My Only Wish

DISCLAIMER: I don't own CCS or its characters etc.

Thanks for the very sweet reviews. I decided to update a.s.a.p 'cause of you guys.

last chapter:

"BRRINGG!!" It was time to go home. School is finally over. Sakura ran to her locker, hoping to be there before a huge crowd gathered. She grabbed her coat, stuffed her books into her bag and quickly walked away.

She was walking fast, not wanting to spend another second in this school. But as she zipped up her coat, she saw him. She couldn't help but smile. Even though she told herself she was mad at him. When they were only a few feet away, he moved closer. She wasn't certain what he was going to do. But then she felt hands around her waist. He was hugging her.

Chapter 2 - Michael

She cautiously put her arms around him. After awhile she figured that was pretty long and there were people staring so she tried to push him away, but he only held on tighter. He hugged her so tight that she felt like she was being crushed. She knew this had to end.

"Syaoran.. I, I can't breathe."

Seconds later, he reluctantly let her go. He looked into her emerald eyes before walking away.

"Bye Syaoran.." she whispered.

Sakura had this feeling, that.. She didn't want that moment to end. But as soon as it popped into her head, she shook it away. She then remembered the time; her brother was waiting for her outside. She ran as fast as she could, she didn't want her brother to be mad at her; she hated waiting, so she wouldn't want anyone to be waiting so long for her, especially her mean old brother.

That night as she tried to get to sleep, she couldn't stop thinking about him, Syaoran. She kept remembering his touch; when he put his hand over hers, when he took her hand in his to look at her bracelet. But what was on her mind the most, was the way he hugged her. It didn't seem like an ordinary friendship hug. It seemed.. more. Wait… She was just thinking too much. He has a girlfriend, she kept reminding herself. He wouldn't like me. We're just buddies. That's why he hugged me. He hugged me so tight was because we're GOOD buddies. Nothing else.. This made everything less complicated for her. Maybe now she would get some sleep since she knew, well thought why he did it and everything. And she did sleep with a smile on her face.

She ran down the stairs getting her coat and bag and headed straight for the door.

"Oh my gosh, I'm going to be late!" she yelled.

She had reached the school right when the bell rang. She ran even faster, maybe if she wasn't very late, her teacher would let it go. As she was about to turn the corner, she bumped right into someone. She fell to the ground, her books and notes flying everywhere.

She was so mad, who was this person who made her fall and made her even later than she was? She looked up to see a boy with short black hair, his face made him seem very young, but she knew he was her age. He was wearing a plain red t-shirt and baggy jeans. He looked down at her and offered her his hand. She took it of course, it was his fault that she was on the ground in the first place.

"What were you doing?! Watch where you're going! Geez.." she couldn't stop herself from yelling.

"Sorry. I was in a rush." he said. He looked like he felt really guilty.

"Umm.. It's okay. I mean I'm sorry. I was rushing too." she smiled at him. Well.. It was her fault too.

She then bent down to pick up her stuff. She thought she got everything until she saw one of her sheets by the stairs. She placed a hand on it, but at the same moment a hand went on hers. She looked to see whose hand it was and it was him. It was the guy she bumped into. So he didn't leave yet. She finally realized what was happening so she quickly let go of the paper.

"Umm.. " she blushed, she couldn't help it for some reason.

"Sorry! I just wanted to get it for you." he seemed embarrassed for his cheeks were red.

He pushed a couple of sheets toward her, the ones he picked up on the floor. He then ran off, feeling extremely awkward.

Hrmm.. He's very cute. She thought to herself as she walked up the stairs to her classroom.

"Michael! Where are your books? And you're late!" the teacher yelled.

"Ohh! I forgot it! I'm sorry that I'm late." he looked down at the floor. "I'll go get it now."

He rushed back to the corridor where he bumped into that girl. There it was, his backpack. And right beside it was a pink binder. He picked it up, and all of a sudden he remembered the moment when he touched her hand trying to get the paper for her. He smiled. He looked at the binder. It must be hers. I wish I had asked for her name. Wait.. It says.. 'Sakura'. Then he remembered someone who he forgot long ago.

FLASHBACK:

"Who do you like Mikey?" said a little redhead boy.

"Me? I like.. Sakura."

"Really?"

Mikey looked at Sakura. She seemed to have heard them, 'cause she was blushing. As soon as he caught her beautiful emerald green eyes, she looked away.

"Yeah.. I do." Mikey replied. "And I always will.." he whispered, so no one could hear him.

Michael was so happy, he felt like jumping! He knew nothing could ruin today. He had found Sakura.. He grabbed his bag and gently put the binder that belonged to Sakura into his bag and ran to class with a huge smile on his face.

Sakura rustled through her backpack, looking desperately for her pink binder.

"Oh my gosh, where did I put it?"

"Sakura, what's wrong? Please hand me your story now." the teacher said.

"Umm.. I can't seem to find it." Sakura answered.

"What?!?! Don't tell me you didn't do it! This is 15 of your grade." the teacher was incredibly mad.

"I did do it! I swear!"

"Well, whatever. I'll give you a chance. Hand it in to me at the end of the day or you will get a zero. Understood?"

"Yes. Thanks so much Ms. Quanz!" Sakura gave her a really grateful smile.

"Yes.. No problem." Ms. Quanz couldn't stay mad at this girl, who seemed so innocent; incapable of lying.

It was lunchtime, everyone was very happy that they could finally have a break from their boring classes. Everyone was happy that is, except for Sakura. She didn't know where her story was, and she didn't have enough time to write it out again. She walked through the hallways looking at the floor, maybe she had dropped it somewhere. Then she suddenly remembered. I dropped my bag when I bumped into that guy, maybe my book is there. She walked quickly, since there was no running allowed in the hallways until she saw Syaoran. Syaoran seemed very sad, he seemed to be looking at his shoes. She quickly rushed over to see what's wrong. Her story could wait.

"Syaoran, what's wrong?"

He raised his head and stared at her. There seem to be tears coming out of his auburn eyes. He brushed them away. And he took her hand and pulled her to the nearest exit. They sat on the curb. He didn't say anything for along time, but then she heard a sound. He was crying. She felt like crying too, she couldn't bear it to see him like this. But she held it. He needed her to be strong right now. He then turned to look at her.

"Sakura.. She, she.. "

"It's okay.."

"She dumped me." Syaoran went back to staring at his shoes.

"Huh? Don't lie! She loves you!"

"I'm not.. It happened yesterday."

"Do you.. Do you still like her?"

"I don't know.."

There was a long pause. Sakura felt very sad. Why would anyone dump Syaoran? Syaoran was an amazing person.

"I do.."

"You do what?" she asked.

"I still like her."

By pure instinct, she grabbed him and hugged him gently, stroking his hair.

Michael ran to the door, someone had told him Sakura had went outside. As he was about to open the door he looked through the glass. He saw her hugging some other guy. He immediately dropped the pink binder. His heart felt like it had broke into millions of pieces. So he was wrong; something could ruin today, and it did.

A/N: I hoped you liked reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. R R k?
