How do I tell her? What do I tell her exactly? What if I screew up...What if she doesn't feel the same way? No...I saw that doodle...what if...

Thoughts ran threw Syaoran's mind as he lightly scuffed the ground as he walked.

That light, cheery voice rang in his ears, and he smiled; loving the way it made him always feel.

"Syaoran? Hello? You hear me?"

He turns facing her, blushing a bit. "Oh, Sakura, I didn't realize...t-that you were there."
SHe smiled, and they continued to walk. "Why are you smiling?"

Shrugs, "Would you not want me to?"

" No, No, No!", he quickly shakes his head, "You look cute when you smile..."Realizing that he said that outloud, his face turns a bit red and he walked a bit faster, a few paces infront of her.

My chance....

"GEUSS WHAT?!' She stepped infront of him, immediatly stopping him in his tracks.

You like me, like I like you....?
His eyes lit up, gazing at her, "Yes?"

"There's going to be a new student in our school! I heard he's in our Science class, but rumors aren't always true...."..she smirked.."Anyway...I heard he's from a few towns over..his dad got tranfered of something like that. I think his name is Toni. Tomoyo told me his mother's American, isn't that neat?! Think of the story's he can tell from America!"

He just looked at her, his heart sunk a bit..Why didn't she say what I thought she would?..His chocolate eyes lost their lust, and softness...and turned to a deep, cold brown. "that's great, Sakura..." He walked past her; almost as if he were completely ignoring her. Something of which he thought he'd never do to her...

"Hmph!" She folded her arms across her chest, turning to look at the leaving Syaoran. Her bright eyes glistened as her loose chestnut locks flickered in the breeze.

"See you in school, Sakura." He said softly, still walking with his head down.

"Ja ne, Li Syaoran."

Great. A new boy...What if he makes a good impression on my Sakura? She's mine...doesn't anyone get that point. SHe will always be mine, no matter what tries to take her away; they can't....and never will.....as long as I'm here.....

***~***

Sakura walked home from her dissapointing conversation with Syaoran. As she stepped in the door, she was greeted by her brother.

"Sakura..."..looks at his watch...."A bit late today, aren't we....."

"Argh! Shut up, Touya!" She stomped passed him, and up the stairs.

"That brat called a few mintues ago; bit I advise to not call him back. He's a BRAT!" He shouted to her from downstairs.

SHe slammed her bedroom door behind her as she stepped in, and threw her bag to her desk; a muffled "ACK" seeping from the bag. She leaped onto her bed, cletching a few pillows in her hands as she put them under her head.

Ring. Ring.

Kero jumped out of the bag, carrying her cell phone. "Moshi Moshi?" -long pause-
"oh...it's you...Hold on, Kid"..He flew up to his Mistress..."It's the brat..."

From the phone you hear "STUFFED ANIMAL!" loud and clear, and Kero drops the phone near her..."baka..." he flutters away.

She picked up the phone, and answered softly, "Li?"

"Yea, Sorry for calling. I..uh..just need...well...wanted...yea wanted...to know if you were going to that carnival thing near my house Friday..."

Oh...the Carnival...is he asking me on a date? She smiled, her voice bright and cheery, "HAI!"

"Great...I mean..I'll um..s-see you there." He hung up as quick as one could blink.

How...dissapounting...she thought to herself as she threw the cell phone and herself back in the pit of pillows.

"Seem a bit...(pokes her) dissapointed, Sakura"

She groans loudly, and ermerges from her pile. "Leave me alone, Touya." She falls back into the pile.

"Fine..Fine....can't I just check on my sis?.

She groans loudly again, not bothering to yell at him.

Touya turns, leaving Sakura alone. Her head raises, with her green orbs looking around her cluttered room, then settling on her calander. Friday? FRIDAY'S IN 3 DAYS!!

***~At Li's~***

"Hmm..." he continued to think as he looked out his window, overlooking the carnival being set up for Friday. There...he'd confess....

If this goes as easy as I hope...then I have nothing to fear...I think....
