Chapter 3

The Lonely Boy

Sakura found herself in a beautifully decorated room painted green. She saw the boy with chestnut hair sitting in a corner. She silently crept inside the room but the boy turned around.

"Who are you? What do you want?" the boy snapped glaring at her. She was stunned by the boy's reaction and couldn't answer right away.

"H-hello. I-I'm S-Sakura, you're neighbor. Your parents invited us for dinner. " Sakura explained stuttering a bit.

"What are you doing here? Get out!!!" the boy yelled.

"I'm sorry. I heard someone sobbing so I came here. I really didn't mean to."

"Why were you crying?" continued Sakura approaching the boy.

"I wasn't crying! Now get out!"

"Are you lonely because you moved?" she said making the gap between them smaller by the minute.

"No! W-well yeah, I guess." the boy looked down.

"Don't worry you'll like it here. I'll be your friend and I'll show you around. Tomoeda is a very beautiful place." Sakura smiled and seated herself beside the boy.

"Really? You would? I never had any friends." the boy asked his eyes shining.

"Hoe??? You never had any friends?" Sakura asked startled.

The boy nodded, "It's because I was never allowed outside. I could only see Hong Kong through my window back home."

"That's going to change, I promise."

"By the way my name is Syaoran and you're Sakura right." He said with a smile extending his hand.

"How did you know my name?" asked Sakura shaking his hand.

"You said it earlier, don't you remember?"

"Hoe!!! I forgot. Hehehe." Sakura said rubbing the back of her head while Syaoran just sweat dropped.

"If you want we can meet tomorrow morning. We can ask permission from your parents" She continued while thinking of the places she'd show Syaoran. 'I'll show him the penguin park, the toy store, the ice cream shop, the..' her thought was interrupted when she noticed Syaoran's sad look.

"They'll never allow it." He said.

"Huh?"

"My parents. They'll never let me out." Syaoran stared at the ground.

"Why?" Sakura asked but noticed Syaoran's strange look and clenched fists.

"Never mind. I'll just have to sneak you out!" Syaoran looked scared as he saw Sakura's very determined face with fire blazing in her eyes.
