A/n: heya guys! I haven't worked on this story for such a long time! Homework… and all the other shyt… and damn.. the final exams are next week! Study study study… work work work.. damn damn damn… ok im done… hope you enjoy this chapter as u did before on the other ones! ~_~ please r&r!! ^^
The alarm clock went off at the Kinomoto's household. A mop of messy brown hair emerged from the covers and a hand made a swipe at the clock. It kept on ringing. Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.
"SAKURA! Wake up! Today's Monday! Breakfast is ready for you!" Fujitaka yelled from outside, still holding his spatula from cooking the pancakes. Sakura groaned and stumbled out of bed. She winced as she banged her foot against her drawer, and she stretched. Pain was felt every time she moved. She managed to get dressed and get everything prepared right on time. She wasn't late for school for once! She was walking down the regular path, the path she always take to go to school. She passed the spot where Christine and her group of friends grabbed her into the alley. She shuddered, remembering that feeling. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She let out a yelp.
"Sakura!" It was Tomoyo. She looked worried. The happiness on her face was draining. A look of worry and concern filled her eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, sorry Tomoyo, I thought someone was going to…" She needn't go on. Tomoyo understood. Tomoyo wrapped her arms around Sakura and gave her a big hug. "Thanks for everything Tomoyo," Sakura said, and she smiled weakly.
"Hey what are friends for? Let's get going or we'll be REALLY late," chuckled Tomoyo.
When they got to school, most of the people were already in homeroom. Sakura walked in and looked towards the direction where Christine and her group of friends usually sits. Instead of seeing her, she saw an empty seat. All of Christine's friends looked sad. 'She's probably not coming today,' Sakura told herself. Syaoran smiled at Sakura. She smiled back.
Classes went smoothly, and Sakura never knew that Syaoran had called the school to expel Christine. Not until Christine's friends confronted her. The bell rang and it was time for lunch. Right when Sakura was going, Nicki and the others came up to her.
"Sakura, can we talk?" The others nodded in agreement.
"Sure," Sakura said uncertainly. They walked to her lockers, and when everyone is out of sight, Nicki started.
"Sakura, I know what Christine did was really mean, and if I were you I would hate her, but did you have to do that?" She said quietly. Sakura did NOT understand one word that Nicki was saying.
"Nicki, what are you saying? What did I do?"
"Do you really mean it? I mean, Christine got expelled! The only possible way is Syaoran! He's famous for expelling people!" One of her friends spoke up. Nicki tried to calm her down.
"Sakura, you sure you didn't know?" She asked calmly.
"No, I didn't. I did tell Syaoran, but I told him not to hurt her." Sakura replied, as a rush of guilt and silent anger glided over her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where's Sakura?" Tomoyo asked, looking around for her friend.
"I dunno," Said Bryan. Eriol was with them, and he was looking sulky. Syaoran was worried.
"I'll go look for her," He said, and went back inside the school. He headed towards the lockers and saw Christine's group of friends with Sakura. Anger rushed over him.
"What are you guys doing?" He said angrily as he walked towards them.
"Nothing, we were just talking, and now we're finished," Nicki said, and walked away, followed by the other girls. He glared at them, and then turned back to Sakura. "You alright?" He asked gently. Sakura took no notice of the care that Syaoran is giving her.
"You told me you wouldn't do anything to Christine!" Sakura started. Syaoran didn't think that Sakura would react like this.
"It's safer for her and you if she left the school." Syaoran explained. 'I thought she would be glad if she left the school.' He thought. He didn't understand why she wouldn't.
"Her friends thought I told you to do that! I didn't want her to get in trouble!" Sakura looked guilty. Syaoran felt even worse now. He pulled her and gave her a big hug.
"I'm sorry Sakura. I thought that if she wasn't here anymore, then you would feel safer, and everything's going to be alright again." He said in a hushed voice. They pulled out of the hug.
"It's ok, I don't know what's gotten into me these days," She mumbled.
"Let's go eat lunch, you're too skinny to be on a diet," Syaoran grinned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Soon, the day ended. As Sakura and Tomoyo were packing their backpacks with homework, Bryan jogged over.
"Hey Tomoyo, I can't go to the movies with you tonight, I have a test tomorrow and I got to study." He said.
"Oh, okay, good luck on your test!" Tomoyo sounded disappointed. She waved as he ran back.
"Sakura, are you busy tonight?" Sakura whirled around and found that it was Syaoran.
"Well, not really, but I do have homework." She replied. Then curiosity got to her. " Why?"
"Nothing then, just wanted to ask you to go to a movie," he mumbled, slightly turning pink.
"Oh, well, I'm sure I can come then. Plus, I still have to make up for the date last time," She smiled warmly. Syaoran was doubled with joy.
"Ok! So I'll come pick you up at 5?"
"Sure!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Humming to himself, Syaoran quickly brushed and gelled his hair. He looked at the watch. 4:30. 'Better get going. All of our dates have been ruined, and I don't want this one to neither,' He thought as he bolted out of his bedroom and down those long elegant swirly stairs.
Syaoran arrived at Sakura's house at 4:45. '15 minutes early, not bad Syaoran,' He thought. Just then the door swung open and there stood Sakura.
"Hey you're early! But that's ok, I'm ready." She slammed the door behind her and both of them walked out onto the path.
An awkward silence filled the atmosphere around them. Syaoran's hand twitched at his side, longing to grab the elegant soft ones that are barely inches away from his own. He was about to grab her hand when…
"So what are we going to watch?" Sakura asked, trying her best to come up with a chat topic.
"I dunno, whatever you want," He was cursing again at the back of his hand. 'Just this much and I was going to hold her hand. Syaoran you fool!' He thought.
The movie turned out ok. But the only time Syaoran swore out loud was when he tempted to use the "old" trick and tried to put his arms around Sakura, and failed.
"Syaoran!" Sakura was embarrassed. Everyone turned towards their direction. Other than that, every thing was fine.
"Let's go walk around the park," Sakura suggested. "I don't want to go home yet," She said, thinking about the piles of homework that she would have to do when she gets home.
"Sure," Syaoran replied. He didn't want to go home yet neither. He was enjoying this too much. They walked around in silence and to their surprise, they spotted Tomoyo. She was sitting on the bench, with her face in her hands. Sakura ran up to her.
"Tomoyo! What's wrong?" Tomoyo continued to sob. "Tomoyo, tell me!"
Tomoyo kept on crying. After what seemed like 15 minutes, she looked up. She was in a horrible state. Her eyes are all swollen from the crying, her nose was stuffed and red, and her hair was all over the place. "Tomoyo," Sakura said softly.
"I broke up with Bryan," Tomoyo said softly. " He… he was cheating on me," Another tear slipped out of her night blue eyes and dropped onto her skirt. Sakura gasped.
"I told you I didn't trust him! That…" The first thing that Sakura did was to whirl around and face Syaoran. "You better go talk to your friend Bryan." She said. Syaoran didn't really want to, but did anyway. 'And I thought that we would have a romantic time walking around in the park,' he thought bitterly. He crunched up his fist. 'Bryan…'
Meanwhile, Eriol was walking around, looking sad. He never realized where he was going if he hadn't heard Sakura and Tomoyo talking. It seems like that he wandered around and somehow ended up inside the park. He saw Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo! Are you okay? What happened?" He asked, his nerves started to boil. He looked questionably at Sakura. Tomoyo looked up. She felt guilty.
"Oh, Eriol, please forgive me! I should've listened to you when you said that Bryan might be cheating on me! I'm so sorry!" And with that, she started to cry again. Eriol sat down beside her and pulled her into a hug.
"I never blamed you Tomoyo," He whispered. Sakura seeing this, knew that she had to leave those two alone. 'I never knew that Eriol liked Tomoyo,' She thought. 'This is interesting…'

I promise you the next chapter will be more exciting and that it will be posted sometime next week! I'm gonna make Syaoran's mom come back in the next chapter. hint hint I hope that was enough to get u guys excited… (oy.. I hope) well please r&r! ja for now!
