---
It was spring and the weather was good to work with. Sakura Kinomoto,
15, was making her way to school with her best friend Tomoyo. The two
were laughing and talking as they walked together. Both girls are in their 3rd
year junior high school studying in Tomoeda high. The two were inseparable
since little kids, and now they treat each other like sisters.
But Sakura knew it was about to change in a couple of days, two days to
be exact. Tomoyo would be leaving for Hong Kong to study there; she would
be transferring as ordered by her mother.
"What do you think Sakura?" Tomoyo asked her with a smile, but soon
frowned when she saw that Sakura wasn't paying attention, "Is something
wrong?" Sakura woke up from her deep thoughts when Tomoyo nudged her.
"What?" Sakura asked looking innocent. "You weren't listening to what I'm
saying… Is something bothering you?" Tomoyo asked again with a bit more
concern.
"Lot's of things," she finally answered. "You are leaving in two days; Yue
broke up with me… It's just too much for me to handle. And the list still goes
on after that," she sternly answered.
"Don't think about it too much… It's hard for me too, 'ya know? Just think
that I'd be here on winter, though it's a whole year away, we'd still see each
other," she said reassuringly. Tomoyo took hold of her best friend's hand and
patted Sakura on the back then smiled, "Now let's get to school. I'll treat you
with an ice cream later to make us feel better."
---
"So what are you planning to do after this?" Tomoyo asked Sakura as they
ate their ice creams outside a local shop near school. Ice cream was a way for
them to escape the problems, to clear their minds of the things that burdened
them, a symbolic thing for them to do in times as such.
"Well… I'm just planning on going straight home and bore myself with tons
of homework given us," she answered followed by a sigh. "Clean up the mess
in my room, like throw Yue's stuff away. Kinda like that," she smiled at Tomoyo,
a sign that she might be moving on from the break-up.
"What happened between you two anyway?" Tomoyo's question was
out-of-line, she knew it was but asked anyway.
Sakura bowed her head and groaned out loud, "I really don't want to talk
about it…Please? Don't ask anymore or something that would end up about
him." She took another lick from her ice cream and looked Tomoyo in the eye,
"I am so gonna miss you when you leave…" Sakura gritted her teeth but soon
flashed a grin towards Tomoyo.
"Take care Tomoyo," she waved her hand towards her friend then turned
to the opposite direction and made her way home. It was awfully quiet that
time. She hated it. The silence tortured her, for her, it felt like she was empty…
totally alone in this world.
She turned at the corner and was entering the park she went through
everyday to get to school and to get home. It was still silent. It was a chilly
afternoon, only light breezes no strong, cold winds. No birds chirping, no
leaves rustling, no flower made impression.
Would it be always like this from this day on? She sighed and kept on
walking, bowed her head down in defeat. Then there it was…her heart ached
and she was about to cry until she heard something.
She looked up to see where the sound came from. Is that a guitar playing?
She kept walking until the music got louder. A lovely tune… Then she saw
a man, a guy, a teen, probably her age.
The guy was sitting on a bench, guitar at hand, and playing a beautiful
tune. She walked in closer but stopped and stood still in front of the guy to
listen. As expected, the guy looked up and stopped playing.
He had this chestnut hair and a very charming smile she could see. But
they didn't make eye contact yet. The guy stared at Sakura's hands; he
didn't look up yet to see her face, while she stared only at his hair.
"That was a lovely tune," Sakura smiled and broke the silence. I haven't
seen him around here before…
"Thank you," answered the guy as he looked up to see the girls face.
Then there it was. Their eyes met contact, emerald to amber. The two
were left in a trance looking at each others eyes.
The sky slowly turned from yellow to pink until it reached a reddish color.
Then the wind blew harder, it sent chills up to their spines. The leaves rustled
and flew around them. Flowers were beautifully blooming around them. Birds
flapped their wings when they took flight, they chirped and flew away.
Then all of it slowly calmed down. Everything was back as normal. It was like
a magic moment, but we never know. It might be destiny or coincidence.
They were still staring at each other a few more seconds until Sakura looked
away. She heard the guy put his guitar aside and stood up. "Hi," she heard him
say. "Hi," she answered back and slowly turned her head to look at him.
He stood there with a smile towards her, his hand extended waiting for her to
take it for a shake. She was tensed in a way for a meeting like this so sudden.
But in the end, she tried to relax and smile back. She accepted his hand and
shook them.
"The name's Syaoran Li. You really think my music is good?" He asked
with an inquisitive smile, still holding her hand but not shaking it anymore.
"Yes I do…My name's…" she trailed off as she fell into a trance yet
again when she met his eyes.
"Um…Your name?" Syaoran asked with a VERY charming smile as he
let go of her hand. "What?" she asked back when she came to her senses.
"Your name, I didn't get you name…"
"Oh, sorry," she blushed deep red and bowed down her head. "I'm
Sakura Kinomoto."
"Nice to meet you Miss Kinomoto, and thank you for the compliment
about my music," he said as he turned his back to her to pick up his guitar.
He kneeled down and arranged his things, putting his guitar back to its case.
"Did you make that? I mean, did you compose what you just played?"
She asked curiously. "Yes. I wrote it. I actually feel flattered 'cause I think
it isn't that good of a music," he said as he stood up to face her. Sakura
smiled at him and said, "Well, I think it's really good."
Thirty minutes have passed since they introduced their selves to each
other. By now, the two are sitting at the bench, laughing and talking together.
"That one is funny!" Syaoran said as he bit his lower lip to suppress his
laugh. Sakura was laughing as well, but fell short when she glanced at her pink
wrist watch. "Oh no," she exclaimed. "It's already late…" she stood up and
grabbed her things, getting ready to leave. "I have to get home now," she
explained to the amber eyed boy. "I see…" he answered.
"I'm really sorry," she let out with an apologetic smile. She bit her lower
lip then said, "It really was a pleasure meeting you. I had fun," she grinned
at that and continued, "Thank you for saving me Mr. Li"
He answered and smiled, "I had a good time too." He stood up and shook
her hand once more and looked at her as she made her leave. What did she
mean by I saved her? I'm the one who needs saving… He made a silent
laugh at the thought as he turned to grab his things and go his way.
