Syaoran's P.O.V
I ended up getting top bunk. Takashi was on the bottom. When we were all done getting settled, we went outside for lunch. We had Hamburgers and French fries. I sat next to Sakura and Takashi. Tomoyo sat across from Sakura and Eriol sat next to her.
After lunch was when the fun started. We were going to go for a scavenger hunt with our partners. The first opportunity to make a move. We stood in front of the forest. We were given a compass and a map of where to find the items on the map.
Sent off in different directions, we went straight into the woods. I could hear the crunch of the brush beneath my feet as I walked. Our first task was to find a mirror. I thought this was pretty pointless. We walked together, shoulders brushing against each other unnoticed. It caused me to blush several times, but she didn't notice.
We came to a fork in the road eventually. I took out a map. We had to turn right. "We have to go right." I told her pointing right. She nodded and we continued on our way.
"I'm so tiered," Sakura finally told me after about an hour. We had found the mirror and another object. We were now in a clearing surrounded by trees. Brush was spread across the ground creating a blanket. "Can we stop?" She asked me sitting down.
"I guess so," I shrugged. She whipped her forehead off with a washcloth. Taking a bottle of water from her mini backpack, she took a drink. I sat down next to her, my heart pounding inside my ribcage.
"I don't bite, I promise," She explained laughing a little. I was kind of far away from her. I blushed, so I looked down to conceal my burning face.
She gave me a confused look. She was so dense. Not that this was bad, I loved her to death, but I wish she would get the hint. I mean, it seemed everyone knew I liked her. I think even our teachers because They've kept us seated together. We were always in the same group, and once I think Ms. Muzuki winked at me before we went into the woods.
"Isn't it kind of funny everyone thinks we're together?" She breaks the silence.
"Yeah, even our teachers think so." I add.
Sakura's P.O.V
"I don't think it's such a farfetched idea, ne?" WHAT!? Sakura-baka shut that hole in your face!!!
"Wha-what do you mean?" Syaoran asked me. Maybe this was a bad idea! It'll never work out!
"Oh Never mind!" I say getting up and running away. I wish I hadn't done that.
"Uh, Tomoyo, I like you too, I might even love you," He confessed to my best friend. I smiled at her happy face. She smiled brightly and flung herself into him. She wrapped her arms around the blue haired boy and gave him a gentle kiss.
I heard something moving behind me. I look behind me to see Syaoran, still a little red from running to catch up with me. I put a finger to my lips telling him to be quiet. I ushered him up.
He took one look and smiled at the embracing couple. I smiled at him. He gave me a quick smile. We trudged away giving them privacy.
"I didn't know he had it in him," Syaoran shook his head.
"Don't you wish you were in love?" He asks me.
Syaoran's P.O.V
WHY?! Idiot! WHY!!!
"Oh," Was all I could say as we walked back onto the trail.
"Well what about you?" She asked me.
"Well, yeah, I guess I am in love." I answer truthfully.
"Remember the time we both had a crush on Yuki?" She asked
"It wasn't a crush! I was just worshiping his powers! I didn't know," I tell her blushing. I was getting good at concealing that horrible burning in my face.
"Well, I don't want to talk about this, maybe I'll tell you later?" God she was dense.
"Okay!" She said "And I'll tell you later who I love," She said happily. Maybe, if I'm lucky, it'll be me. "I still can't believe what I saw, I mean, the LAST person I would see frenching Tomoyo was Eriol! But they do make a cute couple…."Sakura trailed off.
We returned safely when we were finished. Eriol and Tomoyo were the last group to come out. They were holding hands and smiling. In a way, I was happy for them. It was now around four, and everyone went back to their cabins for a quick rest before dinner.
Sakura's P.O.V
"SO SPILL!" I ask Tomoyo. I was leaning over the top bunk looking at Tomoyo. She blushed crisom. Hehe I was evil.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" Her face bright pink.
"You and Eriol!" All the girls were all listening intently.
"Are you guys an item?" Naoko asked. This sent Tomoyo overboard. She placed a pillow over her face. I think we all got the message. We chatted about who's the cutest boy and whom we want to go out with. Surprisingly, everyone thought Syaoran was the cutest.
Maybe I should tell him fast. I mean he could go out literally anyone he wanted to.
Syaoran's P.O.V
"Hey, Eriol, why were you being so friendly with Tomoyo?" I asked teasingly. Hehe, He was blushing. Mission accomplished!
Dinner was boring and uneventful. We all basically ate in silence. That's all. Takashi and Chicaru (SP?) talked about how beautiful everything was. And that was about the only conversation to be heard at the picnic table.
At the end when we were to return to our cabin's, Sakura pulled me aside and said, "Meet me here, midnight." She said it in a hushed voice. I don't think she wanted anyone to know. I guess I would too.
Time passed slowly as 7:00 peered through. Then 9:00 just as slow. Then 10:00 came and our lights had to go off. Finally! Midnight. I crept out of bed and as soon as my foot hit the rusty floorboards it gave an eerie sound. I soon found a flashlight on me and eliminated blue hair. "What are you doing?" He asks me,
"Meeting someone," I say innocently. A sly smile inches across his face and leaves me to go.
The woods looked cold and dark this time of the night. I see Sakura dimly sitting on a picnic table. I walk over to her and sit across from her. "What's up?" I asked her. My heart pounding, I was almost sure she could hear it. She motioned for me to sit next to her. SO I did.
"I have something to tell you, It's been bottled up for so long, sometimes I forget it's there," she says looking down at some brush. "But I know it's there because it somehow always comes through." OHMYGOD! She might feel the same way!!! "Syaoran Li, I've had emotions toward you nothing can stop them." Se took one of my hands. "And I-I-" She didn't Finished. I finished it for her by placing my mouth over hers.
She didn't force me back. She returned in. All of our concealed emotions came out. She now knew. We broke apart when we were out of breath. She smiled at me. But that didn't last long because she kissed me again.
A flashlight interrupted us. We broke apart abruptly. It was Ms. Muzuki. "It's after hours you two, your not supposed to be out here," She smiled. This was the weirdest thing. "No, I won't tell," Both of our faces were burning. The last thing you would expect was you teacher smiling at you after you kissed someone. We live in a strange world. And Sakura is in the center of it.
