"juzanoddaminute..." 13 year old Sakura Kinomoto was late for school.. yet again. Her older brother Touya sighed.. and waited..

getting more and more impatient.. and then..

ONE MINUTE LATER-

"HOEEEE" Sakura yelled out as the ice cold water was poured over her head. "TOUYA YOU INCONSIDERATE PERSONNN" She yelled, getting out of bed, and running.. coincidently tripping over water on the floor. Now she was really embarassed.

"kaijuu?" Touya had come back to check on his little sister when he had heard her fall.

"I AM NOT A KAIJUU!" Sakura yelled at him, standing up and blushing red. She then ran off and proceeded to finish preparing for school.. well, she did until she realised that she was really late and that she should've left for school.. well, lets just say ages ago..

"HOEEE!" Sakura ran down the stairs, put on her shoes and ran straight out the door. She ran the whole way to school, barely making it there in time. She hadn't even stopped to tie her shoelace.. which caused her to fall and drop her books. "AHHHHHHHH"

She yelled, whilst attempting to tie her shoelace and pick up her books.

"Err, are you sure you don't need any help there with your books?" A voice asked

"HOE!... who are you?" Sakura looked up to see a pair of amber eyes looking back at her with concern.

"My names Li Syaoran.. you can call me Syaoran.. err, let me help you with that.." He then picked up her books in a pile and handed them back to her. That was when he took a closer look at the person he had helped. He was taken aback by surprise..

wow this girl is pretty. really pretty... he thought to himself. He had noticed that Sakura had short, but cute auburn hair.. and when she had looked back at him he had seen emerald eyes.

"IM LATE FOR CLASS!" Sakura had realised, and yelled out. Looking at his watch, Syaoran sighed. and so am i he thought to himself.

"AHHH GOTTA GO, BYE!" Sakura was stressed out. She ran the rest of the way to class. I wonder who he was? She had thought calmly to herself. She sat down..

"Hi, Sakura. Late again?" Sakura's best friend, Tomoyo, said sarcastically.

"Shut up Tomoyo, it won't happen again!" retorted Sakura

"mmhmm, that's what you always say yet i never see it happen!" Tomoyo looked away to stare out the window.

Half an hour later, Sakura and Tomoyo listened to their teacher attempting to teach.. until they heard something that was of interest to them.

"Class, I would like to announce that a new student has just been enrolled at our school, for this class. The new student is Li Syaoran. Please welcome him." The teacher said, making a gesture to the door. The door opened, and a boy walked in. He looked briefly around the classroom and then turned sharply to the teacher.

"You may sit down. There, next to Kinomoto. Sakura, raise your hand." The teacher said

Sakura raised her hand nervously and then put it back down. To her right, Syaoran put down his bag and took out the equipment he needed for the lesson. Sakura couldn't help but blush her way through the lesson. Tomoyo kept giving Sakura weird looks, and even kicked her once in a lame attempt to stop her blushing.

After school, Sakura decided to go over Tomoyo's house. She didn't want to go home to a mean brother who called her a kaijuu monster. But Tomoyo had other plans for Sakura..

"Okay Sakura, I've got you, SPILL!" Tomoyo wanted answers. Sakura kept on blushing.

"STOP BLUSHING WILL YA! SPILL! SAKURAAAAA" Tomoyo was exasperated. She had definetely tried her best. Sakura was blushing and shuffling her feet. "Isortofranintohimthismorningandhehelpedmepickupmybooksandireallylikehim" Sakura half mumbled.

"now what was that?" Tomoyo questioned

"I SORT OF RAN INTO HIM THIS MORNING AND HE HELPED ME PICK UP MY BOOKS AND I... really like him..." Sakura broke off.

"hehe i gotcha now MWAHAHAHAHA" Tomoyo laughed evilly and coughed. ahem "aww, that is so cute, Sakura... now all we need to know is if he likes you back huh?"

Sakura stared. "no, Tomoyo..no. dont go off hatching another evil plan of yours!"

"well, you seem hyperactive today don't you?" Tomoyo grinned and went back to looking at her desk.

Sakura blushed. "NO, NO of course not! TOMOYO!" she yelled as Tomoyo winked at her repeatedly.

"aww, this is me. call you later then, Sakura" Tomoyo said, walking up to her house and giving her one last wink.

she can be so annoying sometimes! what a cousin i have... Sakura thought to herself, while walking back to her own place not really looking at where she was going...
