Chapter 1: The Announcement

Sakura Kinimoto yawned and stretched as her alarm clock went off. It was morning already. She would be going to Tomoeda high school for her 8th grade there. She hit the clock and groggily rolled out of the bed and went to her closet to get dressed. After changing to her school clothes, Sakura went down to eat breakfast.

She sits on her chair. Mr. Kinimoto, her dad, greeted her. "Good morning Sakura."

Sakura replied with her usual cheerful smile "Morning Dad!"

Touya came out of nowhere and teased Sakura. "Well, looks like the monster is early today."

Sakura defended herself. "I'm not a monster!!"

Touya pasted his big grin to annoy her more. "Oh…of course you're not…in your dreams."

"Grrr…rr…rr…"

Touya is always successful on teasing Sakura every morning. It's like his daily routine. Sakura always fall for it.

Touya and Sakura finished eating there breakfast and bid goodbye to their dad.

Touya was first to say bye. "I'm leaving dad."

Sakura followed after wearing her rollerblades. "Bye dad."

"Ok. Be careful."

"Ok Dad!! See you later." They said in unison.

"Hey Touya! Wait up!" yelled Sakura. Then a familiar voice greeted her.

"Oh! Good morning Sakura." Sakura blushed.

"Good morning Yukito." (A/N: Sakura still has a crush on Yukito but it will end soon. I'm so obvious!! Lol!!)

Yukito starts a conversation with Sakura which she likes very much. "So…this is your first day as an 8th grader, huh?"

"Yes."

"Well, hope you have a good day"

"Same to you."

Touya interrupted to Sakura's happiness. "You shouldn't be saying that to her. You better say that to her classmates. She may be the one who makes everyone's day to be horrible. After all, it's the job of a monster like her."

As usual, Sakura raised her clenched fist to Touya and will say 'I am not a monster' then she will see Yukito grinning at her and blushed because of her action.

They bid each other goodbye when they reached school.

In the classroom

"Good morning, everyone!" Greeted Sakura to everyone with her pleasant smile.

"Good morning to you too, Sakura!" Chiharu, Naoko and Rika greeted back with a smile.

She went to her seat and greeted her best friend Tomoyo with her sweetest smile she always gives to her. "Good morning Tomoyo!!"

"Good morning Sakura!! Wow!! You look extremely happy today. What's up?"

"Well, Yukito and I went to school together today." Sakura answered at the same time blushing while remembering what happen earlier. Tomoyo gives Sakura a reassuring smile while watching her in Lala Land.

Mr. Terada came and ordered everyone to sit down.

"Good morning class. I hope you have fun in your summer vacation. Did you all finish your assignments?" he asked.

"Yes!!" the class chorused.

"Very good. I have an announcement to make. There will be a talent show coming and all of you will participate. The competitions are in dancing, stand-up comedy, acting, instrumental and singing. You can do it solo or group yourselves, but there are limited numbers of members. And if ever one of you possesses some kind of a bizarre ability, there's a category for that one. And for your questions, you can consult the bulletin board in the cafeteria after class if you want. That's all I can say for now."

Back to Sakura and Friends

Sakura asked Tomoyo nervously. "Ahh….Tomoyo….if you like….can you join the singing competition…with me?"

Tomoyo was happy to hear it, "Of course Sakura. I'd be happy to join the competition with you."

Sakura hugged Tomoyo. "Thanks Tomoyo. Then it's settled. We need one more member. I wonder…..?"

While thinking, Tomoyo whisper something on Sakura. Sakura started to ask her friends after reading the billboard. "So, have you all decided?"

Naoko was the one to answer. "Me, Chiharu, Rika, Li, Meili and Yamazaki will join the dance competition. What about you two?"

"Well, Tomoyo and I will participate in the singing competition but we still need one more member so….we were wondering if…."

Sakura was cut off by Tomoyo. "We were wondering if you would like to join our band." Asked Tomoyo to their new friend.

Hmmm….a talent show. Wonder what's going to happen next?? grins
