Chapter One – New School
Sakura Kinomoto was going to a new school. It was to be Seiju High, right alongside her older brother…
And she wasn't happy with it. So, as usual, her alarm clock got turned off and she was…
'AAAAHHHHHH! I'm LATE!'
Toya chuckled as he heard Sakura's frantic attempts to get ready. Even if Sakura wasn't the least happy about attending a new school, she was anxious to get good grades. Then he remembered what he should be doing and served her breakfast while asking his father, 'Ten seconds?' to which Fujitaka nodded and added, 'Fifteen.'
Toya smiled; another ten dollars to add to his collection. He started counting. 1, 2, 3… He breakfast she served… 10!
'BREAKFAST PLEASE!' She shouted as she screeched to a halt beside the kitchen table. She waited expectantly as Toya smirked. It was only after Fujitaka had handed her brother ten dollars that she noticed it was already served.
Toya sat down opposite her saying, 'You get faster everyday, kaju.' He promptly received a kick for this.
Sakura wolfed down her breakfast, as usual and collected her new schoolbag. Toya tossed the dishes into the dishwasher and murmured to his father before joining her and getting on his bike.
Sakura got into her rollerblades and followed him, yelling as she went, about how unfair it was for him to leave without her. Toya just rolled his eyes.
He had been a student at Seiju High for quite a while, and it was his last year. Sakura had just finished middle school. He wasn't happy that for the two years after he had graduated, she'd be alone at school. But that thought was lost as he rounded the corner and saw Yukito. Sakura waved, though it was devoid of her usual enthusiasm.
'What's wrong Sakura?' The boy asked, giving her a huge grin. Her smile paled in comparison but she managed to sound normal and answered, 'It's school.' Yukito laughed at that and joined their ride to school.
'It's your first day at Seiju High today, am I right?' Sakura nodded.
'If only I had gone on the actual first day of school it would have been okay… but no. I had to go to a different school first. It's half-way through the year!' She groaned for added effect. 'I'll be a nobody as soon as I set foot through that door.'
Yukito's eyebrows raised and he gave her a skeptical look. 'I'm sure you'll fit in,' was all he said, before talking to Toya.
Sakura sighed. That's what everyone said. They were wrong, of course; there was like a set of rules to the hierarchy of school. Sakura, being so stubborn as she was, was sure to fit into the classification of a geek. If she had come earlier, she would have known who were the geeks and picked out a few nice ones to hang around with. As it was, she was late, and as such, at the mercy of all the evil people who were bound to be lurking. Yukito and Toya just didn't understand.
The school gates came much too quickly. Toya and Yukito told her they had to put their bikes away and went around to a completely different part of the school then the one she was supposedly 'supposed' to be in.
It was huge. That was the only word she could think of to describe it. Okay, not true… but still.
She gulped and went in, breathing heavily. This was going to be hard…
As soon as she entered she knew it was a good quality school. Why hadn't Toya told her this? Inside there was lots of old architecture and there was at least ten storeys to just this part of the school. How the hell was she supposed to get around this? How could she make any friends?
Dammit.
There were people there, that was for sure. Lots of people. However, they were all in their little groups and none of them had noticed her. None. Well… maybe that was a good thing.
She looked at the map Toya had given her yesterday and groaned. Sure, it was a good map, just like he'd said. Unfortunately, it just proved it was going to be hard to get around. The page that she'd just looked at was the ground floor – where she was now – and all of the rooms had fancy names like; CN 267. What was that all about?
She felt a weight on her shoulder and turned around instantly. 'AAHHH!' She instantly regretted yelling. She had attracted too much unwanted attention. But she saw who was behind her and let out a sigh of relief.
It was a brown-haired girl with trendy glasses and a great smile on her face. Her hair was beautiful and soft looking…
Sakura's expression turned into a dazzling smile she had tried to perfect for years. It worked. The girl beamed at her.
'HI! I'm Naoko! You must be new? What's your name?'
'Sakura…' Sakura said quietly, knowing that being shy was the way to go until you had placed everyone and decided just who you wanted to hang out with.
'Sakura! Oooh… That's such a pretty name… I'm jealous… Anyway, nice to meet you! What class are you in?' '…I think it says 1C…'
'1C? Sure! I'm in 1E. I'll show you where you have to go… do you have your time-table?'
Fifteen minutes later Naoko had showed her where most of the rooms she needed to know were and they were back where they had started. Naoko wasn't smiling anymore but she was still positive. It was nice to be around her… Sakura wondered whether fitting in would be so hard after all. That is, until a snide voice pierced her thoughts.
'Four-eyes. What are you doing in my way? I thought I told you to keep away from me. Just who do you think you are?' When Naoko mumbled something in return the voice added a famous, 'What-ever,' to the statement.
Sakura turned around slowly.
There was an obviously popular girl picking on Naoko. It was pretty easy to see at least one of the reasons why she was popular. She was easily one of the most beautiful girls Sakura had ever seen and her hair was the most pretty shade of black. It was probably dyed.
The girl noticed her. 'Oh. She that's what you were doing.' She raised an eyebrow at Sakura and when Sakura just tilted her head, she came over. 'Who are you?' Sakura really didn't like this girl.
'Sakura.' She answered without hesitation, annoyed that this black-haired beauty had just insulted a girl she had wanted to call a friend.
'Hm… New. I'm Tomoyo. Daijoudi. What class are you in?'
'1C.' Tomoyo Daijoudi smirked. 'You're in my class then. Stay away from four-eyes here, she's just annoying. Do you know where you're supposed to go?'
Sakura's anger was turning into confusion. This girl thought that she could just take her away from Naoko?
'Naoko showed me, thanks.'
Tomoyo stiffened and gave Sakura a searching look. 'But she wouldn't have shown you what I know,' she said, in her prissy voice as she shot Naoko a death glare. Sakura didn't like the sound of that.
'I'm fine thanks. Naoko was just going to show me outside. It was nice to meet you.' She bowed. It took a while for Tomoyo to respond but she did so, with a nod of her head.
Naoko had walked over to Sakura and was staring at her with admiration. 'Wow! You… you snubbed Tomoyo!' Sakura didn't see the big deal. 'They're just a bunch of bitches.'
As soon as she said it she regretted it. Tomoyo's head had just happened to turn in her direction. Along with all her cronies. Naoko's eyes grew to the size of saucers. It seemed to go in slow motion. As soon as she'd said it, all the eyes in probably the whole building had locked onto her. Tomoyo walked towards her, a fire in her eyes. Sakura just stood there, daring her to do anything.
And so she did.
The black-haired girl slapped her. Hard. So, flouting all the teenage 'rules', Sakura slapped back, even harder. And Tomoyo pulled on her hair.
Tomoyo's cronies started hitting her too but Sakura hardly felt anything. The only thing she thought about was punching Tomoyo's soft skin and giving her the worst scars of her life. Although she had just met Tomoyo, the attitude was all too familiar. Sakura had been really hurt by those sorts of people. So she took it all out on Tomoyo.
After a few minutes, she became aware of a few laughs. She rolled out of Tomoyo's range and looked over at the direction it was coming from.
There was a group of boys, four particularly good-looking ones.
Losers, she thought and returned her attention to Tomoyo. However, Tomoyo was up on her feet and completely ignoring Sakura, yelling at her friends to fix her hair up and things like, 'Do my hair! Do my hair!'
Naoko offered a hand to Sakura and smiled, saying, 'Look what you did to Tomoyo! Wow! Those punches! Sakura, that was amazing!' Then, seeing how puzzled Sakura looked at the scene of Tomoyo frantically smoothing her hair, she added, 'It's because of them,' and pointed to the boys.
Sakura groaned for what seemed like the tenth time that morning. It figured that a girl like Tomoyo would be into boys.
Thankfully, Sakura wasn't. They were all stupid and unfortunately they were heading towards the group of girls.
So she did what any normal, stubborn teenage girl would have done. She crossed her arms and fixed a frown on her face. She gave anything in sight a death glare and stated to Naoko, in a loud voice, 'I think people that have black hair are weird.' Three of the 'good-looking' boys had black hair. But one didn't. So she came up with something else. 'And people who fake their eye colours to make themselves stand out more are really annoying. I mean, who has amber eyes? That's just so stupid.'
Her rather one-sided conversation had exactly the effect that she'd wanted. The four boys all looked at her and all of them seemed pretty miffed.
Actually… only three looked at her and only two seemed pretty miffed… The one that hadn't looked at her seemed really shy but he was really, really cute… and the other one had messy brown hair and amber eyes. For some reason they didn't look fake… He wasn't the most handsome one of the bunch but he did awesome all the same. He didn't look annoyed in the least, just amused. His eyes were so unreadable… it was so not natural.
Tomoyo had a huge smile on her face, she looked ridiculous. But one of her friends was standing right next to her and another on the other side. Were they like… on the same level as her? Her best friends, maybe?
The three guys with black hair went over to them, along with the rest of the boys, but the amber guy stayed where he was and offered a smirk to Sakura. It annoyed the hell out of her.
He came over to her and it was only then that she realised Naoko had gone. She groaned again.
'What's that for?' he asked, sounding really rude. He should just go be with his dumb friends; it wasn't as if she'd asked him to talk to her.
'Naoko's gone, loser.' He didn't take that too well. 'Who are you? I thought you were Kate… but…' She rolled her eyes. 'I'm Sakura Kinomoto. Nothing like Kate. And who the hell are you?'
He seemed faintly annoyed now. 'My name's Syaoran Li.' Syaoran. That was a nice name. 'Look, I've gotta go. Bye Sakura.'
He turned and fled. Sakura smiled. She hadn't lost her touch. She never failed to drive away a guy. But… for some reason it didn't feel fun at all. When he had went away it hadn't been funny. It had made her feel like…
She didn't know. But… he was definitely cute. No doubt about it.
