Chapter Three

All during their study session, Sakura wanted Li to bring up the letter and finally come out with it. But, he didn't. He didn't even ask her if she received any interesting mail. Maybe he didn't want to tell her yet or maybe he wasn't her secret admirer after all.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" he asked, looking at her. "You're not your talkative self. You're usually talking my ear off"

She snapped out of her daze and looked at him. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about?" he asked, writing down the next problem.

"Nothing important," she replied, and then looked at his problem. "No, that's wrong," she said, and took his pencil. "See when you foil, you start with the first numbers, then the outers, then the inner ones, and finally the last ones."

"Wait," he said, and looked up at her. "Don't change the subject."

"What are you talking about? Didn't you want me to teach you algebra?" she replied. "Well didn't you?"

"Sakura, you know what I mean," he said, and lifted her chin up with his hand. "What were you thinking about?"

She swallowed hard and looked in his eyes. She couldn't tell him. She wanted to, but then she kept thinking that he wasn't the one. And if she told him he'd get mad, because she thought if he did like her, he would get jealous. But then, she thought he didn't like her, so why should she even worry about it?

"You could tell me," he assured.

"I-I…" she stuttered, as he cheeks turned red.

Did he notice how close his face was to hers? Or that she stared deep into his eyes like she loved him? Maybe he didn't, because he was too busy looking into hers. She could feel his warm breath on her lips and his hand on her shoulder. She wondered if he could feel her heart pounding hard against her skin or the butterflies flapping wildly in her stomach.

"Well?" he asked.

She bit her lower lip and sighed. "I was thinking about something that has been happening at school for the past couple days."

"What is it?" he asked, and leaned closer to her. "Tell me."

Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned ten shades of red. Her heart was pounding faster and faster, and the butterflies flew wilder in her stomach. She gasped as he leaned closer to her and suddenly, their lips brushed against each other.

"What are you doing to my sister?" an irate voice asked.

"Nothing," Li replied, and stood up.

Sakura sat there, with her eyes closed, smiling dreamily. If it weren't for her brother, he would've kissed her.

"Bye, Sakura," he said, and gathered his books. "Thanks for helping me."

She opened her eyes and stared at him. "Don't go," she said.

"Let him go, Sakura," Touya said, standing in the doorway.

Disappointed, she stood up and walked him to the door. "I'm sorry for my brother," she said.

He looked at her and smiled. "Me too," he replied. "I'll see you tomorrow in school."

She nodded and watched as he walked away. She felt her heart go along with him. She couldn't get over the thought of him almost kissing her. It was like a dream come true, well almost coming true.

To Be Continued... I know it's a short chapter, but I promise a longer one next time!
