Disclaimer:Card Captor Sakura is CLAMP's, so yeah.

Woo hoo! Another story idea!! Actually, I had a dream once last summer that started this idea, but I never acted on it—I did write it down though, you know, just in case. So yeah, a total different style from Divine Strength but hey. This one might take longer for updates and everything considering my main priority is Divine Strength and I only had ONE dream based on this idea so yeah; I'm going with the flow! Enjoy!

Update (7/11)- Well, fixed the little mistakes that PaCT pointed out to me (Thank you very much by the way, PaCT). So, nothing much of a difference, but enjoy!

"Syaoran! Hey, wait up for me!" I called out, as I grabbed my backpack.

I am Sakura Kinomoto. Sixteen, slightly short, alright build, and the best of buddies with Tomoyo Daidouji, who happens to be my second cousin, and my guy friends, Syaoran Li, who came from Hong Kong, and Eriol Hiiragizawa, who Tomoyo is smashingly in love with apparently. We've been friends ever since Eriol and Syaoran transferred—well almost. Syaoran was too stubborn so long ago!! He still is actually, but he's more laidback.

"Hey, birthday girl, you gotta start waking up early, "commented a low, gruff, but soothing voice as I approach him, Syaoran Li. He ruffled my hair.

That's right! Today's my birthday, so I'm going to be seventeen! No wonder I'm feeling so bubbly today!

Still….

I humph-ed in his direction, "Not my fault! Mou, the alarm clocks don't work sometimes you know!" Yes, sadly, I'm not a morning person like the person right next to me; everyone in the world seems to know it too! It's so unfair….

I let Syaoran slide with all his comments, I always do. That's because I have a crush on him….. As well as half the girl student body at our school. I don't want to ruin want we have now though, so being the best of friends is for the best, you know?

I know what you're thinking; it's gonna be one of those stories where both Syaoran and I fall desperately in love and everything… but not going to happen. I mean seriously, I think I'm just crushing on him because I've hanged around him for so long, it seems inevitable.

Back in grade school- or was it the first year of middle school? - I had this teensy, weensy, uber small crush on Eriol. Shh! Don't tell anyone; I didn't even tell Tomoyo! You know how Eriol acts like all gentlemanly and everything, I mean he makes you think like you're the most important girl in the world! Who wouldn't think about being hooked up to him?

Okay, off topic! Bringing back to the real matter… my crush! I won't act on it; it could die out on its own so I'll just leave it be.

Nothing is going to change that.

Sakura was always the lively one. Even now, though she was reprimanding me for teasing her- as always.

Syaoran Li here. Yeah, I know. The Syaoran Li?! Heir to the Li Clan's hierarchy and everything; I get it- but I don't want it—Okay, so having power is a little tempting, but what about friends? Love?

A guy thinking about romance? Such a sissy would be what I would comment…

Except, I'm that guy.

Maybe it was because I met Sakura so many years back and had to deal with upbeat, always happy attitude. I think she's grown on me… a lot. Okay, so maybe I like my best friend.

I shook my head; I didn't want to think about this right now, it's too complicated. I turned my head toward Sakura's much smaller stature, and ruffled her hair a bit. Her soft, amber brown, past shoulder length hair- she's been growing it out of her elementary shoulder bob.

So, my thoughts turned back to that. What if she doesn't like me like that? We've been best friends (almost) since we've met each other… Friendship or risk rejection? Of course, I rather keep what we have now then risk anything just for one chance for her heart.

But, I'm seventeen, a guy, and a guy with raging hormones. So that might be a little hard to resist. I will do this though. For the sake of our friendship.

I kept repeating that in my head over and over; I seriously didn't want to end this. Then again, the thought just wouldn't leave me alone today… Was it because of Sakura's birthday? I had this awesome gift- a surprise birthday party just for her and the crew.

We were silently walking to school- her house wasn't far from it. I glanced to side at her; hair framing her delicate face, emerald green- my favorite color, by the way- eyes sparkling and wide with a tinge of excitement, hands clasped in front of her face. I didn't know what she was thinking, but she had this cute, pensive look on her face like today is the best day of her life.

I heard the little voice in my head think; Maybe it will be more so, if someone just told her his feelings.

Resisting, resisting, resisting.

I was resisting, that is, until a huge black hole opened in front of us and sucked both Sakura and me in.

Honestly, today seemed the worst- and after all that sunshine too.

Then, I wasn't thinking at all.

So, everything is a little touch-here-go-there. I think it's just harder writing first point of views because you got to capture the thoughts and essence of the person… Well, I'm doing two. It makes it more fun that way I suppose and a challenge for me!! Maybe later one I'll revised it or whatever. Hopefully, I didn't make Syaoran a bit girly in his thoughts...

Tell me what you think!
