Summary: Syaoran, despite the fact that he's a total hottie, had never been in love and thinks it's better that way. Sakura had been hurt so much before that she deprives herself from ever loving again. Will they be able to change each other's hearts?

Prologue: Loveless

Voices of the female population echoed as a piece of bottle spun and halted in front of a chestnut brown haired boy, his eyes piercing amber, his smile a treasure.

"C'mon Syaoran! Will it be truth? …Or dare?" another boy asked in a mischievous tone of voice. His hair was black and spikey while his eyes were kind aquamarine. He was the boy Syaoran's best friend and he was as excited as all the others to put Syaoran in a hot seat.

"Truth," Syaoran replied after a few seconds of false thinking.

The girls whooned even louder as Syaoran's best friend tried to hush them all up.

"Okay Mr. Li Syaoran…" the boy started.

Who is your crush?… Brother… I bet that's exactly what he's gonna say… Syaoran thought playfully as he waited for the his best friend's typical question.

"Who is your crush!" he asked excitedly like it was a question very seldom asked in a game of truth or dare.

Syaoran sighed as he looked at the girls' excited faces and dreamy expressions. "Come closer and I'll whisper the name to you," he started with a grin, instructing the small group of people to lean closer, which they all did gladly. "It's…"

Everyone held on to their breath as they waited for a familiar name, some even hoping that it would be theirs.

"No… One…" Syaoran continued in a low voice yet still making it clear what his answer was – he has a crush on no one. He was as well expecting a loud moan or a thud of falling disappointed eager listeners the moment he rendered his reply.

Though there was no moan and all silence, he did accomplished making them falling with a loud thud. Their were so shocked and disappointed they complained right after processing the unbelievable reality that the hottie Syaoran did not have a crush on any of the girls he had met.

"This is absurd!" some of them shouted. "I cannot believe this! Still nothing!" another complained.

Syaoran stood up and bowed insultingly before walking away with a smile on his face and his hands in the pocket of his pants. I cannot believe they all fell for that! he thought with a slight chuckle. Don't they ever learn? I already told them, I don't believe in love. And even if it is real, it's not for me… he added a little seriously.

I was alone not long ago without a love to call my own
I was afraid and thought it wasn't meant for me
I didn't need anybody else that was what I would tell myself
And I believed that that was how it would be

"Here goes nothing…" an auburn haired girl told herself with a deep breath before walking into the hallway from the stairs.

"Kinomoto!" a voice called out as a sound of rushing foot steps echoed in the hall.

The girl sighed before turning to whoever called with a warm, morning smile. "Hey," she greeted him faintly.

"H-Happy Birthday!" the boy exclaimed as he presented a bouquet of red roses.

"Thank you," she muttered as she received the bouquet and continued walking through the hall.

After a few more steps, her named once again echoed as footsteps followed her yet again. "Sakura!" it called out.

With another sigh her fake smile on her face, she turned slowly, the bouquet making it more difficult to move. "Yes?" she greeted him, trying her best not to sound too annoyed.

"I just wanna greet you happy birthday," the boy told her sweetly as he handed her a box of expensive looking chocolates. "I bought you your favorite ones," he boasted a little, hoping it would grant him a kiss or two.

"Thank you…" Sakura replied as she received the box of chocolates and continued on with her walk to class, leaving the young man disappointed for not receiving a kiss.

Sakura continued walking through the hall and had reached the stairs. She went on up the stairs and into the hall of the next floor. Sighing before taking the first step, she managed to keep the things she had from falling.

"Sakura!" her voice echoed again as she passed by the first classroom.

She halted tiringly and smiled as she turned to the one who called. "Hey," she muttered with a sigh.

"Happy birthday," the boy greeted her, handing over a Blue Magic gift bag.

"T-Thanks…" she barely managed to stammer in.

Sakura went on her way and sighed in relief as soon as she reached the door of her room. At last! she remarked to herself. She was about to open the door when another voice called out her name.

"Kinomoto!" it echoed irascibly in her ears.

Don't they get tired of my name? Sakura thought annoyingly as she turned to the boy with another one of her stocked fake smiles, personally intended for emergency irritating situations like the one at hand.

"Let me help you with those," the boy offered as he opened the door. He assisted Sakura with all the wonderful gifts he had just received and placed it on her seat just near the door.

"Thanks for your help," Sakura told him warmly as she bowed in front of him, showing her gratitude. Frankly, she was really happy that the boy had helped her unlike the others who simply gave her the gift and left her to take them to her room all an her own.

"It was nothing," the boy answered sheepishly. "Oh! Before I forgot…" he snapped as he searched for something in his pocket. "Happy birthday!"

"Thank you…" Sakura replied as the boy handed her a rectangular box.

"You're welcome! Bye!" the boy rushed out of the room.

Sakura slumped on her seat and sighed tiringly. What a way to start my morning… she complained to herself.

"Happy birthday my dear best friend!" an indigo haired girl with amethyst eyes greeted as she slumped on the empty seat beside her, handing over her gift.

"Thank you Tomoyo!" Sakura, for the first time, exclaimed as she mean it and hugged her.

Tomoyo simply smiled and hugged her back. "So… Nice presents you have there…" she started to tease her about the expensive gifts at her feet. "Don't you like any of the guys that's courting you?"

"Don't start…" Sakura warned her playfully with a glare of annoyance as all the things that happened flashed back to her mind.

"What are you all pissed off about? You should be happy that many guys like you! Girls would give anything to be in your shoes," Tomoyo pointed out.

"Then let them," Sakura replied proudly.

Tomoyo sighed at Sakura's stubborn answer.

"Look, I just don't believe in things like love," Sakura explained to her the obvious.

"I know," Tomoyo replied.

Love's a lie... it's simply about getting hurt and broken. I'll be doing better alone, Sakura thought to herself.

I had been badly hurt before ever since then I would ignore
A chance for love - I thought it was a lie
I learned to rely upon myself and I thought I was doing well
Until you came up with something I just cant deny
