CHAPTER 3

The next day at Tomoeda University "Li!" He turned to see who's calling him and stop when he saw Sakura What is it?" he asked coldly. I wanted to say I'm sorry about . . ." "You don't have to apologize. As we can see it, it was just a childish thing to do, making promises that we didn't even understand." Sakura is shock that she would hear those words from him, but she didn't show her reaction. "Yeah, I guess you're right, and I think we both have outgrown it" she said sadly. "Li! Liii!" They both turned to see who it was. Sakura felt ugly next to the girl who hugged Li, she possess a long jet black hair tied in ponytail, almond shaped eyes framed in dark long lashes and a slender body fit only for a beauty queen. "Li, I miss you. I've just arrived yesterday, I'm sorry I didn't call your right away, I was really tired from the trip." She said then noticed Sakura. She looked at her closely, studying her face. "Kinomoto Sakura?" Sakura was surprised that the girl knew her when she, doesn't even recognize her. "I'm surprised you don't recognize Meilin, Sakura. Well indeed she has turned into a beautiful swan and I'm proud to be her prince." He said trying to make his smile friendly but Sakura wasn't fooled, it was a fake. "So how are you Sakura? You look fabulous" she said to Sakura, who just regained her composure. "I'm fine. You look great yourself Meilin, and I'm glad to see you again" she said quietly. "Sakura! (pants') I'm glad I found you. I've been looking for you" Makoto, who just came from running said then kissed her. "Oh hi Makoto, you're early. By the way you haven't met Li's girlfriend, Meilin and this is my boyfriend Makoto Shihora" "Nice to meet you Meilin" "Same here1" They both shook hands. Makoto then looked at Sakura "Let's go?" "Ok. Guys we better get going, see you around" Sakura and Makoto then went to the cafeteria. "What do you think Li? Are they really in love with each other or just a one sided love?" Li just shrugged his shoulders in response. "If you asked me, she doesn't love her boyfriend. And speaking of which, why did you say I'm your girlfriend?" she said with her hands on her hips, pretending to be angry. "Well. er sorry. That's what I was suppose to ask you, if you could do me a favor by pretending to be my girlfriend, just for a few weeks until I settled things with Sakura" he said turning serious by the mention of Sakura's name. "What can I do, you're my best friend Li and I owe you when you convinced mom to let me study here in Japan. But what has that got to do with Sakura?" "I want to know if she loves me or not." Meilin just rolled her eyes. "My gosh Li! Are you really that dense or just plain stupid? Anyone, maybe even her boyfriend, saw her a while ago would instantly know that she's in love with you" she said dramatically, her hands on her chest and eyes closed. "You're just saying that because you're my best friend" "Whatever you say Li. I think we better start acting now, its not only Sakura we need to convince don't we?" she said pointing at tomoyo with Touya heading their direction. She instantly wrap her arms around Li's and pulled him towards the new comers. "hi Tomoyo! Hi there, Kinomoto! Man you sure look well . . how do you say it . . . old?" she said in a cheerful voice which irritated Touya * Who is this brat anyway *. "Huh? I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Tomoyo asked looking at Meilin closely. "That's not fair! How come you guys don't remember me anymore!" she said pretending to be hurt. "Tomoyo, this is Meilin or have you forgotten - " Li said "My gosh Meilin! Is that really you? You look absolutely gorgeous! How are you? Are you going to stay here in Japan? Would you like to be one of my models?" Tomoyo asked in one breath. "I'm fine Tomoyo thank you, you look good yourself. And yes I'm staying here, in fact I;m going to study here. And what was that modeling stuff you mentioned?" "I'm taking fashion designing and I need two models. I already have one, Sakura. So are interested, its for free though. "Wow! I'd love to, thanks for asking me" The two chatted for a few minutes about fashion, the boys forgotten * women * they both thought, shaking their heads.

"Oh by the way Tomoyo, I never thought that you two would end up together. Well sometimes it can't be avoided being his sister's best - " "He's not my boyfriend!" "She's not my girlfriend!" Tomoyo and Touya exclaimed at the same time, blushing furiously. "Oh ok. Whateer you say" she shrugged then winked at the smiling Li. "Look at the time Mei, we better enroll ow or else we can't rest before our DATE TONIGHT" Li said stressing the last two words. "Date? Oh yeah our DATE. Haha, how could I forget such important event" she said tapping her forehead with her palm then turned to Tomoyo and Touya. "Well, we better get going, this is a busy afternoon for us." "See you around" Li said then pulled Meilin towards the bulding, which left Tomoy and Touya alone and avoiding each other's eyes. "Well, I think I better go now, its almost time for my next class. Thanks for the lunch, I had a wonderful time." "No problem. I too, had a wonderful time" he said, his hands on his nape. "okay, bye" "Tomoyo wait!" "yes ?" "Look .. um .. do you think we could do this again. You know have lunch or perhaps dinner" "Oh I'd love to! I mean ahem.. that would be great. But will I be safe from your girlfriends? What if one of them suddenly stabbed me behind my back" Touya gave a throaty laugh "I bet my sister gave you that Idea."
