[Syaoran]
I passed by seventh grade the same as sixth, and well, for one, I didn't like it at all. Sheesh, Kinomoto's still all over me, am I REALLY that great? Personally, I always thought of myself as an average guy, not too cool but not a dork. Just your average kid. But as I was saying, Kinomto's STILL all over me, its crazy really.
For instance, when I get on the bus there she is waving to me thinking that she'll get my attention, but finally, and I mean FINALLY. It's eighth grade now, and I only have to deal with her for one more year and BAM! Oh yeah, we'll be going to different high schools. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Almost makes me giggle. Almost, giggling is for girls, real mean chuckle.
But I don't know...maybe I'll miss her, her annoying antics. Her, holding my hand at every given chance. Her-I stopped myself and blushed. What was I thinking? And did I just blush?! AT THE THOUGHT OF KINOMOTO SAKURA? (A/N: Remember, they're in Japan, so they say the first name second XD)
Dude,...why am I even THINKING of her? I guess I'm getting a little too excited. I climbed onto the bus as it arrived. When we passed by her stop, she didn't climb onto the bus. Instead she just sat in the tree near the bus sign and she started chanting about how they shouldn't cut it down. I got off, just for a minute to get a closer look and there she was, Sakura sitting in the tree.
Now, I didn't like heights, infact you could call me a wussy for it. It was true, once I had gotten my kite stuck up in the tree she was sitting in and well she got it back for me, it was awhile back, like fifth grade. Well anyway, I guess the owner was going to cut down the tree and she decided to rebel. Stupid Kinomoto, always hogging for attention I thought, but this time it was a little different because she called my name.
"Syaoran! Come up here with me! We need more kids up here to help me rebel against them!!" I don't know, me being a tree wussy after all. I kind of wanted to but, it was with Kinomoto Sakura we were talking about so I walked away not saying anything. She wouldn't take it personally. After all, she's just Sakura.
But as I walked away, guilt filled me. I mean, I just LEFT her there, all alone. A part of me said, "Syaoran, forget it, she won't care, after all, ALL she EVER did to you was annoy you, isn't that right?" while another part went, "Don't you feel bad at all? I think you owe her one, she got your kite back, helped you through your tests, was always nice to you-" and went on listing reasons of why I should've went up the tree.
I guess this would be what it was really like to have those two people on your shoulders like in the cartoons. The devil and the angel. I never really thought I would have conversations with them. It almost looked like I was talking to myself for awhile since I argued with each one of them. I guess from a normal person's eye this was what they saw. An eighth grade boy arguing with himself and then disagreeing with what he just said. And about what? Kinomto Sakura.
I spent the whole day, regretting what I did. I was just so angry with what I did, and I continued spending it by thinking about Sakura. I say it so easily. Sakura. Sakura. Sakura. Sa-I stopped myself again, what was wrong with me? Really....what was wrong with me?
When school ended that day I rushed to see if she was still up the tree, but she wasn't and the workers were cutting it down, more guilt rushed in.
I really hate my conscience.

[Sakura]
When I got up this morning, I brushed my teeth like any other day. I popped a poptart into my mouth, and walked outside to the nearest stop to the bus-the one infront of the old oak tree, yeah. I used to HATE hiehgts. I detested them until one faithful day in fifth grade, Syaoran had got his kite stuck in the tree itself. I knew that he needed help so I climbed up there myself.
And well, I went higher and the wind just rushed into my face. It felt so great. Just so...great. I felt braver and well after that day, I always climbed the tree whenever I had a chance. But today was a little different. I saw that, there was a sign infront of the tree that said
SOON TO BE CUT DOWN
THIS WEEK
FOR A NEW MALL
Suddenly, I felt...lonely, I can't believe that they were just going to take the tree away, without regards of what other people might think, I was never one of those happy-go-lucky girls who loved the mall. I just...thought differently, and then I had this urge. To climb up the tree. To at least feel the wind again, see everything from the top. At least one more time.
So I climbed and suddenly I had this idea, they wouldn't cut the tree down if I was in it, right? And I sat there, and just sat until the bus arrived and the students came pouring out of it to see what was going on, I tried to convince them to climb up with me. And then I saw Syaoran!! Surely, he would come up so I cried out to him, "Hey Syaoran!! Come up here, we need more kids!! They won't cut the tree down if we're all up here!!" My hope died when he walked away mumbling a simple 'sorry'.
I was alone, Tomoyo couldn't cut school, her mother would freak. Chiharu refused to climb up too, she said it was too dangerous and tried to convince me to come down thinking I would get hurt. But that was just the thing. Just knowing that you were taking risks climbing up the tree made it so much more adventerous and filled with this satisfication.
I stayed there, for a long time, maybe for even five hours, just thinking. Thinking about all the good times I spent in the oak tree I was sitting in right now. Thinking about how they were going to tear it down. Thinking about how Syaoran just walked away. Just thinking about...stuff. And soon well, my parents came and they got me off the tree even if it did take them a little while.
And that was it, it was cut down, and...and well I don't know, but from that day I felt like my views on the world started to change...
