I think everyone was confused sorry about that, i forgot to tell you that chapter 1 don't have the same time frame with the prologue, i was merely explaining who the ideal guy, or the guy of Sakura's dreams... here in chap2, i told about what happened after finding out that they were seatmates.

James Birdsong-- Kura is the nickname of Sakura here in the story sorry about that...


Chapter 2: Loving or hating geometry

It's still early, it's only eight a.m. and here I am waiting for geometry class. I hope he's also an early bird, since he's an honor student. What am I to do for an hour? Hmm… It's a good thing I brought my new book, and it's a good thing no one's around I could finally read it.

-insets are from Cecelia Ahern's There's No Place Like Here-

Jenny-May Butler, the little girl who lived across the road from me, went missing when I was a child. The Gardaí launched an investigation, which led to a lengthy public search for her… Perhaps this is why it happened to me. Perhaps because I spent so many years turning my own life upside down and looking for everything, I had forgotten to look for myself. Somewhere along the line I had forgotten to figure out who and where I was. Twenty-four years after Jenny-May Butler disappeared, I went missing too. This is my story.

(Raising my eye brow) How could she went missing, she's like a detective ever since she's little, she couldn't possibly went missing like her socks.

"I wonder how she got lost" speaking my mind out loudly

"Who got lost?" Someone from the room asked.

Wait a minute! There's no one here, who could that be? (Lowered my book to scan the room) *Sigh* what a relief, it's just Rui.

"Good morning Rui" Smiling my best smiles "I didn't hear you come in" Eyeing him for a moment

"Good morning to you too, but I think you've mistaken"

"Excuse me?" Trying to sound innocent, but I think it's not working, with him looking at me like I'm something funny

"You see, if only you've pay any attention to your surroundings, you would have noticed me coming in"

"Well I'm sorry that I like my book so much, to even notice my surroundings" Trying to calm down, I can't burst on him like what happened on the phone, the other day.

"*Laugh* You're funny you know that" Smiling at me proudly, thank goodness no one's around to see his handsome smile, that match his brown eyes perfectly. Wait a minute! Where are his glasses? Isn't he always wearing his glasses?

"I'm glad you find me to your humor, mind if I ask something?"

"Sure, as long as I can answer them why not?" Smirking at me, that makes my knees weak, it's a good thing I'm sitting or else I might have fallen.

"Why aren't you wearing your glasses? Aren't you somewhat blind without them?" I hope I didn't offend him in any way

"Well, if you only pay attention to class rather than stare at me the whole time yesterday, then maybe you might have known that I'm not Rui" Smiling like I'm some kind of idiot his talking with

"What do you mean?" Laughing at my own embarrassment

"I meant, I'm not Rui, the name's Li Syaoran, nice to meet you Sakura" Extending his hand

"What?!" I screamed my lungs out, looking at him wide-eyed

"Could you tone that down a bit?" Covering his ears, am I that loud?

"Li Syaoran? Are you playing with me Rui?" Anger starting to overcome my mixture of emotions

"Nope, sorry lady but I'm not Rui, in fact I usually get that kind of response all the time" He answered me softly, especially on the last part.

"Then you're Syaoran? Rui's brother, the one he's looking for the other day?"

"Yeah, I'm actually his twin brother, in case you didn't notice that and--" He's smiling like a jerk. I'm starting to hate geometry, how can I actually miss this? Surely I must have heard his name yesterday. Why can't I remember anything?

"You know, maybe if you stop racking you brain, you might have thought that you weren't able to hear my name yesterday since you're too busy staring at me" He said while I eyed him for quite a while.

"B-But--" I tried to protest, but nothing came out. Though there's still that other question, why do I feel like I was played?

"Oh and one more thing, I was the one who called you the other day, sorry about that, it was a dare actually"

"What?!" I shouted my lungs out again for the second time around.

"I said I'm sorry, it was just a dare, a joke supposedly"

"B-But…" I'm getting all teary-eyed from what I realized just now, I can't believe all this was just a nightmare. It was supposed to be a good day! "Sniff… And I thought I had a chance to actually befriend my Rui"

"So… your Rui huh?" He looked at me with his right eye brow so high

"What?" I asked him innocently, then he just shook his head and looked lost, then I catch him muttering "why her—people—Rui—argh!--"

"What did you just say?" I try finding out, the bits of information I heard

"Not your business!" He said, smirking like a jerk.

"Fine, so be it, don't disturb me with my book"

I can't concentrate on my book; my mind is just filled with this information that seems to be wrong. I might have been dreaming. That might be it, if I pinched myself, I'll eventually wake up. Ouch! It hurt, so maybe I'm awake after all, and this Syaoran here, or rather Rui is just playing me, might be a dare too. But, he's not wearing any glasses, and the Rui I know is blind without his glasses. Oh good Lord, what have I done to deserve this? I know I wished to befriend him, but to be played like this? And one more thing, I never heard Rui has a brother, let alone a twin. *Sigh* I don't know what to think and do anymore. *Sigh*

"You know, if you keep sighing like that, everyone will think that, that book is no good"

Some random thought I presume "*Sigh* and now I'm hearing voices in my head"

"I'm not some random bubble thought of yours, you know. I'm just stating a fact."

"Huh?" Looking away from my book for a while when I saw him eyeing at me, like he's talking with me.

"I said, if you keep sighing like that people would start to think that, that book you're reading is no good"

"It's not the book, it's you"

"What about me?"

"I just couldn't believe I missed it" I sounded like I'm mourning because of the very thought that it was him and not Rui.

"You could change class if you want to, no one's forcing you to be here, you could find where Rui is and be his classmates, for all I care" Then he just spaced out, looking out the window, showing me that he's not interested to talk with me anymore.

"I'm sorry" I muttered. I don't know how to even face him now. *Sigh* if only I could turn back the time, and be attentive to class this wouldn't have happened.

Wait a minute! Li Syaoran… Where did I hear that name before? I know it's familiar, I've heard it in the campus before, but I just can't remember.

Ring…. Ring….

Huh? Oh the bell, start of class. *Sigh* might as well go on with life.

-12:30-

"Tomoyo, wait up!" I tried calling out to her through this crowd.

"Tomoyo! Behind you" Calling her again and again. Finally! She heard me.

"Oh there you are Kura, I took the liberty to buy you lunch, since I know you hate lines * laugh*" There she is again, laughing at my weaknesses, but loving her all the more.

"Thanks Tomoyo, you're a life saver" Smiling brightly at her, like all the time she bought my lunch.

"You owe me 2.50, so pay up!"

"I always pay up, no need to rush me."

"So, what happened?" She asks out of the blue

"What do you mean what happened?" Trying to sound innocent

"I know you very well Kura, what happened"

"Tomoyo, can I ask you something? Who's Li Syaoran?"

"You're not serious girl, are you?" Why does it feel like I'm the only one who doesn't know him?

Dear Diary,

I know it's stupid of me to just assume everything's going to be alright, but that's all I wished for right now. I never knew Syaoran and Rui were brothers, even though they have the same surnames. Well for one, Rui's a nice guy, and Syaoran is well… not nice! Another thing is, I never saw Syaoran before, even though his popular. Well they both are popular, Rui being an honor student, and I believe would be running for office the next school year, while Syaoran on the other hand is the bad boy basketball star, that's somehow weird since I'm a cheer-dancer and I never saw him. And I also don't know how he got in the team, being a jerk! I heard from Tomoyo that he's a troublemaker, and one of the new found members of the biker kids. I wasn't able to say to Tomoyo about how he treated me this morning, but after finding out what he is, the only reason I'm seeing for that behavior is he's playing me, another dare I presume. I hate him! No make that I hate myself for ogling at him like that yesterday, and I hate myself to even think of liking him for that matter. He's not Rui, not because he got the same look means he's gorgeous too. There's only one gorgeous Robinson, and that is Rui, and not Syaoran. I just wish that I still have the chance to change everything.
