Chapter 1

Meeting with the Ice Queen.

Sakura sat in her fourth period class, staring intently at the clock that hung on the wall just above the teacher's head.

Come on...just three more minutes then I can get out of this hellhole. Can't time go any faster?

She considered using the time card, so that lunchtime would arrive and she could go outside instead of sitting here listening to teachers drone pointlessly on and on about...whatever it is they were trying to teach.

Bring! Bring! Bring!

Finally, the bell that signalled the end of class and the beginning of lunch rang loudly disturbing the other students who were either scribbling down notes or falling steadily asleep.

The tall green-eyed girl sighed with relief and walked quickly out of the classroom, anxious to get outside.

When she reached the corridor a boy walking backwards while gazing up at the ceiling, slammed into her, nearly knocking her down.

"Oh man...that's the second time I've done that today, I'm really sorry. Are you ok?" He asked reaching out a hand to steady her.

People walking down the corridor stopped and stared. Groups that were laughing and joking became silent. Some girls gasped and others dropped their books and bags to the floor in shock.

Sakura remained silent but raised an eyebrow and looked at his hand as if it were a piece of dirt on the ground. He slowly moved his hand back to his side.

"I said, are you ok?" He asked again looking slightly confused as to why she hadn't answered him the first time.

She glared up at the boy and asked, "Do you have some kind of problem that stops you from looking where you going?"

"Um...no" He answered slowly.

"In that case do it next time, idiot."

She gave him one last glare, stepped neatly around him and carried on walking.

The boy's chocolate brown eyes watched the retreating back of the extremely rude girl.

"Hey, what's your problem?" He shouted after her.

One student standing to the right of the unknown boy shook his head in amazement and muttered to his friends "Is this guy crazy?"

Sakura stopped dead in her tracks. Why is this stupid boy bothering me?

She strode back down the corridor and stood right in front of him glowering.

"Are you just really stupid or do you have some kind of death wish?"

"Look, I'm new here but that doesn't mean you have to be so rude."

The annoyed girl thought for a moment.

"Hmm...you must be new...I would have remembered such an ugly face."

"You..."

She interrupted him, saying "I'll let you off this time seeing as you're new but don't ever get in my way again."

He was now really annoyed with this girl. He had apologised and here she was insulting him.

Again she turned around and began striding away confidently, before he had the chance to say anything.

He stared disbelievingly at her retreating back for the second time.

People around him began whispering frantically and throwing him a whole assortment of looks. He heard people saying things like "Did you see the way the Ice Queen looked at him?" and "He actually argued with the Ice Queen."

Sakura smirked to herself as she finally stepped outside and began heading to her favourite spot under a cherry blossom tree.

That'll teach them. She thought.

Syaoran's POV

Who the hell does that girl think she is? But if people around here call her the "Ice Queen" I guess she's that rude to everyone. She has a serious attitude problem. I was making an effort to be nice and she called me UGLY!! I'm not ugly. ...Am I? No...of course I'm not ugly. Stupid girl. This is what I get for coming to this dumb place. I knew I should have stayed in Hong Kong but if I'm gonna be going to school here, I guess I could make it fun for myself... I could start by getting people round here to lighten up a little, especially the "Ice Queen". He gave a little laugh and carried on checking out Tomoeda High, his new school.
