That's my alarm clock. Waking me up for my first class in Tokyo University. I am so nervous. But, at the same time, I am very excited.

I quickly got out of bed, trying not to wake Tomoyo. Her classes doesn't begin until the afternoon. Swiftly, in 20 minutes, I showered, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. Although I look fine, my stomach doesn't feel fine. I am hungry, but no time for food. I quickly grabbed a piece of bread and got on my way to my Marine Biology one.

While munching on my bread, walking, and check to see if I have enough supplies. I didn't notice Syaoran.

*CRASH*

"I am so sorry!" I got up and bowed. Books were scattered everywhere.

"It's okay, Sakura." I recongized that voice.

"Syaoran-kun." A smile broke into my face.

"Ohayou, Sakura-chan. Ready for your first class?" He generously helped me and picked up all my books.

"Ohayou, I don't think I'm ready." I bit my lip nervously.

I thanked him as we walk to our classroom together.

"You'll do fine." He said with a gentle laugh.

"I hope so!" My smile widened.

"Look! Room A206." There it was, a grey door. Once I open this door. It will begin my university career.

"Come on!" He led me in.

The classroom was already half full. People looked up from their textbooks. Some didn't seem to care who their classmates were.

Suddenly, an elder man in a white lab coat stepped out to us.

"You must be Sakura Kinomoto!" He held out his hand. "I love the research papers your father wrote. And I am very happy to have you in my class." He grinned.

And I? Relaxed….

Soon after, more students arrived, and the room was full.

"Find a seat anywhere. Make yourself comfortable." He folded his hands and rested them on the desk. "I am Professor Takashima. And for the next year. I will be your Marine Biology teacher."

I glanced around nervously, everyone seemed to like the professor a lot. But, still….

A hand rested on mine. It was Syaoran's.

"It'll be fine!" His smile reassured myself.

A blush appeared on my face.

"Class is dismissed! And no homework today." Professor Takashima called out.

I really enjoyed our first class together. I hope all of them will be this fun.

"Sakura-chan?" Syaoran looked in my eyes.

"Hai…?" I mumbled.

"Do you have anymore classes for the rest of the day?" He asked.

"No." I looked through my schedule.

"Today only one class. Tomorrow..three." I sighed deeply.

"Three?" He asked.

"Yeah, on forms of animals and stuff. And this really interesting one called The discovery of medicine." I grinned.

"Sounds fun! Since you have no more classes until tomorrow. Does Ice-cream sound good to you?" He asked.

"Great! Let's go to that place that we went to last night." My eyes glistened.

"Sure." We rode in Syaoran's Lexus LS300. And in no time, we arrived.

"Okay, let's go in." He parked his car and we stepped into the café.

We grabbed two stool seats by the window.

"What would you like today?" A waitress appeared.

"Chocolate Cheese cake and a strawberry milkshake please." I replied.

"Do you think it's safe to eat those two together?" He joked. "I would like a strawberry shortcake and a chocolate milkshake."

"Haha, real funny!" I put on a sour face.

Gently, his index finger poked my cheek. Making me break into a smile.

"Aren't you cute?" He grinned.

"Now, stop it." I pushed his hand away playfully. I think he was about to tickle me. Good thing, our desserts arrived.

We ate, and shared. I tried his shortcake, while he took bites out of my cheesecake. We had such a fun afternoon together.

"Hey, you're home late." Tomoyo greeted me when I arrived at our apartment.

"Yeah, sorry." I dropped the keys and fell on the couch.

"You look beat, what'd you do?" Tomoyo asked.

"Class, then I went to eat cake with Syaoran, then a walk, a LONG walk." I rested my head on a pillow.

"Oooh! Syaoran! Ar you guys getting along? Do you think it'll work out?" Tomoyo's eyes sparkled with curiousity.

"Oh, Tomoyo. Thanks a bunch for introducing me to this great friend. But I don't think it'll work out." I buried my head in a cushion.

"Sakura, I mean it just might work. It's been a long time since you last had a someone. And Syaoran is fantastic."

"Why don't you go out with him then?" I grinned.

"Because I am a nice friend." She giggled.

"Haha!" I threw a cushion at her.

Maybe…. We could be
