Chapter 4: I'm Sorry

Sakura stood up ready to leave. As she tucked her chair under her desk, she glanced at Syaoran chatting with his friends.

Syaoran turned and looked at her before telling his friends, "hey, I got to go earlier. See you later."

"Why so sudden?" they asked.

"Nothing really," he shrugged before hurrying over to Sakura.

"Huh? Never imagined those two…"one of his friends began.

"Would be together," the other one continued.

Everyone murmured in agreement, much too two girls distaste.

"So, how is she?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura replied, "I think she's sleeping right now."

She checked on Angel who was resting in a wooden basket as she followed Syaoran into a room.

Shutting the door, he told her, "There shouldn't be anyone coming in here. So we would be safe not to be discovered."

Nodding shyly she looked over at the angel before saying, "ah, she's getting up."

The angel rubbed her eyes slowly and sat up and said dumbly, "Syao—ran."

"HUH? She… she knows how to talk!" Syaoran said in surprise.

"Say it again!"

"Sakura!" the angel replied.

"Come on! Try to say Syaoran! Try!"

Sakura smiled softly as she thought, 'I cannot believe that I could ever be alone with Syaoran. It's so hard to believe that all of this is real!'

Sakura POV

Suddenly he asked, "What's this? This flower?"

"Oh! It was from my mother's garden. She seemed to like lavenders, so I gave her one."

He must have forgotten…

"A while ago, every time before I compete in a soccer game," he said, "my locker would always have the same flower. However, there aren't there anymore lately."

I stayed silent, blushing heavily.

"That time, I kept thinking, who it was…" he added.

He really remembered?

Flashback

Sakura looked around the hallway, her hand clutching a lavender flower in her hands.

She quietly slipped the flower through the vents of the locker and prayed quietly, "I hope it would bring victory for him…"

End of flashback

"So it was you all along, Sakura."

He remembered!

Blushing, I replied, "uh, I'm a fan of soccer, and I wished that the team would win… besides you were the captain too so…"

The angel looked at them both before saying, "like Syao—ran."

Waving my arms around frantically I said, "what are you saying!"

"Like Sakura!"

"Like Syaoran!" she chirped happily.

I watch them play together, as my heart thudded hard.

I love Syaoran. I really do love him.

Normal POV Soccer field

The coach raised his hand and blew the whistle three times.

"Ok! Break time. 10 minutes!" he instructed.

Syaoran panted a little and looked noticed Sakura waving at him. He turned and jogged over.

"You're here! Where's Angel?" he asked.

The brunette smiled, "she's sleeping quite soundly right now."

"Really? Well, now that you're here, I have to do my best!"

The boy returned the smile with a wink and Sakura blushed heavily.

"Oh, yeah! I'm going to bring Angel to check out the rainforest park sometime this week."

"Really?" Syaoran replied, "then can I tag along as well?"

"Eh?"

"Don't forget, I'm one of Angel's guardians as well!" he said, "so can I?"

"Uh…ok!"

Back to Angel

"Not here?" one of the girls earlier asked as she opened the equipment room.

"Then I guess it's ok for us to go in," the other one answered, running her hand through her short black hair.

"Those two must be somewhere alone!" the first girl mumbled angrily.

While they were talking, Angel woke and rubbed her still sleepy eyes.

The short hair girl spotted a wooden basket and picked it up. "Hmm? This basket…"

"Beep," a sound came from within the box.

The Angel, startled by the sudden movement, flew out of the box and onto the top shelves.

"What the heck was that!"

Soccer field

"Huh?" Sakura said suddenly, "An…gel…"

Did something happen? She thought silently.

"ANGEL!"

Equipment Room

"Almost there!" the girl said as she use the broom to strike Angel.

"STOP!"

The jumped and saw Sakura and Syaoran at the doorway.

"What are you guys doing!" he demanded.

The girls dropped the broom and said, "we were…"

"Angel…" Sakura said, ignoring everyone, she reached out the high shelves and hold the trembling angel in her palms.

I'm sorry," she thought as tears trickled down her cheeks. She brought the angel the her face and whispered, "I'm sorry Angel…"

"Bringing a bird to school is to grab Syaoran's attention right!" the girl exclaimed hotly.

"It's too obvious!" the other added.

"You—"

"You know nothing! Actually, she had always like you!" the short hair girl cried, interrupting Syaoran.

"What about Tomoyo's feelings!"

Sakura was stunned. She never thought about what Tomoyo felt.

"Come on, let's go," the girl pulled her friend away from them leaving the two brunettes alone.

"Don't care about what they said, ok?" Syaoran said as he turned around.

Sakura POV

This is revenge right?

Not only have I been with Syaoran, but starting to hope for…

Syaoran won't like girls like me.

Being with him is like a dream come true.

Angel brought me this chance.

Angel brought me this chance to dream and hope!
