About the previous two chapters, I only got to realize some stupid grammar and spelling mistakes here and there, so sorry. This time, I checked! (But still, no guarantees :/ ) And also… I HAVE SUBSCRIBERS AND MY FIRST REVIEWERS. I am honestly very happy :D Thank you guys for reading. *sobs into towel*
I am glad that all of you enjoyed it (: I'm also happy that you all liked the length (: Anyway, I shall stop talking, so here you go for chapter 3! Enjoy! *smiles*


Chapter 3:

When Sakura and Tomoyo got inside the limo to go back to the Kinomoto mansion, Sakura started mumbling along the lines of how stupid Syaoran is. Tomoyo, on the other hand, found it rather amusing to see her best friend acting this way. "It's been so long since she's acted this way. Not after Aunt Nadeshiko left… I'm glad she's finally letting out some emotions, even if she's acting childish like this once in a while." Thought Tomoyo and gave Sakura a warm smile.

"Tomoyo… Tomoyo! Are you even listening to me? Argh!" complained Sakura.

That broke the chain of thought Tomoyo was having, "Huh? Oh! Sorry, heh, was thinking about other things. You were saying?" and showed Sakura an apologetic smile.

Sakura rolled her eyes at her best friend and said, "I can't believe there's such a rude person in this world like him! Can you even believe him? He glared at me! No one has ever glared at THE Sakura Kinomoto before!"

"There, there, chill, woman! But isn't it nice? It's kind of interesting to have fun like this once in a while, right?"

"Fun? Interesting? Tomoyo chan, have you gone nuts? He's nothing but being the largest jerk on the surface of Earth! How can you even classify him under 'Interesting'?" Sakura exclaimed incredulously.

"Well, it has been a while I've seen you so worked up over something, moreover someone you've just met. Besides, I personally think the both of you looked pretty cute with each other! I had to suppress the urge to take out my camcorder to film that moment down just now!" and stars began to form on Tomoyo's eyes and around her as well.

Sakura was beyond shocked after hearing what Tomoyo just said. "Me? Him? Cute? Oh God, what has the world become of! Tomoyo, there is NO WAY the both of us would ever look good together!"

"Oh come on! The way the both of you looked at each other at the function just now was so extremely cute! But… enough of that already. Will it be ok with you? I mean, he knows your identity now. Won't he blow your cover at school tomorrow?" Tomoyo said as her stars faded and a concerned expression replaced her mischievous smile.

"… Holy mother of- Urgh! I completely forgot!" groaned Sakura as she rubbed her temples with her fingers. "What should I do now! Being the big jerk he is, he's sure to tell the whole school who I am! Then I'll never get my peace again as those hypocritical people come flocking around me like before again!"

"Well, I guess even if he knows your identity now, he won't tell everyone? Even if he tries to, Meiling will be there to beat the hell out of him anyway. We'll just tell Meiling to keep a closer eye on him at school tomorrow, that's all." Tomoyo reasoned out.

"I hope that's how things will go…" Sakura sighed as she can feel a headache coming soon.

~The next morning~

When Sakura woke up, she realized she was going to be late for school as she smashed her alarm clock on the floor when it rang the first time. Her brother was not there to wake her up this morning because he had gone to Paris for another one of his business trip. She was only woken up now because one of the maids realized that she took too long to prepare and come out for breakfast, only to find Sakura still in bed, with covers over her head.

The moment she sprang up from her pillows, she quickly went to clean up and put on her shoulder length wig with the help of the maids. She had to quickly find another pair of new spectacles because her old one was destroyed by Syaoran Li yesterday. "I'll make you pay back for that, Li." Growled Sakura.

Because she was running late, she only ordered the maids to make her a cup of coffee and a toast, so she could have it on Tomoyo's car on the way to school. Right after she told that to the maids, there was a honk outside the Kinomoto mansion, and it was obvious to Sakura that it was Tomoyo. She hurriedly took the toast and coffee before rushing out to meet Tomoyo.

"Sorry, Tomoyo, but I think I'll have to eat my breakfast in your car today. I overslept." And Sakura started munching on her toast while seeping her coffee slowly.

"Don't worry about that. I'll be sending this baby for cleaning soon anyway. Besides, I can drive other cars in the garage anytime. Or maybe, I can drive one of yours, since you never touch them yourself… Let's not put them to waste, shall we? Heh! I'll drive as slowly as I can so you won't choke." Smiled Tomoyo.

When they reached school and entered the class, they greeted their friends warmly and sat down on their seats. "Good morning, Takashi, Chiharu, Rika, Naoko!"

"Good morning, Tomoyo, Sakura! Why are the both of you so late today?" Chiharu asked.

"I overslept. I smashed the alarm clock when it first rang and it broke. And I had to find a new pair of specs because it was destroyed by someone yesterday." Sakura could feel herself losing her cool every time she remembers about Syaoran.

Before the other girls got to ask anything more, Terada Sensei walked in and told everyone to go back to their seats. When he walked in, Sakura and the others could see Rika's face turn red when she blushed at the sight of her fiancée, Terada Sensei.

"Good morning class. Before I start taking attendance and start teaching, I have an announcement for all of you. There will be two new students that transferred from Hong Kong to our class from today onwards. I hope that all of you would be nice to the both of them and help them in any way possible." Terada Sensei started.

When Sakura and Tomoyo heard that, they looked at each other and Sakura whispered, "Uh-oh… This is not happening, right?"

Just when those words escaped Sakura's mouth, Terada Sensei continued announcing, "Please welcome, Syaoran Li and Eriol Hiiragizawa!"

When the both of them entered the class, the class started chattering among themselves, with the girls discussing which was more handsome, Eriol or Syaoran, and the guys were talking about how familiar they looked because they have seen the both of them on the news before.

"OK, quiet down, class. Let me introduce, this is Li-kun and this here is Hiiragizawa-kun. Both of them are cousins with Meiling-chan, so please take care of them, alright? Now let's find some seats for the both of you. Why not let Li-kun sit beside Sakura Minako-san there while Eriol sit in front of them with Tomoyo Daidouji-san?"

"Oh God… Why! Why do you have to do this to me, dear Lord?" grumbled Sakura under her breath while Tomoyo just smiled at Eriol sweetly.

"Minako? Since when her surname changed from Kinomoto to Minako?" Syaoran looked at Sakura, confused at both her odd surname and her outfit today. Sakura is currently glaring at Syaoran, as if telling him through telepathy that "If you dare utter a single word about me, I'll make sure I'll rip your head off immediately."

Terada Sensei then said, "Minako-san, Daidouji-san, I hope the both of you could bring Li-san and Hiiragizawa-san around the school so they could familiarize with the school sooner. Now, shall we resume to class? You may take your seats now, Li-kun, Hiiragizawa-kun. Everyone, please open your books to page 67."

Sakura sighed in relief because Syaoran had not told everyone about her true identity. At least not yet. As she was still savoring in relief, her peace was broken immediately when Syaoran sat down beside her and said softly, "Minako-san? Whatever happened to Kinomoto? What's with this whole geek getup anyway? I'm starting to miss the mademoiselle from last night, you know."

"That's none of your business, asshole. Now stop bothering me, will you?" Sakura growled.

"Oh, really? Then I guess you won't mind me telling the whole class later about your surname being Kinomoto?" Syaoran smirked at Sakura.

"You…!" Sakura almost banged her hands on the table when Syaoran stopped her. "Nuh-uh, Sensei's watching, you know. Behave yourself. Tsk tsk tsk!" Syaoran shook his head to mock Sakura. But since it was still lesson time, she had to calm herself down. Because Syaoran and Sakura were too busy quarreling, they did not notice that Tomoyo and Eriol were peeking at them from time to time.

"Kawaii~~~~~" Tomoyo squealed softly and once again, stars are starting to form around her.

"They sure are, ne? I've never seen Syaoran being so childish in front of anyone before." Commented Eriol.

"Yeah, me neither. I've not seen Sakura have that much fun in knowing someone new in such a long time." Tomoyo smiled sadly after looking at Sakura trying to control herself from strangling Syaoran.

Eriol realized something was wrong, but decided to shrug it off and pay attention in class. However, he still made a mental note to himself to investigate about the Kinomotos and the Daidoujis later when he gets home, just to be safe. Meanwhile, Sakura had finally come into terms with her inner self to control her emotions to explain why she disguises herself when she goes to school.

"Look, I don't know about you, but I definitely hate it when people approach me just because of how I look or how rich I am, alright? This is my way of making my high school life more endurable, so if you're here to destroy it, I'll make sure you won't even live to see the daylight tomorrow." Sakura threatened Syaoran. "Sometimes, even I hate the fact that I'm from a rich family…" She said softly. Even though it was a soft whisper, Syaoran still heard it because he was right beside her.

But Syaoran seem to disagree with her, and said, "I don't find it troublesome to have people talk to you. I mean, sure, we all know why they're approaching us, but it's not like they'll do anything to us because of our status, right?"

"You have no idea at all…" Sakura replied silently and decided to revert her attention back to what Terada Sensei is teaching. However, there was sadness in her eyes, and Syaoran managed to catch a glimpse of it before she covered it up by paying strong attention to class once again.

~Flashback~

"Hey, don't you think that Kinomoto girl is too irritating for her own good? Who does she think she is? Just because she's rich doesn't mean she has to treat everybody as if they're trash right?"

"Yeah, my sentiments exactly. She's so rude with everyone. What's her problem anyway?" said Kaoru, one of Sakura's friends in middle school.

"I bet she doesn't even treat us as friends. But we can't help it. She's rich and we'll have to put up with it. My parents told me to be nice to her because she's a Kinomoto." Said Hikaru, the girl who sat beside Sakura in class.

"Yeah my parents told me to be friends with her too because my family has business deals with her company. But gosh, she's so irritating!" Kaoru said in a irritated tone.

The 2 girls continued gossiping about Sakura behind her back in the school corridors, but unknown to them, Sakura was just standing behind the pillar, away from their sight. She heard each word clearly and she was shocked. She thought that both Kaoru and Hikaru were true friends to her, because the way they talked to her was different from the other people. They were much nicer to her, as if they really wanted to be friends with Sakura. She didn't expect them to be the same as the other people, no, they were worse than all the others. Sakura trusted them. They were the first people she trusted after her mother left her other than Tomoyo and the others.

Tomoyo saw what was happening when she was walking back to class with Rika, Takashi, Chiharu and Naoko, and saw Sakura hiding behind the pillar with a dull expression. Sakura was just standing there, and tears flowed silently on her face. Sakura never cried. She thought she couldn't cry anymore after crying for months because of her mother. Her friends rushed over to Sakura in concern and comforted her. Tomoyo, being Sakura's best friend, couldn't stand it and walked towards Kaoru and Hikaru. She wasn't going to forgive anyone that makes her Sakura cry.

"Bitches, apologize to Sakura, this instant." Tomoyo said in a deep serious voice.

Both of them were shocked that they were caught talking about Sakura, but recovered quickly. Kaoru said, "Why should we? Kinomoto is the rude one. There's nothing wrong with what we said!"

Rika and the rest looked on with disgusted expressions on their faces as Tomoyo continued giving them a piece of her mind. They were still a bit shocked though, Tomoyo had never been this angry at anyone before. Just when Tomoyo raised her hand to slap Hikaru to make her apologize to Sakura, Sakura pulled her hand back.

"Sakura…! Let me go. These bitches need to learn not to mess with you." Tomoyo glared at both Kaoru and Hikaru who were now sitting on the floor, scared by Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo, that's enough. I'll handle them myself. No one ever does this to a Kinomoto." Sakura gave both of them a cold glare before leaving with Tomoyo and the rest.

"Sakura, are you going to be fine with this? They…!" Naoko asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, they'll regret ever messing with me." Sakura warned with a cold voice.

The next day, both Kaoru and Hikaru were expelled from the school and the Kinomotos stopped doing business with their familes.

~End of flashback~

Sakura was in an even worse mood than previously as she was reminded that she was stupid enough to be betrayed by some worthless girls. Hence, when class was over, she just packed her bags and left for lunch with Tomoyo, after telling Meiling to bring Syaoran and Eriol for a tour around the school.

Syaoran noticed that Sakura was a bit more colder to him than yesterday, and figured that it had something to do with what he said when class first started. He became curious as well like Eriol, but with a different reason, he just wanted to have some fun with Sakura. Eriol was actually concerned about why Tomoyo had the sad look on her a while ago. Syaoran also made a mental note to investigate about Sakura's past when he gets home too. "It's really funny to see her angry, haha."


Author's note:

This was a bit shorter than chapter 2, I think? But I think this chapter is a bit boring isn't it? I was sleepy .

I'm not sure if it was a good decision to make Syaoran into such an immature person, so please tell me in the reviews, alright? I think this chapter was kinda redundant though, not much depth in it…

Anyway, thanks for reading and supporting! I'll try to update the next chapter soon as soon as I'm done with it, in the meanwhile, remember to keep the reviews coming, yeah? Hees!
