Third last chapter, coming right up. Enjoy it y'all.
Sakura arrived in her dorm and looked around. She was one of the people who didn't have any roommates.
Looking around, she saw that the room wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. To her left was a table on a red rug with a cream colored couch against the wall behind it. Above it was a window with a window seat, which looked down on the front courtyard. On the other side of the table were wooden shelves on which she could put her clothes on. To the right of the couch, in front of the doorway, was a small fireplace, and to the right of that was a large wooden desk with a rolling chair. On the far side of her room was her bed with a small bedside table and a lamp on it.
Sighing, she started to unpack. After, she would go and explore a bit and make some new friends.
Walking around in the front courtyard, Sakura looked up at the building she was now living in, trying to find her room, or rather, the window of her room.
She suddenly stumbled as someone bumped into her. Turning around, Sakura saw that it was a girl, about the same age as she was.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" Exclaimed the girl that bumped into her.
Sakura smiled. "I'm fine." The girl had shoulder length black hair, and a round face with dark brown eyes that were framed by her glasses. She was wearing sweats and a t-shirt that said: 'I'm a tomboy. So?'
The girl stuck her hand out. "My name's Lexi. How 'bout yours?"
"Sakura. I'm new here, so could you maybe show me around a bit?" Sakura shook Lexi's hand.
"I was just about to offer. This is my second year here, so if you need anything, just ask. Just let me put my stuff up in my room. I'll meet you back here in 3 seconds." Just as Lexi started running towards the building Sakura's room was in, she yelled, "Don't go anywhere!"
Sakura smiled. Lexi rather reminded her of herself. Waiting in the middle of the courtyard, Sakura looked at the green ivy curling up the walls of the buildings and the pink and yellow flowers blossoming beside the vines. Hearing a commotion behind her, she turned around.
A brown haired boy a few years older then her was running wildly across the grass to a small archway that lead to another courtyard. Chasing him was a middle-aged man that was waving his hands wildly.
"How many times do I have to tell you Jeremy?! Unless you want to get sent home, keep off the grass!" The man yelled.
Laughing, the boy, Jeremy, ran through the archway with the man following him shortly after.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Sakura saw Lexi smiling and holding back a laugh.
"That would be Jeremy. He's gorgeous isn't he? He's brilliant as well, just a bit too playful. Wants to be a vet someday and help sick little animals. The man chasing him would be Mr. Malewitz. He teaches Criminology. There's Dr. Kirk, teaches Medical Sciences, Mr. Rusling teaches Law, Mr. Petersen teaches Social Psychology . . . and that's all I can remember for now. What're you taking?"
"Medical Sciences. I want to be a General Practitioner. But why is it such a big deal to stay off the grass?" Asked Sakura.
"Oh, that." Replied Lexi, "They have some rule here that you can't walk on the grass unless you're a graduate from here, or something like that. They also don't want us ruining the grass, but if you ask me, it doesn't make a difference, cause the birds do more damage then we do."
At Sakura's questioning look, Lexi indicated a section of grass behind her where the dirt was upturned and ruined.
"The birds did that?" Sakura questioned.
"Yup, birds here are vicious little creatures." Lexi replied.
Sakura giggled and followed Lexi as she started to walk around and tour Sakura around the new campus that she was to call her home for the next few months.
BEEP
BEEP
WHACK!
Sakura turned over in her bed wanting to go back to sleep.
BEEP
BEEP
WHACK!
Sakura groaned as she slowly got out of bed and walked down the hall to the bathroom. After freshening up, she changed into a lime green shirt and cream-colored capris and checked the time.
The numbers 8 and 0 glared back at her.
Opening the curtains, she sat up in her window seat and gazed down at the courtyard. She caught sight of a bird pecking at the green grass, and a flash of Syaoran's face ran through her mind.
Wasn't green his favorite color?
Sakura mentally slapped her wrist. 'No. Bad Sakura. You're starting a new life now. Without him in it. He left you, so you can leave him.'
Getting up from her perch, Sakura decided that she would go out and get some fresh air so that she could cleanse her mind.
Walking downstairs, she walked around the campus for a while, trying to get the gist of things so that she wouldn't get lost when the time came for her to find her classes.
'Crap.' She thought. 'Now that I've thought about the green grass, everything reminds me of him . . . once again, I repeat. Crap.'
Then a sudden sense of longing came over her and she missed Syaoran. She missed Syaoran so much. It was as if it was to compensate for the times she was trying to forget about him.
Then, she spotted a lone figure ahead of her.
In a long brown coat and jeans.
Where had she seen that coat before?
The person's back was facing her as he was looking up at the buildings in front of him. His head was tilted upwards and his hands were buried deep in the pockets of his coat.
Chestnut brown hair.
But it couldn't be.
Could it?
Walking faster, Sakura's hands started to get clammy and she had a nervous sensation in her stomach.
Why would he be here?
Wasn't he back in Japan?
Hearing someone approach him, the man turned around
And amber met emerald.
Sakura slowed her pace as she came up to Syaoran. His expression was one of mild surprise.
"I was hoping to run into you." He said, "But I was expecting to do so later today. I didn't think of you as being an early riser."
Finally finding her voice, Sakura spoke. "You're not planning on teaching here are you?" Her voice shook and tears gathered in her eyes as she looked down.
"And risk losing you again? I think not." And he cupped her chin, lifting it up so she would meet his eyes. "I value you too much to risk losing you again, Sakura. I realized that when I left your school. I also-" He stopped, and started again. "Do you love me, Sakura?"
And that was when Sakura realized, yes. She did love Syaoran. She loved him with all of her heart and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
But instead of saying that, Sakura just tiptoed up to Syaoran and kissed him, expressing all her love for him in that simple action.
'This is it.' She thought. 'It can't get better than this, and who would've thought. A student and a teacher.'
Who knew?
