'First day at school, and I'm going to be late!!'
I started to get my uniform that consisted of a white shirt along with navy blue denims with an obligatory navy blue jacket with school symbol on its right side.
I'm Syaoran Li – future leader of Li clan. Li clan is one of the most powerful, ancient and richest clans in the world. It's actually rumored to be one of those clans that raise true leaders due to severe and strict training from the elders. It's true that the training these bearded / droopy-eyed guys it ruthless and austere. Right now, my dad, Xing Li is the dynamic leader of the clan. I guess he is my role model. He taught me everything: business, stocks, sword fighting, martial arts, everything and anything I would ask him to teach me, he would. He is one of those quiet ones, like me I guess. My sisters (ya I have 4 annoying sisters) say that I look exactly like him; the same untidy brown hair, the same amber eyes, the same forward attitude. When I was small, I used to follow him around everywhere, asking him annoying questions. I want to be so much like him because I have to take his position later on when the elders think I'm fully prepared for it
Basically I'm from Hong Kong. As a part of the preparations, I was sent to Tomoeda in Japan, a hostile atmosphere where I know nobody, with my butler Wei. Ridiculous, isn't? Yes, indeed. Here I was given an apartment; I had to work part-time for my survival along with Wei's. I was enrolled in Tomoeda East Academy to 11th grade.
I was half way to school when I noticed it was 7:40! I only have 19 minutes to get to school. I was just glad that I went to the school yesterday to check the atmosphere; at least I know the way to school. I was in my tandem, due to intense training, my speed was pretty good. I raced my bike through the quiet yet peaceful streets of Tomoeda.
I had already visited some places like King Penguin Park, the shopping center, Maki's store called Twin Bells, the library, the movie theater, and the arcade, since I came here last week. I was actually interested in this small town. It was really tiny compared to Hong Kong, but for some strange reason, it seemed to hold more surprises. Especially the cherry blossom trees. It was weird for me to see these pink trees everywhere. In Hong Kong, it's really a big city. Mostly it's all big building that I see except for sporadic park here and there. I had to admit I don't see these trees often.
I was riding at top speed, plus I was day-dreaming when I heard someone screaming, "Look out." And I did look out. But only in time to glimpse the flash of a small girl shooting like a popped cork into my path before I find myself sprawled across the road along with her — and feeling really stupid for knocking down a girl who was in her roller skates.
"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry…. Are you alright?" I enquired while getting up. 'Damn it! Nice start!'
"Yup," She just stood up swiftly and smiled at me. She was wearing the girl's uniform of my present Academy since I could see the school emblem on her shirt too. She seems cheerful, I could say that easily. She had shoulder length auburn brown hair with her some bangs left loose onto her face which made her pretty for her age. Her eyes were a rich color of green, my favorite color, more like emerald-green. Her face showed hints of toughness and attitude, yet her eyes showed fondness and innocence.
"Sorry again, I didn't mean… to hit you," I smiled back.
"It's okay, oniichan," She replied. I was surprised at her calling me 'oniichan'. I was already having four sisters, and I don't want another one to bother me about.
"Oniichan? No need of formalities, kiddo. Call me Syaoran, Okay?"
She nodded and smiled, "Call me Sakura."
"Sakura… nice name for a nice girl. You are also from Tomoeda East Academy, isn't it? Come on then, we are gonna be late."
"Yeah," She started skating and I was racing along with her.
"Pretty good speed," I complimented, since she was copping up with my speed. "In which grade are you in?"
"Sixth grade; and you, oniichan? Sorry Syaoran-chan"
I grinned and replied, "11th grade."
"My brother's also in 11th grade. He is good at everything. You may know him."
"May be not, kiddo. You see I'm kinda new here."
We halted as we reached the academy. I stopped short and my eyes widened at seeing the school building again. It was incredibly huge.
"Bye then, Sakura," I gave her a bye.
"Bye Syaoran-chan, see ya later."
'Nice girl, why can't all girls be like that?'
She left into another building since each section has its own buildings – Kindergarten section, Elementary section, Junior High section and Senior High section. I entered the main building, as I had to report in staff section that morning.
---At classroom---
I took a deep breath and prepared to open the door once again. I wasn't ready to do this. It was my first time changing schools. Right now, I was away from my home, my dad, my family, my friends and everyone I knew. I badly wanted to make some good friendship, because I was in an aloof atmosphere. "Make some good friends, son that will help you to undergo any situation there. But be wise in making them," that's what my father advised me to do.
Finally I turned the knob thinking his words and opened the door. The class and the teacher turned to look at me. She raised an eyebrow as the students stared shocked. I handed my teacher, Ms. Tsuling, my slip and bowed waiting for her to give the okay for me to take a seat. My eyes scanned the class as I waited.
"Please introduce yourself and tell us a few things about you," Ms. Tsuling told me. I nodded, took a deep breath and replied,
"My name is Syaoran Li. I'm totally new here as I'm from Hong Kong.," I finished shortly as I felt almost all the girls drooling at me. I totally ignored them, because girls were not something I was interested right now. Ms. Tsuling smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, now please take a seat next to Kinomoto. Kinomoto please raise your hand so Li here knows where to go," she instructed. I noticed Kinomoto, a handsome black-haired guy with sharp brown eyes raising his hand as he was frowning hard. I sighed once again and walked over to my seat. Touya glared at me. I just ignored it. I had grown immune to all glares at Hong Kong.
----When bell rang for lunch---
The whole class got up and raced for the door. I took my time deciding I wasn't in any rush. A tall, silver-haired guy with glasses covering his grey eyes, who was sitting ahead of Kinomoto came near my desk and asked, "So Li, why did you move here?"
I had prepared myself for this question as I was damn sure to receive this one sooner or later. Since my true identity and intentions were not to be mentioned, I decided my answered would be this,
"As a part of expanding our family business," I answered. It wasn't technically a lie, as my clan was planning to expand our business to Japan. I was also sent here to study the trends in Japan.
Kinomoto looked like he didn't believe it, as he was listening to our talk. Anyway this guy seemed to buy it. I knew what was coming.
"Well I'm Yukito Tsukishiro. This is Touya Kinomoto. Why don't we show you around the school and maybe later show you around town," He offered.
"No it's fine really." I replied as I saw Kinomoto raising his eyebrows at his friend's offer.
"Are you backing out because of Touya? Don't bother him, okay? He takes his time to form new friendship," he replied. "Isn't it so, Touya?"
Touya kept quiet at his remark. "Okay then," I said.
Not bad for first day, both Touya and Yukito were pretty decent guys. Kinda guys I would like to hang out with. Its always true that, "Birds of same feathers flock together." Both Touya and Yukito were best friends since elementary, and they didn't have any other best friends – Strange! May be because they were two guys with some strange attitude. But I really liked their attitude, as it was similar to mine. Touya kept quiet most of time. Yukito was the one talking to me about all the stuffs about school and about Tomoeda.
We walked down the hall. Yukito told me that they were desperately in need of basketball player as their last year captain, Shin, left. He was the captain of the Crazy. He was amazingly good at basketball, turned the game around for the team. But he had gone, and all they needed now was for a new player to cross their path. A guy who was smart, intelligent, hot, and excellent at the ball game. That was what they needed. He asked me whether I was good at basketball. As I was not bad in games, he insisted me on joining the basketball practice section after school. I agreed.
---Practice Session---
Touya's feet shuffled down the corridor, quickly glancing at the clock. 4:30pm, he smiled as he realized he had half an hour of basketball before going home.
"Good afternoon, guys!" He shouted as he entered the gym. Replies came shooting back at him. In front of him were some great basketball players along with Yukito.
"Let's get this game started!"
10 minutes into the game, they were really getting into it - but a whistle cut them off.
"Kinomoto, over now!"
Touya ran over to the door where our coach was standing. He was not a man who gets in bad mood!
"Hello coach"
"Kinomoto, meet Syaoran Li, new to the school, and I hear, he is good at basketball"
"I know him, coach," He smiled at me for the first time. He shook hands with me; strange to me as I was almost with him and Yukito the entire time, he didn't even bother to talk to me.
"Let's see what you got then?"
"Sure."
We walked into the hall, and Touya winked at them. Yukito threw the ball to me, which I caught with ease. Dribbling casually up to the hoop, I took a shot and watched as the ball glided through the hoop. All the guys clapped as I took an elegant bow, all started laughing. All on the team looked around at each other, all thinking the same thing – new Shin. I could see the smile in Touya's face. He approached me and said,
"Hey Gaki, it was impressing."
Yukito winked at me.
I just knew our friendship was about to start.
