SEEING YOU FROM AFAR
-sweetly ME-

CHAPTER 2 – SOME UNNEXPECTED SCENE

Sakura is becoming really upset for what she had seen and heard. But even if days had already passed by, well for her, it's like that it only happened just yesterday for some cases. And as you know, she tries to smile even if it's fake ones so that no one would actually suspect her. But how long is she going to take this? Even she can't tell her friends about this. But then, she tries to be as cheery as always and naughty but cute, somehow.

"HOEEeeEE!" She screamed. Well, that's her attitude…

"I'm gonna be late… Come on, come on, come on…"

"Oi, monster, keep it down will ya?" Her brother said. He just opened the door with no permission. ""Who're you talking to anyways, you're invisible monster friend?" he teased.

"SCRAM, you crap!" She threw a pillow to him, but her brother had definitely caught it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa… Don't you know I'm a black belter in Taekwondo?" (I'm sorry, but is that really black belter in term and in spelling? And also for taekwondo)

"More than a black belter in 'Taek-wonder'"

"You're just jealous…"

"Am not!"

"You're just a crazy lame-oh monster, you know that?"

THUD.

Sakura stepped on his foot.

"…"

"See ya onii-chan"

-DOWNSTAIRS-

"Ohayou Gozaimasu Ottou-san." She greeted her dad with a smile…

"Good morning too, Sakura." He said back.

"Dad, I got to go now. The school-papers club has an important meeting today." She said while putting on her skates.

"But, darling you should eat. You know how important breakfast is."

"Well, I'll just have this simple sandwich." She is already standing with her blades on. Then, she took the bread and bit it.

"Sakura…"

"Bye dad…" She kissed her dad.

TOINKKK…

Poor Sakura, she fell on the floor.

"Just because you're in a hurry, doesn't mean that you will not eat you're food." Her brother is the reason why she fell on the floor. He stepped his foot and let Sakura walk there and had her fallen out.

"Now I know… You're just a crazy-old monster looking for some trouble." He teased

Well, for that one, he actually hitten a nerve of hers, causing her to be very angry. So she stood up.

"Monster? Who're you calling a monster? Me?" she closed her fist

Then, they are fighting each other again. Fukitaka Kinomoto on the other hand was just relaxed on what he's seeing. Besides, Touya is just protecting his little sister for some cases. Although sometimes he is very willing to tease her sister.

"Okay, I have no time now." She looked her watch and noticed that she will be late.

"Woops, eat first before I let you out of this house." Touya said blocking the way of Sakura.

"Arghh…"

"You like being late huh?"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat now, just leave me alone…" She said while turning, and faced the kitchen. There she goes and eat.

-After she eats-

"Here! It's a clean dish for now.' She said.

"Well, that would be better. I'm just thinking that if you don't eat your breakfast today, I just kick you out flying instead."

Thud.

"A… Again with the stepping style?"

"Bye now dad… See ya later…" she kissed him.

"Bye then, my Cherry blossom. Don't even try to skip eating schedule again. Have a nice day of school, okay?"

)))(((

-THEN THERE SHE IS AT THE GATE OF HER SCHOOL-

She was skating as usual. She tries to be cheery as always and be of a smiling face.

She changed her roller blades with school shoes at her shoe locker. But then, she recognizes that the time on her watch signifies that she's going to be late. In fact, she's already late for the meeting in the school newspapers club.

"Hoee!" She ran extremely fast to the room were the meeting is being held.

Then, she's there.

She opened the door and rush to the president in front.

"Okay, I'mVerySorryForTheReasonThatI'mLateAsForNow. ButIReallyHave a…" She explained, while bowed down with her bangs covering her emerald eyes, but the Editor in Chief had spoken

"Whoa… Save it to breathe, Kinomoto-san." Shizuka said. She has a long brownish hair which she always have it braided in two.

Then, Sakura had stood up. She saw that everybody had seen her dramatic entrance. Then, she was really embarrassed.

"Take a sit now Ms. Sakura. Make sure that you will never be late again."

"Y…Yes Ms Shizu."

Then, she went to a vacant chair to have a sit. But, boy, she's really embarrassed.

(Coughing) "As for I was saying, I will have you grouped with 3 members at each team and you will feature a certain topic. Make sure that you're feature is very interesting for the readers to have it read. Ooh, this group work is like a contest. Each winner of the group will receive a prize, but that's secret." Shizuka explained.

Sakura was listening very carefully. But then, somebody had touched her shoulder and she was surprised. She turned at that person and to her surprise; she saw that it was Eriol Hiragizawa.

"Oh, hi, Eriol-kun…" She greeted with a small smile on her face. "What are you doing here?"

"Silly question. I bet you know why I'm here."

"…"

"Well, I'm also a member of the school newspaper club."

"Oh, but how come I'm not seeing you here?"

"Were all very busy at certain feature-writing, news writing… blah, blah, blah."

She laughed. "You're so funny, but you have a point there."

"Okay…" Shizuka said in a loud voice in which she attracts every student in the room.

"Here I have some pick-up sticks in which you will pick. Each has different colors so you will know whom you're teaming up with." She explained. "I may take you're cooperation now everyone. Come on in front and pick some sticks." She put out a box of sticks.

The students are now in line to have the stick. They find their teams and as for Sakura, she couldn't find her partner. But then Eriol approached her.

"What color did you picked?"

Sakura raised her hand with the yellow stick.

"Nice! I just picked up a yellow stick too…" he said in a manner in which he smiled himself.

"Gee, I guess were been led by fate as partners."

"Really? Oh, you just red my mind… " He laughed lowly.

"But, err… How come that were only 2? I thought there is 3 each team."

"…"

"Okay!" Shizuka had started talking again. "There is another reason why I called you here. I want you to meet somebody, and this somebody would be a member of this club also. Now, here he is. I would like you to meet a new member."

Then, Sakura was thinking who that person could be.

She looked at the new member. As to her surprise, her emerald eyes definitely widen. But why? There is only one thing that she knows. She basically knows that person.

"Hi, I'm Syaoran Li. I hope that I can be friends with you and I'm looking forward for it. Nice to meet you everyone." He greeted with a smile and bowed down. "By the way, I'm from class 3 A."

"Okay, that would be enough. What team has only 2 person?"

Eriol and Sakura both raised their hands.

"Well, Kinomoto-san and Hiragizawa-san? Okay, Li- kun is now on your team. Just be friendly okay?"

Sakura is still in the state of shock. She couldn't believe that Syaoran is now a member of the news writing club.

)))(((000)))(((

Outside the room, they are under the cherry blossoms.

"Hi there! We already met right? And your name is Sakura, right?" A gentle voice of a guy had asked a honey brown headed girl.

"Uh, yes, I'm Sakura Kinomoto." She smiled at him sheepily. "…Nice to meet you, Li."

"Oh please, call me Syaoran; I'm not used to call me in my last name." He pointed out.

"Uh… okay" she exclaimed lowly. Her smile isn't fading out yet.

"Why don't you smile always? It's very cute of you. Just keep smiling okay?"

"Uh…" She looked down for some reason. "You think so?"

And with a "Definitely" from Syaoran, a voice got their thought.

"Oi! Why don't you help me find some interesting feature here? Don't just stand there…" Eriol seems to be jealous when he saw Sakura and Syaoran together. But thanks to that, Syaoran was saved by the bell.

He sighed.

"Oops, sorry Eriol-kun" Sakura just smiled while running through him.

Syaoran had closed his hands into a fist. Looks like he's angry and liked to punch something. But he keeps that to himself and holds his temper.
