Disclaimer: Okay, this is ridiculous. I mean, who doesn't know that I don't own CCS and HSM! Thank you BEBE iNC, but I'll only put this once!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"But, otou-san, I don't want to study it, I'm sure I'd do terrible."

Sakura said desperately standing at the entrance of the Tomoeda High School, with Fujitaka and the principal standing next to her.

"Of course not, dear, I'm sure you'd do great, just like in the other school."

Fujitaka reasurred her daughter, and gave her one last wave before leaving for work, while Sakura was leaded by the principal to her room.

After walking for a few seconds, the principal pushed his new student into the Grade 11A class and announced loudly.

"Everyone, today's the start of another new semester, and a new student will also be joining you. Her name is Kinomoto Sakura, and I hope that you will all treat her with respect."

He sighed, seeing that no one was listening to him, since they were busy chatting animatedly with their long-time-not-seen classmates.

"Wish you good luck, Sakura Kinomoto."

He gave her one soft pat on the shoulder before leaving.

"No, all I remember, is like… pink jelly."

A boy in her class talked especially loud, his hand holding a basketball, was suddenly knocked over by Sakura, while she was forcing her way to an empty desk to put down her belongings.

Unknown by her, a pair of brown eyes suddenly turned his head and looked intensively at her.

"Hey, Syaoran, what about the pink jelly thing? And, what are you staring at?"

His best buddy, Yamasaki Takashi, asked him strangely.

"Nothing…"

At the same time, something pink blocked his sight unexpectedly, and he looked up.

"Ohayo, Syaoran- kun."

It was the school's drama queen, Sharpay Evans, who starred in all of the school drama productions with her twin brother, Ryan, ever since they were in kindergarten.

She was actually quite pretty, with her black- brown eyes and shoulder length blond hair, which was tied up today.

Her smile became forced when she realized that Syaoran was not looking at her, but was moving his head out to see something behind her.

However, when she was about to greet him again, their homeroom teacher, Mizuki-sensei came in and clapped her hands loudly for attention.

"Ahem, class, today we have a new student, Kinomoto Sakura, and she will be joining us starting from this semester, so treat her with respect. Mr. Li,"

Syaoran quickly broke out of his trance when he heard his name being called.

"What is so interesting that you are looking at? Maybe you'd be interested to join the musical coming this year, story written by Yanagizawa Naoko. So if you want to know about the details, please contact her. Do audition for extra credits and spread your wings of the creative spirit, like what Shakespeare."

When Syaoran saw that Mizuki-sensei had already gone down the aisle away from him, who was the front roll, he quietly took out his cell phone and opened it, ignoring his teacher's constant blabbering about Shakespeare. (A/N: I don't mean to insult English Literature, in fact, I'm going to study it, but really, how I hate Shakespeare!)

He looked intently at the wallpaper of his phone, which featured the girl he met during the summer vacation, and was still looking at it when suddenly, the opening music of cell phones appeared.

"Oh, I see that the cell phone menace has begun again."

He widened his eyes and turned around to see Sharpay and Ryan, who were next to him, opening their cell phones.

Mizuki-sensei quickly ran to her desk and took a medium sized metal can.

"Cell phones, Sharpay and Ryan. See me in detention after school."

The twins looked at her in disbelieve while they put their cell phones inside the can.

Sakura was also turning open her cell phone, and was looking at the wallpaper showing the boy she met at the summer party when a shadow appeared before her.

She looked up and saw Mizuki looking at her sternly.

"Maybe you don't know the rules yet, Ms. Kinomoto, but here at Tomoeda High, we don't allow students to use their phones in school. Cell phone please, and we'll get acquainted during detention."

Syaoran turned around and was just in time to see Sakura's cell phone being put inside the can. A thought went past him and he didn't put away his cell phone.

"Mr. Li, I see that your cell phone is also involved. Detention today."

Takashi, who sat behind Syaoran, shouted in shock.

"But Mizuki-sensei, it's impossible. Syaoran is the basketball team captain, and we're going to have the final match two weeks later, we need every minute after school to practice!"

"Takashi, 15 minutes!"

"What?"

Then, the bell rung, and Mizuki sighed at left.

Syaoran quickly took his belongings and crept out of the classroom, leaning against the wall outside the classroom.

People bustled out and when the last person came out, who happened to be Sakura, Syaoran immediately ran to her.

"Hey."

"I can't…"

"Believe it."

"Me neither."

"But how?"

"Well, otou-san transferred here from Osaka because of some working problems."

"Anyway, welcome to Tomoeda High!"

They walked aimlessly forward, and came upon a locker which a colorful poster was stuck on it, welcoming any student to sign their name to audition for the roles in the musical.

"Well," Syaoran tried to ask casually, but his mind was racing. "I reckon that, you're going to sign up for the audition the moment Mizuki raised it up, right?"

"Actually, no. It'll be sometime before I'll join anything. But well," she looked hopefully at him. "If you're going to audition, I wouldn't mind singing with you."

"Well," he laughed forcefully. "That is like totally impossible."

"Impossible? I wouldn't think the word 'impossible' was even in your dictionary, Syaoran- kun."

Sharpay appeared from behind the locker suddenly, giving him a fake smile.

However, when she spotted Sakura standing next to her crush, her smile was erased off almost immediately, and in return, was a scowl.

"So nice of you, Syaoran- kun, to be showing your new classmate around."

Without waiting for a reply, she took out her pen and wrote her name quickly on the sign up sheet, her name almost covering all of the page, not to mention that it was not beautiful at all, since she was boiling in anger.

She faked out in surprise when she looked back at Sakura, after all, she wasn't the drama queen for nothing.

"Oh, were you going to sign up too?" She squinted her eyes and smiled evilly at Sakura.

"You know, me and my brother has starred in all the leading roles. There are a lot of supporting roles, I'm sure we can find something for you."

Syaoran opened his mouth frantically to deny, but Sakura was the one to speak out.

She had the same fake smile plastered on her face, and said innocently, "No, no, no, I was just looking around for anything interesting in this school."

She walked past Sharpay and left, but not before eyeing Sharpay's penmanship and saying, "By the way, nice penmanship."

Sharpay quickly turned around and saw that Syaoran was sneaking away.

"Hey, Syaoran- kun, I missed you during vacation. What did you do?"

"Uhhh," Syaoran turned around quickly and said uneasily. "Ummm, basketball, surfing, and more basketball."

Sharpay looked at him with a dreamy expression on her face.

"Oh, Syaoran- kun, you are so dedicated, just like me, hehe."

Syaoran gave him some forced chuckled although he didn't know what she thought was so funny.

"Umm, Sharpay, I got to go now." He was desperate for a getaway, but Sharpay stopped him immediately.

"Well, you know that there'll be a musical, right? Can you please go watch me?"

"Ummm, sure."

He started to walk away but she stopped him again.

'Gosh, what is the matter with that girl!'

"Toodles, Syaoran- kun."

"Toodles."

This time, he walked away quickly, and was determined to ignore Sharpay even if she tried to stop him. Luckily, he heard nothing.

Sharpay's happiness faded and she glared at Sakura's retreating figure.

'How dare that Kinomoto girl compete me with me over Syaoran-kun!"

After the break, Sakura's next lesson was Mathematics.

She looked strangely at the teacher and mumbled something inaudible under her breath when Sharpay interrupted her from the front when she was sure that the teacher wasn't looking.

"You are Syaoran-kun are close, right?"

Sakura asked without taking her eyes off the blackboard.

"What do you mean?"

"You know, Syaoran-kun, usually doesn't show his new classmates around."

"Huh?"

"I mean, to him, basketball is 101 of his life. There's nothing else to him."

"Shouldn't it be twelve over pi?"

Sakura's sudden question caught Sharpay off guard.

The teacher turned over and asked Sakura, after solving the mathematics problem.

"What did you said, Ms. Kinomoto?"

"Ummm… nothing…"

But when she saw the teacher look at her expectantly, she repeated the answer.

"I'm sorry, but shouldn't the answer be twelve over pi?"

The teacher laughed

"It isn't quite possible…"

She turned to the answer page and she stared at Sakura for a moment before brushing off the steps on the blackboard.

"Mistake corrected."

After she finished, she looked back at Sakura and smiled at her.

"By the way, Welcome to Tomoeda High, Ms. Kinomoto."

Sakura giggled and continued her work.

"There's something freaky about that Kinomoto girl. She sounds so familiar."

It was lunchtime and the Evans went to the computer room.

Sharpay typed in 'Sakura Kinomoto' in the search engine and the twins opened wide their jaws.

"WHAT!"

"Oh my, sis, no wonder she's so familiar."

On the screen were millions of information, featuring all the awards Sakura had won.

Sharpay printed the page and stuffed into Naoko's locker.

"Why'd you do that for?"

Ryan asked in shock.

"You'll see."

Cherry Blossom Klutz- Hello, everyone. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews! Yup, it's quite corny though.. :P

Yukyungtang/AdaZu/-Actually, you don't have to have Disney Channel to watch it, you can simply buy it or watch it on I live in Hong Kong now, I went to the HMV, a very famous place in HK which sells CDs, VCDs, and DVDs.

I went there to look for High School Musical, and there was the DVD on the first shelf I saw. I was so happy, and ran like a maniac towards it, and when I saw the price, I almost fainted. It was freaking $199 in Hong Kong dollars, I mean, all right, it might not be much for you, but it is for me! Let me see, it's about $25.3 US. Sigh…

Sakura5584-Yeah, I'm quite disappointed about Troy and Gabriella not kissing, and I hate Chad for it, although it's not his fault because it's what the director wants… but, since there's gonna be a sequel in 2007, I think they'll kiss, and I'm also having my own sequel to it and they are definitely going to do that!

Cherry Blossom Klutz/ Mew Sakura/Rachel-Rabbit-RaRa/sakura5584/Chika Chanfan-I'm so happy you guys love HSM too! Too bad there isn't the book in all the stores I've ever visited.

dbzgfan2004-Why, did you think it is sad?

BEBE Inc-Thanks for reminding me to put up a disclaimer. I don't wanna be sued by fanfiction because of that.

Sakurali- Don't you dare to copy my plot or you'll not be seeing tomorrow! Just kidding.

Thank you again and please continue to R&R, it really has motivated me to update sooner than I had thought.
