Hello everyone. Sorry for the long update but I kinda lost track of how the story is going. Well this is my late Christmas present to all of you I hope you give me lots of reviews as my late present, hopefully. Well this will probably be the last update for a while because I have mid terms when I go back to school and I'm in a contest and I have to work on my entry. The chapter may be a bit short and fast paced but I wanted to update before I did other things. I tried my best to make this chapter a little more detailed because I noticed the last chapter was a little short on details in the end and it went kinda fast, so I tried to improve this one.

Chapter 2: invited to lunch and meeting new friends

RIIIIIIIIING!!!!! Went the bell to signal that lunch had arrived. Noise was heard everywhere as students headed towards their locker to get their lunches or to their friend's lockers to meet and head towards lunch.

Sakura quickly made her way to her locker, put her books away, got her lunch, and then headed towards Tomoyo's locker.

Sakura met Tomoyo at the water fountain then made a quick stop at the bathroom fixed their hair and adjusted their uniforms then headed towards the yard to eat at their usual spot.

As they were heading towards their usual spot in the shade under the cherry tree, Sakura saw Syaoran sitting alone in one of the nearby trees alone in deep thought.

She decided to show some consideration and invite him to eat with her and Tomoyo.

"Hey Li, want to eat lunch with me and Tomoyo?"

*~*~Syaoran's POV~*~*

Syaoran was in deep thought thinking about family issues and his life too and he was daydreaming about his perfect world when his thinking was interrupted by someone's voice.

"Hey Li, want to eat lunch with me and Tomoyo?"

He slowly looked up to meet emerald eyes that he knew well. He slowly looked back down and thought about this unexpected invitation.

He was feeling a bit lonely but still he liked to think and just go into his dream world instead of facing reality and seeing his perfect world was only in his head and would probably never happen.

Still, if he went to eat with them it would give him some time to bond with both girls and start to earn their trust. He needed to be friends before he could move unto bigger things.

He thought some more before giving his answer.

"Sure" who knew that such a short word would take so much time to think about.

*~*~End of Syaoran's POV~*~*

Sakura watched as he lifted his head up and looked into hers for a short second before putting his head down and going back into deep thought.

She waited for a few minutes and she thought that Sayoran had declined her offer or that he was ignoring her. She was about to leave because it was getting late and she still needed to eat her lunch and she could tell Tomoyo was getting impatient.

"Sure" came a quick answer from the sitting boy. Sakura was a bit relieved that he had accepted, she wanted to become friends with him and he seemed nice.

Sakura watched as Syaoran got up dusted himself, got his lunch, and followed both girls to a nearby tree.

They sat down, unpacked their lunches, and started to eat.

Soon a silence enveloped them but was disturbed by a cheery yet annoying voice.

"Hey guys did 'ya miss me"

Sakura and Tomoyo both groaned before they both chorused "Hi Eriol."

"So ladies what 'you doing on this lovely day" he then looked behind Sakura to find a boy sitting eating his lunch not seeming to be interested in the conversation.

"Who's this?" "Oh, that's Li Syaoran, an exchange student from China," Tomoyo explained.

"Ohhh, so you decided to replace me, that's crude" "What are you talking about?" Sakura asked confused.

"Don't worry about him he's crazy" Tomoyo said quickly

"You wouldn't have said that yesterday when you were in my arms." Eriol said sounding hurt.

"Ewww, you were with Eriol yesterday!" screamed Sakura

"NO! He's just hallucinating, he's crazy, he just wants to try and get with me because he knows he can't get any on his own so he's going after his friends."

"Ewww, Eriol you're sick, how could you go after your own best friends especially Tomoyo."

"Excuse me, but I don't think you would have been a better choice, I think he made a great choice picking me!"

"OOOO, so you two are together!"

Tomoyo went red and looked away while Eriol just grinned and liked how Sakura had tricked Tomoyo into talking.

Through the whole thing Syaoran was watching with great interest. He didn't know who the boy that was there was all he knew was that his name was Eriol and that he's with Daidouji.

"Ahem" Syaoran cleared his throat wanting to be noticed.

"Oh, sorry Li we kind of got caught up in our own little world," Sakura excused herself and her friends.

"Oh yes Li, I don't think I introduced myself properly before,"

"I'm Hiiragizawa Eriol and I'm a close friend of Sakura and Tomoyo,"

"Well he's more to Tomoyo now" Sakura added

"Sakura" Tomoyo added in a warning tone.

Syaoran didn't want another little fiasco to start so he decided to say something.

"So, since when do you and Daidouji know each other, Kinomoto?

Sakura was about to say something back to Tomoyo but as she opened her mouth she was interrupted by Syaoran asking something.

"Huh, oh, we've known each other for practically our whole lives. Our moms are cousins so we are second cousins, so we've known each other for a long time."

"Oh," he finished taking a bite out of his sandwich because he didn't know what else to say.

"So, Li, why did you move her from China?" asked Eriol wanting to know more of the boy in front of him.

"The company my mom works for moved to Japan and she had just got a promotion and she didn't want to let that opportunity pass, so she moved here with me and my sisters."

"Oooo, you have sisters how old are they? Do they have boyfriends? Where are they now?" Eriol was asking Syaoran with great interest wanting to know more about his sisters.

"I have four sisters their names are Xiefa, Feimei, Fuutie, and Fanren. They're in their late twenties and Fuutie has a boyfriend, Xiefa is married and Feimei and Fanren are always travelling so they're never home."

A very disappointed Eriol said, "Oh that sucks."

"Hmpf, that sucks but it doesn't suck when there's something wrong with me" as she finished saying this Tomoyo got up and left.

"Wait, I didn't mean it!" and with this said Eriol got up and ran after Tomoyo leaving Sakura and Syaoran alone.

"Uh Oh, I hope they don't break up or something,"

"Don't worry, Tomoyo gets jealous but I don't think that little comment would hurt their relationship so much, besides she was probably faking it to get some alone time with Eriol, I've known her for a long time and I think I know when she's acting, or at least I think."

*~*~With Eriol and Tomoyo~*~*

"Wait Tomoyo, don't get so pissed off at such a little comment," Eriol screamed at the running girl in front of him.

He was trying to catch up with her and try to comfort her and make her feel better, that way he wouldn't get in so much trouble with her.

As Tomoyo stopped running she fell on the ground with a loud thud, she was exhausted even if she didn't run much she wasn't such an athletic person and couldn't run such long distances without getting tired fast.

"I think you're beautiful and no one will take your place any time soon," Eriol commented as he sat down next to Tomoyo.

"Oh cut it out, only say those things if you really mean them, now shhh, be quiet" Tomoyo shushed him.

"Oh so you're not mad at me?" "No, that was just an act"

"Oh, why?" asked a very confused Eriol, "Are you really that hard headed?" "Didn't you see how Li was looking at Sakura? I think he likes her or at least is starting to like her."

"Oh ok, so you decided to leave them alone to have some time alone"

NO, I would never do that, all the good stuff happens when you're not there, so I decided to see what happens if I leave them alone"

Tomoyo then pointed to a tree a few yards away where Sakura and Syaoran were sitting eating their lunch and talking.

"WHAT!? You made me run all around the school yard just to sit two trees away from them, you could have just told them to act like we were invisible and continue on with their own conversation!"

"Shut up! You're going to get us noticed"

Eriol just slumped back against the tree and looked around the school yard at the teens as Tomoyo continued to spy on Sakura and Syaoran.

*~*~Back to Sakura and Syaoran~*~*

"I have a sibling too" Sakura said trying to make the uneasy atmosphere around her and Syaoran disappear.

"A brother or sister?" Syaoran asked thankful the uneasy quietness had been disturbed

"A brother and a very annoying one at that"

"This morning he made me fall down the stairs when I tripped on his stupid book and all he said was 'oh thanks kaijuu you found my social studies book, how stupid is he" Sakura said mocking her brother

Syaoran couldn't resist the urge to let out a slight chuckle at the face Sakura made.

Sakura lifted her eyes and looked at Syaoran and smiled at him, she was about to open her mouth to say something when the bell to end lunch rang.

"Well I better get going, I have to stop at the library to drop off some books I'll see you later Li."

With this said Sakura got up gave him a smile before walking towards the school taking one last glance at him.

'What were you thinking chuckling like that, she probably thinks you like her now, wait but that's what I wanted to do, ok well I guess the plan is kind of working' after sitting a few minutes thinking Syaoran got up and walked towards the school.

*~*~With Eriol and Tomoyo~*~*

Eriol was practically going to sleep when a squeal woke him up. "Huh, what's going on!? What's wrong!?" he asked worried that something had happened while he was trying to sleep.

"Ooooo, Li just chuckled at something that Sakura said" Eriol just sweat dropped "Is that why you're so excited, because of a chuckle, that's why you woke me up!?"

"Ugh, you wouldn't understand." she was about say something else when the bell rang.

Eriol didn't want to hear Tomoyo argue anymore so he decided to interrupt before she could continue.

"Oh my dear golly gee, look at the time I guess we have to go back in, come on love we don't want to be late for class" Eriol said all this sounding like he was reading it from a script.

He then grabbed Tomoyo's hand and dragged her in the school, all the while Tomoyo had a mischievous glint in her eye.

*~*~* Ooooo I wonder what Tomoyo is up to well hopefully we'll find out in the next chapter. I tried my best with this chapter, it's longer than the last so that's a plus and we have a new character Eriol he'll have a big part later on in the story. I did mention Syaoran's sisters but I don't know if they'll make an appearance in the story. Well like I said before this will be the last update for a while because I have mid-terms and I have to work on my entry for this contest, I will try to update soon, so remember to check back soon. Well I can't say Merry Christmas anymore since it passed so I'll say have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
