A month past quickly in the city. Sakura spent most of her time alone, again. Syaoran would still silently accompany her to her sanctuary in the basement. She still hadn't noticed him. It was soon to be autumn break. A week and a half of no classes. Most students planed to go home. But not all.
One morning, after Advance Acting, Syaoran caught Sakura alone. "Hey Sakura!" Sakura turned around. "Hey, since we don't have Ensemble today, would you like to come with me to the mall or something."
"Sure." Minutes passed in silence as they walked the blocks to the nearest mall. Suddenly Sakura spoke. "About that day, I'm.."
"No need to apologize. I'm sure you had something more important that to eat with me."
"It's not that Syaoran. It's just that...Well...I wasn't ready to tell you why I separate myself from others."
"Are you ready now?"
"I don't think so." Syaoran looked at her sadly. "Syaoran, Tomoyo told me that you worry about me. Is it true?"
"Yes. I do. I want so much to be closer to you. But you won't give me the time of day to get closer. Why Sakura? Why?"
"I'm afraid of you Syaoran."
"Afraid of me? Why?"
Sakura gave an embarrassed chuckle. "Because you're funny. You're the kind of person I would have used to hang around with. I used to be like Tomoyo and Chiharu, I would do anything for a laugh. But I'm more afraid of you, because.."
Syaoran stopped in front of her. "Because..why?"
Sakura looked around quickly. "I gotta go. I'm sorry. Bye!" she quickly ran down an ally that was a short cut back to the dorm. He stood there and watched her go. What scared her off? he thought.
Sakura returned to her dorm. As she headed towards her room she noticed something out of place. "Chiharu? What are you doing up there?" she asked. Her friend was surrounded by a cocoon of duct tape attached to the wall 3 feet up.
"Oh, just 'hanging' around." Chiharu joked.
"How long have you been up there?"
"Since before 1st period."
"Who?"
"Eriol and Takashi."
"Want some help?"
"YES!" Sakura went into her room, and came back out with a chair and a razor blade. She spent 10 to 15 minutes cutting her friend down, then another 10 minutes getting all the tape off of her and the wall. Chiharu kept yelping in pain as they ripped the tape from her skin.
"There. Done."
"Finally. I think I need to take a nice long bubble bath now." Chiharu said rubbing her arms as she entered their room going straight to the bathroom. "Tell the teacher that I had an emergency and won't be in class."
"I would but I'm not going to class." Chiharu stopped and looked at the girl. "I've got something else to do."
"OK. See ya then." And Chiharu closed the door.
-later that night-
The floor 10 students sat in the common room, some studying, some making out, some eating what they considered as dinner, and some not there at all. Syaoran and the gang kept down with the antics tonight. They'd been written up by the floor monitors one too many times. Everyone's attention turned to the elevators as the ding echoed through the semi quiet room. A tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped out. And looked around the room.
"Does anyone know where I can find Sakura Kinomoto?" he asked.
"Yea, her room is..." Eriol started, but was cut off.
"She's not here." Syaoran said from behind the guy.
"Do you know where she is?"
Syaoran was about to answer when there was a voice from behind him, "Hayden?"
"Sakura?" Sakura quickly ran to the mystery man and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you so much Hayden!" for the first time in a long time Syaoran saw that Sakura was happy. Purely happy. Whoever this guy was, he was important to her.
"I missed you too, Sakura." They broke the hug.
"Come on, I'll show you my room." She took his hand and led him down the hall, talking animatedly with him all the way, until they disappeared into her room.
Tomoyo came behind Syaoran. "Who's the guy?"
"Hayden something. He's a friend of Sakura's I guess." He replied sadly.
"Boyfriend?"
"I don't know. I honestly don't know."
-Sakura's room-
"Hayden! It's been so long. I haven't seen you since.."
"I know. I know. But I thought I'd come and see how you were doing here."
"I'm doing great. My roommates are nice."
"Make any other friends? Any boys?" Hayden chuckled. "That one out in the common room seemed to defend you nicely."
Sakura blushed. "No. I haven't made any other real friends. And I haven't really given Syaoran the chance he should probably get."
"Why not?"
"You remember what happened."
"What's that got to do with anything?"
"I've seen them. Today in the city, when I was with Syaoran. They've been following me."
