I took a deep breath and decided I would avoid looking into his eyes at all coast.

I glanced over to Tomoyo, who looked at me with worry. I smiled and turned my attention away from her questionable eyes. I shift in my seat every now and then to avoid the looks from other students.

I don't think they like me. During the whole time, I felt them glaring at me or giving me sideways glances. Sometimes… I'm not sure what to call him… maybe Sensei Syaoran? No… Sensei Li… Eww! That sounds even worse! Ok so I'll call him Li-sama. Like I was saying, sometimes Li-sama had to shout at everyone to get their attention. Once he threatened to make them recite the rules.

If your wondering what I learned, well I learned basically the same stuff I learned in Tomoeda. I (hopefully) got everything right. After five hours of the same class, (which is very boring!) we finally had lunch break.

Tomoyo stood up and walked the half inch pathway to my desk. She flashed me a smile and asked me to join her and her friends for lunch. I twitched at the word 'friends'. I'm not very social with people, if I didn't tell you before, Diary. I nodded, not wanting to be rude, and followed her to a cherry blossom tree. Already three people sat under it. Once they saw Tomoyo, they smiled and began to shout hello's to one another.

To tell you the truth, I felt like I didn't belong. I wanted to disappear right then and there.

"Sakura, come on! No need to be shy. They are the same as you." Tomoyo took hold of my arm and literally dragged me to the tree.

"Hello, Tomoyo! Hello Kinomoto-san! Such a pleasure to meet you!" A girl named, Chiharu said and scooted over to let me sit down.

Tomoyo introduced me to the two other girls. One who seemed shy to meet me, her name was Rika. She seemed really sweet. All of them seem sweet. The other girls name was Naoko. She seemed like a bookworm, like me. All of us clicked immediately. But as people always say, 'Good things don't last forever.'

A few minutes later, a boy came over. I could tell just by looking at him, he was a boy from the bad category. I frowned but the frown quickly disappeared.

The boy walked up behind Chiharu and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"AHHHHHH! Yamazaki, you idiot! How stupid can you be? I'm going to kill you if you scare me like again!" Chiharu scolded as she playfully pushed him. He acted insulted but then scooted himself between us.

"Yamazaki! Are you blind? Someone was already sitting there! You say you're sorry right now!" Chiharu yelled. I not wanting to cause trouble tried to say it was alright but she cut me off.

He looked at me with a fake sorry look. "Hey um Kinomoto-san, please forgive me for wanting to be near my girlfriend." He said icily. I gasped and felt like an icicle going overly cold. I felt tears threatening to fall.

"Say you're sorry, stupid." A voice said from behind us. I looked behind me and saw Li-sama holding his jacket on one finger, and it was dangling behind him. He looked at me and maybe glared but I'm not sure since I turned away quickly.

Tomoyo noticed, because she caught my eye and gave me an 'are-you-ok' look. I gave a smile which my lips began to tremble. I was horrible with keeping myself from crying.

I quickly stood up and began to walk away.

"Sakura? Where are you going?" Naoko, Chiharu, and Rika asked at the same time. I continued to walk not wanting to be caught crying. I bit my lip as the tears escaped down my cheek.

I hiccupped and tried to calm down. I have no idea where I'm going, I feel like I'm just in everyone's way, and I sometimes wish I was a little girl again. Ready to be held in mommy's and daddy's arms.

More tears spilled down my face and I had to stop for everything was becoming blurry. I leaned on the wall as I let myself slip to the floor and cry my eyes out.

"Kinomoto-san. Please forgive that stupid jerk for talking to you in such a manner. Except my apology for him." I looked up and saw Li-sama bending down beside me. I dried my eyes as best as I could and nodded. He smiled a small smile at me and stood up. He held his hand out for me.

I frowned and slowly took his hand. He helped me up and quickly let go of it. "Rule number seventy- three; never linger on what the elders tell you not to." He said as he began to walk to the tree again. He stopped and turned around to look at me.

"I assume you've heard about this school before you came here right?" I shook my head no. He sighed and gave a tired smile. Then he asked, "Then why are you here?"

At that moment I couldn't breathe. I felt like I didn't belong again. I wanted to yell at him. Beg him to leave me alone and you know what I did, Dairy? I took one step toward him and… slapped him right across the cheek. It sounded like a bullet going off.

As soon as I hit him, I gasped and froze. His expression was shocked. I think no one hit him before. I stepped back unsure of what I did. Tears came by the millions now.

"I-I-I'm s-so s-s-sorry!" I stammered as I backed away slowly.

Tomoyo came running up and looked at Syaoran, who now had a huge red mark on his right cheek. She gasped and looked back at me with wide eyes. I began to I think have a melt down. I fell to the floor and just cried. Saying "I'm so sorry" over and over again.

Diary, looking back, I don't understand why I smacked him. He himself most likely felt violated. He looked so shocked but the worst part is… he looked scared. Like I hit him because he did something he wasn't supposed to. Maybe I hit a spot that affected him.

-------------------------

"Sakura, did you smack him?" The woman from before, Sensei Karin, asked as she waited patiently for my answer. I looked at the carpet trying very hard not to burst into tears.

I nodded.

"Did you do it purposely or by accident?" Sensei Karin asked with a stern look as she leaned on her hand for support. Again I nodded, which was stupid but I was out of it by then.

"Answer my question, Kinomoto!" Barked Sensei. I shift in my seat again and I feel my heart quicken. It knows, and I know, I'm going to be in big trouble for this.

"Sakura, please tell me why you smacked him." She said more calmly. I again shifted in my seat and open my mouth but quickly close it.

"I'm waiting." She barked out.

I look at her and say carefully, "I don't know, ma'am. I just did it on instinct." I told truthfully, which earned me an 'are-you-serious' look.

She sighed and said, "I'm going to have to notify your mother. I think this problem should be resolved appropriately and carefully." Sensei Karin said with a small sigh and told me to leave.

I quickly made my feet move as fast as I could make them go. I made my way to my next class, which was math. I suck at math. They might kick me out because I suck. Then I won't have to put up with all this commotion.

As soon as I arrived, the classroom became very quiet.

"Oh! Kinomoto-chan! Such a nice pleasure to have you in my class! Please sit next to…" She paused and looked around for a moment. "Aha! Right next to Li-san." As soon as she said 'Li-san' I prayed there was another boy or girl with the last name Li. But with my luck, it was Li Syaoran.

I made my way to the desk and slumped into my chair. I glanced at him and he looked straight ahead, avoiding me. Doing the same, I ignored him and acted like I was listening, even though I had no idea what that woman was saying.

I yawned once. Twice. A third time. Before I fell asleep.

I know what your think, Diary. How stupid can this girl be for falling asleep after she got into trouble? Well I couldn't help it. The events of the day took a toll on me. And lets not mention about the toll will be put on me when mom sees me.

"Wake up Kinomoto. Kinomoto-san! Oh my, wake up girl!" Someone shouted into my ear. I yelped as I jumped in my seat. I saw Li-sama sitting next to me. The room was vacant, besides us. I felt tired but still feel bad for the smack I gave him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in a tired voice as I rubbed my eyes.

He shot me a glare and then looked away. "Well, you fell asleep. I couldn't risk getting in trouble for disrupting the class so I let you sleep. Thank goodness the teacher is the first to leave, or we would both be in trouble. I let you sleep for an hour. It's four thirty." As soon as he said four thirty, I jumped up grabbed my stuff and ran out of the room.

I ran out of the school property to the street across. I took out the map and (kind of) used it to reach the house.

When I saw my mother's car outside of the house, I knew I was going to pay the price.
