The Transfer Student
We were all excited to see whom the new transfer students were. Every person in Seijou high had their own version of what the students looked like. I had a vague idea of what they might look like from my dreams. The group have a vicious imagination when it comes to enemies but I believe that the new classmates have their own reasons for coming here.
"Sakura" Eron calls and I turn around to see Eron running towards me and tripped.
Suppressing a laugh, I offer my hand. "Hey Eron, are you okay? That fall looked really painful." I see Eron turning his head and I feel bad.
"I'm fine, thanks. Is today the day we can finally go on that dinner promise from the play two weeks ago?" I pull my agenda out to see if I have anything planned for tonight since I've been getting twenty different things to do a day.
"I'm free this evening finally. IF it wasn't for Tomoyo-chan I wouldn't be so booked."
"Well, I'm so glad that we can go to a nice dinner finally. I'm sure that Tomoyo thought she was doing you a tremendous favor for all that publicity." Eron says with a smile that shows me he's serious.
"No, it's caused me trouble. Onii-chan started to scold me for taking all these appointments. What's with all the commotion at school?" Seeing a crowd in front of the school is so rare that I almost run into someone.
Chiharu and Rika run up to me and almost die. "You, won't believe. . . who we just saw!" Chiharu says gasping for air.
"The new transfer students are completely gorgeous. Especially the oldest sibling Darien. He's drop dead gorgeous. Sure there are guys like Syaoran who are cute but he's just dreamy." Rika says utterly smitten with Darien.
"Well, I'm sure they are nice people even if they're not –" I stopped as soon as I saw a person with brown hair and beautiful hazle eyes.
"So you know what we're talking about now. Isn't he just gorgeous?" Chiharu says and I nod.
Eron, Syaoran, Yamazaki, and every other guy in the school, except Eriol, hated Darien Rand's guts as soon as he came to school. No guy was a match for Darien and he probably didn't know it from the way he was acting. He turned my way and he stopped, I see the other two going to his side. Darien tilts his head in my area and the other two glared at me.
Syaoran and Eron glare at the three new students when Darien walked up towards us. Eron gets in front of me while Syaoran instantly blocks his pathway.
"Let him through. I want to hear him out." I say and they reluctantly let Darien pass. "What do you want from me?" I ask when Darien comes over.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Of course you're my new enemy along with the two you were with. Now what do you want?" I say again really irritated.
Darien looked surprised that I already knew he was the enemy and just nodded. He walked away and I wondered if I made a huge mistake in talking to him. I go into my class and it was clear that the class was still in competition over me and Syaoran but all the guys were furious at Darien Rand for being so hot. Not to mention all the girls were jealous since I have three good looking guys around me already to add in Darien walking over to me alone. The only person not affected by the transfer students is Eriol but that didn't surprise me in the least.
Mr. Akamichi came into the classroom calling order to all the arguments our class was having. I knew by the look on his face that we had one of the three new transfer students in our class.
"Class we have a new classmate with us today." A kid with midnight blue hair down to his shoulders came in. He had dark skin and dark brown eyes, glaring right at me and I sweat-dropped.
What is with every single, freaking, transfer student picking me out of everyone in my class. I thought as Mr. Akamichi continued.
"Now, Rand-kun, you can sit behind Erika-chan." Erika points to where he sits and puts on her fake smile.
"Hello Rand-kun, it's a pleasure to meet you." Erika says and I shiver from remembering how she was when she was like that with me.
"Please call me Lee-kun. When you call me Rand-kun it sounds like you're referring to my brother." Lee Rans says kindly.
Eron, would you please excuse me for paying more attention to the enemy. Could you possibly stop glaring at me? You've been glaring at me all day. I was only being polite like you had once thought me to do.
Eron was seething all day because of Rand Lee and didn't stop glaring until I had come over to snap him out of it. Eron looked around the room, noticing only the CCS group was there and sighed. Syaoran looked at me and I nodded; Kai and Eriol guarded the door while Syaoran lifted Eron from his seat and threw him across the room.
"You need to control yourself better! You could have blown you cover and just because you're jealous. Eron you may be a bastard but you need to remember to be a team player! You didn't see me beating up the new guys because of whom they were; you must learn patience!" Syaoran yelled and Eron didn't look at him.
I go towards Eron and put a hand on his arm. He looks at me like he was about to cry or was afraid of getting in trouble.
"It's okay, Eron-kun. Syaoran was only talking from past experiences. When Eriol-kun first came to Tomoeda, Syaoran almost killed Eriol-kun. He just doesn't want that to happen to you." I smiled at him and helped him up.
"Thanks Sakura and I'm sorry for acting like I was a child."
Syaoran comes next to us and smiles. "Everyone here forgives you so stop worrying about it already." Eron nods and we all start laughing.
In gym class we were running the marathon and everyone groaned but me, Syaoran, and Eron. We ended up leading the group the entire way until Rand Lee-kun past us in the fifth lap causing us to run even harder to win the race and I ended up tying with him followed by Eron and Syaoran tying for second place.
The teacher came up to us and said we would race for first-fourth place next class and we all groaned. When class ended everyone cheered us on for our amazing stamina and we were all grateful.
Such a big deal over running a couple laps? Marathons are my favorite gym event since I have a lot of stamina. Thought Lee Rand as he was getting ready for the end of the day. I just didn't expect those Card Captors to have so much stamina also. Especially that Kinomoto Sakura! She would have passed me if we had another lap and that Li Syaoran was also gaining!
"Hey Lee-kun why are you daydreaming? It's time to leave and I want to walk home with you." A junior asked and he just said 'No' very coldly.
I was walking out of the gym when someone tapped my shoulder causing me to yelp. Turning around I see Darien with a frown that shows he's sort of hurt. Gaining my composure, I smile at him and relax a little.
"I'm sorry for startling you. I just wanted to talk to you without my siblings over hearing or your friends interfering."
I looked at him carefully and decided that Darien was telling the truth. "Then start talking. I'm needed for a promise and I'll be running late." Darien looked at me and nodded.
"I was wondering how you knew who we were without explanation? Also about how you weren't scared, like your friends were?"
"Well, I think I knew you were the enemy because you were the only new student to pick me out of the crowd. The only people whom look for me on their first day are my enemies or rivals. My friends were worried about me because of my dreams. I wasn't scared since you wouldn't try to harm me while there are any witnesses around." I replied. I chuckled when I saw Darien's facial expression.
Clearly Darien didn't expect my answer and nearly tripped over the steps. "Then why are you not scared right now?"
"I'm not scared because I know you are kinder than your brother and sister." I said and looked at my watch. "I have to go now. See you tomorrow." I say as I sprinted to the restaurant.
Darien waves goodbye and sighs. I guess I have to stop trying to talk to Sakura.
I make it to the restaurant in a pale blue dress, breathing heavily as I try to catch my breath. Straightening my dress, I walk in the doorway to see Eron waiting at the wall. He sees me and waves me over. When I get there, I see Eron has gone to extremes trying to impress me. He is dressed in a single white rose in his hand and a set of menus in the other. I tilt my head and point at the menus with the craziest expression ever while laughing. Eron looks down at the menus and shrugged while chuckling himself.
Eron takes my arm and leads me to our table. "How are you doing from today's events?" Eron asks flipping through his menu, looking for the drinks.
"Perfectly fine, how are you doing? Erika seems to have taken a liking to Lee-kun. Are you worried about her?" I ask while showing Eron the drink selection in the menu.
"I'm not exactly worried or not about Erika. She's the only one who can be completely armed while defenseless. That's my opinion as an ally of hers. As a brother, I'm worried as hell and really mad at her. She knows how I am when she gets too close to the enemy. As for you, I think you're a complete idiot for talking to him without us protecting you. You could have been hurt by –" The waitress comes over and I order a coke while Eron gets a root beer. "our enemies but let him talk to you." Eron finishes with worry in his voice.
I find myself more wrapped up in the last thing Eron said than the fact I have been draining my coke. "I could tell he wouldn't hurt me. There were too many witnesses to see him in the act if he dared to try and harm me. Then there are both you and Syaoran, Syaoran would try to kill him while you would devise a way to mentally torture him. My way seemed to be the safest way to keep magic hidden from the world. It would definitely be chaotic if magic became public." I said deciding to have some pasta for dinner.
The waitress comes back to take our orders. I order the fettuccini alfredo with chicken while Eron orders a lasagna. Once the waitress had left Eron starts to talk about the enemies, while I make him stop before he gets too far.
"Before you start you're ranting, you should know that Rand Darien-san is perfectly honest and more calm/safe than his siblings. You need to control your anger against Rand Lee-san so you don't make any careless mistakes. If you make an enemy of Lee-kun then you may end up provoking Erika-chan into 'dating' Lee-kun to spite you. Or Lee-kun might attack you in an act of revenge." I state while Eron stares at me, amazed with my theory.
I wonder what Eron-kun thinks of my explanation for the circumstances. But he mustn't know that Darien-san came to talk to me earlier. Same with Syaoran, if either knew about that then I would have no peace what-so-ever.
"Well, I now understand why you haven't been letting me read your mind, Sakura. Why did you agree to do that meeting with Lee-kun in the first place." A voice behind me says and Eron gets an ugly expression on his face.
"Why are you here?" Eron says glaring. "We agreed to let me have this one night alone with Sakura."
"We did but I was worried. I merely followed Rand Darien from the school. It led me to an alleyway where I saw Sakura walking. I followed her and was able to read her mind a moment ago."
I turn around to see Syaoran standing directly behind me, giving me one of his death glares. "What do you mean, Syaoran? I wasn't trying to block you out of my mind." I say unconvincingly. Both Syaoran and Eron look at me accusingly and I sweat-drop. "What are you both doubting me or actually believe that I'm lying?" I state clearly upset by their reactions.
Eron motioned Syaoran to go to the hall with him. Eron gets up as the waitress comes in with the food. When they take their leave, I just stare and wonder what they're up to. Eron takes his time when following/pushing Syaoran to the hallway and start to glare at him. "What was Sakura trying to keep from us?" Eron hissed as Syaoran struggled in his grasp.
"Sakura had talked to Darien-san after school before I got there or she met up with you. She was thinking of what we'd do if we found out." Syaoran says breaking free of Eron's grip. "Go back to dinner, I didn't mean to interrupt you two for any reason." Eron comes back to join me as I was starting to eat my pasta.
"Welcome back Eron-kun. What did you need to talk about with Syaoran-kun?" I ask as politely as I can.
"Just what he was doing here. The food here is delicious so if you want some more pasta or some desert, please tell me so I can order some." Eron says with a smile. I nod while finishing my food.
We get some tiramisu for dessert and head back to my house. When we get to the doorway, Eron makes a small bow and says "Anything else Sakura? I am at your command." Jokingly and I start laughing.
"You're free to do whatever you want. Thank you so much for the magnificent dinner. You're a terrific friend." I say as I walked in my house and Eron heads to his.
Darien who was following Sakura around said that the enemy was alone and he was done following her. The voice on the other end wasn't his siblings' voices but one of an adult. Darien goes and looks at Sakura before he leaves for home since he had school in the morning.
