Recap of last chapter:
Sakura looked at her watch. "Oh no! It's this late? My dad's going to worry. I'm so sorry; can you give me a ride home?" She pleaded.
"Sure." And they went into Syaoran's hot car.
The rest of the way home was silent. When they reached Sakura's house, Syaoran walked her to the door. He looked at Sakura and said, "Thanks for tonight. I hope you would remember everything soon."
She turned around, "I should say thank you." And she kissed him on the cheek.
They both blushed. "Good night." And she ran home.
Love and Again
Chapter Three: School
That night Sakura lay on her bed eyes wide open. She couldn't fall asleep. On her mind was the one and only Syaoran Li. She was starting to be unsure of her feelings. What is this feeling she's getting?
She rolled around on her bed, tossing and turning. Soon she fell asleep. And she had a dream. Or was it?
The sun was setting and the sky was pink, blue and yet a little purple. No one was on the beach and all was heard were the ocean waves and the seagulls patrolling the sky. A couple sat on the beach, arms linked and they did not care for anything else. Except for each other.
"If only things could be forever, then I wish we could stay here forever." The girl said.
The guy looked down at her and smiled, "What matters is not if the time would stop or not, it's if you are right here with me watching every sunrise and sunset."
"Then we'll promise each other we would be together forever to watch every sunrise and sunset when we have the time to."
The girl smiled and held out her pinky. "What for?"
"Pinky promise."
The guy laughed, "Pinky promise." And they linked pinkies.
The girl suddenly frowned and dropped down her hand, "What if..."
The guy's smile faded and looked worried, "What's wrong?"
The girl looked up at the guy, "What if one day... we get separated?"
The guy smiled again. "I won't let that ever to happen."
The girl's suddenly cheerful again, "I just worry too much."
The guy hugged her, "I love you forever, Sakura."
RiNGGG!
Sakura groaned. She was having a beautiful dream and the alarm clock had to ring. She pressed the button and the ringing stopped. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She stretched as she yawned.
Morning already? What was that dream about?
She shook her head and noticed the time. I'm going to be late if I don't hurry.
Then she realized. Late. I have school today!
She had promised everyone she would stay here in Japan to continue her study here. She quickly changed into her new high school uniform.
Then she hurried down the stairs and yelled, "Good morning!"
"For once the monster's not late." Touya said drinking his tea.
And with that, Sakura stomped on his foot. He screamed in pain. That's for calling me monster ever since I came back. HMPH.
"Good morning, Sakura" Fujitaka said putting down a plate of toast in front of her. "You are going to be late if you don't finish your breakfast faster. And I'm not going to be home tonight for dinner. So help yourselves."
Sakura smiled and looked at her mother's picture. It was changed again. "Good morning mother."
Touya smiled. I guess she still remembers to greet mother good morning just like the old times.
Sakura looked at the clock on the wall; she shrieked and quickly ate her toast and left for school.
After all today is first day of school, she didn't want to be late.
...
"Sakura's going to join us back at school today, aren't you happy?" Tomoyo asked Syaoran.
He answered without any sign of emotions, "I guess."
"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy she's returning to school? I mean you were wishing for this day for a long time already." Tomoyo smiled.
He put his head down, "Yeah."
Tomoyo sighed and went to talk with her other friends about Sakura.
RiNGGG. Time for homeroom.
Everyone went to take their seats and waited quietly as their homeroom teacher came in.
"Good morning class. There's some news for today. You are going to have two new exchange students here from England. One you know very well, she came back to join us. Please welcome Kinomoto Sakura and Hiiragizawa Eriol."
Sakura and Eriol came in through the front door and stepped in front of the room. They both bowed. Sakura saw Tomoyo somewhere near the end of the room waving at her. Sakura just smiled.
People in the class were starting to whisper and soon it became a little louder. You could hear some saying "Wow, they're cute", "Do they even know Japanese" and many other weird questions.
The teacher clapped his hands for attention. "Class, please make them feel welcome. Don't give them a hard time. Respect them like your other classmates. Now we need to find you a seat."
"Kinomoto Sakura you could sit in front of Li Syaoran. And as for Hiiragizawa Eriol there's a sit behind Daidouji Tomoyo. Dismissed."
Tomoyo smiled, "I remember in elementary school Sakura you sat there too."
"Really? I don't remember." She said quietly.
"Hmm... Let me see your schedule if we have any classes together."
Sakura took out a piece of paper from her backpack.
"Aw... we don't have any classes together behind lunch. First period you have a class with Syaoran so you could just follow him." She handed the paper back to her.
"We better go to first period class before we get into trouble." Syaoran scowled as he shot up from his seat.
What's wrong with him? Tomoyo thought as they walked separately to their classrooms.
"Syaoran!" Sakura shouted as she went pass the students in the hallway.
Syaoran was waiting for her outside the classroom. "This is your math class and there aren't any assigned seats so you could sit anywhere."
"Thank you for waiting for me" Sakura smiled.
Syaoran shrugged. "Whatever." Inside he was blushing. (AM: And how exactly can you do that? o.O)
...
Soon it was lunchtime.
"I just noticed school everywhere is almost the same, just a slight different here than in England." Eriol said lying back staring at the sky.
Lunchtime is like free time. They could be anywhere they want to be, and under the cherry blossom tree on the grass field was their usual spot. The wind was blowing lightly; you could smell the grassy scent and the cool yet warm air.
"I don't find any difference, just that they speak Japanese here. Even the math is the same, still very hard to understand." Sakura mumbled.
Syaoran sort of smirk, "You still not good in math, are you?"
"I guess not," Sakura laughed sheepishly.
Tomoyo sighed, "This is so much like the old times, when we all sit here and just chat away our lunch period."
Sakura smiled, "We could still do that. In fact we could do that every day."
Tomoyo smiled back.
"There is something I don't understand. I got amnesia, right? But how come I didn't forget my Japanese as a matter of fact, I'm pretty mastering it. I mean, I've been in England for 2 years speaking English with many people and I've never spoke Japanese until I came to Japan, and somehow I speak it fluently." Sakura wondered.
"Maybe it's something else you didn't forget, which is a relief or I won't be able to communicate with you." Tomoyo said.
They laughed.
"Next we all have Home Economics, I think that's the only class we all four are in. I think the new H.E. teacher wants to pair us all up. I hope I could be with you, Sakura." Tomoyo said.
"Okay." Sakura smiled.
"Hurry up and finish your lunches, it's almost time for class." Syaoran hurried.
...
"Today we will pick partners for the rest of the year. I'm going to do this randomly and there would be no exchanging partners. These partners are going to be with you for every project. If you don't get along with them, then learn to do so." The teacher said as she took out a box from the closet.
"I already put all your names in there. Let's see whose first," She reached in the box and grabbed a slip of paper, "Ah ha! Miharu Chiharu and..." she pulled out another name, "Yamazaki Takashi!"
Sakura looked over at Chiharu. She hadn't known her long because she just came back to Japan, but she did know Takashi is Chiharu's boyfriend. Sakura smiled she must be happy she's with someone she likes. Tomoyo must be disappointed that partners are going to be picked randomly.
Sakura wondered who her partner is because she didn't really know many people yet and was afraid what if the person she's paired with couldn't get along with her. She hopefully thought that would never happen.
The teacher continued to call out names and pairs of people got up and went to their assigned table. Sakura didn't even pay attention when the teacher called her name.
"Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran, that'll be the last pair. Who doesn't have a partner come up and ask me and I'll fit you into a group." The teacher asked.
Sakura snapped back to reality. She looked at Tomoyo, "Who's my partner again?"
She smiled. "Syaoran."
Sakura stared at her. Syaoran? Oh my god, I have to be his partner for the whole year.
She walked over to Syaoran and their assigned table, "Hey..."
He didn't look at her and muttered, "Hi..."
The teacher soon passed out the ingredients and instructions. To test their abilities in making sweets, their first task is to make simple chocolate chip cookies.
Because of what happened last night, Sakura and Syaoran still couldn't speak freely with each other, they worked in silence. The most they said was "You mix the ingredients" or "Pass the flour".
Sakura looked at Tomoyo and she noticed she was communicating well with her best friend. They seemed to be friends who haven't seen each other for a while.
Tomoyo was batting the eggs and looked at Eriol. "You like Sakura?"
Eriol almost dropped the cup of flour and stared at Tomoyo, "Why you ask?"
Tomoyo shrugged, "Well, do you?"
"Uh...yes... no... maybe... why?"
Tomoyo giggled. "I'll take that as a yes."
"It's pretty obvious. When you heard Sakura was staying here in Japan you didn't even think about it and decided to stay too. And plus you weren't pretty happy when we were assigned partners."
Eriol laughed sheepishly. "You noticed. Sorry about that."
"It's okay. And you were pretty worried when I said Syaoran was Sakura's boyfriend. You looked like you wanted to bite his head off, literally. And you always look at Sakura."
"Wow, do I really?"
Tomoyo nodded. "Speaking of Syaoran, Sakura told you about him?"
Eriol shook his head. "I didn't really talk with her much ever since we came here."
"Oh."
There was a moment of silence.
Eriol gave a small smile. "Can you tell me instead?"
Tomoyo raised a brow. "Are you sure?"
"I guess I'll find out one day anyways."
Tomoyo shrugged. "Alrights then. Well, it all started when we were all in fourth grade. Sakura and Syaoran used to hate each other. But as time passed they got along and fell in love. Before Sakura left Japan, Syaoran's mother came to Japan. He's supposed to marry his cousin but he got the choice of picking his wife before 19. She came and saw Sakura. I don't know why but she didn't like her. They talked and she convinced Sakura that Syaoran would be better for his family if he married someone important. Syaoran's an important figure in Hong Kong himself. And she told Sakura to leave Syaoran or she'll take him home. Of course Sakura thought Syaoran's life was already adjusted to Japan and it would be better for him if he lived here so she decided to leave." She put the chocolate chip cookie dough in the oven. "And she met you."
Eriol just stood there staring at Tomoyo blankly.
Tomoyo tilted her head and looked Eriol. "So are you going to give up?"
Eriol stood up straight. "No, I'm not going to lose to Syaoran. Sakura still has a choice to pick."
Tomoyo smiled. "That's the spirit."
