"..." is talking
'...' is thinking
- Chapter Two -
"KAIJUU! You're going to be late again!" Touya called out again and just like the first day of school Sakura ended up landing on the ground.
"You really got to stop doing that Touya!" Sakura complained with an annoyed tone.
"I wouldn't have to if you got out of the habit of waking up late!" Touya yelled back and Sakura just clenched her fists. Sometimes she wished her brother could be just a tad more nicer to her.
Sakura ran downstairs in a hurry and charged straight at the door but Touya blocked her way.
"Touya stop playing! I'm going to be late!" Sakura panicked.
"Nah-uh, not this time. Dad advised me not to let you out of the house unless you eat breakfast. Have you heard how eating breakfast helps you study and learn at school. Seeing how bad you are in every subject I strongly suggest a big breakfast for you everyday kaijuu." Touya laughed.
"Yeah Ha-ha, you're a crack up. You belong in the circus Touya." Sakura insulted as she slid past Touya and ran off.
'Why do I have to have an athletic sister. It's such a nuisance.' Touya thought to himself and closed the door.

"Yes I made it! Sakura won the marathon!" Sakura congratulated herself when she realised she made it to school on time.
"You're such a wierd little girl." A male's voice commented from behind and Sakura turned around to find herself face to face with Syaoran.
"Is it a crime to be happy for being at school on time?" Sakura asked rolling her eyes slightly.
"Oh I see, you're always late. That ain't something to be proud about Kinomoto." Syaoran said slyly and walked off.
Sakura shook her head slightly with disappointment from Syaoran's attitude but got over it when she saw every girl glaring at her as if she killed someone. She knew a lot of girls were interested and attracted to Syaoran but she didn't hear about the part where they were obsessed over him.
"Did we see you talking to my Syaoran before?" A very annoyed girl's voice said behind Sakura.
"You know what? You people really have to stop saying things behind my back. Literally." Sakura sighed as she turned around and faced Nika, the nastiest, prettiest girl at the school and her gang. Nika had long white blonde hair and gorgeous sea blue eyes. Her body was just as toned as Sakura's and she had the height of a model.
"Nika, how could I not know that it would be you?" Sakura asked sarcastically.
"So we have a little smartass hey? Well stay away from 'my' Syaoran if you know what's good for your health. You know if you mess with me, you won't have a face. Literally." Nika threatened and pushed Sakura against the school gates. Sakura fell onto the ground but got up slowly and dusted herself off.
"Was that all?" Sakura asked with a cocky smile and walked off.
"Don't let me catch you talking to him Kinomoto or else your pathetic, useless life will vanish right infront of your eyes." Nika threatened again but Sakura was already walking into the school building looking like she didn't hear one word Nika said but inside she was boiling with anger and she knew exactly who to take it out on.

"Li!" Sakura yelled angrily as she slammed Syaoran's locker door shut.
"What the hell's wrong with you Kinomoto?" Syaoran asked just as angry. "What have I done to you to make you act out such an outburst and break my locker? You know I do need it for the whole year!"
"What's not wrong with you? I'm just here to say don't ever talk to me again!" Sakura shouted.
"Who was the one following who yesterday? You were the one that came up to me Kinomoto so don't start flipping the status around." Syaoran argued back. By then students were starting to form a circle around them to see what all the yelling was about.
"Ugh, you're so rude Li!"
"And you're so unbelievable!"
"You're so cocky!"
"And you're so confident!"
"You think you can get all the girls hanging off you"
"You think you have all the guys drooling over you!"
"You think I want you!"
"You do want me!" That was the words that were shouted out last from Syaoran directed at Sakura and she stepped backwards with disbelief. Everyone gasped around them. What Syaoran said was unexpected and he felt a bit embarrassed himself. He ran his fingers through his messy hair.
"Uh.. that.. was a joke." He said with a fake chuckle and immediately all the girls started laughing hysterically as if he did say a hilarious joke.
"Oh you're so funny Li." All the girls exclaimed one after another.
"And you call ME pathetic?" Sakura asked eyeing Syaoran before marching off in a fury.
Syaoran watched Sakura storm off and couldn't help but give off a smile. For some reason he enjoyed teasing her. It was fun in an unique way. His smile grew wider as the scene of their arguement before replayed in his mind. But his smile went away as quickly as it came. Unfortunately he wasn't quick enough to stop Nika's gaze and Nika didn't like the first smile she saw from Syaoran. Especially since he was smiling because of Sakura.

"What did I tell you about talking to Syaoran?" Nika snapped as she walked up to Sakura in soccer practice after school.
"I never knew hating him can piss you off. Is your whole life made up of Li cause girl you really need to get a new life." Sakura replied without looking at Nika and kicked the soccerball towards the goals, shooting a goal.
"Look at me when I talk to you!" Nika shouted getting quite pissed off.
"Well you should of approached me on a more appropiate time, not during soccer practice Nika." Sakura replied, still avoiding eye contact with Nika.
"Why you little bi-" Nika started and raised her fist in the air. Sakura saw Nika's fist from the corner of her eyes and was about to dodge the deadly blow when a male's angry voice interrupted.
"Kinomoto!" Syaoran called out as he rushed up to Sakura.
"What do you want now Li?" Sakura said while rolling her eyes dramatically. She also sighed with relief that he came just before she was about to get beaten up by Nika.
"How dare you pour lemonade into my locker! I had clothes in there! Don't you have a heart?" Syaoran lectured but Sakura just gave him a confused look.
"What are you on about Li? Don't accuse me for something I did not do! I was no where near your locker!" Sakura defended.
"Prove it!" Syaoran yelled as he grabbed Sakura's wrist and dragged her with him.
Nika grinned evily as she watched Syaoran spit his hate towards Sakura.
'So it turns out to me like Syaoran really despises Sakura. Well if that's the case then there's no one stopping me from making Syaoran my own. Sakura was my only real competitor, although she is the second prettiest in the school after me.' Nina thought and giggled to herself.

"What is your problem Li? Let go of me! I was no where near your locker!" Sakura defended.
Syaoran smiled when he reached his locker and let go of Sakura's wrist. "Oh, my bad. I guess no one poured any lemonade into my locker after all." He said cooly and walked off with his hands in his pockets.
"What? Then why did you drag me out of soccer practice if your locker was perfectly fine! Do you think this is funny Li? Oh-" Sakura stopped herself from skitsing it at Syaoran.
'Li just made the whole locker incident as an excuse to get me away from Nika.' Sakura thought to herself.,
"Thank you!" She called out.
Syaoran turned around with a raised eyebrow. "For what Kinomoto?" He asked.
"If you don't want to admit that you saved me it's ok but thank you anyways!" Sakura replied and Syaoran's eyebrow shot up higher.
"Like I said Kinomoto, you're a wierd little girl." Syaoran said and continued to walk off.
"I owe you Syaoran!" Sakura shouted out but gasped as she realised she just called
Syaoran by his first name.
'I hope he didn't hear that.'
Syaoran smiled as he heard Sakura accidently call him by his first name but he wasn't angry about it.
As Sakura headed back to the oval, she heard a voice from the distance saying "It's ok Sakura!" She wondered if she heard right. Was it Syaoran that just called her Sakura after he gave her his big speach about how he thought it was rude to call someone by their first name without knowing them personally yesterday?
'Maybe he isn't as rude as I thought he was. Wait.. I couldn't possibly be falling for him!' Sakura thought and immediatly shook those thoughts away.

"Xiao Lang! Hunnie!" A girl yelped when Syaoran opened the door to his mansion.
"Ling, uh, hi huns. I Didn't expect you at all. Aren't you supposed to in Hong Kong." Syaoran asked slightly shocked to see his girlfriend and soon to be fiancee in Tokyo. (A/N: yes i know, you all want to kill me, Syaoran has a girlfriend but guess what! Unlucky for Ling, it's a S+S story!)
"Well I've got excellent news! Mother sent me here to learn Japanese for a year and she's enrolled me into your high school! Isn't that great? We'll be in the same class and finish high school together and then get married!" Ling exclaimed happily as Syaoran gave a slight smile back.
"Yeah that's great huns." He said without any enthusiasm.
"Yeah, you make it sound like it's great don't you?" Ling said sarcastically, disappointed that Syaoran wasn't as happy and she had expected him to be when he heard the news.
"I'm sorry huns. Of course I'm overjoyed!" Syaoran said being a lot more enthusiastic and kissed Ling on the cheeks. Ling was a nice girl and very cute with long brown curls and voilet blue eyes. Although Syaoran loved her to bits, he disliked how Ling wanted to get married at such a young age. He just didn't believe he was ready for marriage. He doesn't even know if Ling is the one for him but he had to admit Ling was like every guys' dream girl. She had beautiful brown curls that reach her chest, big glistering voilet blue eyes and small full cherry rose lips. She was very petite which made her appear awfully cute.
"So when do you start?" Syaoran asked.
"Tomorrow! I'm so excited Xiao Lang! I'm going to make you lunch and we can walk to school together and do everything together! This will be such a fantastic year!" Ling said with the biggest smile on the face and Syaoran just shook his head slightly, smiling to himself of how childish Ling can be even though she's a few months older than him.
