Chapter 5

Later that night, Sakura received a phone call.
"Mmph, hello?"
"Hello Sakura," said a pleasantly familiar voice. "I'm sorry to call so late. I hope I didn't wake you."
"Ms. Mackenzie? Uh, no, I've been awake all night," lied Sakura. She had been sleeping peacefully, but she didn't mind being disturbed-not by Ms. Mackenzie anyway.
"I just wanted to let you know that I've thought about what you asked me."
Sakura sat up in her bed. "Yeah?"
"...Yes."
"You mean I can be your apprentice?"
"In a way, you've always been my apprentice. Yes, I would be happy to teach you anything you wish to know."
At that moment, Sakura felt like cheering for joy. (But she didn't want to wake up anybody else in the house so she restrained herself.)
"That's great Ms. Mackenzie! So when do we start?"
"Anytime you want. You can come by tomorrow."
"Perfect! I'll be there! Say, uh, Ms. Mackenzie... as long as we're talking, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"I believe you just did."
"...Right. Well, can I ask you another question after this one?"
"You can ask as many questions as you want Sakura."
"Well, I've kinda asked Li out on a date this weekend. It didn't occur to me until later that we STILL have trouble expressing our feelings for each other! Of course, Li has been making more of an effort to over come this problem and I think that I should be doing the same."
"Tell me Sakura, when Li made his proposal to you, did you accept or decline?"
"Well I accepted of course," said Sakura, glancing down at her ring. "You know that."
"And it was your idea to go out on a date, wasn't it?"
"Yes..."
"Well then, it sounds to me like you're already expressing to Li in your own way how you feel. However, if you feel as though you must actually say the words then just say them. You may find that it's a lot easier than you think."
If they had been talking through a videophone, Ms. Mackenzie would've seen Sakura smile. "Thanks Ms. Mackenzie. I think I'll do just that!"
TO BE CONTINUED
Sorry this one took longer to come out. I was having some trouble coming up with ideas. (And I'm not sure that this chapter turned out as good as I would've liked it to.) The good news is, next week is exam week for me, after which I'll have a lot more time to work on my writing and hopefully turn out better chapters! R&R!
