Hey All! Thank you soo much to all of my reviewers. I honestly didn't
think I would get any. It made me really happy to come to my computer the
next day and find I had reviews. YEAH!
I forgot to say this before, but I don't own anything. I will have some songs in here and none of them are mine either. I hope this plot is unused if someone already already used it I am sorry please tell me and I will tell everyone to read your story too. Anyways on with the fic. Enjoy.
"Tomoyo, why is it that I get the distinct feeling that everyone hates me?" Sakura asked in homeroom. She was actually early.
Tomoyo looked at her new friend and smiled. "They don't hate you. To tell the truth they are just jealous of you. I would be jealous too if Eriol was drooling all over another girl." Tomoyo laughed at the thought. "People here just aren't used to change and new people. When everyone finds out how nice you are, they'll be ok."
"Ok good. I really don't want to make any enemies here." Sakura replied.
Tomoyo saw Syaoran walk in the room. She and Sakura watched as he went and started to talk to some of his soccer friends. 'He is really cute.' Sakura thought to herself.
Tomoyo noticed her friend's cheeks heat up as she stared at Syaoran. 'Those two would be really cute together. I bet she likes him too.' She giggled as a plan formed in her head. "So Sakura, I am sure you have noticed almost every guy has his eyes on you. Do you have your eyes on anyone here?" She thought Sakura would get embarrassed at the comment, but instead her features turned neutral.
"No. I don't date." She replied simply.
"Do you mind if I ask why?" Tomoyo asked cautiously.
Sakura sighed and thought a second. "I'll tell you. But not now. Not yet. I'm not ready to talk about it yet. But I promise that you'll be the first person I tell when I am ready."
Tomoyo seemed to accept this answer and changed the subject thinking, 'This wont work at all. I need to get you to date and soon because you and Syaoran are perfect for each other.'
~*~*~*~*~*~ IN THE GYM AT TRYOUTS ~*~*~*~*~*~
"My name is Mira and I will be the captain this year so if you want to be a cheerleader you need to pass MY test." The snobby blond girl stated in front of a group of about 20 girls. "If you were in last year come over here, your already in." That left only 7 girls trying out. "Now then that leaves only 2 spaces for new girls. I will tell you what to do and you do it. We will all judge you and you will know if you made it once everyone has gone. Understand? Good."
'Why am I trying out again?' Sakura thought.
After all the other girls had gone it was Sakura's turn. Mira got an evil smirk on her face and said, "Ok Kinomoto, front and center. Do 2 back flips into a round off, back walkover, and then finish with a cartwheel into the splits." Mira stated with a smirk on her face.
"That's not fair, that's harder than anything any other girl has had to do." Meiling protested.
Sakura just smiled and said "It's ok Meiling, maybe I am just not cut out to be a cheerleader here."
Everyone sat there with their mouths open as they watched Sakura walk towards the door of the gym. Mira had a smirk on her face and was very satisfied with a job well done. She looked at her list and was about to announce the new girls when she saw out of the corner of her eye Sakura start to do the routine. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw Sakura finish her cartwheel and go strait into the splits. All the other girls clapped and Mira knew she was trapped. The others would hate her if she didn't take Sakura now.
"Then again maybe I am" Was all Sakura said.
"Sakura, Leita, you two are on the team. Practices are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Games on Saturdays. You will get your uniform at practice tomorrow."
And with that all the girls left. Congratulating the two new girls.
As Sakura was walking to go pick up her bag she heard her name being called. Chiharu, Meiling, and Rika were all coming toward her.
"Congratulations! That was soooo cool." Rika said.
"I am so happy you put Mira in her place. She needed that." Chiharu was ecstatic.
"Thanks guys. I really appreciate you guys sticking up for me like that."
"Oh it was no problem. That's what friends are for." Meiling said.
"Yes well, it still felt good to know that I have people supporting me. I wish I could stay and talk but I have to go to tryout for the musical." Sakura said trying not to be rude.
"It's no problem but we just wanted to know what you are doing on Friday after practice?" Rika asked.
"I don't really know yet why?"
"Well everyone is coming over to my house and we are going to a club that night. Then everyone was going to sleep over my house." Chiharu stated proudly. "We want you to come too. How does it sound?"
"Well I think I can go. But I better find out if it's ok with my family. Can I answer you tomorrow?"
"Of coarse. But we don't want to make you late so see you tomorrow and good luck." Meiling said as they all turned to leave.
"Ok bye" Sakura replied as she turned to go to the other end of the building. 'So I'm a cheerleader now. WOW. I thought I had gotten over that stage in my life. What else is gunna change while I'm here?' She thought to herself.
Sakura entered the Theatre to find the only lights on in the room were on stage. They were in between auditions so she went to the director.
"Hi my name is Sakura. I'm just getting here now because I had cheer leading tryouts."
The director looked at her and smiled. "Oh yes I remember. Well I want you to fill these sheets out. When you are done, give them to Lin over there at the front of the stage and she will call your name when it is your turn."
"Ok thank you very much." Sakura said as she went to do as she was told. When she had filled out the sheets and was on her way to give them to Lin when she heard a familiar voice.
"So did you make it?"
She turned around only to smack strait into a VERY muscular chest. She looked up and blushed. "Sorry you scared me." She said as she looked into a pair of deep amber eyes.
"It's ok." Syaoran replied. "But did you make it?" He asked again.
"Make what?" She asked with a confused look on her face.
Syaoran smiled at her cuteness (is that a word?) "Cheer leading"
"Oh yeah I did. I'm a cheerleader now woo hoo." She replied very unenthusiastic, with a little laugh.
They both gave Lin their sheets and went to sit down and talk some more.
"So I didn't know you were into things like the musical. When did this start?" Sakura questioned.
Syaoran laughed and replied, "In all honesty, yesterday. I just had to get another activity and this was the only thing that came to mind other than soccer."
"Oh... So what song are you singing?" She asked.
"Well have you heard of a group called the Starting Line?" She nodded her head. "I'm singing Piano Song, by them." He said.
Sakura's face lit up. "I love that song. It's one of my favorites."
"What about you? What song are you singing?" He asked
"Well it's called Goodbye To You."
"Really, who wrote it?" He asked.
"Well... Umm... You see...."
"Sakura Kinomoto. You're up." Lin called out. Sakura was glad for the lucky break.
"Good Luck Sakura." Syaoran said as she walked up to the stage.
"Ok Sakura. You can just give your music to the accompanist." The director told her.
"Well I was wondering if I could accompany myself?" Sakura asked really nervous.
"Of coarse dear." The piano player started to get up when Sakura said, "You don't have to I have my guitar." Sakura went back stage and grabbed her guitar and a chair she had placed back there earlier in the day for safe keeping.
"My song is called Goodbye to You."
She started to play and everyone had stopped talking to listen to her. Even though she knew that everyone was watching her she wasn't nervous. She was on stage about to sing. 'This is where I belong. On stage looking at the lights'. She thought to herself.
'She can play guitar? Wow she really is different.' Syaoran thought.
Then he heard her voice sing out and he thought he would faint. 'She sings like an Angel.'
(This song explains exactly how she feels about someone but you will find out who later. Just know that she is singing this with all her heart.)
"Of all the things I believed in. I just want to get it over with. Tears from behind my eyes, But I do not cry, Countin' the days that pass me by.
I've been searchin' deep down in my soul. Words that I'm hearin' are startin' to get old. Feels like I'm startin' all over again. The last three years were just pretend.
And I said Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved. The one thing that I tried to hold onto.
I used to get lost in your eyes. And it seems that I can't live a day without you. Closen' my eyes, And you'll chase my thoughts away. To a place where I am blinded by the light. But it's not right.
Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew. You are the one I loved. The one thing that I tried to hold onto.
And it hurts to want everything And nothing at the same time. I want what's yours and I want what's mine. I want you but I'm not given it this time.
Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved. The one thing that I tried to hold onto. The one thing that I tried to hold onto.
Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved. The one thing that I tried to hold onto.
And when the stars fall I will lie awake You're my shooting star."
When Sakura stopped singing everyone applauded. They all started to talk about how good she was and how it would ruin their chance at a good part. Then the director spoke. "That was very good Sakura. You have a lovely voice. Could you tell me who wrote that song?"
Sakura was suddenly nervous "Well umm... I did." She finally spat out. ( Actually is was Michelle Branch, but it still tells her feelings perfectly so let's just pretend ok?)
Everyone's mouths dropped open. Not many people can write good music. "Ok thank you." The director said trying to hide her glee at having a girl that can sing and write music right under her nose. "Ahem. Lin who's next?"
"Syaoran Li." Lin called out.
Whispers had started again. Now the captain of the soccer team was trying out for the musical. What was this world coming to?
"My song is called Piano Song by The Starting Line." Syaoran said as he gave music to the accompanist.
He saw Sakura go and sit right in the front row, to watch him sing.
'Wow! I never thought a jock would actually be able to sing. I guess this really is a strange school.'
Sakura listened to Syaoran sing with a smile on her face. (I'm not going to type out his song because it doesn't pertain to his character sorry. But it is still a really good song so listen to it if you haven't already heard it.)
Sakura felt like she was in a trance watching Syaoran sing. He had an unbelievable voice. Although it was usually deep and rich he made an unbelieveable tenor. (There is nothing like a good tenor voice nothing. But the guy has to be good.)
When Syaoran ended. Everyone applauded, Sakura the loudest of all. When he got off stage they walked over to where they had put all of their stuff, picked it up and left together Sakura telling how awesome he had sounded. They were oblivious to the stares everyone was giving them, and the comments about being such a cute couple.
When they had gotten outside Syaoran was sick of her praising him. 'Why is she praising me? I sounded like shit compared to her.'
"Well..." He interrupted her mid-sentence. "YOU were unbelievable."
He watched her blush and say, "no not really."
He laughed at her modesty. "YES you were. I didn't know you knew how to play guitar... Which... don't you need to get?"
She smiled. "No I'm allowed to leave it backstage for as long as I want."
"You know... You are just a surprise at every turn. You're a cheerleader. You listen to bands like Yellowcard and The Starting Line. You play guitar. You sing like an angel. AND you can write music. What else are you hiding from the world?"
"You make me sound like something the no one's never seen before." Sakura was blushing madly.
"Sakura trust me when I say, I don't think anyone here has ever met anyone like you. And it's a good thing."
"Thanks, Well I better go this is my house and I need to get homework done. But I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Syaoran."
"Bye Sakura."
'Wow she is amazing. Why am I still thinking about her?' Syaoran walked home thinking to himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura did her homework and ate and was out the door by 6:00. She was on her way to see her dad and brother. 'He sounded sooo good today.' She thought to herself. 'Why am I thinking about him? He is just another guy. But why does he feel so different. I can't like him. I can't like him. He will just hurt me. But God I feel lonely. Ok think about something else. I am going to see if I can go to the club on Friday. I wonder if Syaoran will be there? Oh God I need help someone make me stop thinking about him.'
Sakura had a restless sleep that night thinking about a certain amber eyed boy.
Little did she know Syaoran wasn't sleeping well either. He was too busy thinking about her.
Hey what do you think? I hope you liked it. What happened to her family that put them in the hospital will be told next chapter, so sit tight. Also her reasoning behind not wanting to go out with anyone will be revealed next chapter. PLEASE R&R.
I forgot to say this before, but I don't own anything. I will have some songs in here and none of them are mine either. I hope this plot is unused if someone already already used it I am sorry please tell me and I will tell everyone to read your story too. Anyways on with the fic. Enjoy.
