Till They Take My Heart Away

" I'm going." An auburn haired boy said as he headed out the door.

" Don't forget your…" His mother paused. The boy was gone already. "Lunch." She sighed and fixed her matching hair with the boy.

Syaoran Li stepped in his dark blue mustang and drove to school. His face grimaced as he felt the cool spring breeze upon his face.

Spring is here… I hate it.

In minutes he reached his school, Tomeda High and so he parked his car. He got out and put on his black jacket over his sleeveless white shirt. He walked looking around until he saw familiar faces, Eriol and Takashi looked backed at him from afar.

"Hey Li." Eriol said his blue hair almost covering his eyes.

"I see you've gotten rid of those dork glasses." Syaoran said plainly.

"I got rid of them last week." Eriol said with a slight frown fading right away.

Silence.

"We got him real good huh?" Takashi smirked.

"Yeah. That ought to show him not to mess with us again." Eriol slyly smiled.

"Yeah." Syaoran said.

RING!

The three started to head for the school when they came in an announcement came on.

"Great he's never late to wreck our day." Takashi said out loud.

PA: Would Syaoran Li please come to he office right away

Takashi and Eriol exchanged looks. Syaoran however remained emotionless.

"You think he squealed?" Takashi asked both of them.

"No. Not that guy. Someone probably saw us." Eriol said clenching his fist.

"You mean someone saw me." Syaoran said.

"Are you-" Eriol began.

"No. Remember what we agreed on? I'm going to take everything." Syaoran said without looking at him. No emotion on his face whatsoever.

The trio stopped at the office. Syaoran walked in only to find the principal's angered face.

"Sit." He said.

"What do you have to say for yourself Li?" He asked.

Syaoran did not look at him but merely looked up at the ceiling. "Say to what?"

"You know what I mean Li. A girl I prefer not to name came to me and told me that it was your fault for Shui's 'accident'." His eyes looked like it wanted to cause him an accident too.

"Oh that. That was me all right."

"Oh? That's it. No apology or anything?"

Syaoran looked at the principal's eyes. "Never."

"I see."

Syaoran looked up at the ceiling again.

"There will be no doubt consequences for these actions Mr. Li."

No answer.

" Well you'll be participating in the spring play, teach challenged children and 4 days worth of community work away from Tomeda of course. "If you know what's good for you you'll do this. Or your father would have to interfere with this."

Syaoran lips twitched. He is not my father.

"I see that we understand each other. You are dismissed, go to class."

Syaoran without a word walked out to the principal's office. Still looking up at the ceiling and walking aimlessly through the halls.

Father… I hate you.

All of a sudden his train of thought was interrupted as a girl bumped into him. Seeing her books drop he realized it was Sakura Kinimoto. Her light brown hair shined in the ray of sunshine from the windows. After picking her books up she stood up and looked at Syaoran.

"Sorry Syaoran." Her emerald eyes looked into his piercing hazel eyes.

"Late Kinimoto?" He said giving him his famous death stare. But she kept looking into his hazel eyes.

"Yes." She started to walk away.

Syaoran turned around. "Kinimoto."

Sakura eagerly turned around. "Yes?"

"Don't ever call me Syaoran." His eyes pierced her emerald eyes again.

Sakura looked away and walked away her long skirt lifted by the wind just a little bit as she walked. Content Syaoran smiled blankly and headed for his first class.

"How was your meeting?" Takashi asked as they sat outside the bench where they usually hang.

"Fine. I have all this crap to do for a whole 2 months."

"Fun." Eriol said.

Sakura walked casually pass the trio.

"Hey Kinimoto." Eriol said.

Sakura stopped. " Hi."

"Nice sweater." Takashi said.

Sakura's face lit up. "Thanks."

"Oh Kinimoto your grandma called she said she wanted her sweater back." Takashi said. With that remark Takashi and Eriol laughed Syaoran smiled bluntly.

Sakura looked away and more quickly now walked away.
