Chapter 6: Preparations

It was a very warm Thursday afternoon. The bell already rang, that means classes are already dismissed. Students go out, have picnics or do other stuff like sports or just hanging out in their classrooms, since they don't have classes the next day that is Friday. And for our Sakura…

"Hey Tomoyo!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly to her friend

"What? She asked as she put in books and pens in her bag.

"Wanna have sleepover in my place tonight? Since both of us are going to Sachi's party tomorrow and my house is just 3 blocks away from hers, AND! I dunno what I'm gonna wear, so umm… Could 'ya?"

"Ok. However, could we pass by my place first? I've got to go pick up some things first"

"Sure. So… Let's go!" The two left the room and directly went to Tomoyo's place.

"Please! I'm begging you! Look, I'm gonna be all alone tonight and my mom would be probably home late, maybe midnight or tomorrow early morning. So please. Can you stay and help me fix things up for tomorrow???"

"Aww… Come on Sachi. Isn't there anybody who could stay with you besides me?"

"I still don't have friends. And the only one that I've been much close to is you AND KINOMOTO…"

"Well… I guess I could."

"So your not yet sure… Come on Li! Make a final statement!"

"…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm so glad! Haha!" Sachi exclaimed as she set up decorations alongside the pool.

"I can't believe I said YES…"

"Come on. It's just ok. Right?"

"Well… For you."

For 2 whole hours, the two set up decorations and took a rest after that…

"I'm glad that were already done. I'm tired" Sachi commented as she took a seat. It was already dark and is about time for dinner.

"I'm not tired. However, I am hungry. Wanna grab something to eat outside? I'll treat you."

"Really? By the looks of you, I think you're not that type of a goody guy act." She stood up and went to the door.

"Why? You don't want me to treat you? Then you treat me, since I helped you decorate the whole house." He answered back as he too stood up.

"Umm… I don't have money. So I guess you should be really treating me then."

"Sure. So… Let's go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two finished up eating and passed by the park. Since their tummies are full, they decided to take a rest for a while.

"Hey Li?" She asked feeling kind of awkward.

"You could just call me Syaoran."

"Ok…"

"So what are you going to ask me?"

"Do you trust me now?" She asked looking strait into Syaoran's eyes.

""

"Well… When I asked 'What happened between the two of you?' You and Kinomoto, you told me you couldn't tell me cause you still doesn't trust me."

"… I think…"

"So… I guess it's a no."

"But… I guess… I could tell it to you… But make sure you won't tell this to anyone. If you do, you'll never hear from me again."  Ha stated coldly.

"Ok. I promise. So what happened between the two of you?"

"Actually…. I don't know."

"You… don't know? Are you sure? Or you just wouldn't really want to tell me?"

"I'm honest. I really do not know. All I know is that when I took a vacation here 2 years ago, Sakura was different. At first, when we were still in grade school, she was really kind and all. However, when we were about to finish grade school, I tried to avoid her. She was too much acting still like a child. She's so childish at that time, and it was like ruining my image of being known at school…"

"You mean your Popularity…"

"Yeah. I hated it. I hated her. When I left, I receive letters from her, but I didn't answer back. At that time, I know that I've hurt her and that's why 2 years ago I decided to take a vacation here to say sorry to her. But… When I was here, I can't even get near her. She's changed and that made me scared to go near her. Up to now. I still don't even know how she acts today… So, guess it's my fault.  And I just don't want to face the truth that it's my fault…"

"I see. Did the two of you have a relationship?"

"Nope. Just friends. However, for me, I wanted it to be more than that, 2 years ago."

"I see…"

"What made you want to know in the first place???"

"Nothing. Just Curious. Why won't you smile? I never saw you smile?"

"You're so unlucky. You never saw me smile. I just smile when I'm with Sakura"

"So I guess she's lucky."

""

"Sorry…"

"I don't care. Anyway, should we go back?" Syaoran asked as he stood up offering a hand to Sachi, with a smile.

"I guess so…"She answered kind of in secured but a little glad when she saw Syaoran smiled.
