A/N: Fanfiction has started a system where you as the author can send reviews to individual comments that people logged on can send so I think I might try that. Sorry about the long wait...

I Missed You

By the next day Sakura had found herself enjoying where she was in the status of popularity. Younger students seemed to look up to her while the other seniors tried to talk to her and become her friend. Sakura frowned. It seemed that people didn't care about her personality but by the way she looked. What had made people become so shallow?

Sakura kept on walking down the halls of Reedington High, making her way to the gym that she had been in two days ago with Tomoyo. She made her way to the bleachers where other girls currently sat and talked away. She scanned over the crowd and noticed that there were five wannabes, three girls who were over-weight, four less popular girls, two juniors, three anorexic, and one girl who didn't look like she belonged there. Sakura squinted her eyes until recognition came over her. She put on a smile and came up to the girl who was currently blowing bubbles from her gum.

"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked, surprised to see her out of all people. Meilin turned and looked at Sakura, not making any sign to communicate with her and turned back and looked at her nails which were painted black. Sakura frowned but sat down next to Meilin anyways.

"You don't look like the type who'd try out to be a cheerleader," she said looking at Meilin.

"And you don't look like the type who'd get beaten up by me if you don't leave me alone," said Meilin sternly who was annoyed by Sakura at the moment. Sakura was shocked for a second before glaring at her.

"I'm not scared of you or anyone else," she told her

"Didn't seem like that by the way you acted when that guy made a move on you," said Meilin. Sakura blushed in embarrassment. Meilin was right.

"Shut up," she said.

"I knew it," said Meilin with a little laugh.

"Whatever... at least I have a better chance at making the team than you do," said Sakura, thinking that she was better than Meilin.

"Why? Because you look like another one of those skanks? Trust me Kinomoto... it takes talent to become a cheerleader,"

"And you think that you have skill?" asked Sakura who was going to give Meilin a piece of her mind.

"Next!" said the impatient voice of Lisa.

"Just watch me," said Meilin with a grin as she walked to the centre of the gym.

Sakura couldn't believe what she had just seen. Meilin had executed several perfect moves and combinations better than herself or any other person that she had ever seen. Where the hell did she learn all of this? Sakura looked around and saw some girls smiles faded at the crushed hopes of becoming a cheerleader. Others cheered and clapped at Meilin's amazing performance and even Lisa had a smile on her face. Meilin came back to where Sakura was sitting with a wide grin on her face.

"Beat that bitch," she said so only Sakura could here. Sakura glared at Meilin. Damn her.

Sakura came to the centre of the gym just like how Meilin previously did. Rika, Lisa and a very smart girl with short brown hair and glasses named Naoko were sitting down at the back of the gym, all wearing their cheerleading uniforms.

"Oh great it's you. Well... lets get this over with," said Lisa in a bored tone.

"Please do your best and have fun!" said Naoko with a bright smile. Rika stayed silent the whole time.

'Well... here goes,' Sakura thought in her head as she waited for the music to start. As soon as it did Sakura started to move to one corner of the gym. She took a running start and did a one handed cartwheel and three back flips. She did a few little dance moves, said a few cheers, some kicks, spins and a few other moves. Finally she did an aerial and with her knees bent and arms down, she sprung up and did three more back flips and one slow motion back flip and the end leading into vertical splits. Claps were also heard and Sakura smiled, proud of her performance. She went back up to where Meilin was sitting and giving Sakura a little clap.

"Pretty good. But you messed up the last double front flip," said Meilin with a grin. Sakura scowled and was going to retort before Lisa talked to the group.

"Well thanks for trying out everyone. Unfortunately... there is a tie between two girls," said Naoko looking over her clipboard.

"And they are Meilin Li and Sakura Kinomoto!" said Naoko cheerfully. Gasps were heard throughout the room and some girls even cried. Meilin frowned and Sakura smiled. Now only one of them could make it.

"To make it fair... we're going to have a cheer-off... unless one of you want to drop out," said Lisa who desperately didn't want Sakura on her squad. Meilin suddenly turned to Kinomoto and whispered so no one else could here what she was saying.

"Look Kinomoto. If you knew how much this meant to me, you'd let me win. Don't make me start begging here," said Meilin panicking now that Sakura almost felt sorry for her. Almost.

"Hmm... I don't know. Competing against you would be fun," said Sakura who knew she could take on Meilin. Yes she could take her on... but could she come out victorious?

"You can challenge me any other time but I seriously need this badly. Please Kinomoto?" she begged that Sakura looked at her in anger. What about herself? Didn't she work so hard at pleasing her brother so she could get here? Didn't she change her appearance that made her look like another girly girl so that she could have a better chance at getting on the team while Meilin had on her black cargo pants and dark red shirt? Didn't Meilin treat her like shit at tryouts and actually taunted her at points?

Didn't Meilin save her from the overpowering form of Logan and she promised that she was going to make it up to Meilin? Oh yah. Sakura almost forgot about that but this didn't mean giving up what she set out to do for a stupid little promise. But who knows what Logan would've done if not for her. Shit.

"You win Li-san," said Sakura slowly and a bit disappointed as she heard several gasps escape the room for the words that just came out of her mouth.

"Are you serious?" asked Meilin not believing if this was real.

"Positive," said Sakura with a small smile as she watched Meilin's eyes light up and fill with gratitude for the emerald-eyed girl.

"Well now that that's over I guess we can all go home now," said Lisa with a smile of her own, probably glad that Sakura wasn't on the team.

"Yah, see you all later," said Sakura who wanted to stay behind. Girls congratulated Meilin before they left the building and it seemed that it was only the two of them left. Sakura looked down at the ground like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

"Thanks a lot... Sakura," said Meilin suddenly not sure if she was aloud to use her first name but she did anyways.

"I'm really happy for you Li-san," said Sakura with a small smile.

"Call me Meilin. You know ...you're one heck of a great friend," said Meilin with a grin before exiting the gym.

"Thanks," said Sakura is a soft whisper as she too exited the gym and walked outside.

Suddenly a hand grabbed her on the shoulder and Sakura turned around in a swift moment and was surprised to see a girl with brown locks standing there.

"Sasaki?" said Sakura confused. Rika looked at her with a small smile as she held in front of her a set of pompoms.

"These are yours," she said quietly.

"What?" said Sakura shocked at what she just said.

"You're much better off being on the squad than I'll ever be. Out of everyone you deserve them the most so I want you to take my spot,"

"Are you serious Sasaki-san?" asked Sakura not believing if this was real.

"Would I lie to you?" asked Rika.

"Well I don't really know. We never really did have a good start,"

"So maybe this can change everything. Take the pompoms and do me proud ok Sakura?" said Rika as she placed them in Sakura's hands with a big smile on her face.

"I will Rika. Thanks a lot," said Sakura as she gave Rika a big hug and both of them walked away talking and giggling as they started a new friendship and erased being enemies like they were at the beginning.

Sakura was at her house finishing off homework. At the moment she was thinking of how proud Touya will be when she surprises him with the news when he comes on Friday. Yes... Sakura couldn't wait until Friday. Suddenly the doorbell wrung and Sakura quickly rushed down with only a t-shirt and jeans.

Sakura opened the door and was surprised to see Syaoran standing there with his hands in his pockets, obviously nervous.

"What are you doing here Li-kun?" asked Sakura quite surprised that he was actually standing at her doorstep

"I just have to tell you something before I explode!" he said really quickly, making Sakura wonder if something had gone wrong.

"Huh? What is it?" asked Sakura curiously. Syaoran took a deep breath.

"I- I'm so sorry how the way that I acted this past week. You didn't deserve any of it," said Syaoran as he lowered his head, ashamed of his actions.

"Well... I'm glad that you finally decided to apologize, but I'll still never forget what you did and the pain I've been through will always be in my memories," said Sakura who was obviously still hurt.

"I just thought that you would've known that I was glad to be your friend at one point... even though it doesn't look like that will ever be again," he said knowing that Sakura would never forgive him but at least he got his confession out of his skin.

"I didn't say I didn't want to be your friend," she said totally surprising him after the long pause she took.

"What?" he said knowing if he wasn't dreaming this.

"That is... if you don't want to be my friend. Because I thought we could start over again... if you want to," she said with a blush. Syaoran couldn't be happier as he smiled and pulled Sakura in a hug.

"I'm taking this as a yes?" she said in surprise.

"I've missed you so much," he whispered in her ear, making Sakura shiver slightly not knowing if it was he or being outside with only a t-shirt on.

"It's only been five days," she said as she leaned her head against his chest.

"I know," he said with a smile that made Sakura want to melt right there.

"Syaoran-kun?" she said pulling her head back slightly to look at his face. Syaoran was pleased that she used his first name.

"Hmm?" he murmured as he looked down at her.

"I missed you too," she said with a smile as she leaned back into his warm embrace.

A voice was suddenly heard inside the house.

"Sakura what would you like for din-" but Fujitaka stopped there as he watched the sight in front of him with amused eyes. He smiled and went back in the house to cook dinner for Sakura and her guest as Sakura and Syaoran were still lost in there own private world of there own.

"Tomoyo would have died to get that on tape," he said to himself with a little laugh.

A/N: Wow! Sakura has so many friends now!Isn't she just so great? Hahaha! That's Sakura for you!

Well there you have it. Good? Bad? Don't know? Tell me all about it so I'll try to improve if it doesn't suite your standards.
