Stars On Ice:
Prologue
Sakura sat class as the teacher rambled on about Japanese history. Not that she cared or anything. She was thinking about more important things. Like Li Showrun.
"Sakura! Watch out!" Li wrapped his arms around her and they slide on the ice, out of dangers way………
"Sakura. Wake up. We have to seal the card." He shook her out of the darkness, yet when she regained consciousness, he still held her in his arms. She felt his warmth threw her uniform. It felt so warm and inviting.
Sakura sighed at the memory of their last card captor: The Freeze. They had both saved each other that day. It was something she would never forget.
The bell rang, taking Sakura out of her daydream. Madison walked up to her desk. "Come on! We have to go!" She said.
Sakura frowned. "Go where?"
Madison laughed. "To sign you up for skating lessons, silly!"
Sakura gasped. "Oh! I forgot!" She grabbed her notebook, stuffed it in her backpack and walked out of the classroom, Madison by her side.
Li left history smiling to him self. He watched as Sakura practically ran out of the class with Madison. I wonder where she's going in such a hurry?
Li began to think about that time yesterday….
"Li! Look out!" Sakura gave Li a shove back and was slammed in the side by the Freeze.
"Sakura!" Li cried as she went sailing through the air. She landed hard.
Li growled at the card. That was going too far!!
Li sighed as he remembered how they had worked together to bring in the Freeze card. He carefully took it out and glanced at it.
"Li!" An annoying voice said behind him. Meilin Rae came over and wrapped her arms around his neck. I hate it when she does that!
"You ready?" She asked. "We have to go sign up for ice skating lessons today."
Li grimaced. Too bad I can't use the Freeze card to freeze her mouth shut! LI thought. He didn't need lessons. He'd already gotten a crash course. "Learning under pressure," He had said after the adventure.
"Meilin. I don't need…"
"Li!! What is your problem!! Now lets go!" Meilin grabbed his arms and basically dragged him to the sign up line at the auditorium. "We have to sign up before the classes fill up!"
Li wrenched his arm free from Meilin's hold and walked off to think. He was interrupted by a beautiful voice. He hid around the corner as Sakura came along, with Madison at her side.
"So did you get in?" Madison asked.
Sakura nodded and smiled, sending shivers down Li's spine. "I got a teacher named…" She looked at her paper. "…Mrs. Miller." She said. Li glued himself to the side of the wall, so Sakura wouldn't see him as they continued to walk away.
Li breathed a sigh of relief when they were finally gone. He walked back to Meilin with his hands in his pockets. Meilin was up at the sign-in sheet, signing them up.
The registrar smiled. "Would you like any teacher in particular? You're one of the first students and get to choose." She explained.
Meilin thought for a moment. "Umm…"
"Mrs. Miller!" Li basically shouted.
Both Meilin and the registrar looked strangely at him. Li smiled, trying to cover up his embarrassment. "Uh…I heard she was a great teacher."
Meilin shrugged and turned to the woman. "Mrs. Miller then."
The woman nodded and wrote down their names on a separate sheet of paper. "You got it. Thank you."
Meilin nodded and started to walk off, with a dreaming Li behind. I'm going to be in her class! I wonder if we can be partners. Then a thought occurred to him. Meilin. Oh no. She'll probably turn everything we do into a competition. Just like she always does.
Li wasn't watching where he was going and ran into someone. They fell down on top of each other. "Oww!" He said. He looked up and saw bright green eyes staring back.
"Li?" Sakura said.
"Sakura! Sorry! What are you doing here!?" He asked.
She smiled. "I signed up for ice skating lessons. Who knows when I'll need them…again."
Li smiled. "What about Madison? Is she taking lessons too?" Please say no.
Sakura shook her head. "She'll be taking private lessons. I'll be surprised if she doesn't own a skating rink by the end of the year." Sakura joked.
Meilin stomped over. "Well we signed up for lessons too! So you better watch out!" She said as she grabbed onto Li's arm again. I've got to tell her to stop that!
Sakura smiled anyways. "Well. Who did you get?" She asked.
"We got Mrs. Miller. The best teacher there is. Isn't that right Li?" Meilin said, trying to impress them.
Sakura smiled. "Really! That's who I got too!"
Meilin's mouth fell opened. But for once, she was speechless.
"Li? What did you hear about Mrs. Miller?" Sakura asked.
Uh oh. Li thought. "I…uh…"
"Come on!" Meilin said dragging him away. "We have to go home!"
Li let him self get dragged away, but kept a steady gaze on Sakura. She waved. "Bye! See you tomorrow at five! That's our first lesson!" She yelled at them.
Li waved back and smiled. Yah. Tomorrow. I can't wait.
