Never frown. You never know when someone could be falling in love with your smile.
Still I wish upon a star
And I wonder where you are
In my dreams you're here beside me,
Never far
Thinking maybe, maybe not,
But I think of you a lot
'Cause you are the boy inside my heart.
–Boy inside my heart, Nikki Webster.

Chapter 1: The Queer first day of term.
"Hey! Tomoyo! Matte (wait)!" Sakura Avalon called out to her best friend, camerawoman and costume designer. Tomoyo obediently turned around to wait for her, her grey-ish curls swinging around with her.
"Oh, Sakura, I don't understand why you are constantly late! It's going to get you into some trouble one of these days." Tomoyo sighed.
"Yeah, I know. But you know me. Anyway, I can't be too late. You're still walking to school." The emerald green-eyed girl rightly stated.
"Yes, Sakura. For once you aren't so late." I was walking as far behind Sakura and Tomoyo as possible, trying not to let them see me, when Yamazaki came up from nowhere and started blabbering about something to do with…. Something.
"Do you know how cheese was invented? The French thought that-" I really wasn't paying attention. I was rather busy trying to figure out what to say to Sakura today. The first day of term was always difficult, especially this term in particular, as since I confessed to her my true feelings, she hasn't known how to react, and acted as if I'm not there. "-And that when they ate it, it was totally disgusting, and-" Yamazaki ruined my train of thought. " This time-----Ack!!!" Chiharu ran up from behind Zachary and dragged him away by the ear, him still blabbering.
"Don't listen to him, Li!" She called to me. Then she turned to him. "Stop telling lies to poor old gullible Li!" I started to walk faster, as I was almost at school. Sakura and Tomoyo were already inside, so I guessed they wouldn't see me until I got into the classroom, which was fine because I still hadn't thought of what to say to Sakura yet. I climbed up one of the large trees in the playground and thought.
~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
At lunch that day I was pretty satisfied with what I'd got, after all, she didn't run away from me or anything like I'd thought she would. She had just said hello back and sat in her seat listening to Mr. Terada's lecture on play writing. I went to sit with Eli after I'd gotten my lunch, and he started saying something about how well things had been going with the world, now that he had done his job to help Sakura. See, the reincarnation of Clow Reed, (Eli) had gone back to England, but had decided to come back after, because England was boring, or…. Something. I wasn't quite sure. Anyway, no sooner had he said that than I sensed a magical force. It didn't really feel like magic, but it had to be, other wise why would I be feeling it? I told Eli, just in case, and I rushed to find Sakura. She was already way ahead of me.
"Li! Quick! We have to go!" she cried. I tried to keep cool.
"I know, Sakura. Come on." I calmly told her in reply. She smiled gratefully at me and we headed over to where the force was coming from. Where do you think we ended up? Penguin Park, of course. Where we had fought most of our battles. Where I had finally admitted to myself that I loved her. Memories of a couple of years before cross my mind, it all seems so long ago. I look down at Sakura and smile one of my rare smiles. She doesn't notice, thank god, and we continue walking. I always thought it was a mystery how she could never notice how I felt for her. I think she got her Klutziness from her mother…. As I was saying, when we got there, there was a huge fuchsia statue that had great aqua eyes and pearly white, jagged teeth. It had a very weird pattern on its body; I assumed that the lines made its clothes. It was staring at Sakura with what looked like an Eternal hatred, then it sharply turned its head to me and it looked as if it was sad, confused and all around hurt. I stared at it back, and realized that Sakura had been attacked while I was staring at it. It had stuck its hand out at her and shot some kind of energy blast at her.
"It must have hypnotised you!" Sakura called out to me. She was fine, because her quick reflexes had allowed her to get her staff and the Shield card out in time. She called the Shield out one more time and asked it to protect me from the Statue's glare. The Statue opened its mouth and shrouded me with bright purple, almost pink smoke. I looked up and saw it's aqua eyes shine bright, through the smoke, right into my eyes. I was put into the most arousing, although horrible sequence I have EVER been in.
~*~Dream Sequence~*~
Sakura and Li sit together, on a beach, talking and holding hands. They get up and start walking down the beach even further. Finally they get to what they've been looking for. A dark cave, tucked right in so no one could see it. Li lays down and Sakura on top of him. YOU DON'T LOVE HER!! A crazy woman's voice shouts out. Sakura suddenly disappears from Li's arms. "Sakura!!!" He yells out, worriedly. YOU DON'T LOVE HER!! YOU DON'T LOVE HER!! YOU DON'T LOVE HER!! The voice almost screeched with anger.
~*~End of Sequence~*~
I snapped out of it at the sound of that. Of fucking course I love her. Or do I?
"I call upon the power of my star, ancient forces near and far. Power card transform all your might and draw your power from my light! Power Card!" Sakura ran up to the Statue and hit it with her wand. It looked at me, then her, and back at me again before shattering into a million little pieces. Sakura, for the 3rd time that day, called upon the Shield card to protect us from all the sharp flying pieces of rock.
~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
When we got back to school Tomoyo and Eli were there waiting.
"The force has officially left us…. But I fear not forever." Eli told us in his 'I'm-always-right' tone of voice.
"Mmmmmmmmm." I murmured in reply. I must have looked very confused to Tomoyo, because when Sakura and Eli were far enough away, she immediately asked me if there was anything wrong.
"Li…."
"Hai (Yes), Tomoyo?"
"Daijoubu (Are you ok)?"
"What makes you say that?"
"Your eyes do not often lie."
"I don't want to talk about it." I told her, concluding our conversation.
"Hai (yes)…" I barely heard her whisper as I rushed off to Sakura and Eli. That night I went home a VERY confused little boy.
