Study Hall....

"Huh? Anyway, will you come?" whispered Tomoyo. She was a bit confused, being as how Syaoran had not been in Japan for 3 years. When they were 14, Syaoran was called back to China, and he left without even saying good-bye to anyone. This, of course had devastated Sakura. She had nightmares and unsettling dreams every night since he left.

"What for?" asked Sakura as she rubbed her eyes.

"Shhh!!! Not so loud or-"

Tomoyo didn't get to finish because a voice behind them cut her off-

"Is there something you would like to share with us, ladies?"

The two of them turned around to see Touya ( })i({ - can anyone guess what Touya's new part-time job is?)

'Heh, heh. I've always wanted to say that!' thought Touya.

"No, Mr. Kinomoto." said Sakura, making sure to emphasize on mister.

"S'il vous plait, I insist." he said with a smirk.

"I was asking her what problems we were supposed to do for math."

"R i i i i i i i i i i i t e . . . ." said Touya in a 'Dr. Evil' kind of manner. He shot her a weird glance, being as how there was a "How to Draw Manga" book in front of her. He then dashed over to a boy and a girl at another table who were making out.

"Why do you want to go to K-Mart after school?" asked Sakura once Touya had left them.

"Don't you remember? Jenna's birthday party is on Saturday! Weren't you invited?"

"Oh yeah..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flashback....

"Like, here Sakuya." said Jenna handing Sakura an envelope.

"My name is Sakura, Jenna. How many times do I have to tell you that?" replied Sakura in an annoyed tone.

"Yeah, whatever. ANYWAYS, you're like, invited to my birthday party. So like, could you make sure that you like, don't get me anything less than like, oh say $20. Okay?"

Sakura grumbled then changed her tone into a typical sunny valley-girl tone and mocked her, "Okay! I'll like, see you there!" Sakura then literally shoved the invitation into her locker.

End Flashback....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yeah, I was invited," said Sakura smiling, "But no... I don't think I wanna go."

"Nani? Why not?"

"Cuz she's a bitch who thinks she is the center of the universe and thinks she's so rich she can burn money by the thousands. Admit it, she makes a forth grade me, of all people- look like a saint or something." interrupted Mei-Lin.

Mei-Lin, over the years (amazingly) developed into a nicer person and was only mean at necessary times. The Li clan had permitted only Mei-Lin to stay in Japan for 'certain reasons'. Not even Mei-Lin herself knew why she was allowed to stay.

Tomoyo snickered at what Mei-Lin had just said and was about to say something when the bell rang. Touya began to dismiss the class.

"Hey, Kaijou! Sakura!" Touya called when Sakura didn't respond to 'Kaijou'.

"Yes, Mr. Kinomoto?" Said Sakura flatly.

"Make sure you're home by 5:00!"

"Whatever!" waved Sakura as she, Tomoyo, and Mei-Lin walked out the door.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

Soccer Field....

It was a nice sunny day, so the trio decided to stay at the soccer field for awhile after school.

"So, what's this about Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo as they settled down on the bleachers.

"Uh.. what about Syaoran?" lied Sakura. She knew that by now, Tomoyo would have figured out that she was in love with Syaoran.

"C'mon, it's SO obvious! You said his name the moment you woke up! What were you dreaming about?" asked Mei-Lin with anticipation.

"Well, to begin with, it wasn't any of those bad dreams.... Hey, do you think it's a sign!?"

"Sakura, how are we supposed to know if it's a sign if we don't even know what it's about?"

"Okay. It's kind of fuzzy, so some parts I kind of don't remember." Tomoyo nodded as Sakura continued.

"We were sitting under a tree, it was probably a Sakura tree cuz of the pink flower petals that kept falling. Okay, okay! I'll get to the good part." said Sakura hastily when she saw Mei-Lin do a fake yawn.

"He pulled something out of his pocket and began to say a poem... He told me that I was ten-thousand time more beautiful than a Sakura flower," she blushed, "he opened his hand and inside was a Sakura flower with a ring in it. Then-" she paused dramatically seeing the look on their faces, "He asked me if I wanted to go to K-Mart." she finished, still blushing. *Tomoyo and Mei-Lin face-faults*

"Well, if you hadn't waken me up, he would've asked me to marry him!" teased Sakura. The three of them laughed when a voice perked up from behind them.

"Hey there, girlfriends! Like, let ME into the joke." piped Jenna.

Mei-Lin groaned and said, "Jenna, we were just discussing our sixth grade year, ( })i({ just to let you know, Mei-Lin was lying) and we would really appreciate it if you would please go away."

However, despite what Mei-Lin just said, Jenna stay anyways, "OoOoOoOoOh! Girl talk, huh? Can I like, tell you a story?"

"HEY! DIDN'T I JUST TELL YOU TO LEAVE!? Grr..." roared Mei-Lin, although Jenna just went ahead as though Mei-Lin wasn't even there.

"It's about that creepy Li-kid." she continued. Sakura's eyes began to water when Jenna went on about how freaky it was that he never smiled.

"But- there like, was this one time he like, did smile at me at the soccer game. Sure, like, I didn't think he was like, that cute, but like, oh my god when he like...*fans herself* " drooled Jenna.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flashback....

"Alright Syaoran!! Wooooo!!!" cheered Sakura when he made a goal.

Syaoran was the star of the soccer team, and when he heard Sakura cheering for him he smiled at her. Little did he know that Jenna was standing right behind Sakura. When Jenna saw him smile, she thought Syaoran was smiling at her.

End Flashback....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura snapped back to reality then calmly got up and walked over to Jenna with tears in her eyes.

"...Like, I knew he was going to like, ask me out the next day. But then he like, just disappeared. Oh, but if he ever did like, ask me out, my immediate answer would be-"

*SLAP!*

Mei-Lin and Tomoyo quickly snapped out of their state of boredom and turned to see who slapped Jenna.

"He- he wasn't smiling- at- you. He w- was smiling- at ME! A- And don't- don't- you dare ever- EVER- think that Sy- Sy- Syaoran- would ever smile- and th- then ask out- a- a FUCKIN' BITCH LIKE YOU!!" screamed Sakura right in Jenna's face.

At first he voice was quiet, but then by the time she had gotten to 'EVER,' her voice got louder and louder. Tomoyo got up and put her arms around Sakura.

"It's okay, Sakura, she was just telling that story to sh-" comforted Tomoyo, but Sakura pushed her away and ran.

"Look what you did to my friend, you're going to pay!" yelled Mei-Lin, still looking at Sakura, who had just ran off. When she turned to look at Jenna, she found that Jenna had ran off as well.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Sakura's locker....

'I can't believe she said that! How dare she think that my Syaoran was smiling at her!' she thought as she pulled her skates out of her locker. She quickly put her shoes into her bag and strapped on her skate.

'But, what if he was smiling at her? -No, that's impossible. Syaoran was blushing when he smiled, and Syaoran only blushes when he around you.' she thought again.

"God, I think I'm going crazy!" she remarked to herself. She skated away and started thinking again.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

On the way home....

'Maybe I should call Jenna and apologize... Nah, she deserved it.' she thought as she looked at the ground, being careful not to roller blade over any ant lines.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

Elsewhere....

Syaoran was walking home.

'Oh, Sakura, how I long to hear your angelic voice right about now.' he thought as he turned the corner.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

On the way home....

Just then, Sakura spotted an ant line. She skillfully jumped over it and looked back making sure none of them were hurt. She then looked forward and saw that she was about to crash into someone.

"Look out!" she warned.

Instead of landing on the person, Sakura felt the person catch her with ease. A clicking was heard from a nearby bush as Sakura looked up at the person who caught her.

"Uh, are you okay?" asked the stranger.

Sakura never answered back because the moment she was able to identify the person who had saved her- she fainted.
