:Pain:
Sakura was pacing, back and forth, holding the note in her hands. Reading over the words again and again in her head, she sat down on her bed, wondering what to do. She sat there, thinking about it, still replaying the words in her head, "Call me." She decided to talk to him tomorrow, seeing how it was late. She put the note on her desk and changed into her pyjamas and went to bed. She was lying in her bed, thinking about the note.
She then decided to call him, but leave him a message to let him know that she had gotten the note. She got out of her bed and went for her bag that was on the floor, next to the desk. She got out her cell and dialled in Syaoran's number.
"Hey I'm not here right now, so leave a message. Yeah…." His message said. Beep.
"Hey this is Sakura. I called to tell you that I just got your note and obviously you're what, sleeping right now, so yeah… Anyways, we can talk about that thing you wanted to talk about at school, so I'll see you later ok? Ok then. Bye." she said.
She hanged up and went back to her bed. Just as she was about to go to sleep, her phone rang. She went back and saw that it was Syaoran calling. She got nervous and the phone rang two more times before she answered it. She then walked back to sit on her bed.
"Uh…Hello?" she said, nervously.
"Uh hey it's me." Syaoran said, as he was pacing in his own room. "Um…I just got your message and I thought that I should tell you right now, rather than later, because it's kind of important.
"Oh…well ok then. What is that you want to tell me?" she said.
Syaoran was quiet for a couple of seconds and then said, "I…"
"You…?" said Sakura.
He stopped pacing around his room and sighed. Then he said, "I…really-"
He was interrupted by Sakura's screaming. "Oh crap! There's a damn spider next to me!" She said as she got up and ran across the room to her door.
Syaoran was surprised and laughed. "It's just a damn spider! Kill it or something."
"Sh-shut up. It's not funny and I don't want to kill it because that's just mean." She said.
"Ok ok. Just get a tissue and grab it and throw it away." He said.
Sakura opened the door and rushed to the bathroom and got some toilet paper and went back to the room. She saw the spider and went close by it and freaked. "Oh god…" she said, in disgust.
In a quick set of moves, Sakura got enough courage and grabbed the spider with the tissue that was wrapped around her hand and quickly ran to the bathroom and threw it in the trashcan.
"Ugh…" she said, with a shudder."I got rid of it. God…today really isn't my day. First I wake up late. Almost lost my book."
"But you didn't thanks to me." He added
"Yeah thanks again. Anyways I got that spider and now I can't do the essay." As she said, sitting down on her bed, in a slump.
"Essay?" he questioned.
"Yeah. Remember that contest that Mr. Terada was talking about?" she said. "All morning?"
"I dunno. I was sleeping." Syaoran said as he yawned.
"Oh yeah you were huh. Oh I noticed that. Why were you tired today?" she said.
"Oh I was thinking about something all night." He said.
"What were you thinking about that made you stay up all night?" she asked.
"Uh…nothing. Forget about it." He said. "So I take it that you're not going to enter the contest?"
"Hell no. Too much work. I got better things to do." She said.
Syaoran chuckled a bit and said, "Ok." He walked over to his chair and sat down in it.
"Oh yeah, what did you want to tell me about?" Sakura said.
"Uh…yeah about that…I wanted to tell you…that I…" he said. Syaoran was thinking about what to say. "I…like to know if you remember about that one time when we were little. I chased you because you had my sweater?"
"Oh yeah. That was pretty fun. I ran away from you after school in the parking lot, waiting for our parents." She said. "And I still remember when we played War in 5th grade. It was me and Tomoyo against you and Namazaki. We were fighting each other over some spot during recess."
"Yeah, but then you fell and got hurt. No one was supposed to be injured. I was worried about you when you went to the nurse's office." He said.
Sakura chuckled a bit. "Oh really? That's sweet of you to think that." She said. "I still remember that one time where I just chased you during recess."
"Heh…Oh yeah I remember that. Why did you chase me anyways?" he asked.
"I really don't know. It was a long time ago. You must've called me something." she said.
"Well it's late so I should let you go to sleep." Syaoran said.
"Oh ok then. Get some sleep ok?" Sakura said.
"Ok. Oh hey, dream of moi." He said, jokingly.
Sakura laughed and then said, "Don't worry. I will. Heehee…Good night."
"Good night Sakura." He said.
"Oh I was really surprised about the note. You could've just called me you know." Sakura said.
"Uh just wanted to know about if you still remembered that's all. Yeah…" he said.
"I could never forget about those times." She said, smiling to herself.
"Yeah, good times. Anyways, night." He said.
"Night." She said.
They both hanged up and Sakura felt happy, reliving the memories, and drifted off to sleep with the thoughts of her, being chased by him to get back his sweater. Meanwhile Syaoran was sitting on his bed, slumped over. He held his phone in his hand, looking at it and tossed it onto the floor. Still slumped, he raised his head up and looked at the calendar. It was September and it had a small yellow post-it note that was right beside it. 'Tell Sakura" was written on it.
He got out of his slump and was lying on his bed. He sighed and quietly said to himself, "Still haven't told her…."
