Love is Near, Just Search For It

As Eli sat down, he whispered, "Hello, Tomoyo-chan." and he glanced at Tomoyo with his glittering eyes.

His warm greeting surprised Tomoyo. She started to blush and turned to the other side of the room, trying desperately to hide her on-coming blush.

"Um…" she just couldn't place the feeling that she got from looking at him.

Sakura and Syaoran watched the two of them in plain happiness.

"Tomoyo has finally found someone she likes!" Sakura whispered excitedly to Syaoran, who was sitting behind her.

"Yeah…and now she'll stop embarrassing us with a sudden "kawaii" because now she's got her own, "kawaii" guy," Syaoran replied back.

(AN: Tomoyo and Eli sit next each other, Syaoran and Alan sit in the two seats behind them, and then Sakura sits alone in the back. ^.^)

At lunch…

Sakura was sitting with her group of friends, as usual.

"Hello Sakura." Alan suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind Sakura at the regular lunch table.

Sakura peaked up towards his direction. "Oh hi Alan!"

"Well, you know that I'm new to the school and all…and I was hoping, maybe you could show me around?" he asked politely.

Syaoran, who always sat right next to Sakura at lunch, was flaming hot with jealousy. 'He's new to the school, and already he's hitting on MY Sakura! Arrrgg…'

"Um…sure! Why not? As long as Syaoran doesn't mind me spending the time with you in the afternoon showing you around instead of with him…" Sakura turned to her right to ask a red-faced Syaoran. "Syaoran? Are you okay?"

Syaoran was deep in thought on how to get rid of Alan. "Oh huh? Of course I mind that you-" Then he felt a strange stare from Alan that seemed to be transferring conversation into his mind.

'Syaoran, with you being such a good sorcerer and all, don't you think it's a bit selfish to not trust your girlfriend with a complete stranger like me, hm?' Alan's threatening voice echoed into Syaoran's mind.

"Um…"Syaoran started after receiving the message. "Well…ok then, I guess you can. But don't forget that we are still going to the dance together!"

"Of course Syaoran, silly! Thanks for not being mad at me for not spending time with you today!" And with that, she lightly kissed him on the lips and turned back to her lunch.

'There's definitely something suspicious about that Alan. Hm…I'd better check it out.' Syaoran thought, he still didn't trust him, what with the mind transferring and all.

Alan, upon hearing that they both agreed, smirked and exited out of the cafeteria room.
