Author's Note: GAH! THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING! :glomppouncehugglezsquash: I'm so hyper today, I just gotta write the second chapter! Enjoy!

I suppose it's kinda repetitive...but then again, how else are the two gonna meet?

babystyle: Nope, Kanaye and Hana aren't related to Syaoran and Sakura; Kinomoto isn't exactly a rare last name, and neither is Li, so they aren't related!

Switched Valentines

By: Wings of Jade

Chapter 2: The Mix-Up Begins

Syaoran accidentally-on-purpose crashed into a random person, sending his books, pencils, erasers, and binder flying into the air. He dropped his book too, to make it seem like it was all by happy accident.

"Gomen nasai," apologized Syaoran, "I didn't watch where I was going." He bent down and 'helped' the poor guy pick up his books and pencils and binder, while really hewas watchingHana approaching her locker out of the corner of his eye.

It was two days after he had bought a valentine for Hana, and the morning announcer had clearly said: Today, the Athletic Council will be delivering the lovely valentines you guys bought to support Takashi athletics! Remember to check your locker carefully - you may just find a beautiful rose and love note!

And so, he wanted to see if Hana had gotten it or not, if the Athletic Council had really delivered the valentines...

Hana did the combination on her lock...

Syaoran trudged over towards his left, picking up a math textbook...

Hana opened her locker...

Syaoran returned the math textbook to the guy, still observing Hana out of the corner of his eye...

Hana took off her coat and hung it up inside the locker...

Syaoran retrieved the binder from underneath the drinking fountain...

She reached inside...

He returned the binder...

"Ohayou, Hana-chan!" greeted one of Hana's friends, a blonde-haired girl. "What's that you got there?"

"It's a valentine," replied Hana, "But I don't know who it's from."

"Open it!" said her friend eagerly, "It might be someone you know!"

Hana slid a finger under the seal, prying the envelope open...Syaoran held his breath...

"LI SYAORAN!"

He winced. Horribly.

"What are you doing outside of class?"

"Nothing, Ito-sensei." The principal glared at him.

"And why were you crouched on the floor?"

"I bumped into this guy," explained Syaoran, trying to look innocent, "And he insisted that I pick everything up for him, and he threatened to beat me up if I didn't, so then I had to pick up some things for him, and naturally everything was on the floor..." He glanced behind him. Hana and her friend were opening the valentine and giggling to each other! He was dying to know what was so...giggly.

"Oh really." Ito-sensei pursed his lips. "Can you at least give me a more realistic excuse? GET TO CLASS, NOW!"

"Hai, Ito-sensei," replied Syaoran, and immediately hurried off to class.

I wonder what they were giggling over...I'm not that bad of a writer, am I?

"O-O-Ohayou, Kanaye-san," Sakura said shyly to Kanaye. Kanaye looked up from his desk and smiled at her - a hunky, gorgeous smile.

"Ohayou, Sakura-san," he replied in a smooth,even voice. "Hajimemashite(1)?"

"Arigatou gozaimasu." There was an awkward pause, and Kanaye raised an eyebrow.

"'Arigatou gozaimasu'?" Sakura suddenly realized her error, and her cheeks turned maddeningly crimson.

"I-I mean, good."

"Oh." Kanaye frowned, and then smiled. "That's good." Sakura returned the smile, but turned away, her face still burning red. Her best friend, a girl named Tomoyo with hair of a violet hue, and dark eyes, was almost suffocating with laughter.

"Nani, Tomoyo!" cried Sakura, turning an even deeper shade red. Tomoyo cracked up.

"Oh...my...god," laughed Tomoyo, shaking with mirth. "Did you see yourself talking to Kanaye?"

"Iie..."

"So kawaii!" Sakura sweat-dropped.

"How did I do?"

Tomoyo burst into more raucous laughter. "Really...bad."

"Tomoyo-chan!"

"Honestly, it wasn't exactly the best impression - I mean, you said thank you when he asked you how you were, and you were like 'O-O-O-Ohayou, K-Kan-Kan-Kanaye-san'." Sakura pouted.

"Thanks a lot,Tomoyo-chan." Tomoyo shrugged.

"I am just telling you the truth."

Sakura eyed Kanaye as he sorted through his pile of valentines. Being the hunk that he was, he obviously got a ton every year, whether it was in the form of letters or roses. However, the bell rang, signalling lunch, and a reluctant Sakura was dragged away by Tomoyo.

Darn, thought Sakura, did he receive mine?

She opened her locker, putting her books in on the top shelf...and then she saw it:

A rose.

Attached to an envelope.

With a chocolate bar!

"Tomoyo-chan!" whispered Sakura. "I - got - a valentine!"

"You're notserious?" Tomoyo whispered back. Sakura tore off the valentine taped to her locker door and showed it to Tomoyo.

"I am serious."

"Open it!" said Tomoyo eagerly. Sakura peeled the seal off the envelope, which was a big red plastic heart sticker, and opened the envelope. She took out the note, and read it out loud:

"Kinomoto-san,

I don't know if you know me, but I certainly know you. NO, I AM NOT A STALKER! I happen to really admire you, and I think you are a really nice girl, and you deserve a guy who likes you. However, I really don't know how you would react to this, so I was just thinking - would you meet me under the peach tree on Valentine's Day at lunch, and get to see who I am? I really don't want to draw attention to myself, but if you are intrigued, and if you are looking for a guy who would seriously care for you, then remember to come.

Sincerely,

Anonymous."

Tomoyo giggled. "Aw, he's so kawaii - he has to make it to the point that he isn't a stalker! And he wants you to meet him under a peach tree!" She sighed. "So romantic! Like something out of a romance story..."

Sakura frowned. "But I don't know who he is. I mean, it says 'Sincerely, Anonymous'. What if he's..." She trailed off. The two looked to the left.

A guy with bright purple hair grinned at Sakura and waved at her. The two immediately turned away, shuddering. "I'd die if it's Ryunosuke," whispered Sakura. "He's liked me since grade eight!"

"And he as good as stalks you," Tomoyo pointed out, "And he knows you. It clearly says: I don't know if you know me. Ryunosuke knows that you know him, so it's probably not him."

"But then who is it? I mean, you never know who it might be...a geek to a complete hunk..." Sakura looked meaningfully behind her. Tomoyo followed her gaze, and rolled her eyes. Kanaye was talking to his friends, laughing and smiling.

"I doubt Kanaye can even read, let alone write."

"Tomoyo-chan!"

"Oh come on!" snapped Tomoyo. "Just because he's handsome doesn't mean he's smart or he's going to care for you. I mean, did you see his characters? They are so messy! No way can they be this neat."

"Then who do you think it is?" Tomoyo shrugged.

"I have no idea, but I have a feeling that he's going to blow you away." (A.N.: W00t! Go Tomoyo!)

"Hi Li-san, what's up?"

"Oh, it's you," growled Syaoran, opening his locker. "What do you want?"

"Sheesh, you're always so suspicious," said Takashi sulkily. "Can't I say hi?"

"Iie, not without a lie following it."

"Do I lie?"

"Yeah, you do." Syaoran put his books inside his locker and faced Takashi. "Did you know that the Internet was invented by a couple of college students who tried to send each other naked pictures of each other? Did you know that Terada-sensei uses cologne that smells like hamburgers? Did you know that Kimi-san waxed off her moustache because she didn't want to look like a man?"

"Hey! Those weren't lies," Takashi defended, "Okay, maybe the Internet thing was, but Terada-sensei does smell like hamburgers! And Kimi-san had this really visible moustache growing above her lip, and she did probably wax it off, because there isn't any moustache anymore!" Syaoran rolled his eyes. Takashi's eyes suddenly grew wide.

"Hey, you have a valentine!"

"Yeah, right!"

"No - I'm not lying this time - there's a valentine taped to your locker door." Syaoran was getting extremely pissed off.

"Oh my god, I suppose I turn around and see - " His eyes bulged out. " - a VALENTINE!"

"I tooooooooooooooooooooooold you..."

"Shut up, Takashi," muttered Syaoran angrily. He tore off the seal, opened the envelope, and took out the message.

"I tooooooooooooooooooooooold you..."

"SHUT UP, TAKASHI!"

"I tooooooooooooooooooooooold you..."

"You see my foot? You see your behind? They're going to connect soon if you don't shut up." Takashi winced. He had had that experience before...however, he still couldn't resist a final gibe:

"I tooooooooooooooooooooooold you..."

For the rest of the day, Takashi could be seen limping, rubbing his butt and cursing, "Stupid Li, stupid gaki...ugh..."

Syaoran's eyes scanned the note repeatedly, not believing what was on it:

Dear Li-kun,

I really don't know how to sum this up in just a couple of words. All I can say is, I've liked you from the first moment I saw you, and I think you're nice, you're sweet, and a really nice person. However, you never seem to notice me, but hopefully, after this note, you'll know. Li-kun, I really, really like you, but I am honestly too shy to tell you. If you could meet me under the peach tree in the schoolyard on Valentine's Day...

Yours Truly,

Anonymous
