Chapter 1

An Injury to Die For

It's been 2 years since I've set my eyes on a certain guy in my university. His life has changed drastically over the years, from a cheerful, sweet guy to an emotionless cold person. Right after he broke up with his girlfriend, he was a faithful one and everyone admitted it. Everyone knew that it was the Victoria's problem; she was cheating on him. It's been a year already, and still he hasn't gotten over her and move on. It pains me to see him this way, but I'm merely just a university girl without the looks. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hey Sakura!" yelled Michelle as she ran frantically towards me. "G-ggu-ess whh-aat's go-ing on in the gym??" Sakura chuckled at her enthusiasm, "Hold you horses and catch your breath gal, I can't hear a word uttering out of you! Breath!" Michelle took a several deep breaths, "Yeah, sure I'm breathing but I don't think you will once you hear the news I'm going to tell you!" she smirked, " in fact I think your heart rate will go up to 250 beats per minute after you step in that gym!" "Well, what is it? Spill." Sakura demanded. "Well your prince charming is on a one on one basketball game with guy from another university." With that Sakura's heart beat rate went up and a tinge of red appeared on her cheeks. Michelle smiled, "Are you just going to sit here or what?? Get up lazy bum!" Sakura snapped out of her trance and bolted up "H-hai" she uttered. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The gym was filled with people and cheers could be heard all the way down the hall. Sakura rushed into the gym and pushed herself through the crowd to get a glimpse of him. Sweat dripped down from his eye and glistened as the lights beamed down at him. His messy brown hair covered his dark amber eyes and hid his ambition. He concentrated on his opponent's moves with the basketball bouncing firmly in his hand. His challenger had sandy blonde hair with light complexion. The brown-haired boy looked intensely into his hazel green eyes. Time was ticking by slowly as the score was a tie of 29- 29. "Hey come on, move it dude! Whip him Derek!" yelled one of the spectators among the crowd. Derek looked at the direction of the crowd and a rush of wind brush past him as his opponent headed for the hoop. Derek sped across the gym and caught up with him, he jumped as high as he could to slap the ball off its course, but missed by an inch. The basketball soared through the air with a perfect arch and went through the hoop just as the buzzer went off. Momentarily the crowd was silent and then a roar applause broke rang through the gym. "This year's Breaker One on One basketball tournament winner is the representative of Kensington University with a stunning 3 point shot at the last 10 seconds and ended the game with a total score of 32-29! Please welcome our 3 time champion Syaoran Li!" The boy walked up to the announcer and bowed as he received his 3rd medal and trophy. As he turned around and extend his arm holding the trophy, the crowd cheer and screams could be heard from the girl fans in the crowd.

Sakura smiled, she was happy. For him. Inside she was already doing the victory dance as her heart beat the rhythm and her insides did the somersaults. Syaoran walked over and shook his coach and teammate's hand as they congratulated him. Just then a guy passed him a water bottle and a towel to wipe off his sweat. Syaoran looked at the crowd briefly and realized that most of the school gathered here to watch the game, and most of them were from the female population. They all rushed over to him and unwillingly pushed Sakura along as well. Sakura was then surrounded the girls screaming out Syaoran's name. She covered her ears and tried to walk the opposite direction but lost her balance and headed right for the refreshment table. A splash followed by a thud was heard, but the girls paid no attention to what so ever fell on the side.

Syaoran saw what happened and pushed his way through his fans to see if the girl was all right. He pushed through the crowded and knelt down at a honey- brown hair girl who was soaked form head to toe with an orange liquid. "Are you alright, miss?" asked Syaoran as he helped the girl up. "Yes, I'm fine thank you" a sweet voice answered. Their eyes came into contact as large pools of emerald eyes emerged from the wet brown hair. Syaoran's heart skipped a beat 'wow' he thought, 'what beautiful eyes.' Sakura realized who is was and was quite embarrassed at the state she was in. "U-um.T-thank you Li san, you can let go of me now" Syaoran snapped out of his trance and came back to reality, "Oh, Sorry." He apologized and reluctantly let go of the girl. Sakura thanked him and turned her flushed face around and walked. A surge of pain pierced through her leg and yelped as she collapsed ready to hit the hard ground again. But she didn't. A pair of strong arms enfolded her supporting her weight. Sakura turned around and saw those amber eyes again; only this time they were gentle and showed care and concern. "Are you ok?" he asked. "Yes" she managed to say as she tried to move away from him, but another shot of pain ran through her and she winced. "I think I twisted my ankle." Sakura whispered as she held onto his arm for support. She gazed at his eyes again and then looked down. Syaoran turned around and said "Tom, could you carry my bag into the change room, I'll come back and pick it up later." Suddenly, Sakura felt an arm wrapped around her waist and under her knees and them lifted into the air. Automatically her hands encircled his neck and laid her head against his strong chest. 'Gosh, she's as light as a feather' Syaoran thought. He turned around and said "Would you please move out of the way so I can get her to the medical office?" Said Syaoran emotionlessly to the girls. Slowly, the crowded parted way. Sakura looked up at her crush and them to the crowd, the girls were certainly not pleased and some of them smirked at her. She kept her glance on the ground as Syaoran carried her out the gym to the medical office. They walked in silence down the hall to the office, Sakura wished this moment would last for all eternity, to be in his arms and hear the steady yet strong beating of his heart. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As Syaoran got to the medical office, he settled the girl down onto the bed. "I'll go get the nurse." He said and walked out of the room. Sakura nodded and then studied the room. Memories of her elementary school and childhood friends flooded her mind. She had her cousin and her best friend in Japan back then, before she came here as a foreign exchange student under her father's will. She remembered how she ended up in the medical room once because she had a fever and fainted in the middle of her physical education class. Luckily, her cousin and her best friend accompanied her to the medical room and stayed with her till her uncle came and picked her up. Not only that, they came to visit her everyday after school for the whole week until she got better. They great friends; all true to each other and stuck together since kindergarten. They were more than just friends, but were sisters to her. "Tomoyo, Meiling" Sakura whispered as a stray tear fell down her cheek. She had missed them so much over the past 7 years, life here was so lonely and uneventful. True, she had made news friends who cared for her like Michelle, Vicky, and Tanya; but Sakura still felt out of place with out them around. If it weren't for her father who forced her to enroll a foreign school she would've never leave Japan.

Footsteps could be heard and she quickly wiped her tears away. Syaoran came back with his bag and a slender woman in her late thirties carrying a first aid kit. The woman knelt in front of Sakura and carefully examined her foot. "You twisted your ankle pretty badly, what happened?" the nurse asked. "I lost my balance and twisted it while falling on to the refreshment table." Sakura replied and stole a glance at Syaoran and then looked at the nurse. "Well, I guess you're in for a 1 week until your foot gets better." She said, "Try not to put too much pressure on it and don't push yourself too hard cause it'll only make things worse, ask for help when you need it ok?" The nursed said in a motherly tone as she expertly bandaged Sakura feet. "There, now be sure not to get it wet when you bathe alright? Do you have a ride home?" The woman inquired. Sakura shook her head. "Have you phoned your parents so they cam come and pick you up?" She asked again. " My parents are in Japan, I'm a foreign exchange student and I live alone with my guardian, but she doesn't know how to drive." (Now doesn't that sound familiar, does it bring back the old memories of Syaoran being the exchange student from China? *winkies*) "Oh, well is there any way you can arrange someone take you home? You certainly can't walk home at this state," The nurse stated as a matter of factly. Sakura was speechless, how on earth was she going to get home? "HHOEE! This is definitely not my day' her mind screamed. "Well I can always call a taxi and." "I have a car, I can take her home" Syaoran offered and cut of Sakura's remark. Sakura was bewildered to find that Syaoran hadn't left. "Great! I was hoping you could help me cause I have to pick up my son" The nurse smiled briefly at Syaoran. "I must get going now, see you both tomorrow!" and then she left. The room became quiet and then Syaoran spoke, "I'll go get my car and then come back and get you ok?" Sakura nodded and avoid eye contact. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Soon Syaoran came in with a huge blue sweater and tossed it to Sakura. "Wear it," he said, "it's windy outside and your clothes are wet." Sakura obediently wore the sweater and was once again carried by strong arms. Outside the roadway parked a black sports car; Syaoran placed Sakura on the passenger seat and ran back into the office to get the crutches that the nurse had left her. "Thanks" replied Sakura. "No problem" was all he said as he got into his car. Silence filled the whole car as they drive out of the parking lot and on to the road. "So where do you live?" suddenly asked Syaoran. This caused Sakura to snap back from her thoughts to reality "Oh, make a left turn here and stop at the first pale yellow house you see" said Sakura. "Thanks for the ride, I appreciate it dearly" Said Sakura as she got off the car using the crutches.

As Sakura headed for the door, Syaoran lowered his car window and yelled, "Hey, what time do you usually go to school?" "I usually wake up at 7 and get to school by 8, why?" inquired Sakura. "Get yourself ready by 7:45, I'm picking you up by 7:50." With that he drove out of the driveway and sped off. 'Some guy, to think that he's as cold as everyone says he is' Sakura thought's were interrupted when Amy came running down the stairs. " Mistress you're home! Oh my goodness what happened honey? Did you fall and hurt yourself? Goodness, look at you! You're soaking wet! Hurry and get changed or else you're going to get sick!" wailed Amy as she ushered Sakura up the stairs. "Yes, I'm fine I just twisted my ankle while walking today" Sakura replied when she got into her room and sat on her bed. "Goodness, you're alright child, or else what am I going to say to your father?" Amy laughed and walk toward the door, "I'll go make you some dinner, what would you like to eat tonight?" "Pasta would be fine thank you" Said Sakura. "Ok, pasta coming right up!" replied the middle-aged woman as she closed the door.

Sakura sighed and flopped on her bed, today has been one hectic day not to mention her little scene in the gym. Her face suddenly burned up as her thought trailed back to a certain amber-eyed boy. But quickly shook it off and limped to the bathroom to take a shower. The smell of sandalwood made it's way to her nose as she took the sweater off and stripped down her soaked T-shirt and jeans. 'Get yourself ready by 7:45, I'm picking you up by 7:50' those words kept echoing through her mind as she stepped into the steam-filled shower room and let the warm water beat down on her aching muscles and her matted hair. 'Why is he so cold and emotionless?' thought Sakura 'but he is compassionate, his eyes did soften when he helped me up. Those amber eyes.' Sakura wore a light pink fluffy robe and dried her hair with a light blue towel as she came out of the shower. The aroma of mouthwatering pasta filled her room as she came out of the bathroom and set her eyes upon the steaming food. Hunger soon took hold of her and Sakura finished the whole plate in a matter of minutes.

She placed the tray aside and got out her English homework and read over the notes given by the teacher. Sakura tried to focus on her work but her mind kept replaying the scene of Syaoran carrying her to the medical office. Suddenly an image of Syaoran playing basketball appeared on her papers, "Ah! Forget all this" muttered Sakura, "I can't even concentrate, what's the point." She sat on her bed making sure injured foot was in a comfortable position and opened her side drawer where she kept a small yellow album. She flipped through the album slowly as memories of her hometown and friends emerged from each picture. She smiled when she came across the picture of Tomoyo, Meiling and herself laughing as they threw snowballs at each other. Christmas was one of the best times of the year and Sakura enjoyed being around her friends during the holidays. But now, all the fun was taken away from her when she came here to study. Sleep slowly made its way to her and Sakura drifted off into a deep sleep dreaming about the happy times she spent with her friends.
