Title: Unexpected Romance

Chapter: 1) Who is he?

Long, waist length auburn hair flowed gently behind her as she walked. Shining emerald green eyes looking straight ahead as she walked. Flirty pink skirt floating and pink mid-drift top hugging her figure delicately. All eyes - boys and girls all - on her. She ignored them and kept walking to her locker.

"Sakura!" yelled a girl with dark hair and amethest eyes - Sakura's friend.

"Hey Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said uselessly as she started her combination.

Tomoyo was wearing her head cheerleading outfit. It was baby blue and candy apple red, the school colors.

"So I need to know if you're coming to the party tonight at Naoko's."

"Tomoyo." she breathed out as she gathered her books. "You know I don't do parties. Why don't you ask Chiharu?"

"I was hoping you would change your mind."

"I need to get to class."

Sakura walked off, headed to her classroom, but accidently bumped into someone on the way.

"I'm sorry." she said before looking up at the person.

It was a guy with chocolate brown hair and amber eyes. He wore a black t-shirt with a giant skull on it and black baggy jeans. His ear was peirced at least twice and he had demonic looking rings on his fingers. She knew what he was but not who.

"It's okay." he said in a monotone voice before going back to whatever he was up to.

'An outcast!' Sakura gasped to herself, eyes slightly wide.

She had never actually seen any at school before in the year and a half she had been here but now she knew that they weren't just rumors. They were actual students.

It was lunch and Sakura was in the back feild thinking. She layed in the soft grass and watched the bleach white clouds pass by. She still had a perfect image of "the outcast" in her mind, truly wishing she had gotten his name. She had already eaten her lunch and she always came here to get away from the roaring voices of the students around her. She almost thought it was impossible that it had been so long and that was the first time she saw an outcast.

She sat up when she heard someone jumping the fence. The only way to get to the backfield was to either jump the fence or slip through a hole in the fence that was slightyly hidden by some plants. She looked at the figure hopping the fence and saw just a black blob jumping down on the side of the fence Sakura was on. She looked closer and saw that it was a girl with raven hair and ruby eyes. It was another outcast.

"You could've gone through the hole in the fence." Sakura said to the girl as she brushed some dirt off her fishnet leggings.

The girl looked up at Sakura and laughed.

"Aren't you Sakura Kinomoto?" she asked, pointing a non-judgementl finger.

"Yeah, so?" she wrapped her arms around her knees.

"You're the most popular girl in school yet you are talking to an outcast like me."

"Oh. I guess I usually just don't talk."

"I'm Meiling." she introduced as she plopped down next to Sakura.

"Nice to meet you." Sakura giggled.

They spent the rest of lunch getting to understand eachother. She promised to meet Meiling there tomorrow. From all the things she talked about with Meiling she learned that oucasts were just normal people with different taste.

The school bell rang for the day to end and all the students flooded out of their classes and swarmed in the halls like bees. Sakura was the last to come out of her class and she saw him again. "The outcast" was walking towards the back field, where she had met Meiling. Sakura was curious. Other students stood at least five feet away from him as he walked. No one wanted to be an outcast like him. She ran after him and grabbed his sleeve, causing him to stop and look at her.

"Who are you?" she asked, her voice matching her curiosity.

He looked at her funny for a second and shook her grip off his shirt and continued walking.

"Why would you want to know?" he asked rudely as Sakura started to follow him. "I'm an outcast."

"Tell me." she pleaded softly.

"Syaoran Li." he stated before walking faster, leaving her behind.

'Syaoran Li.' she repeated in her mind.

His voice rang in her ears. Sakura began to walk home. Somehow today turned into the best day she had ever had at this school.

The next morning Sakura put on a black mini skirt that was above mid-thigh with a beaded/spiked belt and a pink tank top then headed straight for school. She was supposed to meet Meiling at the track on the opposite side of the fence to the backfield in the morning and during lunch they would be in the backfield. Just like Meiling had said she was there with six other "outcasts." Not all of them dressed in black but about half of them did. Meiling wore torn black jeans and a black low cut shirt with a spiked coller around her neck.

"Sakura-chan!" Meiling giggled as she hugged Sakura.

"Hi, Meiling." she smiled.

The other people that were with Meiling stared at Sakura funny, as if she was the outcast. Sakura scanned the small croud and saw Syaoran hiding in the back. When she saw his reaction to her she ignored him and turned back to Meiling.

"Time to meet the group." Meiling said to her. "So we've got Mina, Hikaru, Ruby, Kyo, Mikey and Syaoran."

Meiling pointed to each one as she went through the list. Sakura smiled sweetly, easily recalling their names. Meiling was the first person she had opened up to in a long time and she was already meeting new people.

"Are you Meiling's new pet?" asked the one who Sakura knew had to be Ruby.

She was a beautiful girl - almost as pretty as Sakura always thought her mother was - with long ink black hair and a single purple streak. She woar a black shirt and a black skirt with blue flames around the bottom.

"No, I'm nobody's pet and I never will be." she huffed.

"Aren't you Sakura Kinomoto? You're, like, the most popular girl yet you're hangin out with us?" Mina asked.

Mina's boy cut blond hair mabe her more attractive and she wore all white except a blood red tie with a black cross on it.

"Just because I'm popular doesn' t mean I can't hang out with who I want." she scowled.

And they only started to get on her nerves.

"How do you-" Kyo started but Sakura cut him off.

"No more FUCKING questions!" she yelled at him.

Everyone stopped bothering her and she stared down at her feat in frustration. After she calmed she looked up only to see someone standing there all of a sudden. She screamed and everyone looked at her in case there was a reason to worry.
