~~~~~~~~time passes - next day~~~~~~~~

I heard someone banging on my door this morning. It was Meling. Oi. that girl can be a real pain sometimes. Then I realized we were late for school. I quickly got up and dressed in the uniform we received and bolted out the door to catch up with Meling.

"You're slow Syaoran," Meling said flatly.

"I'm sorry," was my only reply. I had another dream again. and boy do I not want to talk about it, especially to Meling.

"We're here," Meling said and stopped moving.

I ran right into her because I wasn't paying attention.

"Jeez Syaoran, what is it with you lately?" Meling said and turned around.

I ignored her. As we walked through he hall I could feel the stares people were giving me because I was slumped over and walking with my head bowed down. I just didn't want to think about what this day might bring. I just hoped it would be better than the previous day.

"I know that room is around here somewhere," Meling mumbled.

I sighed.

"Li-san! Li-kun!" a voice behind us called.

I knew it was that Tomoyo girl. I had a feeling she was odd. Meling stopped again and turned around. "Hi Daidouji-san!" she responded.

"Who is your teacher?" Tomoyo asked as she caught up with us.

I saw Meling look down at the paper she was holding. "Te-ra-da-sensei" Meling sounded out our teacher's name.

"Really?" Tomoyo cried, startling me. "Sakura-chan and I have him too."

'Oy,' I thought.

"Do you want me to take you to the room? Sakura-chan is already there; she had cheer practice this morning, so she's early," Tomoyo said.

"Sure, thanks," Meling replied. We set off. When we reached the room Tomoyo sat down next to the auburn-haired angel - wait! What can I be thinking? I hit my head hard. Meling gave me an odd look.

"What?" I asked her.

"What's your problem?" she asked me.

"I. uh. just remembered I forgot something," I said.

Meling sighed and walked up to the teacher. I followed her.

"Class, we have two new students joining our class today from Hong Kong. They are Li Syaoran and Li Meling. Please welcome them to the class." Terada-sensei said.

"Li-san, you may sit behind Daidouji-san and Li-kun, you may sit behind Kinomoto-san." The world became a bit hazy and I closed my eyes. 'Could this get any worse?' I walked slowly to my seat.

"Are you alright?" Sakura asked me when I sat down.

I looked at her startled. "Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. you seem a bit. homesick."

"You could say that," I said.

~~~~~~ they learn stuff~~~~~~~

*RING RING*

"Finally!" Sakura cried standing up and stretching. "I thought this class was never going to end."

"Sakura-chan, you're so cute when you stretch! Let me video tape you please?!" Tomoyo pleaded.

That question scared me. I looked at Sakura. She appeared to be extremely embarrassed. For some reason she turned to me. "Would you and Li-san like to eat lunch with us?" she asked.

Since I could break her eye contact I nodded as my face turned bright red.

"Great!" she exclaimed and clasped her hands together. "Let's go!"

I stood up and followed the three girls out. 'Why is this happening to me? I'm the destined Li clan leader. I shouldn't be feeling emotions! I've been trained to keep them locked down inside me, forever.' We got outside and Tomoyo and Sakura led us to a cherry tree in bloom.

"Did you bring anything to eat?" Tomoyo asked us.

Meling held up our lunches.

"Alright then," said Sakura. She sat down in the grass.

"Hi guys!" three more girls and one boy walked up. Sakura smiled at them.

'Damnit! Why does she have to be so cute? GAH stop it!' I thought.

"Hello Naoko-chan, Rika-chan, Chiharu-chan, Yamazaki-kun," Sakura was saying. "DO you guys want to eat lunch with us?"

"Sure," the redheaded girl said.

Tomoyo introduced them to Meling and me as everyone sat down. Soon, everyone except me was talking animatedly with each other. Even Meling.

I opened my lunch. Meling made me dim sum. My favorite food.

"OOH! What's that?" the girl named Rika asked me. I told her.

"Ahh, dim sum," Takashi said. "An ancient Chinese delicacy. It originated during the Ming dynasty when the Emperor called for a new food. The peasants --"

I stared at him, then at my food. I looked up again and saw that Sakura was also listening to him as intently as I was. Chiharu, the red-head, was poking at her food angrily. "Don't believe him," she said to us.

."Had to being him the special ingredients to find it. Since he wanted a completely new dish, most left the country to find these things."

"uh huh," Chiharu said.

"So," Rika turned to Naoko. "Read any good books lately?"

Naoko's eyes lit up and she smiled widely. "Yes!" she said. "Just last night I finished a really scary ghost story!"

"Hoeeeee," Sakura whimpered.

"Why don't you tell me later?" Rika asked, sounding amused.

"Sakura is afraid of ghosts," Tomoyo told Meling and me.

I only half-listened to her. I was still enthralled by Takashi's story.

"And so they combined all the ingredients into one big pot, and they got dim sum!" Takashi finished.

I looked down at my dim sum again. "Wow. I didn't know they went through all that to create the dish."

Meling simply shook her head at me.

"What?" I demanded.

I listened to the small talk as everyone finished lunch. 'Well, lunch hasn't gone badly," I thought. 'Maybe the day will get better.'

After lunch was P.E. Takashi showed me to the boy's locker room.

"Yeah, we're in luck today," one of the boys in the room was saying to his friend.

"The cheerleaders will be practicing today during class."

"Well, it doesn't matter if they aren't wearing their uniforms," his friend responded.

The first boy grinned. "They are. There going to a competition tomorrow so they want to practice in complete uniform."

I glanced at Takashi. "What's so great about the cheerleader's outfits?" I asked.

"Haven't you seen cheerleaders?" Takashi asked me.

I shook my head. "I was home schooled before I came here."

"They wear short skirts!" Takashi said. He smiled widely. "I like watching Chiharu."

When I heard "Short skirts" I got tangled up in my shirt. Mother had never permitted any of the females in out house to wear skirts that went above their knees. I could remember Tomoyo telling me that Sakura had cheer practice this morning.

"Are you alright?" Takashi asked me.

"Uh. yeah," I gulped. 'I wonder if she'll look any cuter -AH! What am I thinking?!?'

"Ready to go?" Takashi asked me. I untangled myself from the shirt and put it on. "Yeah," I answered. WE walked outside.

"Alright," Mr. Terada was saying. "Since the cheerleaders have requested to work today, everyone else is going to be together playing dodge ball."

"Aww." Naoko groaned, who was in a cheerleading outfit. "I can actually play dodge ball!"

"Li-kun, Li-san, do you know how to play?" Mr. Terada asked us.

Meling nodded. "We used to play it all the time!"

I was never very fond of dodge ball, plus I wanted to muck about in self pity some more, so I chose a place near the back of the field. I noticed that the cheerleaders were already starting to practice their cheers. I spotted Sakura immediately. 'Man she is - hey! Stop it! Stop thinking these things! They're not good for you Syaoran! You'll start to like her soon!' TO my dismay, a small voice inside my head said, "you already do, dumbass!" Then, everything went black.

When I woke up, I was in bed. It was nighttime.

"Jeez, you finally woke up," Meling said to me.

I groaned and sat up. "What happened?" I asked her. My head was pounding. I put my hand where all the pain was coming from; the right side of my head. I could swear that there was a bump.

"While you were ogling the cheerleaders, you got hit with the dodge ball." She grinned. Rika-chan scored a point on you. Your head bounced it into the next yard!" I flopped back on my bed then winced at the pain. "I was STARING at them? I could have sworn it was only a glance!"

Meling shook her head. "Syaoran, Syaoran, Syaoran." She said. "Could it be possible he had a crush on Sakura-chan?"

"Don't be stupid," I told her.

Meling grinned at me. "You know," she said, "There is a dance coming up soon. Maybe you should go with her."

"NO!" I shouted.

Meling jumped. "Fine! No need to be so touchy about it. Well, goodnight!" She left and turned off the light.

I fell asleep again.

Well, that's it for chapter 2
