I'm not quite sure about the japanese words and the -kuns, -chans- and sans so I'll just be using their regular name okay? (ex. Sakura. no -chans and sans okay? I'm sorry)

When Oh When Will It Start To Begin?
Chapter 1
Tomoyo watched through the lens of her newest digital camera as the most kawaii couple blush furiously turning into an interesting shade of crimson. Tomoyo and Sakura were starting to head out of Seijyo High School to Tomoyo's house. They were rounding the corner when Sakura walked full tilt into someone. She had dropped her books in surprise.
"Gomen Li!"
"Sa..Sakura?!" Syaoran stuttered. He looked down and spotted the books she was just carrying. "I'm sorry! Let me pick those up for you." He crouched down immediately not waiting for her answer. He picked up the fallen books and stacked them up.
Sakura smiled at him. "Thank you Li."
Syaoran blushed furiously as he gave her back the books. As he handed them to her, his hand brushed hers. They both quickly pulled their hands back blushing even more.
"See you tomorrow Li." Sakura averted her eyes away to the ground.
"Yeah sure. See you tomorrow." They both walked away slowly.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"That was so kawaii!!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "It would be even more kawaii if he asked you out!"
"Tomoyo!"
Sakura was shocked but inside she wished he would ask her out soon. He was such a nice guy. He would never like her….
"He loves you, too." Tomoyo said softly. Sakura just needed a push in the right direction. Those two were made for each other.
"How do you know what I'm thinking about?!" Sakura exclaimed. It seemed like sometimes Tomoyo could read her mind. That freaked Sakura out. A lot.
"Well, considering I've known you for who knows how long… and how you act around Syaoran and how he acts around you…I know you like him and he likes you."
Sakura thought about what Tomoyo said for awhile.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Night time-9:52~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Why do I always act so weak around her?! I can't even ask her to go out on a date!'
He rolled around in bed. It was around 9:52. He just couldn't sleep.
Syaoran was frustrated with himself. He's known Sakura since 4th grade, is her partner in cardcapturing, and is one of her close circle of friends. He just couldn't bring up his courage whenever he saw her. There were a lot of boys lately around Sakura. She was the co-captain of the cheerleading squad and has been having a lot of admirers for some time. Whenever he saw another boy walk up to Sakura, he could feel this sensation curse through him. He was jealous. He knew why. ' because I've been in love with Kinomoto Sakura since 4th grade '. After he saw each boy come up after another asking her to go on a date, she politely turned each and every one of them down. Syaoran was relieved. He had to ask her to go out with him soon or she would be taken. Then he could ask her to go the Winter Wonderland dance too.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'when will he ask me out?' Sakura though to herself. She really liked him. They've been friends for so long. 'maybe I might like him more then just…' She shook her head to clear those thoughts. She had these strange tingling feelings whenever he was around, watching her, talking to her, or just close by.
She watched him play soccer so much. Sakura thought he was the best soccer player on the whole team. Although James was also very good. Syaoran however beat him for the place of co-captain of the team. The next formal freshman dance was coming up in less than a month.
The Winter Wonderland dance was just for the freshmen. Many girls have been asking Syaoran. He politely said no to every girl. He was so polite. Unless sophomore's, junior's or senior's were asked to go by some freshmen. Only then could they go. Otherwise it was just for the freshman grade. The other grades had their own special dances.
'when will you ask me Syaoran?' Sakura snuggled up closer to Kero, who was curled in a ball at her neck. She slowly drifted off into dreamland.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Next day- Lunch time~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James started to approach. Sakura felt extremely agitated by his close proximity. Right when he was right next to her she spotted Syaoran by the cherry tree.
"Syaoran!" Sakura left James to go to eat with Syaoran.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Syaoran! May I eat lunch with you?" Sakura was walking up to the tree.
Syaoran patted the ground next to him. "Of course you may Sakura." He smiled a rare but small smile at her.
Her heart melted. He looked so much more handsome when he smiled.
She skipped the rest of the way and sat down next to him.
"You should smile more often Li."
Syaoran arched an eyebrow. "Why?"
"You look better."
He blushed at the compliment. "Thanks."
They both opened up their lunches. Syaoran had dumplings and chicken. Sakura had crisp pastries that her dad had made. They both happily ate together in silence enjoying each other's company.
Finally Syaoran broke silence after working up some courage. "Are you going with anyone to the Winter Wonderland dance?"
Sakura's heart skipped excitingly. "No.. Are you?" She asked timidly.
Syaoran was so happy. "No.. but I was wondering…" He was going to blurt it out quickly but James suddenly appeared infront of Sakura.
"Hey Sakura." He flashed her a bright white smile. She smiled back lightly. "Hi James."
Syaoran eyes started to glare dangerously at James. The dangerously calm glare. It bore right through him. Syaoran was just about to ask Sakura and was interrupted. By James of all people.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tomoyo stiffled her groan. Syaoran was just about to ask Sakura! That special moment she had waited for so long to come was just ruined!
'How dare you!' Tomoyo was furious. She was not going to let James get away with this!
Tomoyo stomped over. This effectively cutted James off and catched his attention.
"Don't you even try to.." Tomoyo's usually serene face was fiery in anger. James stepped backwards. She surprised him. He turned back to Sakura. "See you some other time then."
He inched away from Tomoyo. He felt uneasy with her so angry and with Syaoran's glare boring right into him. Tomoyo's anger didn't subside until he was finally out of eyesight.
She turned back to Sakura and Syaoran. "Go on Syaoran." She smiled at them and walked away a bit but close enough that the two were somewhat embarrassed.
"Well…." Syaoran shifted uncomfortably.
Sakura arched both of her graceful eyebrows waiting…
"would you like to go out with me and also go to the Winter Wonderland dance?" Syaoran said this all rather fast but Sakura caught every word.
