King of Hearts- Chapter 1
By: Sapphie ^.~
Shaoran let out a yawn. He crossed his arms
and slouched in his chair a bit. He
looked around the room. As he expected, there were girls looking at
him, giggling at him,
blushing and everything else girls did when they saw him. Suddenly,
he felt a poke in his
back. He sat up quickly, a little surprised by it. He turned around
and gave Tomoyo a
playful glare. Tomoyo smiled innocently.
"You know, slouching is bad for your back."
Tomoyo whispered, trying to hold
back a giggle. "What would we do if our future Li clan leader had a
bad back?" Tomoyo
asked slyly. Shaoran still glared at her.
"Haha. Very funny." he whispered back. He
turned around and began to tap his
pen on the desk. Letting out a sigh, he wondered, 'When will this class
end?' Then
almost as if his question had been heard, the ball rang. The sound
of the bell meant that
all students had a ten minute break from classes. Shaoran got up out
of his seat and
leaned against his desk. Tomoyo got out of her seat and stood next
to him. Some other
girls lingered around to stare and look at Shaoran. He noticed a girl
looking at him. The
girl quickly turned her head to pretend she was talking to her friend.
Tomoyo smiled at
Shaoran. The girl slowly turned her head to look at him again. Shaoran
caught her
looking at him and gave her one of his smiles. The girl blushed and
turned around,
giggling with her friend. Tomoyo giggled a bit and slowly shook her
head.
"Don't you get tired of girls staring at you?"
Tomoyo asked quietly.
"No." Shaoran answered. 'It's quite amusing."
he said. Again, Tomoyo shook her
head.
"You know, you're being really mean! You play
with the hearts of young girls!"
Tomoyo said.
"I know, but..." Shaoran ran his fingers through
his thick chestnut hair. " I can't
help it if I look good." Shaoran said. Tomoyo sighed.
"You know, with an attitude like that, I bet
you wouldn't be able to keep a steady
girlfriend." Tomoyo said, almost as if to challenge him.
"For your information, I could have
a steady girlfriend. I just choose not to
have one." Shaoran said confidently.
"Yeah. Sure. I'll believe it when I see it."
Tomoyo said. Shaoran just shrugged
and smiled. Soon, class began again.
"Everybody, have a seat. Settle down." the
teacher said. She waited until all was
silent. "I would like you to meet a new student." The teacher motioned
for this new
student to come in. Soon, a girl with short auburn hair and sparkling
emerald eyes walked
in. All eyes fell on her. "Everyone, I'd like for you to meet Ms. Kinomoto
Sakura." A
shower of greetings were thrown at her. Sakura smiled at the class.
"Hi everyone!" she greeted cheerfully.
"Okay, Sakura." the teacher said. "Why don't
you have a seat at the empty desk in
the back behind Tomoyo? Tomoyo, can you please raise your hand?"
Tomoyo raised her
hand. Sakura quietly nodded her head and walked down the aisle. Noticing
that the guy
sitting in front of the girl named Tomoyo had been staring at her since
she entered the
room. She gave him a sweet smile when she passed him. Sakura sat down,
taking off her
hat and putting her bag on the floor. Tomoyo turned around.
"Welcome, Sakura." Tomoyo greeted happily.
"Thank you." Sakura said, smiling at her.
"Would you like me to show you around the
school?"
"Sure. That would be great." Sakura said.
"Great!! How about we start at lunch? That's
right after this class."
"Okay. Sounds good." Sakura said. Tomoyo smiled
at her and turned back
around. Shaoran turned around.
"Were you talking to the new girl?" Shaoran
asked Tomoyo in a whisper.
"Yeah, I was. And her name is Sakura, not
'the new girl.'" Tomoyo said.
"Okay, okay. Sakura." he whispered. Tomoyo
smiled, knowing that he had his
eyes on her. Sakura looked up from her notebook and noticed that Shaoran
was looking
at her. She smiled at him again. Shaoran smiled back and turned around
in his seat. He
smiled to himself. 'Hmm...she's cute. I have to go out with her. Too
bad I'll only be
breaking her heart.' he thought.
// Lunch time \\
Sakura stared at a piece of paper that had
her locker number and combination on
it. She then looked at a map of the school. Her eyes darted back and
forth, not knowing
which way to go. Suddenly, she felt someone's hand touch her shoulder.
She turned
around in a startled motion.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you."
Tomoyo said apologetically.
"It's okay." Sakura said, smiling.
"Is that your locker number?" Tomoyo asked,
looking at the paper Sakura held in
her hand.
"Yeah. It is. Can you help me find it? I'm
kinda lost." Sakura said, blushing
slightly.
"Sure." Tomoyo replied. "Can I see that?"
Sakura nodded and handed Tomoyo the paper. Tomoyo smiled.
"I know right where it is." Tomoyo said confidently.
"Come on. It's this way."
With that, Sakura followed Tomoyo. In no time, they were at Sakura's
locker. Sakura
smiled.
"Thanks a lot. I thought I'd never find it."
Sakura said, nervously giggling.
"No problem." Tomoyo said brightly. Sakura
opened her locker and put her
school books and bag in it.
"Hey, are you still up for that tour of the
school?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah! Definitely!" Sakura said excitedly.
Tomoyo smiled at Sakura's
cheerfulness.
"Okay!" Tomoyo chirped. She grabbed Sakura's
hand and pulled her. "Come on.
Let's go." Tomoyo said excitedly.
// Somewhere else in the school \\
Shaoran had just finished playing a game of
soccer. He went to the bathroom and
splashed some cold water on his face. Grabbing his towel, he dried
his face off. He
changed into some new clean clothes before he stepped outside. Feeling
bored, he
decided to look for Tomoyo. He scanned the area, but she was nowhere
to be found.
Suddenly, he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around to find
a girl there. Shaoran
gave her a fake smile. (Of course, she didn't know that.)
"Hi there." he said. It was obvious that the
girl was too nervous to say anything.
"Hi, Shaoran." she said shyly. "Um, well,
I ... I was wondering if you wanted to
go to the movies with me tonight," she said, blushing furiously. Shaoran
smiled.
"I'd love to, but I'm busy tonight. Sorry,
sweetie." he said apologetically.
"Okay. Maybe next time." she said.
"Okay." he said. The girl waved goodbye and
ran towards a swarm of giggling
girls. Shaoran slowly shook his head. He walked towards the cafeteria,
thinking that
maybe Tomoyo would be there. Suddenly, he bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry." Shaoran said quickly. He looked
at the person he bumped into. "Oh,
Tomoyo. It's you." he said in a surprised voice.
"It's okay." Tomoyo said. "Oh! Since you're
here, let me introduce you two."
Tomoyo said enthusiastically. She pulled Sakura next to her. Sakura
hesitated a bit, but
soon managed a smile.
"Shaoran, meet Sakura. Sakura, meet Shaoran."
Tomoyo said.
"Hello." Shaoran said. He took Sakura's hand
and kissed it while smiling at her.
Sakura blushed a bit.
"Hi." Sakura said a bit shyly.
"How do you like it here so far?" he asked,
trying to strike up a conversation.
"It's nice here." Sakura answered. "I just
hope that people like me." Sakura
added. Shaoran smirked.
"Oh, don't worry about that. You'll make a
lot of friends in no time. Trust me, I
know. And anyway, you've already become friends with Tomoyo, so there's
no doubt
that you'll make even more friends." he said confidently.
"Yeah, Shaoran's right. You'll definitely
be able to make a lot of new friends."
Tomoyo chirped. Sakura smiled.
"Thank you, guys." Sakura said happily. Everyone
remained silent for a moment,
not knowing what to say. Tomoyo cleared her throat.
"So, Sakura. Do you want me to show you around
some more or do you want to
continue tomorrow?" Tomoyo asked.
"Umm, why don't you show me around some more.
I want to know my way
around this school A.S.A.P." Sakura said.
"Okay then." Tomoyo said. Sakura turned to
Shaoran.
"It was nice meeting you." Sakura said with
a smile.
"Likewise." Shaoran replied.
"Bye, Shaoran." Tomoyo said.
"Bye, Tomoyo. Bye, Sakura." Shaoran said.
They waved goodbye and went their
separate ways.
// A few minutes later... \\
Sakura and Tomoyo sat on a bench, waiting for
the bell to ring. They had about
ten minutes left of lunch. Sakura let out a sigh. She turned towards
Tomoyo.
"Umm....can I ask you something?" Sakura asked
a bit nervously.
"Sure. What is it?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura hesitated.
"Well, I was wondering...and please don't
tell anyone....but....I was wondering...is
Shaoran going out with someone?" Sakura asked, blushing a bit. Tomoyo
let out a little
giggle. She couldn't help it.
"Oh, Sakura. You're just like all the other
girls. You've fallen for his trap."
Tomoyo said. Suddenly, confusion was written all over Sakura's face.
"Okay, let me
explain." Tomoyo said. She took a deep breath.
"Okay. Shaoran. He is the school's cutest
guy. He is also the most conceited guy
in this school, but for some odd reason, that doesn't seem to bother
the girls. But anyway,
he has a huge ego. And ever since I met him, he's been breaking the
hearts of young girls.
I've tried time and again to make him stop, but he won't. He's so wrapped
up in his
conceitedness that he feels he should play every girl. So he sets up
these traps which will
lure all girls to him, only to get their heart broken by him."
Sakura looked at her with amazement.
"Wow. Shaoran's really like that?" Sakura
asked.
"Yup. And I don't think he plans to stop breaking
hearts anytime soon." Tomoyo
said, sighing. "I just wish that he would stop hurting girls' feelings.
I know I sound mean
when I say this, but I want his heart to be broken, just so
he knows what it feels like for
us girls." Tomoyo said. Suddenly, Sakura smirked.
"Tomoyo, I think your wish might just come
true."
