Chapter 6
Let's Go to the Amusement Park! (Part 1)
Ding-Dong
Sakura poked her head out of the dining room. It was early Friday morning, two weeks after that night in the movies, and everything had been going well since. Sure, Tomoyo and Eriol had kept on teasing them about it a few times but nothing much has happened. She was just about to leave for school when the doorbell rang.
'Oh. Syaoran's here!' Sakura swiftly got her bag and put on her shoes and put on her uniform winter coat.
She opened the door and saw Syaoran leaning against the door frame, wearing the boys' winter uniform underneath the uniform winter coat that reached his ankles. "Ohayo gozaimasu!" Sakura greeted him and offered a cheery smile. Syaoran nodded his head in acknowledgement and greeted her back with a small smile of his own.
Behind Syaoran, snow descended from the heavens, as it was now December. A sheet of pure white snow covered almost everything in sight.
"Let's get going." Syaoran said before turning his back and started walking. Sakura just followed their routine; Syaoran walking 8 steps in front of Sakura. No one talked; they just watched the snow fall silently.
They neared Tomoeda High School. (AN/ Tomoeda is the name, right? If it's not, please correct me. I don't remember typing it down… Gomen…) Tomoyo and Eriol were standing in the entrance of the building, chatting to each other as they waited for Sakura and Syaoran.
"Sakura-chan! Syaoran-kun! Ohayo!" Tomoyo called out. The two walked towards them and greeted, "Ohayo." They started talking to each other as they walked in the school halls. Unknown to them, they were being watched closely.
Bring!
'Finally! Lunch!' Sakura thought as she stretched her arms across her desk.
Growl…
A sweat drop appeared on Sakura's forehead. 'Hungry… So very hungry…' She stood up and got her lunch. "C'mon Sakura! Let's go!" Rika said as she exited the classroom. "Hey! Wait for me!" Sakura called and went out of the classroom and went towards her waiting friends.
Rika, Eriol, Tomoyo, Takeshi, Naoko, Chiharu, Syaoran and Sakura were walking to the school cafeteria. (AN/ I know that I have never mentioned them eating with the four, but let's just say that they have. But they DO NOT know about the engagement. Sorry for the confusion. (--') )
"Let's eat now. I'm sooo hungry…" Sakura groaned in annoyance as her stomach seemed to echo her call.
'Glutton…' Syaoran thought as he shrugged his shoulders.
Sakura glared at him, as if she knew what he was thinking. Well, they have been together for a while AND they were forced to be together 24/7! Okay… That was an exaggeration, but you get the point.
They all sat down at a table next to the window and began to eat their lunches. Takeshi started talking about the usual nonsense, making them all laugh. Okay… almost all of them… Syaoran only chuckled a little… (--')
"Hey, did you hear about Meilin's family?" Naoko suddenly questioned them and all of them stopped eating. All heads turned to her with questioning faces. "Her family's business is not working out to well… They had to sell their property and move to a different house to save their money. To shorten this up, they're loosing a lot of money."
"No way!" Chiharu said in surprise. "Now she can't boast about her wealth! 3 points for us!" Rika said happily.
"But wait…" Eriol said through their cheers, making everyone of them look at him. "Won't that mean that Tomoyo is now the richest person in class?" Their eyes averted to Tomoyo who stared, wide-eyed, at her friends.
"Don't look at me like that! You guy's are creeping me out!" Tomoyo exclaimed, looking bewildered. "Soooo Awesome!" The rest of the girls said.
"Hehe, my girlfriend's super rich! I'm so lucky!" Eriol said smiling widely… until, of course, Tomoyo punched his arm, glaring at him. "So now you're happy because you're dating the richest girl around?"
"I'm just kidding you know." Eriol said as he put an arm around her shoulder. "Sure you were…" Syaoran snickered quietly. "Yeah. You know you meant it, Eriol…" Sakura mocked silently. But just as Eriol was about to glower at them, the bell rang.
"Oops, got to go!" Sakura said as she gathered her stuff and walked away quickly, just in case Eriol yells at her for her comment. "Yeah… See you in class!" Syaoran said quickly as he followed Sakura to their classroom.
Eriol, Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran strolled down the side walk after school. Eriol was arguing with Syaoran and Sakura about the incident at lunch while Tomoyo watched them and threw in a few of her opinions and arguments from time to time. Their walk hope pretty much what they were doing until Eriol remembered something.
"Hey, you guys." Eriol said and the attention of the three turned to him. "Do you want to go to the amusement park? It'd be really nice, especially since it's almost Christmas."
"I'm in!" Tomoyo and Sakura said at once. "I love the amusement park!" Sakura declared cheerfully. Syaoran smiled a little, "I guess it would be nice to go once in a while…"
"Yay! We can go!" Sakura cheered.
"You're too childish; did you know that?" Syaoran said, smirking.
"Well at least I'm not some rude statue." Sakura shot back.
Sakura and Syaoran just bickered like this all the way to the amusement park.
The 4 friends entered the park to see a wonderful sight… and tons of people.
"Sugoi! Look at the tall roller coaster!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the towering structure.
"So what? Haven't you seen it last year or something?" Syaoran asked as Sakura ran off to see the merry-go-round.
Eriol and Tomoyo looked at him with a sad smile. "Sakura hasn't gone to an amusement park since her mom died. And that was when she was 7." Tomoyo declared. Eriol continued, "She always went with her mother… so she really misses going to stuff like these…"
Syaoran looked at them, shocked at what he just heard. 'So that's why I haven't seen her mother at all.' Syaoran thought stupidly, kicking himself mentally.
"I-I'm going to find Sakura. We'll meet you guys at the restaurant later at 4:30…" Syaoran stuttered hurriedly and rushed off to find Sakura and to get away from Tomoyo and Eriol. But mostly to get away from the pair…
"Did you see that, Eriol?" Tomoyo said with a smile.
Eriol nodded, grinning at Syaoran's reaction and looked over to Tomoyo. "C'mon, let's go over to that ride."
To be continued…
