He watched her from behind the school yard fountain. She was as clueless as ever. No, he was not just being mean, her best friend had even said so.

He took another peak at her and his face pricked with red heat. Why did he have to like her, Her of all people. He took a deep breath and turned around away form her. Why did his heart have to race for her. It was that smile, the way she made sure he was always okay.

Why can't i just tell her. The boy thought to himself.

"umm. Hello." Stunned  and broken from his thoughts, he looked up...into her eyes and smiling face. "Why are you sitting here all by yourself?"

His face went red again. "Umm....I..I."

I have to tell her now.

"I....you...umm."

Her smile faded. "What is it?"

All of his confidence seemed to dissolve, so with out warning he did the only thing he knew and ran with his heart beating in his ears.

The girl's best Friend joined her. "what just happened." She asked.
The girl was still watching after him. "I...I don't know?" She sighed. "He ran away from me again."

The girl's best friend Shook her head. "You really are clueless."

"Wha..?"

"The poor boy... He's Trying really hard to tell her."

"Wha...??" the girl said again.

Her best friend smiled. "Never mind..." she took her friends hand. "Lets go."

Sakura and Syaoran forever <3 :P.
