Chapter Five: Friends
:----------------------------------:
The older man felt tears sting his eyes as he remembered that moment. 'Why had I agreed with the bet?' he kept asking himself. If only he had told her, if only he was able to tell her earlier. Than none of this would have happened. He stared down at the book like it was something precious and would break if he wasn't careful, "Why'd you leave me Sakura…no…why'd you leave us?"
:----------------------------------:
Teaching him, was one of the best moments in my life…I got to know so much about him, who he was. But…sometimes I wonder, was he true to me? Or was the entire thing just a bunch of lies? I wish that it wasn't…I wish to god it was the truth…but was it? Even now I still wonder that, laughs softly did he really love me?
Sakura sat on our couch unsurely. Was he really going to show up? Big tough popular guy Syaoran, did he really want to pratice his lines for the good of the play? Or was this all just some set up to stand her up? The questions kept floating in her mind even as the doorbell rang startling her.
"C-c-coming!" Sakura yelled quickly getting to her senses and running to answer the door.
"Took you long enough," he said gruffly as she opened the door. Sakura growled, "Hey! I'm the one helping you here!" Syaoran eyed her slowly, a slow smirk rising on his handsome face, "Yeah…okay, okay." With that said he slowly used his crutches to enter the room. Sakura frowned, but inside she was smiling, she had won another fight with the oh so furious Li Syaoran.
"So shall we start?" Sakura questioned sitting next to him. "Ah, yeah sure," Syaoran said as he eyed the house. It seemed like she wasn't as rich as he thought she would be.
"Um…okay how about we pratice scene six again…you really messed it up the first time," Sakura asked ruffling through the paper. "It was that bad?" Syaoran asked finally setting his eyes on the lines.
Cheryl: How could you Kevin…how long have you known this 'Sateen', she's probably a slut like the rest of them! What about us!
Kevin: (tiredly) Baby…there is no us anymore.
Sakura growled, "Honestly Syaoran…at least try!" Syaoran eyed her, "Okay…okay."
Kevin: (in a deep and husky tone) Baby…there is no us anymore.
Cheryl: How could you! You told me you loved me! You told me we were forever.
Kevin: (deep voice, full of emotion) I don't know what love is…but if this is love? Than…I'm drinking it baby, cups of it…if this is love than its great. If this is love than with her its heaven it's perfect. And heaven is with her doll face, with you I just don't get that feeling anymore.
Cheryl: You're lying! She's nothing to you! Tell me you are lying Kevin. Tell me!
Kevin: (growls) Get off me Cheryl. I told you it's over, I don't feel it. I am in love Sateen and not with you.
Cheryl: But…but you were my everything. (pleading voice)
All of a sudden Syaoran started bursting out laughing. Sakura eyed him, "Okay what is so funny now?" Syaoran raised a brow, "Sorry, you just seemed so into it. I mean you were BEGGING me!" Sakura stepped up crossing her arms, "It's either you focus, or we stop here," Sakura threatened. Syaoran piped down, "Okay…chill girl. You're way too uptight." Sakura turned to him and stuck out her tongue childishly, "Whatever, lets just keep going."
:----------------------------------:
The next few days Sakura felt she was floating on air. She no longer had to worry about the so called 'popular' group now that she had made some new friends. "Sakura-chan!" she heard Kaori's soft melodic voice call her. Sakura smiled running towards her friends, "Yeah?"
"Where were you yesterday?" a girl named Chiharu asked. She had soft brown hair that was placed up in pig tails and the light brown eyes. She was dating the script writer Takashi. "I was busy," Sakura replied nonchalantly as she leaned onto the locker tiredly. "Ohh…doing something naughty?" another voice rang out. The girl was named Rika with long curly reddish brown hair and eyes.
Sakura giggled, "Oh of course not. I wouldn't do something that you wouldn't do." Rika blushed from that comment; everyone knew she had the largest crush on their drama teacher. Naoko looked at the group shaking her head, she was a girl with dark brown hair and had a pair of glasses covering her brown eyes, "We better get going unless we all want to be late for class."
"Hai!" Kaori said as they all ran towards their first class.
:----------------------------------:
It was around lunch time as Sakura walked the halls mindlessly, after yesterday's pratice they had decided to have daily practices since as they only had three weeks until the grand production. As she wondered around trying to find her friends she noticed Syaoran and his gang hanging by the door.
Tomoyo smirked as she noticed the girl walking closer, "Oh my god look at that slight," she commented as her and Mei Lin grew in a fit of giggles. Syaoran seemed unfazed by that comment as Eriol wrapped his arm around Tomoyo's shoulder, "What did that poor girl ever do to you?" Tomoyo snarled removing Eriol's arm from her shoulder and walker closer to Syaoran, "She was born, that's what."
Yue shook his head, his silvery hair floating around him, "I'm glad you aren't like that Mei Mei." Mei Lin giggled, but quickly stopped when she noticed Tomoyo glare.
Following her glace Syaoran noticed as Sakura walked closer towards them. "Are you coming tonight?" Sakura asked him as she stopped right in front of him smiling up softly. "Er…" Syaoran mumbled trying to think as he noticed everyone glaring at the poor girl. "In your dreams, why would I come over to your house? Nerd," he bit out harshly. Sakura smirked lightly, seemingly unfazed by the comment, she had friends now, real friend she didn't have to be scared of people like him. "Oh?" Sakura said softly, "In my dreams…fine than," was her swift reply as she walked off into the cafeteria.
"What a freak so fucking desperate for some penis…she should find someone in her league," Tomoyo muttered as she watched her retreating figure. Mei Lin sighed, "Oh come on guys, I'm hungry let's eat."
:----------------------------------:
Sakura sat by her friends as Chiharu gave her a funny look, "Why were you over there talking to THEM?" Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "Was just checking something." Kaori raised her blue eyes, "Checking for what?" Sakura once again shrugged her shoulders, "It doesn't matter."
Kaori was about to say something, but decided against it. Sakura could do whatever she wanted. "Hey Sakura, have you finished the songs yet?" Takashi asked as he sat down beside Chiharu. Sakura grinned, "Yep, here's the lyrics," Sakura said handing him three sheets of paper. Takashi nodded his head, "Okay, I'll tell you what I think afterwards, enjoy your meals ladies."
Chiharu blushed furiously as he walked away. The other started to giggle at their embarrassed friend.
:----------------------------------:
When Sakura returned home today, she went straight to her piano.
So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again…
Sakura stopped playing as the knocking on the door interrupted her soft slow tune. Sakura grudgingly got up and opened the door; Syaoran quickly stopped his hand from knocking on the wood as he watched to door open. "Saku…" he started but couldn't finish as Sakura slammed the door in his face.
Syaoran scrunched his face and began knocking on the door again. Sakura sighed opening it again, leaning on the doorway, "What do you want Syaoran? I thought you would only come in my dreams?" "You know I didn't mean it like that Sakura," Syaoran argued but Sakura cut him off. "What did you mean it like?" she took one step closer to him, "Did you mean it like we should be secret friends? Is that what you wanted? For us to be friends only when your friends aren't around?"
"You read my mind," Syaoran said grinning as he stepped closer to her when Sakura stepped out of the way. "Well I don't do that," Sakura continued, "So when you get your head straight, and want to be real friends, call me." With that Sakura stepped back inside and slammed the door in his face. Syaoran stared at the doorway in awe; no one had ever slammed the door in his face before, let alone twice by the same women.
:----------------------------------:
Sakura glanced down at the black piano that was placed in the middle of her living room. She smiled; her father had taught her to play when she was younger. Sitting down on the seat she read over the lyrics again. She had written the lyrics with the inspiration of Ryu. She smiled softly thinking of his jet black hair, although he wasn't here now, she knew he was watching over her.
Touching her neck, she felt the cold material run through her hands. She never took off the necklace or the bracelet. A few times her new friends would ask her about it, but Sakura preferred to not answer. She felt…she felt that they didn't deserve to know. Not that she was trying to be mean, but Ryu and Miaka were hers. Miaka…Sakura had considered telling her everything, but in the end had decided against it. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell her childhood friend, but she was scared. She was scared that if she told her friend, she would come running back dropping everything in England.
Sakura knew, she knew Miaka so well she knew that Miaka would hop on the next plane just to help her adjust. But she couldn't do that. She couldn't ruin Miaka's dreams over her self. Sakura could handle this on her own, in her heart Sakura knew. All she had to do was believe, and she could make it through.
