CHAPTER II

By theAutumn Shadow

 

Classes have started and the wind blows once again. Students are walking to their rooms while the teachers are preparing for their first class. It was a routine. The bell just rang and students started piling up in the classrooms. Some start talking, others sit back quietly and some start sleeping. The teacher entered the room. She surveys the room and notice an empty chair. She sighs and takes the attendance sheet and began calling the students.

 

Classes have begun but one student dashed through the halls and entered the classroom. She looks at her watch and began cheering. It read 7:34 am. Classes officially start at 7:35 am. She was safe. She jumped up and down not realizing her teacher was inside. “KINOMOTO SAKURA!! Detention today!” Her teacher said. Her eyes were red with fury. Her face is terrifying. Sakura inches away from her teacher and scrambles to her seat. As her teacher sigh, she presents a thumbs up to her classmates who started to giggle. “ DETENTION AGAIN, KINOMOTO, TOMORROW WITH MR. HATAMOTO!!!” Sakura makes face, obviously she didn't like Mr. Hatamoto but then again she had no choice. She sighs and stares out the window.

 

A boy waits patiently outside the classroom, obviously waiting to be called. He looks around and observes the place. It wasn't the best looking school in the world. It had some cracks in the walls. The floors looked as if it hasn't been polished in years. The paints started chipping off and some of the wood is rotting. His face remains emotionless. He heard his name being called and proceeded to enter the room. As he entered, he saw that girl. He saw her, the girl who shook his hand many days ago. “I am Li Syaoran. I am originally from China. You may call me Li. That is all.” The boy introduced himself with a robotic voice as if it has been recorded. The class began whispering and murmuring about the new arrival. `There they go again. Simpletons. They talk about me as if I couldn't see them. I can't blame them. I was the devil's child. They know that. All of them are the same.' Only one girl stood above the rest. Her smile was as bright as day. He stared at her for a moment but looked away afterwards. His expression remained blank. He had no feelings.

 

The teacher pointed to his seat and informed him about the classroom rules. He proceeded to walk to his seat. It was in front of hers. She offered her hand as a form of greeting. He just stared and ignored her greeting but despite his reaction, she still greeted him. “Hello, Li-san. Nice to meet you,” she said. Her voice is pure and her smile remained. It did not falter. Class started. No word came from him. Nevertheless, she just smiled it off.

 

Recess had begun. Li sat by the branch of the tree. He watched the people from the hidden branches of the tree. They act as if they don't know. They act as if I wasn't who I was. I know what they feel. They are afraid. They are angry but do not what to show it. Fakes. He drifts into slumber only to be awakened by the voice of Sakura.

 

Sakura sat by her favorite place which was under the tree. As she looked up, she saw Li sleeping. Kawaii. She called out his name which startled him a bit and made him look down. She smiled and said, “Hello, Li-san.” He just remained silent but she continued to talk. She sat down while talking to him. “Li-san, sorry about the garden incident. I just can't control myself after hearing about the new neighbor. By the way, your garden looked magnificent. It was full of flowers, some I have not even seen yet.” She talked on and on from flowers to his name to mainly everything. Despite Li being passive in the conversation, she just went on. From the looks of things, Sakura seemed like she was talking to a brick wall. She knew he heard her. He knew she knew about him but why did she talk to him?

 

It went on. She sat by the tree while he sat by the branches. Everyday seemed like this. Despite the protest of her friends, she sat by the tree. She talked about everything to him, he just stared. Secrets, hatred, happiness, all were said. By the shadows of autumn sat only Sakura and Li. Li just wondered why she would do such a thing.
