I was going to have this with chapter 10 but I decided since I was beginning school, I should make it a different chapter.

*~*~*~* Hong Kong - Wednesday - First day of school
Si Mun and Syaoran walked through the hallway going to the office. She had to fill out some forms since she was new at Hong Kong High.
Si Mun watched disgustedly at how many boys were staring at her. 'Jing was right.' Si Mun would have to go through this ALL over again…
Syaoran led her to a room. A lady was at her desk writing. She looked up when she realized they were there.
"Hello Syaoran." She first greeted Syaoran. Then she turned her head to look at the girl standing next to him. She had dark black hair with dark brown streaks that fell down her back. "May I help you?"
Si Mun nodded. "I'm new here, but I'll only be staying a week."
The lady nodded. She pulled out some papers from her desk drawer and picked a pen up for her desk.
"Just fill these three forms out. Since you'll be staying at HKH for a week, I'll just make a copy of Syaoran's schedule and you two can go to the same classes."
Syaoran nodded. "Thank you Mrs. Wu." He took his schedule from his binder and handed it to her.
Mrs. Wu took them. "I have to go to the teachers room to make the copy, so when your done with the forms just set them on my desk and you can sit at a chair to wait."
Si Mun watched Mrs. Wu walk hurriedly out the door.
*~*~*~* Same day in Japan - Wednesday - First day of school
Sakura walked through the door and sat at her seat.
Tomoyo was surprised. "You're early today!"
"I set the alarm clock 20 minutes earlier." Sakura replied, satisfied with her timing this morning.
Terada-sensei walked in the door.
"Good morning class and welcome back to Seijyo high!"
Everybody groaned. Another long high school year.
"I have a few announcements to make." Terada sensei looked down at a piece of paper on his desk.
"Cheerleader tryouts are next week and same with the soccer tryouts." Terada sensei read off the paper. "Chorus tryouts are on this Friday. So that's in two days. Football and basketball tryouts are on next Monday."
Terada sensei dropped the paper back down onto his desk. "Now that's over with. The next announcement I have is that we have two new students. Please come in."
First walked a girl with light brown hair. It was medium length and in a ponytail. She had light brown eyes and a very nice figure. She smiled in greetings to the class as she looked at them. Many of the boys looked like they were about to melt when she smiled. Her eyes caught sight of Sakura and she smiled at her. She seemed very friendly.
Sakura recognized the next person right away. It was Mark. His blue hair was slightly waving in front of his eyes. He smiled at Sakura, so she smiled back. Many girls pouted with jealousy.
Terada sensei first pointed to the girl.
"This is Li Jing. She's from China."
Then he pointed to the boy.
"This is Wong Mark, also from China."
*~*~*~* Recess and/or lunch time
Sakura and Jing introduced themselves to each other. Even though Jing already knew Sakura she just went along with it. Sakura was happy she made a new friend. She led Jing over to everybody else and introduced him or her one at a time.
"So would you like to eat lunch with my friends?" Sakura asked.
Jing nodded. "Sure."
Sakura and Jing sat with the rest of the crew. The boys were playing soccer so it was only Chiharu, Tomoyo, Rika and Naoko.
Mark had made friends with a boy in a different class. His name was Bobby. He was the star football player last year and was quite popular so Mark became fairly popular by the first day. Mark sat with Bobby and all his other popular friends during recess or lunchtime. Bobby had a large build. His grades weren't the best but they weren't the worst. Bobby also had a large obsession or crush on Sakura and Tomoyo. Bobby thought they were both really pretty.
Sakura stood up. "I think I forgot my soda in my bag. I'm going back inside to get it."
"Don't take too long, lunch time is about to end soon." Rika piped up.
"I won't." Sakura ran to the classroom.
*~*~*~*
Sakura ran down the halls in a fast jog. She slowed down as she neared her classroom. She went in and saw her bag. With her back to the door, she didn't notice two other people walk in after her. Sakura reached in for the soda bottle.
Everything unexpectedly became pitch dark. Sakura screamed in fright. She heard another person scream not too far off.
"Tomoyo?" Sakura cried out.
"Sakura? Where are you? What happened?" Tomoyo responded with a shriek.
A warm hand grabbed onto Sakura's arm.
"Sakura! Use the Light card."
Sakura was shocked. "Jing?? Is that you??"
"Yes its is! Use the Light card! Before they come!" Jing tightened her hold on Sakura.
"Before who comes?" Sakura was puzzled. Who did she mean? Wait a minute! How does she know about the cards?!
"What happens if someone sees us?!" Sakura put her hand over her clow wand and cherry blossom crystal for comfort.
"Just do it!"
They all heard an erie scattering of clicks.
Sakura decided to not waste any more time. Sakura got into her pose.
Sakura concentrated on her cherry blossom crystal like how she did in her last training session. Then she felt the slight tingle again from the back of her mind. She didn't know it but the cherry blossom did the same thing, it gave off the bright twinkle of light.
"Light card!" Sakura yelled out.
Behind her stood Light. She gave off a bright light all around the room. Just about a step away from Sakura stood Jing and about a step away from Jing stood Tomoyo.
Tomoyo screamed. Two feet away stood two gigantic spiders. They were about three feet tall and just as wide. Three large black eyes of each head and the hairy bodies made them look very creepy and menacing.
Jing held out her pendant. She concentrated a bit. Then in the pendant's place was a beautiful golden colored sword with the orb on the handle. The red tassel, which swayed about, was at the end of a string that came out of the hilt.
Jing let go of Sakura's arm and stood in front of Tomoyo to protect her because the two spiders were closer to Tomoyo.
"I call upon an element! FIRE!" Jing drew her sword in front of her face with her right hand. With her left hand she put two fingers, her index and middle on one of the flat sides of the sword. Which was the side facing her. The sword's sharp tip pointed up. At the handle, her orb glowed brighter and from where her two fingers were placed on the sword, came a wide stream of hot and burning fire.
The spiders writhed in agony. Their legs spread out from under their bodies as they sunk to the floor.
Jing stopped the fire. The spiders lay dead on the ground. The electric lights came back on and the darkness left.
Sakura called back the Light card. "Thank you Light." She first said to the card. "Light card! Return!" The Light card vanished.
Sakura then faced Jing. She let go of all the questions that were filling her head. "How do you know about the Clow Cards? How do you know I'm the Clow card Mistress? Where did you learn magic? Did someone ask you to come here? What was that spider? Who did that?" Sakura was about to let loose another round of questions but Jing stopped her.
She sighed in defeat first. "I guess I'll have to tell you everything."
"You have to explain! Please!" Sakura pleaded.
"Why don't you come over my apartment this afternoon? I'm afraid we don't have much lunch time left." Jing called back her sword. Sakura and Tomoyo agreed to come over after school.
"Sakura! You've gotten so much stronger! Have you been training without telling me?" Tomoyo sternly asked Sakura.
"Yeah… I've … b.. been training over the summer with ..Ke.. Kero a few times." Sakura stuttered out as Tomoyo gave her the why-didn't-you-tell-me look.
'More like a thousand times.' Jing thought.
All three of them headed back out to Rika, Naoko and Chiharu to finish lunch before the bell rang.
*~*~*~*
Si Mun was getting uncomfortable. "Can you please stop that?"
The boy just stared at her in fascination. "Wow…"
The boy had big green eyes. His lanky figure and black rimmed glasses made him look really dorky. Si Mun was starting to get fed up. She was ready to punch the living day lights out of him if he didn't stop this right now.
Then Syaoran came up behind her and sat next to her with his lunch. He caught the boy staring at Si Mun. "What did you do?" Syaoran asked her quietly.
"Nothing!" Si Mun whined. She was about to get up and leave when Syaoran pushed her back down.
"What??!" Si Mun asked annoyed. "Wait until another girl passes by. That might get his attention." Syaoran advised. "Just ignore him for now. Simon always does this. I think he's done it to almost every girl in this school."
For ten minutes of waiting and seeing other girls pass by her, Simon still stared. Si Mun decided to punch Simon out right then and there or else he wouldn't stop.
She stood up. The boy stood up too. Si Mun didn't notice a figure coming up behind her.
She stared back at the boy. Then as quick as a flash, she punched him straight in the face. Syaoran didn't even get a chance to stop her.
The boy fell back and hit the floor. Simon was knocked out unconscious for a few brief moments before he woke up again. He had a bloody nose and ran to the nurses' office without taking a backward look at Si Mun since he was too engrossed with his current situation.
"Serves him right." Si Mun muttered. Then she noticed people staring at her because they have never seen a girl punch that hard before. She glared back. Everyone turned around and pretended like nothing had happened.
Si Mun then felt a tap at her shoulder. She turned around. Syaoran did too.
"Hey! That was so cool! Finally a girl has beat him up! Simon deserves that with annoying almost every single girl here." Said a pretty blonde hair girl. She put her hand out. "Hi I'm La Ping Gua. I came over because I noticed him staring at you for … how long? Ten minutes?" She shrugged her shoulders.
