DISCLAIMER: I OWN NONE OF IT, EXCEPT A FEW CHARACTERS

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Good morning Mrs. Li."

"Good morning Mr. Samuels., how are you?"

"Oh, good, good, just getting everything settled for Monday."

"Yeah, me too. I'm terribly nervous!"

"Don't be. They're just kids, and the majority of them won't care two cents about you anyways."

"Very inspirational." she stated with a giggle.

"I understand your apprehension though. My first week before teaching was the most nerve wrecking week of my life, and the first day was most certainly a disappointment considering what I went through. So don't worry."

"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you Mr. Samuels…"

"Call me Donald, please. I get enough "Mr. Samuels" from the kids, and I do so hate formalities. That was the only thing hard to get used to when I began teaching."

"Oh, I know! I am dreading it quite a bit, and I'm thinking of just having them call me Sakura or Mrs. Sakura. Mrs. Li is hard to respond to, half the time I look around for my husband's mother when I hear it."

Donald chuckled and told her to just stick to her guns, and that he'd see her later.

"Oh, and please do call me Sakura by the way!" she added as an afterthought.

"Will do." he said whistling as he walked away.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh I have so much to do! At least the room's finally clean. Sakura thought proudly looking around at her handiwork. The room was spotless and she intended on keeping it that way, regardless of what those kids wanted… But she was excited to, she couldn't wait to get started on everything she learned at school, hoping at least some of it would help…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Sakura?" Syaoran shouted through the apartment. "Are you home yet?"

He walked into the living room and saw her curled on the couch watching cartoons. "Enjoying yourself?" he asked grinning.

"Mhmm…" she murmured sleepily.

"Are you okay?" Syaoran asked, concerned.

"Just really tired from my super busy week…"

"Well, if you'd just relax, you wouldn't be so overworked. They're just kids, and the first weeks pointless."

"No, it's the most important, to set my standards for the whole year!"

"Chill hon, they're gonna love you, and you're gonna kick butt and take names."

"I know." she replied giggling, already feeling better.

"Well, I'm going over to Matt's to hang out. He's bummed because his girlfriend broke it off with him, and now he's resorting to newspaper ad's. Pathetic isn't it? But he found one and he brought Adam along to meet another one mentioned in the ad, taking them to Le Dones, they're both hopeless." he said laughing.

Sakura thought Le Dones was a little drastic for a blind date, and remembered Tomoyo and Isabella had dates tonight and hoped they'd have a good time with their mystery men "Alright I'll see you later, I'm gonna go take a nap… Love ya."

"Love you too, bye!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Is, would you hurry up!"

"I'm almost done jut a few more minutes…"

"You've been in there for over an hour! What are you doing, getting a spa treatment good grief!"

"I want to look good for my first date here in the future."

"Hon, you have that whole "classic beauty" thing going for you! Now get out and let us lesser beauties get ready."

"Okay okay." She opened the door and stepped out causing Tomoyo's jaw to drop. She was dressed in an expensive looking blue silk halter dress, and had strap up sandals on, with her long curly hair cascading down her waist. She looked like a movie star and made Tomoyo green with envy.

"Do you think I look alright?" she asked worriedly since Tomoyo just stood staring at her.

"Where'd you get that dress?"

"I made it…"

"How!"

"Well, I followed the patterns I see on women on the television, and I found some material at a fabric store."

"Silk? How'd you manage to afford it?"

"The lady gave me a deal."

"Lucky lucky… Now I'm going to feel underdressed…"

"Don't you have a dress you made in class, that purple strapless one?"

"Oh yeah! I forgot about that… Wait, how did you know about that?"

"I dunno…"

Tomoyo tried searching her mind and found herself blocked. "Hey!"

"Well, stay out of my head. And hurry up, we only have twenty minutes."

"Aiyeeeee!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Tomoyo and Isabella walked into Le Dones , glam and beautiful, and searching for two guys looking out of place.

"Do you see them?"

"Nooo…" Tomoyo said slowly, her stomach strangely uncomfortable.

"Hey there's two guys over there!" Isabella said, pointing to a booth on the far side of the room.

The Maitre D walked up and asked them what party they were with and Tomoyo realized she didn't know. She had contacted him via email, and all she had found out was their names were Matthew and Adam. She blushed and decided to go with "Matthew?"

The Maitre D looked up the name and saw there was only one Matthew on the list, and assuming he was just well known, and these girls were too, she brought them to the boys' table.

Tomoyo's face went slack. Sitting at their table was none other than Matt Davis, the guy she's thought was a hottie since her freshmen year of design.

He was a nice looking boy, and didn't have that feminine look most of the guys in her class had. He looked up and his jaw dropped. Standing before him was the closest resemblance to an angel he had ever seen and a very pretty girl beside her, unflattered by her companion. He quickly stood and introduced himself as Matt Davis, and his buddy as Adam Jones. He found a way to sit next to the beautiful girl, and had the other one sit next to Adam. They introduced themselves as Tomoyo and Isabella, and set about making conversation.

Tomoyo was fuming. Isabella had been sat next to Matt, and she got stuck next to Adam. Not that he was that bad looking, but she had had her hopes set on Matt, and Isabella's innocent little act had Matt looking at her with cow eye. Oooooooh!

Not noticing her companion, Adam was gazing at Tomoyo with the same rapt attention Matt gave Isabella. She is gorgeous! And so informed on what's going on today, and she has such pretty eyes, brought out by her elegant dress. Maybe this date was a good idea!

Isabella quickly caught on to Tomoyo's anger and dragged her into the ladies room. "What is wrong with you?" she demanded.

"You are flirting with my date, is what's the matter!"

"Your date?" she asked incredulously. "I thought it was a take your pick. And I didn't even pick him, he sat next to me! Besides Adam seems very into you!"

"Well, I know Matt from freshmen class, and I've always liked him!"

"Not my fault!"

Tomoyo considered that and realized she was being slightly unfair. Is had no pull on her looks or innocence, and Adam was kind of cute. Plus this meal cost an arm and a leg and she didn't want to waste it being in a bad mood. So she decided to go out and try again, then informed Is of her decision. "Good!" was her infallibly faithful reply. Tomoyo was her only real friend in this foreign place, and she needed that friendship.

So Tomoyo and Is went back out, and continued to enchant their dates, and both started having a better time.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Beep beep beep. Beep beep beep.

Sakura groaned and smashed her hand against the alarm clock, rubbing her eyes sleepily. Six o'clock! What on earth possessed me to set the alarm that early? Then she remembered. Today was THE day. Her first day of school.

She rushed into the shower, and got ready. When she flew into the kitchen she found Syaoran clam reading the paper and eating a piece of toast.

"Good morning." He said, easily.

"Morning' she said stuffing a piece of toast in her mouth.

"That's attractive." he drawled. "It's time like these I remember why I married you."

"Shut up!" she said, really not in the mood. "What time is it?"

"There's a clock on the wall." he good naturedly answered her.

She threw him a withered glance, then dropped her jaw when she saw it was 7:30. "Hoooooooeeeeeeee!" She blew him a kiss and slammed out the door, hurrying to her car. She got there at exactly 7:45 and walked into her classroom. She looked around, realized the was absolutely nothing left to do, and started pacing, anxiously awaiting 8:05...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
