She was labeled Outcast. Kicked out of her school, her home, her country, she flees to the only place where peace will allow her to follow, the states. Three years later, she's coming back for more. Now it's her turn to label them. She is also back for sweet bitter revenge. Watch as she collides with Syaoran Li, the only person who looked passed her flab, and into her heart he went.

Chapter One – Living like a loser

"Mrs. Kaleen, is she going to be alright?" An unfamiliar voice sounded through my ears. I...felt so bad...tired, and groggy.

"I'm not sure of the poor child. Good thing my daughter Kit and you told me!" Miss...Kaleen?! Katherine's mother, the school nurse. I opened my eyes. Light seared my vision. I blinked...nothing...I blinked again and was surprised. The cutest guy stared back at me. His amber eyes stared directly into me. He has messy chestnut hair that was all over the place, but he was cute!

"Hey, you ok...?" He asked quietly, then looked behind him and yelled. "Mrs. Kaleen, she's awake!" I stared at him with wide eyes. Who was he? Then he caught my stare and glanced away nervously. Oh yeah...who would look at an overweight ugly girl like me?

"W-what happened...?" I tested my voice out with the most typical question a person asks after they blacked out. Hell, I knew what happened, where I am, what I'm doing here. But hey, it's the unwritten rule. He almost glared at me.

"Save your energy woman!" He exclaimed, pushing me back onto the bed as I tried to get up. I glared at him.

"Make me! Anyway...how did I get here?" I questioned again, and this time, he better answer me!

"Oh...I'm new here so Kit Kaleen was kind and was giving me a tour until we spotted you. Kit was worried so I told her to relax, we carried you here but Kit is a but...clumsy so we dropped you once." His tone was soft and kind but I overlooked it. He probably acts nice to me because he pities me! I'm so fat and ugly...yes, I am very self-conscious. Gosh if you looked at me- what the hell? He's friends with Katherine Kaleen! Katherine dropped me...no wonder I have a horrible headache!

"Oh Sakura, you're awake..." Mrs. Kaleen didn't really sound concerned. I didn't expect her to though. Like daughter like mother! I can't believe Mrs. Kaleen hates me because I'm fat. Isn't that like...weightism?! I don't care if that's not a word, it should be one!

"Yes...I'm fine. Thank you Mrs. Kaleen, thank you..." I paused, waiting for the cute dude to help me out but he merely stared at me, with his creepy emotionless thing in his eyes! After 10 seconds I decided I should just leave. I began making my way toward the door, without a second glance back I walked out.

"Syaoran Li." I spun around and stared at the guy. I quirked a brow in confusion. It's my little thing. Dana and the in-crowd call it gay, my mother calls it cute.

"Excuse me?" I waited for him to reply.

"My name is Syaoran Li." He said, looking away, probably bored. I nodded slowly, processing the information. Syaoran Li...sounds like...Jet Li.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sakura Kinomoto." And with that, I was off to home. I feared mother was home before I was. Then I couldn't surprise her with a cake!

The door clicked at I turned my key to the left. I withdrew the key and ran in the house, slamming the door. Oh man, I hope mother isn't home yet! I ran into the middle of the house.

"Mother?" I called out, hoping she wasn't home. I kept on calling for 5 minutes. Eventually, I shrugged it all off and began baking a cake. 2 hours later, a beautiful chocolate cake was in front of me. Nadeshiko was written in purple frosting. I drew a picture of a stick guy on the cake too. I think it's kind of cute! I smiled for the first in a long time. With the cake firmly in my hands, I ran out stairs to mother's room. The plan is, I'll place the cake on her nightstand and when she gets home, I'll lead her to her room and we'll watch a movie together! The door opened, I walked in and...my mom was actually home. She was in her bed, fast asleep.

"Mother...?" I gently shook her. I wanted to say happy birthday! But my mother never moved.

"Mother...Mother? MOTHER!" My green eyes widened. Why wasn't my mother moving?! I knew she was a heavy sleeper but...oh god...I cupped my mouth. Maybe my mother was in deep sleep! Oh god...I ran to the phone and called 911.

The police came. My mother was rushed to the hospital. She was aided. A few hours later, I learned what happened...I knew what her condition was...she was stressed with work. She stopped eating completely. That explained why she was always rushing and pale...I just...can't feel anything. I refuse to cry though. Mother wouldn't want me to be crying. A woman's tear is worth a whole lot more than a man's tear, mother used to say. I wanted to cry though...

Today, I came to school dressed all in black. I mourned for my mother...it was her birthday and...she passed away. She was the only family I had. My father, Fujitaka Kinomoto died on a ship during a storm. My mother was disowned by her parents when she married my father. So I sort of do have relatives...distant ones. My mother had a twin sister. I vaguely remember her name but...I think I recall...Sayuri. My whole family's females have been named after flowers. Sakura means cherry blossom. Sayuri means little lily. And Nadeshiko is a beautiful purple flower.

"Kinomoto..." I froze. If I'm correct, which I am, that's the voice of Ricky Wu...I gave him a side glance and sighed. The nicest person of the in-crowd is Katherine...the meanest is probably Jamie and his girlfriend, Veronica. Ricky is in the middle.

"Listen...I'm not in the mood-"I was cut off short when Rickey slammed me into a locker. He was gentler than Dana but it still hurt.

"I know what happened to your mother, Sakura. Do you expect us to be sympathetic to you?" Ricky questioned, a wicked smirk was placed on his face when my eyes went wide.

"No...I don't expect you to. But...why do you bother me?! If I'm the most pointless flab of fat in the world, why focus on me?!" I started yelling. I had enough of this! I had enough of the in-crowd, enough of them labeling every one and each of us. Who gave them the right to do that? Ricky glared at me and knocked the books out of my hand.

"We make your life hell, period. Once we get rid of you, our school will be perfect." He replied venomously. His tone was laced with ice.

"I'm tired of this! You can't pick on me forever-"

"Just watch us." A smug voice cut in. I glanced behind Ricky and frowned. It was Dana. She wrapped her arms around Ricky and smiled sweetly.

"I heard what happened to your mother, Sakura. I'm DEARLY sorry. I feel at fault since daddy was a slave driver to your mother. He was always whipping her" Dana said, sounding dangerously sweet. I knew something was up...maybe she'd break my left arm this time. 2 years ago, she broke my right arm on purpose and blamed my clumsiness. Even my own mother believed her...

"Sakura, look at me when I'm talking to you." Dana hissed, clearly angered. She threw a punch at me, hitting me in the stomach. I gasped in pain and was knocked over when Ricky tripped me. I fell face down and groaned. Suddenly, my eye sight was unclear and blurry.

"Whoops, I think I accidentally stole Sakura's glasses!" That was the voice of Veronica...the queen of bitches. She's Dana's little sister, yet even more evil than Dana. Everyone began laughing mockingly. I'm guessing Veronica placed the glasses on herself and began mocking me shamelessly...

"Hii! My name is...doh...uh...um...Sakura...K-Kinomoto...I h-have st-stuttering p-problems!" Veronica drawled out drunkenly. At this point...I felt like going in tears but I-I can't! Then that's when I heard a crack. I looked up at saw 4 blurry figures, not 3.

"Sakura..." That is the voice...the voice of...Syaoran Li?! Oh no...he's picking on me?

"Sorry, it seems I stepped on your glasses." He replied, trying to sound innocent. I stared at the blurry figures, horrified. With all my strength, I cried out and ran through them, and ran blindly into the girl's bathroom. I began sobbing uncontrollably. I'm living life as a loser! I'll never fit in. I have no family, no friends, and no life! I-I can't believe Syaoran Li...he joined them...now there is 8 members of the in-crowd...

"Sakura...?" It was Syaoran's voice.

"Go away..." I croaked, hiding my head in my arms.

"Sakura I'm sorry-"

"Just-don't! I don't want to hear it. Please...leave me alone! I'm fine." I cried out, trying to stop sobbing.

"You sure as hell don't look fine! Let me let you clean up! I swear, I didn't break your glasses on purpose. I'm so sorry-"

"Why do you care?" I asked, my icy exterior growing. I'm back to step one, thinking he pities me. He pities a loser so he's helping me!

"I-I just do, ok?" His soft voice came. He began wiping my tears with tissue.

"Y-You're not supposed to even be here! There's a reason why male and female comfort rooms are separated..." I whispered hoarsely. Couldn't he see I wanted to be alone...?

"Heh, that's why it's fun, I'm not supposed to be here." He joked, trying pathetically to break the ice. Instead, he helped me form a new layer of glacier.

"Get away from here! I'm a fat, ugly, stupid, nerdy girl that everyone picks on! I'm a loner, a loser. I live life like a loser. Happy? Now go back to Katherine and the in-crowd!" I cried out. It hurt me...it hurts enough that I'm ugly and fat, but it hurts even more letting him see me cry like a baby.

"Shut up for one moment!" He snapped, I backed up in surprise and stopped crying. Why is he angry with me?! He's the one who broke my glasses! I watched quietly yet angrily as he rubbed his temples.

"Get over yourself. You're overweight and ugly, so? I don't see the point. Stop crying; stop giving them the satisfaction of crying and suffering. They feed off the pain you have. The more pain you have the more evil they get." By the time he stopped preaching me, all my tears were gone. Wow...if I ever want a speech, I'll run to Syaoran Li...

"Ok...I'm over it." I said as I exhaled. It's kind of mind blowing though...he knows I'm fat and he said I'm ugly. And he's not making fun of me...not in my view. He's actually...helping me...incredible.

"Sakura Kinomoto, please hop to the office immediately. I repeat, Sakura Kinomoto. Thank you."

Syaoran's amber eyes stared blankly at the speaker. I stared down at the floor, should I say bye to him? Or...should I just walk out...I want to say bye but I don't want to seem like a nerd that like-

"You should be going now...later Sakura." Syaoran gave me a half smile and began climbing out the window. Wait...

"What are you doing?!" I stared at him with big green eyes. He smiled a full one this time...wow. He looks even more cute with a smile...

"Well you don't expect me to be seen walking out of a girl's bathroom, right? If someone sees me...they'll be all 'OH MY GOD! SYAORAN LI IS A PERVERT!' and crap...so yeah...later!" With that, he swiftly jumped out the window; I was gawking at where he stood. That's a strange boy...a strange boy that attracts me...
