Lonely Hearts

*In the cafeteria*
"Hey, Suki."
"..."
"Suki?"
"Huh? Oh! Hey...Kenji..." Suki said as she tried to read her book.
"Whatcha reading?" Kenji asked.
Suki answered, "To Kill a Mockingbird."
"Oh. I was wondering that maybe we can meet up with each other after school." Kenji said.
Suki asked, "Is this another trick?"
"No! What made you think that?"
"Because everybody else does it to me." Suki answered.
"But this is different. Remember? We have to do a group project."
"Oh, yeah. Why did you pick me for your partner?"
"I guess I never got the chance to talk to you."
"Oh..." Suki said.
"See ya later!" Kenji exclaimed.
"Whatever..." Suki picked up her book and continued reading.
*behind the school*
"Did she fall for it?"
"Yeah! I told you it was like taking candy from a baby." Kenji replied.
"Remember, one week with the geek and you're one of us!"
"That means dating her too."
"This is going to be fun..."
"And...CUT! Good job everybody! All right! Break time!"
Sakura took off her glasses and placed it on her book. Then she walked off to her dressing room. Sakura was playing the part of Suki Li, (AN: Hint ~-^) a class nerd that had very little friends, but is sweet and believes that there is good in everybody.
After Sakura changed into different clothes, she looked in the mirror and noticed how much she has grown. Sakura was always told that she looked like her mother when she was little, but she never understand it until now. She let her hair grow long (about half way down her back), but her heart still aches for the one she loves, Syaoran.
'Today's the day he left. Eight years ago...I won't give up. He will come for me.' Sakura sighed.
There was a slight knock on the door and Sakura opened the door finding Tomoyo standing there genki as usual. Tomoyo walked in and closed the door behind her. They both sat down in front of the mirror.
"The producers told me that they're going do that prom scene on Wednesday! That gives me just two days to make the perfect dress for you!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
*sweat-dropped*
Tomoyo said,"Don't worry, Sakura. You're going to look like an angel!"
*sweat-dropped*
"Oh, yeah. The producers said that we're going to China for the premiere after we finish the movie." Tomoyo said. 'This should get her attention.'
Sakura jumped out of her seat and asked,"Really?! I'm going to see Syaoran..."
"After we finish the movie." Tomoyo finished.
"Oh..." Sakura sat back down.
Tomoyo patted Sakura on the back,"It wouldn't take long if we work hard and memorize your lines. If you can wait eight years, then two or three weeks shouldn't hurt."
"Okay..." Sakura sighed as her eyes sparkled happily.
Tomoyo got up to get the door when there was a knock on the door.
Hui popped his head in and asked,"Can I come in?"
Sakura answered,"Sure! Come in." Hui walked in and sat next to Sakura.
"The producers said that we're gonna do that scene on Suki's first date instead of the project scene." Hui said, faintly blushing. (AN: Hui plays Kenji in the movie.)
Tomoyo noticed Hui's blush and asked,"Are you nervous, Hui?"
"No...yes...I mean...kinda" Hui stammered.
Sakura read her scripts and said,"Hui only nervous because he has to kiss...ME!?" Sakura jumped out of her seat and started to panic.
Tomoyo said,"Sakura, it's not real. In fact, you guys could just pretend to kiss, but not really kiss."
Sakura sat down and said,"Thank goodness. Oh! Hui, don't take it personal, but you have to understand that I already have a boyfriend and it would feel weird if I actually kissed you."
Hui nodded his head,"I understand."
A worker knocked on the door and said,"You have one minute left, Miss."
"Come on, Hui. We better get there before we're late." Sakura said as she got up with Tomoyo and Hui, and they walked out the door.
When they got there, the producer said,"Okay people! This is the scene on Suki's first date with Kenji! We want to see some chemistry!"
Sakura started to protest,"But..."
Tomoyo walked up to the producers and whispered something in his ear.
"Oh, I understand, but she's gotta make it look real." The producer answered.
Tomoyo walked back to Sakura and said,"You don't have to kiss Hui, but you got to make it look real."
"That should be easy..." Sakura said as she looked at Hui.
Hui replied,"Okay..."
"PLACES! Quiet on the set! Ready! ACTION!"
After walking up the stairs, Kenji knocked on the door.
"Dad! Mom! I'm leaving!" Suki said as she ran down the stairs. Suki wore a pink t-shirt and khakis.
Mom exclaimed,"Be careful!"
"Okay mom!" Suki exclaimed.
Suki opened the door and said,"Hey Kenji! Ready?"
"Yeah." Kenji replied.
"Bye mom! Bye dad!" Suki exclaimed.
"Bye honey!" Suki's dad exclaimed.
Kenji drove Suki off to a nice, quiet park. Then he opened the door for Suki when they got there.
Suki stepped out of the car and asked,"What are we doing here? I thought that we were going to the movies."
"I wanted to show you something first." Kenji said as he took Suki's hand and lead her off into the park.
"Wait. It's a surprise." Kenji put his hand over Suki's eyes and said,"Okay, no peeking."
Suki smiled and said,"Okay."
Tomoyo thought, 'Sakura is such a great actress. It's great to see Sakura enjoying life again.'
"Ready?" Kenji asked.
Suki giggled and replied,"Yeah."
Kenji removed his hand and said,"Okay, you can look."
Suki opened her eyes and looked in awe at the scene. It was a beautiful lake with lilies everywhere and fireflies lighting up the night sky. The stars were sparkling brightly and the air was peaceful. To Suki, it was breath-taking.
"It's...beautiful..." Suki said.
Kenji smiled and said,"I thought you would like it."
Suki turned to Kenji and hugged him. "Thank you for showing it to me."
Kenji looked Suki and whispered,"I never noticed how beautiful you really were..."
Kenji moved closer to Suki and kissed her. Suki was shocked at first because it was her first, but eased a bit and returned the kiss. Kenji moved his hands down to Suki's waist as he continued to kiss her.
Suki stopped the kiss and looked at Kenji for a couple of seconds and continued to kiss him.
"AND CUT!!! Beautiful! That was fantastic! We'll continue tomorrow!" The producer exclaimed.
Tomoyo ran up to Sakura and exclaimed,"I told you that it wasn't going to be a problem! And it looked so real!"
Sakura said,"Arigato, Tomoyo." Sakura turned to Hui and said,"It was a pleasure working with you." Sakura left them to got to her dressing room to change into her street clothes.
Tomoyo turned to the blushed Hui and asked,"Do you have a crush on Sakura?"
Hui stammered,"W...what m...made you...think that?"
"You keep blushing every time she smiles at you and everybody on the staff, except Sakura, knows that you have a thing for her." Tomoyo replied.
Hui stammered,"I...I don't k...know w...what y...you're talking about." Hui quickly walked off to his dressing room. (AN: Hui is a year older than Sakura.)
"Despite the fact that Sakura already has a boyfriend, Hui is still going to fall in love with Sakura." Tomoyo said as she shook her head.
"Tomoyo!"
Tomoyo turned around and saw the producer calling her. "Mr. Hokaoi?"
"Tomoyo! Did you finish the design for Sakura yet?" Mr. Hokaoi asked.
Tomoyo answered,"I'm starting it this afternoon, sir."
"Good. We don't want anything to go wrong. That way we'll be right on schedule." Mr. Hokaoi said.
"Tomoyo! Ready to go to the mall?" Sakura asked as she walked up to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo replied,"Okay! Bye Mr. Hokaoi!"
"Bye Mr. Hokaoi!" Sakura exclaimed.
Hui walked out of his room and saw Sakura walking up to him.
"Hui! Do you want to go to the mall with us?" Sakura asked cheerfully.
Hui blushed,"S...sure."
*~*~*~*~*
"This is going to make Sakura kawaii as ever!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she held the fabric close to her.
*sweat-dropped*
Tomoyo asked,"Hey, Hui! How come you're so quiet?"
Hui replied,"I...I guess...I don't have anything to say..."
Sakura giggled,"Come on, Hui! I race you to the other side of the street!"
"I...I don't...AHH!" Hui yelled as Sakura pulled him and ran off. "Okay. If you insist..." Hui said as he ran against Sakura.
Hui got to the other side before Sakura and exclaimed,"Ha! I finally won!"
Before Hui can continue celebrating, he noticed that a car was heading straight for Sakura.
"SAKURA!" Hui and Tomoyo shouted.
Sakura noticed the car and was scared stiff.
"Sakura!" Hui yelled as he ran toward Sakura, but was too late.
br /> Sakura laid still on the concrete when Hui approached her.
"No! Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled as she ran toward her friend.
'It's my fault. I was standing right there. I could have push her out of the way. I could have...' Hui thought.
Tomoyo broke Hui's train of thought and yelled,"Hui! Hurry! Call the hospital! Sakura's not breathing!"
