Sugar Pink: Firstly, I'll like to apologize for my long absence. Secondly, I'll like to announce that…
I am completely rewriting this story, so please re-read everything.
I thought about taking the whole thing off and rewriting it that way. But then, I know I never really like it when other authors do that, so I've decided not to be a hypocrite.
So what I'll do is, I'll rewrite all four of the chapters and REPLACE it with the five chapters now and upload all four rewritten chapters all at once instead of one chapter at a time.
The plot line is has a few changes, but I am changing the style DRASTICALLY.
So for those who loved this story before, I assure you I'll try my best to make it all better for you. And for all those who never read this story, then, well, no harm in reading it now, right? Hehe.
Oh, and I'm almost sure that updates will be much more frequent because I have time now. No lies.
Oh and one more thing!! I used and found out that tilt is a medieval game where two knights use swords or something like that while riding horses. The goal is to knock the other knight off his horse. I can't believe it's actually a sport! If you read the story, then you'll understand why I am explaining this here and now.
PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD IMPROVE ON!! haha thanks!!!
And now, without further ado…let the story begin!

Monday, May 21, Homeroom
What do you think we'll be doing in Creative Writing class today? – Tomoyo
I don't know. But that sensei is always wacky. I mean "creative". But whatever, it's an easy class…as long as you have an imagination. And almost everyone has one of those. I think. Well, we do anyways! – Sakura
Maybe YOU do, Sakura, but I think my creative brain juices aren't flowing that well lately.
What are you talking about?! You aced the last assignment!!
Yeah, but that assignment was simply 'write a song that describes a certain person' and anyone can do THAT!
Bet it was Eriol you described, right?
Shut up. Anyways, I heard there's a project in today's class.
Are you sure?! A PROJECT?! In that class?!
Yes! Ok, homeroom is over! I'll see you in class, Sakura!.o.

Monday, May 21, Creative WritingA "class pal" project! That's what this Creative Writing project is about! Oh, my gosh, how old do they think we are?!
I'm pretty sure everyone has outgrown the whole mysterious-letter-exchange-with-someone-else-in-the-class-under-a-fake-name-and-you're-not-allowed-to-reveal-yourself-until-Summer-vacation process back in elementary.
Well, maybe not everyone. I mean, I'm sure someone as juvenile and immature as Syaoran Li hasn't.
Not that I hate him or anything. I'm way too mature for such childish grudges. I mean, who even remembers all those times he dipped my pigtails into paint jars in the fourth grade when he first came to Tomoeda from Hong Kong?
…
…
Okay, I'll admit it!! I, Sakura Kinomoto, hold a grudge against the immature brat Syaoran Li. See? I even put it in writing, here in my own diary.
But whatever, I got my revenge. I totally smacked a big handful of mud on his soft chocolate coloured brown hair back in fourth grade.
Then when he complained about it (quite loudly too), I simply told him that it's not like anyone can probably tell the difference since both his hair and the mud is brown and I don't understand why he's making such a big fuss about it. I mean hello, he slapped green paint on MY auburn hair. Isn't that much more obvious?
Tomoyo doesn't seem to find him annoying though. But I bet that's because Syaoran isn't as annoying to her as he is to me. I mean, Tomoyo is his best friend's girlfriend. Syaoran will never be a nuisance to her unless he wants to face his best friend Eriol's wrath.
Oh great. I can see that evil look in his amber eyes. Now he passed me a note. Doesn't he know that we're not allowed to pass notes in class by now?
I think Tai is looking over at you – SL
No, he's not. Now stop flicking notes over at me. I don't want detention. – SK
Whatever you say, Little Grassie
Stop calling me that!! Just because I have green eyes is NOT an excuse to call me by that awful nickname!
Still. I can't resist turning my head over a little just to see if Tai really is staring at me. He wasn't. Gosh that Syaoran Li is such a liar!
Ha!! You looked!!Shut up.
No, really, he WAS looking.
By this time, the sensei started going on and on about the class pen pal project that I can't even reply to Li's last note.
Oh well. Better get to work!!

Monday, May 21, Science
Okay, okay, I know I should be taking notes in class. I mean, this chemistry unit is pretty important.
But I just have to write this exciting news down!!
I THINK MY CLASS PENPAL IS TAI!!
Oh, my gosh, if it's true, then…okay, Sakura, you need to calm down. Don't get too excited. It's just a boy.
But one of the cutest boy in year 10 in Seijuu High and the object of my affections for the past year since he moved here!
Gosh, I hope Tai is my class pen pal!
My pen pal's nickname (we weren't told the real names) is Fellow Tilt. I know, it's such a strange name.
But Tai writes for the school newspaper, The Lantern, and he writes the funny jokes sections with Yamazaki.
Yamazaki is writing a comical series call The Joker's Hammer. It's about a boy who always tells hilarious lies, but his girlfriend will always find out about it and bonks him on the head with a hammer.
Thank God that it's a comic; I do feel sorry for that poor joker boy though.
Tai, however, writes this other comical series that's call The Knights and it's about a medieval knight named Sir Tilt-A-Lot who is famous for this sport call tilt. And there are always evil villains who challenge Sir Tilt-A-Lot to a game of tilt. The villain will always plan some evil mastermind plan, but Sir Tilt-A-Lot will always prevail in the end.
See?! It's perfect!! Fellow Tilt and Sir Tilt-A-Lot.
SEE THE CONNECTION?????

Monday, May 21, Study Hall
Dear Fellow Tilt,
I'm very glad to be writing to you on this project. I hope that we can be great friends! It's a shame I can't reveal my identity until the Summer Sunshine Carnival, but I'm sure we can get to know each other better through letters.
Well, as you know, I'm Starre, female, and am in your Creative Writing class! I am really into this class because it combines my favourite things: art, imagination, and writing. Oh, of course I like other things too, such as chocolates, fresh air, the colour pink, and cherry blossoms!
What are some of your favourite things?
I hope you don't find me terribly boring. It just that this is my first letter to you, and I'm not quite sure how to start it off, since I'm not sure what type of personality you have. I'm sure that once we get to know each other better through this project, our letters will be much more entertaining to read, since we will have each other's common interests in mind.
Write back soon!
Starre.
Tomoyo totally saw me writing that letter at lunch today and went all, "THAT is what you're writing to Tai?!"
So then I had to shush her and tell her to keep the whole Tai-is-most-likely-my-pen-pal thing down.
"Well, I can't make it obvious that I know that it's him!"
"True."
"I heard you guys have a project for Creative Writing. See, you two should have taken Intro to Computer Programming like I advised." Eriol said smugly, taking a seat next to Tomoyo.
Gosh, those two are inseparable!
Too bad Syaoran Li also came with Eriol from the lunch line. And he sat down across from me.
"I just took it because it sounded like an easy course." He said to Eriol's comment. "Little Grassie, will you stop writing in that diary? It's not safe to bring it to school you know. Someone might steal it as blackmail."
"Stop calling me that!!" I put down my fork at that stupid nickname.
"Yeah, stop picking on Sakura." Chiharu laughed jokingly as she too came back from the lunch line with Yamazaki.
"We all know she likes my attention." Syaoran grinned.
"In your dreams." I rolled my eyes.
And Syaoran is in my Study Hall period too. And he's in my previous class, PE too! He is in FOUR of my classes this year, out of eight, which are Creative Writing, Social Studies, PE, and Study Hall.
And he almost always beat me in PE when we run laps. Except today. Today I out ran him. Ha! Take that, Li!
I know I'm being a completely baby about this so-called rivalary with him, but it's almost like a tradition. We've always tried to out run each other ever since grade four.
Anyways, during Study Hall, we're all basically locked up in this room where we're suppose to study and stuff. It really isn't fair, since everyone seems to think that Study Hall basically means a free period. But nope, not in Seijuu High it's not.
I am supposed to be working on my Math homework, which is due, like, tomorrow. But it's not like the Study Hall sensei is harping at me about it. They don't really care whether you do your homework or not as long as you stay in the room and don't go running around the halls like a crazy lunatic or pack up your bags early and ditch school before 3:20 PM.
I went to The Box at lunch to drop off my letter. The sensei is supposedly going to deliver the letters to the students by putting the letters on their desk before class every morning, since the sensei is the only one who knows which person has which pen name.
Ooh! I also dropped by the newspaper office too and picked up the latest copy of The Lantern.

Math Contest Winners
By Tomoyo Daijouji
After months of studying, Tomoeda High's grade 10 students by the names of Syaoran Li, Eriol Hiirazagawa, and Kari Minoyama finally got what they deserved: awards of recognition for coming in a very high position for the recent Albert Einstein Math Contest.
Syaoran Li, Tomoeda High's number one soccer player and captain, came in first place for the A.E. Math Contest. After competing with seven other local schools in near by towns, we managed to get a few words with Syaoran after he got his medallion award.
"It was okay, really." Li said with a simple shrug of his shoulders. "I just entered the contest for fun . . . I had no intention of getting anything back . . . trust me, it was a big surprise when they told me I came in first place." Li laughed.
When asked how long did he study for this math contest, Li say he "simply tried his best" with a little review each night.
"Actually, I wasn't planning to study at all, since it was just for fun, but my parents got annoyed at that fact and forced me to study." Li replied with a laugh.
Next, is Eriol Hiiragazawa, coming in second place. As we all know, Eriol is our school's basketball captain, as well as vice president of the photography club.
"I tried my best, but I had simply entered because I enjoy math." Eriol replied. "I'm happy with my results of course. I think everyone can easily achieve this if they try their best."
Next, are Kari Minoyama, president of drama club and a player for the girl volleyball team. We congratulate Kari for coming in sixth place of the difficult A.E. Math Contest!
"I was aiming for at least third place," Kari had said. "But I guess sixth place isn't too bad. The exam was more difficult than I thought it would be."
And so there you have it, folks! Be sure to congratulates these students who had made Tomoeda High proud when you see them in the hallways!
Soccer Success
By Nicky McGill
Just the other day, Tomoeda's soccer team held their party at Town Hall, celebrating the prospect of another successful season.
"Everyone on the team did a great job," captain Li Syaoran commented with a smile. "We kicked Link High's butts last season!"
It was rumoured that the goalie Takato Jumira will be absent for the this year's soccer season due to personal disagreements with Li revolving a certain girl named Miyako. This rumour was intensified when Takato, who holds some credit to last year's strikingly successful season, was absent at the celebration victory party. When questioned about this, Coach Kingsley quickly dismissed the rumour.
"Syaoran and Takato was never in any fights. They're not upset with each other like the rumours I've heard floating around."
However, when asked why isn't Takato returning this year, Coach Kingsley was unable to provide a definite answer.
"It's really up to Takato to decide. Soccer is a sport that requires dedication and time. It's understandable that our players have decided that there are other areas of their lives that they wish to concentrate on more than soccer."
If you wish to join the winning team, then don't hesitate to join the soccer team! While team and positions have already been assigned this season, signup forms will be available next year in March. Check with the PE offices for further information.
Ask All About It
By Miss Know-It-All
Dear Miss Know-It-All
I have this problem. You see, I have this friend who is a guy and also my crush. I don't want to ruin the friendship I have, so should I tell him how I feel?
From Distress.
Dear Distress
Maybe instead of being all blunt and forward, you should try subtle hints with him. Such as, going "I had a wacky dream last night. We were couples." and give him a laugh to let him think that you think the idea is weird too. See how he responds. If he seems to like the idea, maybe he secretly has a crush on you too ;-)
Dear Miss Know-It-All
A guy I really like just asked me out. I've never been on a date before, so what should I do? Should I dress casual or formal? Should I wear my hair up or down? Please help me, I don't know what to do!!
Help!
Dear Help!
It's ok to feel nervous on your first date. But what you should know is to be yourself and don't try to be someone you're not. As for the dressing up part, be sure to find out where he is taking you so you can know which outfit you should wear. For example, you do NOT want to wear a skirt when he is taking you biking! Be yourself, be natural, and everything will go just fine.
