Randy the Random Wasn't Me: Thank you soooo much for your review! Wow, that was a really huge compliment! I'll try to keep the characters not OOC (by the way, does that mean out of character? I kinda am...behind...lol)!! Thank you!!!

Mei fa-chan: I'm gonna keep on writing! Haha, thank you so much for your review!

Oh, I just thought of something. I got the idea from "The Princess and the Pauper". It's a really good book by the way. I don't know if I can keep this up and it might be a tad bit...okay, VERY, confusing, but I'm going to go from third person perspective, then Sakura's POV, then Syaoran's POV. Or would that be annoying? I'll just do that for this chapter, but if you don't like it, tell me.

Chapter Three: I'd Just Stare Out My Window

((Sakura's POV))

"Are you okay, Tomoyo?" I asked her and she nodded.

"I-it...It's that boy from my dreams..." she whispered frightfully. He, too, walked in a slow fashion towards the center of the foyer and stopped. He turned around towards Tomoyo and gave her a look, I couldn't decipher what the look was saying. It seemed to have multiple meanings.

But either way, it seemed as though that our dreams have both awaken into reality.

((Syaoran's POV))

"Hey, Xiao Lang." Eriol whispered into my ear. He seemed a bit nervous as he gave a look back to the two girls behind us. He quickly snapped back and then whispered, "They are looking at me...Xiao Lang, they are LOOKING AT ME!"

I looked over at him with a raised brow and then replied coolly, "So?" He nervously glanced at me and then whispered, "And they are both really cute."

Slowly, I craned my neck back casually to look at the girls. I secretly hoped that they weren't staring our direction. Luckily, they weren't looking at us any longer. Instead, they were chatting among themselves quietly and I was quite relieved for that fact.

I stared at both of the girls; they both really were quite attractive. However, one of the girls really stood out to me. I couldn't exactly figure out why, but she just really got to me. Her auburn hair, those green eyes, wow, those eyes were so captivating. I felt myself giving in to those emerald eyes, those deep orbs, the kind of eyes that just peered right into your soul.

"Hey Xiao Lang...Xiao Lang!" Eriol called while nudging me. My head instantly snapped towards him and then I rapidly shook my head.

"Yeah?" I asked while shaking those thoughts from my head. That girl was definitely getting to me.

((Flashback))

I was just sitting at my bed, bored. Sis told me that I was going to go to Mei Ling's oh so wonderful, big, and gorgeous house today. Oh joy. One of her slutty friend's house. Exactly what I needed to liven up my boring life. Then again, Xue Fang told me that I could bring someone with me. Thank god she let me do that. Of course, I had chosen Eriol. He would understand my life. But then of course Xue Fang would never understand-

"XIAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOW LAAAAAAAAAAAANG!" A familiar, but annoying sound floated up the stairs. Angrily, I flung open the door and shouted, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!" to greet not only my sister, but my mother as well. She gave me a surprised look and then sternly said, "I do NOT want you to use that kind of language while you are in my house!" I nodded, my face looking at the ground, an evident blush signaling humiliation crawling up my face.

It's spelled Xiao Lang, but when you pronounce it, it's Shiaow Lang. So, as a result, you have that big OWWW sound at the end when you enunciate his name in Chinese.

"Now, Xiao Lang. Since you are going to stay at Mei Ling's house for the following weeks, I want you to understand these rules." My mom began. Oh joy, I would love to hear some regulations of the Mei Ling house.

"One, remember your manners. Mei Ling is a person of high-class and she probably cannot tolerate any such of that." Figures, she'd probably faint if she saw a strand of hair that's out of place.

"Two, don't do anything inappropriate. I know that you are a growing boy, Xiao Lang, but you must understand that I do not want you getting drunk or doing other certain...things." What was THAT supposed to mean???

"Last but not least, I want you to respect Mei Ling's cousin, Sakura Kinomoto. I believe she is bringing a friend along and I advise you to respect her, too." My mother said looking at me straight in the eye. I secretly shivered. It wasn't a very comfortable thing to have your mom stare at you like that.

"Yes, mother..." I replied and walked off. Oh boy, what a wonderful year. Staying at a house with 3 sluts and your petty annoying sister. Little did I know that this was to change the way I saw myself, the world, and most of all, other people.

((End of Flashback))

"Hey Xiao Lang...Xiao Lang??! God, it's like you don't have ears anymore." Eriol said while shaking me rather violently. While having that flashback, I did not even notice the fact that I walked all the way upstairs into a room, which was supposedly mine.

"Sorry, Eriol. What were you saying?" I asked while walking over to the bed. I could hear the distinct voice of my sister screaming at a maid, demanding where Mei Ling was. Apparently, the idiotic girl left to go shopping.

Eriol stood at the doorway, looking quite worried. Sighing, I sat down and buried my face into my hands.

"Sorry, man. I am so fazed out today..." I murmured. Eriol's expression only became more worried and he walked over and sat on the floor.

"I was asking you what you thought about that girl." He began, looking at nothing in particular. Could he be falling for that pret- emerald-eyed girl, too? I mean, could he be falling for that green-eyed annoying kid? Or was it that other one, with the black hair?

"Which one?" I questioned, looking up at Eriol.

He shook his head and then replied, "You know...the one with those purple eyes and pretty long black hair..." Oh. So it was the one with the black hair.

"What about her?" I asked again. Some annoyance seemed to flash across Eriol's glasses, almost seemingly as a warning. Quite frightened, I racked my brains and remembered his question, so I quickly replied, "Yeah, she's okay...did you find her name?"

"I think it was-"

"TOOOOOOOMOOOOOOOYOOOOOOO!!!" a high pitched scream filled the entire mansion and I quickly plugged my ears. Looking at the doorway, I saw a girl quickly run by in very odd-looking clothing. After a couple of minutes, I saw her coming back from the opposite direction dragging that girl with the amethyst eyes and black hair, which I guessed to be Tomoyo. I looked at the one that was dragging Tomoyo and realized that it was that girl I saw downstairs at the foyer with the auburn hair and those deep emerald eyes.

She was wearing the oddest clothing. It was a tight-fitting dress that went up to around mid-thigh. The dress was purple and yellow and she was wearing fishnet stockings, a jester hat, and jester shoes.

It looked so funny that I began cracking up. The girl looked at me angrily and then shouted, "What the hell is so funny!" It wasn't exactly a question, it was more of a demand. Wow, that girl sure had guts. If only she knew who I was, heir to the Li Clan.

When I calmed down, I replied, "Your outfit...if you can call it one." This time, she wasn't exactly angry, but Tomoyo sure was. Red-faced and teary-eyed, she began shouting at me, calling me every bad thing there was on Earth. From pig-nosed to duck-footed. I didn't know there was such a thing.

After Tomoyo stormed out calling both Eriol and me "jerks", the girl looked at me sympathetically.

"You shouldn't have said that. She worked really hard on this outfit and you just insulted it. That was really mean." She said. Although her tone was soft, her voice was coated with malice and disgust. I suddenly felt guilty.

Argh, Syaoran! How can you let this girl make you feel guilty? It wasn't even a good outfit! Obviously, Tomoyo has no sense in clothing!...Oi, poor Eriol...falling for THAT girl...

Glaring at the girl, I spat, "Well, it wasn't a good outfit, so why should I like it? And it makes you look really stupid."

A flash of hurt went through her face and I felt a pang of regret. At first silence was all that there was. Then, tension filled the air and I felt even worse.

"Whatever, you...jerk." She said. "I don't know why I thought that you of all people could be nice. At least your blue-eyed friend there didn't make any nasty remarks about Tomoyo's outfit. Obviously, he was forced to come along with you. I mean, who would want to spend some time with you?"

Ouch, that really hurt.

With that she stomped off. I looked over at Eriol, who glared at me.

"OH GREAT!" he shouted, hands flying in the air. "Now Tomoyo HATES me! And what did I do, may I ask? NOTHING!"

"You like her or something?" I asked, although I fully knew he did, looking at Eriol, who was breathing in and out, trying to debate whether he should try punching me or not. But all in all, he knew that he couldn't even touch me before flying through the wall.

Eriol only shot me a glare and then replied, "How can I? She HATES me. Get the picture? HATES ME! And why?" He paused as if waiting for me to answer. When I didn't, he shouted, "Because YOU had to open YOUR BIG MOUTH and make fun of HER taste in clothing! And now she thinks that I think the same way!"

I said nothing except for a simple, "Sorry." The tension in the air began settling down and soon, Eriol's breathing was slowing down back to normal.

When Eriol finally calmed down, he quietly said, "I'll go to my room now. Meet you at dinner. Call me."

Then, he left me in my silent room as I plopped down onto the bed. Oh great. Now the whole world seemed against me. And what did I do? Just open my big mouth.

I dunno where this is going...I'm serious. I really have no idea. But all in all, seems like everyone hates Syaoran now...poor him. Remember, review!!! ;;
