BASIC SUMMARY- Sakura has just moved to Hong Kong because of her dad. She has also had her heart shattered by a particular boy and she is now somewhat relieved that she was able to get away from him. Now Sakura will be meeting new people in her new life in HONG KONG. Who will she meet? (hint hint. nudge nudge. wink wink~!) Will she face any new problems? Who will help her? Will she be able to meet THE ONE?????

-+:~*Watching Over Me*~:+-

Chapter 1~

Her footsteps echoed as she timidly walked down the clean halls of Hong Kong High (aka HKH). Trying to calm her nerves, Sakura slowly breathed in, and out, in, out.

She glanced at her timetable, checking her homeroom number for the one billionth time.

Room 13. Great room number for a home room. She wasn't superstitious but for some reason, it gave her the creeps.

Sakura shuddered as she stopped in front of, what was it again? Check the timetable again. Yep, room 13. She nervously straightened her already crisp new uniform and tugged her bag over her shoulders and slowly knocked on the door.

knock. knock. knock.

- inside the classroom -

The classroom was filled with 10th grade students, who at the moment, were making a great din that rang throughout the room.

Girls gossiping here, boys joking around there, not a serious face in sight.

All, except for one intensely serious face. This particular visage could belong to none other than the famous Li Xiao Lang. The heir to the great Li Clan of Hong Kong, the most powerful clan of all, and also the richest. So, to follow suit, our certain teenage boy was also powerful, and also rich, and also...very handsome.

He was exasperated. These girls wouldn't leave him alone. Always drooling over him, just because he was rich....and famous...and .. talented....and...um...handsome, although it was a gift that he would have preferred not to possess. He slowly turned away from the shining eyes and supposed-to-be irresistible smiles, all neatly showing under the tonne of make up each of them were wearing.

"Hey Li so when's soccer practise again?" asked Ken, one of his loyal friends.

"Wednesday afternoon" Xiao Lang grunted. Being the captain of HKH's soccer team (and every other soccer team he had been in) , Xiao Lang had to organise training times and he worked his team into the best players they could be. He was an extremely good player but he definitely wasn't a friendly leader.

Suddenly the classroom door opened to reveal Chan Xi Han, the 10th grade teacher. And straight away, the babble of voices were replaced by sounds of chairs moving around, students scuttling to their seats and students putting away any items that could be confiscated.

"Welcome to the first day of term one, yr 10. Hopefully your brains will be fresh because we have a lot of work to get through this year!" the teacher announced, which was replied with a groan from all the students, excluding a few of course!

"I am glad to see all of you again, safe and sound after the holidays. Oh and before I forget we will be having a new student joining us this year, from Japan. Please make her feel welcome. I'm sure she'll be here soon-"

knock knock knock

"Ah here she is - Come in!"

The door opened to reveal a small and pretty girl, who instantly caught the attention of many boys in the room, and also the attention of many girls who felt a pang of jealously as they slowly scrutinized the newcomer, who was supposedly stealing their men!

"Welcome to HKH. Please introduce yourself to your new class." smiled the teacher.

"Hai...I mean yes," Sakura started, "Hi, I am Kinomoto Sakura from Japan. I moved here because of my father's business. I hope that i will be able to get along well with all of you!"

Sakura looked at the sea of faces before her. Not many seemed very welcoming. Had she said something wrong? She had tried her best to hide her shyness and had tried to speak with her friendliest voice.

Sakura nervously looked to the teacher for help who said "OK Sakura, where shall we seat you? Ah how about there on the left, last row?"

Sakura slowly stepped towards the sea of faces, and abruptly lowered her head, not liking the many pairs of eyes watching her take her seat, as if they would look down on her if she made one little mistake. Actually, may be they already did look down on her.

The teacher continued to make announcements to the students which Sakura didn't hear any of because she was busy fidgeting around in her seat, drowning in anxiety. Finally the bell rang for first class, and Sakura sighed with relief. She hated the tension around her as her classmates continued to exclude her.

She quietly withdrew from the classroom, once again studying her timetable for her first class.

No-her first class just had to be maths!

She searched the halls for her maths class, not even bothering to ask her classmates as each of them were obviously not liking her.

Sakura involuntarily walked with her head down, her newfound confidence already drifting away from her-

BANG!

Sakura crashed into something and fell to the hard floor of the hallway, dropping her books and her bag.

"Ow! Watch where you're going!" cried a vexed voice. "You ruined my hair! Ah! My shoes! My perfectly polished shoes! How dare you!"

Sakura winced as she slowly got up to face the girl who was obviously screaming at her.

"I-I-I'm sorry..."

"Sorry? You're not going to get away with just saying sorry! Don't even think I'm going to be extra nice, just because you're new! Now pick up my stuff, before they get infested with the dirty germs they have on this filthy floor. Go on!"

Sakura quickly retreated to the floor, collecting the girl's belongings, hearing the sniggering from above her. She sighed as she had her confidence stepped on once again. Was that all she was worth? Being on the same level as shoes and feet?

"H-here..." Sakura got up again and handed the girl's books to their owner.

"Hmph!" the girl stuck her head up and turned away, walking away with her friends who were still sniggering over the state that the new girl had been in, on her first day! They were pleased with the girl's triumph over the new japanese girl.

¡¡

Try as she might, Sakura couldn't hold back the tears that were accumulating in her eyes as she collected her belongings that had been scattered around on the floor. She got up, with all her books, straightened her uniform when she heard a voice.

"You forgot this."

Sakura turned to meet a handsome boy, with long chestnut bangs that just covered his amber eyes. He was much taller than Sakura and she had to look up at the boy. She lowered her eyes to his hands which were holding a familiar looking piece of paper. Oh her timetable! She quickly wiped away any tears that had escaped.

"Th-th-th-thank you" Sakura stuttered as she carefully took the timetable from the boy's hands.

"We're in the same class. I'll take you there."

"Oh...th-thank you...."

Sakura scuttled behind the tall boy. She had to walk quickly to keep up with his long strides.

Sakura looked up to the boy. The first person who had actually been nice to her. He stopped and was about to enter a room when Sakura gathered up all her courage and asked, "Um...may I have your name?"

"Li"

"You can call me Sakura, Li"

Xiao Lang entered the room leaving Sakura who made a small smile. At least she had someone she could look to if she really needed help!
