A/N : So, I'm back with a new chapter! Hehehe.. I just couldn't help myself! I was so happy that I got so much reviews that I started typing frantically! Hehe.. Hope you don't mind. Hm, by the looks of it, this chapter will be pretty long. I made it extra long for my reviewers. Hope you don't mind! Oh yea, I decided to use the side formatting, thanks to JennyKim319, who answered my question in the previous chapter unlike the others. But don't worry, I'm not mad at any of you. Hehe. So, as usual, I'll put the reviewers' names at the bottom. Without further ado, the next chapter of Will I Ever Be Loved! Ta-da!

Recap from last chapter

Syaoran saw Sakura's red face and felt worried.

"Sakura, do you have a fever? You're red in the face," Syaoran asked worriedly.

Sakura shook her head quickly.

"Iie. I don't have a fever. No need to worry about me," Sakura replied while still blushing.

"Hai. If you say so, Sakura," Syaoran said in return.

"O-Oh! I think I better get going. Gomen Syaoran. But I really need to get to school now. Ja ne!" Sakura said. She then hurried off to her school.

With that said, Syaoran felt his heart beating faster and faster. 'What is this feeling? Is it love? No, it can't be,' Syaoran thought. He shook his head to clear his thoughts.

He then walked in the direction of his school.

Will I Ever Be Loved?

Chapter seven :

The New Kid

Sakura went in the school building quickly. A tint of pink still evident on her cheeks. Suddenly, she tripped and fell to the ground with a thud. Her schoolbooks were all scattered on the floor. Students around her were staring at her weirdly. Then the students laughed at her. Sakura felt so embarassed by her action. She blushed out of embarassment.

All the students stopped laughing and returned to what they were doing before. Sakura began to gather her schoolbooks that were on the floor. She felt utterly embarassed.

'Why do I always have to be a klutz?' Sakura thought to herself.

"Um, hello there. Do you need help with those?" asked a guy's voice. Sakura just continued to pick up her books. She ignored the guy. She suspected that he laughed at her too.

"No, I don't need your help," Sakura replied with a huff while she continued to pick up her schoolbooks. When she was about to pick up the last book that was lying on the floor, she felt a hand holding it.

"Honestly, would it kill you to answer me nicely?" the guy said while he was holding Sakura's book in his hand.

"For you, yes. After all, you did laugh at me," Sakura snapped back at him.

"Laugh at you? When did I do that? I just got here a few minutes ago," the guy said while looking confused.

Sakura froze on the spot.

"T-That means that you didn't laugh at me?" Sakura asked timidly.

"Frankly, yes," the guy answered her while a grin played on his lips. Sakura blushed out of embarassment.

"G-Gomen nasai. I thought that you were one of the jerks that laughed at me," Sakura said.

"Hey, don't sweat it. It's all in the past now," the guy said coolly.

"Anyway, can I have my book back?" Sakura asked while she smirked at the guy in front of her.

The guy muttered a soft 'sorry' and handed the book to Sakura.

"Arigato," Sakura replied back with a smile.

They smiled at each other for awhile before they heard the bell ring. They said their goodbyes and headed to their classroom. Surprisingly, the guy followed Sakura to her class. Sakura knocked on the door of the class and apologized to the teacher for being late.

She then sat at her place and took out her study items. Everybody around her were talking to each other about a new student.

"I heard that the new student is a guy!" exclaimed a girl with sleek black and hazel eyes.

"I heard that the new kid's from Tokyo!" said a guy with blue eyes and blonde hair.

"Quiet down class!" Mr. Terada commanded the students. With that, all the students stopped talking and paid attention to their teacher.

"Class, we will have a new student attending this class starting from today onwards. He is from Tokyo. So, please welcome our new student, Kobayashi Kenshin," Mr. Terada announced as he steps back. A guy with jet black hair and brown eyes stepped in front of the class.

"Konichiwa minna, watashiwa Kobayashi Kenshin. I am from Tokyo. But I moved to Tomoeda because my father has a buisness deal here. So, I hope to get to know all of you soon," Kenshin stated as he walked back to the teacher.

"Kobayashi-san, you will sit next to Kinomoto-san. Kinomoto-san, please raise your hand," Mr. Terada stated.

Sakura raised her hand when she heard her name being called. Sakura noticed the familliar face of Kenshin and realized that he was the guy from before.

"I hope I can get to know you better, Kinomoto-san," Kenshin whispered as he passed by Sakura's desk and sat beside her. He winked at her and then turned his attention to the teacher.

A tint of red appeared on her cheeks. 'I can't believe he said that,' Sakura thought before she turned her attention to the teacher too. Her heart was beating a little faster than usual though.

'What is this feeling? I can't like him, right? Right,' Sakura decided in her mind.

Time passed by. They learned many lessons but when the slight thought of Kenshin appeared, Sakura would blush furiously.

'What is happening to me? Why do I feel my heart beat faster whenever I think of Kenshin!?!' Sakura thought in her mind.

--Recess--

Sakura carried her bento box with her while she exited her class and headed for the cafeteria. She walked around the place and spotted an empty table at the far end of the cafeteria. She walked over to it and sat on the seat by herself.

'As usual, nobody notices me and I have to eat by myself,' Sakura thought to herself while she sighed inwards. Although she was sad, she didn't show any sign of it. She always had an expressionless face when she feels sad.

"Excuse me, can I sit here with you?" a guy's voice asked Sakura. Sakura just nodded her head, not realizing that she had company. The guy sat down beside Sakura.

"Kinomoto-san? You don't look so good. Daijoubu?" the guy's voice said. He turned to look at Sakura. But Sakura wasn't paying any attention to him. He observed her face. She had no expression on it. The guy was worried and began shaking Sakura's shoulders.

Sakura awoke from her reverie and turned to look at the guy. "Hey, what's the big ide--" Sakura said but was cut off when she realised who it was.
There sat Kenshin with a worried facial expression.

"Kinomoto-san, daijoubu desu?" Kenshin asked Sakura again.

Sakura nodded her head quickly. Kenshin chuckled at the change of her behaviour. Sakura stopped nodding her head and opened up her bento to see her favourite food, rice omelet and noodles.

Sakura felt so happy. She squealed inwards and had a goofy grin on her face. Kenshin realised this and bit back a laugh. Without hesitation, Sakura began eating her home cooked meal happily while Kenshin just ate some sushi.

'Hmm.. Did otou-san make this for me? After all, I didn't cook it,' Sakura thought in her mind curiously. 'But why would otou-san do this for me?' Sakura thought once more. She shrugged the feeling off and continued to eat her meal.

After Sakura and Kenshin ate their meal, the school bell rang indicating the end of recess. They walked to their classroom together.

--6.30--

The school bell rang signalling the end of school. Sakura and Kenshin said their goodbyes and went on their way. Sakura's heart never seemed to stop beating faster and faster when she was with Kenshin.

'Why am I feeling this way?' Sakura thought to herself, confused. She shrugged the feeling off and continued to walk.

Her steps had gotten faster and now she was hurrying to the apartment flat. When she reached the door to her apartment, she quickly unlocked the door and pushed it open.

Before she got in, she heard voices in the apartment. Two people were arguing with each other. She leaned in closer to hear the argument between the two. She heard her father's voice and a woman's voice. She gasped when she heard what they were talking about.

'No. No, this can't be happening,' Sakura thought as she held her tears in.

'NO!' Sakura screamed in her mind.
