"GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Tomoyo, there is no sunshine you dolt. It's 7 in the morning," Sakura groaned into her pillow.
"Oh, don't be such a weenie! C'mon! It's the first day of classes! Rise and shine sleepyhead! You don't wanna be late, do you?" Tomoyo said, throwing open the curtain to the sun's bright morning rays. Tomoyo then jumped to the foot of Sakura's bed and yanked the comforter from Sakura's grasp, causing her to shiver and scrunch up into a ball with a moan.
"You're horrible."
"I know, and that's why you love me."
"I wouldn't say love," Sakura muttered as she lugged herself out of bed. "Thanks for the wake up call though," she said over her shoulder as she grabbed her robe and headed out towards the bathroom.
"Anytime sweetie. And I mean anytime!" Tomoyo said, pulling some clothes from her closet.
Sakura only grunted in reply.
Fifteen minutes later, Sakura emerges from the bathroom in her fluffy pink robe with her hair wrapped in a yellow towel, looking refreshed. Tomoyo was sitting on her bed, drying her long purple tresses.
"I've been meaning to ask you, is that you real hair color Tomoyo-chan?"
"Yup! Weird, huh? It's beyond me how the color ended up like this," she responded with a shrug as she fluffed out her locks. Sakura was currently pulling out outfits randomly.
"What to wear, what to wear," Sakura mumbled to herself," I have to make a good impression, ne Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo hummed in agreement, trying to untangle her brush from her hair.
Sakura decided on a pair of blue jeans, a form fitting black shirt and her black low Converse Chuck's for her shoes. She then took her hair out of the towel wrap and began brushing it dry. Once it became a little damp, she grabbed a pair of black and white chopsticks and put her hair up into a messy and yet elegant knot, with some strands of her long bangs falling stubbornly back down to her face. Tomoyo had finished curling the ends of her hair and the two nodded in approval at their taste in clothing. Tomoyo was wearing her hair down and curled at the bottom, a khaki knee length skirt and a lilac tank top. The two grabbed their schedules and headed out.
"What's your first class?" Tomoyo asked as they stepped into the lobby.
"Uhhmm. English. I'm hoping the end of this year I become fluent!"
"That shouldn't be too hard, I mean, geez, you are in the advanced class already! I can barely understand the language!" Tomoyo said, making a face of humorous digust because of the language.
Sakura laughed and asked what her first class was, which happened to be Calculus. It was Sakura's turn to make a face of disgust.
"Ahh! Numbers confuse me! I can never get the feel of it! Thank kami for calculators is all I have to say. Well, I better get going. I'm free all day after this class," Sakura grinned, "I only have one class today! Wanna go out for lunch?"
"You lucky dog! I have a class at 10:45 after this, and another at 2:05. Sorry Sakura, I'll call you between classes though, maybe we could catch up later. I'm jealous, how on earth did you manage to get only one class on Mondays!"
"Magic," Sakura smiled cheekily as she headed in the direction of her class. "Bye Tomoyo dear!"
"Ja Sakura! Try to stay out of trouble!" Tomoyo yell at her retreating back, getting a salute from Sakura. Tomoyo laughed and headed in the opposite direction.

Sakura entered her English class and looked around, a mixture of English and Japanese filled the room. She scanned the room hopefully, looking for a friendly face to introduce herself to. Everyone in the room seemed to be sophomores or juniors in college, already in their little cliques, waiting for the teacher. In the back-right corner, she saw a handsome young man sitting quietly, staring out the window, and he appeared to be ready to drop into slumber any minute now. Figuring that he was probably the friendliest looking person in her class, she approached him, unaware of the stares the other students gave her as she walked through the classroom.
"Konnichiwa! May I sit here?" Sakura asked, standing at the side of his desk. The young man continued to stare out the window, unaware or Sakura's presence. Sakura sweatdropped, and tried again, clearing her throat. "Uhm, Konnichiwa! Is this seat taken?" The young man looked startled and looked up.
"Oh! Gomen ne! No, this seat isn't taken, have a seat."
Sakura flashed him a grateful smile. "Thanks! My name is Kinimoto Sakura, and I'm a freshman here. You looked sort of lonely sitting here by yourself." 'Wow, this guys is really HOT!' Sakura thought. 'Tomoyo's gonna have a field day when she finds out!'
"Ohayo Kinomoto-san, my name is Hiiragizawa Eriol. I just transferred here from Hong Kong myself, and I'm also a freshman. Kinomoto-san, your name sound familiar and it seems as if I have met you somewhere. Wonder why.." Eriol pondered.
Suddenly, both their minds clicked in recognition.
"You're the girl that-"
"Hey, don't you live-"
The two laughed at each other, and Sakura signaled for him to continue what he was saying.
"Aren't you the girl who stood up against that group of rowdy juniors at The Eatery?"
Sakura grimaced. "Yup, yup, that would be me. Hey, wait a minute.did you say they were JUNIORS?!?" Sakura gasped in disbelief. It was extremely comforting for her to know that people now knew her as 'the girl at The Eatery' and even more comforting to know that she insulted a potentially popular group of juniors. 'Oh the horror' Sakura thought in dismay, 'and I'm only an underclassman.'
"Yah there? You're sorta spacing out on me," Eriol said, waving his hand in front of her face.
Sakura snapped back to reality, deciding to push her worries back until after class. "Oh yes, I'm fine Hiiragizawa-san, I'm just thinking."
"Call me Eriol," se said, putting out his hand.
"In that case, call me Sakura," Sakura said, shaking his large hand. "Oh yeah, I think I know where I've seen you! You live on my floor , huh? My friend Tomoyo and I live there, and I'm pretty sure we passed you the other day in the hall. It's either that or I'm seeing things," she laughed.
"Haha, that was you, wasn't it? Cool. We live on the same floor! Now I can bum english notes from you since I absolutely suck in this language!"
"Well, you're in luck, because this happens to be one of my favorite languages in the whole world. Oh look, here comes the teacher Eriol-kun!"
The professor walked though the door, and the class quieted down. Professor Wilky was his name, and the moment his name was said, muffled giggles were heard all around the room, Sakura and Eriol were no exception. Eriol scribbled something on a piece of paper, tore it off, and passed it to Sakura.
-Wanna grab something to eat after this? We only have 90 more minutes to go before this class is over, plus my next class doesn't start until 11:30. You game?-
Sakura read his message and smiled. She wrote back:
-Eriol-kun, I never expected you to be the note passing, feminine type. I'm impressed! Can I ask my roommate to tag along? I promised I'd call her between her classes, you wouldn't mind would you?-
Taking another piece of paper, Eriol replied:
-Har har, I'll have you know I enjoy distancing myself from my feminine side. Your roommate wouldn't happen to be a gorgeous young lady with almost purple hair, would she? I would ask my dick for a roommate but I think he has a class directly after his first class.-
-Yes, that would be Tomoyo. Sucks for your roommate! I don't have any classes at all today after this! So Starbucks sounds okay after this?-
Eriol nodded in agreement, and the two turned their attention back to the wonders of past, present, and future tenses of English verbs. Oh the joy!
- - - - - - - - - - -
On the other side of campus, Tomoyo was seated at her desk, drawing little pictures on her calculus notebook when the door to the classroom opened and there walked in that Xuan girl and another one of her friends. Tomoyo sank deeper into her seat, pulling out her cell phone as a distraction. 'Hopefully she won't see me' Tomoyo thought as she turned off the sound of her cell. Luckily for her, Xuan was too absorbed in telling her friend a story about the rude lady who did her nails last night. Xuan picked a seat in front of Tomoyo, and Tomoyo let out a sigh of relief. 'Now, if only Sak- chan was in this class' Tomoyo though with a smile.
'Only 3 more minutes until class. What to do, what to do,' Tomoyo thought to herself, deciding to text Sakura to see how she was doing. She was so absorbed in her text that she didn't realize the professor that walked in, giving instructions. She also didn't realize the figure that snuck into class 5 minutes late that took the seat right next to her. Finally looking up from her text, her eyes met with an amused pair of amber eyes attached to an attractive young male sitting next to her.
"Li Syaoran, nice to meet you," they guy said quietly, putting out his hand.
"Daidouji Tomoyo, same to you," she replied.
"Aren't you the girl who poured water on the one chick sitting right there?" Syaoran asked, pointing at Xuan.
Tomoyo blushed. "Yah, that was me."
"I have a feeling we're going to be wonderful buddies," Syaoran laughed, "I like you and your friend's style. I honor you with my utmost respect," he said, comically nodding his head up and down. 'She also knows that one girl with the aura...' he thought.
Tomoyo was about to reply when the professor appeared out of no where, clearing his throat right in front of the two, startling Tomoyo.
"Gomen sensei," the two chorused, and the sensei only glared and waddled off, causing the two to stifle their laughs after Syaoran muttered a not so nice comment about their duck-ish looking teacher.
Xuan choose that moment to look back, and her make-up crusted face scrunched up her eyes narrowed in recognition of Tomoyo. Tomoyo let out a small yelp when there eyes made contact. Xuan, noticing the handsome Syaoran sitting next to her, instantly changed her terrifying facial expression and began batting her eyelashes continuously in attempt to flirt.
"I think one of her face lashes just fell into her eye," Syaoran whispered to Tomoyo, who was currently trying her absolute hardest to keep the laugh in her.
'Sakura's gunna have a field day! This guy is hOt..and funny!'
- - - - - - - - - - -
"FINALLY," Eriol somewhat roared, standing up and stretching his arms, "it's over! Let's go Sakura dear, caffeine awaits us," he coaxed, pulling her up by the arms onto her feet.
Sakura barely had time to grab her bag and book before she was dragged out of the classroom. She laughed at the young man's energy, and then realized what a height difference the two had.
"Gosh Eriol-kun, you hecka tall!" Sakura marveled, looking up at him on the way to the coffeeshop.
"Gee golly Sakura, you're super small!" Eriol laughed, patting her head, "what are you, 4'11?"
Sakura swatted his hand away and laughed, "I'll have you know I am 5'2, thanks so much. What about you Mister Tall Guy, how tall are you?"
"I, my dear, stand at a masculine 6'1," he replied with a pose full of pride.
"Haha, masculine my ass!" Sakura replied.
"OUCH, that hurt, although I must disagree. Your ass doesn't look masculine in any way," he said with a chuckle, "but don't worry, I'm changing the subject right now."
"You better be you big bully," she said, playfully shoving him into the street. She was rewarded with a nudge from Eriol, and she went flying right into a nearby pedestrian.
"OH, I'm so sorry sir!" Sakura apologized, offering to help up the poor bystander she knocked down.
"Ahh, Sakura Kinomoto, we meet again," the guy responded, taking her offered hands and standing up.
"Hi there Tasuki! Sorry about that, my friend here is a little violent," she said, shooting a playful glare in Eriol's direction. Eriol only shrugged and grinned, hiding what he was really feeling in the inside.
"Tasuki Yumori."
"Hiiragizawa Eriol." The two sized each other up, both looking like they distrusted each other immediately.
'This guy,' Eriol thought, 'I don't trust him. It seems as if he is holding back a dark aura, and that could mean only one thing. I do believe this guy is evil,' the thought made Eriol frowns deeper.
Sakura on the other hand, while on the outside looking completely oblivious actually was thinking something along the line of what Eriol was thinking. 'I better steer clear of this guy, I felt his aura stronger now than I did the other day. Something must be up. What's up with Eriol?!' she thought, 'he looks like an overprotective dad!'
Tasuki watched the two with interest. 'So, they sense my aura, that just makes things a whole lot more appealing . "It was nice meeting you Hiiragizawa-san, but I have to go now. Ja ne!" and with that, Tasuki was gone.
"Well, he's a nice boy, don't you think Eriol-kun?"
"Oh yes, absolutely," he replied, and if Sakura didn't know any better, she could have sworn she heard the sarcasm in his voice.
"Anyway, back to Starbucks! In the mood for a caramel frappuccino [a/n: did I spell that right?] mounted with whipped cream. What about you?" Sakura asked, trying to lighten the sudden edgy mood.
"I'm feeling a mocha frapp. C'mon my vertically challenged friend, I have a class in an hour and I need to go back to the dorm to pick up my books! Hustle!"
"Haha, you know, normally I wouldn't let someone I just met 2 hours ago push me around," Sakura mused out loud.
"I guess I'm just special, huh? It's okay, I know a lot of girls are easily drawn in by my good looks and charms," Eriol playfully gloated.
"Good looks and charms my toosh," Sakura laughed, pushing open the doors to the world renowned. The two ordered their drinks, and then engaged in a heated debate over the U.S. and the pros of cons of them going into war. The debate ended with Sakura throwing her hands above her head in exasperation, wondering why she can't see the perspective of war like Eriol did.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Back on campus, Tomoyo and Syaoran just said there good byes, both heading in their separate directions. Tomoyo was smiling at her parting words, feeling sorry for Syaoran as the seconds ticked by.
"Bye calculus friend! Until next time? Or I should say, until I see you in the hall with your hot friend? Not that you're not hot though!" Syaoran said, trying to cover up his blunder.
"Haha, you're such a dork! Well, have fun with your little fan club; I think I see them hiding behind that pillar over there, waiting for you to pass. You wouldn't want to keep them waiting, now would you?" Tomoyo said with a chuckle.
"Oh the agony!" and with that, they parted.
Looking behind her shoulder, she saw her calculus friend being attacked by one slutty Xuan and an equally slutty Xuan friend. She laughed as she saw Syaoran's retreating back slouch noticeably as the two girls harassed him all the way to his next class. 'Poor guy, but hey, he was hot!' she thought to herself, pulling out her cell. 'I wonder what my friend Sakura is up to.'
*ring*ring*
*Moshi moshi, Kinomoto Sakura's phone, how may a please you this morning* a deep manly voice answered, startling Tomoyo, almost causing her to drop the phone.
"Whoa, that was unexpected. Who are you?!" Tomoyo finally managed spit out.
A deep chuckle was heard as Tomoyo heard Sakura yelling in the background. *Tomoyo-chan? Is that you? Gomen ne! I met this big huge donkey in my English class* Sakura spoke happily into the phone *and I think you'd like him Tomoyo dear, he seems like your type* she added, lowering her voice to add effect.
"Hohoho, Sak-chan! You're a quick one!" Tomoyo laughed, "So, is he hot?!?!"
*OH MY GOODNESS! You'll see! By the way he looks and acts, I know you two will hit it off like BAM! Cupid Sakura is on the job!* Sakura laughed through the phone.
"Right dear, whatever you say. So where are you?"
*I'm on my way back to the dorm, he live in the same floor as we do, too!*
"That's nice. Well, the professor just walked into my Health lecture, I'll talk to you later, yah?"
*Of course! Have fUuUuUuUuUuNn!* came Sakura's genki reply.
"Uh huh, and you have fun with your little boy toy."
*No dear, that's your job, not mine* and with that the conversation ended.
'Oh that Sakura-chan' Tomoyo thought, 'he better be cute!! Oh, I forgot to tell her about Syaoran-kun! She probably would've loved him!' With a sigh she then she turned back to her fun health lecture.
[a/n: haha..Tomoyo! she *forgot* to tell Sakura about Syaoran ..buahaha]
- - - - - - - - - - -
Eriol and Sakura finally made it to the dorm, surprised to find out that they lived right next door to each other. They said their goodbyes and Eriol was on his way to his second to last class of the day.
'Eriol is such a nice guy! Kind of reminds me if a less over-protective Touya! Haha, I'll be damned if he starts interrogating my dates.' Sakura sighed,' but if he were to interrogate my dates, I first need to find one.' She walked up to her desk with all her pictures, a sudden wave of homesickness coming over her.
'I wonder how Chiharu, Takashi and Rika are doing', she thought, picking up the picture. 'even more, I wonder how things are going with my Syaoran- kun', she thought sadly, setting down the picture of her friends and picking up the picture of Syaoran, Kero and her. 'Will you ever come back to me? I miss you..' she thought, setting down the picture.
'Enough of these sad thoughts,' she told herself, 'I think I need a nap.' Sakura kicked off her shoes and jumped into her bed, fully clothed and everything. 'Screw it, I'm freakn tired!' And with that, Sakura drifted off into slumber.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Two hours later, Syaoran trudged back to his dorm, completely worn out. 'Who knew these girls in Japan could be so clingy! And I thought Hong Kong was bad! All I need is a nice long nap. Thank kami I have no more classes.'
He unlocked his door, threw down his stuff and plopped onto his bed, ready for a nap. No sooner had he fell onto his bed and closed his eyes, a loud scream pierced the air, coming from the room next him. "What the hell??" he said, darting up, following the scream. He heard a female go, "Oh my GOD! GET AWAY!" outside the dorm he was standing in front, and yanked open the door with hesitation. The sight that met him was not what he expected.
A beautiful young woman was backed up onto the corner of her bed and her wall, her knees up to her chest, trying to avoid an small evil creature approaching her, all the while whimpering ."Oh my god, oh my god oh my god, OH MY GOD..GET OFfFFFFF! I'm gunna cRy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She shrieked, then jumped up on her bed as the creature advanced upon her. That's when she heard a low chuckle coming from the door.
"Help me!" she squeaked.
The handsome young man with amber eyes and hair chuckled at the girl's predicament, strode over to her bed, reaching for a Kleenex and picked up.
"It's only a spider," the guy chuckled, holding up the Kleenex to the beautiful girl. He was fully prepared to smash it when she shrieked.
"Noo!! Don't kill it!! What did it do to you?!"
Syaoran fell anime style and sweatdropped. "Well what the hell did you want me to do with it?" he asked in confusion.
"Here," she said, "let it go out the window!"
With that, they guy walked up to the window, opened it, and let it go. While closing the window, he looked at the pictures on her desk, his eyes catching a photo in one of the frames. 'No..' he thought.
Sakura on the other hand, was still standing on her bed, her heart beating rapidly [not because of the spider!]. 'It can't be..' she thought, staring at the back of man before her. 'This can't be, I'm only dreaming. This can't be Syaoran Li, that's just wishful thinking, Sakura. Snap out of it!' she told herself, but her heart wouldn't stop fluttering.
The handsome guy then turned around to meet emerald eyes, and choked out, "Sakura?!'
She gasped and her eyes widened hearing her name come out of his mouth, and then she felt tears moisten her eyes in recognition. "Syaoran.." she whispered.

"GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Tomoyo, there is no sunshine you dolt. It's 7 in the morning," Sakura groaned into her pillow.
"Oh, don't be such a weenie! C'mon! It's the first day of classes! Rise and shine sleepyhead! You don't wanna be late, do you?" Tomoyo said, throwing open the curtain to the sun's bright morning rays. Tomoyo then jumped to the foot of Sakura's bed and yanked the comforter from Sakura's grasp, causing her to shiver and scrunch up into a ball with a moan.
"You're horrible."
"I know, and that's why you love me."
"I wouldn't say love," Sakura muttered as she lugged herself out of bed. "Thanks for the wake up call though," she said over her shoulder as she grabbed her robe and headed out towards the bathroom.

"Ahh! Numbers confuse me! I can never get the feel of it! Thank kami for calculators is all I have to say. Well, I better get going. I'm free all day after this class," Sakura grinned, "I only have one class today! Wanna go out for lunch?"
"You lucky dog! I have a class at 10:45 after this, and another at 2:05. Sorry Sakura, I'll call you between classes though, maybe we could catch up later. I'm jealous, how on earth did you manage to get only one class on Mondays!"
"Magic," Sakura smiled cheekily as she headed in the direction of her class. "Bye Tomoyo dear!"

On the other side of campus, Tomoyo was seated at her desk, drawing little pictures on her calculus notebook when the door to the classroom opened and there walked in that Xuan girl and another one of her friends. Tomoyo sank deeper into her seat, pulling out her cell phone as a distraction. 'Hopefully she won't see me' Tomoyo thought as she turned off the sound of her cell. Luckily for her, Xuan was too absorbed in telling her friend a story about the rude lady who did her nails last night. Xuan picked a seat in front of Tomoyo, and Tomoyo let out a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you the girl who poured water on the one chick sitting right there?" Syaoran asked, pointing at Xuan.
Tomoyo blushed. "Yah, that was me."
"I have a feeling we're going to be wonderful buddies," Syaoran laughed, "I like you and your friend's style. I honor you with my utmost respect," he said, comically nodding his head up and down. 'She also knows that one girl with the aura...' he thought.
Tomoyo was about to reply when the professor appeared out of no where, clearing his throat right in front of the two, startling Tomoyo.
"Gomen sensei," the two chorused, and the sensei only glared and waddled off, causing the two to stifle their laughs after Syaoran muttered a not so nice comment about their duck-ish looking teacher.
Xuan choose that moment to look back, and her make-up crusted face scrunched up her eyes narrowed in recognition of Tomoyo. Tomoyo let out a small yelp when there eyes made contact. Xuan, noticing the handsome Syaoran sitting next to her, instantly changed her terrifying facial expression and began batting her eyelashes continuously in attempt to flirt.
"I think one of her face lashes just fell into her eye," Syaoran whispered to Tomoyo, who was currently trying her absolute hardest to keep the laugh in her.
'Sakura's gunna have a field day! This guy is hOt..and funny!'

"FINALLY," Eriol somewhat roared, standing up and stretching his arms, "it's over! Let's go Sakura dear, caffeine awaits us," he coaxed, pulling her up by the arms onto her feet.
Sakura barely had time to grab her bag and book before she was dragged out of the classroom. She laughed at the young man's energy, and then realized what a height difference the two had.
"Gosh Eriol-kun, you hecka tall!" Sakura marveled, looking up at him on the way to the coffeeshop.
"Gee golly Sakura, you're super small!" Eriol laughed, patting her head, "what are you, 4'11?"
Sakura swatted his hand away and laughed, "I'll have you know I am 5'2, thanks so much. What about you Mister Tall Guy, how tall are you?"
"I, my dear, stand at a masculine 6'1," he replied with a pose full of pride.
"Haha, masculine my ass!" Sakura replied.
"OUCH, that hurt, although I must disagree. Your ass doesn't look masculine in any way," he said with a chuckle, "but don't worry, I'm changing the subject right now."
"You better be you big bully," she said, playfully shoving him into the street. She was rewarded with a nudge from Eriol, and she went flying right into a nearby pedestrian.
"OH, I'm so sorry sir!" Sakura apologized, offering to help up the poor bystander she knocked down.
"Ahh, Sakura Kinomoto, we meet again," the guy responded, taking her offered hands and standing up.
"Hi there Tasuki! Sorry about that, my friend here is a little violent," she said, shooting a playful glare in Eriol's direction. Eriol only shrugged and grinned, hiding what he was really feeling in the inside.
"Tasuki Yumori."
"Hiiragizawa Eriol." The two sized each other up, both looking like they distrusted each other immediately.
'This guy,' Eriol thought, 'I don't trust him. It seems as if he is holding back a dark aura, and that could mean only one thing. I do believe this guy is evil,' the thought made Eriol frowns deeper.
Sakura on the other hand, while on the outside looking completely oblivious actually was thinking something along the line of what Eriol was thinking. 'I better steer clear of this guy, I felt his aura stronger now than I did the other day. Something must be up. What's up with Eriol?!' she thought, 'he looks like an overprotective dad!'
Tasuki watched the two with interest. 'So, they sense my aura, that just makes things a whole lot more appealing . "It was nice meeting you Hiiragizawa-san, but I have to go now. Ja ne!" and with that, Tasuki was gone.
"Well, he's a nice boy, don't you think Eriol-kun?"
"Oh yes, absolutely," he replied, and if Sakura didn't know any better, she could have sworn she heard the sarcasm in his voice.
"Anyway, back to Starbucks! In the mood for a caramel frappuccino [a/n: did I spell that right?] mounted with whipped cream. What about you?" Sakura asked, trying to lighten the sudden edgy mood.
"I'm feeling a mocha frapp. C'mon my vertically challenged friend, I have a class in an hour and I need to go back to the dorm to pick up my books! Hustle!"
"Haha, you know, normally I wouldn't let someone I just met 2 hours ago push me around," Sakura mused out loud.
"I guess I'm just special, huh? It's okay, I know a lot of girls are easily drawn in by my good looks and charms," Eriol playfully gloated.
"Good looks and charms my toosh," Sakura laughed, pushing open the doors to the world renowned. The two ordered their drinks, and then engaged in a heated debate over the U.S. and the pros of cons of them going into war. The debate ended with Sakura throwing her hands above her head in exasperation, wondering why she can't see the perspective of war like Eriol did.

Back on campus, Tomoyo and Syaoran just said there good byes, both heading in their separate directions. Tomoyo was smiling at her parting words, feeling sorry for Syaoran as the seconds ticked by.
"Bye calculus friend! Until next time? Or I should say, until I see you in the hall with your hot friend? Not that you're not hot though!" Syaoran said, trying to cover up his blunder.
"Haha, you're such a dork! Well, have fun with your little fan club; I think I see them hiding behind that pillar over there, waiting for you to pass. You wouldn't want to keep them waiting, now would you?" Tomoyo said with a chuckle.
"Oh the agony!" and with that, they parted.
Looking behind her shoulder, she saw her calculus friend being attacked by one slutty Xuan and an equally slutty Xuan friend. She laughed as she saw Syaoran's retreating back slouch noticeably as the two girls harassed him all the way to his next class. 'Poor guy, but hey, he was hot!' she thought to herself, pulling out her cell. 'I wonder what my friend Sakura is up to.'
*ring*ring*
*Moshi moshi, Kinomoto Sakura's phone, how may a please you this morning* a deep manly voice answered, startling Tomoyo, almost causing her to drop the phone.
"Whoa, that was unexpected. Who are you?!" Tomoyo finally managed spit out.
A deep chuckle was heard as Tomoyo heard Sakura yelling in the background. *Tomoyo-chan? Is that you? Gomen ne! I met this big huge donkey in my English class* Sakura spoke happily into the phone *and I think you'd like him Tomoyo dear, he seems like your type* she added, lowering her voice to add effect.
"Hohoho, Sak-chan! You're a quick one!" Tomoyo laughed, "So, is he hot?!?!"
*OH MY GOODNESS! You'll see! By the way he looks and acts, I know you two will hit it off like BAM! Cupid Sakura is on the job!* Sakura laughed through the phone.
"Right dear, whatever you say. So where are you?"
*I'm on my way back to the dorm, he live in the same floor as we do, too!*
"That's nice. Well, the professor just walked into my Health lecture, I'll talk to you later, yah?"
*Of course! Have fUuUuUuUuUuNn!* came Sakura's genki reply.
"Uh huh, and you have fun with your little boy toy."
*No dear, that's your job, not mine* and with that the conversation ended.
'Oh that Sakura-chan' Tomoyo thought, 'he better be cute!! Oh, I forgot to tell her about Syaoran-kun! She probably would've loved him!' With a sigh she then she turned back to her fun health lecture.
[a/n: haha..Tomoyo! she *forgot* to tell Sakura about Syaoran ..buahaha]

Eriol and Sakura finally made it to the dorm, surprised to find out that they lived right next door to each other. They said their goodbyes and Eriol was on his way to his second to last class of the day.
'Eriol is such a nice guy! Kind of reminds me if a less over-protective Touya! Haha, I'll be damned if he starts interrogating my dates.' Sakura sighed,' but if he were to interrogate my dates, I first need to find one.' She walked up to her desk with all her pictures, a sudden wave of homesickness coming over her.
'I wonder how Chiharu, Takashi and Rika are doing', she thought, picking up the picture. 'even more, I wonder how things are going with my Syaoran- kun', she thought sadly, setting down the picture of her friends and picking up the picture of Syaoran, Kero and her. 'Will you ever come back to me? I miss you..' she thought, setting down the picture.
'Enough of these sad thoughts,' she told herself, 'I think I need a nap.' Sakura kicked off her shoes and jumped into her bed, fully clothed and everything. 'Screw it, I'm freakn tired!' And with that, Sakura drifted off into slumber.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Two hours later, Syaoran trudged back to his dorm, completely worn out. 'Who knew these girls in Japan could be so clingy! And I thought Hong Kong was bad! All I need is a nice long nap. Thank kami I have no more classes.'
He unlocked his door, threw down his stuff and plopped onto his bed, ready for a nap. No sooner had he fell onto his bed and closed his eyes, a loud scream pierced the air, coming from the room next him. "What the hell??" he said, darting up, following the scream. He heard a female go, "Oh my GOD! GET AWAY!" outside the dorm he was standing in front, and yanked open the door with hesitation. The sight that met him was not what he expected.
A beautiful young woman was backed up onto the corner of her bed and her wall, her knees up to her chest, trying to avoid an small evil creature approaching her, all the while whimpering ."Oh my god, oh my god oh my god, OH MY GOD..GET OFfFFFFF! I'm gunna cRy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She shrieked, then jumped up on her bed as the creature advanced upon her. That's when she heard a low chuckle coming from the door.
"Help me!" she squeaked.
The handsome young man with amber eyes and hair chuckled at the girl's predicament, strode over to her bed, reaching for a Kleenex and picked up.
"It's only a spider," the guy chuckled, holding up the Kleenex to the beautiful girl. He was fully prepared to smash it when she shrieked.
"Noo!! Don't kill it!! What did it do to you?!"
Syaoran fell anime style and sweatdropped. "Well what the hell did you want me to do with it?" he asked in confusion.
"Here," she said, "let it go out the window!"
With that, they guy walked up to the window, opened it, and let it go. While closing the window, he looked at the pictures on her desk, his eyes catching a photo in one of the frames. 'No..' he thought.
Sakura on the other hand, was still standing on her bed, her heart beating rapidly [not because of the spider!]. 'It can't be..' she thought, staring at the back of man before her. 'This can't be, I'm only dreaming. This can't be Syaoran Li, that's just wishful thinking, Sakura. Snap out of it!' she told herself, but her heart wouldn't stop fluttering.
The handsome guy then turned around to meet emerald eyes, and choked out, "Sakura?!'
She gasped and her eyes widened hearing her name come out of his mouth, and then she felt tears moisten her eyes in recognition. "Syaoran.." she whispered.
