Yay! A short chapter! This means less work for me! Woohoooooooo!
Jkjk, I'm just warning you, there's a spoiler at the bottom…
Rinnngggg, rinnnggg, rinnnnngggg
"Hello?" Sakura answered her cell phone, throwing herself on her bed. She was utterly exhausted.
"Sakura! Is that you?" Of course, it was her old buddy old pal, Tomoyo. "I saw you on TV!" she squealed delightedly. Sakura grunted, staring at the ceiling. "Wow can you believe that he's…"
"Syaoran?" Sakura finished for her, obviously sounding angry. "You knew about this, didn't you?" Sakura accused. There was a pause.
"Well…maybe, maybe not." Tomoyo stated coyly.
"Is any one in here?" a soft voice called. Standing in the doorway was the quiet girl, Andie. Sakura looked at her a moment and whispered quietly in to the phone.
"I have to go."
"But, Sakura, I have to tell you something!" Tomoyo protested loudly. Andie only stared, her eyes like deer in a headlight. Sakura silently shut the phone, silencing Tomoyo's rant. Andie walked wordlessly over to the unoccupied bed next to Sakura's and glanced at her black suitcase. Sakura sensed she knew what she was thinking. Rule number 1: no contact with outside influences.
"Hey there!" Sakura brightened, trying to change the subject. She glanced over at two over empty beds set near the corner.
"Are other people coming?" Sakura asked curiously.
"I'm not going to tell." Andie spoke up, looking Sakura square in the eye.
"Thanks, it won't happen again, I promise." she answered. Ironically at that very moment, her cell phone went off again. Both girls froze and Sakura chuckled nervously, taking the phone in her hand.
"Better turn this off." Andie was silent for a long time, unpacking her suitcase. Sakura stuck her phone in her pocket; she'd check it later.
The numbers on the clock glared 2:37 AM. While her roommates slept, Sakura found she couldn't. The room was quiet, except for Andie's loud snoring. Strange that she was so quiet awake, but so loud asleep. Sleep, please let me sleep…Sakura thought, closing her eyes, embracing unconciousness.
"Sakura?" a soft voice called from somewhere. Sakura remained still, wondering if she had imagined it.
"Sakura, are you there?" there was a soft knocking at the door. You've got to be kidding me. Sakura rose drowsily from her warm bed and walked towards the door.
"Who's there?" she asked sleepily, and slightly annoyed.
"Just open up." The voice called. She opened it with a startling creak. A dim
light was coming from somewhere, barely, but visibly illuminating the shape standing before her.
"Syaoran? What are you doing here?" She yawned, not yet aware he was seeing her in her cotton boxers and thin tank top. He took her hand.
"Syaoran!" she realized it wasn't a dream, but reality.
"Shhh, I have to talk to you." He whispered huskily, leading her into the dark
hallway. He smelled good, like soap. Sakura liked this smell, but it smelled especially good on him. He led her into a small room and shut the door. I didn't take long for her to realize that she was in the bathroom, alone, with him, in the dark.
"What'd you want to talk to me about?" she whispered into the darkness. He was still holding her hand.
"I have to know something. Do you remember me?" He asked seriously. Sakura let out a laugh. He had no idea how much she remembered him.
"Yes, I do remember you." She laughed. "Do you remember me?" she questioned eagerly. He squeezed her hand. Then he laughed too.
"How could I possibly forget about you? The moment I saw you tonight, I knew it was you, but I didn't want to scare you, in case you didn't remember." Sakura squeezed his hand back. It was warm.
"You have no idea how relieved I am to hear you say that." She breathed. "It's so good to see you again. We have a lot to catch up on." All of a sudden, he wrapped her in a warm embrace, his scent surrounding her, his hair pressed against her cheek. She was glad it was dark, that way he couldn't see her blush.
"We can't tell anyone about this." He said seriously. "You'll get kicked off. I really don't want that to happen." She felt her face get hot. In fact, the whole room felt hot, or maybe it was her being with him. She could've sworn this was a dream.
"You should get some sleep. I should too, we both have a big day tomorrow." He said thoughtfully, opening the bathroom door. Sakura felt the blast of cool air.
"Yeah, I'll see you in the morning." She yawned again as he walked her back up to her door. "This is so weird!" Sakura sighed, opening her door. She saw Syaoran nod slowly. He bent down and kissed her softly on the cheek. Her face was on fire!
"Good night." He whispered, walking down the hall.
"Good night." she mumbled happily. She shut the door and quietly crept into her now cool bed. She lay there and for the first time all night, she really smiled, and meant it.
Yeah that's right, he remembers…
