Hiya! Sorry I haven't updated much but I have been really busy. Here's the new chapter. Have fun reading!

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

Syaoran sat in his usual seat in the classroom. What surprised Syaoran was that Eriol wasn't sitting next to him today. He was next to Tomoyo and Syaoran supposed he should be grateful otherwise Tomoyo would be sitting here. As you all know Syaoran hates Tomoyo.

Syaoran was knocked out of his thoughts of '10 ways to kill Tomoyo before I die' when the sensei walked in.

"Good morning class." A muffled 'good morning sensei' worked its way around the class. "Good enough." Sighed the sensei. "As you all know we have a new student today and I want you all to treat her with respect and befriend her. All of you okay?"

"Yes sensei."

"Good. You may come in now." Syaoran heard the door open and close. Then he heard light footsteps make their way to the front of the class. Syaoran grumbled slightly. He wasn't going to befriend her! Was the sensei joking? She wouldn't even want to be friends with him, especially if she was being guided around by Tomoyo.

Syaoran sighed and listened to the class talk. They all seemed to have a mutual agreement about how pretty she was. And by the look on Tomoyo's face she was very pretty. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement and Syaoran knew that this new girl was going to be Tomoyo's play doll. Syaoran then caught Eriol's eyes. Eriol was looking straight at him with anger clearly written in his eyes. Syaoran just shrugged and turned away, hoping not to get hell off Eriol later for not making an effort.

"Excuse me. Can I sit here please?" Said a quiet voice from above Syaoran's head. Syaoran looked over to Eriol and saw his satisfied smile and Tomoyo's appalled face. He then looked around the class and saw their identical confused looks. Then he looked up at the girl and his breath caught.

She was perfect. Her eyes were the brightest green he had ever seen. Her hair shined a gold colour in the sun and her pale skin was contrasting her pale blush which was slowly growing darker as Syaoran continued to scrutinize her.

"Oh…sorry. Yes you can." The girl smiled slightly and sat down.

"Thank you." she whispered. "I'm Sakura by the way." Syaoran couldn't help but smile back. But when he caught Eriol's smile he frowned.

"Like I care." He barked out and Sakura's smile faltered. Syaoran felt slightly guilty. "Syaoran." He said gruffly and Sakura's smile came back, but not as bright as before.

As the lesson continued Syaoran became more aware of how close he and Sakura's arms were. They were almost touching and he could hardly bear it. Why? He did not know. I mean it sounds stupid doesn't it? He met her like 50 minutes ago but here he was and here she was doing this to him. Life was so unfair!

"Uh Syaoran?" Syaoran turned to the side of him and saw Sakura looking at him in a curious way. He lifted an eyebrow and she continued. "I'm kinda hopeless at maths and I noticed you were being kind of idle and so I assumed you were finished so I was wondering if you could help me and…yea."

Syaoran laughed at her rambling but quickly stopped himself. He looked around to see if anybody had noticed. They had and their name was Eriol. Syaoran stuck his middle finger up at him and Eriol just continued to smile. A laugh from beside him caused him to jump and turn.

"I take it you don't like him." Sakura asked softly.

Syaoran smiled slightly. "He's my only friend" He whispered softly, turning back to look at Eriol working hard.

"Oh." Sakura said gently. "Well you've got another one." She smiled at him and Syaoran smiled back half-heartedly.

"Not after you talk to Tomoyo." He whispered softly so she couldn't hear him. He turned to face her again. "You wanted help?" Sakura nodded and he got on with helping Sakura with her math which was appalling.

Sakura waved goodbye to Syaoran as she was escorted away by a girl called Tomoyo. She frowned when Syaoran just stared at her and didn't wave back. She smiled weakly and soon he was out of view.

Sakura then turned to the girl next to her. The girl smiled at her and took her to a table outside to sit down.

"Hi. My name is Tomoyo and I will be showing you around our wonderful school." Sakura noted a bit of sarcasm at the end and she laughed. The girl smiled widely but then a serious look came across her face. "I see that you have met Syaoran." Sakura nodded and Tomoyo sighed. "A word of warning for you. Stay away from him." Sakura frowned and looked at Tomoyo.

"Why?"

"Because he is a freak. If you are seen with him then you will be a freak too. Do you want to be a freak?" Sakura shook her head frantically. "Then stay away from him."

Sakura looked over to where Syaoran had appeared from behind the doors. "But I like him."

An evil smirk came across Tomoyo's face. "Don't say that out loud. People might here you." Sakura sighed and turned away from Syaoran. It wasn't fair that she couldn't be friends with him. "Tell you what. Maybe you can get close to him."

Sakura's head shot up. "How?"

Tomoyo laughed. "Eager huh? Well, I can tell everyone that it's a bet."

Sakura crumpled her brow in confusion. "Bet?"

"Yeah. A bet to get Syaoran to love you then no one will question the time you spend together and you can get close to him. No one will let spill that it's a bet and Syaoran will never know."

"I don't know-"

"Come on! It's harmless!"

Sakura looked at Tomoyo for a long time before she nodded her head in reluctant acceptance. Tomoyo almost squealed with excitement. "I'll go and tell everybody and you get close to lover boy."

Sakura winced at what she said but walked to where Syaoran was sitting. She noticed that he was sitting alone. Why would he sit alone? He must have more than one friend.

"Hiya." She said cheerfully. She got a grunt in reply. "May I sit next to you?" Another grunt. "I'll take that as a yes then." Again, a grunt. "God can you talk!?" She yelled in frustration and she swore she heard a chuckle.

She sat down next to him with a determined face on. She was going to get him to be her friend. If it took her all year she was going to be his friend.

"Hi." She jumped and looked over at Syaoran who had collapsed with laughter and was now snorting in his drink.

"I hope you choke!" She said, trying and failing to hide the smile on her face.

"Sorry." Said Syaoran trying to recompose himself. "So what are you doing here?"

"What?"

"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" Syaoran was slightly shocked at the disappointment on Sakura's face.

"Well I wanted your company but if you want me to leave then I will." And with that said Sakura got up and left the table. She got as far as one step until Syaoran's hand clasped softly around her wrist. Tingles flew up her arm and she closed her eyes, cherishing the moment.

"Please stay." She heard his voice whisper and it was somewhat husky causing her to shiver. She sighed softly and sat back down next to him. A smile graced Syaoran's face and stayed put as they talked animatedly throughout the whole of lunch. When the bell went they both jumped in shock. Sakura laughed slightly.

"Well we must have talked for ages." Syaoran smiled and Sakura felt a little tug at her heart, but not because he looked cute. Although that was the main reason. But because she felt guilty. There was a rumour going around about her tricking Syaoran to fall in love with her. And what if Syaoran found out. He wouldn't though. Tomoyo said he wouldn't.

With that reassuring thought in her head she smiled back. "I have to get to class. See you around?" Syaoran nodded slightly and Sakura smiled even more. "Great. Bye!" She waved to him and ran to her registration room. Then she ran back to Syaoran. Syaoran looked up at her, slightly confused. "We're in the same reg class. Wanna walk with me?" A slight blush had made its way to Sakura's face and Syaoran smiled. He nodded and Sakura waited for him before they began their slow but talkative walk to class.

After school Syaoran had a huge smile on his face. It soon disappeared when a certain blue haired boy was found waiting for him at the gate.

"Why hello. Your cheerful today."

"Fuck off!"

"Yes. More than usual."

"Oh shut up."

"Would it have anything to do with a certain Sakura?" A blush made its way up Syaoran's face and Eriol smirked. "Well, well, well. What have we here. Syaoran Li blushing!" Eriol laughed hard as Syaoran's blush grew.

"Stop laughing!" Syaoran screamed.

"Stop blushing then." Chocked out Eriol.

"So what? Sakura talked to me! Like I care."

"You know you do." Poked Eriol. But this was as far as it got for Syaoran.

"Fuck off!" He screamed before storming away from Eriol.

"You'll have to apologize tomorrow!" Came a distant yell. Syaoran knew Eriol was right but he would stay mad at him for today.

"FUCK OFF!" Syaoran heard Eriol's faint laughter and Syaoran's last thought was to curse Eriol to hell before he started to think of what he and Sakura would do tomorrow.
