It started with a box of Chocolates
Chapter 1: The day after endless thoughts
Disclaimer: State the obvious. I do not own CCS.
I wanted to try something a little different… something a little less cliché-ish in its storyline. I don't know how different it turned out, but it was worth a try.
Reviews are always appreciated.
Summary: Syaoran has a box of chocolates and a very good idea. Can these delicious little prizes win the heart of the girl of his dreams?
He had thought about it for a long time. And let's just say… yesterday night, sleep was very much unattainable to him.
How do you tell the girl you love, you love her, in a romantic, unique gesture, while not making it over cheesy?
Chocolates… he'd finally come to the conclusion that chocolates would do the trick. They were simple, sweet and very obvious in its meaning.
Early next morning, Syaoran arrived to school fashionably early.
When everyone was still outside of school, having fun and talking with friends, he went to her locker and placed the sweet chocolates inside. He placed a note besides it, telling her how he felt and asking her whether she felt the same way.
He'd done this before asking someone out that is, but it was his first time actually being nervous about it.
Maybe it was because she was different. She was better than him. She was special. Everyone adored her.
"Hey Syaoran." Syaoran jumped from the locker, hearing the sweet voice.
Sakura stood before him in her school uniform, wearing her white vest and short black skirt. Her hair was down today; swept gently away from her face and tucked behind her delicate ears.
"What are you doing inside?" She asked. She looked at him weirdly for the way he had jumped.
"Uhh.. nothing. I just needed to see the teacher about my assignment and uh… whether I've done it right."
Sakura nodded. "Okay…"
They'd been friends for a long time now and she knew him well enough, to know that he was hiding something.
"What are you doing in here?" Syaoran asked her.
"Well, uh.. I came early today to see yo…" She paused. Syaoran didn't notice the slight pink that flooded her face. ".. Yuri! And well, I saw you coming into the building so I decided to follow. I hope that's okay with you."
Syaoran nodded. "Yeah, that's okay. I'm glad you came early."
"You do?" Sakura asked, surprised.
"Yeah. Of course. I miss playing soccer with you early in the morning." He said, smiling at her.
"Oh…" Sakura murmured.
"Here, I'll hold your books." Syaoran said, taking them.
His hand brushed against Sakura's arm.
"Thanks Syaoran!" She smiled. She turned away, slightly blushing, as Syaoran gave her one of his rare smiles.
Syaoran began to walk with Sakura following behind. When he was at least two feet away, Sakura let out a tiny sigh and allowed her head to drop.
She thought she was able to hide what she felt, but lately… it was getting extremely difficult.
He was getting to be better looking everyday and now… she wasn't the only one that realized how beautiful he really was.
"Hey Syaoran." Hisa said, flashing him a smile, when they got outside. "Oh Good morning Sakura." She said when she realized Sakura was with him.
Sakura did not fail to realize, the lingering gazes that followed Syaoran.
