"Honey! Time to get up!"

Sunlight was already starting to stream through the owner of the room's window at the call of the female voice from downstairs. A hand crawled out from under the covers and grabbed a hold of the clock that was next to her bed. Pulling the clock under the covers, it only took a few minutes for the figure under them to jump up.

"Ah, I am going to be late!!!"

That is the start of a normal day in the life of Sakura Sakaguchi.

"Why didn't you get me up sooner Mom!" screamed Sakura as she was running down the stairs, trying to juggle her shoes with one hand and getting her school sweater on in the other. Her blond hair was just flying all over the place, with her brown eyes brightly shining behind the bangs.

"I tried five times sweetie. You just didn't hear me," said Mrs. Sakaguchi as she place a plate of toast on table. Her dad was just sitting there at the table. She was reading the newspaper and eating her own breakfast casually.

"Never mind, I have to eat and run," said Sakura as she grabbed a slide of toast. Munching it, she ran towards the door grabbing her school bag as she went out the door.

"That girl really needs to get more serious," said Mr. Sakaguchi as she place down her newspaper.

"Oh just let her stay a kid a little longer, one day she will grow up and do something important," chuckle Mrs. Sakaguchi.

Running down the sidewalk, Sakura just munch on her small breakfast as she had to hurry up and get to school. They really had a thing for late students and she just couldn't let that happen to him again. She was already being watch and her dad would just kill her if she got into trouble.

After ten minutes of running, she finally made. Stopping to catch her breath, Sakura looked up at the school to see that some students were still going inside it. She wasn't late! She made it!

"Yes!" she cheered, pumping her fist into the air.

Too bad her victory was short lived as the bell just rang as she gave her little cheer.

"OH NO!!!" she screamed as she ran off again towards the inside of the building and towards her class of 7-B.

Running as fast as she could, Sakura head up the set of stairs, flying pass so many boys and girls to get to her class on time. Finding the classroom, she zoomed inside it and towards her desk. Making to it, she just fell straight into it, out of breath and energy.

"Just at the last second, nice going," whisper a voice beside Sakura, trying to hide it's giggle.

Moaning, Sakura turned her head to see a much taller girl then himself with long brown hair and matching eyes and a wide grin on her face, "Ha ha, Miyako," mumbled Sakura as she continue to lay there on her desk.

"Oh, don't be like that," laugh Miyako as she patted her friend on the back, "You know you-know- who will not go for you if you are like that."

"Like that matter since all those girls always go towards him anyway," smirked Sakura as she tilted her head towards the other the back of the classroom.

There in the back of the room was the new boy of their class and the most popular of them all, Alex, the British exchange student they got last month. He was there in a middle of a group of girls in their class, giggling to themselves as he was just trying to get to his desk. Sakura just sighed as she just couldn't understand how the boy could handle them all or why she was attracted to him. It must be an accent thing or something like that. But she just love the way he looked, his dark black hair and deep ocean blue eyes…ah…

"Anyway, have you started on the report yet?" asked Miyako as she whisper towards Sakura.

"Report?" said the blond hair girl with confusion on her face.

"Ah yeah, you know the one about an endangered animal from that new exhibit that open last week," respond Miyako, "It due next Monday."

Moaning again, Sakura just let her head bang against the desk as the final bell rang. What a way to start off the day.

After that, the day seems to have gone on forever and Sakura was just thinking about this project she had to get done with. How could she have forgotten something so simple as a three page report some museum thingy. Well, she would have time after school to go there and get it done if she hurried. Just a quick peek and then home to write the thing.

With the final bell, she said good-bye to Miyako and headed towards the museum. It was a little journey; she had to take a bus to even get there and walk a good fifteen minutes. she didn't get five minutes down the sidewalks from the museum when she crashed into someone and fell down to the ground.

"I am so sorry."

That was a voice that she knew too well. Looking up, Sakura felt her face turned a bright red as she looked up towards Alex above of her, holding out his hand towards her. Of all the people to run into, it had to be him.

"Are you ok…Sakura right?" asked Alex, with concern on his face.

"Yeah and I'm just fine," she said, chuckling a bit as she took a hold of his hand and he just helped her back on to her feet.

"That is good, were you heading towards the museum as well," he asked as he pointed towards the building.

"Yeah, I still have to do the report for class," she said feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Good, I was all caught up with football practices this week to actually do it as well," respond Alex as he flashed her a grin, "So, I guess we can go in together."

Sakura's eyes just widen a bit. This was just so amazing! Alex wanted to go to museum with her! Of course, he was just being polite with her, but still. Miyako was so going to hear about this tonight and all the other girls were going to become green. She just could the look on her fellow female classmates when they heard the news.

"Watch were you are going!?"

Getting out of her daydream, Sakura took a glance over to the front of museum where there was a small group of girls with a different school uniformed then her school unformed. There was a bunch of girls and they were surround a quite taller girl then themselves. She was skinny as well, with large glasses that show off her large blue eyes and her bright long blond hair in braided pigtails. Just by the look of things, she seemed to be a little shy or scared of them.

She said something, but she wasn't heard by Sakura, but the leader of the girls she was in front of her seem to have said something, "You should be sorry, Aisukuri! You giraffe!"

The surrounding girls just laugh towards the leader joke as they started to leave with the tall girl just standing there with a large school bag with her. From Sakura's view it just looked like she was going to cried.

"That was just…mean."

Looking towards Alex, Sakura was surprise to see the look on his face. There was a look of displeasure on his face, clear as day. That was something that she really couldn't blame him for.

"Why don't we see if she is ok?" said Sakura.

"That would be a good idea, Sakura," he said as they started to walk over, only to accidentally bump into someone else.

"Ouchie!"

Seeing whom she bumped into, Sakura just glance over to see a small girl in front of her with a heavy pink jacket and matching hat. Well, it was the start of winter and there was a light snow after yesterday. She seems to be nursing her knee a bit, just wearing a skirt she skidded her knees. Sakura could see past the black, an almost purple color hair that her brown eyes were starting to tear up.

"Oh, are you ok?" asked Sakura as she moved over to see the little girl.

"Yeah…" she said in a whimper tone of voice and looked up towards Sakura, but her eyes widen, "Hiro!"

Hearing a gasp behind her, Sakura followed the little girl's line of sight to see another boy with Alex, only having him holding Alex's jacket collar and lifted him off the ground.

"Hey, let him go!" shouted Sakura as she stood back up and glared towards him. If he didn't put Alex down, she was just going to slug him right here and now.

The boy just narrow down his nearly black, brown eyes towards her. His own black-purple hair was just flop in front of his face as he just dropped Alex on the ground before walking towards the little girl and gently took her hand, "Lets go," he said in almost monotone voice.

"Ok!" she said cheerfully tone of voice and took a hold of his hand, "Can we get ice cream when we see the animals!?"

"Sure…" he said as they walked off.

"What was that about?" demand Sakura as she glared towards the back of the boy's head and back towards Alex, "He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"No, I am fine, he just said to watch where I was going…weird…" mumbled Alex.

"He was just rude," respond Sakura as she glance back to see if that girl was still here, but she was gone, "Well, she seems gone…lets just get in before the museum closes on us."

"Yeah, that would be the best idea," said Alex as they were almost there towards the doors.

Sakura just rubbed her hands together with the chill in the air. This day was just strange from the start of things. Just looking around the area, there was bunch of people walking in and out of the building, chatting and laughing. There was even a street magician there on the street, doing card tricks for a bunch of people. The bright green hair was just drawing her in.

Suddenly the ground started to shake. Sakura let out a scream as she felled forward and Alex reached out to tried and grabbed a hold of her, but there was so many people around, screaming and shouting. Sakura looked up into the sky, to see the clouds just becoming back and the sky was turning red or pink like. What was going on here?!

Falling back, Sakura just landed on the ground as she looked over to see if she could see Alex. Where was he? There was so many people. Then out of nowhere she felt something hit her in the black. The only thing she could remember was a bright dark pink light and a pair of deep golden color eyes looking right back towards her.
