A Love Story by Aneko-chan
Summary: Kinomoto Sakura is a 16 year old tomboy and a very beautiful one. Even though she was a tomboy, the whole male population would swoon around her and would ask her out. She rejects them. But then one day her father tells her that she’s engaged to a certain boy called Li Syaoran.
Recap from Chapter 12:
“Hey, isn’t that Kinomoto Sakura?”
“Yeah, she’s the one who got dumped and slapped by Li Syaoran.”
“She must’ve been very upset…” Sakura glared at the group of people who whispered to each other. The group of girls shivered and quickly left the room. Sakura sighed. She already got over it, why was with it the rumors?
She heard someone enter the room. She quickly turned around to look who it was, thinking it was Tomoyo. But she guessed wrong. It was…
Li Syaoran.
Tears forming in her eyes, Sakura blinks in order for them to keep them in. She’s not going to cry. She gave up already. Or did she? Maybe she thinks she does, but her heart wouldn’t let her. What does it want from her? Sakura and Syaoran’s eyes met.
One with pure hatred and one without emotions.
Chapter 13: I thought you loved me
Sakura and Syaoran stared at each other for a couple of seconds and silence erupted between them. Until someone decides to say something.
“Good morning Kinomoto.” He said coldly. Sakura flinched when he said her last name.
“Good morning to you too Li.” She said it back twice as cold. Syaoran flinched even more but Sakura didn’t notice it.
“I hope that you can forget about that slap. That was an accident.” He said. Sakura quickly turned to him and glared harshly.
“That didn’t look like an accident Li.” She hissed at him.
“…Well then, it doesn’t matter anymore. Cause it’s the past.”
“It was only a day ago!!” She said angrily. He shrugged and walked to his seat. A few minutes later, all the students entered the class and Sakura and Syaoran kept quiet. This happened till lunch time.
Sakura was sitting down on her favorite lunch seat in the cafeteria. Tomoyo was sitting with Eriol across of Sakura. Machiko noticed them and walked up to them and smiled.
“Is it alright if I sit here?” She asked. Sakura smiled back.
“Sure. No problem.” She said. Machiko sat down next to Sakura.
“I’m going to try to talk to Yumiko about yesterday’s incident today.” Machiko said. Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol looked up shocked at her.
“Are you sure?” Tomoyo asked. Machiko scoffed.
“Like I was ever scared of her. She’s just a bossy and a fucking slut wearing all those revealing clothes and never noticed she was even one.”
“But…I’m already over it.” Sakura said softly. Machiko looked at Sakura in shock.
“But didn’t you like him? You’re already over him that fast?” She asked.
Sakura knew that she wasn’t over him yet. She’s doing her best to forget him. And she grinned and nodded to Machiko.
“Yup! I’m over him!” She said. Tomoyo and Eriol looked at each other worriedly. Eriol looked at Machiko.
“Machiko, I was hoping you’d do me and Tomoyo a favor.” He said. Machiko looked at Eriol.
“Sure. What is it?” She asked.
“…it’s not right to talk in public.” He said. Sakura looked at Eriol weirdly.
“Why not? We’re all friends right? Shouldn’t we listen? Maybe we can all help out.” She asked. Eriol shook his head.
“Sorry Sakura. This is a personal matter.” He said and soon after Tomoyo, Eriol and Machiko went to talk leaving Sakura by herself.
On the other side of the lunchroom sat Syaoran, Yumiko and her friends. Yumiko snickered as she saw Eriol, Machiko and Tomoyo walk away from Sakura, leaving her alone.
“Aww Kinomoto is alone. Looks like her friends dumped her.” She said. Her friends laughed along. Syaoran turned his head slightly to take a look at Sakura.
She looks depressed…I’ve never seen her like that before He thought. Yumiko looked at him quietly.
“Something on your mind?” She asked. Syaoran shook his head.
“No. Nothing.” He said and turned around. Yumiko looked at Sakura for a second and turned around also.
Sakura sighed. For once, she’s upset. She didn’t want them to help her with her problems. She can solve them by herself. She played around with her food for a while until Tomoyo, Eriol and Machiko came back.
Sakura forced a smile.
“So…what did you guys talked about?” She asked. All three of them looked at each other and then looked back at Sakura.
“Nothing much.” Eriol said and gave a smile. Sakura rolled her eyes.
Yeah right. Then why not talk about it in front of her?
“Um…okay.” She said and threw away her food. Machiko looked at Sakura.
“You’re not eating your food?” Sakura shook her head.
“I’m…not hungry.” She mumbled. She took a glance at Yumiko’s table and noticed Syaoran actually smiling and laughing. Along with Yumiko. Sakura’s eyes widened.
I MUST be dreaming. This cannot be happening. Ugh…I don’t feel so well… Sakura groaned and rubbed her forehead for a while. Tomoyo gave her a melancholy look.
“Sakura-chan, are you okay? You look a bit pale all of a sudden.” She said. Sakura shook her head.
“I’m okay…just a bit dizzy I guess…I’ll go get my jacket…” She said and once she stood up and took at least two steps, she dropped down on the floor and fainted. Machiko, Eriol and Tomoyo quickly got up and ran to the unconscious Sakura.
“Sakura-chan! Wake up! Don’t die on meeee!!” Tomoyo yelled out, tears about to pour. Machiko felt Sakura’s forehead and then looked at Tomoyo and Eriol.
“She’s got a very bad fever. She’s burning up fast. We better take her to the nurse quickly.” She said. Eriol nodded and carried Sakura piggyback style. Tomoyo quickly followed. Machiko gave a glare to the people at Yumiko’s table who were staring and left the cafeteria.
“How is she, doctor?” Tomoyo asked worriedly. The nurse shook her head.
“If she’s this sick, she should’ve stayed home. She’s going to need a full day’s rest and some medicine in order to get better.” She said. Eriol stayed outside the Nurse’s office with Machiko. Tomoyo looked back at the unconscious Sakura.
“…” She turned back to the nurse.
“Thank you doctor, we’ll come visit her soon.” She said and gave a polite bow. The nurse nodded her head.
“I’ll contact you once she wakes up.” Tomoyo nods and walks out the door and stares at the other two.
“…so…now what?” Eriol asked. Machiko turned her head towards him.
“I’ll go settle this now with Yumiko since Sakura’s unconscious. Don’t want her upset now do we?” She asked. Tomoyo and Eriol shook their heads. Machiko gave a small smirk as she walked away from them.
Yumiko laughed as she walked down the street by herself.
“If she was sick, she shouldn’t have came to school! She just made a big fool of herself!” She said out loud, giving a big grin. Syaoran has went back home.
“Can’t you shut the fuck up? You’re being noisy.” Yumiko glared at the person who said that. Her eyes widened.
“Machiko?!” And there she was, pissed off and right in front of her. Machiko slowly walked towards her while Yumiko took a step back.
“Damn right that’s me. You should just shut that big mouth of yours before someone shut it for you.” She said. Yumiko glares.
“You dare?” Machiko scoffed.
“Who wouldn’t? I bet even Li would too if he had the chance. Too bad he’s a guy who doesn’t hit girls.” She said. Yumiko shook her head in anger.
“He can’t! He loves me! Why else would he be my boyfriend?!” Machiko gave a laugh.
“Funny funny Yumiko. How funny can you get? He doesn’t love you at all. You threatened him with Sakura so you can get him for yourself. It doesn’t matter. His heart doesn’t belong to you so just stop it."
“N-NO I didn’t! I didn’t threaten him! He came onto me himself! Don’t believe me! Fine!”
“You know, you’ve changed a lot Yumiko. You’re not the kind and caring girl I once knew. You’ve become conceited, slutty, mean, unsensitive to others. Just what happened to you five years ago?”
“…nothing happened. I’ve changed because I wanted to. So just beat it. Loser.” Machiko sighed.
“Ya know, I hate doing this to you. But…you deserve it. No one will help you now.” She said and walked closer to Yumiko. Yumiko gave a glare and took a step back.
“What’re you going to do? I’m going to shout. I’m really going to shout!” She said. Machiko rolled her eyes.
“I think you should stop. People won’t help even if you shout since you’re wearing such slutty clothes.” Machiko leaned to Yumiko and gave her a cold hearted glare.
“From now on, I, Machiko, will never be your best friend or friend again!!” She said and then punched Yumiko in the face. Yumiko fell down holding her nose, which started to bleed.
“AHHHHHHHH!!! YOU FUCKING BROKE MY NOSE!!! I’M GOING TO SUE!!” She screamed. Machiko scoffed and turned her back away from her.
“You don’t even have the money to sue, you fucking bimbo. You deserve what you get.” She said coldly and walked away.
You got what you wished for, Eriol and Tomoyo. Somehow, I feel so much better myself. She thought and smiled to herself greatly.
Sakura, meanwhile, came home with her father, who drove her back.
“…I’ll go upstairs now.” She said to her father. Fujitaka nodded.
“I’ll get you something to drink okay?” He asked her. She nodded. Once she got up to her room, she jumped onto the bed and looked up at the ceiling. She was about to fall asleep until her cell phone started to ring. She didn’t bother to look at the caller and put the phone to her ear.
“Hello?...” She asked quietly.
“Sakura?” Sakura stopped. Her eyes widened. It was the one voice she didn’t want to hear, especially in the phone.
“…why are you calling me?” She asked.
“…my mom told me to call you and told me to apologize for the…incident.” Sakura gave a frown.
“Ah…so your mother scolded you eh?” She asked.
“Yeah but still, you should know that our relationship is never going to be what it was before.” Sakura could feel tears coming from her eyes again. She did not want him to hear her cry. But she couldn’t stop it. She let out a sob.
“Sakura?...are you…crying?”
“You’re…saying my first name again…” She said between sobs.
“Oh…well, we’re still friends right? Well…not inside of school…but..” Sakura couldn’t help it. She cried even more.
“I thought you loved me…” She said, sobbing. Syaoran didn’t say anything. “I…really really thought you loved me…”
“…I really do.” Sakura’s eyes widened. She stood up.
“What…?” Not believing what he just said.
“…I really do love you Sakura.”
“B-But why would you-”? She asked, stuttering half way. But he has already hung up. She took the phone slowly off her ear and looked at it.
“…what does he mean…why is he confusing me so badly?” She asked angrily to herself and threw the cell phone to the wall. She then put her hands to her head and screamed out loud.
