Chapter 2
Reunion!
-Few weeks later-
Sakura was really nervous when she reached the school it was the first day of classes "Sakura!" Sakura turned around to see Tomoyo running towards her
"Ohayou Tomoyo-chan" Sakura greeted forcing a smile.
"What's wrong Sakura? You don't look happy." Tomoyo asked worriedly.
"Iie, I'm ok Tomoyo-chan I'm just really nervous" Sakura said. While they were walking towards their locker they saw a crowd of girls forming a circle.
"Poor Syaoran-kun" Tomoyo said as they saw the crowd screaming and giggling
"what did you say?" Sakura asked Tomoyo.
"You see Sakura-chan Syaoran is really popular and all those girls…" she said pointing towards the crowd of girls.
"…I bet they're all a member of his fansclub" Tomoyo finished with a sigh.
"What?" was the only thing that Sakura could say. She can't believe that Syaoran is really popular among girls.
"Ok Sakura here's your locker" Tomoyo stopped walking and pointed Sakura's Locker.
"I'll see you later then." Sakura said while waving at Tomoyo.
After Tomoyo left, two guys walk towards Sakura. "Hey! Got a name?" a guy with black hair and green eyes asked Sakura. The other guy that stands beside him has an evil smile painted on his face, he has a blond hair and a brown eyes.
"They look evil what do they want from me?" Sakura thought still looking at the guys who disturbed her.
"What's that look for?" The guy with blond hair said. Sakura backed away a little when the other guy grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" she shouted but the guy won't let her go.
"Leave her alone!" a voice suddenly came from the back said the two guys turned.
"What do you want now Li?" the black haired boy asked dropping Sakura's hand.
"Stop harassing others just because they don't want to give their names to the likes of you" Syaoran said.
Krrrrrriiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggg…
"Save by the bell Li, we'll continue this some other time" the dark haired boy said.
"Whatever" was Syaoran's only reply. The two strangers went away after giving Sakura a final evil smile.
"No need to thank me" Syaoran said to Sakura.
"Who would?" Sakura said as she turned her back and walked away.
-Later-
"Ok, class is about to start again but before we do that there's a new classmate that I'd like you to meet" the teacher said.
"Miss kinomoto please come here." she added. Sakura walked towards the lady whose hair is in a bun and wears glasses, while she's walking to the front of the classroom, the class seems to loose their silence; there are girls telling how pretty she is and guys agreeing with them.
"Hello I'm Kinomoto Sakura, nice to meet you all." She introduced herself as soon as she reached the front. Sakura saw her classmates, Tomoyo is waving at her
"I'm glad Tomoyo-chan is my classmate" she then smiled but take it back as soon as she saw the guy in the back of Tomoyo.
"Syaoran? So he's here too huh?" she thought. Girls started to get annoyed when they saw Syaoran and Sakura staring at each other and when the two of them noticed it they quickly turned away.
"Ok Kinomoto you may sit at the vacant sit beside Li." The teacher said. "What!" the girls in the class said as they glare at Sakura who's walking towards Syaoran.
"Darn it could my day get any worst?" Syaoran said while watching Sakura sit beside him.
"Look Syaoran, It's not as if I like sitting beside an arrogant brat like you." Sakura said glaring at Syaoran.
"Whatever, just don't talk to me and we'll be fine." Syaoran said starting to get annoyed.
"Who would want to talk to the likes of you?" Sakura murmured
"Hey you should consider yourself lucky, incase you don't know there are lots of them."
"You're really arrogant." Sakura glared at him.
"Whatever." Was Syaoran's only reply.
Sakura's now walking towards her locker, class is over and its time for the students to go home.
"What a long day!" she said as she pushes through the crowd of students who's also racing to get to their lockers
"I wonder why that Syaoran Li is so different from the Syaoran I used to know." She thought as she remembers how bad her day was because Syaoran kept telling her how noisy she is when she tries to talk to Tomoyo or how annoying she is.
"It seems as if he's watching my every move." She said to herself as she reached her destination only to find the guy he hates the most standing beside her locker.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him.
"Obviously I'm gonna fix my things now since it's already time to go home and oh I never really like having my locker beside yours, but there's just nothing I can do about it ok?"
he said without even letting Sakura reply, he opened his locker only to find letters fall on the floor.
"Not again!" Syaoran said. Sakura laugh when she saw Syaoran's face.
"Really popular huh?" Sakura said as she open her locker only to find letters fall to the floor as well. Syaoran saw the letters that fall out of Sakura's locker and laugh.
"Well I think there are still some stupid guys left in this school huh?" Syaoran said as he watch Sakura pick up the letters and put it in her bag.
"You know what Syaoran? I think you're right" She said as she faced him and smile "Why don't you let me give you an example? Coz you see one of them is standing just infront of me right now." Sakura added and smile even more when she saw Syaoran's annoyed expression. She closed her locker turned her back then walked away
She didn't even bother to wait for Syaoran to complain.
-Kinomoto's residence-
"Kaijuu, whats with the face?" Touya asked Sakura as he saw her sat on the sofa.
"Mou…not you to nii-chan!" Sakura said as she stand up the sofa and started walking towards the stairs.
"Nee…Kaijuu are you sick or something?" Touya said wondering why Sakura didn't even try to give a fight. She usually tries to tell Touya as many insults she can until he gives up.
"No…I'm just tired, I just need some sleep." Sakura said as she head to her room.
"Man…I'm beat" Sakura said as she laid herself on the bed.
"My eyes are really heavy" Sakura said as she fell asleep.
Sakura woke up the next morning just in time for her to get herself ready. She ran into the bathroom with a towel and come out minutes later, she put her school uniform on. A white long sleeve shirt with a black ribbon and a black skirt that didn't reach her knees. After she put her uniform she brushed her hair and headed downstairs to start breakfast.
"Ohayou otou-san" Sakura greeted her father whose currently cooking breakfast.
"Ohayou okaa-san" She greeted to a picture of a beautiful woman…her mom, who died when she was just a little girl.
"Really Sakura you're so noisy, you know what time it is?" Touya said grinning
"I know, time for you to shut up!" Sakura said looking at her brother with a you're-going-down-right-now look.
"Oh I see, but I'm not the one stomping" Touya added
"I'm not stomping you are!" Sakura shouted back to her ever-so-loving brother.
"So the kaijuu's return to her original monstrous self huh?" Touya added making Sakura even more annoyed.
"I am NOT a monster nii-chan" Sakura said angrily.
"Stop that you two." Fujitaka said to the both of them while putting the breakfast on the table.
After eating Sakura headed to school she didn't even bother running she just walk on the way taking her time watching as the petals of the cherry blossoms fall on the street.
When she arrived at school she saw Tomoyo who greeted her "Ohayou sakura-chan".
"Ohayou Tomoyo" She greeted her in return and smile.
They walked towards Sakura's locker and Tomoyo accompany her when they reached Sakura's locker they saw Syaoran.
"Ohayou Syaoran" Tomoyo greeted.
"Ohayou" Syaoran reply with out even looking. Sakura started getting her things.
"Hey why don't the three of us hang out together after school?" Tomoyo said breaking the silence since no one is speaking. Syaoran and Sakura looked at her as if she's some kind of a weirdo.
"You know I remember when we were young we used to always play together so why can't we hang out now?" She continued. Sakura and Syaoran were opening their mouths to start complaining when Tomoyo said "Great! So we'll meet at soda ring after school ok?" With that she ran off not waiting for Sakura and Syaoran's reply. The two of them stand there stunned of what Tomoyo did.
"I can't believe she didn't even bother to wait for us to agree…I mean disagree" Syaoran said
"Why is Tomoyo's always like that?" Sakura said.
"I know she never changes" Syaoran said. The two of them looked at each other then back off when they notice that they're agreeing with the same thing. Sakura opened her locker and was surprised when she saw a bouquet of flower inside. She reached for it and looked at the card that said "I'll go anywhere for you"
"Who could've send this?" she thought. "Maybe someone is just playing tricks on me". She was cut with her thoughts when the bell rang.
School finally ended Syaoran went straight to soda ring since he can't do anything about it and knowing Tomoyo she would just keep asking him until he agrees. Sakura was walking alone to soda ring Tomoyo told her that she'll just catch up with them because of her sudden choir practice.
"I won't go then" Sakura remember saying to Tomoyo earlier.
"No Sakura Syaoran is probably there waiting and knowing him he'll be really pissed off if we don't go and I'm the one who invited him so it won't be right to just leave him there." Sakura remembered Tomoyo saying
"Why does it have to be him?" she thought.
When she got inside Syaoran was already there drinking a soda. When she reached him he looked at her and asks "Where's Tomoyo?"
"She suddenly had a choir practice but she promised to catch up." Sakura said while sitting at the empty seat infront of Syaoran.
"So what is this some kind of set up?" Syaoran said.
"I don't think so Syaoran Tomoyo and I were already in our way out the classroom when the instructor called her and told her that they have a practice but she said it won't take long so she'll just catch up" Sakura explained to Syaoran.
The two of them didn't talk anymore they just ate some food while waiting for Tomoyo. Sakura noticed Syaoran.
"He looked different now." She thought as she stared at his face.
Syaoran noticed Sakura staring at him.
"What? Is there a dirt on my face or something?" he asked annoyed.
"Nah" Sakura said still staring at him "I'm just wondering why girls like you I mean your not that handsome" "but he is handsome" she thought but she'll rather die than say that.
"Yeah, you're right; it's getting really annoying you know. They're always following me screaming and giggling especially Meilin"
"Who's Meilin one of the girls in your fansclub?" Sakura asked.
"No, She's my cousin, when we were younger she made me promised that as long as I can't find my true love I have to marry her." Syaoran explained
"Whoa I can't believe he's actually telling me about this" Sakura thought
"I can't believe I'm actually telling her these things." Syaoran thought to himself then looked at Sakura
"Cousin?" Sakura asked confused
"Yeah we're Chinese so it's ok for us" Syaoran explained
"Anyway I think you should be happy to know that there are lots of people who actually like you even with that attitude of yours."
"Whatever! But how I wish they just leave me alone they're starting to get on my nerves if only I could do something to get rid of them." Syaoran said
"But you could." A voice from behind said. Syaoran look at his back and saw Tomoyo.
"Sorry I'm late." She said apologetically as she walks towards Sakura and sat beside her.
"Excuse me but what did you mean by I could do something 'bout it?" Syaoran asked puzzled
"So why don't you just pretend?" Tomoyo asked him in return to his question.
"I mean why don't you just pretend to be her boyfriend?" She looked at Sakura who almost choke.
"No way, why her I mean there are lots of girls in the school" Syaoran complained
"And those lots of them actually likes you and it's not gonna work out coz it won't be fair to the others who likes you as well."
"So why not you?" Syaoran asked Tomoyo
"Come on Syaoran, I mean many people in the school know that we've been friends since we we're kids they probably won't fall for it." Tomoyo explained. "At least Sakura's been away for a long time and the only people who knew her is you, me, Rika, Naoko, Chiharu and Takashi"
"No way!" Sakura and Syaoran both exclaimed.
"Ok do as you wish I'm only giving suggestions here" Tomoyo said as she take a sip in her soda.
They go home after spending time at the soda ring Tomoyo is really happy seeing Sakura and Syaoran argue with one another "Looks like they're enjoying each others company" She thought as she remembered how Syaoran and Sakura argue earlier. "Sakura just don't know that Syaoran changed when she came back." Tomoyo added to her thoughts then smile.
