Hiya. This story is going to be a good one. Or at least I hope it is. They are all 16 in this story. I have no idea how a Japanese school works or the level of discipline involved. I do not know any Japanese or Chinese names apart from the ones in card captor sakura. So please forgive me if you have no idea how to pronounce any of the names or how the school works in my story. Also I am starting school in less than a weeks time. So I will be busy as it is my GCSE year. So please bear with me.

Thank you. I'll get on with the story now.

Disclaimer: I do not own card captor sakura nor do I own CLAMP

There were whispers going around the class. He hated whispers. They were horrible things and they could cause a weak person to break down. Yet all the people who did the whispering didn't realise this. But, luckily, today the whispers weren't about him. They were about a new student. A student he wasn't the least bit interested in.

"Hey Syaoran!" Syaoran turned around and groaned. He went back to eating his food, trying to ignore the person who was calling him. "Syaoran!" They shouted yet again. And Syaoran yet again ignored them. "I have a funny feeling that you were trying to ignore me." Syaoran jumped as Eriol Hiiragizawa sat down next to him.

"Really? What would give you that idea?"

"You know. Being sarcastic doesn't suit you." Syaoran simply grunted and took a bite out of his sandwich. "So…you heard the news yet?" Eriol asked him.

"Yes I have Eriol, but please don't let that stop you from telling me." Eriol smiled at Syaoran. Syaoran just glared back.

"I won't. Well…there's this new student. She's coming tomorrow. Everybody's excited about it because apparently she's really beautiful and very popular. In her last school anyway."

"Great. That's just what we need. Another lemming to follow the popularity chain." Eriol whacked Syaoran on the head. "What the fuck was that for!?" Syaoran yelled.

"You didn't let me finish." He whined. "Anyway…she's got good grades." Syaoran watched Eriol for a while and Eriol watched back. They stayed like this for a few more seconds.

"What? That's it? You hit me on the head to tell me that she has good grades!"

"Yep."

"Why you son of a bi-"

"Whatcha doin'?" Syaoran turned to see Tomoyo Daidouji looking at them curiously.

"Hiya Tomoyo." Smiled Eriol. Tomoyo smiled back and sat next to him. She leaned in and kissed him softly. Pulling away slowly so that she lingered.

"Don't make me throw up." Said Syaoran.

"Oh shut up. Get yourself a girlfriend." Tomoyo shot back.

"What about the new girl?" Questioned Eriol slowly.

"No way. She's too popular for Syaoran." Syaoran looked down. He didn't like Tomoyo one bit. She was awful to him and he had no idea as to what he did to her. Let alone why Eriol dated her.

"Thanks." Syaoran whispered softly. Eriol looked at him and sighed.

"Tomoyo, can you please leave us for a minute." Tomoyo nodded, kissed him goodbye and left. "Syaoran?"

"Mmm?" Eriol was silent for a while so Syaoran looked up. He saw the sadness in Eriol's eyes. "You don't have to act like you care." Syaoran spat.

"I do care Syaoran. No matter what you may think I care for you." Syaoran snorted and Eriol sighed.

"I know the only reason you hang around me is because my mum forces you too." Eriol's eyes took on a look of pain.

"You know that's not true." He said softly. "I hang around with you because I want to."

"Eriol look around you! No one sits near me! No one hangs around me! I am a reject! Everyone thinks I am! Even your girlfriend thinks I am. Just because I come from a rich family I'm hated. But you? No, you aren't hated. Your loved. By everyone!" Syaoran got up and walked away from Eriol, out of the dining room.

Eriol sighed. He could feel Syaoran's pain and it hurt him deeply. He had no idea what made everyone hate Syaoran so much but he hated people for doing that. He had to get the new girl to like him. If they turned out to be just friends then it would be a start for Syaoran.

Syaoran sat under a tree silently waiting for the bell to go. He was still shook up about the argument he had had with Eriol. Thy hardly ever had arguments. Syaoran had come to accept the fact that Eriol only hanged around him because of their relation but he was grateful for the company.

But that bitch Tomoyo had warped Eriol's mind. And now Eriol spent more time with her than he did with him. Causing Syaoran to wallow in self pity. Causing him to get angry at himself and take it out on Eriol.

Shit! He slammed his fist against the tree trunk. He had to go apologize to Eriol now. He always had to because it was always him getting angry at Eriol. Never the other way around. For once he wished Eriol would get mad at him but he never did. He just smiled. Smiled for God sake!

The bell rang through the fields faintly, the noise carried on the air. Syaoran sighed and got up slowly. At least he only had two hours left to endure of school. Then it was back home for some takeaway pizza and a good movie. A really good movie. With explosions. And guns. Maybe a mafia movie. Yeah that sounded good.

When Syaoran stepped into the class, only students were there so he took his seat quietly and waited for sensei to arrive. Then Eriol arrived at his side and sat down. Syaoran looked at him, ready to apologize, but Eriol had that smile on his face and Syaoran's apology died on his tongue.

"What the hell are you doing sitting next to me Hiiragizawa?" Syaoran hissed.

"That doesn't sound like an apology." Eriol mused.

"That's because it isn't one dick brain."

"Dick brain? That's a new one I believe."

"Yeah I believe it is. And I'm not the one who should be apologizing."

"Aren't you? Oh yes. Tomoyo. Well may I apologize on her behalf?"

"You always do." Said Syaoran quietly. Eriol sighed. "Look Eriol. I'm sorry okay? Really sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you." Eriol's smile widened and he nodded gently.

"Your apology is accepted. Now lets get ready because sensei is just around the corner."

And as if on cue sensei rounded the corner and entered the classroom.

"Right. Miss Daidouji. You will be showing the new girl around. Okay?"

"Yes sensei." She replied enthusiastically.

"Good. Now that that is out of the way, go to page forty nine of your text books and translate the Japanese phrases into English."

Eriol of course had no problem. Syaoran, however, was trying really hard but getting a few words wrong, as pointed out by a very annoying Eriol.

When the bell went signalling end of this class everyone sighed in relief and made their way slowly out of the door. Maths next. Syaoran had no problem with maths. In fact, he found it quite enjoyable. But he wouldn't tell anyone that. And all too soon maths was over and Syaoran was walking out of the school to start heading home. He made it as far as the gate when a voice stopped him.

"Syaoran!" It yelled.

"Go away!" He yelled back.

"No!" Was the reply he got. Syaoran swivelled around to come face to face with none other than Eriol. "Hi!" He said cheerfully, smiling of course.

"Hi." Syaoran grunted.

"How was your day?" He asked casually and Syaoran watched Eriol's face carefully, wondering what he was up to.

"What's up?"

"What do you mean what's up?" replied Eriol, smile still in place.

"You would never ask me how my day was let alone follow me home. So I ask again. What's up?" Eriol's smile faltered a bit. "Aha!" Syaoran exclaimed, pointing his finger in Eriol's face.

"Promise me that you will make an effort with this girl." Syaoran looked slightly confused.

"What girl?"

"The new one. Promise me that if she talks to you, you will talk back."

"Why?"

"Promise me Syaoran." Eriol looked desperate. He was pleading and that didn't suit Eriol at all. Syaoran felt a bit disconcerted.

"Why?"

"Promise me Syaoran." He nearly yelled. Syaoran raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded slowly. "Good. Now I will be on my way." Said Eriol cheerfully, and he went his own way causing Syaoran to be very confused.

Eriol smiled as he made his way to Tomoyo.

"What did you want to ask Syaoran?" She questioned.

"Oh nothing. Don't worry about it."

"Okay." She said, slightly uneasy.

"Tomorrow should be fun." Eriol whispered to himself as he rubbed his hands together.

"Tomorrow?" Tomoyo asked curiously.

"Yes. Tomorrow shall be a very entertaining day." And that trademark smile made it's way to Eriol's face once again.

When Syaoran got home he was a little freaked. Eriol had just shouted at him. Shouted! He couldn't wait to rub it in tomorrow. Then he would make Eriol apologize. That would be a site.

Syaoran couldn't be bothered to order a pizza or rent his favourite mafia movie. So instead he made his way to the kitchen to see what he could find.

He reached for the freezer and got out a tub of ice-cream. Whoever said only girls eat ice-cream from tubs while watching their favourite movie was lying.

He got a spoon and went into the living room. He set up his DVD player and put in Die Hard. That was a good movie. As he was watching his mind drifted off to what the new girl would be like.

This is it. Hope you like it. I am sorry if the Eriol and Syaoran relationship looked a bit gay. I apologize for this IS a Syaoran and Sakura fic. They just have a special relationship. I hope you enjoy and I am not a homophobic in case you were thinking that. Review! I will love you for it. Ciao!
