Hey guys! Because of the positive response I got from "My Last Good Bye" here is a new story that spins out that one shot. I'm just jumping into this one, so I'm not going to promise anything, but I hope you enjoy! Please review!!

"Hello, my name is Kinomoto Sakura," a 13 year old Sakura smiled, holding out her hand.
"My name is Li Syaoran," the amber eyed boy replied, shaking her hand.
"Hey Sakura, are you just going to stand there or are you going to kick the soccer ball!" Meilin called from the goal posts.
"Coming!" Sakura yelled, kicking the ball. Just as she was about to kick it into the goal, a whirl went by and she ended up kicking thin air!
"Syaoran, the ball is supposed to stay on the ground!" Meilin scolded her friend.
Syaoran gave a mischievous smirk, "Kinomoto, you better run before I hit you!" he shouted, holding the ball up over his head as he ran towards Sakura.
"AHHHHHH!" Sakura cried as she ran away.
"Ohohohohoho," Tomoyo giggled, holding the camera up to her eye.

My first memory of you was the beginning of our strange relationship.

Sakura smiled as she got her yearbook back from Syaoran. Even though they only met a month ago, they surprisingly became friends rather quickly. "I'll read it when I get home," Sakura thought to herself as she handed her yearbook off to Tomoyo.
Later that night…
Sakura giggled, Tomoyo had claimed a whole page once again! At least this year she didn't put in any embarrassing pictures.
"Ah, here's Li-kun's."
"Hey Kinomoto,
I've only known you for a month or so, but I guess you're all right. Anyway, have a great summer-Li Syaoran
Ps: don't you find Meilin annoying? JK!"
Sakura smiled a small smile. Everyone knew that Syaoran had a thing for Meilin, but too bad for Syaoran the feelings would never be returned.
♥♣♠♦
Meilin was the one who introduced us, the one who would bring us together
♥♣♠♦
Over the summer, Syaoran managed to talk Meilin into dating him. So they "dated," for less than a month when Meilin broke it off with him. Sakura giggled as Meilin retold her what had happened, "Aww, poor Li-kun! Do you think he's going to be traumatized for life?"
"Nah, he'll get over it and move on, I'm sure!"
♥♣♠♦
At the time, I never knew that Meilin and I would trade places.

Some how, Sakura and Syaoran's friendship grew at an alarming rate. How did it all happen when Sakura had a crush on an unattainable guy and Syaoran changed crushes every 2 weeks? The answer is quite simple: they always turned back to each other in the end. They told each other everything that was going on in their lives; they had become each other's confidant. So it is no surprise that they eventually dated, but let's see how they got there.
"Syaoran, Eriol and I just broke up," Sakura said calmly as she talked to him over the phone.
"What? How did this happen?!"
"Well, two weeks ago he and I were going to go bowling with the gang. But he couldn't go, so Chiharu called and told me not to come. Well, I found out from Meilin that the reason I was told it was cancelled was because he couldn't go! Can you believe that?! So I decided that we should take a break, and then today we broke up."
"I'm sorry Sakura"
"No, it's ok. Now that I think about it, Eriol and I were nothing really. Anyway, I have homework to do, so I'll see you tomorrow, ok?"
"Ok, bye"
A week later during lunch…
"Sakura, guess what I just heard," Meilin said not too softly in Sakura's ear.
Everyone (meaning Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, and Yamazaki) slightly turned their heads as they listened up.
"Hmm?"
"I heard that you like Syaoran and he likes you back!"
Sakura whipped her head around and looked Syaoran in the eye. He stared back with equal intensity.
"Is that true…" Sakura started.
Just then the bell rang.
"Let me tell you something Sakura. I do like you, but I'm not going to make the first move," he whispered as he walked into the classroom.
Needless to say, the next class was a bit awkward between the two, but they both tried to act as normal as they could. They didn't have the next class together, so Sakura had some time to think, and by the end of the period she knew what she had to do.
As had become customary, Eriol (who was the only one in that class) walked her to her last class. And as was normal, they ran into Syaoran.
"Hey Syaoran, can I talk to you alone?"
"Sure Sakura. What do you want?" he asked as they took a few steps away from Eriol.
"I'm asking," Sakura stated, looking in his eyes.
Syaoran looked dumbfound, "Hold on!" he shouted as he ran back to where Eriol was.
Sakura shook her head and proceeded to walk, not wanting to be late for her class. But Syaoran came running back a few steps later.
"Sakura, will you be my girlfriend?"
Sakura smiled, "You baka, of course!"
Syaoran let out a huge grin, "Good! I'm sorry for not responding right away, but I wanted to make sure with Eriol that it would be ok. After all, he is my best friend."
Sakura gave him a look of understanding. He was such a considerate person…

I had become your girlfriend.

"Hello?" Sakura asked, answering the phone
"Hey."
"Hey Syaoran. What's wrong?" Sakura frowned as she heard Syaoran's dead tone.
"My father just passed away," Syaoran whispered.
♥♣♠♦
At that time, I wasn't ready to be the rock he needed me to be. Damn it, I was only 14…
♥♣♠♦
Sakura and Syaoran had many great times. They seemed to be the perfect couple. Sure, there were bumps (namely by a man called Touya), but they worked past them. But nothing was able to predict what would happen…
"Here you go Syaoran," Sakura grinned. She had used all of his extra autograph pages for his yearbook!
Syaoran smiled, going back to what he was writing.
"Are you going to the end of the year dance Sakura?" Meilin asked.
"I will if you will."
"Ok, I'm going with Daisuke."
Syaoran looked up, "Sorry Sakura, I don't think I can go."
"It's ok Syaoran, I'll be with Meilin!"
"And I'll make sure no other boy touched her! Come Sakura, let's get our tickets!"
Sakura blew Syaoran a kiss as she was dragged away. But while they waited in line, they changed their mind when they saw the cheerleaders buying tickets. Unfortunately, Syaoran reconsidered and got a ticket…
After that, things got sticky. And five days later, Syaoran said the most hated words a girl could hear…
"Sakura, I think we should break up."

How was I supposed to know anything?! We were only freshmen in high school. And now, seven years later, here I am sitting on my bed in the dead of night, back in Tomoeda. Back to where it all happened…

So how was it? It might seem a bit confusing, but I swear it will clear itself out as the story continues. Thanks for reading!
