Kalli: Oh! I forgot to say in the last chapter that they are now in high school & are around 16-18 years old. Here's a description of each person:

Sakura- grew her hair out to her elbows(it's still in the same style though).

Rika and Chiharu- look the same, except their hair is a little bit longer.

Naoko- grew her hair to a little above her shoulderblades and got blue contacts.

Syaoran and Eriol - grew taller, more muscled and their hair is just like a centimeter longer.

Yamazaki- looks the same,just taller.

Tomoyo- looks the same except she's taller and wears her hair in a ponytail more often.

#at CLAMP store#

*takes out 56 cents*

Kalli: um...is this enough to buy CCS?

Clerk: *looks over reading glasses* That's not enough to buy a centimeter of paper off the page of one of the scripts.

Kalli: *pout* *looks at readers* do you think I own CCS? If you do, you need to see someone who can help you with your problems.

Sorry, had to do that disclaimer! Just popped into my head......

For the Love of....Who?

~~~At school~~~~~

Tomoyo smiled as Sakura and Syaoran entered the classroom together. "Ohayou Sakura, Syaoran."

They both smiled and waved at her in greeting.

Rika , who was sitting next to Tomoyo, turned to her in excitement. "Tomoyo, Naoko was just talking about something you would probably be interested in."

"What's that?"

Naoko grinned. "We heard that Terada-sensei is going to make a big anouncement today and we were guessing about what it might be."

Tomoyo tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Ano... maybe it's about a new project!"

Naoko shrugged. "I thought it might be about a new student."

Chiharu nodded in agreement. "That's I hope it is."

"Maybe we're doing renovation on the school." Said Syaoran, who had decided to join the conversation.

Sakura suddenly gasped enthusiastically. "Maybe we'll finally get a field day!"

Yamazaki quickly popped out of nowhere in his usual one-finger-in-the-air lying position. "Did you know that field days originally come from-"

Chiharu pulled a mallet out of her backpack and slammed it on Yamazaki's head. "YAMAZAKI!!!!! STOP TELLING YOUR STUPID STORIES!!!!!THEY'RE ALL LIES!!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone else just laughed nervously as Yamazaki was being beaten within half an inch of his life.

Tomoyo then turned on Eriol. "Eriol, what do you think it is?"

"Uh.. I don't know...maybe a school trip or something."

"Eriol, are you okay? Your kinda red." She asked with concern.

Eriol bit his lip nervously. 'Damnit! I've got to stop blushing!' He did his best to keep his calm posture and smiled at her. "I'm fine Tomoyo! Really!"

She looked at him suspiciously before dismissing it. "Ok Eriol, if you say so."

But she still wondered if he was okay................he seemed so distant and distracted lately.

Before she could wander about it anymore, Terada-sensei walked in, and everyone immediately shuffled to get to their seats. Apparently, they had not been the only ones to hear that there was big news.

Terada quirked an eyebrow at his unusually obedient class. "I guess you've all heard that I've got some news for you. Since I don't want to waste too much time on this, I'll just go ahead and tell you. We've got a new student coming to join us tomorrow."

Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko grinned at each other happily.

Then Yamazaki raised his hand.

Terada nodded to him. "Yes?"

"Is it a girl or a boy?"

Chiharu glared at Yamazaki angrily. 'He shouldn't be asking questions like that.. I'M HIS GIRLFRIEND!!! He better be thinking of the new student and him as just FRIENDS, if it's a girl that is..cause he's not gay...at least I don't THINK he is..hmmm'

Terada-sensei smiled. "Sorry Yamazaki, but you'll have to find out for yourself tomorrow morning. Anyway, I hope everybody did their homework lastnight. Get your papers out and we'll go down the rows for answers. Okay, Hokima start us out please."

"3.75"

"Yes, good! Next!"

A small male looked up. "89."

"Yes, that's right."

When there was no response to the next question after a few minutes, Terada craned his head to see what was going on. "Kinomoto-san it's your turn. Kinomoto-san??"

Everyone turned to see Sakura fast asleep on her desk with a little drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

He shook his head. "If she could solve problems as fast as she goes to sleep in this class, I'd never have any trouble." He walked over to her desk and dropped her book on her desk with no hesitation.

She shot up out of her seat. "HOE!!!???"

After the class was done laughing, Terada gave her a stern look. "Detention, Kinomoto. This afternoon until 3:30."

Sakura groaned loudly. "Ugh, not another one!!!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gym Class~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The teacher walked in briskly and clapped her hands for attention. "Okay class, today we're going to start with selective sports. You can choose from volleyball,soccer,basketball,softball,football,gymnastics, and track."

She gestured to different points in the gym as she spoke. "There is a sign- up sheet for each sport around the gym. There have to be at least 6 people per sport. Now, GO!"

Yamazaki, Syaoran, & Eriol went straight for their favorite sport: soccer.

Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other, then Sakura spoke up. "I was gonna do gymnastics."

Tomoyo frowned. "Aw, we're going to different sports. Gymnastics isn't my thing. I was going for volleyball."

"I guess I'll see ya after class then."

They waved to each other, and then right as Sakura turned around she slipped and fell flat on the floor. "Definitely NOT a good omen....."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After Gym Class~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomoyo bounced into the locker room with a smile. "Hey Sakura! Guess what?"

"What?"

"Miyoko, ya know, the volleyball captain, well, she was my partner and we won our match by 5 points!"

"Congrats!"

They continued to jabber about this and that, then walked out and saw Syaoran scowling at a laughing Eriol and Yamazaki.

Tomoyo gave them a curious look. "What's going on?"

"Oh, we were just telling Syaoran, once again, how magical it felt to beat his ass in soccer by 10 points." Said Yamazaki casually.

Syaoran scowled. "Just you wait, Takashi. That goes for you too, Hiriigizawa, you evil thing!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lunch~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Syaoran, we're still on for our date after school, right?" asked Tomoyo sweetly.

"Sorry ,Tomoyo, but I got a detention for accidentally blowing up part of science lab."

Rika snorted. "Part of it? You almost blew the walls off!"

"Thank you, Rika." He said flatly.

Tomoyo grinned. "I understand. So anyway, what do you think the new student's gonna be like?"

Sakura smiled. "I hope they're nice."

Yamazaki grinned and rubbed his hands together. "I hope they know some good stories."

"As long as it's not another Meiling, I'll be happy." Syaoran winced, saying his oh-so-beloved cousin's name.

Sakura frowned. "What's wrong with Meiling?"

"Do you want the whole list or just the first 100?"

While Sakura and Syaoran bickered over if Meiling was good or evil, Tomoyo watched Eriol, who wasn't smiling as he usually did. "Eriol, you sure are quite today. Is something wrong?"

"No Tomoyo, I told you this morning I'm fine!"

"Okay, but if you need to talk to someone I'll always be there for you to talk to if you need me. Excuse the cornyness in that sentence."

Eriol blushed a little. "Thanks so much Tomoyo. I appreciate it."

"Sure, anytime."

Syaoran had watched the exchange between the two out of the corner of his eye, but didn't feel a twinge of jealousy, even though his girlfriend was talking to the guy who was his biggest rival, next to Touya, that is.

A guy who, along with being one of his enemies, was one of his best friends. He then turned his attention to Sakura who was just sitting there looking at the sky.

Syaoran: 'Hmm..she sure looks pretty. Even though I'm supposed to be in love with Tomoyo, I always end up thinking about Sakura. Perhaps I should talk to Tomoyo........then again, she might just rip my head off.'

Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch.

Everyone grabbed their stuff and walked to their next class, but Syaoran walked slowly, thinking of all the possible meanings behind what he was feeling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Detention Room after School~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura sank down in her seat and sighed deeply, watching the clock carefully.

Syaoran walked in and nodded to her. "You too, huh?"

She nodded. "Yeah. It's not like I MEAN to fall asleep in math class, it's just so BORING!"

He grinned. "So is chemistry, which is why I wasn't paying attention when she told us what chemicals to mix."

"I think yours was worse."

"Perhaps, but at least I managed to stay awake."

"Well, I figure it was kinda loud, so maybe you couldn't fall asleep. Nah, a little explosion? Surely not."

They laughed together for a minute until Syaoran's face got serious. "Sakura....."

"Yeah?"

"I have to talk to you about something."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~On the Street outside of School~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomoyo sighed as she listened to the sound of her shoes hitting the concrete. "Man, I wish Sakura and Syaoran didn't have detentions, then I would have someone to walk home with."

She glanced over as she heard yells coming from the football field, where the cheerleading team was practicing. "And Chiharu and Naoko have cheerleading practice today, Rika went to a sports club to work out with Miyoko, Yamazaki went to get his car repaired and Eriol..."

She stopped and blinked, realizing that she had no earthly idea where he was. Perhaps scheming the destruction of the world or something like that.....

"Looking for me?"

Tomoyo squeaked and whirled around to find Eriol behind her smiling. "Oh Eriol, it's just you! I thought it was some psycho that snuck up on me or something!"

He laughed heartily. "Well, as you can see, I'm not a psycho."

"According to who?"

"Myself?"

"Syaoran says differently."

"Why am I not surprised?"

"I wasn't really surprised when he said that either. Partially cause it's true....."

Eriol winked. "Oh, you don't know the half of it. Anyway, I'll walk home with you if you want."

"Thanks! I'm so glad to know that I have someone to walk home with when Syaoran ,Sakura, and everybody else are busy. I don't usually see you after school though. Where DO you go?"

"I usually go for a walk around the park or somewhere like that."

"Could I join you sometime?"

"Join me?"

"I understand if you want to do your walks alone, you don't have to say yes or anything!"

"No, no that's not what I meant, I was just surprised you wanted to come with me, but yeah! I'd love to have you come with me sometime!"

Tomoyo grinned. "Say, do you think we could we take a walk through Penguin Park right now?"

"Sure we can."

"Then let's go!" she yelled, before dragging a blushing, sputtering Eriol towards Penguin Park.
