Chapter 2- Known as a Goth
By: Me, the Author
A/N: Eh... I'm sorry, but the first chapter didn't have any chapter name at all, and I was thinking of calling it- Start. So...
Disclaimer: Once again, I have no intentions of stealing CCS in my own hands, unless I was CLAMP, which is really impossible, because there's like... 4 people in it, and I'm one person, and I don't speak Japanese (I WILL SOMEDAY!). So CCS does not belong to Me.

The fact that everyone knew about Sakura- The supposed to be 'Goth'- was because of the people in Sakura's history class. Apparently, they knew other people, and the other people knew even more people, and those people knew some more people, and so on, giving the consequences that now everyone in Tomoeda High knows about 'The Crazy Goth', who had 'talked' to a hottie, and paired up with him in a project that was supposed to last for 2 weeks- a long time for high school students, it seems.
The boys and girls that are in Sakura's classes, happened to say to people, who knew other people, and others, and more, and so on- said that Sakura was gothic and happened to be really pretty. Sakura, being Sakura, decided to take no notice of all the comments, and just concentrate on classes and do what she was supposed to do... mostly.
But still, The Crazy Goth did turn well-known. Sure there was many other Goths, but mostly they were certainly much more depressed and had Goth friends, but Sakura was really hyperactive and her friends definitely weren't gothic.

Sakura Kinomoto's father was healthy. And he wanted lazy ol' Sakura to be healthy too, making her walk the dog that they didn't have. "I'm going to tell the newspapers about you, banning your own daughter from her OWN HOUSE!" Sakura had said, giving her the reply, "It's for your own good, and this is my house."
See where she got her sarcasm from? Now that she had walked about 2 streets –making her super thirsty-, and decided to walk home.
"Hey Sakura!"
Sakura turned around to see a boy run to her. Sakura turned around again and started walking back home, only about 5 times faster pace. The boy didn't seem to give up, and eventually caught up and grabbed her shoulder. "Okay you stalker, what do you want? I have a cookie- You probably smelled the cookie right? RIGHT?!" Sakura said in a rush, certainly afraid of the boy.
"I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa." Said the boy.
"What do you want with me?" Said the Crazy Goth Girl who was about to throw a cookie at the boy.
"Well, you're my neighbor, and my schoolmate." He simply said. Sakura glared. "LIAR! I went through 3 houses of my left and-"
"How about right? I saw you come out of the house, and my mom had wanted to ask you to come to a Friday night dinner along with your family." Eriol said. Sakura blinked. "Nah." And turned around to walk home again. Besides, they (Sakura, her brother and father) were going to some boring opera anyways.
Eriol looked certainly confused. "Then I guess I'll just have to ask your parents... And ask them about it."
Then an idea popped into Sakura's head.
"Wait, wait. Tell my dad that you REALLY want to have dinner with us, and when he still declines, say 'Why not just have Sakura go?' Okay?" Sakura said, suddenly really fast to Eriol.
Eriol blinked in confusion. "But I have a friend who's also-"
"I don't care, I want to get out of that stupid opera anyways, Friday night, remember, DO WHAT I SAY!"
Eriol nodded, certainly scared by Sakura, who was now strutting happily down the road, singing 'Jingle Bells'.

"Hey Sakura, what are you doing this weekend?" Tomoyo asked, waiting in line to hit the volleyball. It was Tuesday, and PE time. "Well, on Friday I'm going to a neighbor's to eat dinner and on Saturday and Sunday... I am absolutely free."
"Sakura, remember how you owe me?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura stared at Tomoyo, confused. "No." She said. Tomoyo pouted, making Sakura frown. "I mean it Tomoyo, do not copy my pouts!" Sakura growled, hitting the volleyball, and then waiting for Tomoyo to go. Tomoyo sighed, walking to the end with Sakura. "But on Friday I have exactly nothing to do..." Sakura blinked. "You can come to dinner with me."
Tomoyo gasped. "Really?!" She smiled. Sakura nodded. "He goes to this school. I'll ask him at lunch."

"HEY ERIOL!"
An earsplitting, piercing scream ran over the school field. Tomoyo twitched, as Sakura was just besides her. It seemed impossible, but suddenly, a blue haired boy, who looked pretty hurt, walked up to Sakura. "You scream really loud, young lady." Eriol said. Sakura pouted. "It's not my fault." She claimed. "Can my good ol' friend come to dinner with me? After all, she's going to be alone on Friday and probably have unprotected sex with 3 guys and have triplets, so then I can't hang out with her because of the babies. What do ya say?" Sakura asked, not bothering to look at the gaping Tomoyo.
"What makes you so sure that your father will let you go to a complete stranger's house? I still have to 'go beg him' or something." Eriol stated, glancing at Tomoyo, who was making choke movements at Sakura.
"But aren't you like, my good friend or something?" Sakura asked, expression really hurt. Eriol's eyes widened. "Erm... U-Uh... Y-Yeah..."
Sakura smiled, and jumped up...
"OW!"
Tomoyo kneeled besides them. "Ouch. Sakura just attacked you with a hug. You're lucky it was grass and not something more... hard that you landed on."
Eriol looked past the black shoulder. "You have one heck of a friend here." He stated. Tomoyo smiled. "I know. Isn't she the queerest?"
Sakura turned her head around. "Did you just call me queer?!"

"What are you doing, Sakura?"
Sakura turned from what she was doing, which was looking at the bulletin board. There was Tomoyo, blinking in confusion. "Oh my god, you're reading a bulletin board!" She gasped. A girl, who was with her, looked even more confused. "We HAVE a bulletin board?!" She exclaimed. Tomoyo looked at the girl. "This is Chiharu!" She said. The girl had put her hair in big pigtails, which made Sakura's face twist in disgust. "Can't you put your hair down?" Sakura asked Chiharu. Chiharu huffed. "I like it this way." She said, obviously offended. "I didn't say if you liked it or not, I just meant, I don't like it. So put your hair down. And I hate the name Chiharu. You're Chi now." Sakura said, demandingly.
Chiharu opened her mouth to say something, but Tomoyo quickly interrupted and asked, "Are you looking for a club to join?"
Sakura nodded, turning her head around again to read the bulletin board. "Why is it taking you so long to read it?" Tomoyo asked. "There's no witchcraft here!" She whined.
"There is Drama." Chiharu said. Sakura looked at her. "Sakura won't join it, promise." Tomoyo pointed out. Sakura pondered for a moment. "Okay, where's the sign-up sheet?"
Tomoyo's jaw dropped way down.
Chiharu pointed to the blue sign-up sheet. "Thanks Chi." Sakura said, signed up, and walked away.
Chiharu quickly turned to Tomoyo. "You missed all those summer meetings for a demanding Gothic girl?!"
Tomoyo blinked. Then nodded a bit slowly. "Yeah..." Tomoyo squeaked, kind of afraid of the tone Chiharu had spoke in.
"She calls me Chi, she acts like a bitch, she's so demanding, it's like the world revolves around her! And you said that she was SHY?!" Chiharu bawled. Tomoyo sighed. "She just gives the wrong first impressions, because she is so shy. She's not... THAT demanding... And she's really a sweet girl..." Tomoyo said. Chiharu rolled her eyes. "As if."

Knock Knock
A tall man opened the door. "Yes?"
"Hi! My name is Eriol... and..."
-----
"It's good ol' Friday!" Sakura said, very happily. She was sitting under the tree with Tomoyo. "Tomoyo, you're coming with me to that Friday dinner. Happy?" Sakura said. Tomoyo smiled.
"Totally."
