Chapter 1

By: LiL DuDeTtE

A girl stood in front of a store window, looking directly at an object. Her light honey brown hair, which was tied in a high ponytail, swayed slightly as she moved. Going in the store she asked the sales clerk to see the object.

It was absolutely gorgeous. It was a gold chain; the pendant was a little pink gem, shaped as a heart. As she held it in her hand, she could only dream of having it. She could never ask her father to buy it for her. It was way to expensive.

The salesclerk looked at the girl. "Its lovely isn't it?" The girl nodded, her emerald eyes looked sadly at the jewelry in her hands. The saleslady knew the girl, for the teenager came every other day to see it.

"Sakura?"

The girl turned around, seeing a girl her age holding shopping bags.

"Hey, Tomoyo. You done shopping?"

"Yup, lets go. I am like so tired."

Sakura looked at her friend. Yes, it was time to go. As the two went out of the jewelry store, Tomoyo started to talk about the prom.

But Sakura was too busy thinking of how to buy the necklace.

-The Academy-

Sakura Kinomoto attended Seijuu Academy. She was very well like, for she was always kind and a true friend to everyone. Although she was not very good in school, her best subjects were always P.E. and art. They only school club she was in, was of course gymnastics and was also in cheerleading.

Everyday she would attend this school. Wearing the schoolgirls' uniform. A silky dark brown tank top, with black lining, that was tight and showed her curves, and a tight black skirt ending by her thighs. On the upper right over her chest, was a little pocket with a black and brown sword. The Knights… That was what the school was known for.

"Hey, Sakura!"

The emerald eye girl turned around, she saw her best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, coming towards her. Her peers also loved her best friend, however, she was a bit more popular than Sakura. Her violet hair matched well with her amethyst eyes. Her grades were above average, and attracted many boys. She was very talented in singing, her voice sounded heavenly. Her pale white skin, gave her a look of an angel.

Sakura, at times was jealous of her friend. For she was rich, well educated, and beautiful. While she was just average. She had no real talent, for doing gymnastics wasn't a real talent. It was a thing she can do. She just practiced doing that. That was no talent, just practice.

While Tomoyo was born with her voice, heavenly and pure, strong and bold. She did not have to practice to maintain it. All she had to do was sing.

Sakura sighed, sometimes others were born special.

"Prom!"

Sakura shook her head, bring her back from reality. What was her friend saying?

"What?"

Tomoyo laughed out, her friend was not paying attention again.

"Lost in your thoughts again? I was talking about prom! It is a couple of months away."

Sakura nodded. "Yeah, sorry about that. Prom is a couple months away? I don't think I will be going…."

The amethyst eye girl dropped her mouth open. She was not going?

"Sakura?" she whined out. "Come on, prom is one of the best moments in our lives!!!

You have to go! Why aren't you going?"

Sakura thought about the question. Hoping she could get out of it. "I don't have a dress…"

"We are going to shop for your dress!"

"I don't know how to do my make-up…. My hair is going to be a mess…"

"We are going to a salon!"

"I don't have a date…"

"Its like months away! There is still time!!!"

Sakura groaned. How could she tell her friend that she does not want to go to prom, because she does not want to go at all? She thought of prom as a stupid event of high school. Where a girl spend most of her time getting ready. Buying an expensive dress, looking right, and most of all a date. The first two would cost a lot of money, knowing how expensive things are nowadays. She couldn't ask her dad for the money, for he works, and she doesn't at all. Maybe she should have started to work at a part-time job a long time ago…

"What do you say, Sakura?"

Tomoyo looked pleading at her. She really wanted her friend to go with her, for it was going to be the few moments of her life where she really wanted to remember her bye, for the two were going to separate colleges.

"Fine…"

A boy with combed chestnut color hair stood afar. Standing beside a classroom door, looking towards the halls. Watching two girls, well one, chatting to her friend.

Pushing his glass upwards he straightened his uniform. Similar to the girls' uniform, but instead of a tank top it was a polo shirt, and instead of a tight black skirt, it was black pants, with a matching belt.

He watched as he saw his crush talking. Watching as her waist-length hair swayed as she walked, her skirt tight around her thighs, and as she held her books against her chest; longing to be them. Blushing at that thought, he didn't even notice they were walking to where he was.

"So, I was like, Sakura- are you listening to me?"

Sakura was not listening at all, for she just saw Syaoran blushing. It was quite funny actually, for he kind of looked, odd…. She tried to hold in her laugh, hoping he did not hear at all. She looked towards Tomoyo and jerked her head towards him.

The amethyst eye girl, looked, and laughed.

"Hey, Li."

Syaoran looked up shyly at the girl who called out his name. Blushing a deeper red, he replied back. Then running away.

The two girls laughed as the boy ran away. For it was always the same routine everyday. The boy would watch them, they see him, say hi, and he runs away.

"My, gosh, Li is so funny."

"I know, quite odd, but funny."

"Are you thinking of going to the dance with him?"

Sakura watched Tomoyo laugh, then saying he was not exactly his type. Looking for a man who was more of an outgoing, dominant, and gorgeous.

Sakura felt pity towards Syaoran knowing he liked Tomoyo a lot. Thinking of how hurt he was going to be, for rumor had it. That he was going to ask Tomoyo to prom.

"So…. Ya think Eriol has a date yet?"

The auburn hair girl ears perked up a bit. Eriol Hiirigazawa was very well known. For he is a great soccer player, nice, and the eye of every girl. Did Tomoyo like him too?

"Why? Do you like him?" Sakura hoped that she didn't. Knowing that if her friend did, she would not have a chance to compete for the soccer player. For he was going to fall for her charm, and never giving her a chance.

"Oh, I don't know… Why? Do you like him?"

Sakura could feel the heat on her face. "N-no. N-not at all…" She groaned mentally.

Tomoyo eyed her. "Well, if you don't like him…. Maybe I do…I mean, we do have a similar status in this school." Giving a taste of popularity status. Also giving her a bit of attitude.

Sakura's world shattered. Her friend like him. Her friend was killing her chance. So this is how she wants to play. Popularity vs. Average.

-Sakura's Home-

Sakura crashed on her bed, crying her eyes out. Tomoyo liked Eriol? This was not fair! She liked him first, remembering the day he first arrived.

-Flashback

Sakura was running late for school. "Stupid onii-chan! Supposed to wake me up…." she yelled out to herself. First, no one woke her up, thanks to her brother. She rushed as she tried to make her uniform on, and then suddenly, she didn't catch the bus. It would take her ten minutes to get to school on foot! She only had five minutes to get there!

"I am going to kill him!"

She ran as quickly as she could. Hoping to get there in half the time. 'Please, let me get there.' Running as fast as she could, she came along a streetlight. Looking left and right, she noticed that there was no car in sight.

"Please, don't let me get caught."

The next thing that happened, she ran across the street, getting a few more blocks of school left. But before she reached the other side, a black sports car jerked to a stop. A loud screech was heard, and Sakura screamed out.

As the car stop and boy opened the car door, obviously worry about the girl.

"Are you o-" but before he could ask if she was all right, the girl exploded. "Hey, you idiot! Watch where you were going. Pedestrian walking here! I could have been killed!" She lectured him about being stupid speeding and not seen pedestrians walking. But as she yelled at him, she failed to notice he was wearing a similar uniform like hers.

The blue hair boy laughed out, knowing she was the same school as him. Also, school had already started. Sakura asked what he was laughing at, for if he actually ran over her, death was a serious matter.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

"You do know we are late for school? Right?"

Sakura looked at her watch, cursing at the sight. School began twelve minutes ago.

"Look at what you did! We are late for school!" She stopped. 'We?' "Wait a minute, we? What the hell do you mean by we?" Sakura looked at the boy in front of her. He was wearing the boys' uniform. Cursing again, she was having a bad day.

-Academy-

Sakura reliantly agreed for the ride to school, from the unknown boy. But she needed to get to school. "Damn it, I'm late!" She grumbled and cursed in the car, but as soon they reached the Academy, she ran out, slinging her bag over shoulders.

Opening the doors of the academy a hand closed it shut. "What the fuck?" Turning around, she found the boy again. "What the hell are you doing? I am late as it is already!" Carefully looking at him, a tint of red was seen.

He was gorgeous!

His spiked blue hair looked soft and thick. His blue eyes looked at her, and his smile made butterflies in her stomach. Guessing that she did not take a good look at him, (cause of the cursing, yelling, etc.) she failed to notice.

"I need you help, where is the administration office?"

-End of flashback-

Sakura cried. If Tomoyo was challenging her. Let the games begin…
