After school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura walked quietly along the side of the building, looking around for any sign of the shy boy and his friend.

"Sakura, over here!" called Tomoyo, who was sitting beside Mei Lin and the rest of the girls.

"Hey." she smiled. "What are you guys all still doing here?"

"Waiting on you." they smiled unanimously.

"WHy?"

"You're our friend, right?"

Sakura looked puzzled.

"We wanted to show you around." Tomoyo finally said, grabbing Sakura's hand and starting to drag the poor girl off.

"I can't leave just yet. Syaoran and Eriol asked me to meet them after school."

"Oh god, not those two..." groaned Mei Lin.

"Why, what's the matter?"

"Oh nothing, they're just, well...."

"They are just somewhat excentric." Tomoyo said finishing Mei Lin's sentence.

"Oh....." she sighed, sitting down besides Chihiru.

"Sakura, Over here!" called Syaoran's stern voice.

Sakura looked behind her and saw where it was coming from.

"I'll be back, if you guys want to go ahead without me, that is fine."

she said, leaving her books and belongings, hoping this wouldn't take long.
"Yes?"

Syaoran just stepped back behind Eriol. There was a look of curiousity in his eyes, and they were

focused on Sakura, glaring into her soul.

"Eriol, you're up." he said, pushing his friend forward.

"Um........"

"What a baka..." Syaoran murmered.

"Ki-kinomoto Sakura?"

"Hai."

"I-...I would like you to accompany me to Jin-su's Party on Saturday night. Will you be attending?"

"I-I guess...I could accompany you..." she said, sighing inwardly.

"Great!" Eriol yelled, grasping her hands in his, making both her and Syaoran sweat-drop.

"I'll pick you up at 6:30 then?"

"Hai..Hai, I'll be ready."

"Great!" he yelled once more, his heart being overjoyed.

"Come on Eriol, we gotta go." Syaoran sighed, dragging his friend by the collar.

"Till then, Kinomoto Sakura, till then!" he yelled as they rounded the corner of the building.

Sakura laughed and sighed as she walked back to where her friends were waiting patiently for her.

"Ready?" she asked.

"What was that about?" Mei Lin asked laughing.

"Oh, nothing, Eriol just asked me to Jin su's party." she sighed, knowing they were going to make a big deal out of it.

"Oh my god! Sakura! You've got to be kidding me!"

"Nope."

Tomoyo and Mei Lin both about fell out of their seats laughing.

"Hey, what's so funny?"

"GO-gomen!" they said trying to straighten out their laughter, and their faces as well.

"It's just that he's like that with all the girls. He thinks their his 'Soul Mate' "

Sakura blushed heavily at hearing this.

"Soul Mate?" she repeated, not believing how bad they were making ths out to be.

"Hai."

"And what's wrong with that?"

"Never mind..." they both sighed, fully recovering from their laughing fit.

"Let's go." Tomoyo said, dragging Sakura and Mei Lin to her car.

"Where are we going?"

"To the biggest mall around." she said, cranking up the music and spinning out of the parking lot
