Chapter Seven: Rewind and Repeat

"I'm leaving!" Sakura stated as she finished placing the shoes on her feet. She had finally grown out of her habit of using her roller blades for transportation to her school. For now, she would usually meet her friends outside and together the small group of girls would make their way toward their high school. She took one more glance at herself in the mirror, and smiled, before running out of the front door to find the usual group of girls talking and waiting for her to join in.
"Tomoyo! Ohayo!" She said, running over to them. She stopped standing next to her best friend, Tomoyo. She smiled, gave her a good morning and the small group made their way down the sidewalk and to the school. The group usually consisted of Sakura, of course, Tomoyo, Naoko, Rika, Chiharu, and a few girls that Sakura had just met this year.
"Sakura! What happened to your knee?" Chiharu had asked, pointing at the cut, which still had the band aid that Syaoran had put on it. Sakura blinked, forgetting yesterday, and took a glance at her knee, before it struck her and she began to blush heavily.
"I.. Tripped." She stated, calmly.
"Oh. That sucks." Chiharu replied. Everyone else continued to talk about random topics, including the newest gossip that each girl had heard. Tomoyo was chattering on about how the test that they were going to have was going to be very easy, since some of the other girls had already taken it and said it was simple. Sakura was looking down as she walked, too deep in her own thoughts to pay any attention to anything that Tomoyo or anyone else was talking about. 'What if he's at school today? What if he isn't? I bet there is going to be tons of rumors, since it happened to Syaoran when he went to school and when I was absent with a fever.' She looked up and around them, taking a glance across the street. She sighed, quietly. 'Your reputation is going to be ruined by these damn rumors.'
Tomoyo grabbed the handle to the door and held it open for everyone, continuing to talk. Sakura didn't even notice and slammed right into the other door, which was closed. She screamed, fell backwards, and held onto her face, whimpering. Tomoyo let go of the door and kneeled down next to her best friend. "Are you okay, Sakura?!" She asked.
"Oh god.." She said, quietly, as she took her hands away from her face and took a glance at Tomoyo, who quickly gasped and pulled her hands over her mouth.
"Ew, your nose is bleeding!"
"OH MY GOD! No, your kidding me!" Sakura said, running her hand under her nose and then looking at it. There was a line of scarlet red liquid across it. Sighing, she pulled herself to her feet and ran into the school and to the nurses office, passing Syaoran and his group along the way. Tomoyo quickly followed, just a few feet behind her best friend. Syaoran stared at the girls, raising his eye brow lightly. He began to laugh.
"She has a bloody nose!" He stated.
"Who?" One of the boys asked, taking a glance around the little group. Meiling looked behind her and saw Sakura running down the hallway with Tomoyo trailing behind her. She grinned, and laughed lightly, and pointed.
"Sakura." Most of the boys didn't even laugh, but some did. The bell quietly rang to tell the students that they now had five minutes to get to their home room class. Quietly, the boys separated to leave, and Syaoran and Meiling went their opposite ways.
----------
"Damn it," Sakura said, looking at the small folded note that a kid had placed in front of her and left before she could say anything. It had been lunch time and the group of girls were chatting away, leaving Sakura to stare at her note in disbelief. She unfolded it and stared, finding that it was a note that questioned if Sakura liked Syaoran. She blushed heavily, and released a loud 'hoe!' causing Tomoyo to stare at her, and take the note from her.
"Well, don't you?" She said, after finishing the note.
"NO!" Sakura said, a bit louder than she had planned on. The whole student body had stopped in the midst of their activities and turned to stare at Sakura. She couldn't help but blush harder as she realized that Syaoran was staring at her, as well. He smirked. She only hoped that they wouldn't scream "yes, you do!".. Only hoped that she was having a nightmare, and this wasn't reality. "Smack me, Tomoyo." She said, through gritted teeth as everyone went back to what they were doing.
----------
Syaoran hissed as another girl tossed him a note. This was, of course, adding to the pile, which was sitting in front of him. At least seven notes in his possession. Yamazaki laughed lightly, while Syaoran turned and shot him a glare. 'Well, look's like Meiling was wrong,' he thought to himself. 'Sakura getting all the attention, my ass. Everyone seems to enjoy giving me the fucking notes. It's like a TAPE, too! The day is like it has rewinded itself and it repeating the whole situation..'
Without thinking, he stood, picked up all the notes, and walked over to Sakura and her group of friends and dumped the notes in front of her. "Have fun." He didn't wait for a reply, and left, walking back to his own group, who were staring at him.
"What the hell? These aren't mine, baka!" She turned and looked at Syaoran, but couldn't help but blush lightly as he took a glance back and shrugged. She shook her head and turned and looked all of them, unfolding them and realizing that they all had the same message, in one way or another. 'Do you like Sakura, Syaoran?' or 'Are you two going out? Yes, you know who I'm talking about!'
'Oh God, must the whole world try to get into my MIND?' She asked herself, silently.
----------
"Hey, Syaoran, wait up!" Sakura said, after school, running over to Syaoran, who was walking ahead of her. He stopped, and didn't both looking back at the girl. She stopped, and leaned over a bit and tried to catch her breath. He stared at her, a little confused.
She stood up straight and stared at him. Quietly, without looking at him, she kneeled down and took off her backpack, and began to dig through them, finally pulling out a bag of neatly folded notes. His eyes widened, realizing how many she had received. She threw them at him, and stood, pulling the backpack over her shoulders. "Merry Christmas!" She grinned, laughed, and ran off. She stopped a few seconds later, turned, and flipped him off, then ran back again.
A few minutes later, Meiling ran up to him, laughing as she spotted the bag of notes. He shook his head, explaining that they weren't his. She couldn't help but laugh harder at that. "I told you she'd get it two times worse! How many did you get?"
"Seven."
"How many did she get?" Syaoran took a glance at the bag and began to count what he could see. The bag was fairly large.
"I'm guessing about 32."
