Chapter Two
You Still Held On
A tall, slim, pretty girl, age sixteen rushed across the school hallway to meet her best friend, Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo!" she cried, clutching onto her books and trying to catch her breath.
The long purple hair turned to reveal a pretty pale face that glowed in excitement.
"Sakura!"
Tomoyo ran towards her and grabbed her hands excitedly, "Sakura! You won't believe it! The whole school's talking about it…except for the guys that is!"
"Huh?" Sakura was completely lost, "What?"
"There's this seriously hot guy who just transferred here!"
"Oh," Sakura smiled, "Go for him Tomoyo."
Tomoyo's face fell, "Are you serious? You're not going to even try?"
"…No."
Tomoyo sighed, "It's been six years already, and you haven't even had one relationship."
Sakura laughed merrily, "Tomoyo, I'm engaged remember? Cheating can get me into serious problems."
Tomoyo paused and something clicked inside of her, "Sakura…where did your fiancée go to again?"
"…Hong Kong."
Suddenly Tomoyo smiled, "Sakura you have got to meet this new guy."
oOoOo
O
oOoOo
Syaoran looked around wearily, so this was the school that Sakura went to. Lots of girls shyly waved at him, and some made flirtatious gestures. Sighing, he diverted his eyes to the ceiling.
Man, he thought irritated, this uniform is really bothering me.
Suddenly he felt his arm getting tugged on, and he looked down to see a cute girl about his own age. Her big blue eyes blinked slowly and a grin broke out from her red lips.
"Hey there! I'm Hotaru, who're you?"
Syaoran grinned, why not, "Hey, I'm-."
A trembling voice suddenly said, "Syaoran…is that you?"
He froze, his eyes widening.
"…Sakura?"
He turned around slowly, away from Hotaru. And there she stood, her beautiful green eyes wide, her short brown-blonde hair wild from the wind.
"Sakura," cried Hotaru, "You know him?" She sneered at her and then blinked up at him, "Introduce us Sakura. So you're Syaoran? What a cool name."
Suddenly Tomoyo appeared, "Ah…Hotaru. So very nice to meet you. (cough, cough) Do you mind leaving the two with me? I'm sure they have much catching up to do."
Hotaru frowned, "Wha…what? What're you talking about?"
Tomoyo rolled her eyes and sighed, "Idiot, didn't you know that Sakura's been engaged for at least six years now to this guy?"
Hotaru snorted, laughing, "Stop it Tomoyo, you're killing me! This loser actually had a fiancée the whole time! I highly doubt it."
Hotaru turned to face him again, "Ignore these two nut-heads. Wanna go to someplace after school today? Like…say my house?"
But he wasn't listening to her, he continued to stare at Sakura.
"Wow…," he murmured, "It's been a long time…Sakura."
Her green eyes softened and she weakly smiled, "Yeah…it really has been…a long time."
Syaoran grinned, "If Iremember distinctly when we were ten, at the airport that I said I'd marry you when I came back."
Sakura laughed, "Ditto."
Tomoyo dragged a reluctant Hotaru away from them.
Blushing Sakura looked away, "So…"
Syaoran walked up to her and grabbed her hand, and his eyes glistened with tears, "You're still wearing the ring."
Smiling, she replied, "And you're still wearing the locket."
"Yeah…" And then he slipped on a clear pink diamond band with gold, silver, and other exotic crystals on it onto her fourth finger.
"Good, it fits," he murmured. Then he grinned at her, "Today you're going to go with my mom to shop for a dress…and you can bring Tomoyo with you."
The school bell rang and Syaoran walked backwards away from her, grinning and waving at her, "Come on Sakura! You'll be late for class!"
Sakura still stared, shocked at him, then she laughed, "Wait up!"
oOoOo
o
oOoOo
Hotaru glowered at the bathroom mirror, her two friends, Yasu and Amaya standing behind her.
"I'll get even with that Kinomoto bitch."
"What about Tomoyo?" asked Amaya.
"Pfft, I know better than to pick on Daidouji."
"…Are you still going to go after the new guy?"
Hotaru smiled at her reflection, "Really girls, do you think that I'm that desperate?"
oOoOo
O
oOoOo
"Are you serious?" squealed Tomoyo, "You're picking the dress today? With me? So then the wedding's going to be like…soon!"
Sakura laughed, "Yeah I know, it seems like a dream to me. Wow, six years…and then poof, my prince charming comes and marries me."
Tomoyo smirked, "'Prince Charming'?"
Sakura blushed.
"Ahem!" coughed their teacher.
Blushing harder, Sakura sat up at got started on history. Tomoyo grinned, "So after school?"
oOoOo
o
oOoOo
"Even if I don't get Syaoran, I'll do something that'll scar Kinomoto for life."
Yasu got excited, "Like what Hotaru?"
She grinned, "You'll see in due time. The year's just started, we have plenty of time."
oOoOo
O
oOoOo
"Wow Sakura…it's beautiful...," whispered Tomoyo.
Sakura stared at her reflection, and Syaoran's mother smiled kindly, "It's so lovely…you're so lovely."
"Thank you," said Sakura shyly.
Tomoyo's mother wiped away her moist eyes, "You look so much like her…your mother…Nadeshiko. She'd be proud my dear. Yes…she'd be very proud."
"Hmmm…," Tomoyo frowned at the white gown, "A little bit more just needs to be added…I'll fix it at my house!"
The two mothers laughed as Tomoyo dragged Sakura off to try something else.
oOoOo
o
oOoOo
Sakura slowed down their walk, "Hey Tomoyo…"
"Yeah?"
"I just realized something…Syaoran's forgot that he's supposed to call me Meiling, again!"
