Disclaimer: Must I put myself through this humiliation again? -_- " *sigh*
I don't own CCS... *grumbles* but! I DO own Laurel. Cause Laurel's me! ^_^
heehee!
Chapter two - Beginning
I yawned and smiled as the sun peeked through my curtains, bathing everything in it's warm, loving light. I smiled in my sleep and snuggled closer to my blankets. Suddenly a blaring noise screamed in my ears. I leapt from my bed and stood wide eyed looking for the cause. I paused, dazed for a moment as I stared at my bed. Those weren't my covers...Neither was that my bed. Come to think of it, this isn't even my room... I looked around the foreign room, noting the bright yellow walls, and found the source of my harsh awakening: a small alarm clock situated at the head of the bed. I quickly turned it off and looked around once more. I happened to glance in the mirror.
I peered closer with surprise. Oh my God... I thought as I stared at my reflection. I was no longer wearing my old dark blue jeans and T-shirt. I now had on a pair of pajamas, mostly pink with a yellow collar.
But that wasn't what I was looking at. My eyes had caught my attention. Sounds weird? Not to me. The normal human like eyes I was used to seeing had been replaced with large eyes, the kind I was only used to seeing in cartoons and Mangas. In Anime, to be more exact. After a moment of panic I paused, my memory returning finally. The book and the note of explanation that I had found wandered into my mind and I calmed for a second. It didn't last long though, for it was quickly replaced with excitement and utter joy! I started to laugh and almost screamed with delight.
Then I paused, where was Kero? I pondered this for a moment before shaking my head. Of course! The book I had been pulled into had been the first issue... Then I would be finding the Clow Book today! I squealed with pleasure once more.
A familiar, yet distant voice reached my ears. "Laurel! Hurry up! You're going to be late for school!"
Laurel. Touya had used my name. The strangeness of it was eerie. I glanced at the clock. He's right! I am late! I panicked and ripped open the closet. I grabbed Tomoeda's school uniform and dressed as quickly as possible.
As I hopped down the stairs and turned around to the kitchen and paused. It was all so familiar. I had watched Sakura enter this room so many times. It was spooky to see it from this point of view.
"Hey squirt," Touya said between bites of pancakes.
I paused unsure of what to say. "Um... Hey Touya..." I said quietly as not to raise suspicion. I'd have to be quicker than that. They'd all think I was weird or something. Touya didn't seem to notice my delay and I hurriedly sat down. The pancakes on my plate were light, fluffy and perfectly round, not to mention they were golden brown on both sides.
"Mmm..." I mumbled in joy as I took a first bite.
Sadly, I had no time to enjoy them, Touya was already preparing to leave. I could not be late, after all, this was kind of my first day.
I speedily stuffed the rest of my breakfast into my mouth and grabbed my knapsack, which had been leaning against the wall. I ran for the door, almost tripping over... the skates I forgot! Sakura always rode her skates to school I nervously strapped them on and the gear. I had never been very good at inline skating... I'd have to learn.
"By Laurel!"
Fujitaka... Sakura's dad!. I had almost forgotten
"Bye... Dad!" I said hastily, hoping I didn't sound strange.
He smiled and went back to whatever he had been doing. I sighed in relief and hurried out the door to catch up with Touya. Yukito would be here today. I blushed slightly. How embarrassing... I didn't really like Yukito in that way...
My thoughts were interrupted by the late April cherry trees. I sped along -though more slowly than Sakura. Like I said, I'm not that good- as the soft pink blossoms floated to the ground around me. It was completely beautiful...
Around the corner I spotted Touya on his bike. Julian was riding beside him. Ha, I'm later than Sakura!
"Hi Laurel!" Yukito smiled at me. I must admit, he was pretty cute, but I smiled back.
We continued down the street and soon we came to Tomoeda Elementary School. I paused and suddenly looked worried in real life, I was 14 years old. Did the story adapt to this or did I? Yukito answered my question by waving goodbye and continuing down the road. I breathed a sigh of relief once more. Frowning I skated up to the school. Fourth grade all over again?
I paused when I entered. Yet another problem: where was Sakura's locker? And where were her classes? And much more importantly, What was her lock combination? I cursed the cartoon for not providing more information. A flash of raven black hair turning a corner caught my eye and I followed the person connected to it. I didn't want to look like an idiot just standing there, and perhaps I'd get lucky and follow someone who knew Sakura. Or me.
She turned at a locker and I brightened up. My luck was amazing today. I had followed the one person in the whole school I needed right then! Tomoyo! Inside my head I cheered my intuition with glee. I was definitely working overtime.
I walked over, a smile pasted on my face as I tried to hide my fears. She looked my way and smiled as well.
"Good morning Laurel!" She said cheerfully. "Have you thought of a good topic for the Independent Study yet?"
Luckily for me, I had watched the show many times and knew exactly what to say.
"Not yet, What about you?"
She smiled and even I began to envy her. "I'm doing the Life of a Fourth Grade Girl."
Sakura had been right, Tomoyo was way too smart...
"Can I videotape you after school?"
I paused and panic rose in my stomach. Cheerleading! After school! That's what Sakura does after school! There was no way I could ever do that! As for the baton, I could use that, but flips? I bit my lip. Tomoyo was waiting.
"Um... Sure. Sounds... Great..." I didn't sound very excited, but Tomoyo took it as nervousness.
"Don't worry! You'll be fine!" She winked and smiled.
I laughed nervously.
"Oh! We should be getting to class!" Tomoyo announced. I was glad she had and I slowly followed her to our first class. It was History. Ancient Egypt today. I thought. I smiled, glad to know what was coming.
There we go. Chapter two.I'd be really happy if everyone would R and R it... *puppy eyes* pwease....? lol... Anyway. Like how it's going so far? If you have any suggestions, gimme!! lol. The story/plotty thing will make it's appearance in the next chapter. Which I will be uploading in a second, lol. Have fun all!
