Chapter 1:
UNFORTUNATE OR FORTUNATE DAY
(Make It Good by: A1)
When you're weary, when you're down and out
Lay your hands on me
When you're weary, when you're down and out
Lay your hands on me
Sakura Kinomoto had grown up in a young lady of eighteen. Still living at the same house with her dad and Touya, the only different is Kero already left the house. Nothing had changed when it comes to her attitude.
On one sunny day, Mr. Kinomoto and Touya were eating their breakfast in the dining room. Sakura, as usual, woke up late and stormed down the stairs.
"I'm sorry, dad!" Sakura shouted along the stairs, she reached the dining room and paused to catch her breath. "Good morning!" She sat beside her dad, grabbed her chopsticks and ate her breakfast quickly.
Touya kicked Sakura's leg. "Eat properly, will you? No wonder no one courts you. Act as an eighteen!"
"That hurts." Sakura continued to eat her meal. "I'm in a hurry. I'm late!"
Mr. Kinomoto finished his meal without saying anything. He grabbed his suitcase and said, "Now, you should hurry. He checked his watch, "Your class will start in 30 minutes. I'm sorry darling, but I can't drive you to school I have a – "
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Sakura kissed her dad's cheek and grabbed her bag.
Mr. Kinomoto entered his car, "Take care." He waved at Touya and Sakura then ran the engine. The car dashed.
Touya started his motorbike to go to work and wore his helmet. This time he's not using his old bicycle anymore. "Want to hitch a ride?"
Sakura's panicked-looking face turned into a big smile. "You're a true hero, brother Touya!"
Tomoeda High was just 15 minutes away from their house. The motorbike stopped in front of their school. It was the first day of classes for Sakura's junior year. Everyone entering the campus seemed excited except for her.
"Good luck, sis!" Touya left.
Sakura entered the school. She's sad because almost all her friends were gone into different schools. Meiling was in Hongkong; Tomoyo has gone into an exclusive school and Syaoran... Syaoran...
Sakura sighed deeply, walking absent-mindedly until she found herself in front of her new classroom. She opened the door and found the room almost full of noisy students. Looking around, she knew no one of them. She sat in a vacant chair at the very back of the room beside the window.
She stayed at her seat looking through the window. The bell rang and their teacher entered the room, who wrote her name into the blackboard. Sakura looked at the empty chair at her right. She shook her head.
"Good morning, class." The female teacher greeted with short black hair, "I'm your teacher for this school year and my name is Miss Chin."
The class greeted Ms. Chin then fell silent.
Ms. Chin smiled, "I have a news for you."
Sakura wasn't listening. Her head was turned again facing the window. Her hand below her chin, thinking the happy times she shared with her friends. Catching the Clow Cards, Picnics, Outings and many more.
I count my blessings
Think of all I have
She never thought about it
Then threw it all away
"There's a new transferee student from Hongkong." Ms. Chin announced. Sakura quickly turned her head towards the blackboard to see the newcomer. Ms. Chin opened the door.
Every eye was staring at Ms. Chin. Suddenly, the newcomer entered the room. A young man stepped inside. He had brown hair, honey brown eyes, broad shoulders and lips that determine a smile. He was tall and really looked handsome. Girls whispered at one another and giggled.
Sakura stared at him for almost a minute. The boy made her recall someone but can't think who he is.
"Introduce yourself." Ms. Chin ordered.
The boy walked at the center. "I'm Li Syaoran. I spent more than a year here in Japan when I was in grade school." He paused, "You can call me Li or Syaoran."
Sakura's eyes widened and her jaws dropped open. 'I knew it! He looks a lot like Syaoran! I didn't recognize him at once!' she thought to herself.
"Ok, Li, you can sit in the vacant chair at the back." Ms. Chin said.
Left it all to chance
She tore down fences
Now it seems so wasted
Wish she could turn back time
Syaoran walked towards the chair. He turned and smiled to Sakura then sat quietly. Sakura, whose eyes glittered and smiling widely, expected him to greet his old friend. But Syaoran didn't. His eyes fixed at the front. He completely ignored her!
Sakura became sad. 'How come Syaoran forgot me? I thought I would have my old friend back.' She spent the next hours thinking the moments with Syaoran from the very first day they met.
The bell rang. Sakura stood to talk to Syaoran but three girls already asked him to eat with them. They left the room immediately. Sakura stared at the three girls with Syaoran. It was lunchtime.
Sakura brought her meal with her. She walked out of room and went to the boundary of Grade School and High School Department. The sun hid from the clouds and it doesn't hurt her skin much. She sat below a tree and openes her lunch box full of foods cooked by her dad.
Suddenly, someone covered her eyes from her back and whispered to her ear, "Hello, Sakura!"
Sakura removed the hands that covered her eyes. She turned quickly to the person who whispered. It was Syaoran!
"Oh Syaoran!" Sakura quickly embraced him. "I've missed you a lot!" Her eyes began to water.
Syaoran hugged her, too and blushed, "Me, too." Then he released her.
There was a long pause. Sakura stared unblinkingly at him. Syaoran sat beside her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
