Syaoran's POV 2

I slammed the door around the same time Meiling slammed hers and yelled , "Damn you Meiling!" after she said , "Damn you Syaoran!"

I slumped against the wall, sitting on my bed. eiling was right. We unconsciously changed, and drew apart. Techinically, it wasn't really unconscious.We knew, but refused to do snything about it. Sad life.I didn't feel like studying so I ripped open my wallet to see the picture that Meiling and I took a few years ago while riding a rollercoaster.. Meiling was hugging me so tightly that I could barely breathe and I was trying to live by not being scared or strangled to death.

Flashback.

"Syaoran, the ride is scary!"

"I-I know, but it w-would be a-a-aaaaaaaah! Lot better if you s-stop s-s-strangling meeeeeee!"

"I can't help aaaaaaargh!"

End of flashback.

I could still hear Meiling screaming in my ear but at that time I thought my eardrums would burst.But now, her screams seemed soft. I proceeded to concentrate on my homework and walked over to the table, but I couldn't concentrate. That was the last thing I remembered.

I woke up after I fell off onto the chair and onto the floor. It was about 6 a.m Darn! Haven't finished my homework! I quickly scribbled answers, got dressed and went down for breakfast to meet an angry cousin with pontianak eyes. Pontianak means vampire. That's what it means in some Asian parts of the world.

Everytime when we quarreled, we would stare at each other's eyes to see who would blink first. But then in the end we would end up laughing.I proceeded to get some milk and poured it into the glass. i got some dim sum like Char sao paos and munched on one. I continued eating and drinking and ended up with a white mustache.Normally Meiling would laugh at how funny I'd look and told me that my mother had given me the perfect name.

"Hahahahaha!You eat like a wolf! Your mother certainly gave you the perfect name!"

But now I noticed that Meiling didn't laugh anymore. And I kind of missed her laughter and he way she would annoy me, whether I liked her to be around or not.We didn't even play the stare eyes game with each other anymore. I sighed and rode a bike to school to clear my head.

Then I suddenly realised why I rode a bike for.

"You wanted to see Sakura, you baka!" I slapped myself on a forehead just as a car missed me by a centimetre. The driver honked loudly and I "woke up."

But nevertheless, I reached school , wanting to hear her blades make the "slick, slick, slick" sound on the linoleum floor but there was dead silence. I sighed.

"That's what you get for wanting to see that girl. The more you want to see, the more you don't." I said to myself. I climbed up the stairs after grabbing the books from my locker and then turned right to proceed to my classroom.Yamazaki was inside. I didn't bother to say hi to him.

I always remembered how he likes to put lies into my head and liked to make funny remarks. He was kind of an introvert now, and I don't see Chiharu dragging him by the ear anymore.Where did Chiharu go anyway? I was too self absorbed not to notice! What is wrong with me? Whatever. I was alraedy late for my counsellor duties and the teachers watch us so closely that we can barely breathe!
