Author's notes: Hey Guys!!! Thanks for all the reviews you gave me. It was very sweet of you! I hope you guys won't stop from reviewing... cause the moment you've been waiting for is finally here!
Miss Dorkie Glasses and Mister Snob, Chapter 5 is finally up! Hope ya all enjoy!
Sakura who seems to be in a dark place, opened her eyes, revealing two bright emerald orbs. She looked around her and said with a cofusion on her face.
"Where am I? Why am I here?" Sakura cried out, hoping to get answers. But there was no reply, except her voice echoing the whole place, plunging deeper and deeper further away. She didn't like this place at all.
It seems lonely and sad. There was nothing she can do to get out of the horrid place. She sat on a corner and curled up like a ball and sobbed. Suddenly, two familiar voices emerged, they were laughing and giggling happily. Sakura searched everywhere to where the voice came from, but there was no sign of anybody. It seems to be really familar to her but she can't recall what it was. "Hello? Is anybody there?" Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the place brightened. She could feel the warm rays of the sun from her skin and she fresh air filled her lungs.
In front of her was a huge Cherry blossoms tree, and Sakura petals where falling everywhere. She once again heard two familiar voices. But, this time, two kids appeared in front of her. They were chasing each other happily.
"I'll get you, just watch, Ryu-chan!" A girl said stopping and waiting to catch for her breath. Sakura couldn't see her face because her back was facing her, but she did noticed that the girl has a short auburn hair, just like hers. A boy, who was probably Ryu, stopped and grinned. "If you catch me! But it seems that you get pretty easily tired. Just face it Ying-fa, you'll never catch me." He said in a mocking tone, while laughing so hard that he almost fell to the ground. The guy has messy jet black hair and blue eyes.
He was the same age as the girl. "Oh yeah! I'll get you mister!" Sakura said finally facing in front of Sakura. Sakura was shocked. "No, It can't be!" She muttered under her breath, as she stared at the girl who can't see her. The girl has bright emerald eyes and charming smile. She recognized them as her own.
"That's me when I was 8 years old!" she said. Little Sakura, also called as Ying fa in chinese, began to run, Ryu's face fell. "Uh-oh! And the chasing continues." He said, starting on a run. Another strong wind blew and Sakura was now standing on the park. She finds Lttle Sakura and Ryu, facing each other under the sunset and a limo parked on the other side of the street, with all Ryu's things in it. Sakura's eyes were red and puffy with tears, while Ryu was wearing a serious expression.
"I'm sorry Sakura, but, I have to return to Hong Kong. Mom phoned me yesterday, and she wants me back home." He said, his eyes told her he too, was in pain about the sudden news. Sakura, her eyes on the ground, looked up. "Are... we going to meet again?" she asked. Ryu smiled and took her hands. He dropped a golden necklace with an emerald stone and three smaller pearls on each side. Sakura draw her breath at the gorgeus thing. "I swear. I will come back here again, when I fix all the things that needs to be fixed." He said.
He bid goodbye one more time to Sakura and hugged her. "Thank you, Ryu-chan! You're the best friend in the whole world." Sakura said, giving Ryu a kiss on his cheeks, making her best friend blush deeply. "Goodbye Sakura" Ryu hopped on the limo and the limo sped off. Sakura, who was on the middle of the streets watched her best friend go... away from her.
Sakura, who was thinking deeply, didn't hear the speeding car's honking. Sakura's heart beat went faster as she saw the speeding truck going to hit her former self. She rushed forward "Sakura! WATCH OUT!!!"
Little Sakura, who seemed to have felt her presence, glanced at her back, seeing the upcoming truck, she tried to dive out of the way but it was too late. "CRASH!"
BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEP *Alarm goes off* Sakura who was sleeping under her covers, jolted awake, grunting.
"Uhh.. what a weird dream. Why would I dream about my childhood? And who was that Ryu boy? And I don't remember putting on the alarm clock." She said reaching out to shut off the beeping device.
She slip on to her glasses and glanced at the alarm
clock and shifted back to bed. "5:30?!" Sakura exclaimed, "Why so early? I still have an hour before school starts... I'm going back to sleep." she muttered, returning under her covers and closed her exhausted eyes shut. She didn't even noticed that Tomoyo was there, enjoying video-taping her.
She lowered her camcorder with a satisfied smile. It was finally time to wake Sakura up. "Wake up Sleepy head!" Tomoyo said giggling and throwing off the blankets, revealing a shocked Sakura. "We have to get you dressed up. I set the alarm clock early so we can prepare for your first day of school as a totally different person to work up on our plans!
I already chose the perfect outfit for this day. I can already imagine what the other's reaction would be when they see you." Tomoyo said looking up with shining eyes. "T..Tomoyo? How long have you been there?" Sakura asked. Her eyes fell upon the camcorder that was hanging on Tomoyo's neck. "And what's with bring along your camcorder?" Sakura asked with a sweat drop on her face. "Have you been video-taping me the whole time?" Sakura asked suspiciously.
"Tomoyo, with her hands clasp together looked at her with puppy dog eyes. "But you were so cute dreaming. I just had to video-tape you!" Sakura sighed. Suddenly, Tomoyo grabbed Sakura and dragged her to the bathroom. "Hey! What's the big idea?" She said struggling for freedom. "Now Hurry up and take a bath!" Tomoyo said, pushing Sakura inside the shower with her PJs still on. She turned on the cool water to the max. "This'll wake you up!." Tomoyo said smirking.
"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A wide awake and totally soaked Sakura, screamed, shaking the whole house and possibly the whole neighborhood.
"Huh?" A boy with chestnut hair said just as he was sipping tea. "Is there anything wrong with the Tea, Master Li?" Wei, Li's personal butler asked. Li lowered the tea cup and shook his head. "It taste fine, Wei. I just thought I heard something." Wei bowed and exited the room, carrying a bunch of tea cups and a tea pot on a tray.
Tomoyo placed Sakura's outfit on the counter and exited the bathroom, smirking. After minutes of waiting, The door finally opened, revealing Sakura wearing the "perfect outfit" Tomoyo chose for her. It was a green tank-top with the words, "Angel cutie" Embroidered on. It also has a matching skirt which fell down just 2 inches above Sakura's knee. The shoes was a black, leathered, high heeled boots which is just below Sakura's knee, and it made Sakura an inch taller.
Tomoyo sqealed with excitement at the sight before her. And once again, Sakura tried to convince her that It's no big deal. "Buut You're so Kawaii!!!" Tomoyo said hugging her best friend tightly. And she did have a point. Sakura looked like a fallen angel from heaven sent down to earth with a mission to fullfill.
"Okay, okay I got the point!" Sakura said, running out of breath. Tomoyo, realizing what she's doing to Sakura, lets go of her and apologized. Sakura brushed her hair quickly and ot downstairs for breakfast. "Good morning Touya!!!" she shouted happily, finding her brother on his usual spot, drinking coffee and face buried behind the newspaper. "Not so loud, Kaijuu!! You're going to wreck this whole house if you keep screamng like that. No wonder you're a kaijuu." Sakura's happy mood was gone and she turned to glare at her brother.
"TOUYA!!!!" she said with flames surrounding her. Touya who was behind the neewspaper, smirked. Sakura noticed her mom's picture on the table and picked it up and hugged it caressly. "Goodmorning mom!!!" she said smiling. 'Do you notice anything different about me, mom? I'm a new cherry blossoms now. Don't worry, I won't change one bit. I just need your strength to help me face that horrible boy who keeps bullying me. The woman on the picture appeared to be smiling.
"Hey Sakura, about yesterday you--" Touya's voice trailed off when he saw what had become of Sakura. "Look different." he said unconsciously. Sakura grinned. Fujitaka came into view, seeing Sakura and her new appearance. "Wow Sakura! You look like your mother. I remember when you were a child you looked exactly like that. Now I wonder how you damaged your visions again? I think you were 8 years old when that accident happened.
But that was then. Anyway, here's your pancakes." he said smiling down to her daughter. "You mean, my visions was once clear when I was young? And what accident was that?" she asked trying to remember back then. "It was that Ryu-kid. He and you were best friend and were unseparatable when he had to leave for hong kong. And the next thing I knew." he said, lowering his gaze. Tomoyo lowered her gaze too.
~Flash Back~
Ryu bid goodbye one more time to Sakura and hugged her. "Thank you, Ryu-chan! You're the best friend in the whole world." Sakura said, giving Ryu a kiss on his cheeks, making her best friend blush deeply. "Goodbye Sakura" Ryu hopped on the limo and the limo sped off. Sakura, who was on the middle of the streets watched her best friend go... away from her.
Sakura, who was thinking deeply, didn't hear the speeding car's honking. Little Sakura glanced at her back, seeing the upcoming truck, she dive out of the way but it was too late. "CRASH!"
The ambulance came and carried the poor and badly hurt Sakura. Touya, who came from School saw his sister being taken away, i a stretcher. "HUh? Sakura!!!!" he said dropping his bag to the side walk. He went into Sakura and held her hands. "Touya... don't worry, I'm fine." she said, trying to suppress a smile, but this hurt her more. "This can't be! What happened to her? What did they do to Sakura?" he asked, grabbing the collar of one of the men.
"Woah, easy there child. This little girl had a hit and run accident, and we're taking her to the ambulance as soon as possible. If you want to come with us, then hop on in." he said. Touya grabbed his bag and hopped on the ambulance and the ambulance sped off, with the siren on.
~At the hospital~
Touya was in the waiting room pacing worriedly, when Fujitaka and Tomoyo arrived.
"Sakura! What happened to her?" Tomoyo asked with a concerned look on her face.
Touya lowered his head. He couldn't bear to say it for it's causing pain in his heart. "Sakura... had a hit and run accident." he said. "Oh Sakura, please be alright." Tomoyo said with tears coming out of her eyes. Fujitaka lowered his head. "My daughter..." he said, hoping she's alright. After hours of waiting, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room.
Touya stood up and went in front of the doctor. "How's my sister? Is she alright? Is she cured?" he asked. His eyes told the doctor he was really worried over her. The doctor smiled and patted Touya's head. "Sakura, isn't it? she's alright now. she was badly injured in her head, but good thing she dived away. The truck only hit her head. If it hit her whole body she could have been killed. Lucky for her, a nearby passer saw this happened and called the ambulance." he said.
"Sakura is doing fine now, she's still resting right now. But..." he said, lowering his gaze. Touya didn't like this at all. "But what?" Tomoyo asked who could no longer wait for suspension. "But, because her head was hit hard, she might have damaged her brain, causing it to shut down temporarily and she might have lost some memory, and nt only that, she also damaged her eye sight.
and she's in a comma right now but she'll awaken for about, three months. When she wakes up, don't try to tire her. This'll put her into a bad shape." he said. "Can we see her?" Tomoyo asked the doctor. "Okay, but don't be loud okay?" Tomoyo ran into the room followed by Touya and Fujitaka. They saw Sakura with bandages on her head. "Oh Sakura..." she said. She sat next to Sakura, who was asleep. "Ryu..." is all she said.
~End of Flashback~
"Ryu... I remembered him!" Tomoyo said. Sakura look like she's in deep thought. "Ryu... I dreamt about that guy today. And the accident, only when the truck hit me, the alarm clock woke me up. "The truth is... I don't remember anything about him at all." Sakura said. Taking a bite from her pancake. Every one is seated on the table, quietly.
~school~
Sakura and Tomoyo are standing under a tree. They were both quiet. "Say Tomoyo, who was Ryu?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo smiled and looked up to the sky. "Ryu... is kind of a version of Li Syaoran, except, he's personality is different. He was kind of stubborn and yet he was a nice guy. He's friendly to other people and toughtful. Sometimes he thinks too proud of himself but he mostly thinks of other people, especially you, Sakura.
At first when we both first met him, I thought he was mean and a jerk all the way, but when he's with you, you slowly changed him. He hardly smiled back then but because of you, he showed his true self. From then on, you two became best friends and he called you Ying-fa. As each of you spend days together, You began to feel different about him more and more. You were in love.
You always talked about him all day long back then. You were madly In love with him. *sigh* but... he had to leave... I don't know where he went, but all I remember is, he went back to Hong Kong. From then on, nobody heard about him." Sakura gazed at the ground. She looked at her wrist and it revealed a gold bracelet with an emerald stone in it and three pearls on each side.
'I had this on since forever. I didn't know why I had this but I kept it with me, thinking it's important, and it was. Everyday, I would dream about him, but I didn't know what thsoe dream meant. Butr now, I do... I dreamt about Ryu, the guy I loved forever.' she thought. Suddenly, loud cheers were heard from the back of the school.
"Go Li!!!" a bunch of girls cheered, "You can take all of them!" Out of curiosity, both of them decided to check out what was the loud commotion about. It seems to lead to the soccer field, where a boy with chest nut was running across the field, kicking the ball toward the goal, with beads of sweat running down his face. It was Li Syaoran, the captain of the soccer club.
At the end of the field where three guys, trying to block his way. Li managed to fool them by doing fakes and turns and he managed to kick the ball. It hurled toward the goal and it made a swoosh sound. All the fans cheered for Li who was being carried by his team mates. "Li! You were awesome!" Eriol said. "Thanks" he said, taking the towel and buried his face on it. His team mates patted his shoulders and grinnined.
"No wonder Li is popular... he's smart, he's got talent, he even got killer looks. Speaking of looks..." Tomoyo said looking at his clothes. "He also got good taste of clothes. I say --- " Tomoyo was going to add more when Sakura interrupted her. "Tomoyo!!! I thought you were on my side!" Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded and blushed. "Right." she said looking away.
"Wow, Li! you surely got yourself some huge crowd in here. Even beautiful Daidouji came." He said looking at Eriol who in turn, looked away. His eyes fell upon a girl who was with Tomoyo. "Say, who's that girl with Daidouji?" he asked. The others followed his gaze and saw Sakura. "Dude! She's hot and pretty! I don't know about you but I'll be the first one to hit on her." a boy said.
While his friends where busy looking at Sakura, Li stole a glance at her. She has a breathtaking emerald eyes, which is so bright that it reflected the sun. She also has the most charming smile he has ever seen from all the girls swarming around him. And her auburn hair, which is a shoulder length is so silky that it flows gently and gracefully on the blowing wind. He couldn't help but stare at her.
He wanted that girl... he wants her more than ever and he'd do anything to get what he wants.
"Hmm.. taken an interest at her?" a voice said. Li jumped with shock and turned to see who it was. He found Eriol, grinning.
"Don't surprise me Like that, Hiriigazawa!" he snapped. Eriol continued on grinning. He adjusted his glasses and said, "I say you're beginning to like her." Syaoran shot a glare at him, whenthe bell rang.
"Humph! Don't count on it!" he said walking away calmly.
Sakura got to her feet when the school bell rang. "Come on Sakura, we have to get to class. OooOh! I can't wait to see what the other's reaction would be." Tomoyo said squealing again. Sakura's heart beat became faster... 'what would the other's reaction would be?' she thought, asking herself. Once she stepped into the hallway, she could already feel those stares people had been doing.
She was glancing sideways when she crashed into somebody, and her books scattering (Well... She only carried two of them so people did not think she's a book worm.) "Oh I'm sorry. here miss, let me help you with that." He said. Sakura looked up and saw the same guy she bumped into last time. She watched her as he picked up her books one by one. 'What's with the change of attitude?' she thought, getting angry.
"Here you go, miss." the guy said smiling at her and handing her her books. Sakura mumbled a thanks and left not bothering to look at him. Tomoyo smiled and giggled. The boy jumped to the air happily. "Did you see that? I got to speak to her." he said, bragging to his friends. Both of his friends looked doubtful. "She merely said a word! You did all the talking!" they said, grinning. "Well, she still said something. That's worth something." he said returning a grin.
Sakura entered the class. It was noisy and all of them where chatting. All of them stopped talking and turned to look at her. The only person who was talking was Lina, known as the hottest girl in school.
"Uhh... May I help you?" The teacher asked, not recognizing Sakura. Sakura shook her head. "I'm at this class, Sakura Kinomoto." She said. Hearing what they just heard, everybody was of course shocked at this. "Sakura Kinomoto? That Dork?" a boy said out loud and quickly covered his mouth.
Sakura glared at him and clentched her hands. Syaoran's mouth fell open, his eyes showed that he was indeed shocked. More than anybody on the room. Tomoyo bit her lips, trying to hold back her laughter. 'HA! What now huh?!" She thought. "I'm sorry we were late. We were.. held back." she said, thinking of how many people crowded around her.
The teacher who was also shocked, nodded unconciously. "You can take your seats now." She said. Sakura and Tomoyo sat on their usual seats which is, Sakura in front of Li, and Tomoyo, in front of Eriol. They certainly didn't see this one coming, but it did. It was her, Sakura Kinomoto, the girl who once was a nerd, turned to a princess of Tomoeda. She's waaaaaay Hotter than hotty Lina. Since Sakura revealed herself, everybody had been speechless.
All eyes on her for the rest of the class and Sakura is starting to feel uncomfortable, especially when she is the center of attention.
Because of the annoying silence, a voice at the far end spoke up. It was Lina, wearing her snobby look. She had straight blonde hair tied in a pony tail and blue eyes. She was wearing a fitting spaghetti strap and shorts that traced every curves of her "perfect" body. It's part of her seducing charms. "So... Kinomoto is the girl every body has been talking about eh?" she said, standing up and began to walk towards her.
Sakura and Tomoyo rolled their eyes while pretending to look the other way. 'Oh great! It's that Lina slut!' Sakura and Tomoyo thought.
Lina fluttered her eye lashes and gave Li her best seducing smile that all guys were crazy about when she passed Li. Li, of course being busy staring at Sakura, ignored her. "So, MISSY! what are you up to now, huh? I say, you're going to try to get my sweetie, Li and take him for your own." she said smiling to Li. Li shrugged and Sakura giggled. Lina glared at her and said, "Li is mine, you can't have him." By that, Sakura, laughed hard.
"You can have him! I have more important things to do than drool over to that jerk! I'm not like any other stupid girls like you, who kisses the ground he
stands on. Besides, you two would make a cute couple. Oh did I say cute? I meant stuck-up couple." Sakura said smiling. Everybody was surprised at the sudden turn of events. They expected Sakura to not say anything, but instead, she fought back.Syaoran looked thoughtful. 'This girl has spice in her!' he thought. Lina didn't say anything except a humph and walked away. 'I won't let you get away,
Kinomoto, I'll make your life a living nightmare for embarassing me in front of the class and to my sweetie.' Lina thought as an evil smile crept up on her face.Tomoyo and Sakura grinned.
They surely couldn't hold back her laughter, but they managed, until the bell rang. All of the syudents left for lunch, except Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Eriol, who were last.
Sakura and Tomoyo burst with laughter and high fived. "You should have seen the look on her face! It was priceless!'" Sakura said. Tomoyo laughed with her. "You showed her what she was made off, Sakura, that was worth more than she bargained for." She said, grinning.
Eriol looked at Sakura with an amused look on his face. 'Kinomoto eh? This should be interesting...' Li Syaoran didn't say anything, instead, he scoffed.
~Li's POV~
Damnit! I can't control myself from staring at her. She's too pretty! Argh!!!! Those beautiful silky hair of her's that's waiting for me to run my fingers through, those red, soft lips of her's that's waiting for me to taste, hey beautiful and stunning emerald eyes, and her perfect tanned skin, that's waiting for me to touch.
SNAP OUT OF IT, LI! you're just making it worse than it is already! What happened to the 'I will never go out with you even if you're popular' speech?' Li thought, while tryng to control himself from looking at Sakura. His anger is building up inside him and he was red all over his face and steams of smoke are coming out of his head. Li couldn't take it anymore so he got up and ran to the door. Eriol chased after him.
"Hey Li! Don't leave me here!" Eriol called out, running after Syaoran, who just exited the door. Sakura looked puzled. "What's his problem?" Sakura asked to Tomoyo. All she received was a grin. 'Ohoho! The plan has just begun!' Sakura raised her brow. She did not like the way her best friend was grinning.
Fanficpixie: AHHHHHH!!!!! I finally updated! Hehehe... I hope you enjoyed it. Anyway about this Ryu guy... He's gonna come up maybe later on the next chapter. He is Sakura's childhood friend when she was young.
Hehehe.. now you found out the truth behind her being dorkie and her tragic past. It was because of that accident that Sakura lost what was precious of her, "Her precious memories."

Ryu bid goodbye one more time to Sakura and hugged her. "Thank you, Ryu-chan! You're the best friend in the whole world." Sakura said, giving Ryu a kiss on his cheeks, making her best friend blush deeply. "Goodbye Sakura" Ryu hopped on the limo and the limo sped off. Sakura, who was on the middle of the streets watched her best friend go... away from her.
Sakura, who was thinking deeply, didn't hear the speeding car's honking. Little Sakura glanced at her back, seeing the upcoming truck, she dive out of the way but it was too late. "CRASH!"
The ambulance came and carried the poor and badly hurt Sakura. Touya, who came from School saw his sister being taken away, i a stretcher. "HUh? Sakura!!!!" he said dropping his bag to the side walk. He went into Sakura and held her hands. "Touya... don't worry, I'm fine." she said, trying to suppress a smile, but this hurt her more. "This can't be! What happened to her? What did they do to Sakura?" he asked, grabbing the collar of one of the men.
"Woah, easy there child. This little girl had a hit and run accident, and we're taking her to the ambulance as soon as possible. If you want to come with us, then hop on in." he said. Touya grabbed his bag and hopped on the ambulance and the ambulance sped off, with the siren on.
~At the hospital~
Touya was in the waiting room pacing worriedly, when Fujitaka and Tomoyo arrived.
"Sakura! What happened to her?" Tomoyo asked with a concerned look on her face.
Touya lowered his head. He couldn't bear to say it for it's causing pain in his heart. "Sakura... had a hit and run accident." he said. "Oh Sakura, please be alright." Tomoyo said with tears coming out of her eyes. Fujitaka lowered his head. "My daughter..." he said, hoping she's alright. After hours of waiting, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room.
Touya stood up and went in front of the doctor. "How's my sister? Is she alright? Is she cured?" he asked. His eyes told the doctor he was really worried over her. The doctor smiled and patted Touya's head. "Sakura, isn't it? she's alright now. she was badly injured in her head, but good thing she dived away. The truck only hit her head. If it hit her whole body she could have been killed. Lucky for her, a nearby passer saw this happened and called the ambulance." he said.
"Sakura is doing fine now, she's still resting right now. But..." he said, lowering his gaze. Touya didn't like this at all. "But what?" Tomoyo asked who could no longer wait for suspension. "But, because her head was hit hard, she might have damaged her brain, causing it to shut down temporarily and she might have lost some memory, and nt only that, she also damaged her eye sight.
and she's in a comma right now but she'll awaken for about, three months. When she wakes up, don't try to tire her. This'll put her into a bad shape." he said. "Can we see her?" Tomoyo asked the doctor. "Okay, but don't be loud okay?" Tomoyo ran into the room followed by Touya and Fujitaka. They saw Sakura with bandages on her head. "Oh Sakura..." she said. She sat next to Sakura, who was asleep. "Ryu..." is all she said.
~End of Flashback~
"Ryu... I remembered him!" Tomoyo said. Sakura look like she's in deep thought. "Ryu... I dreamt about that guy today. And the accident, only when the truck hit me, the alarm clock woke me up. "The truth is... I don't remember anything about him at all." Sakura said. Taking a bite from her pancake. Every one is seated on the table, quietly.
~school~
Sakura and Tomoyo are standing under a tree. They were both quiet. "Say Tomoyo, who was Ryu?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo smiled and looked up to the sky. "Ryu... is kind of a version of Li Syaoran, except, he's personality is different. He was kind of stubborn and yet he was a nice guy. He's friendly to other people and toughtful. Sometimes he thinks too proud of himself but he mostly thinks of other people, especially you, Sakura.
At first when we both first met him, I thought he was mean and a jerk all the way, but when he's with you, you slowly changed him. He hardly smiled back then but because of you, he showed his true self. From then on, you two became best friends and he called you Ying-fa. As each of you spend days together, You began to feel different about him more and more. You were in love.
You always talked about him all day long back then. You were madly In love with him. *sigh* but... he had to leave... I don't know where he went, but all I remember is, he went back to Hong Kong. From then on, nobody heard about him." Sakura gazed at the ground. She looked at her wrist and it revealed a gold bracelet with an emerald stone in it and three pearls on each side.
'I had this on since forever. I didn't know why I had this but I kept it with me, thinking it's important, and it was. Everyday, I would dream about him, but I didn't know what thsoe dream meant. Butr now, I do... I dreamt about Ryu, the guy I loved forever.' she thought. Suddenly, loud cheers were heard from the back of the school.
"Go Li!!!" a bunch of girls cheered, "You can take all of them!" Out of curiosity, both of them decided to check out what was the loud commotion about. It seems to lead to the soccer field, where a boy with chest nut was running across the field, kicking the ball toward the goal, with beads of sweat running down his face. It was Li Syaoran, the captain of the soccer club.
At the end of the field where three guys, trying to block his way. Li managed to fool them by doing fakes and turns and he managed to kick the ball. It hurled toward the goal and it made a swoosh sound. All the fans cheered for Li who was being carried by his team mates. "Li! You were awesome!" Eriol said. "Thanks" he said, taking the towel and buried his face on it. His team mates patted his shoulders and grinnined.
"No wonder Li is popular... he's smart, he's got talent, he even got killer looks. Speaking of looks..." Tomoyo said looking at his clothes. "He also got good taste of clothes. I say --- " Tomoyo was going to add more when Sakura interrupted her. "Tomoyo!!! I thought you were on my side!" Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded and blushed. "Right." she said looking away.
"Wow, Li! you surely got yourself some huge crowd in here. Even beautiful Daidouji came." He said looking at Eriol who in turn, looked away. His eyes fell upon a girl who was with Tomoyo. "Say, who's that girl with Daidouji?" he asked. The others followed his gaze and saw Sakura. "Dude! She's hot and pretty! I don't know about you but I'll be the first one to hit on her." a boy said.
While his friends where busy looking at Sakura, Li stole a glance at her. She has a breathtaking emerald eyes, which is so bright that it reflected the sun. She also has the most charming smile he has ever seen from all the girls swarming around him. And her auburn hair, which is a shoulder length is so silky that it flows gently and gracefully on the blowing wind. He couldn't help but stare at her.
He wanted that girl... he wants her more than ever and he'd do anything to get what he wants.
"Hmm.. taken an interest at her?" a voice said. Li jumped with shock and turned to see who it was. He found Eriol, grinning.
"Don't surprise me Like that, Hiriigazawa!" he snapped. Eriol continued on grinning. He adjusted his glasses and said, "I say you're beginning to like her." Syaoran shot a glare at him, whenthe bell rang.
"Humph! Don't count on it!" he said walking away calmly.
Sakura got to her feet when the school bell rang. "Come on Sakura, we have to get to class. OooOh! I can't wait to see what the other's reaction would be." Tomoyo said squealing again. Sakura's heart beat became faster... 'what would the other's reaction would be?' she thought, asking herself. Once she stepped into the hallway, she could already feel those stares people had been doing.
She was glancing sideways when she crashed into somebody, and her books scattering (Well... She only carried two of them so people did not think she's a book worm.) "Oh I'm sorry. here miss, let me help you with that." He said. Sakura looked up and saw the same guy she bumped into last time. She watched her as he picked up her books one by one. 'What's with the change of attitude?' she thought, getting angry.
"Here you go, miss." the guy said smiling at her and handing her her books. Sakura mumbled a thanks and left not bothering to look at him. Tomoyo smiled and giggled. The boy jumped to the air happily. "Did you see that? I got to speak to her." he said, bragging to his friends. Both of his friends looked doubtful. "She merely said a word! You did all the talking!" they said, grinning. "Well, she still said something. That's worth something." he said returning a grin.
Sakura entered the class. It was noisy and all of them where chatting. All of them stopped talking and turned to look at her. The only person who was talking was Lina, known as the hottest girl in school.
"Uhh... May I help you?" The teacher asked, not recognizing Sakura. Sakura shook her head. "I'm at this class, Sakura Kinomoto." She said. Hearing what they just heard, everybody was of course shocked at this. "Sakura Kinomoto? That Dork?" a boy said out loud and quickly covered his mouth.
Sakura glared at him and clentched her hands. Syaoran's mouth fell open, his eyes showed that he was indeed shocked. More than anybody on the room. Tomoyo bit her lips, trying to hold back her laughter. 'HA! What now huh?!" She thought. "I'm sorry we were late. We were.. held back." she said, thinking of how many people crowded around her.
The teacher who was also shocked, nodded unconciously. "You can take your seats now." She said. Sakura and Tomoyo sat on their usual seats which is, Sakura in front of Li, and Tomoyo, in front of Eriol. They certainly didn't see this one coming, but it did. It was her, Sakura Kinomoto, the girl who once was a nerd, turned to a princess of Tomoeda. She's waaaaaay Hotter than hotty Lina. Since Sakura revealed herself, everybody had been speechless.
All eyes on her for the rest of the class and Sakura is starting to feel uncomfortable, especially when she is the center of attention.
Because of the annoying silence, a voice at the far end spoke up. It was Lina, wearing her snobby look. She had straight blonde hair tied in a pony tail and blue eyes. She was wearing a fitting spaghetti strap and shorts that traced every curves of her "perfect" body. It's part of her seducing charms. "So... Kinomoto is the girl every body has been talking about eh?" she said, standing up and began to walk towards her.
Sakura and Tomoyo rolled their eyes while pretending to look the other way. 'Oh great! It's that Lina slut!' Sakura and Tomoyo thought.
Lina fluttered her eye lashes and gave Li her best seducing smile that all guys were crazy about when she passed Li. Li, of course being busy staring at Sakura, ignored her. "So, MISSY! what are you up to now, huh? I say, you're going to try to get my sweetie, Li and take him for your own." she said smiling to Li. Li shrugged and Sakura giggled. Lina glared at her and said, "Li is mine, you can't have him." By that, Sakura, laughed hard.
"You can have him! I have more important things to do than drool over to that jerk! I'm not like any other stupid girls like you, who kisses the ground he
stands on. Besides, you two would make a cute couple. Oh did I say cute? I meant stuck-up couple." Sakura said smiling. Everybody was surprised at the sudden turn of events. They expected Sakura to not say anything, but instead, she fought back.Syaoran looked thoughtful. 'This girl has spice in her!' he thought. Lina didn't say anything except a humph and walked away. 'I won't let you get away,
Kinomoto, I'll make your life a living nightmare for embarassing me in front of the class and to my sweetie.' Lina thought as an evil smile crept up on her face.Tomoyo and Sakura grinned.
They surely couldn't hold back her laughter, but they managed, until the bell rang. All of the syudents left for lunch, except Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Eriol, who were last.
Sakura and Tomoyo burst with laughter and high fived. "You should have seen the look on her face! It was priceless!'" Sakura said. Tomoyo laughed with her. "You showed her what she was made off, Sakura, that was worth more than she bargained for." She said, grinning.
Eriol looked at Sakura with an amused look on his face. 'Kinomoto eh? This should be interesting...' Li Syaoran didn't say anything, instead, he scoffed.
~Li's POV~
Damnit! I can't control myself from staring at her. She's too pretty! Argh!!!! Those beautiful silky hair of her's that's waiting for me to run my fingers through, those red, soft lips of her's that's waiting for me to taste, hey beautiful and stunning emerald eyes, and her perfect tanned skin, that's waiting for me to touch.
SNAP OUT OF IT, LI! you're just making it worse than it is already! What happened to the 'I will never go out with you even if you're popular' speech?' Li thought, while tryng to control himself from looking at Sakura. His anger is building up inside him and he was red all over his face and steams of smoke are coming out of his head. Li couldn't take it anymore so he got up and ran to the door. Eriol chased after him.
"Hey Li! Don't leave me here!" Eriol called out, running after Syaoran, who just exited the door. Sakura looked puzled. "What's his problem?" Sakura asked to Tomoyo. All she received was a grin. 'Ohoho! The plan has just begun!' Sakura raised her brow. She did not like the way her best friend was grinning.
Fanficpixie: AHHHHHH!!!!! I finally updated! Hehehe... I hope you enjoyed it. Anyway about this Ryu guy... He's gonna come up maybe later on the next chapter. He is Sakura's childhood friend when she was young.
Hehehe.. now you found out the truth behind her being dorkie and her tragic past. It was because of that accident that Sakura lost what was precious of her, "Her precious memories."
