Chapter 1: The new students
Disclaimer: I, starzdestiny do not own Cardcaptor Sakura, Clamp does. I also do not own the movie "Read it and Weep" from where I got the idea to make a journal into a bestselling novel. I only own the journal and Sakura's alter-ego as well as all the characters in the journal that Sakura keeps. I also own the characters, Gerald and Taro.
"Sakura!" my brother Touya yelled just as my alarm went off. This is how I get up, every morning, believe it or not! Running into the bathroom at top speed, I slammed the door in Touya's face. In ten minutes, I was ready to go… "Mmm! Breakfast smells good!" Touya said as he walked into kitchen. Dad was cooking today because mom was in Tokyo. Did I mention that my mom is a model? That's right, my mom is a model and my dad is a university professor. My brother is in his second year of university at the moment. That's my family background…
"I won't be eating breakfast!" I told my dad, I had to be in school early because Ms. Mizuki wanted to talk to me about something. I was already running late as it was, so I resisted the urge to sit down and taste my dad's delicious breakfast (my dad is like the most awesome cook ever) and grabbed a piece of toast to go, being haunted by the smell of dad's cooking to the door. It was a sunny morning as I put on my roller blades…can't wait until my sixteenth birthday, so I can get my driver's license! As I was nearing the school, I saw a huge crowd gathered there.
A few men in black suits, complete with walkie-talkies stood surrounding the area as a pretty girl with ruby-red eyes got out of the black limousine which was parked in front of our school. As I neared the school, I noticed that all of the students who'd actually made it to school stood in front crowded, quickly; I searched a while until I ran into Naoko Yanagisawa, one of my close friends at Tomoeda High. "Oh my gosh, guess who's here?" a girl from my English class named Ayu asked the girl next to her, "Li Syaoran of the Hong Kong Li Corporation… You know, Hong Kong's richest family, the Li family." Said Satomi, the girl standing next to Ayu…I walked over to Naoko who stood behind the crowd, not really paying much attention to what was going on. As usual, Naoko was on her laptop…
"Morning Naoko!" I greeted my extra smart friend as she looked up from the computer. Before I could talk to her, however, I realized that I was already late in meeting Ms. Mizuki, my English teacher, so I hurried into the school and ran straight to the staffroom. Ms. Mizuki stood there, waiting for me and after a quick sorry she led me to the principal's office.
"Mr. Narumi will see you now!" said Ms. Hannah, the principal's secretary told us upon reaching the office. I stopped to catch my breath as Ms. Mizuki went into Mr. Narumi's office while I waited outside. I knew I wasn't in trouble because Ms. Mizuki had told me yesterday about some kind of favor, so I assumed I was needed to do something that involved the principal.
Mr. Narumi, Tomoeda High's principal fell into the weird category. His blonde hair was on the longish side and his clear blue eyes were always filled with amusement. He also walked in a graceful manner and was quite effeminate at times, but then everyone here at Tomoeda High is slightly on the weird side. As I waited impatiently, I thought of what Melina could do next…
Melina was trapped inside the principal's office with a psycho-killer. Her eyes swept the clock on the wall which showed 12:00 a.m. A sudden shadow fell on the wall opposite her, causing Melina to jump slightly. With a swift movement, Melina landed on the principal's table. Her eyes narrowed as she watched her opponent. Being a black belt in karate was of more use than she had thought when it came to saving humanity from all sorts of terrors.
Her opponent was a pretty girl, a few years older than herself. Her whitish blonde hair was in a tight ponytail at the back of her head and her icy blue eyes showed anger and hatred. There was also a blood-thirsty look in her eyes. Melina, who was a S8 trained professional didn't hesitate to attack. Jumping off the tabled, she landed opposite her opponent and pinned her down in one move. However it took the older girl only a few seconds to spring back to action… "Sakura!" Ms. Mizuki called as the door to the principal's office opened. Quickly stepping inside, Sakura bowed to Mr. Narumi and gave him as appropriate greeting.
"Ms. Kinomoto, would you mind showing our new students around?" Mr. Narumi asked the auburn haired girl standing in front of him. After getting her confirmation, he asked the new students to be brought in. There were four of them in all, three boys and one girl. The girl was the same girl from earlier, with ruby-red eyes and two Chinese style buns. She was already dressed in the red and black uniform of Tomoeda High, which consisted of a white shirt, worn underneath a black blazer with the school symbol by the side and a red skirt as well as a red tie. The boys wore a red blazer with the school logo on the pocket, a white shirt, black tie completed with black pants. The girl stood in front with three guys behind her, a half-smirking expression on her face. The guy on the left had dusty blonde hair and bluish-grey eyes and wore a bored look on his face. The one in the middle had messy brown hair, with bangs falling onto his eyes which were a stunning amber colour. A scowl was evident on his face as he eyed the room. The last guy had jet-black hair and light brown eyes and looked half asleep.
"I'm Mei Lin Li," the girl said enthusiastically. "Gerald Simmons," the blonde guy said in a bored tone. "Taro Ling… " the black-haired guy said while yawning. All eyes fell on the remaining guy… "Li Syaoran." He stated simply, the scowl replace with a smirk. It was quite unnerving for Sakura… "All right, this is your home room teacher, Ms. Kaho Mizuki," Mr. Narumi paused to point at Ms. Mizuki before continuing, "and this is Sakura Kinomoto, the girl who will be showing you around." He then nodded to Ms Mizuki who led Sakura out followed by the four new students. Then Ms. Mizuki left the nervous Sakura alone with the four new students. Meilin flashed Sakura a wide grin. Sakura felt a bit better, so she smiled back. She then found out all four of them were in her homeroom class and she and Syaoran had lockers next to each other. Meilin had the locker next to Tomoyo and the other two got the empty lockers on either side of Yamazaki which were only a few lockers away from Sakura.
A/N: ok, so the chapter is done. I kinda took the whole "journal into novel" idea from the Disney movie "Read it & Weep" but the rest of the ideas are mine. Also, Mr. Narumi isn't mine, he's actually the weird teacher from Alice Academy. Please take the time to review because reviews make a huge different, even if they are just a few words.
