Chapter 1

"My lady, my lady," repeated a young girl wearing an apron, tapping a sleeping girl. "Lady!" she yelled, shoving her.

"Let's go diving..." mumbled the auburn haired sleepy girl. She yawned and slowly opened her eyes but closed them shut once the bright morning light blinded her.

"Diving would be dangerous for you, my lady Sakura, but I'm glad you're awake," said the black haired servant. "Your father wants to see you immediately at breakfast and right now it is past 9."

Sakura answered with a grunt and stretched her arms. She kicked her covers off and slid off the bed. "It feels so early," yawned Sakura as the maid took off her nightgown and put on a white cotton dress. The neckline was high but low enough to expose her collarbones and her sleeves were flowy. She wore long white gloves that extended to her elbows and her dress went down above her ankles.

"Well, my lady, if you sleep late you wake up late," said the servant, tightening Sakura's dress with a ribbon. "There, now please sit down so I can do your hair."

Sakura obeyed and sat down on her chair in front of her mirror and watched her servant brush and braid some of her hair. She applied white flower clips on the sides of her head and a finishing touch of spray. Sakura's silky brown hair flowed down her back but ended above her hips.

"Yuki," said Sakura, admiring herself in the mirror.

"Yes, my lady?" said the servant, Yuki.

"How did you become so good at hair styling?" asked the pleased Sakura.

"It just came to me, my lady. I love styling hair," answered Yuki, making sure Sakura was beyond perfection.

"You should start a business. You're excellent," commented Sakura.

Yuki beamed. "Thank you but I much rather prefer staying with you and making you look beautiful, my lady."

Sakura smiled and looked at the servant who was about the same age as her. "Yuki, you may call me by my first name when we're in private," she said, standing up.

"Thank you, my la- Sakura," said Yuki, with her hands clasped together in front of her.

"Much better," said Sakura. "I'll go to breakfast now so I'll call for you if I need anything."

"Yes, Sakura," said Yuki with a curtsy and left.

Sakura walked to her balcony and looked around. Far away she saw little kids running around playing and teenagers her age walking around chatting with their friends. Sakura sighed. "I wish I wasn't so darn rich! I wish I could be like them having fun," she said to herself. "It's so boring being me..."

She walked back into her room and opened the door. "Maybe today will be different," she said thoughtfully. She shrugged and made her way down the velvet red stairs and the gold chandelier to the breakfast room where her father awaited her.

"Hey Syaoran!" yelled a spikey black haired guy, running to a tall chestnut haired guy. They clasped hands and smirked at each other.

"How you been, Jon(sorry I couldn't come up with anything)?" asked Syaoran, looking in his coat for cigarettes.

"Pretty good, man," answered Jon, taking two from a carton and handing one to him.

"Spanks," said Syaoran, reaching in his pocket for a lighter. He puffed on his cigarette and looked at Jon. "What you doing tomorrow?"

"School," answered Jon after making several smoke rings.

"School? Why you going there for?"

"Dude, I heard there's going to be a new chick in school from Reed," answered Jon, smirking. "Heard she's rich and pretty cute too. Ya'll know what that means."

Syaoran laughed. "Yeah. You think you can get her?"

"Fuck yeah! I can get any chick," said Jon, flicking his cigarette so the ashes came off.

"Wanna bet?" asked Syaoran.

"You never saw her and you're betting already? Shoots," said Jon.

"Fifty," said Syaoran.

"Hundred," pushed Jon.

Syaoran smirked. "Two hundred."

"All right, bitch. It's on," said Jon satisfied, walking away.

"Yeah, later," said Syaoran, dropping his cigarette and stepping on it.

"Good morning, father," greeted Sakura cheerfully as she entered the dining room but stopped shocked as she saw the person sitting next to him.

"Ah, Sakura, I would like you to meet, Eriol Hiiragizawa," said Sakura's father, standing up.

The man had glasses and black hair but when shown in the light flashed dark blue, stood up also and bowed to Sakura. "Good morning, Sakura," greeted Eriol politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Sakura stared at Eriol then at her father. 'Not again,' she thought remembering all the gentlemen her father presented to her hoping that she would find a liking to them so she would marry. "Good morning, Eriol," she said to him, trying to be nice. She walked to her seat next to her father and across from Eriol and sat down.

Her father started talking about Eriol's occupation and his accomplishments as to impress Sakura but Sakura just stared boredly at her father but smiled at Eriol in good manner. 'This is sooo boring,' she thought as she ate some of her breakfast. She wasn't listening to anything her father was saying but what her father was saying now caught her attention. "Your school is having some problems so you will not be able to go there for a while until they are fixed so I enrolled you in Tomoeda High(is there such thing? I don't know). I made sure that your teachers were the best and your desks are cleaned and polished and you have bodyguards.."

"Dad!" exclaimed Sakura, happily. 'At last, to be normal!' she thought.

"Yes daughter?" asked her father, giving her a face to watch her manners.

"That will not be necessary. I'm sure everything will be just fine," said Sakura, realizing her unladylike manner.

"Are you sure? I want everything to be the best for you," said her father.

"Yes, I'm sure. Thank you," answered Sakura, sweetly. "Now will you excuse me father."

"Yes, Sakura," said her father.

"It's nice to meet you, Eriol," said Sakura, giving her hand.

"Same to you," answered Eriol, giving her hand a kiss. "I hope to see you soon."

"Yes," agreed Sakura, not really wanting to. "Good day." She saw her father nod in approval and she smiled at them both.

Sakura walked out and when she was out of eye contact, she ran up the stairs and ran into her room. "Yeah!" she yelled and flopped on her bed. "I can't wait to go to school!"

"What's the matter, my lady?" asked Yuki, running into Sakura's room, exhausted.

"Oh, it's no matter Yuki," answered Sakura, sitting up quickly. "And remember it's Sakura now. Except of course in front of my father for he will not approve."

"I'm sorry, my- Sakura," said Yuki.

"It's all right. How about we both go shopping for my clothes for school tomorrow?" asked Sakura, happily.

"Me? With you? Would it be all right?" asked a worried Yuki.

"Of course! Don't worry Yuki. I'll just tell my father that I wanted company and you to hold my bags but I actually won't let you carry my bags. I want to carry them myself. I want to be independent!" exclaimed Sakura, getting up from her bed.

Yuki was surprised by Sakura's words. "I don't think that would be proper, Sakura," she said, feeling strange by calling her mistress by her first name.

"I don't care right now because I have to be normal. I'm going to a public school for heaven's sake!" said Sakura, twirling around.

Yuki gasped. "Your father enrolled you in a public school?"

"Yes, Yuki. Now let's go!" yelled Sakura, grabbing Yuki by the hand who grabbed Sakura's purse in time.
