Like A Shooting Star

Chapter 4

Sakura's alarm clock rang shrilly in the morning at 7:00am, but she didn't stir. Today was the first day at her new school and it looked like she was going to be late.

"ALICE!!!! COME ON, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE IF YOU DON'T GET UP NOW!" Taryn called up the stairs as she began to climb them. She knew that it would take a lot of work to wake Sakura up.

"COMING!" Taryn was surprised when Sakura answered and she was even more surprised when she found that Sakura was almost finished getting dressed. Taryn glanced at the clock to make sure that she was thinking that it was the right time, and the clock read 7:15. She had been thinking it was the right time.

"Alice, I'm surprised! You're already up and I didn't have to drag you out of bed. Are you nervous or something?" Sakura just smiled at Taryn's question.

"Yeah, I suppose I am nervous. I don't want to make a bad impression on my classmates by being late. I would look like a klutz," Sakura finished brushing her hair and turned calmly to face Taryn, "and besides, I set three alarm clocks." She said that while pointing to her bed where 3 alarm clocks lay.

"Ah, I see. Don't worry Alice, everybody at the school will love you. Just be your happy, cheerful self," Taryn smiled as her adopted daughter spun around in a circle, grabbing her bag and her school hat, "now we'd better go downstairs and eat or you'll never be ready to go." They walked down the stairs together and then chatted while they ate breakfast.

"I've got to go mum, I'll see you later!" Sakura went to the door and put on her roller blades.

"Have fun at school Alice and make a lot of friends!" Taryn called after her, watching her speed along the path, "Good luck!" Sakura sped away from the house and then slowed down to look at the town that she was going live in for at least the next 2 years. She was slowly skating along when she caught up with Touya on his bike.

"Hi Touya!" she called out to him as she skated up beside him, "how are you going?"

"Hi S-Alice! I'm alright. Is it your first day of school here?" Touya still couldn't believe her resemblance to his little sister and it was heightened by the sunlight that was on her.

"Yep! I hope that they will like me; the only school I've been to was one that I started at when I was really little, so I can't remember how to really act when I'm a new student, but I'm sure I'll get it somehow," Sakura was easily matching the speed of his bike and she saw another guy who seemed to be Touya's age waiting for someone.

"Hi Touya! And who are you? My name is Yukito, and I live down the street from here," he said, introducing himself to Sakura, 'gosh she does look like little Sakura did.'

"My name is Alice Hoay. Nice to meet you," Sakura replied and she couldn't help but think that she knew the guy. They went along the street for a while and then they came to Sakura's new school.

"Goodbye Alice, maybe we'll see you later," Yukito told her and they both wished her good luck before they continued on until the high school. Sakura took a big breath as she made her way to the office. She didn't know her way around at all and she was scared that she was going to get lost. Luckily there was a sign that told her where the office was and so she followed the sign to where she had been told to go.

"Um. Hi, my name is Alice Hoay and I'm new here," she said to the receptionist as she walked into the office. The lady looked up and smiled.

"Hello Alice. I'll make sure that you get to the right class. I'll take you to your teacher," the woman's voice was friendly and Sakura felt most of her nerves melt, but she was still a bit nervous.

"Thank you very much," Sakura said and the receptionist checked something on the computer before she got up and showed Sakura to a teacher.

"Hello Alice, I'm Mr. Terada, your teacher," the man said as the receptionist introduced Sakura to him.

"Hi," she said back, feeling like a fool because she was nervous.

"Come on Alice, you don't need to be nervous. My class is very nice and they will all love you, I'm sure of it! Now come on and we'll go to class," Mr. Terada started to walk down the corridor and Sakura trailed after him, her nerves gone.

"Hi Syaoran!" Eriol called out cheerfully. The amber eyed boy didn't answer. Eriol gave up and sat down in his seat, which was behind Syaoran. A girl walked into the room and called out to Eriol.

"Hi Eriol! Did you hear that there's a new student coming into our class?" she asked as she took her seat at the desk one in front and to the left of Syaoran's desk.

"Hi Tomoyo! Do you know who the new student is?" Eriol looked at the girl to see her shake her head. Syaoran wasn't really listening to the conversation, he was still replaying the same flashback over and over in his head. He didn't know why he kept on remembering that day, but he couldn't get the girl out of his head for some reason.

"Mr. Terada's coming! Quick, everyone stand up!" someone whispered and they all stood up and became silent. Mr. Terada and a girl which no one had seen before entered the room.

"Good morning everyone, please be seated. Today we have a new student in our class. Everybody this is Alice Hoay and she's new to this town. Please welcome her and Tomoyo, could you please show her around the school. Now Alice, could you please sit there next to Tomoyo and in front of Syaoran," Mt. Terada introduced her quickly and Sakura had kept her head down. Only when he had finished did she quickly look up to see where she was going to sit. Her nerves had returned. When Syaoran saw her look up, he couldn't believe his eyes. The new girl looked exactly like his best friend Sakura would look like if she had lived to be this old. He couldn't believe it and he was too shocked to listen or move as Sakura took her seat in front of him and the lesson began.
