Lil Saku: I didn't expect a lot something for the first chapter because I
know that the first chapter doesn't really have anything important or cool
in it.
But still, I want to update...hehe! But in this chapter, people who will read this will finally get the story.
And I know that this fic sounds boring and so typical. But it has something on it other than bestfriend things. Trust me. So, give this fic a try.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. They belong to CLAMP! Got that?
It's Never Too Late
But no matter how hard Syaoran and Sakura wished that they won't grow up, they did.
Childhood passed them by and now both are grown up. They still go to the same school, Tomeda High (a/n: I just made that up).
Sakura is a junior while Syoaran is now a senior.
Sakura Kinomoto: the prettiest and the drop-dead gorgeous girl at their school. Not only beautiful, she also has the brains that can match her beauty. She's the captain of their cheerleading squad and she is well-known at Tomeda High as the cheerful girl that always smile, the naïve little girl who always see the good on everybody and the girl who always seem to catch the eyes of boys everywhere she goes. When you look at her emerald pools, you can see the touch of innocence and happiness that goes with her very warm aura.
Li Syaoran: Considered to be the hottest and the most-wanted senior at the whole campus. The captain of the soccer team, Syaoran is usually mobbed by thousands of girls. His well-built body and messy chocolate hair attract girls like flowers attract bees. But his most special features are those amber orbs and his smile. The intensity and seriousness on his eyes are so visible with just one glance. His smiles can make any girl swoon. He's smart, handsome, athletic and kind. What more can you ask?
Sakura and Syaoran apparently grew up to be the most popular people in their school. But did they care?...no! They just spend time with each other and didn't really focus on anybody else. Nothing changed. Nothing big happened except for the fact that they developed into matured people...but maybe there is something different. Just one small twist that Syaoran was keeping all this time.
Syaoran fell in love with his bestfriend, Sakura. He never wished for this emotion because they are bestfriend, for crying' out loud! But he did fall. And he got it bad! But all these years and he hasn't said anything to Sakura. Only one person knows, his other friend, Hirigizawa Eriol.
And this is where the story starts...on one fateful day that changed them a lot.
A teenage boy was leaning against the Kinomoto front gate. He's waiting for Sakura to go down and meet him. They always walk together for school.
Syaoran looked at her watch. 7:14...
"three...two...one..."Syaoran whispered.
"Hoooeeeee!!! Why did no one wake me up?" Sakura screamed that even Syaoran heard it outside.
Syaoran just chuckled and waited. It's always like this. They end up walking at school by 7:30 and will arrive at school with only five minutes to spare.
But while waiting Syaoran can't help but think of Sakura. Sometimes he gets annoyed because that's all he ever thinks about.
'Tell her' a voice whispered on his mind.
'I can't' he replied.
'Why not?' the stubborn voice said.
Syaoran sighed. "I'm scared. I'm so scared. I sound like a coward but deep inside I know I am. There are so many possibilities that might happen when she finds out. What if she gets mad? What if she acts weird? What if she doesn't feel the same way and.." Syoaran can't say it...it's too much to think about. "what if this will end our friendship?" said out loud as if talking to someone.
There are too many what 'if's' that he's scared to breathe a word. But he also knows that Sakura has to know. She has to.
'But what if she feels the same way?'
Syaoran jerked up and stood straight.
He hasn't thought of that possibility yet. Maybe...
'No. She thinks of me as her bestfriend. Nothing more. Just a bestfriend that is always there to give her a helping hand.' Syaoran let out a sigh. But somehow she can't erase the thought of Sakura feeling the same way.
His train of thoughts were interrupted when Sakura got out of the gate and walked to Syaoran.
"Gomen, gomen!... I'm so sorry! I'm late again" Sakura said quickly, gasping for breath. Syaoran smiled and started to walk.
"It's okay. I'm use to it, anyway" he answered.
Sakura smiled and moved closer as they walk the streets of Tomeda.
This was really a quiet walk. And knowing them two, they are rarely quiet.
Sakura broke the silence.
"Syaoran, are you okay? You seem so quiet today. What's on your mind?" Sakura asked gently.
"Nothing, Sakura. I'm just...tired" he replied.
Sakura smiled then just nodded.
'Those smile. Those green eyes...so innocent and pure'
He is fighting the urge to go and hug her right now.
They reached school and in exactly two minutes, the bell rang. Signaling that first period will soon start.
"Bye, Syaoran!" Sakura said cheerfully.
"Kay, Bye"
Syaoran went to first period and he saw Eriol.
"Hey, Syaoran"
"Oh hey.."
"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
"Huh?"
This is what Syaoran hate about Eriol. It's creepy how he know things although you don't tell him anything,
"I know you have a problem. So, no use denying it."
The bell rang for first period. Syaoran smiled inwardly knowing that the bell saved him from answering Eriol's freaky questions.
But it turned out that their professor is absent letting the students have free time for a full hour.
Eriol moved beside Syaoran and smirked.
"Trying to dodge my question huh?...It won't work. So, speak up. Oh, let me guess...its Sakura huh?" he inquired
Syaoran glared at Eriol but nodded.
"How many times do I have to tell you that she HAS to know! She has the right to know exactly how you feel!" he said through clenched teeth.
Eriol can't believe what a chicken Syoaran can be.
"Sure, he's athletic but when it comes to love, he sucks' Eriol thought.
"You make it sound so easy..." Syaoran gave out a sigh.
"Because it IS easy. All you have to do is tell her that---"
"And what?...make her avoid me and make her feel uncomfortable around me? You don't understand, Eriol! I just can't risk our friendship with a silly feeling like this! We have been friends for as long as I can remember and how can I bear it to end just because I fell in love with her!? I can't imagine what will happen to me if she gets mad! It'll ruin our friendship!!!"
Good thing everybody is noisy or they heard him.
"How can you call a feeling like this 'silly'? You know as much as I do that this is not just a silly infatuation. You have been loving her since we were sophomores!!! Two years, Syaoran, two years. You are being unfair to yourself. And why are you even thinking about the negative things that will happen? If you really are Sakura's bestfriend, you will not think those hurtful things that you think she'll do! Get a grip!" Eriol blurted out with the same intensity as Syaoran put on his words a while ago.
Silence...
"You are scared of rejection aren't you?" Eriol asked
Syaoran slowly nodded.
"You're right. Once again, you're right. I am scared to be rejected. But still---"
"No more buts, Syoaran. Give it a try. Don't be afraid to pour your feelings out. If you get rejected, at least you can stand up and say that you gave it a shot. Not some coward boy who hid in the bathroom and cried his eyes out because he's in love with a girl and can't tell her how he feels" Eriol said calmly.
"Oh, I hate it when you're right!" he said bitterly.
This is the very first time, Syaoran opened up.
Eriol smirked.
Then Syaoran let out a small smile.
"Trust Eriol to make sense out of confusing junk' he thought.
"So, are you going to do it?" Eriol asked casually.
"Yes. I think I should. And I think I will..."he answered feeling tired of the little but useful argument.
Eriol smiled in satisfaction.
Syaoran didn't get to focus on his classes. He just can't. He's working up the courage.
Lunch break
Sakura and Syaoran walked around their campus as they eat their sandwiches and ended up near the football field.
"Sakura?" Syaoran started slowly?
"Hmm?" Sakura said munching her sandwich cutely.
Syaoran sighed. 'It's now or never'
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked curiously.
Syaoran turned red. So red. "I—I want to tell y-you that...Sakura, you a-are my bestfriend. Whew. I don't know how to say this but a couple o-of years ago, I'm a=afraid I fell I-"
"HEADS UP!" someone yelled.
On reflex, Syoaran turned around and caught the flying football toward them. Sakura was just watching.
They waited until a guy with broad shoulders, fair skin, blonde hair and gray eyes came up to them. He was smiling.
"Good catch, man. Wait! You are Li Syoaran. I'm Haruki Mutuo"
And he held out his hand to shake with Syaoran. Syaoran took it like he's in a trance.
Then he noticed that Haruki took a glance of interest with Sakura and left. Syaoran felt angry.
When he turned back to Sakura, she was dazed. Still staring at Haruki with a broad smile on her face.
"Sakura?...Sakura? Snap out of it!" Syaoran said mildly.
"Uh—huh? What happened?" She asked weirdly.
"What happened to you?"
"Didn't you know...that is Haruki Mutuo! I've had this HUGE crush on him since last year! I told you that I think he's fine and so handsome right? Don't you remember?" Sakura breathed out.
"I didn't know anything about this...that you like...someone" Syaoran said sadly.
Sakura didn't notice because she was still on cloud 9.
"I'm sorry. Maybe I forgot to tell you. Well, now you know. I can't believe I saw him so close...his eyes are so..." then she came back to reality.
"Uh..Syaoran?...What were you going to tell me?"
"I don't...Nothing. It doesn't matter anymore"
"oh ok.." Sakura smiled then started walking away like a lovesick little 10 years old.
'It doesn't matter. Now that I know you like someone else'
