Chapter Seven
AN: Am I late with this news? But I was in the bookstore the other day and saw a new manga with Li and Sakura. Something Tsubasa? I saw the first couple of pages and it reminded me of Star Wars for some reason. And the drawings really don't remind me of CLAMP. Oh well, I ended up not buying it and bought something else. Anyway R&R!!
'Where could she have gone?' Tomoyo thought as she looked through the halls. She didn't understand what just happened. Tomoyo remembered the hateful expression on Sakura's face just before she ran away. 'Sakura, what's wrong? What did I do to make you look at me with such disgust?' Nothing came to mind, nothing at all. Right before her, standing a few feet away from her, stood her worst nightmare.
"You're absolutely the last person I want to see right now." Escaped from Tomoyo's lips.
"About yesterday, I---" Eriol began.
"What about it?" Tomoyo interrupted.
"What I said to you, I meant it."
Tomoyo's lips turned into an amusing grin. "So, you love me? Is that it?" Her tone of voice was cynical and incredulous at the same time.
"Why can't you believe me?" Eriol began to walk towards her. "Let me explain!"
"No!" She yelled taking a step back. "I don't give a shit about your lame ass explanation!" From all the turmoil and the pain and the thought of Sakura hating her; Tomoyo couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't keep a stone cold expression, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"First you, you used me! Then you transfer into the same goddamn school as me! And it gets even better, you make my best friend fall for you!" Eriol stood there, his chest filled with pain as he heard her words. "Why can't you leave me alone?" Her voice sounded in a pleading manner. "Why can't you understand how much hate and loathing I have for you?! I wish... I pray to god everyday that you would somehow disappear from my life and my heart."
Eriol came up to her and wrapped his arms around her. Tomoyo tried with all her strength to get away from his embrace. But the more she tried the tighter his hug became.
"Someday," he began to whisper in her ear, "someday I'll make you trust and love me like you once did."
Tomoyo somehow escaped from his arms and slapped him hard across the face. "The next time you touch me, I promise I'll kill you."

"What are you doing here?" She heard a deep voice ask. She looked up with teary eyes and saw Li. She quickly stood up and tried her best to wipe away the tears.
"Nothing! I was just taking a stroll!" She replied.
Li chuckled to himself. "Right, you decided to take a stroll in the shady part of school." He said in disbelief as took another pull from his cigarette. (AN: The term "pull" does everybody know what that means? Well, if you dont it means to, you know, in hale on a cig.) He then blew the misty smoke into Sakura's face. Her hand waving around trying to push the toxic smoke away from her face.
"You know that stuff can kill you?"
"Really? I didn't know that!" Sakura stuck her tongue out at his sarcastic comment. She walked up the flight of stairs to where Li was and sat next to him. They sat there in silence for a while. Li smoking his cigarette and Sakura staring aimlessly at the paint chipped wall.
"Hey," Li said breaking the silence. Sakura looked over to him, mildly interested in what he had to say. "Lunch is almost over, shouldn't you go back to class now?"
"I don't see you putting out that cigarette to go back to class."
"That's because I'm not going to class." Li took another pull and blew the smoke in her face once again.
"Then, I'm not going either." Li looked over to her as she now stared aimlessly to the dusty stairs. Her once bright green eyes are now dull with no life.
"Bad day in school?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
Li took one last pull before he threw his cigarette on the ground. "That's cool, I guess." Li said as he got up off the step and dusted himself off. "I don't really want to know. I was just asking to be polite." Sakura looked up as he grinned at her. His hand extending down towards her.
"C'mon, get up!" he said. "If we're both not going to class we might as well go somewhere and have fun."
'Have fun?' she thought to herself. Coming from him "fun" could mean a variety of things. But at this point and time she didn't really care. Whatever will make her forget about yesterday would be fine. She smiled up at Li and placed her hand in his. Li pulled her up from the step.
"So where to?"
"Anywhere we want to go. We'll be fine as long as we don't get caught cutting school."
"This is so exciting! I've never cut school before!" Sakura said as they began to walk out of school campus.
"What? You've never cut before?!"
"Nope! Not at all in my seventeen years!"
"Well then!" He said with a grin. "I'm just going to have to make this day special for you! Something you'll never forget!
"PLEASE! I need to get away from reality for a day!!"
"First things first! We'll need to stop by my house!"
"Hold on!" Sakura stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. "We are NOT going to your house!"
"Relax, I'm not going to hit on you! I realize I put my tongue down your throat yesterday, but that was yesterday! I only did it 'cause I was in the mood."
"In the mood?! I am NOT something you could kiss whenever you're 'in the mood'!" Li walked back as he grabbed her wrist.
"All right, all right! I'll kiss you whenever I think you're cute." He leaned in and gave her a small kiss on her forehead. Sakura blushed the moment his lips came into contact with her skin. "But I have to warn you," he began giving her a devilish grin,"I think you're cute all the time."
Li began to pull on her arm as if he were dragging her. Sakura still blushing from his comment and the kiss. Even though it was only on her forehead it still made her heart beat heavily and made it harder for her to breathe. She's excited to spend the day with him, but also frightened to spend the day with him. Sakura didn't know what was in store for her but she knew he was right. This will be a day she'll never froget.
AN: So what do you think? If you didn't notice I kind of rushed it. Well, I rush all my stories, which is probably why they're all bad! Anyway, sorry if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes, I HATE proofreading. Any thanx to all of you who review my story!! If you have suggestions please make any! Thanks again!
