It was the last day of the exams and everybody could finally unlock their doors and have fun. Just hope Syaoran still remembers his childhood love after all those studying!
---
"Hey Sakura!" Syaoran shouted as he ran towards her
Sakura turned around and smiled. It has been a long time since she saw Syaoran and seeing him now made her feel so happy.
"Hey." Sakura replied trying to contain her happiness.
"Um.. can I ask you something?"
"Sure. Shoot."
"Well.. I was wondering if you remembered something that happened long ago... when.."
"SYAORAN!!" A girl shouted as she sprinted towards Syaoran and jumped on him. "Miss me?"
"SAORI! What are you doing here!!?" Syaoran gasped.
"My father moved his business here and so, here I am!" then she leaned down and kissed him on the cheek.
Syaoran was too shock to say anything. Sakura took a step back and felt a wave of sadness crashing down upon her.
"Who is she Syaoran?" Saori asked pointing towards Sakura. Syaoran jerked up.
"Huh.. oh. She is Salura and sakura, this is my ex- girlfriend Saori."
"h-hi.." Sakura managed to reply.
"Come on Syaoran! Lets go out! Its been a long time since I went out with you and I bet you have a lot to tell me! I know I have! Lets go!" Saori said and dragged an unwilling Syaoran away leaving a tearing Sakura in the hallway.

Eriol stood outside the fashion designing lecture hall and smiled. He recalled how he had walked into the wrong lecture hall and met Tomoyo. It was destiny.
"Eriol! What are you doing here?" Tomoyo asked as she exited from the lecture hall.
Tomoyo swore she had seen Eriol jumped a feet high.
What was she doing here!? I thought there wasn't any lectures today!!
Eriol kept his cool.
"I was just passing by."
Tomoyo looked at Eriol not believing even one word. But she did not say it though.
"Eriol, we have a problem."
Eriol looked at Tomoyo confused. What was she talking about?
"My friend told me she saw Syaoran being dragged out of school by a girl."
Eriol snorted and put his hands to his hips.
"Pssh.. That must be Sakura then! Whats there to be worried about?! Unless..." Eriol said and looked suspiciously at Tomoyo and pointed a finger at her.
"YOU LIKE SYAORAN!!!"
Tomoyo rolled her eyes.
You idiot! I like YOU!
"No.. I do not like Syaoran. And that girl was not Sakura. It was his ex- girlfriend Saori. She was just enrolled in this school because her father moved his business here. Her father is supposed to be a tycoon of some sort."
"Never underestimate the power of girl gossip." Eriol said nodding his head and feeling relieved that Tomoyo was not in love with Syaoran.
Tomoyo folded her arms and stared at Eriol.
"So you know what to do?"
"Of cause! I'm not letting any girl other than Sakura date my cute little descendent! Leave it to me!" He shouted.
"Actually... I was thinking... of helping you... you know.. leave it to US.."
"Oh.. okay.. Whatever." ( Eriol is such a stupid guy!)
--- The next day...
"Syaoran darling!" Soari shouted from across the class room.
"Lets go to my house after school today! I want to show you something.." Saori said and winked at Syaoran.
A sweat drop appeared on his head. He was desperate.
"Ohh.. I'm sorry Saori. Syaoran promised to go skateboarding with me today. Sorry.." Eriol said trying to make a pitiful face.
"I did?" Syaoran said confused. After realising that could save him from Saori, "Oh yes. I did. Sorry Saori. I Guess I just can't make it today."
Saori stared at Eriol who stared back her then left angrily.
"Phew.. thanks Eriol. Luckily you made up that whole skate boarding thing or else I would have to get stuck with her the whole day again." Syaoran said.
"I did not made that up. You are going skate boarding with me. Meet me at Park mall carpark. "
Eriol said and left smiling evilly.
---After school...
"Sakura!"
"Hi Tomoyo.." Sakura replied. Why does she feel so down?
"You looked kinda stress. Are you okay?"
"To tell you the truth, no. I have been feeling like this since yesterday."
"There's nothing like a little shopping to brighten up your day! What do you say? Park mall plaza?"
"Well... okay. Anything that will make me feel better."
"Great! Meet me at the carpark, Bye!"
Sakura... Sakura get ready for the time of your life...---
Sigh... I knew Tomoyo was going to be late.. Brr.. its cold and deserted here.. don't be afraid Sakura...Sakura was having second thoughts of going shopping with Tomoyo as she stood in the middle of the deserted carpark.
"Hey Eriol... Gah!" Tomoyo gasped as Eriol turned around.
"Why are you dressed in black and what's with that handkerchief around your face?!"
"Tomoyo, have you forgotten our plan? We are posing as thieves! Of cause we have to wear like one! Now go change before Syaoran arrives!"
Tomoyo took the clothes from his hands and went to change. When she got back, She looked a little pale.
"I'm not sure about this... I'm getting a little nervous.."
"Don't worry... I'll be there. I'm a very good actor!" Eriol boasted.
They both hid behind a pillar and spyed Sakura.
"Now!!" Eriol shouted and both of them took out their toy knives and charged at Sakura.
Sakura tried to run but Eriol put his knife around her neck and covered her mouth with his hands so she could not scream.
Tomoyo instructed Sakura to give all her money to her. Not very successfully though..
"Um.... Can you please give me all your money? I would really appreciate it."
Eriol smacked his face. Sakura looked amused.
"Um...what she wanted to say was... GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY!!"
This time, Eriol scared Sakura and so she surrendered all her money to them. Then, Syaoran appeared with his skateboard.
Nice timing...Eriol thought. Seeing Sakura held at knife point by some idiots wearing Mickey Mouse handkerchief around their faces, Syaoran naturally ran to the rescue.
Yes.. everything is going as planned...But as Syaoran got closer, he slipped on a puddle of water and fell.
Pathetic.. I do not know him..."Here.. let me help you. Are you alright?" Tomoyo asked Syaoran as she helped him up. This time Eriol was exasperated. He knocked his head against the pillar a few times then walked over to Syaoran.
"Um.. what she wanted to do was this!"
Eriol said as he pushed Syaoran to the floor again.
Eriol then grabbed Tomoyo's hands and started running away. They threw the money back to Sakura who was feeling kind of confused. Syaoran wanted to run after them but Sakura stopped him.
"Its okay... they have returned my money."
Syaoran rushed to her.
"Are you alright? Did those bastards hurt you?"
"No.... I'm fine.. thank you for saving me. Why are you here anyway?"
"Oh. Eriol was suppose to meet me here."
"What a coincidence! Tomoyo was suppose to meet me here too!"
They both looked at each other and thought of the possibility.
"Nah."
"Nah."
They both chorused.
"So... have you eaten?" Syaoran asked Sakura after a moment of awkward silence.
"Nope." Sakura answered hopefully.
"Wanna have lunch together?"
"Okay." She replied immediately.
---
"Phew that was close. What were you thinking helping Syaoran up?!" Eriol shouted at Tomoyo.
"I'm sorry.. I guess I was just too nervous and mess up everything.. I really did not know how to act like a thief! I'm not even one!" Tomoyo replied swallowing her tears.
Eriol saw her tears and calmed down.
"Forget it. Our plan worked anyway. Let me walk you home."
They started to walk out of the carpark and that was when Tomoyo realised Eriol was still holding her hands. She was not going to tell him though.
Eriol was not an idiot , he knew he was still holding Tomoyo's hands. He was pretending not to know and enjoying himself.
Tomoyo realised how protected she felt with Eriol's large hands holding hers. She had not loved the wrong man... but when will Eriol ever find out...
