Chapter One

Sakura Kinotomo, a 17 year old honey-haired girl, was sitting in her class waiting for the sensei to assign them something to do. All of her classmates had seen this once cheery girl change into a proper goody-goody girl since their three week school trip to Hong Kong. Everyone wondered what happened, but no one dare ask. As she was sitting there, the sensei entered the classroom, but not alone.

Behind her where was she presumed to be three new students.

"Good Morning students! Today we will be reciving three new classmates. Isnt that exciting? Well, they come from Hong Kong and let's leave the rest for their introduction." Looking at the three new people, she said "Why dont you introduce yourselves"

Sakura was writing down something on her notebook and didnt notice who the new students were. Specially the one who couldnt take his eyes off of her.

" Ohayo, my name is Daidouji Tomoyo but you may all call me Tomoyo. I am originally from Japan, but moved to Hong Kong and came back here. I love designing clothes and filming!", a beautiful raven-haired girl said as she took out her handicam and filmed her class, who sweatdropped and laughed uncomfortably.

"I'm Eriol. You must excuse MY girlfriend here who, hehe, has an..an..obsession with filming. Hope you dont mind.", said a dark blue-haired guy who wore glasses but still managed to look cute in a geeky way.

Everyone's eyes were on the third student, who was they most handsome, everyone's eyes except Sakura's of course. He didnt say anything until Eriol hit him in the stomach with his elbow.

"Okay, okay! I'll say something." he whispered. "I'm Li Syaoran. You must call me Li. I'm the future leader of the Li Clan and anyone who bothers my friends here, or Sakura will have to deal with me."

At the sound of her name, Sakura raised her head from her notebook and only to fond dreaded amber eyes staring at her emerald ones. She couldnt beleive who was infront of her and decided it was just a nightmare. She glared at him and frowned, knowing her life was now ruined.

"Well, heheh...I'm sure no one will bother you..hehe", said the sensei. "Since you seem to know Kinomoto very well, why dont you take the empty seat to her right. And Hiragizawa (spelling?) and Daidouji can seat together and the empty seat in the back of the classroom"

As Syaoran went to take a seat next to Sakura, he murmured in her ear "Yes, I'm back and I wont give up." He then took her hand and gently kissed it seeing her face go red and loving seeing every second of it.

She harshly took her hand back and almost yelled "My answer, will still be No!"

"Miss Kinomoto, please lower your voice! We're in a classroom and not in a soccer game. Keep you screaming for the game! For that, you will have to spend lunch inside the classroom for the rest of the two days. I'm dissapointed in you." said the sensei.

"I'm sorry, sensei. It won't happen again and I'll gladly take my punishment."replied Sakura as the hit Syaoran with her elbow on his stomach for murmuring "or save the yelling for the bedroom" and licking her ear.

Sakura 'gladly' took this punishment for it meant not seeing or talking to Syaoran during lunch time.But boy was she wrong.

Lunch

Sakura was glad to have lunch for herself. She was fuming at the fact that Syaoran had ALL her classes and ALL of them, he sat near her. She carefully went to look for her lunchbox, but couldn't find it. She pouted and sat quietly in her seat. After 10 minutes, she was about to fall asleep when a weird noise coming from the window startled her. She drowsily went to see what it was and saw nothing. She turned away when she heard the sound again and look below and saw Syaoran. He was throwing rocks at the window.

She was too sleepy and hungy to yell at him , so she just opened the window and asked," What the hell do you want?"

He climbed the tree skilfully and entered the classroom.

"Hi.", he said, almost blushing.

"Did you came here to just say 'Hi'!?! What are you doing here?"

"Well, I came here to see if you wanted to share this chocolate cake piece with me."

At the sound of food, her eyes were no longer sleepy. god was she hungry.

"I meant...What the fuck are you doing here in Japan."

"Oh, heh, um.. my mom! Yes, my mom wanted me to learn more of the japanese culture and thought it would be nice if I spent my senior year here." he said hoping she would buy this excuse.

"Nice try Li. We both know that's not the reason. So just stop stalking me! It's over. We didnt have anything. We wont have."

"How can you say that Sakura. It did mean something to me."

"Ugh! It's Kinomoto to you."

"Sa- Kinomoto, I'm willing to start all over again. To make you see I am worthy. Just give me a chance."

"No."

"I wont give up.", he said. Sakura barely heard him. He was about to go out the door when he hear Sakura's stomach grumble. Sakura murmured something but he couldnt hear. He closed the door he was about to go out from and stood very close to Sakura. Their noses almost touching.

" It seems your stomach betrays you. Have you changed your mind?"

"Ej..umm.. well.." she said shyly as the found her feet extremly interesting.

"You don't have to say anything." He said, as he took his cake piece from his backpack and handed it to her.

"Here" he said and took off.

"Thanks" she said, when she thought he couldnt hear her anymore, but he could, for he was sitting just next to the door in the hall.

"Besides," he mumbled to himself, " the best way to one's heart is through the stomach"

Sakura really loved the dessert, she even licked her fingers, which she neved had done. As she went to her next class with a grin in her face, she bumped into someone, which caused her to fall in her butt on the floor.

"Oh my, it was my fault, I'm sorry, pretty lady." the hard wall she bumped into said as he offered his arm.

"My name's Todd."

"Kinomoto."

"So, Kinomoto, tell me, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me, someday?"

"No"

"Oh come on, dont be a bitch"

Syaoran heard all the conversation and was getting angrier and angrier and calling Sakura a bitch was the limit. He went to the Todd guy and punched him in the nose.

"Syao- Li! You didnt have to do that" said Sakura, although she didnt went to see how Todd was.

"Nobody calls my Sakura a bitch" he said to Todd, ignoring Sakura as he went to hit Todd again.

"Im sorry! No need to fight. Im off!" Todd said as he ran away from Syaoran.

There was quite a crowd now surrounding them.

"That's what will happen to anyone who insults or harms in any way to Sakura".he said, giving all of them a death glare.

"Li! It's Kinomoto, and I dont need you to fight for me. I'm fine by myself."

"Of course you are, you are very, very fine" he said, although not referring at her survival skills.

"Ugh! Just keep away from me Li!" she said as she stormed off to her next class, P.E. but she dropped and note as she left.

Syaoran picked up the note and it read:

Thank you for the piece of cake Li. I really needed it.

P.S. This doesnt mean we are friends or that I even like you.

As Syaoran read the letter hope began to rise in his heart. Maybe he would have a chance after all.
