The Diary of Sakura Kinomoto
Summary: The story line is similar to Bridget Jones' Diary only the CCS characters are incorporated into it. And I had to steal a few moments that happened in the movie.
Otherwise it's just a story about Sakura Kinomoto a seventeen year old, who is determined to make this year her best ever. She sets up some resolutions for herself and begins a diary to keep track of her life.

***********
"Just something about you." A soft voice said
".the way I'm looking at you- whatever -keep looking at me." A pair of emerald eye's appeared in the reflection of a small round mirror as the owner sang
"Getting scared now.right? Don't feel me baby It's just Sakura!"
She said as she got dressed to the Justin Timberlake song 'Like I Love you', making a few adjustments to the song as she paraded around her bedroom and jumped on the bed to the beat, feeling a mix of hyper-ness and drunkenness.
Downstairs her Father was hosting a New Years Party for all his friend's, colleagues and extended family members. Laughter and music muffled through the girl's door as she finished getting ready in an outfit that her best friend specially designed and created for her. She looked in the mirror and examined herself, as she pulled her short honey brown hair into a quick Ponytail.
"Hello my name is Sakura Kinomoto!" she said staring seriously at her image as she mentally prepared to go down and greet her father's friends and colleagues, as the music from her stereo continued to blare through the speakers,
"I am Seventeen years old," she continued, brushing her fringe to one side, shaking her hips.
"Do I like school?" she said, pretending her reflection asked her a question, she widened her green eyes and put a hand on her chest then burst out laughing as if the question was a joke. Then stopped and took a huge sip from a wine glass that was sitting on a dressing table near her mirror
Sakura then glanced seriously back at her reflection, "It breaks my heart to think that this will be my final year at Tomoeda High, I only wish that I could've." she looked up at the ceiling searching for the right word, ".contributed more to the.school!"
She twirled around as the song ended and tossed herself a grin, as she Lip synced the end of the song,
"You know, I used to dream about this when I was a little boy." She stared at herself seriously in the mirror, checking her eye make up, "I never thought it would end up this way-drums!" she bounced up and down pretending to play the drums as the song faded.
A knock on the door interrupted her followed by a voice,
"Sakura, are you ready yet?"
Sakura glanced at the door and then back at the mirror examining her outfit, a one piece lime green dress with a white collar, that was well fitting around her upper torso and flared out at the end and ended just above her knee. Her long legs were covered with white opaque stockings and she wore black leather shoes with buckles. Then sighed,
My name is Sakura Kinomoto. I am a 17 year old, and am currently getting ready for my father's annual New Years Eve Party, which is basically just a room full of old farts getting pissed until midnight, only to realize an hour later that they have forgotten to welcome the New Year.
It happened last year, only last year it was just Dad, Myself and my older brother Touya watching those New Years eve specials on the television. That was the night I was introduced to my good friend alcohol.a fantastic cure for boring nights. The next morning I had my first Hangover.it wasn't very pretty!
This year is going to be different though, starting from tonight.
I will go downstairs.
I will socialize with all the old's.
I will not drink myself to oblivion.
All while looking like I've just escaped from Santa's Workshop.
"Sakura?" her friend banged on the door this time, "Hurry up, I want to see how your outfit looks!" her friend demanded impatiently, Sakura grabbed the wine glass that sat on her dresser, flung open the door and smiled at a girl with long dark wavy hair, who stuck a video camera in Sakura's face, "Ohh Kawaii!" she gushed, her amethyst eye's shining in delight.
Tomoyo Daidouji
My best friend since I was 11 years old and in the six years that I have known her, has never been seen without her 'precious' video camera.
1st Resolution for the New Year: MUST avoid being Cute (Kawaii) at all COSTS!!!
Sakura smiled at her friend trying to keep her mind off the ridiculous outfit. She took a sip of her drink, her own secret recipe, which consisted of loads of Vodka and a drop of Orange juice for colour. Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's hand excitedly and lead her downstairs to the party.
Everyone was gathered in the living room and were mostly middle aged, senior citizens, or married. Sakura could see her Father chatting to a group of very important looking people in the far corner of the living room as she entered the room with Tomoyo.
"Oooh extremely hot male at twelve o'clock!" Tomoyo whispered pointing her camera towards a tall man in a business suit with short dark brown hair and deep serious eyes.
"Aw gross Tommy!" I cried leaning against the doorframe in disgust, "That's Touya you're perving at! YUCK!"
Tomoyo flashed a quick devilish grin at her friend, and held her camera to her side, "I'll see you around!" then she turned to head straight in Sakura's brothers direction. Sakura rolled her eye's at her boy crazy friend and chuckled to herself as she walked inside the living room, smiling at the various strangers that occupied her house.
"SAKURA!!" a cheerful voice cried, she briskly turned towards the unusually high pitched male voice. It could mean only one thing.
"Hello Charlie." Sakura replied friendily,
I've known him most my life. His father works at the University with my Dad, so we (unfortunately) see each other often. If there is one person in the world that you should definantly NOT meet, that person is Charlie Chang. He is utterly boring and spends all his time chatting about Mice.not to mention the huge mole on his pasty white left cheek should be mentioned in the guinness book of records for being so big, fat and ugly.to put it nicely
She smiled at the guy who was a year older than her and then took another sip of her drink, hoping the alcohol would do it's job and make the guy appear more appealing than he already was. When Charlie reached Sakura however, it seemed to have the opposite affect. Sakura couldn't take her eyes of his HUGE-
"My word!" he said staring at her affectionately, "You certainly look rather." his blue beady eye's ran up and down her outfit, ".interesting!"
M-OLE!!!
"Uh yes. Well." she started, chuckling to herself, she trailed off and unaware of her actions and unconsciously continued to stare at his.MOLE "I kinda lost a bet to my best friend!" she explained to him, her eye's averting their gaze and quickly taking another sip of her drink.
2nd Resolution for New Year: Never make bets on anything again.especially with Tomoyo!!!.MOLE!
"You look very beautiful though!" he said smiling and taking a step forward, running a hand through his brown hair which was piled with gel and slicked back. Sakura laughed and gave him a friendly push, that was a bit over exagerated, sending him a good distance away from her.
"Enough about Me!" she exclaimed cheerfully "Tell me what's up with you?MOLE!MOLE!MOLE!Learnt any new thing's aboutBig Fat Moles?Mice?" she choked out regretfully.
Charlie smiled "Actually I've spent most my time showing my 2nd cousin around. You may remember him, Syaoran Li?" Sakura looked blankly at him, "He used to live in Tomoeda and we'd all hang out together as kids." He said wondering if she remembered yet, "You used to run around the house chasing the dog.naked!"
WHAT?????
"WHAT????" Sakura exclaimed,
"You were only, like four though." He said quickly observing the horrified look on her face,
"Oh!" Sakura frowned and then forced a smile, looking for a way out of this conversation.
"He's here you know. Syaoran!" Charlie said quickly noting Sakura's wandering expression, he pulled Sakura with him towards the opposite side of the room where a tall and dashing gentleman stood gazing out the window. Sakura's breath caught in her throat. He was dressed in neatly ironed Khakis, and a navy sweater. "Syaoran, look who I found!" Charlie announced still holding Sakura's arm.
Li averted his attention to his cousin hesitantly, he turned to face Charlie and Sakura slouching a little and stuffing his hand's in his pockets, his chocolate coloured hair tousled in the way of his serious amber eyes.
Hmm, this guy has got definate potential, I wonder if he's single!
"This is Sakura Kinomoto," Charlie said, Sakura smiled cheerfully,
"Hello." She stuck out her hand enthusiatically as Li slowly reacted by accepting the gesture
"Uh hello." He said bluntly, he looked her up and down cautiously, Never wear a creation of Tomoyo's ever again Sakura felt a little self- conscious under his gaze as he spoke again, "Nice.costume!"
A frown appeared across Sakura's face breifly, she couldn't decide if he was being nice or mocking her, instead of snapping at the stranger she let out a laugh,
"Ha ha ha, yes well, my best friend Tomoyo designed it and well I kinda lost a bet to her that I could lay off the parties for at least 3 weeks." She explained, Li-kun looked at her as if she were mad, I must be mad!!! so Sakura tried to play it cool, "Uh so." she started changing the topic, "Charlies say's I used to run around your house naked." She blurted out.
It's a known fact that alcohol always kicks in at exactly the wrong time
There was an awkward silence between the three, as Sakura nervously took a huge gulp of her drink only to discover her glass was empty. This was probably a good time to exit.
She raised her glass, "Well then," she started crinkling her eyes, her cherry smile still on her face as she backed up, "It was nice seeing you boys again." Sakura bumped into an old man accidently, "Oh shit! I'm so sorry Mister!" she apologised rapidly then turned back to the guy's who were both watching her as she walked briskly away.
"SO what do you think of her?" Charlie asked looking at his cousin, a while later when he found his cousin at the refreshment table
Syaoran looked at his Charlie, "Who?" he asked
"Sakura?"
Sakura's ears popped up as she heard her name, she was less than a couple of metres away from Charlie and Syaroan, but her presence wasn't noticed.
"You mean what do I think of a little girl who openly drinks herself silly and is happy to humiliate herself in front of strangers in a ridiculous green costume?" He muttered, "She seems pretty pathetic!"
Pathetic?
Syaoran noticed Charlie's eyes widen as he said that, he then motioned behind Syaoran to Sakura, who had been helping herself to a plate full of Dim-sums. Syaoran caught the shocked look on her face and immediately felt bad for what he said. Sakura forced back what she'd heard and forced a smile, pretending she didn't hear the Jerk just call her pathetic Just because he is a sad bitter arsehole.does not mean my mood should be ruined.and where the fuck is the damn champagne!!
"Uh, you guy's should try these thing's." she blurted out, "they are fucking good!"
Sakura popped one in her mouth and went off to find Tomoyo, wanting to get the New Year over with. She didn't care what some stupid boy thought about her.did she?
Actually. I was pretty pissed off at what he said.How dare he. He doesn't have any FUCKING idea what I'm like and he has the nerve to assume that I'm an alcoholic at 17 and am quite happy to embarress myself in public.Let me get one thing straight.I am NOT an alcoholic. Sure I like the occasional drink, what teenager doesn't?.Besides I drink only during special occasions, and on day's Tomoyo makes me wear her costumes in public.Honest! And it's not my fault I'm so foolish. I try so hard not to make a fool of myself. People are just too hard to please these days.
Well all that is about to change!
From now on, I am going to clean up my act.
I am going to pay attention to every single thing that happens this year.
I am going to enjoy my last year of dependance from my Father
And I was certainly not going to think about a certain cute and charming male, who also just so happens to be my next door neighbour.
.Starting from Tomorrow!
