Chapter 3 : All Because Of One Small Thing

Sakura skipped happily back home as she recalled back the meeting with Haru. The more she thought about it, the more she blushed. She was holding a big box of her cake with only four pieces left inside. The other four have been given to Haru and Tomoyo while these four pieces of cake were for Syaoran and her. The cake was divided fair and square.

"I'm home, everyone!" she banged into the house. She was surprised to see Syaoran no reaction to her but she was even more surprise to see Eriol in the house.

"Oh…hi Sakura…me and Syaoran were talking about some project…oops, I guess I've to go now. Bye, Syaoran," Eriol spoke and then he whispered something into Syaoran's ear.

"Just be normal. I think that thing she's holding is for you! She really cares about you so don't be rude or mad at her. I'm going!" and Eriol left quietly. For a moment or two, Sakura and Syaoran just looked at each other. They didn't know what to talk about or to start with.

"Erm…w-what's that thing you're holding?" The boy spoke. The girl slowly put the box on the table.

"This," she spoke in a very formal tone "is my delicious…no…just add a bit more… MY scrumptious, precious, most delicious and once in a blue moon chocolate cake for me…and for you," as her voice became softer and softer. She opened the box and he took a peek in the box. Syaoran first didn't know how to react.

"So Sakura does care about me…and what happen to the other four of her cake? Did she give all of them to Haru? No…or maybe three pieces? She doesn't even know him and she gave it to him? Ergh…" Syaoran thought to himself. Anger boiled in him.

"Hmmm…tasty and delicious…" when she noticed that Syaoran was staring at the cake but not eating it. Notice something was wrong, she shook his shoulders.

"Xiao Lang…is everything okay? Syaoran, answer me!" Sakura asked him worriedly. The amber-eyed guy snapped out from his thoughts and put a fake smile to Sakura, which made Sakura suspicious.

"No…everything's fine…" he took a piece of cake and ate it. It was really delicious, I mean, like heavenly chocolate cake. Syaoran kept eating but Sakura knew Syaoran was hiding something from her.

"So…how was the cake?" she asked. Syaoran gave two thumbs-up. But Sakura still wasn't satisfied.

"Hey…I'm asking for your opinion and you just gave me these thumbs-up? More compliments! I had to make the cake three times so that it will be a perfect one, you know!" she laughed. Syaoran shook his head but gave as much compliments as he can like a slave to a witch.

Sakura almost forgot that her final exam was coming nearer and nearer. She had trouble memorizing the dates of the history years and wanted help. She didn't want to disturb her best friend and so when it was almost two weeks before the exam, she studied right after she came back to school till midnight or maybe up to 2 am. That had explained why below her eyes were wrinkles like black pouches.

Tomoyo was really worried of Sakura but every time when Tomoyo wanted to help Sakura, Sakura just said:-

"I don't want to trouble you."

"But Sakura…"

"No buts. Anyway, it's my problem for not studying long time ago."

"…"

And so Tomoyo kept blaming herself when Sakura's not aroundthat it's her own fault that she herself can't help the poor Sakura.

But in Syaoran's case, it's a different story. When Syaoran came to help her in her studies, Sakura just can't refuse for she would love to sit beside him. It's not that she didn't like Tomoyo. She cared for Tomoyo but sitting beside Syaoran was like a dream come true for this auburn hair girl because Sakura wasn't the same class with Syaoran and during school time, they rarely bumped into each other.

"So every night, I'll teach you from 8-10 p.m. It's better to get a good night's sleep."

"…"

"Sakura?"

"…huh? What just happened?"

"Nothing happened, I'm just telling you that I'm going to give you lessons starting from tomorrow onward from 8-10pm."

"Oh…okay then. Nite, Xiao Lang." HELL YEAH! I'M GONNA GET TO SIT BESIDE HIM FOR A WEEK! I'M GONNA LOVE THIS!

"Nite."

When Tomoyo just came passing by Sakura's room and took a peek inside, she saw the blushing girl and the hot guy sitting together like teacher and student and so Tomoyo didn't mind it at all.

But the worst is yet to come.

THREE DAYS BEFORE THE EXAM. 9.46 PM.

Tomoyo told Sakura that she(Tomoyo) was going to sleep. Half an hour later, someone banged into the house and you could here huffing and puffing and panting and there came in a messy chestnut hair guy into Sakura's room. Sakura almost screamed cuz she thought this guy was some burglar or something.

"Oh, sorry, Sakura. I forgot to take something from a shop…"

"LI XIAO LANG (That's the only Chinese words Sakura knows)! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THIS ROOM NOW! IF YOU DON'T GO BATHING NOW, I AM SO GOING TO…"

"O-okay…fine!" and he rushed out of the room. Sakura look at all the mess Syaoran made when he came into her room. Sweat, dirt, dust, hair…

"S-S-Sakura…is…everything o-okay?" came a worried answer outside her room.

"I'm fine, Tomoyo-chan! A stupid idiotic jerk wolf just came into my room! You can go to sleep now."

"Oh…I'm so glad you're safe." And Tomoyo walked back and closed her room door quietly. Sakura took a mop from the toilet (there are two toilets here) and mopped the mess when she spot something beside the mess.

"Eh? What's this?" she asked herself. She picked up the object on the floor that happened to be a small square envelope. On the envelope was a sentence saying 'PRIVATE PROPERTY: DO NOT TOUCH'. I don't think Syaoran would mind if I just opened it. After all, I'm his roommate and he won't care much if it was I.

And so she opened this little white envelope and there it was---a photo. And this photo had a picture of him in a cap, a white shirt, a sporty jacket and brown baggy pants in front of one of the Seven Wonders of the world.. I will secretly keep his picture! He looks so cool… And so she kept it away and quickly swept the entire dirt and dust on the floor looking really happy ---NOT!

The description of how Syaoran look in the picture was real but Syaoran wasn't alone in that picture he was---WITH A GIRL. A much prettier girl that was what Sakura thought to herself. But the girl wasn't much better than Sakura. She looked more like a spoilt child with sunglasses on her head and a white blouse and pink miniskirt. She was putting her arms around Syaoran's neck that was making anger boiled in Sakura.

Syaoran was neither smiling nor sulking in the picture. He was just---normal. He just seems not to care with the surrounding around him. And didn't even care a girl hugged him while they took a picture.

Sakura was so angry that she decided to tear the picture but she---didn't have the heart to do it. Sakura put the envelope on her roommate's (Syaoran's) table. She was depressed.

Flashback

Few months ago

The amber-eyed guy packed his clothes and things into his luggage and was ready to go. When he began to open the door.

"Xiao Lang!" a girl with two buns on her hair jumped onto the guy and hugged him. They lied flat on the floor. The cheeky girl smiled at him.

"You ready to leave, darling?" she smiled. Syaoran sweat dropped and pushed away Meilin and stood up. He was so frustrated.

Syaoran was suppose to go to the trip with his family but suddenly Meilin bugged in when the guy and his family talked about their family plans for the holiday. And Meilin begged Xiao Lang's mother so that she (Meilin) could follow he and his family for a holiday. His mother said it's all right because she was his cousin. And so Syaoran didn't say anything.

Sakura was just walking back home after her cheerleading practice in the school field. She saw Syaoran going into a grand Black Mercedes car. At first, Sakura thought it was a kidnapping case but when she saw Syaoran walking into the car with a travel luggage, Sakura sighed with relief and walked back home.
At China,

"Li Xiao Lang! Wo men ke yi ee chi pai zao? (Syaoran Li! Can we take pictures together?)" the black hair girl pulled his sleeve as they passed by the one of the Seven Wonders of the world. But before he could answer, his mom said yes and Syaoran felt like hell. He will be in the picture with a stupid annoying brat?

"Now Xiao Lang, don't you suck or do silly actions unwanted in a photo. Why not be normal as though nothing has ever happened?" his mother advised him. Syaoran just obeyed. And somehow he unwittingly let Meilin put her arms around his neck.

End of Flashback

Syaoran came back to Sakura's room only to find it locked. There was a 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign in the front of her room. And he slowly walked back to the room. Suddenly, he saw the small envelope on his table and checked to see whether it really was the photo. Syaoran remembered he didn't go into his room since he came back home. OMG! Sakura saw it! Now how am I going to explained this to her?
Flashback

Syaoran was drinking a bottle of Pepsi Twist when his hand phone rang. The hand phone screen shown an unknown call but he just answered the phone.

"Hello, Syaoran Li speaking."

"Good evening to you, Mr. Li. This is the Kodak Photo Shop. It's been more than a month since you sent your photos to develop and you still haven't collect your photos yet. This will be your last day to collect it."

"Oh, crap! When are you going to close your shop, miss?"

"In five minutes. We won't accept any delays."

"Oh, okay! Thank you! I'm coming!"

And as Syaoran looked at the watch, he saw the clock was five minutes to 9.30 p.m. Syaoran suddenly realize that he was just ten meters away from the photo shop.

"Here are your photos, sir. 35 dollars, please," the lady in the shop spoke. Syaoran paid and saw the photo of him and Meilin.

"Erm…miss, I think I need a special square envelope to put in this photo," he said to the lady. The lady took the envelope without asking why he needed it. (cuz I heard some people will asked why you need this and that)

"Please come again and have a nice day, sir," (You don't expect to call him kid, rite? I know he's thirteen! Let's just say the lady's fifteen) the lady bowed politely and so he left.
Syaoran dug for a pen in his pocket and found one. He wrote 'PRIVATE PROPERTY : DO NOT TOUCH'. Syaoran didn't want Sakura to know about this photo because he was afraid that she might hate him.

End of Flashback

Sakura felt like Syaoran had no interest for her. Syaoran didn't even show any emotions for her at all. It seemed like he treated her just as---a friend. Just a friend. And Sakura felt that it'd be the last hours that she can love Syaoran.
A/N: I think I might be revising one if the chapters in this story...but I'll inform all of you about it in the next chapter! I'm writing new stories now and at the same time listening to the song 'Incomplete' by Backstreet Boys. But I'll somehow be inserting a song lyrics in one of my chapters here. Take a guess what'll it be (the song) ! And please read and review!

Preview from the next chapter

Sakura slapped Syaoran right in front of Meilin and Eriol. Meilin grinned evilly but Eriol was shocked of what Sakura had done. A guy in a motorcycle was waiting for Sakura. But before Sakura left, she whispered somethig to Syaoran.
