ENDLESS PASSION
Chapter 7 - Love Diverges
Both Sakura and Syaoran acts as if they have completely hated each other more than anything. Both going separate paths, their distance are becoming further and further each day.
In the corner of the room, Sakura sits quietly with a book opened in front of her. She was trying hard to read, but her mind is distracted by everything happening right now. She couldn't believe Syaoran was as cold hearted as he is right now, after all the years they've been close together.
"Syaoran. . ." Sakura mumbled in the corner of her mouth. No matter how hard she tries to act strong, her heart is already shattered by him. 'Syaoran. . .what made you change so much? Why can't we just talk it over instead of ignoring each other like this?'
After a few minutes, Sakura shakes her head vigorously to clear her mind. She's been thinking of Syaoran for almost the whole afternoon, so she decided to do more reading to erase him off her mind.
"Ding Dong!! Ding Dong!!" The door bell rang.
"Coming!!" Sakura yelled. She quickly fixed her hair and dashed downstairs to the door. 'Who could it be coming right now?" Sakura wondered on her way to the door.
She quickly opened it and she was immediately shocked to see Josh right in front of her. "Josh? Why are you here?" Sakura asked.
Josh was wearing one of his best clothes and the cologne he was wearing made Sakura choke for a minute. Josh replied, "I was wondering. . .since today is such a nice day, lets go out on a date!!"
Sakura didn't hesitate on her answer, "I'm sorry Josh, but I'm busy studying right now. And you should've called instead of appearing at my door so suddenly." After Sakura finished, she quickly closed the door.
"Wait!!" Josh exclaimed while he pushed the door back open. "Umm. . .uhh. . .why don't we go to the library and study instead??"
Sakura was getting annoyed by him. 'God, does he get the message that I don't want to be with him right now? But, I don't want to hurt his feelings. . .' "Sure Josh, I'll meet you there in fifteen minutes."
"You sure you don' want me to drive you there. . ."
Sakura didn't even wait for him to finished as she slammed the door shut in front of him. "Phew, I might as well get ready and go. . ."
~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura arrived to the library with an armfull of books. She walked around, trying to look for Josh, but he doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight.
Suddenly, Sakura felt someone holding on to her waist. "Hi Sakura," Josh's voice echoed from behind Sakura's ears.
"EEEEEEK!!" Sakura screeched. She noticed that everyone around the library was staring at her, and she even noticed the librarian frowning at her.
"You've made it here two minutes late!" Josh said, with a big smile on his face.
Sakura turned around and freed herself from his arms. "Josh, please don't ever do that to me ever again, or else I'll never talk you!" Sakura stated angrilly.
Josh replied with a grin, and they both settled at the nearest table. Sakura opened her both and started reading it to herself quietly. She noticed that Josh was staring at ther the whole time, but she just ignored it.
Josh tried to start a conversation with Sakura, "Ummm, Sakura, I was wondering if you would be interested in going out on a movie date with me later this afternoon. . ."
"Josh, please, I'm trying to read," Sakura said in an annoyed tone.
His shoulder shrugged as he tried thinking of a new topic, "Well, how about a milkshake to refresh our minds?"
"We're not allowed to eat in the library," Sakura snapped without even taking her eyes out of her book.
Josh frowned and gave up, so he picked up one of Sakura's books and started reading as well.
About a half hour later, Sakura closed her book and started stretching. Josh also dropped his book on the table, "How about we go out for lunch on the new food stand next door?"
Sakura rolled her eyes, 'Jeez, what a persistant guy!' At the same time, she heard her stomach growling, so she agreed anyways.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was waiting outside of the food stand, just staring everywhere to keep her mind out of Josh. She suddenly caught a glimpse of a guy with chestnut colored hair. Beside him was a familiar girl with jet black hair. She stared at them for a while, and when they turned around in an intersection, she immediately recognized them as Syaoran and Janelle.
Right at the second she knew they were together, she felt like her heart had just stopped. She couldn't keep her eyes off of them, even her mind couldn't stop imagining what they are doing together. Sakura felt as is a large rock had been tossed into her heart, shattering it into millions of pieces of glass. She couldn't control her tears from falling down her eyes, and she didn't even make an effort to stop her crying.
Sakura noticed that she was eye to eye with Syaoran, who was across the road while Janelle was busy window shopping. Syaoran was also shocked to see Sakura, but in a split second, he grinned. He turned around and held Janelle's hands as if they were dating and looked at Sakura again to see her reaction. After a while, both Syaoran and Janelle disappeared on the next intersection.
She was startled and her heart stung worst than ever. Sakura never thought this day would come, but Syaoran truly hated her.
"I'm back with the food!!" Josh announced as he walked out to meet Sakura.
"I'm not hungry. . ." Sakura whispered, and quickly ran home, trying to hide her teary face from everyone.
~~~~~~~~~~
It had reach the final day of the projects thay everyone was assigned last month. Today was the day everyone had to present their projects to everyone in class as a lecture.
Ms. Takeuchi started the class with a few final comments, then she starts calling groups up to present. Eriol and Tomoyo are the first ones to present, so they were extra nervous about it. When they're done, everyone congratulated them as they walked back to their seats.
About a half hour later, Syaoran and Janelle were called up to the stage. When Sakura heard Syaoran and Janelle's name, she felt as if her heart jumped out of her body.
Both Syaoran and Janelle made an excellent lecture, and everyone clapped hard, including Sakura. When they came back to their seats, everyone congratulated them again. Sakura went up and sheeplishly blabbed out, "Good Job," in front of Syaoran. He didn't say anything, but glared at her for a second and looked away.
Sakura and Josh's names were called next so they walked up to the front. Josh started the lecture very well because his voice was loud and clear. But Sakura wasn't as confident as he was. When it was her turn to talk, she was so nervous that she tripped over a chair and pushed all the papers off of the teacher's desk. Everyone around held their mouths, trying as hard as they can not to laugh, but when Sakura looked up, she saw Syaoran laughing literally at her and didn't put any effort for not making her feel worse than she is now.
Josh bent down to pick up all the papers, while Ms. Takeuchi headed Sakura asking if she's alright. Sakura felt fine and no where was hurt, but Syaoran's laughter made her feel more embarrassed. Almost right on cue, the dismissal bell rang.
"We'll continue the projects tomorrow!" They heard Ms. Takeuchi call out before everyone exits the classroom.
Eriol and Tomoyo ran up to the front of the room and asked her worriedly, "Sakura? Are you alright?"
Sakura nodded, but her head faced down and tried not to look at them. Eriol knew she needed comforting right now, so he pulled her up and gave her a big hug.
"You'll be alright, Sakura. No one will remember after tomorrow. Here, I'll treat you to lunch!" Eriol's words warmed Sakura's heart, while the two of them walked out of the door. Tomoyo followed behind with a tint of jealousy, but she didn't say anything about it.
When they were outside the classroom, they saw Syaoran and Janelle hanging out together. Sakura wanted to turn the other direction before Syaoran see her, but it was too late.
Syaoran went up to her and started out with a laugh. "Hey Sakura, that was quite a show you had up there! I laughed so hard that I almost fell out of my chair! Maybe you should go back and learn how to walk around chairs before tripping on them!! HAHAHAHA!!" Syaoran held his stomach and laughed like a lunatic. Everyone around walked by Sakura and Syaoran and stared, wondering what happened.
Syaoran's laughing echoed her ears, getting louder every second. She covered ears, but it didn't help at all. Her tears launched at the side of her eyes and she tried to cover her face from embarrassment. Eriol and Tomoyo were angry, but they didn't say anything since they don't want to embarrass Sakura any more. Tomoyo tried to comfort Sakura, but I didn't help at all.
Syaoran's kept laughing, causing people to crowd around them, wondering what's happening. Sakura couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up and ran right in front of Syaoran. "How could you!!" She screamed. SLAP!! Sakura had slapped Syaoran's face for the first time. Tears ran down her face like a stream while Syaoran finally shut up. He held the red hand mark on his face and looked very surprised. The crowd was silent, but watched and waited to see what happens next.
"Syaoran! Even if we broke up, I've respected you. I wanted to hate you and forget about everything, but I can't!! I just can't put everything down and hate you worst than hell!! How could you do this to me?? I wasn't sure before, but now I know it. . . . . . I WAS WRONG TO KNOW YOU ALL ALONG!!! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A COLD AND HEARTLESS BASTARD!! I HATE YOU!!!" Sakura finally screamed the words out, and everyone heard it loud and clear. Syaoran was surprised to hear every word from Sakura, but he just sat and looked away. Janelle helped Syaoran up and walked away while Sakura buried her face in Eriol's shoulders. Both sides walked away, and so did the crowd.
