Chapter Three
The New Student
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: She was once the innocent girl, kind and trusting . Yet, after the incident with her classmate, Li Xiao Lang, she changed. And now, seeing him again, she seeks revenge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl walked away, her face flushed. "Idiot… how could I drop all my things on the floor and let a boy pick it up?" then her face flushed even more, "and it's more idiotic of me to stare at him, good grief!"
Her big emerald eyes dropped its gaze onto the ground as she quickened her pace. Her honey brown hair swaying behind her in a short ponytail.
When she arrived home, she heard sounds coming from the kitchen. She quickly picked up glass vase softly as she tiptoed towards her kitchen cautioiusly.
When she arrived there, she breathed a sigh of relieve. The person in the kitchen practically bounced on her. "Sakura-chan! Ain't it nice to be home and have someone to prepare you lunch? Just like a close couple."
The emerald eyed girl who was referred as Sakura Kinomoto, stared at her best friend in annoyance, a sweat drop appeared on her head. "Errr.. Tomoyo-chan? How'd you come in?"
"Oh, I climbed through the door. By the way, I heard a new rumor that there's going to be a new student attending our school next Monday. I heard that this person comes from Hong Kong too!"
"In mid October? That's strange. Hope it'll be a girl though." Sakura said absent minded, not noticing the frown on her best friend's face.
"Sakura, you have to move on! Just because of a boy who had once hurt you for like seven years ago, it doesn't mean that you have to hate all the boys around you! Let it go, let it go Sakura!" Tomoyo probably shouted the last words. She hated it when Sakura was thinking of the incident in the past, she knew how it hurt her friend, and she was also extremely mad at that bastard called Li Xiao Lang.
They ate lunch in silence, and after that Tomoyo left, leaving Sakura in her room crying silently.
On Monday, all the students in Grade eight was very excited about the new student. Practically everyone, except the two best friends, Sakura and Tomoyo, was chatting about the imaginative new student.
"Hope it'll be a girl. Probably a friendly one so I can be good friends with, eh Sakura-chan?" The brunet, Chiharu Miharu asked Sakura. "Hmmm… yeah" replied Sakura faintly, she was lost in her own thoughts.
Then their room teacher, Tereda-sensei rushed into the class. "I…" a big mistake he made by looking at one of the students Rika Sasaki, who was smiling at him. He moved away his gaze and coughed a few times before he spoke again. "Class, as most of you know, there'll be a new student transferring from Hong Kong today. His name is Syaoran Li. Let's give him a big hand."
As the applause started, a boy stepped into the room. Sakura widened her original dull eyes and stared at him in shock. Why, he was the boy she met three days ago! The boy said loudly, "Hi everyone, my name is Syaoran Li, as the sensei had said. I'm looking forward to know you guys and befriend you." He gave a charming smile, making the girls look at him dreamily. Sakura rolled her eyes. She admitted that he was quite handsome, but her classmates overreacted.
"Syaoran Li, your seat is at the back of Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto, please raise up you hand." As Syaoran neared her, he recognized her and whispered, "Nice to see you again." Sakura merely nodded her head to be polite. Tomoyo gave a small squeal and grinned knowingly at the boy. "Hi, my name is Tomoyo Daidouji. Nice to meet you." She took out her hand and he shooked it warmly. "Thank you, Daidouji."
Tomoyo then look at her best friend, who became very stiff, her mouth in a thin line. She grinned even more.
That day during lunch, Syaoran was followed by a group of girls, most who were cheerleaders and thirsty for popularity.
"Hey Syaoran Li, my name is Manimiko Hernes, (A/N: a name I just wrote cause I don't know Japanese at all. ) care to have lunch with me now?" "Syaoran, I'm the leader of the cheerleading group, practice today at 1:10 pm. Come and watch me kay?"Yet, Syaoran ignored them with a polite smile and walked towards Sakura and Tomoyo, who were sitting under a cherry blossom tree, eating their homemade lunch boxes.
"I'm sorry, Daidouji and Kinomoto. Maybe I join you for lunch?" Sakura glared at him while Tomoyo smiled mischieviously once more. Sakura just told her about the meeting of her and Syaoran. "Of course Syaoran Li, we're very glad to." Tomoyo stole one look from the corner of her eye and sighed, thinking dreamily, 'This is another start of a beautiful relationship.'
Tomoyo and Syaoran started to talk automatically, while Sakura kept her mouth tightly shut, eating her lunch silently, aware of the astonish glares sent towards her. She knew that they thought that Tomoyo was a right pair for Syaoran, for she was beautiful and smart, with multi talents. Yet for Sakura, the man-hater and cold, in others opinion, was impossible to attract Syaoran's attention. Yet, Sakura actually was a dark horse, who was not only great in all athletics sports, but was also good in her grades, only that her teacher and Tomoyo knew it though.
Sakura also had the looks, but she always hid her beautiful, large emerald eyes behind her thick-rimmed glasses. To her, clothes were only to wear, not a thing added to one self to make one look more attractive. Her clothes were always over-sized, in shades of black and gray. Secretly though, she worked as a model for various magazines, who joined only for the sake of her best friend, and her false name was Cherry Blossom.
"Tomoyo…Tomoyo? Tomoyo!" Sakura shouted out loudly, Tomoyo looked at her friend in annoyance, as she was just thinking of how Sakura and Syaoran would look as a couple. "As I was saying, Tomoyo, you shouldn't have asked Li to join us. You know how embarrassing I was? Everyone was looking at us!"
"Sakura, calm down. I think that…" Sakura's mobile phone started to ring, and she apologized quickly to Tomoyo before picking up the phone. "Hello, yes? Cherli, okay. I'll come now. Fine." She hung up and apologized to Tomoyo once more. "I'm sorry, the 'Teens Life' Magazine is wanting me to give a shot now. I'm really sorry Tomoyo, I can't walk you home today."
"It's okay, Sakura. It was me who persuaded you to join at first. Run along quickly. Bye, and good luck."
Sakura dashed off, her short ponytail bouncing behind her back.
"Typical Sakura…" Tomoyo said fondly.
