Disclaimer- I don't own CCS or the characters. But I do own a few random ones (of course I'll point 'em out to ya.

Prologue

Dear Diary,

It's a new year for me and to tell you the truth, I'm scared out of my mind! Anyone would be if they were a first year student at a distinguished academy such as this; CrestwoodAcademy.  I'm surprised I even got in. You basically have to be an "A" student to be accepted, and then there are the intense interviews along with rough entrance exams! Ms. Mizuki, my "mom" for the time I spend here assures me that it's all worth it. I hope she's right, because if I have to wear a hideous uniform at a school I hate, you can bet I'm going straight back home to Tomoeda!

Until Later,

                  Sakura

Sakura's P.O.V

I stepped off the bus and in-front of me was a huge brick school filled with young girls like me no doubt! Funny how it seems a lot bigger without my father with me.  The lawn was perfectly together with its rainbow of flowers around the school and by the trees. Along with green grass as emerald as my eyes.

"Well here I go" I thought heading toward the doors of the school. Opening the door, a wave of commotion and confusion flooded my ears. Each way I turned there was a young girl trying to get by. "I don't think I can do this." I whispered to myself.

"Sure you can." A soft voice chimed. Turning around I saw a woman with reddish-brown hair. It was…

"Ms. Misuki?" I said in surprise.

"Hello Miss Kinomoto. Finding everything well?" She asks with a smile. She seem like a very happy woman from the moment I met her. Whoever chose her as the mother figure for us girls sure has good taste. Of course I wouldn't know what a normal mother would be like since mine died when I was young, but I always picture her warm, friendly and caring; just like Ms. Mizuki.

"Everything's going okay I suppose. There sure are a lot of girls here."

She put her hand on my shoulder and smiled. "I know it's intimidating, but you'll love it. I know you will." She whispered.

Ms Mizuki walked me to the main office so I could get a key for my room. I never thought boarding schools gave out keys to there students. But they say if we loose them, we don't get another one unless we pay another three dollars. I guess I should either keep up with my key (which I find impossible), or have three dollars stashed somewhere…

Dear Kitty,

It's a fresh beginning at C.W.A. It's sad because I'm going to miss all my friends who aren't coming back. I'll miss the old seniors the most. They were good people. I hope they're doing well in college. I am fearful of these new ladies coming, especially my roommates. Not because I think they might be bad people, but I'm scared to see their reaction if they find out my secret.  Hopefully no one will find out. But still Kitty, people react in different ways, and if they find out, the whole academy might find out too. And the last thing I want is another disaster happening like at my other school. I hope things will work out.

Sincerely Yours,

                       Tomoyo Daidoji

Tomoyo's P.O.V

I closed my lavender-colored diary and locked it, storing it in my secret place; in my pillowcase.  No one has found it yet, so it's obviously a good place to hide it. I would really hate it if someone discovered it and read it. My life as a Daidoji would be finished. I'd ruin my family name and be a disgrace even though I already am. But no one knows it. I guess luck is on my side for the time being.

I sighed deeply sitting on my bed, the only place I can collect my thoughts and be myself. As for anywhere else, I must hide behind a mask until I'm ready to be myself in-front of others and accept myself. Until then, no one knows the true me.

A few moments after I rest my eyes I hear a knock at my door.  "Must be one of my roommates." I think to myself. "Here we go…"   I think opening the door.

Looking up, I see Ms. Mizuki and another girl. Her eyes are a pure emerald green; the greenest I've ever seen. She also had long locks of auburn hair with pink lips that helped her eyes give her the nervous look she had. Even if she looked nervous, she was still very pretty.

"Hello Tomoyo." Ms. Mizuki greeted as I invited her in. "This is one of your new roommates Sakura Kinomoto. She's new to Crestwood."

I looked at the girl- Sakura as she managed to stick out her hand to shake mine. I gave her my hand greeting her with a smile. She seems nice, and she seems like she just wants to make friends which is okay with me.

Ms. Mizuki smiled and headed toward the door. "I'll leave you two alone then." She then left.

The Kinomoto girl and I sat in silence for a few moments before she walked over to one of the beds. "Should I put my things here then?"

"Sure." I smiled. "Anywhere you want.  Should I help you put your things away?" I ask.

"No I got it. Thanks though."

I nodded going back to my bed to read my favorite book, Gone With The Wind.  It's only my 5th time reading it. It's such a great book.

Sakura's P.O.V

Unpacking, I glanced at Tomoyo as she read her book. It seemed pretty thick. I wonder if everyone reads thick books like that here. It would make since. I don't know if I could fit-in in a place like this. Maybe I can and I'm just being paranoid- but, who knows.

After A while I finished unpacking and making my corner of the room my own, Tomoyo was still reading her book. "I wonder what book it is." I thought to myself. I won't know until I ask, and I do need to get to know her. She seems like a nice girl, but what if she's really mean?  There I got being paranoid again, but who can blame me right?

Taking a deep breath I start to talk to her. "So Tomoyo." I start. "Gee I hope that's her name" I think to myself nervous. "What book are you reading?"

She stopped reading and put the book down. "Gone With the Wind." She replied simply.

"Wow, I heard it was really long." I replied in awe. "Is it good?"

I guess she sensed I was nervous because she smiled and replied, "It's only my favorite book."

"I see."

She got up and came over to me with here jet-black hair following her. It was long and wavy.  She also had beautiful amethyst eyes that sparkled like a fairy princess in the movies (they're so pretty).

"You want to borrow it?" she asked.

"Oh no, I couldn't!"

"It's okay." She giggled. "I've read it five times. I can wait."

Hesitating, I took the book. I guess if I want to fit in at this school, I should start now. I went back to my bed to sit. Looking at the book, I saw it had a faded blue cover with Gone with the Wind in bold black print in the top center. "For a book that's supposed to be so awesome, the cover sure is plain." I thought to myself again.

I looked up at Tomoyo who was now writing in a book. "I wonder if she keeps a diary also." Sighing, started reading the book.

Dear Kitty,

One of my roommates finally showed up. Her name is Sakura Kinomoto. She seems very shy now, but I have a feeling that she's not always like that. She's too pretty to be.  Her eyes are a deep pool of emerald and she has silky auburn hair. I wish my hair was auburn like hers, but black hair isn't too bad.

I lent her my "Gone with the Wind" book. I saw her having a look at the cover of it and almost laughed when I saw her face seeing the boring cover. I guess no one told her you can't judge a book by its cover, but she'll see for herself. I hope we become good friends because she seems like such good company. Maybe she'll be the one I tell my secret too, but not likely. I guess I'll just have to get to know her; and that I'm looking forward to.

Sincerely,

              Tomoyo Daidoji

Tomoyo's P.O.V

Looking at Sakura, I see she's really getting into the book I lent her. I guess she likes it. Maybe we can have an old fashion book discussion on each chapter. That would be something fun to do. Maybe when our other roommate gets her I can ask if she's read "Gone with the Wind". If she hasn't, I could always give her my other copy.

"Attention students," Mrs. Taiyuki, our principal say over the loud speaker in the hall. You can hear them in your dorm room when even if the door is closed. They're supposed to be in every hall in the whole school. "Please come to the lecture hall. I repeat, please come to the lecture hall for a brief assembly. That is all."

Sakura looked confused when I looked over to her. I couldn't help but giggle. She's a funny girl.

"That means us." I say to her.

"Oh." She replies.

Sakura's P.O.V

Tomoyo and I enter the lecture hall and boy is it big! Girls are already here; about one hundred. This already freaks me out. What was I thinking coming to such a fantasy school with more than four hundred girls that are just as smart as me? Now that I think about it, am I really all that smart? Hoe…

"Sakura?" Tomoyo ask me. Probably seeing if I'm okay- and I'm not. I really want to go home. I guess she sees my fright because she puts her hand on my shoulder and says, "Its okay." It's easy for her to say. She's been her for two years now according to Ms. Mizuki. And what's with everyone comforting you by putting their hand on your shoulder and saying "it's ok"? Probably a boarding school thing…or their thing.

"I'm okay." I lie to Tomoyo putting on a fake smile. And as if she could see right through me, she frowned. Great, now I've mad her upset. I'm such a dork…

The assembly was about to begin. They turned off the lights. Why- I have no clue. I guess it's another thing they do. I guess I'll catch on. Also, it seems like at assemblies, everyone crosses their legs and puts their hands in their laps. Now I know this is a fancy school. Acting like I know what I'm doing, I copy everyone else and cross my legs. One thing bothers me though. Why didn't I get the memo? I'll ask Tomoyo later.

"Hello ladies." The principal greeted on stage with a microphone in her hand. She had on a navy suit with a knee-length skit. I actually just saw it in Penny's yesterday shopping for a suit for my self. They said it was required to have at least two suits.

Everyone said hello back to her including my self. She smiled. Like Ms. Mizuki, she had a warm smile that made everyone have a fuzzy feeling inside. At least I got a fuzzy feeling.

"Welcome back to Crestwood Academy! And welcome to our first year students. This year shows great promise and…"

I tuned out Mrs. Taiyuki while she was talking. It was nothing that important or nothing I haven't heard it before. I guess this school isn't that different.

After one hour and fifteen minutes, we finally left the lecture hall. It wasn't so boring and a few things did get my attention. Like when Mrs. Taiyuki said that we are all here at Crestwood for a special reason. And the reason is that when we applied to the Academy, we showed a special something that appealed to the Academy board. So I guess I have something special, even if I'm not aware of it.

"So did you like the assembly or did you tune everything Mrs. Taiyuki said out?" Tomoyo asked me.

"Not everything." I replied giggling. Tomoyo laughed as well. I know she and I are going to be great friends.

In the middle of our laugh fest, I heard Ms. Mizuki calling. Turning around I saw her run up to us. "Sakura," She started when she finally reached us. "Mrs. Taiyuki wants to see you."

"Me?" I asked unsurely. "Why me?"

She smiled. "Just come." She said taking me away from Tomoyo. I looked back at Tomoyo who just smiled and started back to the dorm. Why does everyone smile when something bad happens?

We got to the principals office door. Ms. Mizuki knocked on the door even when I pleaded with my eyes for her not to. But I can't blame her. It's her job.

"Come in." Mrs. Taiyuki said from inside the office. Ms. Mizuki practically pulled me inside the office. Giving up, I decided to sit down. Ms. Mizuki then said, "Mrs. Taiyuki, Sakura's here. I'll leave you two to talk."

"Great, she's leaving me to my doom." I thought.

The principal, Mrs. Taiyuki watched Ms. Mizuki leave. When she finally did, she faced me smiling. All this smiling is starting to get to me, but I guess they're just trying to friendly.

"Well Miss Kinomoto." She said with a loud voice. I don't really mind since she's used to talking to four hundred girls all at once. "Ms. Mizuki tells me that you're a bit nervous about being here at Crestwood. Is that true?" She asked me.

I looked at her for a few seconds replying, "Yes ma'am."

"Well Miss Kinomoto-."

"Can you call me Sakura, Taiyuki-san?" I asked.

"Sure." She said softly. "Well Sakura, its okay to be nervous. But I just want you to know, that you're here because you are a very special young lady."  The way she said it made me feel like I was in one of those sessions with sociologist people.

"I know I'm special, and I'm grateful to be here, but I'm nervous I won't be able to fit-in here. Everyone seems like they belong." I said not holding anything back.

Mrs. Taiyuki sighed. I guess she felt sorry for me. "Do you want to know a secret?" She asked me.

"Sure." I said simply.

"Well, when analyze the résumé's; one of the first things we discuss is weather the student will be able to get along with the other females."

"So in other words, you really think I can do well here."

"Exactly." She said warmly. "I'm glad you understand."

"So am I free to go?" I asked making her laugh.

"Of course."

Dear Diary,

Its 10:56 right now and lights are supposed to be out at 11:00 sharp. Not much different from my usual schedule, so I'm fine. Tomoyo went to bed early though.  I had a talk with our principal, Mrs. Taiyuki. I guess it's no secret that I'm just a little nervous, but she assured me it'll all work out. I guess she's right, but I can't help it. I've never been this far away from home before with all girls. I've basically lived with boys (my bro. and dad) for the past 11 years. It's good to know I have a friend in all this. At least I think so. I guess I'll see how this turns out…

Until Later,

                Sakura

I looked at the clock.  "Eleven o'clock." I thought.  "I guess this is the start of a new year." I whisper turning out the light.
