Love isn't as easy as you think. It's not as easy as like saying I love you, and then it's happily ever after, life isn't a fairy tale. When we say these words, everything changes, you could lose everything, or gain everything, you never know, and for everyone it's different.
Love Sucks…
Sakura sat on her bed, not knowing what to think. She hadn't seen Li for six months since he'd had gone back to China. His last letter was weeks ago, and Tori had their long distance service cut off to keep them from talking for all hours of the night. Jerk.
Sakura had received some very interesting news earlier that day; Li was not the only one who loved her.
This new person was, as Kero put it, a 'no good sorcerer'. Someone who uses magic but relies on their weapon of choice. She was starting to think that Kero might like Li better then him. They had been friends for a while now, five months. And he had told her very suddenly, after school. Madison over heard. She thought Sakura was cheating on Li, which had gotten them into a big fight. Sakura told her she wasn't cheating, and this the first she'd heard of any of this. Madison felt horrid, she cried, which made Sakura cry. They hugged for a while, and when they felt better, they spent some time joke about it before they walked home.
He told her so calmly, almost as if it was nothing. But never had she heard someone say anything so sincere. Sakura liked him, but not that way. However, she seemed to like him the same way she liked Li, before the Clow Cards were caught. She'd never been so conflicted. Does she really love Li; is she falling in love with Kamaki? Sakura sighed and fell back on her bed. It was late, way late. 2:30 in the morning, on a school night no less! She had no luck getting to sleep, or figuring this out.
She asked the household for advice. Separately of course. Kero was no help. "Dump them both, there both brats!" Dad was no better. "Your to young for relationships, Sakura. Tell them you're flattered, but you're not ready for that kind of thing, okay?" Tori was the only one who really made any constructive comments, which was real creepy. "Listen, I don't like the fact that you're having guys fall over you at such a young age, or at all even. And the guys that do fall for you seem to have all the same "bratish" qualities. But you shouldn't be asking me, or anyone else for help on this. Its your life, you gotta deal with whoever you chose. No matter how much I hate to say it. But, it's up to you whether to pick brat 1, or brat 2." Which didn't help much in my decision, but he was right.
Sakura finally got to sleep, a dreamless sleep for once, without premonitions or nightmares over Li or Kamaiki. She woke up on her own, feeling refreshed and good. She forgot about everything that was happening to her at the moment. Kero was playing video games, trying to keep as quite as possible, till he started losing and began cursing at the television. "Morning Kero!" Sakura says as she wipes her eyes. "Oh. Good morning Sakura. I tried to keep it down. Sorry if I woke you." Sakura shook her head. "No you didn't wake me, I had a great nights sleep for once!" She said getting up. "That's great, what a reli- what! How dare you! Stupid Tonberry! Hit me with that Chef's knife why don't you! Argh!" Kero shouts at the television as he gets a game over. Sakura smiles as she gets dressed and heads down for breakfast.
After breakfast, Sakura ran to the door and strapped on her roller blades and her pads and was off. She had woken up pretty early, and Tori was still in bed, so she went to school alone. She rolled down the street, by now she had rembered her dilemma, and was still trying to think of what to do. She was rolling along and didn't notice Julian as she rolled right into him. "Ow, oh, hey Sakura." Julian said as he held his aching side. "Hi, sorry, I'm kinda pre-occupied today, did I hurt you?" Sakura said, regaining her balance, blushing a little. "I'm fine, just a flesh wound." Julian replied, they both laughed. "So, what's got you so distressed? You look kinda upset." Sakura explained her problem to him, Julian listened with great care. "Wow, that's quite a problem you have there, wish I could help, but..." Sakura interrupted. "I know, I gotta figure this one out myself, right?"
"Well, yes, but I was going to say I'm no good with that stuff."
"Oh, sorry."
"That's okay, anyways, tell me how it works out I gotta get to school. Gotta help set up the classroom today"
"Okay, Bye Julian!" Sakura shouted and waved as they went there separate ways to school.
School
Sakura put her things in her locker and went to her class. When she opened the door she saw him there, Kamaki. He sat in front of Sakura but was asleep at his desk. His arms were crossed on his desk, and his head was resting on top of them, he looked so cute. "Cute? I think he looks cute! Maybe I do like him, oh what do I do." Sakura thought to herself as she slowly and quietly walked to her desk. She pulled out her chair with the most gentle of ease, trying not to wake him. She sat there and waited for class to start. She was an hour early, and was catching up on her homework. All was fine when she heard the school bell go off and everyone piled into his or her seats, but Kamaki continued to sleep in that cute little pose. "Aww, doesn't he look cute?" Madison whispered to Sakura as she gestured to Kamaki. Sakura blushed, and buried her face into her textbook. Mr. Terada came in and sat at his desk. After removing some items from his suitcase, he began to teach today's lesson. All the while Kamaki continued to sleep, which everyone in class but Mr.Terada was aware of.
About half of the way through his lesson, he could start to here what sounded like a lawnmower. Which was fine till he realized that it was February and the grass was covered in frost, which would make impossible to mow. He started to look around the classroom, till he found the problem. "Oh Kamaki, how many times have I had to wake you up in class in such the short time we've known each other!" Mr.Terada said to himself, as Kamaki had been a notorious pain in the neck since he started attending this school. Kamaki continued to sleep peacefully. Mr. Terada was about to blow a fuse, when he suddenly calmed right down, dusted himself off, and went to the blackboard. He picked up a meter stick and walked back toward Kamaki's desk.
Wham! Mr. Terada slammed the meter stick hard on Kamaki's desk, narrowly missing his head. The rest of the class shrieked, jumped, or gasped in horror. Mr. Terada had never done anything like that before! Kamaki took a big yawn and slowly rose. "I'm up, I'm up, keep your pants on, for all our sakes." He said as he sat up and cracked his neck. "Yeash, can't a guy get a little shut eye around here?" Kamaki said as he rubbed his eyes. Kamaki was basically the class clown, he had everyone giggling and smiling, even Sakura smiled and blushed a bit. "You are beginning to reach the end of my patience Kamaki." Said Terada. Kamaki smiled, then said; "Heh heh, then your not going to like the last three months of school then, are you?" Sakura couldn't help but grin.
After School-Sakura's room
"So Sakura, you gonna do it?" Madison asked. "Or are you gonna wait for the Brat?" Kero added. "I don't know you guys, this is hard. Why does everyone have to fall in love with me!" Sakura whined. Madison began to blush, her having a small crush on her before. (And a fetish for video taping her dressed in her costumes.) "I don't think either of them are right for you Sakura, their both way to-." Kero spoke although interrupted. "Enough Kero! It's my decision and not yours! I know you don't like them, but I have to decide this for myself!" Sakura snapped at Kero, just before breaking into tears. The stress was starting to become too much for her, she'd never been this stressed before, even when the Clow Cards were reeking havoc. Everyone had been starting to worry about her. "I'm sorry Kero," Sakura said between sobs with her head buried in her mattress. "I'm just so freaked."
"No its my fault, I shouldn't be interfering this much Sakura. I'm sorry. I'm just trying to look out for you, that's all." Kero said trying to console her. "I know." Sakura said as she sat on her bed, wiping her tears away. "And remember Sakura, your not alone, we're all here for you." Madison told her. "Thanks you guys, but..." Sakura paused. "...I know my answer." Madison squealed. "You do, that's great!" Kero raised his brow. "Then who's the lucky guy? Who're you in love with?" he asked. Sakura lowered her head in dismay. "I think I like..."
