Chapter 1 – The New Girl

Sakura walked down the hall of her new school, well not just an ordinary new school it was a magical school full of mystery. The hall was empty of students since the bell had rung 5 minute earlier. The stone walls were covered with rows of lockers with a continuous mural painted over them, the stone ceiling was off white and the floor was tiled marble. The vice-principal was leading her to her locker.

"Here we are, locker number 1040," the he said pointing to the locker. It happened to have cherry blossoms painted all over. Sakura smiled at the coincidence. The VP whispered a special chant that only allows the owner of the locker to open it. Sakura then opened her locker put her books that she did need in and took her bag to carry the heavy books she needed currently.

As soon as she was finished the VP led her to her first class. He knocked on the door and slid it open. The teacher came to the door.

"You have a new student, Kaho, her name is Kinomoto, Sakura," the VP said then gave a file to the teacher and walked away.

"Come in Sakura-san," the teacher said walking to the front of the class. Sakura walked in and stood beside the teacher. "Welcome to the Eastern Academy for the Extraordinary and Elite. I'm Mizuki-sensei. Class please welcome Sakura Kinomoto"

"Welcome Kinomoto-san," they all said in monotone and in synchronization. Sakura couldn't help but wonder if they were drones. She then knew that everyone started to realize who she was. She couldn't help but blush at the type of attention she was getting, even though by now she should be used to it.

"Are you Sakura the actor/model/singer?" one girl shrieked from the back of the class. This got the whole class talking.

"Quiet! Now Sakura-san… um…. are you?" asked Kaho with stars in her eyes. Sakura took a double take and her eyes widened.

"Um…yea I guess," she mumbled. Everyone started to whisper, giggle or drool. 'Damn, I knew I should've disguised myself. Stupid Touya telling me no one will recognize me in Japan since I was a star in 'small' Hong Kong. He isn't my manager how would he know. Why did I ever listen to him?' thought Sakura. "Well where should I sit?"

"Oh yes, nearly forgot, how about the empty seat by the windows?" said Kaho. Sakura walked down the row to the empty seat when she noticed the guy behind her seat glaring at her. She glared back, his eyes flashed with surprise. 'Why is he glaring? I've never met him before. He's probably one of those "all celebrities are stupid and air heads". Whatever…' she thought rolling her eyes. She noticed his aura was an emerald green colour. It had a cold feeling about it but felt like it was a facade.

"Now class let's start math with a pop quiz," said Kaho energetically. Everyone groaned.

--- Nearly the End of Class ---

"Wow, Sakura-san you did amazing on the pop quiz!" said Kaho handing her quiz back to Sakura. The whole class was talking and whispering mainly about Sakura.

"Thanks," Sakura smiled. She had received perfect. She secretly praised her private tutor in Hong Kong because she was horrible in maths before.

"Li-san, not up to the usual today," said Kaho while giving his back. He had gotten one wrong. He was annoyed that he could get worse then Sakura. To him girls, especially celebrities, were all air heads and make-up freaks, well except for his best friend's girlfriend who was almost as good as him in marks.

Sakura turned to the girl sitting beside her. "Hey… um… what's your name? You look familiar."

"My name is Tomoyo Daidouji, Kinomoto-san." Tomoyo blushed she couldn't believe the famous Sakura Kinomoto was talking to her, even though she was fairly familiar with celebrities.

"You can call me Sakura. I was wondering if we could hang out, since I don't really know that many people here," said Sakura.

"That's not a problem. It would be an honour and you can call me Tomoyo," she said smiling.

"Wait a minute. You're Tomoyo Daidouji of Daidouji Design! Don't you remember the runway show in Hong Kong last summer? I was one of your models." Tomoyo's eyes widened.

"That's right, how could I forget? You were the main model not just one of the models," Tomoyo replied with stars in her eyes. "You've got to model from me again. I had so many ideas coming to me the minute you stepped through the door. I never knew you had magic!"

Sakura laughed and nodded. Normally she would be reluctant to model but she loved Tomoyo's clothes and designs. Tomoyo's lavender aura was so comforting and sincere. She finally felt like she didn't have to hide anything. Syaoran watched the interaction between the 2 girls. He hadn't seen Tomoyo this excited since his best friend asked her out.

"Hey Syaoran, looks like Tomoyo has a new target instead of just you," said Eriol with a smile.

"Thank god," Syaoran sighed out of relief. "At least the new girl is good for something."

The bell rang, suddenly Sakura was surrounded with everyone in the class asking her for her autograph. Tomoyo got pushed out of the crowd while Sakura just smiled and signed hoping this would end soon. But it seemed that the more she signed the bigger the crowd got. She didn't want to use magic to stop the madness because she was afraid she could hurt them.
