"Don't worry Touya! I'm grown up. I'll be just like Mom, fighting until the end!" Sakura said defiantly.
"The end, that's what I'm afraid of." Touya mumbled sadly.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you." Sakura asked innocently.
"Nothing nothing come on let's get to the office quickly I don't want you late on your first day." Touya smiled and heaved the heavy double doors open.
"Touya look! The ceiling! It's so high! Higher then the gym ceiling at my old school!" Sakura pointed. Touya looked slightly annoyed but laughed at his sister's childish behaviour. Touya then bent down to Sakura's level and looked her in the eye.
"Sakura, you have to promise me something." Touya whispered.
"Uhm yeah ok sure what?" Sakura asked uneasily.
"Do not tell anyone where we live or what school you used to go to. Promise me that you won't tell anyone anything. It will be even more dangerous here if you reveal such information. The kids that go to this damned school won't be so friendly once they found out. What a bunch of shallow bi-" Touya said before Sakura cutted him off.
"OK Touya I understand. It's sad though at my old school people didn't care. I don't know why I have to be so different to all the people here. Touya I don't care if people know I'm poor. I don't care. That's how I live. So what? I'm not ashamed, maybe you are, but you need to move on! I know what this is all about." Sakura's eyes darkened. Touya glared at Sakura before silently walking out of the school.

"My first class I can do this yes I can." Sakura murmured standing in front of Room 114. 'The door's closed maybe I should knock?' wondered Sakura.
knock knock
Sakura waited patiently for the teacher or a student or anybody to answer the door. But after five minutes Sakura gave up. Turning around to go home Sakura came face to face with a weary amethyst eyed girl. The girl was staring intently at Sakura in deep thought.
'Oh my gosh she's going to burn a hole through my head oh my oh my Touya help me!!!' Sakura silently prayed in her head.
"Oh hello I never knew that you were here to help set up the auditorium as well. Follow me I need all the help I can get." the girl smiled and pulled Sakura by the arm down the hallway.
"But wait I wasn't going to..." Sakura said bewildered. 'Who is this girl? And why is she making me follow her?!?!' Questions swirled inside Sakura's head as the mysterious amethyst eyed girl continued to lead Sakura down the hallways. Abruptly the girl stopped and pushed open a large red door. The girl and Sakura walked in. Sakura gasped at the sight.
Hundreds and hundreds of chairs in rows and large red curtains, a very large stage and enormous lights. Not to mention the highest ceiling Sakura had ever saw. 'Holy crap this place looks bigger then a skyscraper!' Sakura thought still standing with her mouth wide open.
"Come on hurry up!" the mysterious girl called out to Sakura.
"Hey Tomoyo glad you could make it. Who're you talking to?" a boy suddenly appeared in front of the velvet curtains. With his navy blue hair and glasses, as well as that sly look he had, Sakura thought he resembled the cheschire cat from "Alice in Wonderland."
The boy then slowly approached the girl named Tomoyo and gave her a quizzical look.
"Don't worry Eriol. she's just here to help set up the auditorium." Tomoyo waved her hand as if it weren't a big deal. The boy named Eriol averted his gaze to Sakura and for the second time this morning Sakura felt the uneasy feeling as someone stared at her. Having finally found her voice, Sakura spoke up.
"I'm new here at the school. I was about to go to class but then....Tomoyo is it? Yeah she pulled me over here assuming I was going to help her erm..set up the auditorium or whatever." Sakura said sheepishly. Eriol's eyes danced and Tomoyo looked shocked.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I saw you this morning when you came into the school and I just thought since you were standing, waiting in front of the music room that you were waiting for Mrs.Robertson to come and lead you to the audi-.... ah nevermind that I'm so sorry!!" Tomoyo said frantically holding her hands together in a pleading well. Sakura sweatdropped.
"Uhm it's ok I suppose. I still want to help you do whatever you guys are doing! Ehehe... wait doesn't class start yet?" Sakura asked confused.
"Well actually not until another hour. Maybe we should show you around the school after we're finished so then you don't end up coming here an hour early and mistaking the music room for you're homeroom..." Eriol chuckled. Sakura laughed nervously.
"Ok so let's get started!" Eriol declared running down and disappearing behind the stage.
"Yup let's go! Oh wait Sakura before we start who was that really hot guy you were with this morning?!!? The tall one who you were talking to! He looked soo cool and mysterious and yet maybe he's one of them quiet sensitive guys I could go with that..." Tomoyo went on and on and on. Sakura stared at Tomoyo scratching her head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shut your trap Eriol I'm trying to show Sakura where everything is. Ok this is cafeteria one, and the one across from it is cafeteria 2. Never I mean never go in cafeteria 1, even though the food smells great it's restricted to the 8th graders! Go in there and I'll be saying it was nice knowing you. Cafeteria 2 has great soup on Monday's, but not on Thursday so you've been warned. Next is the classrooms. That one is room 114, that's 115, that's 116...." Tomoyo talked on and on and on like a, well, bubbly 12 year old girl who's had too much coffee.
It was hard to tell if Sakura was processing any of the information that Tomoyo was giving her. Eriol caught Sakura's anxious eyes and whispered "It will get easier as the days go buy." Sakura nodded slightly reassured. Tomoyo finally stopped and twirled around facing Sakura.
"I just remembered! You haven't even met Li yet! How rude of us he must be all pissed off at Eriol and I for not meeting him at the cherry blossom tree but that's ok come one let's go!" Tomoyo giggled dashing off. Eriol shrugged and ran after Tomoyo. Sakura stood there at the spot blinking.
"Uhm...Oh YEAH WAIT FOR ME THOUGH!!!" Sakura yelled when she realized she was supposed to follow them.
