Sakura looked around at her new surroundings 'God I hate my life'. It
seemed that ever since her mother died, her life had just been going down
hill. She got out of her car and started to walk toward her new school.
The parking lot was empty because school would not be starting for another
45 minutes. She was told to go to the office and get her schedule.
When she got there she was sent right into the principle's office.
"Now then," the principle began "I have had time to look at your records and your past, and I want you to know that I understand and am here for you should you ever need anything or even just to talk."
'Yeah right you don't understand anything' Sakura thought, but you can't say that to your principle so instead she just smiled and said, "I am fine. I really don't need any favors or special treatment. I just need to go back to a normal life."
"Of coarse, then I will give you your schedule and then you may be off." Sakura picked up the piece of paper and started to walk away when she was called back. "I forgot to tell you that at our school we like our kids to be involved. Therefore we require every student to be in at least 2 after school activities. They can be clubs or sports it doesn't matter you just have to be in 2. Sign ups will be held today after school. Have a nice day, and I hope you like our school."
With that Sakura left. '2 activities? No wonder Dad wanted me to come to school here. He has been after me to get more involved for the past year and a half.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran was in class listening to the teacher going on and on about the quantum physics theory. (Sorry my friends and I were just laughing about this and so it was the first thing that came to mind.) 'I don't understand the point of being here. I already know this stuff.' He thought to himself.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a girl walked in. She had auburn hair and beautiful emerald eyes. All of the boys in the class started to drool over her while girls gave her dirty looks. She was dressed in a loose T-shirt that said Yellowcard on it and a pair of loose jeans. Her hair was tied in a loose bun with strands hanging down. It gave her a look that was in no way sexy and yet at she still managed to get almost all the guys to drool.
'They are all the same, even when I am wearing junky clothes they still stare at me. That is all any guy ever thinks about, sex.' Sakura rolled her eyes as she walked up to the teacher and gave her a note. Miss Nokisha (the teacher) nodded and said, "Class today we have a new student, her name is Sakura Kinomoto. Please be kind to her, and help her get aquatinted with her new school. Now then Sakura where can we seat you?" She said looking around the class. "Ok, well I see an empty chair right behind Mr. Li. Li can you please raise your hand?" Syaoran noticed all of the guys in the room glaring at him and he just rolled his eyes.
'What does it matter, she is just another girl. Why can't people just leave me alone.' Syaoran thought.
'Why is this kid looking at me like that. I understand all the other guys staring at me. I have gotten that look since I was 13 but he is just glaring at me.' Sakura thought as she walked to the end of the row. As she got there she couldn't take it anymore she stopped and asked the kid. "I am sorry I don't mean to cause trouble, but did I in some way offend you that would make you glare at me like that?"
A girl next to my new seat just laughed and said, "Don't take it personally, Syaoran here just thinks that the world is out to get him. I'm Tomoyo by the way."
Sakura looked at the girl and smiled 'she seems nice.' "I'm Sakura as you already know." She took her seat and the teacher started her lecture again.
When the bell rang Sakura went to her next class and found that Tomoyo was in that one too. After a few more classes the bell rang for lunch.
Tomoyo turned to Sakura and asked "Would you like to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" Sakura accepted and they headed outside to sit under a huge cherry blossom tree.
"Hey Guys how's it going?" Tomoyo asked to everyone already sitting there. "Everyone this is Sakura she is new. Everyone introduce yourselves."
"I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa"
"Naoko Yanagisawa nice to meet you."
"Just call me Jinsu, don't bother with the last name, no one can pernounce it anyways."
"Chiharu Mihara pleasure."
"Yamasaki Takashi. Did you know..." But he was interrupted when the girl named Chiharu smacked him on the back of the head.
"I'm Rika Sasaki" another girl said stopping their fight.
"Yukito Tsukiro" ( He is their age in this fic.)
"Meiling Rea and don't you forget it." This one had a smile on her face.
"Kevin Diniva. I'm from America." (OK couples are E&T, N&J, C&Y, R&Y, M&K in order of how I listed them)
"Ok now that everyone is introduced let's eat." Tomoyo stated. They all were eating when she suddenly stopped and looked around. "Hey Eriol where is Syaoran at?"
Eriol laughed and said, "He is talking to the principle about the new 2 activities deal. He is upset about the change and says he doesn't have enough time or talent to be in anything other than soccer." Eriol laughed. "To bad there isn't a glaring club."
Conversation continued and Sakura was starting to feel a little left out. She could tell that everyone there was a couple. She was just about to make up and excuse as to why she had to leave when someone came up and tapped her shoulder. She turned to see a guy with black hair and red eyes. He looked built and hot but something about him scared her.
"Hi my name is Zack, your Sakura right?"
She just nodded and looked up at him not trusting her voice at that second for some reason that she didn't know.
He didn't seem to mind her silence and just asked her. "Well I know we just met and all but I was wondering if you would be interested in going out with me sometime. I could show you the town and then we could head back to my place for a while." Although Sakura was sitting and Zack was standing, she still got the distinct vibe that he was looking at her chest. She also noticed that all the conversations her friends where having had stopped to pay attention to her.
"I'm sorry. But I am not currently interested in seeing anyone." Sakura was trying to be as nice as possible she didn't want any enemies at her new school.
"I see" Zack's face turned cold and almost evil as he glared at Sakura "Perhaps another time then." And he walked away thinking 'I'll get you Sakura. I want you, and I always get what I want.'
She turned back and started eating her lunch again with everyone still staring at her. "Ok what is it?"
"First, that was the most popular guy in school and you just turned him down. Second, he almost never gets rejected and doesn't take it very well. Third, I think you are in big trouble because he usually waits at least a week before he asks someone out." Chiharu explained.
"That is the most popular guy in school?" Sakura asked.
"Well one of them. Syaoran, is the other one. They are both captains of the soccer team and they hate each other." Meiling explained.
"How do you have a good team if your players hate each other?" Sakura was getting curious.
"They hate each other off the field. When they aren't playing soccer they have totally different goals. But when they are on the field they have the same goal of winning the game and so they put their differences aside. We've had problems in the past but they've been worked out and so now we are number one in the state." Eriol explained.
"Any ways what do you think you will sign up for as your activities Sakura?" Naoko asked.
"I don't know I was thinking about trying out for cheer leading, and something to do with singing."
"Really? Chiharu, Meiling, and I are in cheer leading." Rika stated excitedly.
"Well, she has the body of a cheerleader." Chiharu proclaimed while eyeing Sakura.
"And singing, well nobody here is into singing all that much. Our school doesn't have a choir, if you want to sing you will have to join the musical." Said Kevin.
Yamasaki looked at her and said, "You will have to tryout for both of those you know right?"
"Yeah but that shouldn't be that bad."
"So Sakura tell us about yourself." Tomoyo said
"Well there isn't much to tell I used to live in Tokyo but moved here with my dad and brother."
"What happened to your mom? That is if I may ask... You don't have to answer." Chiharu asked.
"No it's ok my mom died when I was only 3 I moved here because my dad needed to be transferred to a small town." Sakura stated with her eyes downcast. Everyone felt really bad and was about to tell her until they got interrupted.
"I can't believe this. The Principle says that there is nothing she can do about the activities and so now I have to do some random one." A very disgruntled looking guy said as he sat down next to Sakura. She recognized him as the boy that was glaring at her.
"It can't be that bad." Sakura said.
He noticed, for the first time, that she was sitting there and just glared at her. "You don't know anything about this school, or me and my schedule so don't act like you do." He shot out at her.
"Well if you ask me I think she is smarter than you give her credit for Syaoran, I mean she is obviously knows a thing or two if she will turn down a date with Zack for no reason whatsoever." Jinsu said coming to her defense.
Syaoran looked at her and actually smiled. Catching all of his friends off guard. "I think I have a new best friend." He laughed out. "Name is Syaoran Li, and any enemy of Zack is a friend of mine."
"That's all it takes hu? One minute you were rude and arrogant to me and now I am your best friend because I turned down a date?" Sakura was in total shock at this guy.
"Basically yes. That's all it takes. But don't get me wrong I'm cold and arrogant to my friends too."
Suddenly the bell rang and they all said good bye to go to their next class.
~*~*~*~*~*~ End of Day At Sign Ups~*~*~*~*~*~
"Tryouts for cheer leading are after school tomorrow. Be there or your out of luck." A snobby blond girl stated.
Sakura sighed as she walked away from the table. 'Why am I doing this again. Oh yeah, because I have to.'
"You're trying out for cheer leading?" A familiar yet sarcastic voice asked.
Sakura turned around only to find herself looking into a pair of deep amber eyes. "Yeah, is there something wrong with that?" She asked.
"I didn't see you as the cheerleader type." He stated with a smirk.
"And what makes you say that?" Sakura was starting to get irritated at this guy. He was judging her and he didn't even know her.
Syaoran could tell her was getting on her nerves and that just made him smirk even more. "Well for one you turned down a date with Zack. And two... You're wearing a Yellowcard shirt."
She looked at her shirt and blushed. "Oh... You've heard of them?"
"Not many people have, but yeah, I like the group. They have some really good songs."
"Wow I never would have guessed, the group was hardly known in Tokyo. I didn't expect anyone here to know them. I guess there really is a surprise around every corner. Any ways, I have to go sign up for my other activity, but I will see you later."
"Ya bye Sakura. Nice talking to you again."
"Same here. Bye."
Sakura walked up to a table that had a sign that said Musical on it.
"You have tryouts tomorrow after school." The Director told Sakura at sign ups.
"Am I allowed to be late. I have cheer leading tryouts then too?" Sakura asked
"Of coarse dear just come when you can. You aren't the only person that will be coming late. Just have a song prepared."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura got home and looked at the clock. It read 9:30. She went to the kitchen to got some food out of the fridge as she thought about everything that had happened that day. After sign ups she had gone to the hospital for a couple hours. She had visited both her brother and dad and did her homework there. She wouldn't even be home had they not made her leave.
'Well I can already tell that life here is going to be interesting' She thought to herself as she went to sleep.
I hope you liked it. I just had to get all of the boaring stuff out of the way things will pick up soon you'll see. Please R&R.
When she got there she was sent right into the principle's office.
"Now then," the principle began "I have had time to look at your records and your past, and I want you to know that I understand and am here for you should you ever need anything or even just to talk."
