The New Student
By: Danelle Yuy-Winner
Konichiwa minna-san. What's up? This is another S&S fic by moi. I decided to write a fic I haven't seen hardly ever, if at all. Here's the plot, Syaoran Li is a new student at Tomoeda Junior High. Sakura meets Syaoran, but Sakura already has a crush on someone. His name is Hideki. Hideki is the kindest and sweetest guy ever. I hardly ever see CCS fics like that. The antagonist is either always evil or wants `something' from Sakura. The guy I made up is the most kindest, sweetest, and wonderful guy I could think of. Syaoran will have a tough time to win Sakura's heart against a guy like Hideki. Also, I don't and never would own CCS. I only own the character, Hideki because I made him up. I hope you like it. I'm almost done with my other S&S fic, Everlasting Love, part 2. Please read and review. DOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What is the square root of 49?" the teacher asked the class in a monotone. A violet haired girl raises her hand. "Miss Tomoyo Daidouji, can you tell us?" the teacher asked.
"Hai. The square root of 49 is 7." Tomoyo replies.
"Correct. I am glad to know someone pays attention in my class," the teacher replies looking disgustedly to the desk left of Tomoyo's in which an auburn-haired girl was fast asleep on her desk.
"MISS KINOMOTO! What are you doing?" the teacher yells, startling Sakura. Sakura awakes with a start scattering everything on her desk causing a big crash.
"Huh? Nani?" Sakura said looking dazed. Realizing she had fallen asleep in class again, she blushed. The teacher looked at Sakura with a stern and firm look. The class chuckles, but appreciates that the interruption stalls them from hearing the monotone of the teacher a little longer.
"How many times have I asked that you not fall asleep in my class, Miss Kinomoto?" the teacher asked looking stern.
"Gomenasai, Sensei Kawamoto. I haven't been able to sleep much the past few days." Sakura said blushing.
"Let's hope it doesn't again, ne?" Sensei Kawamoto replies getting back to the math lesson. The class groans at having to listen to the monotone of the teacher again.
"Tomoyo, that was so embarrassing!" Sakura whispered to her best friend, Tomoyo and Tomoyo giggles. There is a knock on the door and in walks the principal and a guy with messy chestnut-brown hair. The guy looked about Tomoyo and Sakura's age. The principal walks over to Sensei Kawamoto and whispers in her ear. She looks over at the new boy and walks to the front of the class. The class erupts in tons of whispers about the new guy.
"Class, class. May I have your attention onegai shimasu?" Sensei Kawamoto said, trying to quiet down the class.
"Hai, Sensei Kawamoto," the whole class replies.
"This is a new transfer student from China," Sensei Kawamoto explains and motions for the boy to come up to the front of class. The boy comes up to the front of the class and looks stern. "What is your name?" Sensei Kawamoto asks with a smile.
"My name is Syaoran Li." He replies looking stern as ever. Sensei Kawamoto writes his name on the chalkboard for everyone to see.
"Syaoran, is there anything that you would like to tell us about yourself?" Sensei Kawamoto asked.
"My family and I have just moved here from China. I have four older sisters and two of them go to Tomoeda High and the other two go to Tomoeda University." he answers.
"I'm glad you have joined our class. We are very happy to have you. Hmmm.....where should I place you to sit?" Sensei Kawamoto says aloud talking to herself. She looks to see where there is an empty desk and finds one behind to Sakura Kinomoto. "You can sit behind Miss Kinomoto in the back row. You have to make sure that her snoring doesn't effect your learning though." Sensei Kawamoto says with a smirk. The class giggles and Sakura blushes again. Ignoring the chuckles, Syaoran goes to his seat.
"I hope that everyone will treat Mr. Li with much respect and courtesy. Mr. Yamazaki, would you kindly show Mr. Li around school, as since you are the eighth grade class president," the principal asked.
"Hai." Yamazaki answers.
"Arigato. I shall see all of you later at the Welcome to the Second Semester assembly." the principal says with a smile and closes the door with a click.
"Class, let's get back to finding the square roots......" Sensei Kawamoto says getting back into her monotone. 40 minutes later, and after many tried attempts of Sakura trying to make herself not fall asleep, the bell rang for lunch. Tomoyo and Sakura grabbed their stuff and went out to their lockers.
"So, did you enjoy math?" Tomoyo asked joking.
"Are you kidding? I think that Sensei Kawamoto despises me. She always scolds me and embarrasses me in front of the class." Sakura groaned.
"Why don't you try not sleeping in her class for once. When you fall asleep in Sensei Kawamoto's class, it doesn't help her liking of you very much." Tomoyo explains. Sakura sighs and tries opening her locker, but her locker is stuck and won't open. "Kuso, why does this always happen to me?" she sighs.
"Let me try, Sakura-chan. You don't have to get so upset." Tomoyo consoles.
"Fine, you can try." Sakura says defeated. Sakura moves and leans against the locker next to hers, so Tomoyo can try to open her locker. Tomoyo easily opens Sakura's locker and Sakura groans. She stuffs a bunch of stuff in her locker and slams it shut. "Boy, do I hate lockers!" Sakura exclaims leaning against the locker again.
"And also Sensei Kawamoto!" Tomoyo giggles.
"I don't hate her, I just like how she always embarrasses and scolds me in front of class." Sakura explained.
"Maybe you should try not to fall asleep in my class, Miss Kinomoto." A familiar voice said and Sakura looked up. It was Sensei Kawamoto and Sakura blushes so hard that her face is as red as a ripe tomato. After her comment, Sensei Kawamoto left to the teacher's lounge, even though Sensei Kawamoto left, Sakura was still blushing.
"That was so hilarious, Sakura-chan. I should've had my camera on me so I could've taped your face just now." Tomoyo squealed. Sakura didn't get annoyed as she usually is with Tomoyo going on how she wants to tape every second of Sakura's life because Sakura was so embarrassed.
"Excuse me." another familiar voice said. Sakura looked up yet again and found Syaoran Li trying to get to his locker which was right next to Sakura's. She blushed again because she was leaning against Syaoran's locker.
"Gomen. Kon...I mean ni hao {Hello} and welcome to Japan." Sakura said moving over closer to her locker.
"Xie xie {Thank you} for moving. I didn't know that the school teaches Chinese." Syaoran said emotionless.
"The school doesn't. The only language the school offers is English, which I am currently taking." Sakura said with a smile.
"How do you know Chinese then?" Syaoran asked.
"My otosan has some close friends that live in China. We visit them every summer and I pick up little Chinese phrases on my trip. My otosan's friends try to teach me and my oniichan how to speak Chinese, but I can only remember little phrases." Sakura answered.
"What part of China does your father's friends live?" Syaoran asked curiously.
"Well, he actually has 4 friends total that live in China, although they all live in different places. 2 of his friends married and had a daughter about my age, and they live in Hong Kong. The other couple lives in China's capital, Beijing." Sakura said politely.
"Interesting. I used to live in Hong Kong. Currently our grandparents are taking care of my family's house until we come back in the summer and for Christmas vacation." Syaoran said.
"Sugoi." Sakura exclaimed.
"Zai jian {Good bye} Sakura." Syaoran said and walked away.
"Zai jian {Good bye} Syaoran." Sakura said. She turned to Tomoyo who had eyes the size of bowling balls and were twinkling like crazy.
"That was such a KAWAII moment, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Nani? What are you talking about?" Sakura asked looking confused.
"You and the new kid make such a KAWAII couple, Sakura-chan!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed again. "Too bad I forgot my video camera because that would've been a Kodak moment right there!" Tomoyo exclaims yet again and Sakura sweat-drops.
"Tomoyo, before you completely lose your head let's go to your locker." Sakura suggested.
"Alright." Tomoyo says and walks with Sakura to her own locker. Tomoyo opens her locker with ease and neatly puts some books away. Sakura leans against the locker next to Tomoyo's and sighs. A guy with spiked sandy-blonde hair walks down the hall and notices Sakura and Tomoyo in the hall. He waves and smiles happily at the sight of Sakura.
"Hey Sakura-chan." Hideki called.
"Ohayo Hideki-kun." Sakura calls.
"Have you tried out for the girl's soccer team yet?" Hideki asks.
"Nope, try-outs don't start for another week or so. Have you tried out for the boy's soccer team?" Sakura asks.
"Hai. Try-outs are still going on for soccer though. Since Coach Kamiya started try-outs early, we have to wait for the cross-country and tennis players to come to try-outs. We won't know who makes it for a couple of weeks." Hideki says.
"I know you'll make team captain Hideki-kun. You're one of the best guys out there." Sakura says with a smile.
"Arigato. You are one of the best girls I have seen on the soccer field." Hideki said blushing a little.
"Arigato." Sakura says and blushes.
"Why don't you come out and watch me, then we could go get some ice-cream or something after." Hideki suggests.
"Sure, what a sugoi idea! I'd love to." Sakura exclaims happily.
"Well, I'd better go. I heard the new student from Hong Kong wants to try out for the soccer team. I have to check out my competition, so ja ne." Hideki calls hurrying down the hall.
"Ja ne, Hideki-kun. See ya this afternoon!" Sakura calls.
"Aren't you happy today?" Tomoyo says.
"Yah, I so am, but do you think that Hideki knows I like him?" Sakura asks seriously.
"Nah, but you should tell him though because he might like you." Tomoyo suggests.
"Whatever Tomoyo. I can't believe I'm going with Hideki after school to get some ice cream!" Sakura yells.
"Lets go meet up with Naoko, Chiharu, and Rika, ne?" Tomoyo asks.
"Hai, I can't wait to tell them about Hideki-kun." Sakura says. Tomoyo and Sakura walk towards a large patch of grass underneath Sakura blossoms trees. Sitting on the grass are Sakura's friends; Naoko Yanagisawa, Chiharu Miharu, Rika Sasaki, and Chiharu's boyfriend, Takashi Yamazaki, who everyone calls Yamazaki. Also, sitting there is Syaoran Li, which surprised Sakura.
"Konichiwa everyone." Tomoyo and Sakura say.
"Hey Sakura and Tomoyo," everyone says.
"What took you guys so long? Everyone is almost done with their food." Naoko asked.
"We stopped by our lockers, which took a little longer than expected." Tomoyo explained.
"Just dropping off stuff at your locker couldn't have taken so long." Rika commented.
"With Sakura-chan, it does." Tomoyo joked and everyone laughed.
"Did your locker get stuck again, Sakura?" Chiharu asked laughing.
"As a matter of fact, it did!" Sakura said blushing.
"That's not the only reason why it took us so long.....we met up with Hideki-kun. Hideki-kun asked Sakura to come to the soccer try-outs and after try-outs, the two of them are going for ice cream." Tomoyo explained and Sakura blushed.
"Wow, lucky you Sakura." Rika smiled.
"What about the girl's soccer try-outs, aren't they going on at the same time?" Naoko asked.
"Nope, we don't have try-outs until next week." Sakura said with a smile.
"Who's Hideki-kun?" Syaoran asked.
"He's Sakura's HUGE crush. She's liked him for two years. Last year, both of them were captains of the soccer teams, Sakura for the girl's team and Hideki for the boy's team. Hideki and Sakura flirt with each other all the time! Sooner or later those two will be going out." Chiharu explained to Syaoran.
"CHIHARU!" Sakura screeched.
"Doushite, did you want to know who Hideki-kun was?" Chiharu asked purposely ignoring Sakura.
"Oh. His name sounded familiar at first, but now I remember....I met him earlier because I'm trying out for the soccer team too." Syaoran said.
"I didn't know you liked soccer, Syaoran." Yamazaki said.
"I do, I was captain on my school team back in Hong Kong. Soccer helps me deal with my stress and is good exercise." Syaoran said and a person walked up to the group of friends. It was none other than Hideki-kun.
"Konichiwa everyone. I was looking for Syaoran Li, and I was wondering if he was over here because I was told Yamazaki was showing him around school." Hideki said with a gorgeous smile.
"Yah, I'm here." Syaoran said starting to get up.
"Konichiwa Syaoran Li. I'm glad to meet you. I'm Hideki Matsuro and I was the previous captain of the Tomoeda Junior High soccer team." Hideki said with another smile while shaking Syaoran's hand.
"Is it true after soccer try-outs, you and Sakura-chan are going out on a date?" Naoko asked Hideki.
"Hai, it's true. I can't wait until this afternoon Sakura-chan. You have to promise to let me watch your try-outs for soccer though. Promise?" Hideki asks.
"Hai, I promise. I can't wait for the afternoon to hurry by faster either." Sakura said happily.
"Well I gotta go and meet up with my friends. Ja ne Sakura." Hideki waves with a smile.
"Ja Hideki!" Sakura calls.
"Sakura-chan, are ya excited about your first date with Hideki-kun?" Chiharu asks.
"Hai. I can't wait. Yamazaki-kun are ya still going to try out for soccer or are you going to try out for basketball?" Sakura asks.
"Nope I'm trying out for soccer. I was talking with someone at the Computer Club and he said that it would be better if I tried out for soccer, since I'm not that tall. I'm average height for a guy, but it would make it easier if I were taller. Since I'm a little short, I'll be more agile and forceful on the soccer field rather than on the basketball court."
"That sucks. I know how much you wanted to be on the all-star basketball team. Gomen Yamazaki." Sakura said.
"That's alright. If Hideki is captain of the soccer team, we'll surely get to the championships. Look at last year, he got us to number 1 in the district." Yamazaki explained.
"Yah, isn't Hideki great??" Sakura asked dreamily.
"Enough talk about Hideki-kun! Geez, Sakura-chan you really like Hideki." Naoko exclaims.
"Yah, someone is a little obsessive. It's either Hideki this or Hideki that, I swear, if I hear one more word about Hideki, I'll scream!" Chiharu also exclaims and the bell for class rings.
"Ja everybody." Everyone called to one another. Tomoyo grabs Sakura and the both of them hurry to PE. Both girls change really fast into their PE uniforms and hurry out towards the soccer field.
"Ohayo Tomoyo and Sakura." A blue-haired boy calls to the girls.
"Konichiwa Brandon, where's Hideki?" Sakura asks looking around. (A/N: Brandon is the identical twin of Hideki except Brandon has blue hair and Hideki has sandy-blonde.)
"He's still changing for PE. Hey Tomoyo I heard that you won some photo contest, is that true?" Brandon asks.
"Yah, I did. I got first place at a local photo contest. The contest was animals in their natural environment. I took a bunch of pictures of --"
"HIDEKI-KUN!!!" Sakura screams and runs over to Hideki and hugs him. Hideki blushes like crazy. You hear a `kawaii' and Hideki blushes redder.
"Konichiwa Sakura-chan. You don't need to get so excited." Hideki told her. "Hey Syaoran, I didn't know you had PE this period. We're playing soccer for this unit. It should be fun." Hideki called waving at Syaoran.
"Ni hao Syaoran!" Sakura called.
"Ni hao Sakura and Konichiwa Hideki. I'm excited about the soccer unit. I can't wait to kick some butt." Syaoran called and started walking towards Sakura and Hideki.
"I can't wait to see Syaoran show off his skills." Hideki commented to Sakura.
"Syaoran said that he was team captain of his school soccer team last year in Hong Kong." Sakura said.
"Really?" Hideki asked. "Hey Syaoran, were you team captain of your school's team back in Hong Kong?" Hideki asked.
"Hai, that's right. Who told you?" Syaoran asked. Hideki points to Sakura. The PE teacher blows his whistle.
"Class get in roll call (A/N: At my school, for PE we get in roll call. Roll call is just rows of the students in Alphabetical order by last name.) onegai shimasu." Sensei Yoshioka called. All the students scurry in alphabetical order. Sakura sits in front of Hideki because there aren't anyone with the last name that starts with `L' (A/N: Until now.....). "Are you a new student?" Sensei Yoshioka asked looking at Syaoran Li.
"Hai, my name is Syaoran Li." Li answered.
"Okay, you can sit in front of Hideki Matsuro and behind Sakura Kinomoto. I need you to fill out this card also." Sensei Yoshioka says pointing to the spot and handing Syaoran the card.
"Hai, I'll hurry and fill it out. Ano.....do you have a pencil or a pen? I left mine in my PE locker." Syaoran asked.
"Sure, here." Sensei Yoshioka hands him a pen and Syaoran goes and sits down. "Mr. Syaoran, I heard you're trying out for the boy's soccer team...is that true?" Sensei Yoshioka asks.
"Hai, I am. I used to be the captain of my school's soccer team back in Hong Kong." Syaoran answered.
"We're doing the soccer unit so that might help you condition a little before soccer try-outs this afternoon." Sensei Yoshioka answered. "Class, I'd like you to get a team of eleven people. The team can be co-ed. Hurry, Hurry." Hideki, Brandon, Sakura, Syaoran, Yamazaki, Chiharu, Rika, Tomoyo, Mariko, and Heero grouped together as one team. (A/N: I made up the Mariko and Heero, so the team would have eleven people. They are just extras in the story; they don't have a major part.)
"Hey both the soccer captains from last year can't be on the same team, they'd be undefeatable!" a random student called out.
"Yah, that wouldn't be fair." Another student called out.
"We want Hideki Matsuro!"
"We want Sakura Kinomoto!"
"Calm down class. Miss Kinomoto and Mr. Matsuro, can you onegai shimasu split up into separate teams. It would be an unfair disadvantage for the rest of the PE class, if the two of you were on the same team together." Coach Yoshioka asked.
"Hai, I shall." Hideki says with a smile.
"Arigato gozaimasu Mr. Matsuro. Ms. Kinomoto you may stay with the team are currently with. Ano, will Takeru join Sakura's team, onegai shimasu." Coach Yoshioka asks relieved.
"Hai." Takeru calls running up to join Sakura's team.
*~*~*~*~*
"Sakura-chan, did you enjoy PE today?" Tomoyo asks.
"Hai, we beat all the soccer teams. I'm surprised we beat Hideki-kun's team though. He had a good defense, but although his offense sucked. Maybe I'm not really surprised, but Hideki usually wins especially when it comes to soccer." Sakura says unsure.
"Did you see how good Syaoran was? He was almost as skilled as Hideki if not more." Tomoyo says.
"Yah, he is pretty fast and he can handle the soccer ball well. Hideki will have some competition at the try-outs today." Sakura replies with a smile.
"This should be an interesting try-out maybe I should tape it." Tomoyo sighs with stars in her eyes and Sakura sweat-drops.
"I thought you weren't coming to the soccer try-outs....?" Sakura says confused.
"I wasn't because I was going to watch Brandon's basketball try-outs, but for some reason the try-outs got cancelled. Brandon and I decided to come and watch his brother's soccer try-out instead." Tomoyo explained.
"Oh sugoi. Now I have two other people to cheer for Hideki. I don't want to be the only cheering for Hideki-kun." Sakura says excited.
"That means we need to bring the duct tape, ne?" Tomoyo asks.
"For who? " Sakura asks, obviously not getting the hint.
"Never mind, you simple child." Tomoyo says with a chuckle.
"Okay, whatever you say Tomoyo." Sakura answers.
"Hey, what did you think of the new kid, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asks.
"As I said before he's really fast and great at handling the soccer ball." Sakura answers impatient. "Why do you keep asking me about him anyway?" Sakura asks looking at Tomoyo.
"Just wondering." Tomoyo answers with a smile on the tip of her mouth.
"I don't think you were `just wondering'....what were you implying Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asks starting to cross her arms.
"Nothing....oh look Sakura-chan. It's the new kid, Syaoran Li!" Tomoyo says.
"Why should I care?" Sakura asks.
"Ano, Hideki is with him!" Tomoyo answers.
"OH REALLY?" Sakura asks excitedly.
"Hai." Tomoyo nods.
"Hideki-kun, come sit over here!" Sakura says waving crazily at Hideki. He walks towards Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Konichiwa Sakura-chan! Is it alright if Syaoran sits with us?" Hideki asks.
"Sure, that's sugoi." Sakura smiles. Hideki sits in an empty seat next to Sakura and Syaoran sits behind Sakura.
"Nervous about the tryouts today Hideki?" Sakura asks.
"Nope. Why?" Hideki asks.
"Because Syaoran is pretty good at soccer and he might give you competition, more than what you're used to." Sakura smiles.
"Are you suggesting that Syaoran is better than me?" Hideki asks with a smirk on his face.
"Maybe so, maybe not." Sakura smirks back. Tomoyo takes out her camera and tapes the scene between Sakura and Hideki.
"Who brought our school's soccer team to the 1^st in the district?" Hideki asks haughtily.
"I dunno, I think it was Yamazaki-kun." Sakura says.
"Yah right, was he the soccer captain?" Hideki asks.
"He could've been since he is so skilled at soccer." Sakura says teasingly.
"Just kiss each other and announce to everyone you are going out already....geez" Syaoran mutters. Sakura and Hideki hear Syaoran's comment and both of them blush. Tomoyo is still taping this "kawaii" moment.
"Nani? What are you talking about Syaoran? We don't like each other." Sakura and Hideki say at the same time, still blushing.
"Sure whatever." Syaoran says sarcastically.
"Sakura, Hideki are you done flirting with each yet?" the study hall sensei asks with a smirk.
"Gomen...."Sakura and Hideki bow to the sensei.
"Onegai shimasu, sit down so I can take roll, both of you. If I catch the two of you flirting again, I'll send you to the principal's office." the study hall sensei says.

"Alright." Tomoyo says and walks with Sakura to her own locker. Tomoyo opens her locker with ease and neatly puts some books away. Sakura leans against the locker next to Tomoyo's and sighs. A guy with spiked sandy-blonde hair walks down the hall and notices Sakura and Tomoyo in the hall. He waves and smiles happily at the sight of Sakura.
"Hey Sakura-chan." Hideki called.
"Ohayo Hideki-kun." Sakura calls.
"Have you tried out for the girl's soccer team yet?" Hideki asks.
"Nope, try-outs don't start for another week or so. Have you tried out for the boy's soccer team?" Sakura asks.
"Hai. Try-outs are still going on for soccer though. Since Coach Kamiya started try-outs early, we have to wait for the cross-country and tennis players to come to try-outs. We won't know who makes it for a couple of weeks." Hideki says.
"I know you'll make team captain Hideki-kun. You're one of the best guys out there." Sakura says with a smile.
"Arigato. You are one of the best girls I have seen on the soccer field." Hideki said blushing a little.
"Arigato." Sakura says and blushes.
"Why don't you come out and watch me, then we could go get some ice-cream or something after." Hideki suggests.
"Sure, what a sugoi idea! I'd love to." Sakura exclaims happily.
"Well, I'd better go. I heard the new student from Hong Kong wants to try out for the soccer team. I have to check out my competition, so ja ne." Hideki calls hurrying down the hall.
"Ja ne, Hideki-kun. See ya this afternoon!" Sakura calls.
"Aren't you happy today?" Tomoyo says.
"Yah, I so am, but do you think that Hideki knows I like him?" Sakura asks seriously.
"Nah, but you should tell him though because he might like you." Tomoyo suggests.
"Whatever Tomoyo. I can't believe I'm going with Hideki after school to get some ice cream!" Sakura yells.
"Lets go meet up with Naoko, Chiharu, and Rika, ne?" Tomoyo asks.
"Hai, I can't wait to tell them about Hideki-kun." Sakura says. Tomoyo and Sakura walk towards a large patch of grass underneath Sakura blossoms trees. Sitting on the grass are Sakura's friends; Naoko Yanagisawa, Chiharu Miharu, Rika Sasaki, and Chiharu's boyfriend, Takashi Yamazaki, who everyone calls Yamazaki. Also, sitting there is Syaoran Li, which surprised Sakura.
"Konichiwa everyone." Tomoyo and Sakura say.
"Hey Sakura and Tomoyo," everyone says.
"What took you guys so long? Everyone is almost done with their food." Naoko asked.
"We stopped by our lockers, which took a little longer than expected." Tomoyo explained.
"Just dropping off stuff at your locker couldn't have taken so long." Rika commented.
"With Sakura-chan, it does." Tomoyo joked and everyone laughed.
"Did your locker get stuck again, Sakura?" Chiharu asked laughing.
"As a matter of fact, it did!" Sakura said blushing.
"That's not the only reason why it took us so long.....we met up with Hideki-kun. Hideki-kun asked Sakura to come to the soccer try-outs and after try-outs, the two of them are going for ice cream." Tomoyo explained and Sakura blushed.
"Wow, lucky you Sakura." Rika smiled.
"What about the girl's soccer try-outs, aren't they going on at the same time?" Naoko asked.
"Nope, we don't have try-outs until next week." Sakura said with a smile.
"Who's Hideki-kun?" Syaoran asked.
"He's Sakura's HUGE crush. She's liked him for two years. Last year, both of them were captains of the soccer teams, Sakura for the girl's team and Hideki for the boy's team. Hideki and Sakura flirt with each other all the time! Sooner or later those two will be going out." Chiharu explained to Syaoran.
"CHIHARU!" Sakura screeched.
"Doushite, did you want to know who Hideki-kun was?" Chiharu asked purposely ignoring Sakura.
"Oh. His name sounded familiar at first, but now I remember....I met him earlier because I'm trying out for the soccer team too." Syaoran said.
"I didn't know you liked soccer, Syaoran." Yamazaki said.
"I do, I was captain on my school team back in Hong Kong. Soccer helps me deal with my stress and is good exercise." Syaoran said and a person walked up to the group of friends. It was none other than Hideki-kun.
"Konichiwa everyone. I was looking for Syaoran Li, and I was wondering if he was over here because I was told Yamazaki was showing him around school." Hideki said with a gorgeous smile.
"Yah, I'm here." Syaoran said starting to get up.
"Konichiwa Syaoran Li. I'm glad to meet you. I'm Hideki Matsuro and I was the previous captain of the Tomoeda Junior High soccer team." Hideki said with another smile while shaking Syaoran's hand.
"Is it true after soccer try-outs, you and Sakura-chan are going out on a date?" Naoko asked Hideki.
"Hai, it's true. I can't wait until this afternoon Sakura-chan. You have to promise to let me watch your try-outs for soccer though. Promise?" Hideki asks.
"Hai, I promise. I can't wait for the afternoon to hurry by faster either." Sakura said happily.
"Well I gotta go and meet up with my friends. Ja ne Sakura." Hideki waves with a smile.
"Ja Hideki!" Sakura calls.
"Sakura-chan, are ya excited about your first date with Hideki-kun?" Chiharu asks.
"Hai. I can't wait. Yamazaki-kun are ya still going to try out for soccer or are you going to try out for basketball?" Sakura asks.
"Nope I'm trying out for soccer. I was talking with someone at the Computer Club and he said that it would be better if I tried out for soccer, since I'm not that tall. I'm average height for a guy, but it would make it easier if I were taller. Since I'm a little short, I'll be more agile and forceful on the soccer field rather than on the basketball court."
"That sucks. I know how much you wanted to be on the all-star basketball team. Gomen Yamazaki." Sakura said.
"That's alright. If Hideki is captain of the soccer team, we'll surely get to the championships. Look at last year, he got us to number 1 in the district." Yamazaki explained.
"Yah, isn't Hideki great??" Sakura asked dreamily.
"Enough talk about Hideki-kun! Geez, Sakura-chan you really like Hideki." Naoko exclaims.
"Yah, someone is a little obsessive. It's either Hideki this or Hideki that, I swear, if I hear one more word about Hideki, I'll scream!" Chiharu also exclaims and the bell for class rings.
"Ja everybody." Everyone called to one another. Tomoyo grabs Sakura and the both of them hurry to PE. Both girls change really fast into their PE uniforms and hurry out towards the soccer field.
"Ohayo Tomoyo and Sakura." A blue-haired boy calls to the girls.
"Konichiwa Brandon, where's Hideki?" Sakura asks looking around. (A/N: Brandon is the identical twin of Hideki except Brandon has blue hair and Hideki has sandy-blonde.)
"He's still changing for PE. Hey Tomoyo I heard that you won some photo contest, is that true?" Brandon asks.
"Yah, I did. I got first place at a local photo contest. The contest was animals in their natural environment. I took a bunch of pictures of --"
"HIDEKI-KUN!!!" Sakura screams and runs over to Hideki and hugs him. Hideki blushes like crazy. You hear a `kawaii' and Hideki blushes redder.
"Konichiwa Sakura-chan. You don't need to get so excited." Hideki told her. "Hey Syaoran, I didn't know you had PE this period. We're playing soccer for this unit. It should be fun." Hideki called waving at Syaoran.
"Ni hao Syaoran!" Sakura called.
"Ni hao Sakura and Konichiwa Hideki. I'm excited about the soccer unit. I can't wait to kick some butt." Syaoran called and started walking towards Sakura and Hideki.
"I can't wait to see Syaoran show off his skills." Hideki commented to Sakura.
"Syaoran said that he was team captain of his school soccer team last year in Hong Kong." Sakura said.
"Really?" Hideki asked. "Hey Syaoran, were you team captain of your school's team back in Hong Kong?" Hideki asked.
"Hai, that's right. Who told you?" Syaoran asked. Hideki points to Sakura. The PE teacher blows his whistle.
"Class get in roll call (A/N: At my school, for PE we get in roll call. Roll call is just rows of the students in Alphabetical order by last name.) onegai shimasu." Sensei Yoshioka called. All the students scurry in alphabetical order. Sakura sits in front of Hideki because there aren't anyone with the last name that starts with `L' (A/N: Until now.....). "Are you a new student?" Sensei Yoshioka asked looking at Syaoran Li.
"Hai, my name is Syaoran Li." Li answered.
"Okay, you can sit in front of Hideki Matsuro and behind Sakura Kinomoto. I need you to fill out this card also." Sensei Yoshioka says pointing to the spot and handing Syaoran the card.
"Hai, I'll hurry and fill it out. Ano.....do you have a pencil or a pen? I left mine in my PE locker." Syaoran asked.
"Sure, here." Sensei Yoshioka hands him a pen and Syaoran goes and sits down. "Mr. Syaoran, I heard you're trying out for the boy's soccer team...is that true?" Sensei Yoshioka asks.
"Hai, I am. I used to be the captain of my school's soccer team back in Hong Kong." Syaoran answered.
"We're doing the soccer unit so that might help you condition a little before soccer try-outs this afternoon." Sensei Yoshioka answered. "Class, I'd like you to get a team of eleven people. The team can be co-ed. Hurry, Hurry." Hideki, Brandon, Sakura, Syaoran, Yamazaki, Chiharu, Rika, Tomoyo, Mariko, and Heero grouped together as one team. (A/N: I made up the Mariko and Heero, so the team would have eleven people. They are just extras in the story; they don't have a major part.)
"Hey both the soccer captains from last year can't be on the same team, they'd be undefeatable!" a random student called out.
"Yah, that wouldn't be fair." Another student called out.
"We want Hideki Matsuro!"
"We want Sakura Kinomoto!"
"Calm down class. Miss Kinomoto and Mr. Matsuro, can you onegai shimasu split up into separate teams. It would be an unfair disadvantage for the rest of the PE class, if the two of you were on the same team together." Coach Yoshioka asked.
"Hai, I shall." Hideki says with a smile.
"Arigato gozaimasu Mr. Matsuro. Ms. Kinomoto you may stay with the team are currently with. Ano, will Takeru join Sakura's team, onegai shimasu." Coach Yoshioka asks relieved.
"Hai." Takeru calls running up to join Sakura's team.
*~*~*~*~*
"Sakura-chan, did you enjoy PE today?" Tomoyo asks.
"Hai, we beat all the soccer teams. I'm surprised we beat Hideki-kun's team though. He had a good defense, but although his offense sucked. Maybe I'm not really surprised, but Hideki usually wins especially when it comes to soccer." Sakura says unsure.
"Did you see how good Syaoran was? He was almost as skilled as Hideki if not more." Tomoyo says.
"Yah, he is pretty fast and he can handle the soccer ball well. Hideki will have some competition at the try-outs today." Sakura replies with a smile.
"This should be an interesting try-out maybe I should tape it." Tomoyo sighs with stars in her eyes and Sakura sweat-drops.
"I thought you weren't coming to the soccer try-outs....?" Sakura says confused.
"I wasn't because I was going to watch Brandon's basketball try-outs, but for some reason the try-outs got cancelled. Brandon and I decided to come and watch his brother's soccer try-out instead." Tomoyo explained.
"Oh sugoi. Now I have two other people to cheer for Hideki. I don't want to be the only cheering for Hideki-kun." Sakura says excited.
"That means we need to bring the duct tape, ne?" Tomoyo asks.
"For who? " Sakura asks, obviously not getting the hint.
"Never mind, you simple child." Tomoyo says with a chuckle.
"Okay, whatever you say Tomoyo." Sakura answers.
"Hey, what did you think of the new kid, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asks.
"As I said before he's really fast and great at handling the soccer ball." Sakura answers impatient. "Why do you keep asking me about him anyway?" Sakura asks looking at Tomoyo.
"Just wondering." Tomoyo answers with a smile on the tip of her mouth.
"I don't think you were `just wondering'....what were you implying Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asks starting to cross her arms.
"Nothing....oh look Sakura-chan. It's the new kid, Syaoran Li!" Tomoyo says.
"Why should I care?" Sakura asks.
"Ano, Hideki is with him!" Tomoyo answers.
"OH REALLY?" Sakura asks excitedly.
"Hai." Tomoyo nods.
"Hideki-kun, come sit over here!" Sakura says waving crazily at Hideki. He walks towards Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Konichiwa Sakura-chan! Is it alright if Syaoran sits with us?" Hideki asks.
"Sure, that's sugoi." Sakura smiles. Hideki sits in an empty seat next to Sakura and Syaoran sits behind Sakura.
"Nervous about the tryouts today Hideki?" Sakura asks.
"Nope. Why?" Hideki asks.
"Because Syaoran is pretty good at soccer and he might give you competition, more than what you're used to." Sakura smiles.
"Are you suggesting that Syaoran is better than me?" Hideki asks with a smirk on his face.
"Maybe so, maybe not." Sakura smirks back. Tomoyo takes out her camera and tapes the scene between Sakura and Hideki.
"Who brought our school's soccer team to the 1^st in the district?" Hideki asks haughtily.
"I dunno, I think it was Yamazaki-kun." Sakura says.
"Yah right, was he the soccer captain?" Hideki asks.
"He could've been since he is so skilled at soccer." Sakura says teasingly.
"Just kiss each other and announce to everyone you are going out already....geez" Syaoran mutters. Sakura and Hideki hear Syaoran's comment and both of them blush. Tomoyo is still taping this "kawaii" moment.
"Nani? What are you talking about Syaoran? We don't like each other." Sakura and Hideki say at the same time, still blushing.
"Sure whatever." Syaoran says sarcastically.
"Sakura, Hideki are you done flirting with each yet?" the study hall sensei asks with a smirk.
"Gomen...."Sakura and Hideki bow to the sensei.
"Onegai shimasu, sit down so I can take roll, both of you. If I catch the two of you flirting again, I'll send you to the principal's office." the study hall sensei says.
