“ Sakura! Tomoyo called she said to tell you that she will arrive in the park in half an hour, said because of traffic.” Touya called from downstairs.
“ Okay. Tell her I say okay.” I replied back.
I closed the door of my bedroom slowly.
I can’t believe it, today will be our last time together for the school year before school is out for the summer.
One month ago, somebody confessed me for the first time ever in my life. Did I tell you I was soooooooooooooooo happy! Maybe not.
I opened the wardrobe door, and took out a cool green sundress.
And no you did not read wrong, I am wearing a sundress.
What happened to the freak who wears black all the time? Has she turned into an Anna clone?
No no, I assure you I didn’t. At least I don’t act like one. Well, I decided to not wear black all the time. To put it simply. I didn’t really change anything of my personality except my clothes. They’re casual and sometimes cute. I am definitely not into the hooker slut type of clothes. Speaking of clothes, the coolest thing happened a few weeks ago. Chimiko now hangs out with us, and she ditched those clothes for a more comfortable softer style. I thank god as well for making her dye her hair back to its original colour, which was brown, so now she is no longer an Anna clone. She is somebody!
I looked into the mirror to fix my hair. Today I decided to leave it down.
I turned around and saw the clock. I had to go.
I said everybody goodbye as I left for the door. We decided today to meet in the Penguin Park.
10 minutes later, by walking, I arrived. As I walked towards the path searching for familiar faces, I noticed the trees were already greener than ever, and I was sweating already.
I saw Chiharu’s braids behind a cherry blossom trees, and a few pairs of feet sitting on a mat, I ran.
“ Sakura, hey!” Naoko called out first.
“ Hey everyone.” I greeted, beaming at everybody who like me was also dressed in summer clothing.
“ Sakura.” Li said my name. He never fails to make my heart melt, even just by staring at me or even saying my name.
“ Hey!” I said brightly, he offered me his hand so I could sit next to him on the mat that was below many people.
I realized I was the last one to arrive, because Eriol, Tomoyo, Syaoran, Naoko, Yamazaki, Chiharu, Chimiko, Mei Lin and Ryu are here.
Typical me.
Tomoyo offered me a cup of orange juice.
I thanked her and drank slowly while listening to the group’s conversation, which is currently the World Cup.
“ What’s tonight’s match?” I asked.
“ Wait I’ll check.” Eriol took out his cellphone and start pressing buttons.
“ Speaking of soccer, I think I want to try out for the girl’s football next year.” Chiharu said.
Yamazaki faked a cough.
“ Shut up!” Chiharu whacked him with a fan.
“ You Sakura?” Syaoran asked me.
“ Um…maybe, but me and Chimiko are definitely in for track.” I said, and put my arms around Chimiko’s shoulders.
“ Hell yeah.” Chimiko replied.
I’ve decided to not be shy anymore and tried out for the track team, I made it! So I’m a runner. Chimiko has super arm strength and she aces at discus and shot-put. Tomoyo is of course a cheerleader and Mei Lin, great at volleyball. Naoko decides to try out for swimming, and Rika joined the local badminton club. We’re all sports girls.
“ Sakura you can’t run. Not faster than me.” Syaoran said.
I elbowed him.
“ Hey you cheated okay. You took off your shirt.” I shot back.
“ well its your fault for practically tripping yourself over.” He said.
“ Grr.” I growled.
“ Just another normal beautiful day.” Tomoyo said solemnly.
“ Come here baby.” Eriol said.
Then they both start making out right there.
“ Get a room.” I said disgustedly but I laughed too.
“ Aww, Mei Lin, why can’t we do that?” Ryu whined.
“ You’ll get yours soon boy.” Mei Lin purred.
“ Euw sick you guys are all horny.” I yelled.
“ Aren’t you?” Syaoran asked, flashing his secret teasing smile.
I blushed, I was about to say something, but his lips were on mine already.
I giggled and kissed him back.
So me, a chameleon, well I still am, but I just found myself more new friends, a boyfriend, and opened a bit of myself to the world. I am still shy, but well I guess I have to live with it. And I said it at the beginning didn’t I? I did not become the popular girl in school. And the guy who confessed to me, we didn’t confess in some fancy place or at a dance like in those movies. And Anna and those bitches, they still tease me, but I don’t care anymore. So, I didn’t turn out to be a slut or anorexic. I became something like sporty, but I like to look good too. Life is good, at least for now, as I am with my best friends, on a lovely first day of summer, having a good picnic, oh, and kissing Syaoran.
THE END
