Chapter 1: Enter, Li Syaoran

"Hello and welcome to Daidouji Designs."

I'm Sakura Kinomoto, 17 years old. I've got emerald eyes and auburn hair and right now I'm at a shop owned by my friend Tomoyo. I am her vice president slash main model and today we've got big clients to assist. If we play our cards right, they'll sell our products in their mall.

"We'll take them." Someone took me out of my thoughts.

"Excuse me?" I asked

"I said we'll take them." It was one of the clients

"Really? Let me get the contract." I reached for it and handed it over to them. "Here you go, Sir."

"Pleasure doing business with you."

"Thank you very much" I then ran and hugged Tomoyo "Sugoi! We did it."

"It's all thanks to you, Sakura-chan"

"Tomoyo they're your designs I-" our conversation was cut short by my ringtone

Li Syaoran calling

"Go on, we don't want to keep Li-kun waiting" I answered it.

"Syao, you wouldn't believe it we j-"

"Kura, where are you, the game is about to start. I need you here."

"Syao, I can't just leave the shop you know."

"See you later, bud."

"Syaora-" He hung up.

"There you go again, Sakura-chan" Tomoyo spoke up. "You drop down everything when it comes to Li-kun."

"I'm sorry, Tommy but will it be ok if I leave you?"

"I know Li-kun always comes first. Just be careful, alright?"

"I'm just going to the school's soccer match, where's the danger in that?"

"I was talking about your heart."

"I have to go," I said with a sad smile. This is why Tomoyo and I argue a lot. You see I'm in love with my best friend. I, Kinomoto Sakura, am in love with Li Syaoran.

I'm sitting on the bleachers and the game is pretty intense. There was only a minute left and the opponent team was leading by 1 point. Suddenly I see Syaoran kicking the ball and goes in. He scores.

"Go syao!" His eyes was on the ball. He was so handsome. He has unruly chocolate brown hair which only adds of to how hot he is. He possesses a fit, muscular body and amber eyes that can pierce right through your soul.

It was only seconds away from the buzzer, Syaoran got hold of the ball and kicked it as strong as he can and scores just a second before everybody heard the buzzer. Our team won and everybody went wild.

The team was raising Syaoran up while the cheerleaders were screaming his name, practically adoring him but after a few minutes, it all died down and they all ran to the rooms to change.

After a few minutes, I a brown mop of hair come out of the changing rooms while I was sitting along on the bleachers.

"Hey, hotshot!" I yelled.

"There you are, Kura. Did you see that final score?" He rambled on about his game and all I could do was smile and listen to him. Nothing makes me happier than seeing this boy happy.

"Guess what, Syao. We were able to get those big clients to sign with Daidouji designs"

"That's great, now there's more reason to celebrate."

While we were walking we heard things falling like someone lost hold of them. We turn around and see Sara Matsuda, the head cheerleader, picking up her books from the floor. I was just about to tell Syaoran that we should help her but he was already there picking her books up for her.

This is why I fell in love with Syaoran in the first place, He's a gentleman, he's kind and he's honest. It's not about his looks or his money. He could lose all those things and I'd still love him. I love him because he's Syaoran Li, that's all there is to it.

"Thank you, Syaoran. I had a lot of things to carry. I have books, projects and my cheerleading uniform." Sara spoke

"It's no problem at all, would you like me to take this to your car for you?" he then looked my way as if asking for approval, all I could do was nod.

We were in are seats at are favourite restaurant, celebrating his victory and our shop's good news.

I then teased him, "Syaoran and Sara sitting on a tree K-"

"I hope so." He agreed. But he wasn't supposed to.

"You fancy her, huh?" He only nodded, Now I have to play the worst role of all time, the supportive best friend. "I hope it works out for both of you" and smiled to look like I meant it.

Next Day

It was the day after the school won the soccer game and I see everyone in a good mood.

"Sakura!" I see Syaoran calling my name.

"What's up?"

"Can you do me a favour?" For you, anything.

"Could you give these flowers to Sara for me?" He handed me a bouquet.

No! No! Of course not! "Sure" I faked a smile

"Thanks, Kura. You're the best" and I watched him walk away. I then spotted Sara.

"Sara!"

"Sakura, right?" I nodded

"My best bud asked me to give you these."

"Wow, Syaoran is the sweetest boy ever. Can you keep a secret, Sakura. Girl to girl?" I nodded.

"If he asks me to be his girlfriend, I'll definitely say yes. I really like Syaoran." She'll never tell, secretly she wanted him as well. (A/N: Skater Boy – Avril Lavigne)

I faked a smile and told her, "Don't worry, I won't say a word." And I left her, I ran as fast as I can to the cherry blossom tree outside the school.

"Why do you have to be such a martyr, Sakura." I hear a man's voice. I looked up and saw Tomoyo and her boyfriend Eriol standing there. Tomoyo bent down and gave me a hug.

"Something's a miss here" she said.

"Syaoran's happy with a girl, what's wrong with that?"

"He's happy with a girl that isn't you, that is."
