Falling in Twice: High School Love
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS or it's characters. Just this story I've wrote up with a role play friend this year. Enjoy!
Chapter 1:
It was a bright sunny morning. The perfect weather for the first day of school. This time around Sakura who seemed to always wake up quite late for school, was wide awake preparing herself for her first day of school. It was her first day in high school after all. She wanted to add some effort to her appearance as she was in the age of wanting to seem more appealing to the opposite sex. Throughout middle school and their summer vacation, she had made the effort to grow out her hair down to her shoulders. Having short hair was quite efficient to her when she did cheer leading and other sporty activities. But it also didn't allow her to do much with her hair.
"And it's done….!" Sakura yelled out excitedly as she put down her hair brush and closed a magazine that she borrowed from Tomoyo for cute hairstyles. "Now the final touches…" she murmured as she clipped a cherry hair accessory. "Done!" Sakura yelled out and approached her mirror to observe herself.
She then took out a cherry flavored lip gloss out of her pocket and applied it on her lips. "Ah, it's so insane how a little bit of gloss changes your appearance by a lot! I'm so happy Tomoyo helped me pick this out for today." She glanced at her room's clock.
"Ah! Look at the time! Even though I woke up earlier than usual I'm still running a bit late!" Sakura ran back into her room and changed quickly into her uniform. Then after spraying some perfume on herself and gathering her school bag, she ran downstairs to find no one.
"Ah papa must have left for work." She expressed in a sad tone but regained her cheerful demeanor as soon as she saw a big plate of pancakes with strawberry syrup. "My papa must have left those for me." Sakura poured herself some milk and finished her breakfast. As she was picking up after herself, she encountered a note under the plate that read:
"It's not very lady-like to wake up late. I made you pancakes to make up for me not being able to greet you due to early college classes. Good luck today,
Touya"
With a sour expression she took the note and shoved it inside her school bag. "I woke up early today though!" She said in an annoyed tone later breaking into a smile at the thought of her brother making her the pancakes despite his much early classes. After cleaning up she quickly put on her roller skates and headed to school.
"Ah no! My lip gloss must be ruined from my eating." She made a quick stop and took out a small mirror to reapply her cherry lip gloss. She then made a kissy face while looking at herself in the mirror. "I wonder..if I'll meet someone special today."
Kero who had been hiding in Sakura's bag for a while had come out. "You won't be if you're late….and wearing that weird thing on your lips." Sakura blushed from embarrassment and glared at the small flying figure.
"Kero! I told you to stay home and not sneak into my bag anymore! A teenage girl needs her privacy! Go back home and wait for me there! If you need anything you can call me!" She blurted out then began running to school.
"Sheesh...teenagers..little does she know that the brat is back to Japan." Kero murmured as he made his way back to the Kinomoto residence.

Finally after a bit of running and fast walking she had reached the school gates. "I made it just in time." She approached the school board to see in which classroom she was going to be at. She has hoped that her and Tomoyo would be classmates again.
"Kinomoto...Kinomoto...ah here I'm!" After finding herself she kept scanning the list for Tomoyo's name.
"Daidouji...hmm..Li?" She paused. That last name was quite familiar.
"Li..what?" But before she could read the first name the bell had rang forcing her to start making her way to class.
"Ah, I didn't even get to see if Tomoyo was in my class.." she pouted as she approached the classroom. Sakura eyes widened in surprise as she had come to know the person whose last name was Li.
"Eh..?" She wore a confused expression as she made her way inside. "Wasn't he supposed to be in Hong Kong?" She thought to herself.
"After so many years without contact and him being gone...I never thought I'll see him again." She placed her hand on her chest trying to relieve herself from crying. At the time she didn't know why she felt like crying. Her stubborn and clueless personality, prevented her from fully admitting her feelings towards him. But the fact is, that she could never stop thinking of him.
His sudden return to Hong Kong had also affected her daily life. After a few seconds of gazing at him from afar, she sat down a couple of seats away from him and checked her phone. She had a new text from Tomoyo,
"Sakura-chan, I'm so sad this year we won't be sharing classrooms together. But guess who's in my class!?"
Sakura scrolls down to see a photo of Tomoyo and Meilin together. "If Meilin is here...then I suppose that is you…" she murmured to herself as she once again gazed at Syaoran from afar who was busy taking out his notebook and pencils. She wasted no time and did the same herself as the teacher had made his way inside the classroom to check attendance.
After a few names were called, the teacher finally yelled out her name.
"Kinomoto, Sakura" the teacher yelled out.
"Here!" She responded as she noticed Syaoran with a surprised look on her face. "Guess he wasn't expecting me either." She thought as she shyly tried to pretend she didn't noticed him earlier.
To be continued?
How was it? Should I continue yes or no? If there are any mistakes do let me know!
Leave good reviews, eh.
Laters.. :3
