"Meilin, stop it. You're going to make a scene." He glanced around the schoolyard but nobody was near enough to hear their hushed argument. A few cheerleaders were having a loud, playful conversation, and he could see the Kinomoto siblings by the fountain. They were having a peaceful lunch with their friend Tsukishiro.
"I knew something was up when you bought that bracelet and tried to hide it from me. We're supposed to get married in just two more years, Syaoran. But I saw you kissing her. At least tell me who she is so I can hate her properly." Her eyes were wet and she was trembling. Then, when he didn't answer, she asked "Do you like her better than me?"
He sighed. "I like you both in different ways."
The tears were falling now. "I need to go call my mom." She left him alone on the small wall, miserable and friendless.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. Only a pair of green eyes noticed him wipe a tear away.
