Disclaimer: Last time I checked I only owned the plot and the characters you don't know.

Now on with this chapter, and I hope you enjoy this.

Chapter 2

Tomoyo's POV

"Who does that Subeta think she is?" Rika asked as she opened her gym locker after we got out of class.

"I don't give a care who she thinks she is, but she can't possibly be related to Syaoran." Naoko said slamming her locker shut after placing her things inside.

"Just remember Syaoran is mine and we need to have Kinomoto on our side. We need her to make us more popular." I said as I stuffed my clothes in the locker.

There was a slight cough behind me and I turned only to see Kinomoto standing there with a slightly bemused smile on her face.

"I'm not dumb and I don't like to be used. So you can just ditch that stupid idiotic plan of yours and go to hell." Kinomoto said anger flashing in her emerald eyes.

"Sakura, are you ready to go? We have some time before period two.The teacher said we could leave so I can show you the school." Jade said showing up behind Kinomoto a glare evident on her face, that was as usual directed at me.

"Go away whore," I said to Jade who rolled her eyes, "Can't you see that I'm talking to Kinomoto here."

"You aren't talking to me, I was talking to you." Kinomoto said and then turned to Kasshu. "Let's go, are your friends joining us?" Kinomoto indicated pointing to Mei Lin.

"Hai." Kasshu said in Japanese.

'What did she say, I only know Subeta. What did she say.' Iasked myself.

"You know Japanese?" Kinomoto exclaimed astonished.

"Yea, my father's side of the family is Japanese, my mother's side of the family is Chinese." Jade explained as they walked away.

"I hate them both." Rei said as she came over.

"You and me both." I replied fuming on the inside.

Syaoran's POV

I walked out of Math only to see Mei Lin andJade talking to the new girl, and the new girl was laughing at whatthey were saying. Jade smiled and nodded at something the new girl said, and then pointed to a room and said something.

"Jade." I said walking towards them now being able to talk with her as a cousin, then trying to keep my popular status. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend."

"Syaoran, this is Kinomoto Sakura. Sakura, this is Li Syaoran, my cousin, the guy who everyone goes gaga over." Jade said introducing us to each other, as I checked to make sure no one was around.

"Hi, Li-san." Kinomoto said to me bowing.

"Hello, Kinomoto-san, and I'm sure you already got the 'join our group, leave her behind' talk." I said and she nodded and Jade turned away.

"Yes, I did." Kinomoto said.

"Did she ever." Mei Lin replied rolling her eyes.

"Well, Jade is the one person who cares about how people feel on the inside, not how they act on the outside, so I must say, you have one hell of a friend." I said. "Ihave togo or the teacher will kill me."

I turned after they waved and ran off to the classroom. I opened the door and walked into only to see the teacher handing out homework. I plopped into my seat and opened my homework notebook and started to write the homework.

"Li-san, here is your homework." The teacher said placing a paper on my desk.

"Thank you." I said and the bell rang, and I jumped out of my seat just like everyone else.

"Syaoran." A voice shouted and I turned around to see my best friend Takashi walking towards me his girlfriend Lila hanging on his arm.

"Hey, Takashi, Lila." I said as we walked towards each other. "Are we going to go to the pep rally or ditch it?"

"Well I personally have to go, I am the lead cheerleader, but I don't really care if you go or not." Lila said pushing a strand of hair behind her left ear.

"Well, I don't know about you Syaoran, but I'm going." Takashi said placing his arm around Lila's shoulders.

"Sure why not, it will be fun." I said and we started to walk towards the gym.

Sakura's POV

"Pep rally?" I asked.

"Yea, they suck, but we have to go, since my friends and I are already in trouble today, I don't think it would be a good idea to ditch it." Mei Lin said as she joined us at Jade's locker.

Jade smiled and slammed her locker shut, twisting the lock to the right. She leaned up against it and a few guys came over and stood around us. One guy I could tell was checking me out. He had navy blue hair and azure eyes. He was wearing a black pair of pants, black sneakers, and a green shirt with the words Made written in red across it. The other guy with him looked at Mei Lin and he was wearing black pants, and a red Puma shirt. The other was wearing dark navy blue pants, and white shirt with Linkin Park written on it with black marker.

"Who's your friend, Jade?" The navy blue haired guy said.

"Eriol, this is Kinomoto Sakura, she's a new student." Jade said introducing me to him.

"Hello, Kinomoto-san, I'm Hiiragazawa Eriol, but you can call me Eriol." The navy blue haired guy said bowing and I did the same.

"I'm Chao." The guy who was looking at Mei Lin said. "The one in the Linkin Park shirt is Michael."

"Please just call me Sakura, that goes for all of you." I replied and smiled at them.

"I hate to break up this little happy get together, but we have to get to the gym, if we don't want to be in trouble." A voice said from behind me, and I turned and saw someone our age, dressed in dark navy blue pants, black sneakers, and a green Good Charlotte shirt, his dark brown hair was spiked, and the tips and roots of his hair were red.

"Yea, whatever Drave." Jade said and started to lead me towards the gym, going past Drave, as we walked.

At the end of school

"Jade." I shouted running out of the school after her.

She turned around and smiled at me and waved me towards a wall near the schools entrance. I nodded and started over there. Jade made it there before me and she jumped to the top of the wall and sat down next to Eriol.

"Sakura." Eriol greeted me as he and Jade pulled me up next to them.

"My cousin is taking his sweet time." Jade remarked looking towards the school's front door where Syaoran was standing talking to his friends. "That's it. I'm going to be late for work if he talks anymore." Jade leapt down and ran towards Syaoran. "Syaoran, get that ass in gear or we'll be late for work and Auntie Yelen won't like that one bit."

"Crap, I forgot about work." Syaoran shouted waving bye to his friends who smiled and nodded hello to Jade before they walked off.

"Hello Sakura-chan." Syaoran said as they stopped right below us.

"Syaoran-kun." I said and jumped down, next to Jade as everyone awwed.

"Hey Sakura do you think you could come to our house with us? I want to introduce you to my aunt and my cousins." Jadeasked and I nodded.

"Sure just let me tell my brother." I said, "Jade why don't you come with me, he likes to know those people whose house I'm going over."

"Yup, lets go." Jade said and threw a pair of keys at Syaoran who caught them and started towards the student parking lot.

We started towards the Toyota Highlander and when we got there my brother who was leaning up against the passenger door stood straight up. He looked at Jade with a curious gleam in his brown eyes.

"You took your sweet time Sakura, mom said we have to hurry if where going to look for a house. So lets go." Touya said opening the passenger door.

"Touya I'm sorry, but Jade wanted to know if I could meet her family and see her house." I wined really wanting to go to Jade's and Syaoran's.

"Kinomoto-san," Jade said bowing, "If you are looking for a place to stay, your family can stay with mine, we have plenty of room."

"No, we couldn't put your family out." Touya said and Jade smirked.

"As I said we have plenty of room and I mean that when I say it." Jade said, "Just follow my car to the house as Sakura called it. We can call your parents when we get there. I won't take no for an answer."

"But . . ." Touya started.

"Get in that car and follow the silver Toyota spider that's coming towards us." Jade said and started to pull me towards the convertible.
