"Oh!Would you stop it!!!!???!!"I snapped;almost cricking my neck as I turned to glare at Rika who sat beside me,a pen held loosely in her hand.

I'm already stressed out enough as it is.Its the first day of school and I'm already in trouble with Principal Yanagizawa.

As if my life isn't complicated enough.Ok…..so I'm not ACTUALLY in trouble with said principal YET!.

But its only a matter of time before that S.B(read Sadistic Bastard) reports me.Unless he's planning on doing something worse….I froze in my seat as I ran through a list of possible things he could do to me which could affect me worse than being sent to detention.

ONE

get his cronies to make my life miserable?(scratch that.He does that already.)

TWO

take on the honour of it himself?(Oh!please!like his mere presence isn't enough to ruin a day all by itself)

THREE

tell his mother?(I doubt she'd believe it)

FOUR

tell Touya?(He won't listen)

FIVE

tell Dad……?(Just kill me now….)

"I hope that punch REALLY hurt"I grumbled to Tomoyo.Rika having thankfully subsided into odd mutterings from time to time about freedom of expression.

"Who's the S.B now???"Tomoyo asked cheerily.

I glared at her.

"What's S.B?"

I heard a little creak and glanced up to see the class president and resident savant,second only to Hisaru kun,Eriol Hiragizawa,slide into the seat behind mine.

Tomoyo blushed a deep fuschia and Eriol gave her a tiny shy smile before resting his head on his elbow and slouching over the desk to peer at me through his glasses.

I roll my eyes.

Can the GET any more obvious?

Eriol is one of the main reasons I don't think all boys are complete dorks.He's also Li's cousin….which makes him my cousin to be too,I guess….though I'm not sure he knows it..

Its not just his unconventional looks that set him apart.Its the way he smiles,the way he talks and that little twist his mouth gets into-halfway between a smirk and an all out grin which seems to say he knows more than he's letting on.

Tomoyo's perfect for him.And he's more than perfect for her.Maybe they'll realise it sometime this decade.

"So…?"Eriol pressed.

"What's S.B.Sakura chan?"

"S.B stands for Sadistic Bastard"Chiharu chirped from across the desk.That's Sakura chan's name for Li kun.

Eriol smiled at me.

"He's really your fiance then?"He asked.

I guess my frown answered his question because he only smiled at me again in a very cat-ate-the-canary-and-then-got-into-the-creamery-too manner before continuing.

"I heard Mochizuki and Yoshida chan…….ahhhhh…..discussing the matter"

Discussing?

I snorted.

"More like shreiking their silly chicken heads off.I swear,Eriol kun,if I have to hear that blonde bimbette giggling and screaming'Syaoooooooouuuuuuu-kunnnnnnnn' in that stupid high pitched falsetto,I'm gonna bash their heads in."

"Haven't you done enough bashing in for one day?"

Naoko looked slightly disapproving.

"Speaking of which….Sakura chan,I'm surprised you haven't been summoned to Principal Yanagizawa's office already.My aunt's not one to delay handing out detention slips,you know?

Do you think….maybe Li isn't going to report you?"

I slunk down in my seat.

"That's what I'm worried about."I confessed tiredly."I don't care if he reports me to the Queen of Bitches…no offence,Naoko….but I can't bear having Dad give me his I'm-so-disappointed-in-you look again.I promised him I wouldn't get in trouble this year..especially not in connection with the S.B.Damn that rat fink!He's such a.."

"Hai!Hai!We know"Tomoyo cut in hurriedly.

"He's a sadistic bastard.You despise him.He's a stinking flirt.You loathe him.He's a conniving sneaky wart.You detest him.We KNOW,Sakura!"

I scowled as Eriol grinned lazily at Tomoyo whose cheeks were an interesting shade of deep red again.

He started to say something when Terada sensei came in.

Rika promptly blushed furiously.

I snorted loudly.But managed to cover it with a hacking cough when Terada sensei looked over at me.

Luckily for me,his attention was drawn to the second bench when Hisaru kun began questioning him about the topics we would be covering this semester and whether 'Integral Transforms' would be a part of it.

What on earth are Integral Transforms?

Something vile…of that I have no doubt.

Why?Why?Why was I stuck with Math?

I groaned softly.

Tomoyo gave me a reassuring glance.

"Don't worry,Sakura chan"She whispered"I overheard Mizuki sensei telling Terada sensei that Math was going to be much simpler this year.Besides,you really CAN be good at Math,you know?Remember what she said?That your fear of the subject is the only thing that keeps you from doing well at it?"

I smiled and nodded at Tomoyo who dimpled back at me before turning to face Terada sensei,now immersed in the range of application of derivatives.

Just when the discussion was getting heated up,the door banged open and Syaoran Li aka the Sadistic Bastard aka my beep ing fiance strode into the room,bowing slightly to Terada sensei.

"I apologise,Sensei."He said calmly.

"I was….delayed.."At this point,he shot me a glance and I gaped at his face.

WHERE WAS THAT BLACK EYE???????

He must have noticed my open mouth because he smirked before turning back to face Terada sensei.

I kept staring at him in horror.

Why was he in my class??

He belonged to the brainiac level.He was supposed to be taking Higher Calculus and Operands!I ought to know.He'd mentioned it enough times.

God curse the day Touya had let slip my latest Math scores in front of his mother.Yelan san had immediately offered to get the S.B to tutor me.

I have to thank Touya for getting me out of that one.Even though he was the one who got the ball running in the first place.

His protective instincts had kicked over at the thought of his imouto being alone in a room with 'the gaki' for hours on end everyday after school and he had vociferously declined.stating that he had been planning on tutoring me himself.

Evidently though,my mother in law's instructions to the S.B to help me out whenever necessary in Math included a mention of my scores.

End of story.

I continued to stare at him as he took a seat next to Tanaka Akina.

The slut immediately flipped her bleached blonde hair over her shoulders and simpered at him.

"Li kuhhhhnnnn"

The slut was practically drooling.

I looked away in disgust.But not before hearing her tell him how much she admired his game .

I looked over at Naoko who was peering over at them interestedly over the rims of her huge glasses.

"You know,Sakura?I think she likes him too."

No-Duh!

"I can see why.Li kun is quite good looking.His eyes are very attractive and he's on the swim team with me,only,of course,on the boy's side.But still,I've seen him without a shirt on.He looks really good,Sakura chan."

I stared at Naoko in disbeleif.

"Also,I must say his pectoral muscles are very well defined.His abs are well proportioned and he has a truly Roman nose.His thigh muscles are,I believe,quite exceptional.His waist seems perfect if you want to wrap your legs around him.

I believe it is one of the more stimulating sexual positions.In fact,I have a book that you could borrow for your honeymoon,assuming,of course that you want to wait until after you are married to Li kun.

If not,I could lend it to you and.."

"NAOKO!!!!!"

The class stared at me as I sat in my seat.I could feel just how red my cheeks were and I had a feeling the blush wasn't going to go away anytime soon.

I slunk down in my seat.

WHY ME?

A/N---is there anyone out there who'd like to beta this fic for me?Coz I think I need someone to look it over before I post it.If anyone'd like to do that,please email me.I think the 'send a private message' link on my profile should do it since does not allow mail id's to be displayed.

Thanks for reading.

And R&R people!!

The mystery of the engagement'll be revealed in the next chapter!!
