Thankyou sooo much toTerunaHime for the review. This chapter is for you.

Chapter 2
Date??
----------Sakura's POV----------
It was finally lunchtime and so far Li had been right, we had all the same classes. I sighed as I walked into the cafeteria. Tomoyo hadn't been in my last class, she'd been in her fashion class, and since I couldn't see her anywhere, my guess is that she stayed back. I stared at my feet and headed towards the door that led outside. This year was really going to test my patience. How could I possibly have Li in ALL my classes? I didn't even know he liked creative writing. I sighed as I sat down underneath the biggest cherry blossom tree in the school yard and started eating my lunch. 'I wish I had my laptop with me. Then I could reply to Soccerstar's last email' I thought as I took another bite of my lunch. I wanted to know more about him. But what if he turned out to be some kind of murderer or something? I smiled as I remembered the email from last night. Suddenly, the school bell went, signalling the start of the next class. "Hoe! How did I fall asleep?" I muttered as I jumped up and raced off towards maths. 'At least Tomoyo is in this class.'
----------Syaoran's POV----------
I sighed as I felt her eyes on the back of my head again. "You know if you keep doing that, your eyes are going to make holes in the back of my head." I muttered.
"What are you talking about?" She shot back.
"The fact that you won't stop staring at me"
"I'm not staring at you" She replied. I laughed.
It was nearly lunchtime and I had already managed to annoy her so much she felt like killing me. 'I knew I didn't like her. If I did I wouldn't be getting so much enjoyment out of making her annoyed.' I smiled triumphantly. The bell went, and I felt her knock against my arm in her hurry to get away from me. I shivered as I felt goose bumps down my arms. 'What the hell?' I pictured her face in my mind and frowned. 'No not this again. You do not like her. There is no way you could possibly like her. Think about Emerald Cutie. You like her, not Kinomoto.'
My thoughts argued with me all the way to my locker. I wasn't sure what I was going to do about my feelings. They were getting out of hand. I made my way over to the table that Eriol and I always sit at with Yamazaki, Ryu and Kai. Eriol was already there waiting for me.
"Glad you could make it. You were so busy staring off into space last period that I was starting to doubt you remembered where we sit at lunch." I glared at him. "What were you thinking about anyway? Emerald Cutie?"
"None of your business" I snapped.
"Don't tell me that she finally decided you're a jerk and she doesn't want anything to do with you." He said.
"We still talk. We're still friends. It's still none of your business." I replied as my thoughts started wandering to the email I had sent Emerald Cutie last night.
----------Sakura's POV----------
"Hey Sakura I'm just going to go check something with my fashion teacher. Wait for me at our lockers before going to our last class for today?" Tomoyo asked giving me the puppy eyes. Maths had just ended and I had slept through the whole lesson.
I smiled. "Course I'll wait for you!"
"Thanks Sakura! See you in 5 minutes. I promise!" I laughed as I watched her race off.
'She always has some sort of fashion emergency.' I thought as I wandered over to my locker. 'What was my combination again? Oh I got it.' I swung my locker door open and grabbed my chemistry things. 'How did we end up with chem right after maths?' I wondered. I glanced at my watch. Tomoyo had already been 10 minutes. I sighed and decided not to wait any longer.
"Kura!" I heard someone yell as I was about to leave. I glanced up, thinking Tomoyo had finally arrived, and saw Eriol running towards me. I smiled and walked over to him.
"Heya Eriol." I said cheerfully.
"How's your first day going?" he asked.
"As good as any first day ever is." I replied. He laughed.
"Where's Tomoyo?"
"She went to check something with her fashion teacher and was meant to be here about 5 minutes ago."
"Oh I should have guessed." He said laughing. "But I didn't call you over to ask about your friend."
I looked at him curiously. "So what DID you call me over here for?"
"Well I wanted to know if you were busy after school." I stared at him.
"Well no. No plans yet. Why?" I asked, wondering where this was going.
"Well... just wondering if you umm... wanted to go get ice cream with me?" He said, staring at the ground. I smiled.
"Really? I would love to!" I said enthusiastically.
He lifted his head up to look at me. "Oh okay, cool. Meet you at the school gates after school then?"
"Sounds good to me" I said. I was about to add 'This is going to be fun' to the end of my sentence when I realised Eriol was looking at the ground again and turning red. 'This isn't a date is it?' I thought. "Wait..." I said slowly. He looked at me again. "Is this a... umm..." I started.
"A date?" He asked.
"Well umm yeah" I replied.
"That's what I had in mind." He said.
'A date?!? I can't go on a date with Eriol!' I screamed in my head. 'Why not? He's a good guy and you get along great' the other side of my head argued back. 'Well, maybe we could give it a try.' I reasoned. "Okay, well see you after school then." I said, and turned around to go. Just as I was about to take my first step I heard someone call out to Eriol.
I glanced up to see Li's eyes staring at mine. "What do you want?"
"Just being able to look into your eyes is enough for me Saku." He replied. I stared at him in shock.
"Are you sick?" I asked, hoping he would say yes. I mean, what else could have possessed him to say what he just said. 'Ohhh wait...possessed...he could be possessed!'
"No I'm not sick. And I'm not possessed either." He said smiling. I just stared at him.
'Can he read my thoughts?' "I'm going to class. See you Eriol." I said hurriedly.
"Yeah see you after school Kura." He replied.
"After school?" I heard Li asked. I smiled. Maybe going on a date with Eriol wouldn't be so bad after all.
----------Syaoran's POV----------
"After school?" I repeated, feeling sick.
"Yeah after school." Eriol confirmed.
"Why are you seeing her after school?"
"We have a date" he shrugged and headed off to our last class for the day – chemistry.
"A date?"
"Do you need to repeat everything I say?" He shot back.
I stared at him in shock, feeling like I had just been stabbed in the chest. 'Eriol has a date with Kinomoto?' I shook my head to clear my thoughts. 'Am I jealous?' I frowned. I couldn't be jealous of Eriol because I did NOT like Kinomoto. I wasn't sure what was going on with me. Maybe it was the weather. It was unusually warm at the moment. 'Yeah that has to be it. The weather is making me think crazy things. There is no way I like Kinomoto. We're enemies for life.' I glared at the ground as I followed Eriol to class.
I thought I was going to be ok once the lesson started, but for some reason I couldn't concentrate. I could see Eriol tossing notes to Kinomoto from the corner of my eye. For some reason, this annoyed the hell out of me. "I hope you get caught." I muttered angrily.
"Whoa what's up with you?" Eriol replied, giving me a funny look.
"Nothing..." I replied. I somehow managed to make it through chemistry, and headed to my locker without saying goodbye to anyone. I was about to leave in my green ford mustang when I saw Eriol holding Kinomoto's hand. 'Okay this thing with Kinomoto has to stop. Feel happy for your best friend. He deserves to be happy.' I was starting to think that I was going to end up completely insane if I didn't do something soon.
----------Sakura's POV----------
I smiled as Eriol took my hand, and we walked over to the ice cream place together.
"So what do you want?" He asked as he led me to a booth in the far corner.
"Mint chocolate chip!" I exclaimed happily. He laughed and went to order.
"So how was the last week of your holidays? You spent them with Tomoyo right?" He asked as he came back with our ice cream.
"Yeah, she has a coast house and we stayed there with her mum. But it was mainly just me and Tomoyo sunbaking and swimming and having fun. What about you?"
"Oh I was just as home getting ready for the new school year." He replied. I smiled and took a bite of my ice cream before it all melted into my hands. "Your hair looks good this year."
I looked up at him surprised. My hair had been down to my waist last year, but I decided it was time for a change, so after the first week of the holidays I got Tomoyo to take me to a hairdresser. They had cut it way to short so I was desperately trying to grow it again. At the moment it was just down to my shoulders and didn't look too bad. I smiled. "Thanks Eriol. You should have seen it before. It was so short!" He laughed.
"I bet it looked cute." I stared at my ice cream.
'What is this feeling that I'm having? Do I like Eriol?' I thought. I had hardly talked to him last year, but when we both ended up at the same place for the first week of our holidays, I started getting to know him more. He was a really nice guy.
"How's Touya?" He asked, changing the subject. I smiled.
"He's just as annoying as always." He laughed. We talked about our favourite movies, songs, singers, flowers, colours, and everything else we could think of until it started to get dark.
"Hey Kura as much fun as I'm having, I think it's time I took you home." He said suddenly.
"That sounds good" I said as he offered me his arm. We walked in a comfortable silence, each lost in our own thoughts. 'Do I like Eriol?' I asked myself. But no matter how much I thought about it, I didn't have an answer.
"So can we do this again sometime?" Eriol said suddenly, breaking into my thoughts and bringing me back to reality.
"Sure, I had fun." I replied. He smiled and suddenly leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. "Hoe" I muttered quietly as my heart skipped a beat, and turned and ran inside. "Goodnight!" I called as I slammed the door shut. 'What was that?' I asked myself. Suddenly, the words from Soccerstar's last email ran through my head. "I haven't replied yet!" I exclaimed as I ran up the stairs and waited impatiently for my laptop to start.
Hey Soccerstar
I'm curious because there aren't many people around who ever bother to think about me, unless it's my best friend thinking how 'kawaii' I look in the new outfit she's made me.
I often wonder if it's you whenever I see someone at school or around the streets. And I will only tell you one think about my appearance. I am definitely a girl.
I paused, halfway through the sentence 'I went on my first date today with this guy at school. I don't think...' 'No I won't write that' I muttered, my fingers already on the 'backspace' button.
Yes I still go to school. It started for me today too. It was good being able to see my friends again. I only saw one of them during the holidays. I also have a classmate who I'm enemies with. But they were acting strange today. I think the stress of the first day back was getting to them or something.
I want to know more about you also. Does your name imply that you are good at soccer? I'm good at soccer, but I never really got the chance to play because I'm a girl. It isn't fair.
Much love,
EmeraldCutie.
I smiled as I signed off. I hadn't mentioned my date with Eriol in the end. But I didn't think I really needed to. Soccerstar and I got along so well, I didn't want to wreck it by mentioning me having a boyfriend. Or a guy friend who I went on dates with. I wasn't quite sure what Eriol was to me yet. My friendship with Soccerstar might not be the same after that. I frowned as I started thinking of Li and the soccer game we played years ago. If he had just let me play we might have been friends. But he didn't. It really wasn't fair. He was a jerk.
A/N: Hmm so what do you thinkWhat's this about soccer coming between Sakura and Syaoran?
