The dance was coming up soon, and Sakura was more upset than ever.

She knew that Syaoran would most definitely be going with Ann.

Many guys were crowded around Sakura's seat on the day of the dance, all asking her to go with them to the dance.

News about she and Syaoran not being the "cutest couple" anymore spread around the whole school so fast.

"Please Kinomoto! You're the most gorgeous..most.." and so all of the compliments about her were thrown in to make her choose one verrrryy lucky guy to go with.

But she just stared blankly at her desk ignoring the noises around her, completely spaced out.

For once she was actually the first the arrive at school, since she couldn't fall asleep with all the thoughts in her head.

It was still kind of early, so the teacher hadn't come yet. Syaoran, with Ann close behind him, came into the classroom and started walking to his seat.

For some reason that he didn't know of, when he noticed all of those guys surrounding Sakura, he had an urge to go punch every one of them and to go protect Sakura. 'Where did that come from? I don't even know her!' But he still followed his instincts to go over there.

"Your name is Sakura Kinomoto right?" Syaoran tried to ignore all of the guys crowding her, but he just couldn't help but glare at each one of them.

"Uh yeah.. So what's up?" Sakura did her best to sound like she didn't care, while she still stared up at him expectantly.

"Oh nothing, I was just coming to see what all the commotion was about." Just talking to the emerald-eyed girl made his heart beat faster, but he had no idea why.

"Well, some guys are trying to ask me out.." she seemed disappointed and looked away.

"And..and did you say yes to anyone?" Syaoran was really eager to find out, and there was even a certain hint of nervousness in his voice.

"No, of course not." She didn't notice his nervousness.

"How come? You're a really nice girl from what I've heard." Syaoran blushed a bit when he said that, which confused him a bit.

Sakura barely even heard his comment. "Li… Why do you seem like..like you've really forgotten me instead of just trying to? I mean, we used to be so close!" Sakura just couldn't stand it anymore, she had to find out.

"What do you mean by that? I've never known you before." He was getting very confused, and his face obviously proved it.

"Huh?" Sakura knew that, even if Syaoran were purposely trying to forget her, he still wouldn't lie. She could always tell when he was lying. She stood up and looked at Syaoran worriedly, "Li, something's wrong, how could you not remember?"

"Uh.." Syaoran asked himself, 'Yeah, why DON'T I remember just like everyone says I should?' Just when he was about to think of something, Ann interrupted, "Hi Syaoran! Class is about to start, come on!" She grabbed him by his arms and ended their conversation.

'Syaoran..' Sakura stared sadly at his seat in front of her.

At lunch..

Sakura sat under the big cherry blossom tree with her head bowed down in deep thought. 'Why doesn't Syaoran remember?'

Tomoyo found her and sat down next to her with Eriol at her side. "Sakura-chan..what's wrong with Li?" This snapped Sakura out of her thoughts.

"Oh, I..I dunno. It seems like he doesn't remember anyone other than Ann! Everyone else is..new to him." She whispered uncertainly with tears in her eyes.

Eriol suddenly stared surprisingly at her. "What? He doesn't remember? How can that be?"

Tomoyo turned her head towards him. "Eriol-kun, do you think it could possibly have anything to do with magic?"

Sakura decided that this was the chance to tell them. "You guys, Alan..he was kind of weird when he said something to me, but I don't understand what he means."

"What do you mean?" Eriol questioned.

On the other side of the lunch area..

Syaoran was sitting there deep in thought about why he can't even remember anything.

Ann was trying her hardest to get Syaoran to eat some food.

"Syaoran-kun honey, please eat something.." she pleaded while desperately trying to stuff something into his mouth.

He suddenly stood up, spilling all of the food. He looked down at Ann and asked her in an angered voice, "Why can't I remember?! You tell me!"

Ann's eyes widened when she heard this. 'Could he actually be figuring things out..?' "Syaoran! What are you talking about?" she stood up, faking a look of disappointment.

Syaoran would have softened up by now and apologized to her, she thought. But he had finally saw through Ann's whole plan.

He grabbed her wrists violently and yelled, "TELL ME!"

Ann was getting really scared now..

Tomoyo's ears perked up at all of the noises coming from the lunch area farthest away.

She looked from Sakura to Eriol. "What's going on over there?" she stood up, along with the other two.

They all rushed over to see who was making the noises. As they got closer, Sakura thought, 'That sounds like Syaoran! I wonder what he's so upset about..'

"TELL ME!" Syaoran was starting to hurt her wrists.

Everyone had already crowded around the two, waiting to see what was going to happen next.

"Syaoran.. why are you doing this?" She faked another hurt look. Ann was stubborn, and planned to be until the end.

"I know what you did! Now admit it before I get angry!" he was definitely shouting loud enough for the office people to hear.

Sakura was thinking worriedly, 'I've never seen Syaoran so angry before..'

Syaoran just spotted Sakura in the crowd. 'Sakura.. maybe she'll tell me what happened.' He felt like he could trust her.

Thankfully for Ann, he let go of her, dropping her to the ground.

He strolled over to Sakura, gently took her hand and whispered, "Follow me."

Sakura nodded, surprised and curious of what he wanted to say.
