Chapter 4: The new girl named Rika

Sakura panicked as she arrived her school, for the first time in few weeks, this was the first time that she wasn't late. So you can tell that Sakura was in a pretty good mood when she arrived Tomoeda. When she entered her classroom, she saw a new face in the crowd. It's a girl, a very pretty girl. She has short brown hair, and naturally a little curled. She had a pretty face and slim tall body. People seem to be surrounding her.

"Hey Tomoyo, what's up with that girl and the people surrounding her?" Sakura asked Tomoyo, which was really shocked and happy about the fact that Sakura wasn't late.

"Her name is Rika Sasaki (I think) and she just moved to Tomoeda a week ago."Tomoyo said, looking over at the huge crowd.

"Ok, so why are they surrounding her?" Sakura asked curiously. There's something about that girl. Sakara had defiantly seen her before.

"She's the mayor's daughter," Tomoyo explained patiently, "She's really, really popular and totally rich." Tomoyo didn't look too happy when Rika started talking to Eriol. Tomoyo ran into the crowd and joined the group. Sakura nodded. So that's where she had seen her before, she remembered. She saw Rika on T.V! She had a humongous birthday party, which got filmed and was shown on T.V.

Sakura didn't care about things like that. She just took her seat in her desk quietly and waited for the bell to ring. Sakura is a really good student, even though she's late all the time she is still a very hard working student. She was a bit early, so she took out her math textbook and started reviewing for the huge math exam they'll going to have that afternoon. Sakura was studying really, really hard. Last time she had a math test, she god so bad that she was too embarrassed to even talk about it. Guess Sakura was studying too hard to not notice Syaoran Li approached her. Syaoran got a little mad when he saw Sakura not noticing him. He tried not to sound to disappointed when he greeted Sakrua.

"Hey." Syaoran greeted coldly without any expression on his face.

"Huh…" Sakura looked up and found Syaoran staring at her. His face looked cold. No…angry. That's when Sakura remembered what she said to Syaoran on the phone yesterday. 'Uh oh… I'm in big trouble now!' Sakura gulped. 'Run? No… that won't work.' Sakura decided the best way is to say hi and act innocent. "Hi Syaoran!" Sakura hang her fake smile, wishing her voice wasn't shaking so much as she thought it is.

"You look nice today." Syaoran said awkwardly, it was easy to say he doesn't do that a lot. He tried to sound friendly.

'What!!!!!! Did Syaoran Li just complimented me?' Sakura was surprised. She couldn't believe that Syaoran Li just said that. 'Maybe I should ask him repeat that, I don't think my ears worked right.' Sakura thought. 'No you stupid! Use this chance and maybe he won't beat you up!!!" a voice in back of her head suddenly yelled. "Um… thanks…" Sakura blushed as she mumbled her words out.

Syaoran opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by the bell. "BBBBRRRRRRRIIIIINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!" It ringed. Everyone got back to their seats, the mayor's daughter ran to the front of the class. A few minutes later, Tereda-sensei walked into the class.

"Today, we have another new student in our class." Tereda-sensei said as soon as he put his things down. "This is Rika Sasaki, she is the mayor's daughter and I expect everyone one to respect her." Tereda-sensei said seriously. No kidding, no one would really want to mess with the mayor's daughter. "Miss.Sasaki, you can go sit beside Mr.Li. Mr.li, please raise your hand please." Tereda-sensei raised his voice. Syaoran raised his hand quickly and Rika hurried to her new desk without a word.

Sakura's POV

At lunchtime, I sat in the cafeteria with Naoko. Naoko (A/N: I dunno her last name) has straight brown hair, wear a pair of thin wire glasses and knows about a lot of things. Tomoyo wasn't there; last time I saw her, she was hanging around with Eriol. I don't mind, Tomoyo can hang out with other people too. Since Tomoyo's not here, I'm hanging around with Naoko. Something seems strange, Syaoran's not here. Wait, why am thinking about him? I shook my head fiercely, I can feel Naoko's gaze resting on me, so I sat up and ate my lunch. Just then laughter was heard. I turned around and saw Syaoran put his arms around Rika, talking and laughing as they enter the cafeteria. I suddenly felt my brain froze, I tried to look away, but I couldn't. Syaoran suddenly looked at me, and our eyes locked on to each other. We just stared at each other as he walked past me and sat on the other lunch table. After he stopped looking at me, I still stared at his back blankly.

"Sakura…Sakura" huh? Someone's calling me, "SAKURA!" Naoko said a bit louder. I suddenly felt my senses come back. I looked at Naoko and nodded. "Are you ok?" she looked at me worriedly. I nodded again. "I'm ok. Don't worry about me." I finally opened my mouth and talk. I don't know how I got through rest of the lunch period, but when I realized it, the bell had already rung.

Afterschool

I sat down on the bench in Penguin Park. I looked up into the blue sky. It's almost spring, and in the spring cherry blossoms bloom. Cherry blossoms. That reminds me. I looked at the cherry blossom tree that stands before me. It's an awesome tree…but it had never bloom. Some people say it's dead, but I don't believe it. Cherry blossoms can't die, they're just getting ready to spread their wings and fly. I put my hand on my heart, I can still feel my heart pounding. After such a long time, I can still feel it pounding. I felt kind of…sad. I don't know why I feel this way, he's just another guy, just another guy. But even if I like him, I won't have time for him. I have my life and I need to make sure I can survive in this world. If I still want to have food to eat, place to live, then I can't make any time for a boyfriend.

I picked up backpack and stood up, it's time to go home. Touya will be home soon, and he will be hungry. As I swung my backpack onto my shoulder, I heard someone.

"Leaving already?" Syaoran jumped down from a cherry blossom. I was shocked, but got over it pretty fast.

"Yeah…" I answered. "I still have things to do." I didn't look at him. Because I'm afraid if I look at him, I might blush too hard.

"Ok…then I better make this quick." I raised an eyebrow. "I don't want anything to do with you anymore. So you should just forget about what I said to you yesterday on the phone, and do not tell anyone. I have a girlfriend now and I don't think she'll be to happy with you after she hears about it." Syaoran said sharply. I felt like I wanted to cry. His words were like an arrow, piercing right through my heart. But I didn't cry, I never let anyone see my weak side.

"Get it?" He asked me, staring at me with those icy brown eyes. I nodded. I thought if I said something to him, I would feel a tear sliding down my cheek. He turned around and walked away without turning back. I felt huge tears rolling in my eyes, wanting to get out. I struggled to push it back, but couldn't. Tears. Tears came out like crazy. Before I knew it, my cheek was all wet. I watched as he walked farther farther. "Bye bye Syaoran…" I whispered weakly before I started running back home. I never ran so fast in my whole life. I just wanted to get out of that horrible place. I wanted to leave everything behind. I wanted to run away, I wanted to go home.
