Chapter Seven Meilin's Tears

Meilin walked towards her class as if in a dream. When she got there, Tomoyo looked at her with the same worried looks she has worn for three weeks now.
"Ohayou," she put on a falsely cheerful face.
"Ohayou," Meilin responded wearily. She slumped in her chair and stared into space.
Tomoyo sighed and took her usual seat beside the sad Meilin, She looked at her seemingly lifeless friend. "So, aren't you gonna tell me?"
Meilin sighed wearily in response. Then she turned to face Tomoyo. "It's been three weeks."
"I've noticed."
Meilin sighed again. "Syaoran-kun's been seeing another girl."
"N-nani?" Tomoyo acted surprised, but she wasn't really.
"Hai. A pretty girl with green eyes," her tone was dead, "do you know her?"
"Uuh..." Tomoyo stalled for time, "not really."
Meilin sighed.
"Okay everyone, settle down." It was Terada-sensei.
As everybody settled down, Tomoyo noticed that there was a tear running down Mailin's cheek.

"It's quite serious, Kyoichi-kun. I've never seen Meilin-chan look so sad," Tomoyo said at lunch.
Kyoichi's eyes flared and he banged his fist on the table. "That gaki! I swear I'm gonna punch his Chinese face!"
Tomoyo was alarmed. "D-demo, Kyoichi! He is your bestfriend, after all!!"
"Not anymore, if he keeps hurting Meilin."
"You don't have to resort to violence, Kyoichi-kun. I'm going to talk to him next week."
"Why next week?"
"He needs time to sort out his feelings for Kinomoto and Meilin."
Kyoichi hesitated. "Okay, but if he doesn't fix this, I'm gonna fix his face for him!"
