~~~Chapter one:
After Sakura &
Syaoran
met again, they began to loss track of time going out together, taking
school as though it was a piece of cake.
"Sakura, you know... the final
tests for High School is like only a few days away! Don't you think you
should study at least a little bit? How about coming over to my house this
afternoon?" Tomoyo asked Sakura one morning at school.
"Umm... I don't think I can
today... Syaoran
& I are going to the movies. How about tomorrow?" Sakura replied attempting
to abolish this conversation.
"But- Sakura! You've-"
"Hey Syaoran!" Sakura yelled across
the classroom where Syaoran
had entered.
"Hi Sakura,"
Syaoran walked
towards Sakura & gave her a hug.
"Sakura," Tomoyo exclaimed with
annoyance.
[No reply]
"Sakura! Hey Sakura!"
"Quit that! Tomoyo, I'll go
tomorrow if nothing is on ok? Don't worry about me! I'll do fine! I can
study at home when I have time, Ok?" Sakura &
Syaoran left
Tomoyo as they hold hands & exited the noisy classroom.
"I was afraid of that..." Tomoyo
stared after them.
The next day, it wasn't
extremely a great surprise how Tomoyo had already joined Naoko & Chiharu's
group from school. Sakura these days had excluded Tomoyo from certain
activities & mostly forgotten about her all the time! Tomoyo just seemed to
feel depressed about that.
Finally, it was the Exam days as
all students were nervous about their tests. But soon, no longer or
later, it was all over! When Tomoyo & her classmates looked onto their
marked tests, they somehow over-acted with joy & relieved of how they had
received a high, above average mark. But as Sakura peeked into her
embarrassing mark, her eyes filled with tears as she quickly stuffed her
exam papers into her school bag & asked what Syaoran had got.
"Not extremely good, I got 59
out of 100, I passed though! Lucky me! How about you?" Syaoran replied with
shame.
"I-I... got... 36 out of
100..." Sakura said lowering her head in shame and cried as she walked out
of the classroom & into the girls toilet. Taking out her exam papers out
again, she cried harder.
While this happened, everyone
stared at Syaoran as he began to feel unhappy about it. He thought:
If I hadn't been with Sakura, she wouldn't have to receive this mark! And it's
all because of me! Now, she won't be able to go onto High School all because
of me! It's only me she could blame! What can I do now? ... ... ... I KNOW!!
But sorry Sakura.
The Next Day
"Sakura, I'm afraid we'll have
to break-up... I'm so sorry about your mark & it's actually all my fault
that you've got that terrible result! I shouldn't have stopped you from
going to Tomoyo's house to study! I think it's best for us to break-up...
Sorry Sakura..." Syaoran told Sakura the next afternoon while the sun was
setting at the park.
"But
Syaoran... It doesn't matter about me... I love you... But
why do you have to do that?" Sakura was in shock as she tried to ask why,
keeping her tears away.
"That's just it Sakura! I want
you to get good grades! And it's for your only good too!" Syaoran stopped as
tears rolled down Sakura's eyes, then he continued, " Well, see you
Sakura..."
Sakura stood there staring
after Syaoran in the raze of the
sun, shadowed on the right as she cried silently hoping it was only a
dreadful dream. After
awhile, she ran home as fast as she could & phoned her best friend Tomoyo-
"I'm sorry, Tomoyo's currently not home, please phone later... ... ..."
Sakura buried herself into her blanket & cried & cried & cried... until she
cried herself to sleep...
