A/N: This is the first time I've ever posted a story on here, so I'm only going to continue it if people actually like it and send reviews. So please do!

Summary: Sakura is totally happy with her life...until she realises she's falling in love. So what's making her so upset? ...The person she's falling in love with only exists through emails. And what's the catch with her so called worst enemy – Syaoran Li?

Chapter 1

HIM

----------Sakura's POV----------

"SAKURA!!" I groaned as I heard my name being yelled out and glanced at the clock.

'7:50' the digital numbers stared blankly at me.

I stared blankly back for a few seconds before my brain began to process what my eyes were seeing. "Oh no I'm late! Tomoyo is going to kill me!" I screamed as I jumped out of bed and pulled on my favourite pair of cargo pants. They were just plain grey, much to Tomoyo's disgust, but I had wanted them so she let me buy them. I stood there for a minute trying to find a top before deciding on a pale pink one with a pattern down the left side that Tomoyo made for me. It wasn't my fault that I had been up all night emailing Soccerstar. Of course, that isn't his real name. I didn't know his real name, assuming he is a he at all. I met him on an online dating site called 'The One'. My name on the site is EmeraldCutie. Tomoyo made me join the site six months ago much to my horror. But when I got a message a week later from Soccerstar and we got to know each other, I was glad she did. Eventually we had traded email addresses instead. I smiled as I remembered the email from last night.

Hey Cutie P

What about you do I think about? Why are you so curious? Nothing disturbing or psychotic, I promise! Haha. You know, just things like 'what do you look like' and 'what if I see her every day but don't know it's her'.

You ARE a girl right? I mean you sound like a girl and everything, but you never really know on these things do you? But I promise you that I'm a guy

So what have you been up to? A new school year is starting for me tomorrow. I can't wait! (That was sarcastic). There's this classmate of mine who I've been enemies with since forever! So I'm not really looking forward to THAT particular meeting.

Do you still go to school? We've been talking for half a year and yet I know barely anything about you. I want to know more. Reply soon cutie.

I cleared my thoughts and was about to run downstairs when I looked over at my mirror and saw two big emerald eyes looking back at me. I smiled as I stared at my reflection in the mirror for a minute before deciding to leave my hair down. I was growing it, and it was finally just past my shoulders.

I grabbed a piece of toast on my way through the kitchen, threw my bag over my back and yelled goodbye to dad before pulling on my skates and hurrying to school. 'Why can I never be on time?' I thought angrily to myself. After however many years of school I've had, I STILL can't manage to wake up on time. I was about to turn left when I skated right into someone who had been behind the tree.

"Owww" I moaned.

"Watch where you're going Kinomoto!"

I groaned even louder when I heard that and realised who it was I'd bumped into.

"Whatever" I mumbled, before getting up, dusting myself off and continuing on my way to school.

----------Syaoran's POV----------

I got up angrily and stared at where she had been a few seconds ago. 'That was weird' I thought as I started walking towards the school gates again. I groaned as I saw Eriol waiting for me at the school gates.

"Homeroom is finished."

"Hi to you too" I replied.

"Sakura said she ran into you on her way to school so I just thought I'd come tell you that you need to pick up your timetable from the office." He replied.

I stared at him for a minute before saying "You're on first name basis with her now?" He rolled his eyes.

"I went holidaying in the same place as she did. We hung out a lot." He said. I glared at him.

"You hung out with HER?"

"Yes. I hung out with HER. She does have a name you know." I didn't know what to say to this.

"What are you two now? Friends? Lovers?" I asked, dreading the answer for some unknown reason.

"You're going to make us late" he complained.

I sighed, realising I wasn't going to get an answer from him. "Then why are you waiting for me?!?" I asked angrily.

I heard him sigh and stared at him. "Don't make being your friend harder than it already is." He said before turning and walking away from me. I stared after him. 'What is everyone's problem today?'

----------Sakura's POV----------

It was the first day back at school and all everyone could talk about was their fabulous holidays. I'd spent the first half of mine holidaying with my family (and Eriol), and the second half at the beach with Tomoyo, so we were pretty up to date on each other's lives, and all I could talk about was HIM.

"He's ruined my day already." I complained to Tomoyo. She laughed.

"YOU ran into HIM." She reminded me.

"Yes" I agreed "But that isn't really the point. The point is that I SAW him. And I had to SPEAK to him." I sighed and sunk down lower into my chair.

"How's Soccerstar?" Tomoyo asked slyly.

"Shuddup!" I shot back. She laughed.

"Oh come on! Give me something!" She complained. I rolled my eyes. She was forever trying to set me up with someone.

"He's good. We're still talking. I still like him." I answered.

"Like or love?" She asked with a mischievous glint in her eye.

"Tomoyo" I glared at her and she smiled, but didn't say anything more.

Homeroom had finished five minutes ago, and Tomoyo and I had already compared our timetables and found out we had all the same classes but one. She was taking fashion, I was taking creative writing. We were currently in our first period class, and I had scored the back seat next to the window, with Tomoyo next to me.

"Hey Kura!" I heard someone say enthusiastically and glanced to the classroom door to see someone walking in.

"Eriol! Yay you're in my class!" I exclaimed as I leaped up to give him a second hug that day. The first was during homeroom. He laughed and winked at me as he took the seat in front of Tomoyo.

"Wonder if Syaoran is in this class?" I heard Tomoyo mutter.

I glanced at her, "I hope not"

"Aww sorry to disappoint you Kura but he is. He's just late." Eriol said, butting into our conversation.

"He's late?!?" Tomoyo exclaimed. "He's never late!" I sighed; sometimes I thought my best friend had way too much interest in my worst enemy.

I looked at her and muttered "He's in this class?" They both looked up at me and started laughing.

"We can see your enthusiasm." I just rolled my eyes.

----------Syaoran's POV----------

I glared at my timetable. Not that it was the timetable's fault that Kinomoto ran into me, which made me late, which made the office lady angry at me. I rolled my eyes and made a pit stop at my locker before making my way to my first class of the day. I wondered how many classes I would have to put up with Eriol for. I remembered back to the conversation that morning. 'What is it I feel for that girl?' I wondered. I'd hated her when I first met her, but although we always tried our best to get on each other's nerves, I was beginning to like her. I shook my head. 'What am I saying? I don't like her!' I needed something else to think about. I glanced up the hallways. I didn't like being late. I'd have everyone's eyes on me when I walk into class and I'd have to apologise to the teacher. I sighed and rolled my eyes as I reached the door and opened it. 'Wait, no teacher.' The thought made me smile. I looked over to the back of the classroom where I usually sit and glared as I saw Sakura giving my best friend a hug and looking like she couldn't be happier. 'Why doesn't she smile like that when she sees me?' I thought, before getting angry that I wanted her smiling at me. 'This is getting complicated. What if I really do like her?' I tried to get that thought out of my head, but the picture of her hugging Eriol wouldn't go away.

"Hey Kinomoto" I called out and smiled as she turned her head to face me. I sat down in the seat in front of her. "Lemme see what classes you have!" I took her timetable before she could do anything to stop me. My eyes widened as I compared my timetable to hers. Every period was the same. I checked the names of the teachers. "Wow, all the same classes Saku!" I said as I grinned at her.

"Don't call me that." She practically spat at me. "And give me that back." I laughed and handed the timetable back to her.

"You know you love me Saku." I said. I was going to have some fun this year.

----------Sakura's POV----------

I was about to mutter some sort of horrible words to Tomoyo and Eriol, when HE walked into the class. I groaned and sunk even lower into my chair (not that I thought that was possible, but it was worth a shot).

"Hey Kinomoto" He said as he took the seat in front of me. I just stared at him in shock. "Lemme see what classes you have!' And before I could do a damn thing about it, he had my timetable in his hand.

'What does this guy get from annoying me? Does he live to annoy me? It sure seems like it.'

"Wow, all the same classes Saku!" He said smiling. I hope I heard him wrong.

"Don't call me that." I muttered. "And give me that back." He laughed and put my timetable back on my desk.

"You know you love me Saku." He said grinning. I was about to reply when the teacher walked into the room and asked for silence. I groaned quietly. This was going to be a looong day.

A/N: It's only the first chapter. I promise it will get more interesting if people like it and want me to write more! Also, constructive criticism is welcomed.
