Love or Something Like It

Summary: Has nothing to do with Cardcaptor Sakura storyline/personalities. It's Sakura's senior year of high school. Unlike other stories, she is already together with Syaoran and this story explores her thoughts on that. From Sakura's POV.

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura or any of its related characters. If I did, I of course would not be sitting here writing this lame fanfic.

Chapter One: Too Cute Tomoyo

"Tomoyo- I mean , Sakura, could you hand me that water bottle."

Oh my god. Did he just call me Tomoyo? Syaoran, my one and only? Called me the name of another girl! Oh, I see where his loyalties lie! Sure, he's all sweet in private telling me that I'm "everything" to him and he can't even imagine life without me – but he can't remember my own freakin' name! Now that I think about it, there's a whole bunch of times where he goes and confuses me and Tomoyo. Oh, it makes me furious! Like, he'll say "Remember that time when we were out together and…oh wait, I was with Tomoyo…not you…" Is Tomoyo really such a big part of his life that he should confuse her with me!

Ay, but I shouldn't think such things! Tomoyo is one of the sweetest most caring girls I have ever met. It's not her fault she was born with such a beautiful complexion, luscious locks of hair, a trim body… why does my best friend have to be so darn cute! She makes me so jealous! Because compared to her, I'm so… bland. My brown hair which now reaches down to my waist is often just a little frizzy, never perfect. My body isn't in shape anymore ever since I took up so many AP classes and extracurricular activities and never had the time to go out and exercise anymore. My legs are covered with scars from being a klutz and running into things as well as from scars from bug bites (for some reason, I attract bugs). Okay, well, my face isn't too bad since I don't get pimples too often… but the point is, it's not fair! Tomoyo was born cute! She doesn't need makeup or anything! And since I don't even know how to put on makeup, I can never size up to her image!

But Syaoran says he likes me just the way I am…he thinks I'm cute… but what if he starts thinking Tomoyo is cuter?

I silently fumed about my predicament as he drank the water from the water bottle I just handed to him. Such an oblivious boy. Oh oblivious one, why can't you express one notion of affection in public! What am I, your secret girlfriend that you must hide from the world? There you go, just drinking your water, without a care in the world.

He turns and looks at me and studies my face. I try to make my face unreadable.

"What's wrong."

I blink. Alright, don't give anything away. Remember, straight face.

"Oh, nothing."

He looks at me suspiciously and goes back to drinking his water.

Of course something is wrong, baka! If there was nothing wrong, think I'd be sitting here contemplating whether you really like me as much as you say you do and not talking to you! God. I hate being a teenager. All these raging hormones inside of me… I don't know when my thinking is rational or not anymore! Maybe I'm just being totally paranoid and there's nothing going on between Tomoyo and him. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be with me right?

A/N: I apologize for those who enjoy reading dialogue between characters because this first installation doesn't contain very much at all! I will try to have more dialogue in the future. R&R if you want more! If not…then don't. Haha. My first ever fanfic!
