Syaoran's Return

"Class, we have a new student joining us today. Most of you might recognize him when he studied here a few months ago. Class, please welcome Li Syaoran," Sakura looked up immediately. Had she heard wrongly?

No, there was no mistaking those dark eyes, under their thick eyebrows. With that intense stare and messy brown hair, Li Syaoran, the boy she loved, the boy she had never confessed he feelings to, he was finally back in Japan.

"Syaoran, please sit at the empty seat behind Akemi." Sakura sighed as a tear slipped down her cheek. She had hoped that Syaoran would be able to sit behind her like he had last year but she knew it was impossible. The seat behind her was taken by Aki, Akemi's twin brother. The two had come to the school a month ago. In fact, Aki immediately fell in love with Sakura when he laid his eyes on her and had desperately been trying to ask her out. Of course, she refused as she had been waiting for Syaoran. Her true love, Syaoran.

She sighed again as she looked to where Syaoran was seated. It seemed that Akemi had warmed up to Syaoran. She could see Akemi trying to talk to Syaoran, though all she got was a fierce glare and silence, she continued to chat, seemingly oblivious to the fact that she was talking to herself.

Sakura sighed once more and returned her attention to the teacher.


"Ok, Sakura, calm down. Just walk up to him and say hi," Sakura whispered to herself as she leaned against a pillar. Just 2 tables away was Syaoran.

Sakura breathed deeply. "I can do this, I can do this. " She muttered to herself as she turned around to walk to Syaoran and collided right into…Aki!

"A-a-aki…I'm sooooo sorry…" Sakura blushed furiously. Aki grinned at her.

"It's ok. Want to sit with me?" He pointed to his table.

"Err…I…" When she turned her head, Syaoran had gone.

Her face fell, "Ok, I guess." Aki seemed not to notice Sakura's expression as he grinned wider and led her to his table.


Syaoran sat down and sighed. It was lunch time yet he had not had a single moment alone with Sakura. Aki and Akemi always seemed to get in the way one purpose. As he was daydreaming, he saw Sakura in the corner of his eye. She seemed to be muttering something to herself.

"Wonder what she's thinking about?" Suddenly, she turned around and knocked into Aki. She immediately blushed a brilliant shade of crimson. Just like when he was around her. Syaoran's face fell. He didn't know why but he dashed off immediately. He never saw Sakura looking around frantically for him before reluctantly sitting down with Aki.


The mysterious girl giggled again. This was going to be interesting.
