She's Got The Beat
By ForevernAlwayz
Summary- Sakura Kinomoto was the quiet type...until she moved to Hong Kong for college. Home of the hippest college rock bands, Hong Kong, China, is a scene. And Sakura is dying to break out of her small-town shell. So she decides to do something totally un-Sakura: learn to play the drums.
When crashing the cymbals, the girl's a wild child! Plus there's a perk to her new gig: a cute bass player. Unfortunately Mr. Bass Man isn't exactly looking for love. Can this rocker chick change his tune? Or does finding her own rhythm mean sacrificing true love?

"talking"
(me interrupting)
Oh yes…this story will never be in Syaoran's POV because I can't let you people know how he feels! Only in Tomoyo's POV and Sakura's POV!
I walked into the music store and examined it.
My emerald moved slowly around the room looking at guitars, drums, trumpets and many more.
Finally her eyes landed on a hip old man. (he's like old but still in fashion just in case you're confused)
"Hi" I said softly
He smiled at me and he's blue eyes were filled with kindness.
"Hi. How my I help you?" he asked
I handed him the ad.
"Ah…You're looking for Paul" he said
And just on cue, came a handsome looking man who looked like he was in his 20's.
He looked like he was 5'9.
He wore jeans and a white t-shirt.
"Hi" he said and gave a bright smile
"Hi" I said smiling back
"Are you here for the drum lessons?" he asked
His black hair was gelled and looked shiny that gave him his handsome look.
To complete it his sharp brown eyes could pierce any girl fooling them that they were in heaven.
"Uh…yea…" I said looking at the floor stumbling with words
"Okay then. Follow me please" he's smile turned into a smirk as I blushed still looking at the amazing floor
It was a blue tile with swirls.
How lovely. Don't cha think?
He led me to a basement where 2 pairs of drums were.
He got behind a blue one and pointed his fine wooden drumsticks to a pink one.
I got behind it.
I sat down on the seat as he started hitting the drum to a rhythm.
I listened to the beat as I picked up the sticks and started playing his rhythm adding some of my made up rhythm to it.
Paul had stopped playing and stared at me as I continued playing.
Finally as I looked up there he was staring at me.
I blushed and stopped.
"Sorry" I said with a small smile
"That was amazing. Non of my other students usually picked up my beat and added their own. Are you sure you're not pro?" he asked
"Nope. Came from a small town where they find girl drummers to be strange because we aren't all that wild" I said
"You sure looked wild just then" he said with a chuckle
"Thanks" I said not sure of what to say
"Hey. Why don't you sit right here while I get you you're very own set" he said
But before I could say anything, he got up and left me there behind the pink drum set.
I smiled and couldn't control myself as I felt myself start playing a tune out of nowhere!
I nodded my head to the beat as I hit the drums with more passion every time.
When I stopped I saw Paul looking at me with a smile on his face.
He walked over to me and handed me the set.
"Here." He said
I took the set.
It was a huge box.
"Oh um…I only have 10 dollars on me. I didn't change my money into Hong Kong money yet" I said
"It's okay. The drum lessons are just 5 dollars." He said with a warm smile
"Okay." I said and handed him my 10 dollars as he took it
"How much is the drum set?" I asked
"5 dollars" he said once again
"Okay" I said as I followed him up to the music store again.
"Thanks for the lesson kinda…" I said
"It's okay. Oh yea…I never got your name" he said
"Oh…it's Sakura Kinomoto" I said
"Mine's Paul Chen and this here" he said pointing to the man behind the counter who was the hip old man "is John."
"Well it was nice meeting you Paul and John" I said and waved good bye
I walked out of the store with a huge box in my hand as I smiled to myself.
I made my way back to Tomoyo's mansion.
I opened the door to find no one there.
I went up to my room as I started un-packing the drums.
I put it all together as I started playing.
Soon it was 6:00.
Damn…time flies when you're having fun!
Tomoyo came in my room to find my playing on the drums to a tune.
She nodded her head to the rhythm,
"Nice tune" she said when I finished playing
Her purple hair was in a high ponytail and her purple eyes were glimmering.
She wore a jeans and a purple t-shirt that said "Rocker Chick"
"Mind if I try your rhythm?" she asked
In her right hand was her purple guitar.
I shook my head as I began my beat again.
Tomoyo closed her eyes and concentrated on the beat as she started plucking on her guitar.
Meiling came in nodding her head to the beat.
We soon stopped.
"THAT WAS AMAZING!" shouted Meiling
"Thanks" I said with a soft smile
I have never done such a thing!
My dad would kill me if he found out.
"Where did you get the kit?" asked Tomoyo
"Oh…I saw this ad so I decided to take up drumming" I said
Meiling and Tomoyo nodded their head.
We walked out of my pink room and down to the dining room where there was fancy food everywhere.
"Reminds me of home" I said
The two girls smiled and sat down and pointed to a pink chair.
Meiling had sat down in a red chair and Tomoyo in a purple one.
I sat down onto the cushiony chair.
We began to eat in silence as it ended in silence.
I went up to my private bathroom which was also pink.
Who knew?
I took a cold shower with ever coldness sending me shivers up my spine.
I got out and dried my went body.
I put on my pj's which consist of a pink tank top that said .:.Princess.:. And bottoms which were shorts since it was the summer.
I sat down on my huge pink bed and laid my head on top of the pink pillow.
Why do I feel so bored?
Why me?
I heaved a huge sigh.
I started to think as I dosed off.
NEXT DAY
I blinked and rubbed my eyes as my vision came to me slowly.
I blinked once again as I saw everything nice and clearly.
Wonderful.
The bright yellow sun was shining into my room as it hit my face.
I moved out of the way and into the bathroom.
I brushed my hair into a ponytail.
My hair is like almost waist long.
I brushed my teeth and looked at myself.
My auburn hair seemed less dull.
My emerald eyes looked happy to me.
I sighed and walked out.
I don't know why…but too much sighing is bad for my health I think.
I sighed once again.
DUD!
STOP SIGHING!
Ugh…
God…I must be going insane talking to myself like this!
I walked over to my walk in closet a walked in.
I took out my pink cherry blossom Capri's and a white t-shirt.
I walked downstairs to find Tomoyo and Meiling eating breakfast in the dining room.
"Hey" said Meiling lookup form the newspaper she was reading
"Good Morning" I greeted
"Morning" said Tomoyo as she resumed eating her cereal
I grabbed a bowl on the table and some Lucky Charms and some cold milk.
I poured the milk into the bowl and then the cereal.
I started eating.
Tomoyo slammed her spoon down.
"Let's go Sakura, Meiling. We got classes to head to" she said
I stopped eating and Meiling stopped reading.
Tomoyo grabbed her keys and Meiling did the same.
Me…I was just like o.O.
"Come on. I can give you a lift in my car" said Tomoyo with a smile
Her purple eyes danced with amusement.
She wore a purple mini skirt and a purple tank top that said .:.You're Just Jealous Because We're Young & In Love!.:. (dude…she ain't no slut!)
Meiling was also looking at me.
Her red eyes looked at me smiling as well as her ruby red lips.
She wore a red mini skirt and a bloody red tank top that said .:.Rocker Chick.:.
They looked at me.
"You have exactly 5 minutes to change" they said
"Change?" I questioned
"You see, me and Tomoyo are the most wanted popular girls in the college. We are known to wear mini skirts and stuff that make us who we are. Though we aren't sluts. They have their own leaders and shit. We're just popular and smart with good looks. It's a lethal combination. People who are seen with us wear mini skirts Sakura" Replied Meiling
I sighed once again.
I'm going to be sick with all those sighs.
I rushed upstairs and into my walk in closet I went.
I grabbed a pair of short and a pink tank top that said .:.Never Give Up On The Things That Make You Smile.:.
I changed and they gave me the raised eyebrow look other wise known as the questioning look.
"Mini Skirt" said Meiling
"No way!" I protested
"Gotta" said Tomoyo
I sighed and up to my room I went again.
I took out my pink mini skirt and changed.
I walked downstairs as they looked at me with happiness dancing in their eyes.
"Ew…a skirt…" I said
"Look…at that college…we're known for wearing skirts…we're the most wanted girls…if they see u in jeans with us at school dude…rep at stake" said Meiling
I sighed.
Kami!
Enough with the sighing!
I got into Tomoyo's silver car and Meiling got into her red car.
They drove to the college parking lot.
We got out of the car with guys staring at them.
Tomoyo had put on a pair of purple sunglasses.
Meiling had a pair of red one.
I had a pair of pink sunglasses.
At the side were cherry blossoms.
I put them on.
All the boy's looked at us.
Especially me.
The new girl of their group.
We walked o our classes.
First Period: English.
We walked down the hallway with guys drooling at us with some guy's jaws wide open.
All of a sudden some girl stops us.
I was looking at the floor so I lift my head up to see this girl wearing a mini skirt and a black tube top.
In back of her was 2 girls wearing a pink mini skirt and a white tube top and a blonde wearing a mini and a red tube top.
"Move it" said Tomoyo in a stern voice
"No. Just because you think you're all that doesn't mean you are!" said the girl
She had light blue eyes and jet black hair in a ponytail.
"Look Courtney. Move your fat ass out of our way right now before I make you!" threatened Meiling to the girl identified as Courtney now
"Like what can you do. I'm sure I can get Syaoran to make to kick your ass" she said smirking
Syaoran?
o.O?
Update please.
Whose Syaoran?
"You stay away from my cousin you freak okay? He doesn't like you so get over that fact!" said a furious Meiling
"No. He wants me so badly. I know it" she said (dude…what such a sadist she is!)
"No he doesn't!" screamed Meiling
She had clenched her fist and they were very white right now.
Meiling flung her fist at Courtney which hit her cheek very hard.
Courtney fell to the ground as her two friends went to her aid.
"You stay away from him you low life bitch. You too you bitches(meaning her Courtney's friends)" growled Meiling
Ouch…I don't pity them though.
Tomoyo and Meiling walked away as I stumbled to catch up with them.
"Who was that?" I asked
"That was Courtney. The school slut." Answered Meiling
She was still clutching her fist.
"Oh yea. I'm having a party tonight Sakura" said Tomoyo with a cheerful smile
"Yup. Better be prepared" said Meiling leaving me confused
We arrived at the English class.
"Class. We have a new student today" announced the teacher
I walked in with boy's just staring at me.
Freaks.
"You may sit next to Tomoyo and Meiling" said the teacher
I smiled and sat next to them as they smiled at me too.
This was going to be a long day as the teacher started giving this lecture about something.
My head was in La-La land as I went from class to class.
Done!
Next chapter at the party Sakura meets Syaoran.
PlEaSe ReViEw!
PlEaSe AnD tHaNk YoU!
