I don't Own CCS

Chapter 3
Sakura waited patiently in the lobby for the instructor to arrive. She was pretty nervous, she had never surfed before in her life and it looked like everyone in Miami did. The closest she had gotten to doing something like that was snowboarding. But that was a long time ago before she even lived in New York.
After a while some kids sat down near her and waited as well. Sakura looked at her watch, it was 8:50am. Just then a guy in an instructor's uniform walked towards them after consulting the clerk at the desk. As he got closer Sakura recognized him as the guy she had bumped into the other day. 'Please don't let him be my instructor, please don't let him be my instructor.' She prayed over and over.
"Hi everybody, are all of you here for the beginners surfing course? Syaoran asked the kids sitting down on the benches. Most of them said yes, including a girl with auburn hair and emerald eyes. 'Hmm.she looks a bit familiar-but isn't she too old for my class?' He wondered to himself. " Well all of you come with me, we're going to pick out your surfboards." Syaoran said to his class.
' Oh no.' Sakura thought. 'This is NOT happening, I can't believe he is my instructor, well at least he doesn't seem to recognize me. But why am I in a class along with kids who are about 7 to 10 years old? This is so embarrassing, oh god, and I'm the only one wearing a two piece bikini, can this get any worse?
Everyone followed Syaoran to the surfboard shack and went inside. "Now everyone, I want you to line up before the scale so I can measure you." Syaoran said as everyone did so, including Sakura. One by one Syaoran measured them, jotted down their measurements and handed each one a surfboard. Finally it was Sakura's turn.
"Uh.Sakura Kinomoto." Syaoran looked down at his list and called out her name. Sakura nervously stepped up the scale. Some of the kids giggled when she almost hit her head on the height bar (you know those things they put down on your head to measure how tall you are), even Syaoran smirked as he raised the bar noticeably higher.
Syaoran bent down to check her weight measurement while admiring her shapely legs. He jotted down her weight while Sakura got redder with every second.
Syaoran leaned closer to see her height measurement. They were so close Sakura could feel his breath on her neck, she shifted her feet uncomfortably. ' God, why did he have to be my instructor!' When Syaoran looked away from the scale, his eyes met hers and he lost himself in those emerald pools for a few moments. He was even close enough to kiss her if some kid didn't giggle and snap him back to reality.
"Ahem, yes." Syaoran mentally slapped himself as he jotted down her height. "Let me see if I have a surfboard for you in the back, we don't usually carry surfboards for beginners that's your size." Syaoran smirked again.
'ARGHH.I hate that guy and his smirk.' Sakura thought as she followed him to the back room. They were alone and silent while Syaoran picked out a board for her, when he handed it to her he gave her a once over. 'Hmm.nice choice of swimwear, shows off her figure.' He thought.
When they headed out Syaoran told the class " Okay, grab your boards and we'll go out now and I want everybody to sit on the sand in a circle."
"Yah!!!!!!!!!!!" All the kids raced out side and sat down on the sand.
"Okay, first we'll all say a little about ourselves like your name, what's your favorite stuff to do, why you chose to learn surfing, maybe your best talents, or your AGE." As Syaoran said this Sakura could swear he was looking her way and she got even redder in the face. " After that I'll just tell you what we're going to do in the course and if you have any questions I'll answer them, okay how about you start." Syaoran pointed to Sakura.
"Umm.my name is Sakura Kinomoto, I just moved here from New York, and I like swimming, soccer, tennis, and art. My brother made me sign up. My best talent is my martial arts skills, and my age is 17." Sakura said quickly in one breath, by now she was as red as a tomato in the face.
"Good job Sakura. Are you all right? You don't look too well, are you sure you got sunblock lotion on?" Syaoran smirked, looking at her face as she said, " I'm fine." 'So, she's seventeen, same as me, wonder what high school she's going to." He thought to himself.
They went around the circle until it was back to Syaoran, Sakura noticed most of the kids had said they were 8 or 9 years old.
"So I guess it's my turn." Syaoran said. "I'm Syaoran Li, I love surfing of course, and I've been teaching it for 2 summers all ready, and surfing is also my best talent. (What's with him and surfing?) And I'm 17 as well.
'Huh? He's 17 as well.' Thought Sakura, as she looked him over as he began to talk about the course. 'Oh well, why would I care, he's only my instructor.'
" For the first few lessons we will just go over the basic movements and later you'll be able to practice on your own. Right now I want everybody to go in the water and swim 5 laps to get exercised, start from the edge of the water to the bobbing float. Okay? Go!" Syaoran said as everyone ran toward the water. This was a low tide area and their part of the water was quite shallow for beginners, no one was allowed to surf here. It was used for lessons and as Syaoran looked down the beach he could see other instructors and their students. There were beach chairs set up on the sand for the instructors and Syaoran spotted Eriol lounging on one of them. Syaoran walked over all sat down on a chair.
"So how's your new class?" Eriol asked turning to face him.
"Not too bad I guess." Syaoran replied.
"Who was that girl in your class, is she one of those new trainees?"
"No, she's one of my students."
"Really, that's interesting, are you sure she doesn't know how to surf?"
"She says she just moved here."
"Oh no wonder."
"Well, why else would she be in my class?"
"You know, I thought she was one those girls who are after you, pretending to be a student so they can get close to you."
"Those girls just don't get it, when I say no, I mean no."
"Well, Syaoran, if you want to maintain your player status, you got to start dating more girls or you'll lose your charm from lack of practice."
"Yeah right, I can get any girl I want, and anytime I want."
"Oh really." Eriol started getting an evil glint in his eyes.
".wanna bet?"

Author's note: Argh.I hate to leave off there, but I couldn't think of anything more to write. So how did you like it? Please review, I'd love to hear your suggestions. I really have no clue about surfing, as you can probably see from my little measuring scale episode. I just hate taking inspiration from the winter thermometer, right now it's -25 degrees outside, but at least my snow fort isn't melting.
