It started raining now. I was sitting on the cherry tree, still crying, crying because of everything. Tomoyo ditching me, and Li, just when I thought we were gonna be friends, he became mean and forgot, yeah right, purposely forgot, because he wants to please his beautiful Anna.
My whole face and body are soaked now. I was shivering in the cold.
Great, I’m going to die like this now. All the more reason not to stay home. The rain was getting heavier, I couldn’t breathe anymore, my head was getting heavy. I closed my eyes, and slipped away, from the strong branch I was sitting on.
I really wanted to die. There’s really not much left for me, I’m not the heroine of this story that’s for sure. Nobody will notice if I die… I’m just some freak who’s madly in love with this guy who don’t even notice me. My only friend had ditched me. I have nobody, nobody, except my family. But I don’t want to trouble anyone.
I was expecting to hit the wet cold hard ground of the walkway of the Park, But I felt none of that before I blacked out.
I felt something hot and yet wet at the same time was put on my forehead. I slowly opened my eyes to find three pairs of eyes staring at me.
Ruby ones. Grey ones. And Cerulean ones.
I know who’s ruby eyes are those, and the grey ones, but who is the guy with those amazing blue eyes.
“Kinomoto, are you okay?” Mei Lin asked.
I got up from the couch I found myself to be laying on, there was Mei Lin, and her boyfriend Ryu and the guy with the cerulean eyes.
“Yeah…” I started to got up, but something from my stomach was rising, from my stomach to my throat.
I vomited.
SHIT! The puke went on her expensive-looking carpet as well.
I waited for her to throw me out.
But she didn’t do anything of the sort. Instead she came and pulled me up and lead me to the bathroom. I continued vomiting when we were there.
“Ryu! Call her house, and tell her Sakura is at my house. In case, they
are wondering where she is, tell her she is not well. And tell them that they can pick her up or we’ll send her home as soon as the storm is over.” Mei Lin ordered.
When I was done she gently pulled me inside of which I think is her bedroom.
I was put on the bed, and she pulled out a nice clean grey shirt.
“Here, wear it.” She said.
I quickly pulled my wet black shirt out, and wore the grey one.
“ I told Eriol to make tea for you, and Ryu went to get medicine. They’ll come with your things. Wait, okay?”
“Thank you.” I said, sincerely.
“Welcome.” She said, she closed her wardrobe and sat next to me.
“ You weren’t there by accident.” She said darkly. “ Were you there because… Tomoyo ditched you…or Syaoran ditched you as well…”
The mention of their names, had little drops of tears coming out of my eyes. I wiped them away with my hands.
Mei Lin saw them.
“Sorry, forget I said that.” She said sheepishly.
“No, its fine, yeah…Tomoyo left me, but how did you know about Syaoran.”
“I know a damn lot about Syaoran, that’s why you’re here, and also its because the fact that Syaoran and I are cousins.”
“Oh…” I said.
“See, now because Syaoran came to our school, he became much meaner than he already is, now he has Anna wrapping him around her fingers. Yeah, Syaoran told me that you’re coming over to his house. And Sakura, we were coming half and hour later to his house. Well when we came to his house, you weren’t there, and he started telling us this story about how you came barging in. I was like ‘Syaoran, didn’t you remember, you guys had to do a project together, you told me yourself’ and he was like ‘Oh.’ And I got a little angry at him for ditching you like that, so we left, and you know my house, well we have to pass the house to get there, and we found you fainting, thank god Ryu and Eriol caught you in time.” Mei Lin explained, and took a deep breath after explaining.
“Syaoran, such an ass.” Mei Lin said, angrily
“ And letting that bitch Anna take control over his life.” She continued.
It took me a minute to register everything in my head. Mei Lin and Syaoran are cousins. Syaoran forgot. Mei Lin saved me.
“ Yeah, and Tomoyo left me to be with her…” I said sadly.
“ Aww, Sakura, you can’t blame yourself like this.” Mei Lin sighed, sympathetically. She called me Sakura!
“ She’s the one who ditched you, let her be the one to regret it, okay, and for now, if you feel really lost, come talk to me okay, I have friends I can introduce to you too…” Mei Lin said brightly.
“So…you don’t think I’m a freak?” I said, my voice turning squeaky.
“Sakura, out of all the people that pick on you, do you see me becoming one of them, I am not like them okay, I don’t befriend people just by their looks and their status okay? Besides, even before now, I knew that you’re not the freak that people call you. You just don’t seem to want people to approach you.” She said.
“ Thank you…so much.” I thanked her again, a tear again.
“ Ah, Sakura, stop being all mushy now.” Mei Lin said, half annoyed half amused, she smacked me with a pillow.

Mei Lin smacked Sakura with a pillow, forgetting that she was sick, she was very surprised and guilty that Sakura fell down and fainted anime style.
At the same time, Ryu and Eriol came in, to find that Sakura had fainted.
“Holy shit, Mei Lin, what the hell did you do to her?” Eriol screamed.
“Hehe.” Mei Lin giggled guiltily.
It was already Monday morning. How time had pass so quickly yet so slowly at the same time, simple, it was because of fate and your emotions. What happened over the weekend certainly got me down, yet it was because of fate. Maybe that’s why fate had Tomoyo left, me so I could find another, and be more mature, that’s it. Since I talked to Mei Lin, I decided to leave it all to fate.
Right now, I have to pull myself together, the past is gone, and I just have to move on with life. And not cry over it, like I did before.
I already got showered, so I put on my usual attire. Ate my breakfast, put on my converse and left.
I wasn’t all that upset anymore. I’m actually really glad that Mei Lin had been the one to found me, because if it wasn’t for her. I’d ended being more pathetic than I already am, and just stayed there to even die.
I don’t know, I don’t want to think about that. Admit it, I was too dramatic wasn’t I? Yes, of course it’s sad, but there’s no need to kill myself over it.
When I passed the hallway to our locker, I felt all warm and peace to find that Mei Lin and her friends are waiting for me at my locker.
When I walked I gave all of them a warm smile. Stop being so selfish, you can’t always let people come to you to be their friend, you have to approach them too.
“Hi.” I said.
“Hey.” Mei Lin returned, this time giving me a big friendly smile.
I started pulling books out of my locker for the things we needed in class.
“ I gotta introduce you to all my friends. This is Chiharu, Naoko and Rika. Say hello guys.” Mei Lin said brightly.
“ Hey guys.” I said again. Trying to act natural, but inside I was nervous.
Chiharu, Naoko and Rika were a bit shy at first, I bet they believed some of what Anna and the clones told everybody. But, seeing as I’m really being quite open than I really am, they were starting to get talkative too.
So I found out that Chiharu is going out with her cousin Yamazaki, and she’s nice. Naoko is a smart girl who loves paranormal things and inventing up stories. Rika is more quiet, but she loves cooking as while we were talking, she handed us this yummy brownies, which apparently she made by herself.
Naoko looked at her watch, and said. “ Hey, we have to go to our class, see you later Mei Lin, Chiharu, Sakura!”
Mei Lin, Chiharu and me are in the science class together. Rika and Naoko take another class. Speaking of science, who is Tomoyo going to sit with?
I shook my head. She forgot you, you should forget her as well.
As we were in class, while the science teacher was giving off lectures, I saw Li Syaoran staring at me, with the look on his face…
I looked away.
What the hell does he want?
When science was finished and it was time for break, I was just exiting out of the science lab when Syaoran caught up to me.
If we reversed everything, say Syaoran hadn’t forgotten, and we had fun working on our project at his house, my heart would be skipping 10 times faster now, that he ran all the way to talk to me!
But, no, he acted like an ass when I came to his house.
“ Sakura,” Syaoran said.
I didn’t say anything. Just looked at him straight in the eye.
“I’m sorry. I forgot. It just came to me after you left.”
Bullshit. You remembered because you cousin told you.
“ I want to make it up to you. Please can we meet in the public library tomorrow after school?”
“ You sure you won’t forget.” I finally opened my mouth.
“No.” He said. “ See you later.” Then walked off.
Mei Lin, Naoko, Chiharu and Rika were waiting for me as well. I followed them, but not before receiving an evil eye from Tomoyo.
