Chap-1

Pilot

As Sakura walked down the empty hallways of her school HKH on a Saturday evening towards her locker; she observed the few people who came these days for the school associations & club practices and what not. She saw the cheer leaders, passing by and smiled at them but they threw her disapproving looks. It was obvious that they didn't approve her much. There are several reasons for that of course- dressing up in a uniform too big for her and a too long miniskirt plus the overlarge glasses that kept falling of her nose, you would actually think that they have absolutely nothing to do except talk about what others' wear. It also had something to do with her attitude too...despite them openly judging her you could say she didn't give a damn. She was who she was and nobody...not even peer pressure could change her. But she wasn't always like that… her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji knew better-

"Hey Sakura-chan" a cheery voice echoed.

"Good evening Tomoyo how was the choir practice?" Sakura asked. "It was ok... Momoka kinda messed up" she replied. "Tomoyo you ought to go, if anyone sees us together your 'fans' won't stand it" Sakura informed whilst rolling her eyes. "You know I don't care" Tomoyo said with a sad look on her face. It was clear that she missed Sakura...a lot. Ever since Sakura moved to Honk Kong she has become the local nerd. Long story short...Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't really hang out as much as they used to. Tomoyo was one of the jocks and Sakura a nerd.

"I want to hang out with you Sakura. How about you sleepover at my house today?" said Tomoyo "Are you sure?" she asked. "Of course!" said Tomoyo. Sakura felt happy...finally some quality best friend time.

Suddenly an excited red head bounded up and locked arms with Tomoyo.

"Hey Moyo...babes. Ready to go?" she asked. Sakura looked from the confused face of her best friend to the red head who now she now recognized as Chiharu Mihara. Seeing Tomoyo's confused face she exclaimed.

"OMG! Don't tell me you forgot today is Yamasaki's birthday party?"

"Oh um...I didn't forget. I was just on my way" Tomoyo said uncertainly

"Okay girl...As promised you are staying over at my place tonight. I'll meet you by the school gates...oh hey Sakura-chan. Nice seeing you too...I am so pumped its Takashi's birthday; woohoo!" the hyper active Chiharu left the two girls staring after her.

"Oh man… and I can't avoid this party because I promised Chiharu that I would show up… come on sakura; Join us" said Tomoyo

" Tomoyo I just...dont-" Sakura stuttered.

"Sakura...you don't have to try so hard find any excuse...I know exactly why you're not gonna come" Tomoyo's amethyst eyes blazed. "I don't know how long you're gonna keep up this act of being someone you really are not..."

"It's not an act Tomoyo...this is just who I am now" Sakura exclaimed

"Sakura-chan...You and I both know that isn't true..." Tomoyo placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder "Sakura...I just want you to be that amazing hilarious cheerful girl you were when we were both in Japan. I know what happened 3 years-"

"I don't wanna talk about that...Tomoyo...I think you should go" Sakura's eyes were hid behind her bangs.

"If you insist" she said. She hugged me and left. Somehow tears found their way in Sakura's eyes. "I am really sorry Tomoyo" Sakura muttered softly and allowed herself a moment to calm down. She looked at the watch. Crap! Its 5 pm Touya gonna to sue me if I'm late!

She went locker 208 took her skates and went out. Most of the students had already left as the infamous party of the popular Jock starts at 6. Sakura heard two guys arguing on campus. It was Eriol hiragizawa & Syaoran Li

"Syaoran! You have GOT to come" said eriol

"Have you not been listening to me for the past half hour? I- don't- want- to" said li

"But you have to...it would be such a shame if the captain of the soccer team failed to come to his team member's birthday" said Eriol

"And why should I care?" asked Li asked clearly not amused

" Diadouji is there! I think I'll ask her out... she's is so kawaii! And she is Japanese" said Eriol said wiggling his eyes suggestively.

"Says them all. Just go single!" said Li and that was the end of discussion

"Ha! As if" said Eriol said

"Suit yourself" said Li retreating

"You don't know what you are missing!" Eriol called after him.

"I am sure I do" Li shouted back. Eriol shook his head and made his way to join some of the other kids getting ready to leave for the party.

Sakura was very intrigued by the whole conversation. Had the most popular boy at school ditched a party that he was so wanted at? He is just faking it. He will most probably just show up at the party later on something. Another part that she worried about was Eriol. He was a player...everyone in school knew that. And if Tomoyo was his next target...nah Tomoyo won't fall for him but it wouldn't be bad to get some insight about the situation from his best friend right? May be I can warn him off or something...but that's stupid and probably not plausible...

Ergh! Do something Sakura... Tomoyo's sweet face flashed in her mind. She shouldn't even be thinking about this...she MUST do something

Sakura watched the soon fading figure of Syaoran. In a long loud voice she shouted-

"Yo syaoran, captain of soccer team". He turned around
