Chapter Twelve: Friends Are Forever
Tomoyo, Eriol and Meilin were all sitting underneath the shade that the tall cherry blossom tree provided. Each and every one of them were in deep conversation with one another.
"I'm worried about Sakura." Tomoyo said, her tone full of worry, "Ever since that day with Faye, I've been such a nervous wreck!"
Eriol nodded, pulling Tomoyo closer to him, "It's like she is trying to push us away..."
Meilin shook her head in frustration, "I just don't get why she is even keeping this from us!"
"Give her time..." Eriol said wisely.
"Sakura's heading this way..." Tomoyo announced quietly, noticing a joyful Sakura skipping towards them.
"Hi everyone!" Sakura greeted, an actual smile was placed on her face. She had woken up this morning, not knowing where all this happy energy had come from. But the wheels were reeling inside Sakura's mind, as she recalled how different Syaoran had acted this morning. He was usually quite quiet, saying a few words occasionally, but this morning, he actually had a full conversation with her! Even more strange, his voice was actually sounding nervous and shaky!
"Hey." they all said in unison bluntly.
Sakura looked at them quizzly, "What's wrong?" she asked noticing the distant and blunt tone they had all given her.
"Spit it out, Sakura." Meilin said angrily, "What's been going on with you?"
Sakura's emerald eyes immediately fell to the ground, "Nothing."
"Don't lie to us anymore Sakura!" Tomoyo cried, on the verge of tears, "We've all been worried sick about you!"
Sakura dropped to the ground, she closed her eyes and tried to stop the tears. But it was impossible, the tears started to drip down slowly. "After my father died..." she started, "Things haven't been the same..."
Three eyebrows all shot up questioningly.
"Meaning?" Eriol asked quietly, holding onto Tomoyo even tighter.
"Mizumi changed... not for the better but for the worst." Sakura took all her courage to look at her best friends, tears still fell down her cheek, "It was like she never liked me, and this was her chance..."
"You mean...?!" Tomoyo gasped, putting two and two together, "All those times... when you always made up excuses for all the bruises that you showed up with at school...It was Mizumi wasn't it?"
Sakura's tears fell down rapidly as she nodded.
"Why didn't you just tell us then?!" Meilin asked, anger boiled inside of her. Tomoyo, Sakura and her were childhood friends, they had known each other since the first grade. Meilin realized that their friendship was slowly disincarnating, until there was nothing left to hold on to.
"I don't know! I guess I didn't want to cause anyone any trouble..." Sakura told them quietly. She felt as if she was backed up into a corner, with no way to escape.
"You know were always there to help." Eriol piped in, hoping that Meilin and Tomoyo had calmed down.
Sakura nodded slowly, "I guess I was foolish..."
"You sure are." Meilin scoffed, an angered expression was on her face.
Tomoyo glared at Meilin, "She needs us, Meilin, don't be so harsh."
Meilin's expression softened, "I'm just so angry at Mizumi and that stupid daughter of hers."
"You mean..." Sakura sniffed, "You aren't mad at me?"
All three of her best friends gave her a light nod and a reassuring smile. "We're your friends remember?" Eriol chuckled.
A wash of relief circulated Sakura, 'They didn't react as bad as I thought.' she thought, 'I should've of told them earlier.' She mentally kicked herself.
"So..." Meilin started in a mischievious tone, "Why are you staying at my cousin's house?"
"Well... I couldn't stand anymore of Mizumi and Faye's crap so I just left. I was planning to rent a apartment by myself... But then Hikaru and Xiao Long talked me into asking Syaoran... strange... he actually accepted." Sakura explained, not wanting to go to any more further details, it was just to painful to recall.
Grins were plastered on all three of her friends.
"Is there something going on you two that we should know?" Tomoyo asked, thinking in her mind that she should start tape recording again, since this was a really interesting subject to record.
"Hoe?"
"Could there be a certain reason why my cute little descendant would actually be kind enough to let you stay at his house?" Eriol's grin went larger.
"Maybe just to take care of the twins for him... that's it..." Sakura told them innocently, not knowing where this conversation was heading towards.
"Hohohohohoho...." Tomoyo chuckled, making Sakura stare at her.
Eriol glanced at his watch and announced, "I guess we should get to classes... I just noticed that you came really early today, Sakura."
Sakura stuck her tongue out at Eriol. The group consisting of four best friends quickly scattered throughout Seijuii High.
--Science Class--
"Well I hope all of you have been working hard on your science projects, because I expect everyone to have a presentation next week." the tall science teacher announced.
Sakura groaned silently in her mind. 'We haven't even started on our project yet!' Sakura thought in panic. She looked over at Syaoran and caught him staring at her. She noticed that he turned away almost immediately. 'Wonder what that was about?' Sakura asked herself.
~*~
Syaoran was sitting in science class, even though the announcement about the project was due very soon, he seemed quite relaxed. His eyes immediately fell on Sakura, he noticed her eyebrows furrow in frustration, but he couldn't tear his gaze. He almost jumped when he saw Sakura's emerald eyes look questioningly at him. He immediately turned away from her, a blush started to creep up his neck. 'I hope she didn't notice!' he thought, embarassed.
~*~
"I can't wait any longer! I can't stand all this waiting!" a voice screeched in the shadows.
"No! Wait! You must wait! The time is drawing nearer, it must be precise. Or our efforts are ruined!" another voice hollared.
