Just around the corner

Chapter 1

"You must be the new guy"
Checking if she passed as a guy, she grabbed her pack and rushed out of her room. She ran through the wide hallways and searched for Science 03. After 3 minutes of searching she finally gave up. Then a man with chestnut brown hair and amber eyes approached her.

"You must be the new guy. Come follow me, I'll lead you to your first class." He said. Obviously, he didn't want anything to do with her. So she just quietly followed him as thoughts clouded her mind.

'He looks so much like Syaoran but much older. Could it be?' She asked herself. Soon they reached a room full of men (duh!) taking down notes. Most of them were sleeping though. Sakura's guide talked to the teacher then proceeded to his seat. The teacher was thin and looked around his late '20's. He placed down his chalk and wiped off the chalk in his hands.

"We have a new student everyone. Please introduce yourself." He said instructing Sakura to say her name.

"I'm Saru Momoto, Tokyo Japan." She briefly said. The teacher nodded.

"Not much for words huh?" He said, making the class laugh. Sakura could only smile.

"Anyway, I'm professor Chan and you'll be sitting next to Xiao Lang Li. He'll be your lab partner for the semester." He said to her. She nodded and sat next to Syaoran. The class proceeded and Syaoran had a nagging thought in his head he had to ask her.

"How'd you know I was Xiao Lang Li?" He asked her with great curiosity and confusion. Sakura blushed with embarrassment.

'Stupid! What do I say now?!' She thought. She racked her brain for an answer and finally came up with one.

"I have a friend back home that knows you." She said. She wasn't lying at all. It was actually true. Syaoran looked down.

"Oh.... Who?" He asked her again. Sakura blushed even more.

"I'm sorry, but I cant tell you...." She said to him. He gave her a puzzling look and nodded.

"Ok...." He mumbled. Sakura breathed deeply to stop her heart from beating to fast.

'Syaoran's actually next to me....' She happily thought.

'Could he know Sakura? My Sakura?' Syaoran thought. Little did he know Saru knew Sakura very well. (Hehehehe)

For the rest of the class, Sakura had to restrain herself from kissing, hugging or even tell him her real identity to Syaoran. Once Science was done, her next class was history. Syaoran had thoughtfully told her where it was and gave her directions. She followed them carefully and got to class early. She sat next to guy who had faint red hair and deep amethyst eyes. He smiled mysteriously, which made her uncomfortable.

"I'm Toyo. And you?" He asked flirtatiously. Sakura smiled nervously.

"It's Saru." She said nervously. Toyo shook his head.

"I mean your real name." He said. Sakura panicked.

"What do you mean?" She nervously asked. Toyo grinned.

"I know when I see a chick dress up as a guy." He explained. Sakura looked away.

"I don't understand." She lied. Toyo laughed. He scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to Sakura.

I know who you are, Card Mistress.
Sakura refused to give in and surrender. Instead she ignored him the whole period, in fact the whole day. Sakura ran back to her dorm and sat on her bed breathing slowly. Only then did she realize that she wasn't alone in the room. Sakura gasped as she saw Toyo sitting on the bed across her. He grinned at her.
"You do know that this is a boy's school right?" He asked her. Sakura nodded.

"Ofcourse. Why else would I be here then?" She asked him innocently.

"Well, for one you could be looking for the boy who stole your heart and never returned for 6 years." He replied. Sakura's eyes widened.

"What's his name? Oh Yeah.... Syaoran was it?" He said grinning.

'What now?' She thought.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" She asked him in a callous way. Tomo grinned.

"You know who I am."
