Chapter 1

What can I say about a girl I loved since I was ten…. That I love the way she laughs at me when I commit mistakes, the way she fusses over silly things and even the way she cries over some sad late night show…

Sakura was my best friend and I have known her since we were just little kids. She knew all about my secrets like a was an heir for a really rich clan and my mom Yelan secretly hide me so that the elders of the clan won't force me to train and torture me but there's one deepest darkest secret I kept from her … I did not reveal my true feelings. I love her. I love her not only because she's pretty and smart but also the way she laughs and make me smile. She has a different perspective in life than I am. She's a happy go lucky person and sees everything at a positive light. I could still remember the first time we met…..

I was five years old then. It was a sunny morning. I think it was the saddest yet the happiest day of my life. Eriol, my neighbor, playmate, best friend and was like a brother to me move out to a neighboring state because his father got promoted and they need to transfer near his job. I still remember how I refuse to cry in front of Eriol, but started crying after he left.

The next day as I climbed up our tree house where Eriol and I used to play together, I saw a moving truck coming down the street. I watched as it approaches the house next to us and there was a family wagon following it. When it already stopped the family came out. I was about to look away when came out the loveliest girl I've ever seen. It was like a childhood crush.

She was also five years old at that time but an early age it shows beauty. She had long straight hair that reach almost to her waist. She had fair complexion and eyes which has the color of emeralds. I was really mesmerized by those eyes since my favorite color was green. Staring to her eyes would make a man lose his heart, its like a galaxy and once you stepped in you can never escape. It was never ending.

In my mind I was thinking not to be friends with her since I would became like a traitor to Eriol. That's how I feel at the moment since he just left and now I am hunting for his replacement. But then I still continued to watch her and suddenly she looked up and saw me. I want to duck and hide from embarrassment but it was too late. I'm just glad that she smiled and waved her hand. I think I lose my mind because I waved back and then in amazement I saw her running towards the tree house. So went to the edge of the ladder.

"Would you like to come up?" I asked her.

"May I?" she answered.

So I helped her climbed up and reached the top she then turned to me..

"By the way my name is Sakura Kinomoto. What's yours?" she asked.

"Cherry Blossoms? I, Uh, My name is Li Syaoran but then you can call me Syaoran." I answered.

"Gotcha. Well, I like your name." She looked around the tree house and said "Hey! Your tree house is neat!" she smiled.

"T-Thanks! Eriol and I made this. This is our secret hideout so don't tell everybody. Okay?" I tell her.

" Sure. I promise. By the way. Who is Eriol? Can I also meet him?" She asked me again.

"He is my buddy, my best friend and he was like a brother to me. We used to goof around a lot, play ball and go biking together. He just left yesterday and that house you were staying now was their old house. I kind of miss him. You know?" I stated.

"That's so sad.." I could see tears forming from the side of her eyes..

"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry now. We still keep in touch." I tried to calm her down.

I think it enlighten her mood because she smiled again and was sort of excited.

"Well, I'm here now we could do things you do with Eriol and I can be your new bestfriend too. I could learn how to play ball and and I have my bicycle so we can go biking together. I never had a boy best friend before so it could be exciting to finally have one. Now how does that sound to you?" she smiled her eyes glowing.

I could not reject her now? Can I? So then I eat me words and became friends with her.

"Well that sounds good enough" was my reply.

She then held her hand and said "it's a deal then."

"Yeah,it's a deal."

And that's how it started…
