Defining Love

"Do you love him?" Syaoran asked Sakura . "Yes." She replied with confidence. Syaoran looked away, partially because he was angered at how ridiculous Sakura's response was but mainly because a tear drop rolled down his cheek. He faced her with a stern and serious look. "Then define love Sakura."

A/N:

"..." is talking

'...' is thinking

- Chapter One -

"Wake up kaijuu!" Touya's deafening voice echoed through the house and made poor Sakura fall out of her bed with a loud thump.

"That wasn't nice Touya!" Sakura yelled back.

"You're 16, it's your first day back at school and yet you're still acting like a primary school girl. Disorganised and going to be very late if she doesn't hurry the hell up!"

Sakura looked at her clock beside her bed and screamed.

"7:45! Are you kidding me? I have 15 minutes to get ready, eat breakfast and run all the way to school!" As she complained to herself she brushed her long auburn hair, applied a touch of eyeliner and mascara to show off her emerald green eyes, threw her uniform on and ran down the stairs.

"Okay love you all, see you after school!" She called out as she ran out of the front door.

"You forgot to eat break-!" Touya ran outside and called after her but she had already ran around the corner.

"I'm so late!" Sakura groaned as ran inside her school gates to find everybody inside the building already.

"Oh, just great! Hopefully my teacher won't give me detention for being tardy seeing it is the first day." She mumbled to herself as she dragged herself inside the building.

"He's so cute!"

"He's gorgeous."

"He's hot!"

"I wonder what his name is."

"He's new here, I want to get to know him!"

Sakura walked past girls after girls and it seemed like their conversation were all the same. It was either a freaky coinsidence or they were all talking about the same guy.

Suddenly Sakura was confronted by a friendly, very happy looking face and a pair of arms that nearly strangled her into a hug.

"Oh my god! I missed you so much Sakura!" Tomoyo, Sakura's best friend exclaimed as she saw Sakura walking through the hallways at recess.

"Tomoyo! I missed you too! Damn you, as if go on vacation without your best friend. You left me here to shrivel up with boredom! So heartless!" Sakura exclaimed with the same enthusiastic voice Tomoyo had.

"I'm sorry! Man it sucks how we're not in the same form this year." Tomoyo whinged.

"Pity isn't it? Maybe the teacher finally realised how much trouble we are when we're together." Sakura laughed.

Tomoyo had been her best friend since they were in diapers. She had long jet black hair and sapphire blue eyes. She loved cameras and fashion designing which Sakura wasn't very keen in. Sakura was more the athletic type. She loved any kind of sports, especially soccer and was a cheerleader. Her toned figure expresses her love for sports.

"Anyways what's the fuss about around here? Apparently there's a new guy?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah. Apparently he's very attractive but has quite an attitude. He's a grade above us, in year 12. He's in Eriol's class and Eriol already hates him. Said he distracts all the girls' attention away from him." Tomoyo chuckled.

"That sounds like Eriol alright. How is that boy anyways. No the question should be how are you two? Wasn't your one year anniversay yesterday?" Sakura asked and winked.

"Yeah it was great. He took me out to a romantic dinner and bought a dozen white roses. Oh my, they were awfully pretty! And-"

Tomoyo was cut off when a figure walked past them and it caught both Tomoyo and Sakura's attention.

"It couldn't be.."

"No way that's.."

"That's the new guy?" They both exclaimed together.

Their gaze was upon a tall, skinny but not lanky guy with messy brown hair and bangs that kept on creeping over his hazel brown eyes. He was wearing a blank tank that showed off his nice tan and army cargoes. He gave Sakura a look with an expressionless face but looked away immediately and kept on walking.

"Yep, hot with an attitude. No, it couldn't be that new guy everyone is talking about." Sakura said sarcastically and Tomoyo giggled.

"Hi babe." Eriol greeted Tomoyo after school at her locker.

"Huns! Where have you been all day. After you were complaining to me about that new guy, you disappeared and never came back! I was missing you like crazy." Tomoyo sulked and gave her boyfriend a peck on the lips.

Eriol had blue black hair, chestnut brown eyes that was covered by a pair of glasses. He was tall and pretty built.

"Get a room you two!" Sakura joked and she closed her locker

"Hey Sakura. Haven't seen you much these holidays."

"Nah, you don't miss a thing!" Sakura said sarcastically. "How are you Eriol?"

"I'm good, just celebrated my one year yesterday." He said proudly.

"So I've heard. Congratulations." Said Sakura.

Just then the same boy from earlier on passed them and Eriol shot a cold look at him. The boy saw him and gave a cocky smile back.

"I hate that dude!" Eriol expressed angrily.

"He's pretty hot." Tomoyo said and Eriol shot her a dirty look.

"I'm just joking hun, don't get all jumpy." She laughed and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hrm, he actually is very attractive." Sakura backed up Tomoyo's words.

"How could you say that Sakura?" Eriol asked with a disgusted look.

"What? I reckon he is! Do you know his name?" Sakura asked curiously.

"His name is Syaoran but he prefers to be called Li as I've heard in his interesting introduction of himself in form class this morning. He thinks his too superior to be called by his first name from little peasants like us." Eriol spat coldly.

Sakura could tell Eriol really disliked Syaoran but just because Eriol disliked him, it didn't mean she couldn't like him. She kept on staring at him as he was slowly walked out of her sight. She looked around the hallways and saw every single girl doing the same thing. All practically drooling over him.

"I'll catch you two tomorrow. I'm going to go talk to the new boy." Sakura said and ran off towards Syaoran's direction.

"Well this will definetly be an interesting year." said Eriol.

"Definetly. You don't often see Sakura chasing after a guy. It's usually the other way around." Tomoyo agreed and they walked off.

"Hey wait up!" Sakura shouted as she tried to catch up to Syaoran but unfortunately for her, she crashed face first into a tree whilst doing so. To her embarrassment Syaoran turned around just in time to see her in action.

"Pathetic." He grunted and started walking off again.

"Excuse me!" Sakura yelled as she tried to catch up to him again.

"Hi i'm Kinomoto Sakura! Nice to meet you." Sakura introduced pleasantly.

"I'm Li Syaoran. Nice to meet you Kinomoto." He replied painly.

"You can just call me Sakura."

"I'd rather not. It seems rude to call someone by their first name if one has yet to know the other." Syaoran explained. "By the way, are you following me?"

Sakura blushed slightly. "I just wanted to the meet the new boy in school." She explained.

"Gosh that desperate? You're worse than the other girls in the school. I've gotten love notes, been flirted with, some tried to feel me up but I never expected someone to sink as low as stalking me. I hate desperate girls. It's such a turn off!" Syaoran said smartly. "Anyway you've met me so now you can you go your own way. Pleasure meeting you and bye."

After those words he turned into his corner leaving Sakura quite shocked.

'What an attitude! He was so mean! I can't believe I was even interested in him for a split second.. or maybe a second.. more like a minute.. actually it was the whole time since I saw him but that doesn't matter. What's important is HE IS SO RUDE!'
