Sakura Who?
By Sunel
She has everything. The looks, the status, the swarm of guys swooning at her feet, the magic and the cards - but don't get me wrong. I love my older sister. She means the world to me. I just wish that once, just once... I could be like her.
But that wasn't going to happen.
I heard a car come to a screeching halt and ran to the window - but I already knew who it was before I even got there. The coolest guy in our school, the biggest heartthrob, the sweetest guy I'd ever met... my sister's boyfriend. And of course I had the biggest crush on him - well no, not crush - it was something more...
He shook his head cutely to get the hair out of his eyes (oh how I wish I could brush it away for him...), and walked up to our door, pressing the bell. I immediately heard a shriek from my sister and a loud "I'm not ready yet!" This was the routine six days of the week, every morning before school.
"I'll get the door," I told her as I went down the stairs. My heart skipped a beat as my hand clutched the doorknob - he was on the other side. I closed my eyes and flung the door open. "Hi, Syaoran," I said softly, barely above a whisper.
"Hi Sakura," he smiled sweetly at me, his dark hair blowing wildly on this windy Monday morning. "I guess Tomoyo isn't ready yet?" he asked, looking around.
"Not yet," I said, smiling ruefully, "you know how she is in the mornings." Syaoran laughed and nodded.
Just then, she came down the steps, dressed in a soft, lacy purple top, and comfortable blue jeans. She looked ravishing, as always. Syaoran brushed past me and took her into his arms for a morning hug and a peck on the cheek. "Good morning, Tomoyo-chan," he smiled.
"Morning Syaoran-kun!" she exclaimed. "Thanks for picking me up today, I swear that car of mine is always breaking down!" She glanced at me, almost as an afterthought. "Hey Sakura, why don't you come along with us? It's a long way to school."
I smiled but shook my head. There was only so much of their together-ness that I could handle without falling into pits of depression. "It's alright, I'm gonna skate there," I said, pointing to my rollerblades.
"Alright then, you be careful Sakura-chan, and we'll see you at school," she said, giving me a quick embrace.
Syaoran waved at me as they left. "See ya at school Sakura-chan." I nodded and gave a little sigh. It was going to be a long day.
x.o.x.o.x.o. ;)I know it's really short so far, just wanted to testout the storyline. I hope you guys liked it, I know its a bit unorthodox, since Tomoyo is the Card Captor and also Syaoran's girlfriend... but things get better! This is just a trial, and if enough people like it, I'll continue with the story. If you have any suggestions, it would be extra helpful ;) Thanks for reading, and please review! x.o.x.o.x.o.
