BRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG

Sakura packed up her books as the bell signaled the end of class and quickly jotted in her workbook the homework.

"Remember you projects are due in a week! For those of you that haven't started doing research yet, I suggest you better start now. See you tomorrow class!" Said Julian Kirk.

He insisted that everyone called him Julian since they were 'almost the same age'. That brought a laugh out of everyone considering he was 32 and they were 18 or 19. He was a nice guy, about 6 foot, with short brown hair and brown eyes. He was hilarious when it came to teaching about the human anatomy and everyday he would come to class with his shoes untied, his tie undone and his hair not combed. But he was a good teacher nevertheless and everyone loved him.

"Hey Sakura." Jeremy came up to Sakura as she was putting her last book into her bag.

"Hiya Jeremy! What's up?" Sakura replied.

"Do you want to get a coffee later on? Maybe discuss our homework or something like that?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Sakura saw Julian's ears perk up and a hint of a smile on his face and wondered if he knew about her and Syaoran.

Turning back to Jeremy, Sakura asked, "Like a date?"

Jeremy blushed. "Kinda."

"Sorry, but I'm already seeing someone. Maybe we can go for a coffee anyway, just not call it a date, ok?"

Even if he just got rejected, Jeremy was happy that Sakura offered to have coffee anyway, so he nodded and walked away.

Sakura followed Jeremy to the door and left the room.

Sakura walked off campus with her pink handbag slung over her shoulder, and looked for a familiar amber-eyed, brown-haired man. Scanning the streets in front of her, she found the object of her desire. He was wearing a green button-up shirt and black pants and a forest green shirt.

Smiling, she walked up to him and gave him a peck on the lips.

"How was class?" He asked as he smiled down at her.

She giggled, "It was good, as usual. We did bone mending today. It was so cool! You can come to my room later and see what we did."

Linking her arm through his, she asked, "How was your class?"

"Good, as usual." Came the reply. "The kids were enthusiastic today. Dunno why, but I think that it has something to do with me canceling their math test today."

"Ew. I hate math."

"I know you do." Replied Syaoran, with a peck on her nose.

Smiling, Sakura looked up at Syaoran. "Where are we going today?"

"You'll see."

After 10 minutes of walking, they were no longer in the city and were coming to a field.

Syaoran turned around and faced Sakura. "You're going to have to cover your eyes if we're to proceed."

Sakura hesitated.

"I'll guide you. Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

"Ok then." Sakura smiled and covered her eyes with her hands and Syaoran started to lead her by the elbow.

After another 5 minutes of walking, Sakura concluded by the sounds around her and the constant cracking of twigs beneath her feet that she and Syaoran were in the forest.

"You can open your eyes now." Syaoran whispered in her ear.

Uncovering her eyes, Sakura gasped at what she saw. She was in a small clearing surrounded by trees. There were bushes of wildflowers everywhere at the bases of the trees, and in the middle of the clearing was a large boulder with cherry blossoms scattered around it.

With a hand on the small of her back, Syaoran led her to the boulder and motioned for her to sit on it.

Doing so, Sakura looked around her, admiring the trees and the flowers as well as the small animals.

Hearing Syaoran clear his throat, she turned to face him, and saw that he had a serious expression on his face, similar to the one he wore on the very first day she met him.

Standing in front of her, Syaoran said, "Sakura, I have known you for around two years, and we have dated for 13 months."

Sakura noticed the way he was standing, his hands were behind his back, and he stood rigidly, with a straight back. He looked . . .

Nervous?

"Those 13 months have been the best of my life, and, I want the rest of my time here on earth to be the best as it can possibly be. So, I just wanted to ask you," Syaoran got down on one knee and opened up his hand, palm up. "Will you marry me?" In his palm was a white butterfly, and as it opened up its wings it flew away to reveal a silver ring with a pink diamond cherry blossom on it.

Sakura put a hand to her mouth as she gazed in awe at the ring. Then jumping up, she hugged Syaoran around the neck yelling, "Of course!"

Laughing, Syaoran got up, pulled Sakura's arms from around his neck, took her hand, and put the ring on her finger. He then pulled Sakura towards him and kissed her long and hard.
