Chapter One
Ring, ring! (Gomen! Couldn't think of another way to make the sound of a bell) Kids poured into the high school. The schoolyard emptied out until only the leaves played there. The wind blew gently, stirring the clouds. A sudden shout could be heard. The voice came from the streets, where a girl was skating on roller blades. She went so fast that only her auburn hair could be seen. Into the schoolyard she flew and only minutes later, she banged into a classroom. The teacher's mouth hung halfway open in speech and students started at the interruption. The girl turned a strange shade of pink and began to retreat from the doorway muttering apologies. Her actions made the teacher realize that his mouth was still open and he closed it quickly. Excusing himself from the class, he approached the girl. "Are you the new student from Japan?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"Ano.. Hai! I mean yes and I'm so sorry for.ummmm interrupting your class", she stuttered in chinese.
She had just moved to Hong Kong from Japan because her brother was going to college here and her father had found a job opening as a professor in Hong Kong. She missed her home and friends but she didn't want to let her family down. Toya had worked so hard to get into this college where he can play professional soccer and her dad had finally found a job teaching archeology instead of math, which he disliked. Already her first day in school and she's made a fool of herself. She was always late no matter how loud her alarm (Kero) was. Only her brother could wake her up and that was by using a picking her up and throwing her out the window. Of course her room was on the first floor or else he wouldn't do that, but there was a prickly bush under the window and it was not pleasant to wake up being poked by needles.
"That's okay. Your name is Kinimoto Sakura right?" The teacher's voice brought her back to reality. "I hope you will like it here in Hong Kong. There are many clubs you might like to try out for and most of the students are very friendly. Why don't I introduce you to the class now?"
"Xie xie! (thank you) I'm very glad to be here.", she replied slowly.
He entered the class first and told the students of her. Then she walked in, bowing.
"Hello! My name is Kinimoto Sakura and I'm from Japan."
The class looked at her, the boys in awe and the girls with jealousy. She had a slender figure, curving at just the right places. Her hair was rich brown, short, framing her face and bangs covered large and bright emerald eyes. The teacher pointed to a desk in front of a boy with dark brown hair who hand his head in his arms. She sat down and turned.
"Ni Hao. (hello) My name is Sakura. What's your name?" With his head still down he said in a bored tone, "It's none of your business." Sakura blinked startled. 'Did I say something wrong? Maybe he wants to be alone.'
"I'm sorry for bothering you", she said a little put down. 'I hope not everyone doesn't want to talk to me.'
*~*Sayoran's Point of View 'What?' He looked up just as the girl who spoke to him turned around. He could only see that she had auburn hair. And he sensed something. It was so faint, and it felt like an aura.
