Chapter 4

Back to School, to Tell of What Happened

The next day, Sakura's dad suggested she went back to school(since she'd missed almost 4 months already, that's more then half a school year). She didn't really want to...but she knew she shouldn't miss too much work. So she got up and got ready for school, then her dad drove her, he knew she still wasn't too happy so might not have wanted to roller blade there. When she arrived, everyone was gathered in one spot...Sakura went over to check out what was happening, when she got over there, everyone stopped talking and looked at her, Tomoyo came up to her, Sakura asked what was going on, Tomoyo answered..."Well everyone heard that Syaoran was sick and, well we're all worried about him-"

"Syao's dead!" Sakura yelled and ran around the corner of the school and fell to her knees.

Everyone was very sad after Sakura just told everyone the truth, they felt sorry for her too, considering he was her best friend and Tomoyo knew exactly how she felt, she knew Sakura loved him. Everyone followed her, they also saw the ring on her marriage finger, where Syaoran had placed it, and the neclace around Sakura's neck. Tomoyo asked her, if Syaoran had given them to her. Of course Sakura couldn't lie, so she told everyone there what had happened, the ring, the neclace, and his true love. Everyone was really shocked, not really Syao's friend Eriol(also Tomoyo's crush who had a crush on Tomoyo as well). He Had known about Syaoran's love, but had no idea he'd died.

When the bell rang to go to class, the halls were quiet, the only sound you heard was the opening and closing of lockers from one end of the hall to the other. When everyone was in their classes, the day went on as a usual school day, but no noise. The teachers were wondering what was going on, so after class Sakura's teacher called her in to talk to him, because she was the quietist, she wouldn't say a word all day, only silence came from her.

"Alright Sakura what is going on, i haven't heard a peep come from you all day long, you have a ring on your marriage finger and a matching neclace, that you refuse to remove even in gym class." the teacher explained.

"...Syao..." Sakura whispered, but loud enough for him to hear.

"Syao...you mean Syaoran Li? What about him?"

"...Syao is...dead...he gave me the ring, placed it on my finger, he also gave me the neclace and placed that on my neck, he also said he...-"

"Loved you, and you loved him?"

"...Yes...how did you-"

"Before he started missing school because of his sickness, he seeked help from me on how to tell a certain someone he loved them, I figured it was you when you said Syao."

"Oh...but why did he have to die the day after saying that? He left my heart broken..."

"Sometimes it can't be helped Sakura, he obviously knew he was going to die, then had to share his feelings with the person he loved, he didn't want to go without letting you know that, he obviously didn't mean to break your heart. I understand what happened and I'm sure you'll get over it eventually, you may or may not find another you love, but you will always know that deep in your heart, you have someone who loves you. So if you do find someone I hope you remember, you have more then one love, but you are allowed to have someone else."

"You're right, thank you." Sakura got up and went to the door.

"You're welcome Sakura."

Sakura left and went back home, when she arrived she was greeted by all her friends who had come to make her feel better. Sakura thanked them all for coming and they went up to her room to talk. Chiharu asked why the teacher wanted to see her after class, Sakura told them all about that and said she felt much better now that she knew Syaoran didn't mean to break her heart, he just wanted to let her know how he felt. Naoko also asked if the ring and the necklace were real...Sakura answered with a yes.

"Wow, that must have cost him a lot of money, he must have spent his life savings on them, he must have really loved you Sakura, you are lucky to have had someone who cared about you so much." Naoko explained.

"Nikki's right you know, not many guys at 17 would buy someone a gift so expensive, he probably spent at least $400 on that." Chiharu continued.

"Thanks gals, I really appreciate all this, and Tomoyo, how about that crush of yours, you don't wanna end up with the same problem as me and Syao do you?" Sakura asked.

"Umm...well...I can't do it alone." Tomoyo explained.

"Nice excuse, you're going to confess you love him tomorrow." Naoko demanded.

"But isn't he supposed to say something first?" Tomoyo asked.

"I know, I heard he's planning on telling the person he loves, tomorrow, that's you Tomoyo." Chiharu explained.

"But how do you know...?"Tomoyo asked.

"I have my resources." Chiharu finished.

"I need to see this." Sakura explained, then had to send her friends home because it was getting late. "Goodbye everyone, see you tomorrow!"

"Bye!" Naoko, Chiharu, and Tomoyo yelled and went home.
