Last time...

"Bye Sakura and Little Wolf!" Kuro snickered. You could see Syaoran drop head over heels(anime style) and sweatdrop.

"I'M NOT LITTLE!" Syaoran fumed as he ran back to Kuro.

"But that is what your Chinese name means." Kuro smirked. Sakura watched as the two fought. Not seriously, but playfully.

"Okay enough chit chat. Seriously, we have to go to class before the annoying bell rings." Sakura said tapping Syaoran's back.

"Ah alright." Syaoran replied. They all waved good bye and went to their classes.

A/N: Hum dee dum dum...school is sooo boring...and I just started grade eight! All my classes are half an hour longer than it usually is! That sucks sooo bad...anyways...as one of my reviewers said...my stories are getting shorter...yeah I know...not a good thing...but I can't help it sometimes...some chapters are short, some are okay...well...just bear with me...

Chapter Twelve: Bad Days Turned Normal

By: Ame-chan

That day of school was better than most. Kuro had made friends with Syaoran...even though they still fight...but not seriously fighting. She smiled more often, she was more playful and cheerful. She even noticed that nobody really bullied her anymore. Just some stares and glares, but that didn't bother her. As long as Syaoran was back at her side.

So that day went by pretty fast, knowing her good mood. When it was lunch time, everybody(as in Sakura, Syaoran, Kuro, Tomoyo, and Eriol) sat under a Sakura tree and took out their lunches. Tomoyo grinned.

"I made some chocolate cake for us to share. I have to say Sakura-chan, you seem to be in a better mood than ever!" Tomoyo squealed. Everybody sweatdropped.

"Yeah I know. It's because everything's working out fine now. I;m happy!" Sakura replied, smiling. When Tomoyo took the chocolate cake out of her bag and set it in the middle, (they're sitting in a circle) Kuro and Syaoran were the first to try and grab the bigger piece.

"Hey! That's MINE!" Syaoran glared. Kuro pushed him a little.

"Oh yeah? Little wolves are suppose to eat little. Not big!" Kuro fought back.

"But I need to eat big to grow big and strong...besides...I'M NOT LITTLE!" Syaoran fumed.

"If you're not little, then you don't need such a big piece of cake so it's mine!" Kuro pushed him again. Everybody looked at them with dot eyes with sweatdrops hanging over their heads.

Sakura decided to break the fight.

"Okay guys. How about you play rock paper scissors. Whoever wins get the bigger piece." Sakura said, taking the chocolate away from them. She put it on her lap.

"Okay fine." Syaoran pouted.

"Sure." Kuro answered. They did. And every time...they got the same thing. Little did they know that Sakura had eaten the piece of cake while they were concentrating on winning the game.

Finally! Kuro won.

"Yeah! I won over the Little Wolf!" Kuro threw his hand in the air in victory. Syaoran sighed.

"Okay. Now to eat some cake." Kuro looked around, then at Sakura, who looked at him and smiled nervously.

"Sakura, where's that cake we gave you?" Kuro asked, still looking at her. Now he was looking at her with suspicion.

"Ah...er...well...you see..." Sakura started to sweatdrop more. "While you were playing that game...I sort of..er...kind of..ah...accidentally ate it." Sakura smiled nervously. Syaoran and Kuro looked at her.

"Sakura, I think you should run." Eriol suggested as the boys started to fume.

"Yeah...I'll go do that..." Sakura replied as she stood up. She walked walked away and started to run.

"Sakura! Get back here!" Kuro and Syaoran both said in unison. They chased her around the school 3 times before they neede to stop and actually breathe.

When Sakura caught her breath, She tipped toe behind a tree, assuming that Kuro and Syaoran was still catching their breath. But, while she was looking out from behind her tree, something poked her side.

She tried to wave it away. After a few seconds, it did it again. She was annoyed and turned around...to find Syaoran standing behind her with a smirk on his face. Sakura was startled and screamed.

Syaoran had to cover his ears. Sakura stood there, looking at him with surprise. Syaoran laughed. Kuro came by to see what happened, so did Tomoyo and Eriol.

"Don't scare me like that!" Sakura burst out. Syaoran stopped laughing.

"Sorry, but it was funny." Syaoran chuckled a bit. Kuro did too. Sakura pouted. Tomoyo smiled.

"Come on. We have to finish our lunch and go back to school." Tomoyo replied as she headed back to there spot under the tree. The others followed.

So everybody had their share of the cake, finished their luch, and chatted for a bit. The bell rung and they packed their stuff.

"Ha! I have home cooking ed today with Sakura." Syaoran started again. But this time, Kuro didn't fight back. He just smiled.

"Well, too bad. I have home cooking ed too with Sakura. And I call sitting next to Sakura!" Kuro howled. Syaoran started to turn red.

"I get to sit with Sakura!" Syaoran pointing at himself. Kuro chuckled.

"Not if I can help it." Kuro smirked. They got to class early and where ever Sakura sat, they always tried to sit on the seat beside her. But they always ended up pushing and shoving each other, trying to get the other person off the chair. Sakura sweatdropped.

She smiled at them, thinking about the end of school. Shcool was going to be out tomorrow for summer vacation. All the other students plan on going home to visit their parents. All except for Sakura. She didn't have her family anymore. She felt a tinge of pain in her again. The pain of not having any loved ones to visit and spend time with.

Her thoughts were interrupted as more students walked in. Some of the girls glared at her. She ignored them and looked at Syaoran. Kuro seemed to have left and started to chat with his other friends.

Syaoran looked at her and smiled. She was so pretty. How he have mistaken Selena as a good person? Sakura was more honest and cheerful than she was. Sakura was more playful. Selena just talked about junk.

He noticed that she wasn't bullied anymore. She was so much happier. And it made him happy. So he decided to strike up a conversation.

"So, school is almost over. What are you planning to do this summer? Meet some old family members? Go somewhere on a vacation?" Syaoran asked. Sakura lowered her head and she wasn't smiling anymore.

"I can't go anywhere. My family is dead. I don't have any money, just enough to go to school." Sakura answered sadly and quietly, as a tear started to fall from her eyes.

Syaoran gave her a sad look. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug. She sniffed and wiped her tears away.

"I'm sorry Sakura. I forgot that your family is gone. I'm planning on going to Honk Kong and meet my mother again. And I'm sure she'd love to meet you." Syaoran whispered softly. Sakura nodded and sniffed again.

"But Syaoran, you've done so much for me already. It would be too much for you to pay for my addmissions." Sakura said softly, looking down.

"Come on! I'm the prince of China here. I can do whatever I want!" Syaoran smiled. Sakura smiled too.

"Thanks Syaoran, for everything." She answered still smiling.

"No problem." Syaoran replied. It made him happy to her smile again.

(A/N: Hmm...Should I leave it at that? Nah...I think you guys deserve more...)

The Teacher came in and everybody sat down at a table. The teacher took the attendance and started the lesson.

"Good afternoon class. Today, we'll be making chocolate cake." Seiko sensei said smiling warmly. She was a really nice teacher.

"This will be your last class so please do your best. Since your report cards were given already, there won't be any marks for this. Just for fun." She continued.

Sakura was very excited. She loved chocolate. She was planning on what her cake would look like already.

"Alright class. You know how to make them. You may go ahead and start." Seiko sensei replied.

Sakura got up and started her cooking. She worked really hard. She wanted to make it big enough to share with all her friends. She smiled as she worked. She had good, friendly friends.

Sakura turned around and Kuro and Syaoran asked if they could work beside her. She nodded and smiled.

After she added the eggs and what not, she looked to her left where Syaoran was and watched him make his cake. He was rereading his recipe to see if he added the right ingredients. Then she looked to her right where Kuro was working. He was stirring his ingredients together already.

Sakura continued with hers. By the others had put their cakes in the oven and washed the bowls and stuff, they could smell their cakes. It was really good.

When it was time to decorate, Sakura used pink icing and made a border. In the middle she wrote in blue icing "Forever Friends" with purple hearts around it. When she finished, she placed it on the table that she was sitting at and got ready to go back to her room. It was last class.

After school, Sakura carried her cake back to her room and set it down on the kitchen counter. She had already invited everybody to come to her room and eat some cake and chat. She cut the cake into squares and Tomoyo came back.

"Mmmm! Sakura-chan, what's that delicious smell?" Tomoyo walked in the kitchen inhaling the sweet chocolaty scent.

"I made some cake at home cooking ed today. We can eat it when everybody comes." Sakura smiled.

There was a knock on the door. Tomoyo went to go open it. It was Kuro and Syaoran who was arguing about who's cake tasted better and looked better. Sakura shook her head and smiled. They always argue. Soon after, Eriol came and everybody gathered in the small living room.

They all took a bite of their cake and thought it was delicious!

"Hey Sakura, this cake is awesome! It's so sweet and chocolaty." Kuro complimented. Sakura smiled and blushed.

"I agree." Syaoran replied savoring each bite he took.

"Well, looks like Syaoran finally agrees to something that Kuro said." Eriol gasped.

Syaroan glared.

"That's because for once, he says something right." he replied quietly.

"Hey I heard that! I'm always right!" Kuro replied eating some more cake. They argued again. The other three shook there heads and smiled. They would always be like that.
