Chapter 2

^In the Plane^

"You!!!" Sakura and Syaoran exclaimed in unison. Sakura sweat dropped. (^^,*) She couldn't believe she had actually bumped into the same person twice. "It must be my unlucky day."

"Economy and Business class cabins are this way, first class are reserved for the Lis, Sir." "I AM a Li, Miss." Syaoran snickered.

Sakura stood there, dumbfounded. "He isn't just some rich kid after all, but an extremely rich and arrogant idiot." Sakura concluded.

Rika shot Sakura a warning look. "I apologise for her behavior Mr Li, as it is her first day." "It's alright, I understand." Syaoran then gave Sakura one last look and followed Rika to his seat.

"I have a feeling that this may just be the worst flight…uh-oh" Sakura sighed. "Sakura-san! Do you know that you might have offended Mr Li? Please be careful with your actions and words! Your summer job is at stake." Rika said in warning tone. Sakura sighed a second time.

"Cabin crew please position at your take-off stations" "Phew… Saved by the announcement" Sakura was in cold sweat as she took her seat.

"I see that it's the THIRD time that we've met today, miss." Syaoran said with a hint of coldness in his voice. (a/N) Syaoran's sitting on a 2-seater with no one sitting beside him or anywhere around him for that matter as he's quite an isolator. Picture most window seats ppl.   Sakura's seat was coincidently just facing Syaoran's. Sakura looked up at the person addressing her. Their eyes met for a moment. Syaoran's hard expression softened. For a moment, Syaoran could see that in her eyes, he saw the frustration, anger and even resentment that were towards him. He felt remorseful.

"It's her first day…and I've spoilt it. Oh…what have I done? But I can't bring myself to say sorry to a GIRL." His thoughts were interrupted by Sakura's voice. "Gomen nasai, Mr Li for everything." Syaoran couldn't believe it. This girl, who actually hated him, had apologized, and even sounded sincere.

"There…I've said it." Sakura gave a mental sigh of relief. "Excuse me miss, actually I'm-" Syaoran was also trying to apologize when the Pilot's voice cut him short. "It is now safe to move around the cabin but please keep your seatbelts on. For further assistance, please approach any of our staff. We hope that you will have an enjoyable flight."

"Well then, Mr Li, if you would excuse me, I have to get back to work now." Sakura got up from her seat and left Li deep in thought.

"I wonder…she does not seem as bad as she seems. Maybe…just maybe…she's different from other girls. I really must have given her a bad impression of myself." Syaoran thought as he absent-mindedly flipped the channels to watch You've got mail (a/N) I love that movie. You know… the Meg Ryan one? You got it! "This movie does not seem that bad…"

The movie was actually about this guy and a lady who owned 2 bookstores. The guy's one was much much bigger though. They hated each other but unconsciously fell in love through e-mail.

~* 2 hours passed. The movie ended. Sakura had kept out of Syaoran's way and he had not seen her since their little chat *~

Syaoran, feeling a little stiff from sitting down for too long, decided to take a little walk around the cabin, and partly also to look for Sakura. "I know what to do. Since I don't think she's cut out to be an air-stewardess. She puts her emotions into work…."

"How many times must I tell you that I want Cold Milk and not Warm Milk. What sort of service is this? Give me your name miss and enjoy your last flight. Well, don't just stand there, bring me my milk!" Syaoran's 5th stepmother tortured poor Sakura a fifth time. "You keep on changing your orders you…you pig! That's why I can never get them right."  Sakura returned to the kitchen a sixth time and poured out a glass of milk.

Syaoran used the bathroom and washed his face. He felt ready to face Sakura. "I must remember not to be cold and arrogant…cold and arrogant towards her…I've spoilt her day enough."  

Syaoran opened the door with a little too much force and hit a girl carrying a tray with milk. The glass of milk spilt itself all over Sakura and a little went onto Syaoran. He didn't seem to mind about the milk stains. "I totally blew my chance of talking to her now…"

Meanwhile in Sakura's mind. "What have I done to deserve this? I never should have taken this stupid job anyway! This is the last and final flight I'll be working on!"  Tears streamed down Sakura's face. "Why did my first flight had to be like this? Those stupid Lis just had to spoil it!" Syaoran was getting really distressed and scared to see a crying girl that he just stood rooted to the spot.

After what seemed an hour but actually it was about a few minutes, Syaoran spoke in a squeaky voice. "I'm truly sorry miss, about ruining your day. Please stop crying. I will compensate you miss, believe me I will. I ..I- " 

"Why did you Lis  have to take this flight. First you and then that stupid woman. I  hate all of you, just leave me alone!" But Syaoran was worried for the girl who was dripping wet with milk and crying uncontrollably. "I don't know how to console her. What should I do? If it were Eriol, he would have cheered her up so easily."  He sat himself down next to Sakura.

Sakura was a little surprised by his action and was touched in spite of the resentment she felt towards him.

"I know how you feel, especially towards me. I'm really sorry for it. Would you like to start over?" Sakura did not respond. Syaoran went on anyway. "Hi! I'm Syaoran Li, anyway what's your name?" "Kinomoto Sakura" Sakura tried to stop herself but she blurted it out. "That's little wolf in japanese." Sakura smiled a small smile. "Cherry blossom? That's a really pretty name." Syaoran was memorized with Sakura's smile. "Anyway, you can call me Syaoran-kun, can I call you Sakura-chan?" Sakura nodded her head ever so slightly.

"No hard feelings?" Syaoran extended a hand out to Sakura. Sakura frowned a little but in a split second it was gone. "No hard feelings." Sakura said quietly and she shook Syaoran's hand with uncertainty.
