Chapter 1
~~~~~
The girl with the emerald eyes ran down the running track. All the guys were looking at her dreamily because she was the most popular girl in school and she was really pretty, it was every guy's dream to go out with Sakura Avalon. She got to the end of the track and the PE teacher, Mr Terada, said
"Congratulations, you've got a qualifying time, you're on the 100m sprint team" he gave her a permission slip "Get your parents to sign this and bring it back to me as soon as you can"
"Yeah!" Sakura was really happy
Her best friend, Madison ran up to her and gave her a towel, "I got it all on tape for you" she said, patting her camera.
"Sakura!"
Sakura turned around and saw her other 3 best friends, Chelsea, Nikki and Rita, coming towards her.
"Hi guys," she said
"Great run, did you make the team?" Chelsea asked
"Yeah and I'm going to Hong Kong in 2 weeks time, so I'd better train hard" Sakura replied.
"And I'm going too," Madison said, "I'm the official camera-person"
"Well, good luck with your training" Rita said
"Yeah, I know I could never do anything like that, you should be glad that you're good at sports," Nikki said
"Thanks" Sakura said, blushing at the compliment
She looked at the time "Oh no! I told Dad I'd be home already, See you guys tomorrow, kay?"
She ran off.
"Well, she does do a lot of training" Madison said indicating to Sakura who was running to get home in time.
The other three laughed.
~~~~~
Sakura got home just in time, her Dad was parking the car outside their house just as she got to the gate.
"Whew, just in time" she said to herself
"Hi Dad, I need you to sign this permission slip, I'm on the track team and I'm going to Hong Kong in 2 weeks" she said really fast
"I don't know if I got all that but I gather that you got on the track team and you're going to Hong Kong and you want me to sign this permission slip, is that right?" he asked
Sakura nodded, smiling.
They went inside and Tori saw her
"Hey squirt, did you make the team?" he asked
"Yes, and for your information, I'm not a squirt anymore, I'm 17 years old and I'm going to Hong Kong for the Championships, I don't know why it's Hong Kong but it's got something to do with an interschool thing, I don't really understand it, but hey, I'm going to Hong Kong!!"
~~~In Hong Kong~~~
Li Showron had just finished soccer practise and was going to the showers, his school was doing some athletics exchange with another school from Japan, he was on the 100m sprint team and the soccer team, his two favourite sports (if you can call 100m sprints a sport).
He felt sad, just hearing the word Japan made him think of Sakura and how painful it was for him to leave. He still thought of her even after all this time, he wondered if she still remembered him or she had moved on. He had tried but the girls he'd dated didn't make him feel the way Sakura had made him feel. He had his shower and went home he went straight to his room and turned his music on real loud and just sat on his bed.
"Li, it's dinnertime" his sister called
He went downstairs and ate his dinner in silence. His cousin, Meilin was visiting, she was staying with them for a while. He used to be engaged to her, but his mother saw that they didn't really like each other and called it off, he was glad because as far as he was concerned, he was saving himself for one person and one person only, even though he'd never heard from her for about four years, he still liked her.
~~~Back in Japan~~~
*Ring-ring…Ring-ring*
"I'll get it!" Sakura called
She picked up the phone
"Hello?"
"Hi Sakura, it's Madison""Hey, sorry I had to run off like that today, I just had to be home"
"Yeah, that's okay, I just wanted to know if you were fine""I'm fine, why do you say that?"
"Well, the athletics thing is in Hong Kong and we both know who's in Hong Kong""Oh, you mean Li? Well, Hong Kong's a big place and there's not much chance of me meeting him again, so I'm not even bothering thinking about it"
*Yeah, sure* Madison thought *Since when don't you think about Li?*
"I suppose, anyway, I've got to go now, I'll see you tomorrow at school""Kay, see you tomorrow"
*Click* they both hung up the phone at the same time.
*Why did she have to mention Li?* she wondered
*She knows I miss him like crazy, I've always lived with the hope that he'll come back for me one day, I just wish he'd call, I would call him if I had his phone number* she thought ignoring the fact that Madison had her ways and means so if she really wanted his phone number, Madison would be the first one to help.
She got some pudding out of the fridge, Tori came along and said,
"Why are you getting more pudding? You already had some"
"It's for Kero, he'll bug me if I don't bring him any" she said, she had told her Dad and Tori about the Clow Cards and Kero because she hated keeping secrets from them.
She walked upstairs and opened the door
Kero flew over to her and said happily "Pudding, pudding, my sweet, sweet pudding!" in his Kero-ish way and he grabbed the pudding off her cradling it like a baby.
"Yeah, you're welcome" Sakura said laughing at Kero's eating
She went to bed early because she knew that she had lots of training to do and she'd get really tired.
"Goodnight Kero, when you've finished your pudding, can you go wash the plate out, thanks"
She soon fell asleep thinking of Li.
