Summary: Sakura Kinomoto is sent to a boarding school for the rich and famous….to bad she isn't any of the two.
She's a klutz, a nerd with large rimmed glasses and don't forget her ordinary lifestyle (Though she has no problem with it).
That is, until she met the school heartthrob/all round prince, Li Syaoran….Life just got a whole lot more interesting.
"Mommy…are you going to be okay?" asked a little girl, as she looked worriedly at her mother laying on the hospital bed.
The woman coughed and said in a weak voice, "I'll be fine, my Cherry Blossom…"
"Touya, take your sister o-outside," the man said, his own voice shaky.
"Yes, dad. Come on Sakura."
The little girl shook her head and said, "Nu-uh…I want to stay with mommy."
The boy sighed and said, "Come on, mom needs to rest and she can't do that with you here."
"B-but I want to stay with mommy!" The little girl argued.
"Sakura," the man said looking at his daughter sternly.
The little girl sighed in defeat and said, "Hai…"
"No…let her stay here…I want my Cherry Blossom here with me," the woman said as she made herself sit up.
The little girl rushed to her mother's side and climbed onto the bed to lay next to her.
"Come here…Touya," the woman said softly.
The little boy could only comply with his mother's wish and followed his sister's example.
The little girl fell asleep and so did her mother, Touya climbed off the bed and sat next to his father on one of the armchairs.
-The next morning-
"Mommy…wake up…it's time for breakfast," The little girl said softly as she shook her mother.
The woman didn't move…
"Mommy! Wake up!!"
Still nothing...
"MOMMY!!"
All the shouting woke the little boy and their father and they too were trying to wake the woman up.
The beeping of the machine was slowing gradually and soon the beeping machine just came to a stop and the room went silent.
"MOMMMY!!"
Sakura sat up quickly, sweat all over her face and forehead. She panted and looked around the room. It was still so dark…it looked so cold and unwelcoming…She glanced at her alarm clock, big red numbers showed 02:55am. Sakura groaned and rubbed her head.
'Why…why must I be forever dreaming about her death? It's been almost eight years and still I continue to dream about it…' She thought as she stared up at the bedroom ceiling.
'I better go back to sleep…I'm leaving tomorrow…' Sakura thought trying to clear her thoughts and go to sleep, which by the way was really hard considering the fact that the dogs were howling and barking. She groaned and thought, 'Today is not going to be fun.'

"Sakura…honey wake up," a soft voice said shaking her shoulder.
The girl groaned and said, "No…go away."
"Come on honey, don't you want to get to your new boarding school?"
"No…"
"Now, don't make me bring out the water bucket," the voice said in a happy tone that it was almost scary.
Sakura's eyes opened instantly and said, "You wouldn't…"
"Oh yes, I would," the voice said, still as happy as ever.
Sakura immediately jumped up and said, "No really dad, I'm perfectly fine!"
The man just smiled and said, "Good, now take your bath and get ready."
She sighed and said, "Yes dad."
"But first, where is the school anyway?"
You know, strangely she didn't know, her dad wanted to keep it for a 'surprise' or maybe to hide the fact that it just so many miles away.
"Now, you know very well that it's a surprise."
"I know, but just give me a hint…please?"
Her dad shook his head and said, "Not a chance, now go get ready." He stood up and left to get out of her room.
Sakura sighed again and walked over to her closet to get the things she needed, she grabbed her torn knee jeans and a white tank top with a pink jacket as well as her normal shoes as well as her black rimmed glasses.
"I just know today is going to suck...after all I'm going to school!"She said as she walked out of her room and into the bathroom.
-Twenty minutes later-
"Hey monster! Hurry up!"
Sakura ran down the stairs, bags, and books and cat in hand, or in the cat's case, head.
'Of all the nicknames he could have picked, he had to pick monster!' She thought to herself with a frown.
"I am not a monster, Touya!" Sakura said grabbing a piece of toast off the plate next to the fryer. While the yellow cat purred and looked longingly at the pudding Touya was eating. "No, Kero-kun. Sugar is bad for a kitty," Sakura said noticing the look on her cat's eyes when he jumped in front of her.
Touya ignored her and her cat and said, "So are you ready to go to Girls' boarding school?"
She rolled her eyes and said, "Dad said, I'm not going to all girls boarding school." Yes, she knew just that…great don't you think?
Their dad came downstairs, brochures, folders and other books in hand. Sakura was about to grab the brochure when her dad just shook his head and said, "I'll give it to you, when we reach the school, okay?" Sakura sighed, pouted and said, "Yes, daddy."
"Hey, dad? Where's the boarding school anyway?" Touya asked as he tried to take a peek at the brochure that was under his father's arm.
"You don't need to worry, it's a good school. A friend recommended it and also helped in getting Sakura in."
"Hmm, I think I'll come with," Touya said taking off the white apron he had on.
-0- - -0-
"HOW THE HECK?!" Sakura shouted inside the car when she saw the brochure making Kero jerk away from Sakura and jumped on Touya's head.
"Dad, how on Earth did you pay for this school? It's so-so-so expensive!"Sakura said when she saw the payment per term.
"Now, calm down Sakura. A friend of mine helped out and agreed to pay for half of your fees, besides your scholarship is enough to pay for it anyway. Sakura frowned and said, "Dad, I don't think you'll be able to pay half of the school fees! I mean you're still paying for Touya's and feeding us with your teacher's salary! How are you going to handle?"
"Now, Sakura, I know that it is a lot, but trust me. You'll get a better education and besides, Touya is working too, so I don't need to pay for everything."
She sighed and leaned back against the car seat and placed the brochure down next to her.
The picture showed a large white building more than fifteen stories tall. Two lanes of other buildings on both sides, on one side was the girl's dorm and the other side was the boy's dorm.
Beautiful scenery was what got Sakura wondering how much the landscaping could have cost and then she looked at the classes list, it was a hell of a lot! Heck, she didn't even know half of the classes!
And then she saw the intuition…
Really, today is not a good day…

"Well, this is your stop…" her father said, his voice trailing.
"Yeah…"
"Look at you…all grown up now, going to be the best. Your mom would be so proud."
"Slow down, dad."
The man chuckled and hugged her.
"If there's a problem or you want to go home, we're just a phone call away, okay?"
"Yeah…bye dad," Sakura said, hugging him tightly.
Touya put her bags down in front of her, where some guy wearing a bell boy outfit took it somewhere…
Touya blinked and said, "Why couldn't that guy have done that sooner?"
Sakura smiled and hugged Touya too.
"Hey, be a good little monster, okay?"
That earned him a good kick in the shins.
She waved goodbye to her dad, Kero and her brother and walked into the large pearly gates.
Sakura looked around, and she thought the picture on the brochure was cool! There was a fountain in the middle of the large open area, where students were sitting or just hanging out.
She looked down at her piece of paper and read it softly to herself, "Girls' meeting at 6pm sharp at the girls' dorm." She sighed and looked around and found no one nice enough to give her a friendly wave or smile.
She wanted to beat her head against a tree or at least the lamp post. But then again the tree did nothing to her and the lamp post could possibly injure her so she didn't.
"Hey, are you new?" She blinked and looked where the voice came from and saw a girl her age, dark amethyst eyes and jet black hair in a simple ponytail. "Hi, I'm Tomoyo…OMG SAKURA-CHAN!!"
"Huh? OMG TOMOYO!" The two girls hugged.
"Omigosh, what are you doing here, Saku-chan?" Tomoyo asked.
"My dad got me into the school along with a friend…I had no idea you were schooling here!"
"So cousin, need a tour then?"
Sakura nodded and said, "Yeah, this place is huge!"
"I'll help you, if…you wear one of my kawaii dresses for me!"She said excitedly, stars in her amethyst eyes. Sakura sweat dropped and said, " Still the same as always I see."
"You know it! And the dresses are better! Longer, sexier and a lot more beautiful! They'll look even better when you where them!"
"HOE?!"
The two walked around the campus and waved to some friends of Tomoyo. "So Sakura-chan, what room number do you have?"
Sakura blinked and looked down at her piece of paper and said, "Room 167, how about you, Tomoyo-chan?"
"Ohh no…" She muttered softly, but hid it with a small smile and said, "168, nice to meet you neighbor!"

"So see any guys you like?" Tomoyo asked causally as they made their way towards the girls' dorm. Sakura shook her head and said, "Sorry, Tomoyo-chan, but I'm just here to study not find love." Tomoyo shook her head too and said, "No, no dear Sakura-chan! In this school no one looks for love…only a soul mate!"
The amethyst eyed girl continued to talk and said, "The beauty of love…finding your soul mate sounds soo romantic!" Sakura merely smiled and said, "It is, isn't it?" Tomoyo just giggled and said, "Finally getting your happy ever after sounds so romantic!" Sakura pushed her glasses up and said, "Tomoyo-chan…shouldn't we get going now? It's almost six and I haven't even unpacked yet!"
Tomoyo nodded and said, "Wait, I want to say hi to someone, real quick."
Sakura nodded and followed the amethyst eyed girl.
They walked to the boys' dorm and Sakura blinked. "Umm why are we here, Tomoyo-chan?" She looked around and said, "I'm just going to say hi to someone real quick. Then I'll show your dorm." Sakura was standing awkwardly next to Tomoyo as she continued to search through the male species. "Aha! There he is!" Sakura followed Tomoyo's gaze. A boy with midnight blue hair and glasses stood on the porch talking to another boy with dark chestnut hair and a book.
"Eriol-kun!!" Tomoyo shouted waving wildly at him.
The blue haired boy shook his head at the other boy and waved at Tomoyo.
She grinned and said, "Okay, now we can go." Sakura nodded and pushed her glasses up again. "Hey Tomoyo, who is that guy?" Tomoyo looked down blushing and faked a cough. Sakura grinned and said softly so only Tomoyo would hear, "Tomoyo and Eriol, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, and then comes a baby in a golden carriage."
Tomoyo blushed even more and wailed, "SAKURA!!"

Syaoran had woke with a loud yawn. He looked around his room with a frown; pictures of an unknown girl littered his desk and were on his bedside. He glanced at it and frowned some more. The girl had auburn hair cut slightly short and beautiful emerald green eyes, it wasn't that she was ugly or anything it was mainly because he'd been drawing her for the past three months and he often pondered if the girl even existed.
He sat up and rubbed his eyes, loud shouts came from outside his room.
"WHERE'S MY SYAORAN?!"
"HE'S MINE!!"
"NO GET AWAY FROM ME! HE ISN'T HERE!!"
"LIAR!!"
Syaoran groaned and picked up all the pictures of the girl and hid them safely.
He walked over to his closet and grabbed a white polo shirt and a pair of jeans and then walked over to his bathroom.
…
…
…
…
-Rush—
"OMIGOSH LET US IN!! HE'S TAKING A SHOWER!!"
"OMIGOSH HE PROBABLY SHOWERS…NAKED!!"
-Squeal—
"LET US IN!!"
Syaoran frowned switched off the faucet and grabbed a towel. He wrapped it around his waist and started put on his clothes.
"NOOO HE'S FINISHED!!"
"MAYBE HE'S STILL NAKED!!"
"LET US IN!!"
Syaoran frowned some more and said, "Guess I'm taking the window….again."

After he grabbed some breakfast i.e. instant porridge and burnt to the crisp toast.
"Hey Syaoran we're going to play soccer. Want in?" Eriol asked Syaoran in the kitchen.
"No…stupid girls always interrupting the game," He grumbled as he continued to eat his toast.
Eriol frowned and said, "Stop sulking, cousin. Or I'll tell Meiling you want a girlfriend."
Syaoran nearly choked and said, "You wouldn't dare, Eriol."
The blue haired teen just gave a mysterious smile and said, "You know I will."
"…fine," Syaoran muttered sinking into his seat.
"What did I say? No more sulking," Eriol said with a grin, enjoying torturing his cousin.
Syaoran glared and said, "Eriol, you better enjoy this while you're alive."
"Oh I will and I will live for a very long time."
…
…
…
…
…
"GET THE BALL SYAORAN!" Eriol shouted.
"I got it!" Syaoran shouted back dodging the other team.
He was right in front of the goal post, it was only Syaoran and the goalkeeper, and he was just about to score when…
"ERIOL YOU'RE SO HOT!!"
"SYAORAN YOU ARE SOO COOL!!"
"WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!"
Every guy on the soccer field groaned as Syaoran and Eriol's fangirls bombarded the game.
"AHH! ERIOL RUN!!" Syaoran shouted running for his life.
"YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL ME TWICE!!" Eriol shouted running past Syaoran.
-0- - -0-
After the running, screaming and evading Syaoran and Eriol were safe…
They were both by their dorm, outside on the porch. Syaoran was sitting on the ground book in hand. Eriol was standing near one of the columns; it somehow shielded him from the sun and any fangirls still looking for him.
"This sucks, why'd you drag me out here?" Syaoran asked annoyed.
Eriol rolled his eyes and said, "To get some fresh air."
Syaoran only frowned and continued to read the book.
Eriol looked around where he was as if searching for something. "Eriol, what the heck are you doing?"
Eriol straightened up and said, "Nothing, little cousin."
Syaoran glared and said, "Stop calling me that."
There came a shout, "Eriol-kun!!" Eriol shook his head at his cousin and waved when he saw who the shout belonged to.
Syaoran followed his gaze and smirked.
"What are you smirking about?" Eriol said looking at the other teen on the ground. Syaoran smirked and said, "Eriol and Tomoyo sitting in a tree. M-A-K-I-N-G B-A-B-I-E -"
"Syaoran!"
"SAKURA!!"
Eriol and Syaoran looked up to see a laughing girl next to Tomoyo that sort of reminded Syaoran of the girl he drew...minus the glasses.
Tomoyo was beet red while the other girl giggled and patted her on the back.
"Hey dudes, I'll get rid of them for you!" a random guy said aiming a football at the girl with the auburn hair.
"Wait no," Eriol said, but it was too late, the ball went flying, aiming directly at the other girl.
-0- - -0-
Sakura noticed something coming at her and guess what! She caught it!
Since she was the only girl at her house she sort of got use to catching things, mainly because at school people would through things at her.
"Wow…nice catch Saku-chan!" Tomoyo said with a grin, the blush fading.
"Hmm who threw this?" Sakura asked looking around to find three guys staring at them, mouths a gap, eyes bulging and facial expression…priceless.
Tomoyo shrugged and said, "Give it back to them, since they're the ones that threw it." Sakura grinned and threw it, with great accuracy.
The random guy that threw it fell to the ground when the ball made contact with his chest.
The guy with chestnut colored hair doubled over laughing while Eriol smiled mysteriously, making Tomoyo blush a little.
"Come on, let's get to the dorm!" Sakura said as she turned to smile cheerfully at Tomoyo. The amethyst eyed teen smiled and said, "Right, oh and you have to wear a dress!"
Sakura blinked and said, "Hoe?!"
-0- - -0-
"Tomoyo-chan, is this really necessary for me to wear this, dress?" Sakura asked twitching when she saw herself in the mirror.
"You look so KAWAII!! I bet every guy that sees you tonight will fall madly in love with you!" Tomoyo said turning Sakura around and taking pictures of her.
"WHAT? I thought it was a girls' meeting! And why'd I have to change here?" Sakura asked referring to Tomoyo's dorm room.
Tomoyo pouted and said, "Don't you like my room?" Sakura panicked and said, "Of course I love your room, Tomoyo-chan, but…I have my own room you know."
"I know, but I won't be able to dress you in your room!" Tomoyo said with a grin.
"Okay, but I thought it was a girls' meeting…"
"Oh, it is, but the guys are always there," Tomoyo said, fixing the strap of Sakura's dress. "but don't worry, it's only the soccer team that comes."
"How come?"
"Oh it's Miss I'm-too-rich-to-allow-other-non hot-teams-to-sorority-meetings," Tomoyo said.
"Aren't the other teams hot too?"
"Well, the soccer team has the hottest guys since the guys only injure their knee or ankle. The football team has pretty decent guys, but they have a lot of injuries and aren't that smart either. The swim teams are okay looking, but they smell like chorine and for some reason always wear Speedos. The tennis team is…well they're hot, but always carry around a tennis racket or ball, good point is they're dedicated," Tomoyo said as if it were implanted in her brain.
Sakura blinked. "How do you know all this?"
Tomoyo walked over to her desk and gestured Sakura to come over. Tomoyo sat on the chair while Sakura stood next to her; she turned on her laptop and clinked the Internet Explorer and typed down the URL. (www (dot) hotornot (dot) ta)
A picture of the school appeared and then links. "Okay, this link shows all the girls in the school. Their photo and then their bio, other people in the school vote if they think the person is hot or not, same thing with the boys. This link shows all the sports teams in the school plus their captains and school record, other schools and students vote if the team and their players are hot or not, same thing with clubs. This is the link shows all the teachers, their most embarrassing moment in class and their most achieved moment in this school, the students comment, but anonymously so we can say what we want about them. And finally, the fairest of them all, this is the major voting; it's bigger then voting for school president! The king and queen will be crowned at the end of the year at homecoming."
"Wow…who knew the internet played such a big role in this school!" Sakura said staring at the screen.
"Yep, hey want to see where you are in the school rating list?" Tomoyo asked just about to click the student search button. "No…where are you on the list?" Sakura asked.
"Well, let's see…" Tomoyo clicked the student search button and typed down her first name and surname then enter. The screen popped up and a picture of Tomoyo showed up in her school uniform, at the bottom of her picture was a bold number 19.
"Number nineteen! Wow Tomoyo, I didn't know that you were so popular!"
Tomoyo giggled and said, "I'm not that popular, everybody just judges if you look good in the picture and how you act towards them."
"Wait, if you're number nineteen…whose number one?"
"You would be if you stopped wearing those stupid fake glasses," Tomoyo said clicking the link for fairest of them all.
Sakura sighed and said, "Tomoyo-chan, I came here to study, not to find love or a soul mate."
The page had finished loading and a picture of a girl with jade eyes and bleach blonde hair appeared, she was wearing a sparkly blue dress that revealed more skin then it was supposed to.
"Wow…who's that?" Sakura asked.
"That, dear Sakura-chan. Is Hinaba Ayaka, fairest of them all since freshmen year."
The guy picture finished loading and a picture of a boy with intense amber eyes and chestnut hair appeared, wearing his school uniformed with the tie loose.
"A-and who's that?" Sakura said, finding herself stuttering.
"That is, Li Syaoran. Fairest of them all since…he entered the school."
Danity: How was it?
I mainly got the idea from Sydney White and Cinderella Story.
