Disclaimer- I do not own CCS or any of its characters. Or do I?

Author's Note- Hey everyone, I've decided to continue the story. I'm actually thinking of starting a new one, but not about CCS. For now though I'll just stick with this one I'll try to update as fast as I can, but I've been busy lately so please don't eat me alive Oo

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

The clock read 6:00 AM. It was time for Sakura to get ready for school, but she didn't seem to notice the alarm even though she was already awake. She kept waking up in the middle on the night. She had so many nightmares in one night that after the fourth, she just decided not to go back to sleep. She chose to lie there until morning.

After about ten minutes of the alarm ringing, Sakura's father knocked on her door to wake her up. She rolled off of her bed and hit the floor hard. Sakura tried to reach the clock but couldn't reach from where she was. Instead she reached for the outlet and unplugged the clock.

She tiredly got up off of the ground and headed for the bathroom. She didn't really feel like showering right now. In fact, she didn't really feel like doing anything, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Once in the bathroom, she brushed her teeth and showered.

After finishing, she dragged herself to her room to pick out her outfit. She didn't really care what she was going to wear, so she picked out a black t-shirt and black jeans.

With book bag in hand, she walked down the stairs and grabbed one of the left over slices of pizza from the fridge. She began eating it without bothering to heat it up and left for school.

The day wasn't as bright as the last; it looked as if it was going to rain. The clouds were gray and it was a little foggy.

After rounding the corner of her street, she met up with Tomoyo and Chiharu. They had an awkward look on their faces.

"Sakura, are you okay?" asked Chiharu.

Sakura didn't answer back. She just kept walking forward, as if avoiding the question. Tomoyo and Chiharu followed behind her. The rest of the walk was quiet and uncomfortable.

When they finally got to the school, Sakura could see a boy waving to them. She wasn't sure if it was directed to her or one of her friends, but she didn't really care.

He had black hair reaching right over his ears, which is too much hair for a boy to have according to Sakura. He had a normal build for a guy and was about 5' 9". He wore tight denim jeans and tight shirt that read, "I'm With The Band". His sneakers were nothing special but it did match with his clothes. Without even meeting the boy, Sakura had already tagged him as a punk kid.

Sakura pretended not to notice, but behind her, Tomoyo and Chiharu were giggling. Just then, Tomoyo ran ahead to greet the boy. When Sakura and Chiharu finally reached them, it was revealed that his name was Teraku, the guy Tomoyo was talking about the day before.

Seems he noticed that Sakura was having a bad day. He tried to make her laugh, but failed. It isn't that he wasn't funny, he was, but Sakura just wasn't in the mood. Instead she just stayed quiet; it made for an awkward moment.

The first bell broke the silence and they all headed off for their classes.

After homeroom, Sakura tried to run ahead to get to the gym quickly, but Syaoran quickly caught up with her and walked with her to the gym.

He tried to make conversation with her, but she was lost in her own world. When they got to the gym, the coaches separated the boys from the girls and handed out the gym clothes to those who had the money to pay for them.

After everyone was finished changing in the locker rooms, they were separated into groups. The coach's chose that they thought would make good group captains. They will be in charge of keeping their group on their toes. Soon after they proceeded to put the groups together.

Sakura was relieved but at the same time disappointed that the boys were separate from the girls. A little part inside of her was hoping to be put into Syaoran group, and another part wanted to stay as far away as possible.

The class started off with some warm-up exercises. In between exercises, Sakura took a peak at Syaoran who seemed to be doing everything with quite ease.

After all the exercises and some free time, it was already time to change for the next class.

After emerging from the locker room, Sakura saw Syaoran talking to the kid Teraku. She walked the other way to avoid them both altogether.

She headed for her next class, which was science.

It felt like the class was taking forever, but only because Sakura was sleepy and couldn't concentrate.

Sakura met up with everyone for lunch, but Syaoran wasn't at the table. She did a quick scan of the cafeteria and found Syaoran surrounded by half a dozen girls, every single one of them flirting with him. Sakura was filled with jealousy but did nothing.

After lunch, she had web design with Tomoyo and they were paired as computer partners. At first, Tomoyo just kept talking about Teraku and how cute his hair is, but she noticed that Sakura did not want to hear about that.

Tomoyo asked her what was going on, and Sakura gave in. She explained everything from what had happened with her dad to her "situation" with Syaoran (if you can even call it a situation).

Tomoyo suggested that she should talk with Syaoran let him know how she is feeling.

After class, Sakura waited with Tomoyo outside the school. They were planning on walking home together.

From behind them, they could hear a horn honking.

"Does anyone need a lift?" asked Teraku.

"Oh my gosh, you have a car?" shouted Tomoyo.

"Yup, hop in and I'll give you a ride home", offered Teraku.

Without missing a beat, Tomoyo jumped into the car.

"What kind of car is this?" asked Tomoyo.

"This is a '73 Pontiac GTO Convertible. It used to be my dad's, but he gave it to me after he bought a new car. It's in pretty good condition too", answered Teraku.

Tomoyo had him wait for Chiharu. Once she arrived, she jumped in without even asking if she could.

Teraku offered Sakura a ride, but she declined. She was planning on speaking to Syaoran as soon as possible, and if she is alone, then it will be even better.

Teraku drove off as smoke shot out of the mufflers. It seems that it wasn't in as good as a condition as he had said.

When Sakura turned around, Syaoran was waiting behind her.

"I noticed Tomoyo and Chiharu left you alone. Some friends they are", said Syaoran jokingly.

Sakura smiled for the first time today, even though it wasn't necessarily funny.

They began their walk back home. It was mostly quiet, up until Syaoran broke the silence.

"Um, Sakura, I want to tell you something. I asked Teraku to take Tomoyo and Chiharu with him so that I could talk to you in private" admitted Syaoran.

"How did you know I wouldn't go?" asked Sakura.

"I don't know; I just had a feeling. And besides, if you did go, I could always go to your house, but I wanted to speak with you as soon as possible" said Syaoran.

Sakura's stomach started turning, she couldn't begin to imagine what Syaoran had to say, but she had a pretty good idea.

"Sakura, I wanted to ask you"…

Author's Note- Well, that's it for now. This chapter is a lot longer than my others. I hope you all enjoy it. Please R&R. I'd love to know what you guys think of my story. Oh and, FYI, the character Teraku is based on me. Just a little bit of info I thought you might want to know. Well, until next time
