I went to one of the cherry trees that had more blossoms on it and started
to climb. I heard a few footsteps and then silence. I climbed
quickly and stealthily up the tree then crouched in an attacking position
and watched. When a few minutes had passed, I relaxed and laid down
on one of the thicker branches. My vision started to blur as water
came into my eyes.
I couldn't believe it! Me, crying?! I reached up and impatiently
brushed the tears away, only to find more and more filling the wasted tear's
places. I finally gave up and let the tears fall, sobs starting to
wrack my body.
Why did Tomoyo have to always be with Sakura? Why couldn't she be
a good friend, like she had been, and spend some time with me too?
Why? Why? Why?!
I didn't notice the other person till he was almost beside me. "Go
away!" I screamed. The person said nothing, didn't move, just stood
there. I looked up and saw navy blue hair falling in navy blues
eyes, glasses, and a sad smile. Hiiragizawa Eriol had come back to
haunt me...
