The Devil is Beside You

Chapter one:

Incoming

The arrival of happiness will never come upon me. I'll have to pray for a miracle.

"I d-don't think I c-can do this, you guys. I'm emerging with pee!" Sakura whispered.

"Here he comes, Sakura! Go!" A amethyst eyed schoolgirl whispered franticly.

"But, Tomoyo…but…he's…" Sakura's emerald eyes gazed at the incredibly handsome blued haired basketball captain. Amazing

"Come on, Sakura! He's right there!" A very impatient pigtailed friend rolled her eyes and huffed.

"Go on." Tomoyo gave her a gentle push.

"Ahh…wait…ah…" Sakura lost her balance and stumbled onto the floor. "Umm. E-eriol, please go out with me!"

"Oh, my." Tomoyo breathed.

"Huh?" Sakura looked up to find a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring at her. She looked around and spotted Eriol walking past, completely oblivious. "Ah! Eriol!"

"You must be completely brainless." He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Ah!" Sakura blushed uncontrollably. "I'm sorry!" And then scampered away embarrassed.

Oh my god! It's the wrong guy!

"You must really be retarded! Who confesses their love to the wrong guy?" Tomoyo rolled her eyes.

"Do stop it, Tomoyo. Everyone makes mistakes. Sakura was just nervous, that's all. Right, Sakura?" Chiharu looked over at Sakura.

"Who exactly was that guy?" Sakura asked.

Chiharu beamed and put on her know-it-all face. "Well…that was a freshman. His name is Syaoran Li. He's the chairman's son."

"Li is very cute." Tomoyo pointed out, as if they didn't know.

Chiharu noticed Sakura's nervous face. "Hey, don't worry. You can confess again."

"Plus, didn't you write a love letter, yesterday? Is it with you?" Tomoyo requested.

"Well, I had it with me. Now, let's see…ahhhh!" Sakura shrieked.

"What? What?" Tomoyo and Chiharu ran to her side.

"Wahh! I lost the letter!" Sakura wailed.

"Why you idiot! Anyone could have seen it!" Tomoyo bellowed.

"Come on! Let's go find it." Chiharu said. They all spread into separate places.

Now what?

Argg, now where is it? I've looked everywhere!

"Kinomoto? You're Kinomoto Sakura, right?" Eriol asked her.

"Uhh, yes. Hi, Eriol." Sakura blushed.

"It's late. What are you still doing on school grounds? Why…are you on the grass?" Eriol looked at her oddly.

"Umm. I'm..ah…just looking for a rare type of grass, yeah." Sakura lied bizarrely.

"Uhh…well, okay. Do you need me to walk you home?" Eriol held out his hand.

Sakura took his hand gratefully. "No, I can get home by myself."

"Oh, well. Bye!"

I talked to him! But most importantly, he talked to me! Maybe losing the letter isn't a bad thing…

Today, is a new day. I wonder if yesterday was all just a dream. Wee! Even if just a dream, it's too good to believe!

Well, might as well look for the letter now. It would be better if it wasn't revealed.

"La, la la…" Sakura skipped to the near by park. She stopped when she saw a familiar figure."Huh?" Li.

Syaoran saw Sakura, then walked towards her. "Hey!"

"H-hey." Sakura said cautiously. Better not make any eye contact.

"Looking for something?" Syaoran smirked and held out a pink envelope.

My letter!
