Chapter 3
New girl
----------Syaoran's POV----------
It was a brand new day and I had another hour before I had to be at school. I don't know why I was up so early, I just couldn't get a certain emerald eyed girl out of my head. My thoughts of her were seriously starting to get annoying. I sighed as I turned on my laptop and waited for the internet to load.
DING!
I glanced at the computer '1 new message from EmeraldCutie' I smiled and clicked on the email.
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.
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. 'Hmm what do I say to this? Should we start giving out personal details?' I decided that a few things couldn't hurt, as long as I didn't get into specifics. And I was definitely glad that she's a girl. I was about to start writing a response when I realised I was meant to be picking my cousin up from the airport before school. "Crap" I muttered. I wrote my response as fast as I could, and clicked 'send' as I grabbed my school bag and rushed to my car.
Twenty minutes later I was standing in the airport watching people get off the plane.
"SYAORAN!!!" I sighed and stared at the girl running towards me.
"Hey Meiling" I greeted.
"I haven't seen you in so long. I'm so glad I'm here with you now." I sighed. This was going to get tiresome.
"You are not living with me."
"Oh I know. I already got my own place." I smiled in relief. "Hurry up Syaoran. I don't want to be late on my first day." I laughed.
----------Sakura's POV----------
I was excited. Apparently there was a new girl today. I loved it when new people came to school. I had been early that morning because Tomoyo stopped by half an hour before school and woke me up. 'Just one of the many reasons why she's my best friend' I thought as I smiled at her. Just then the classroom door opened and Li walked in with a girl I've never seen before.
"Talk later" I heard him say to her before taking the seat in front of me. I sat there shocked. 'He's friends with her already?' I felt a weird stabbing pain in my chest. 'What the hell? Don't tell me I'm jealous of the new girl. No way. She can have Li for all I care.' I decided to take a look at the new girl. She had long black hair and red eyes and was really pretty. She caught my eye and smiled, and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Would you like to introduce yourself?" my teacher said suddenly.
"I'm Meiling Li and I just moved here from Hong Kong to be with Syaoran. I like running and would do anything for my friends." She said as she smiled. I heard Li groan and couldn't stop a smile from spreading. I think I was going to like this girl.
It was lunchtime before I finally got the chance to talk to Meiling Li. I was sitting at Eriol's table in the canteen because he had called me over. We were currently deciding on a time and place for our next date. I wasn't quite sure where anyone else was. Rika, Chiharu and Naoko hadn't been at school all week because they were still at the coast, but Eriol's friends had just disappeared. Tomoyo was in the fashion room as always. Suddenly I heard a slight thump as someone sat next to me.
"Hey Kinomoto!" I turned and saw Meiling's red eyes staring into my emerald ones.
"Oh hey Li" I replied.
"Please call me Meiling."
"Ok, then you have to call me Sakura."
"Awesome. That's such a pretty name by the way." I just smiled. "So are you friends with Li?" She asked.
"Well, that would be stretching it a bit." I muttered. "How do you know him?"
"Oh he's my cousin" She replied.
"Sakura and Syaoran are worst enemies, although not many people completely understand why." Eriol said. I had almost forgotten he was still with us.
"Oh this sounds like it could be an interesting story." Meiling said, staring at me.
"Yeah well maybe another time" I muttered.
I was relieved when Tomoyo finally turned up. I looked up at her and was about to greet her when I noticed her expression.
"What's wrong Moyo?" I frowned.
"Nothing" she replied, sitting down and smiling at me. I looked at where her eyes had been staring and noticed Eriol's hand on top of mine. My eyes widened but I didn't say anything. 'How did I not notice his hand there?' I thought. I felt kind of uncomfortable, so I removed my hand from under his and grabbed my rubbish.
"I'm going to get my things for next lesson. I don't want to be late." I muttered as I left.
----------Syaoran's POV----------
I was meant to have met Eriol in the canteen about 15 minutes ago, but I'd been held up by these stupid girls who kept asking me out. I hate it when girls do that! I raced over to the canteen so that I wouldn't be any later. 'Eriol is going to have fun with this. I hate being late.' Just as I got to the canteen I ran into someone and fell down. "Oww" I muttered.
"Hoe" I heard a voice say.
"Sakura?" I glanced at the girl who was on the floor next to me.
"Don't you ever watch where you're going? And it's Kinomoto to you." She said angrily as she got up and walked off. I sighed.
"Syaoran are you ok?" I looked up to see Meiling staring at me with wide eyes.
"I'm fine. Just ran into someone." I muttered.
"Eriol is wondering where you are. I thought I'd come look for you. Come on." She held out her hand and pulled me up. "Whatever"
"Heya Syaoran, what took you so long?" Eriol asked smiling. I glared at him.
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh just wondering if you minded me ditching you on Saturday to spend time with Kura." I stared at him.
'Of course I mind! Why on earth wouldn't I mind? I want to be with her.' I screamed in my head. But out loud I just said "Yeah that's fine" I got up and walked to class feeling jealous, angry and upset.
I could feel Sakura's eyes on me all through our creative English class, so I kept staring at my desk. Suddenly I saw something white flash past my eye and land on my desk. I looked down and saw a piece of paper that had been scrunched into a ball. I opened it curiously.
'What's wrong? And don't say nothing cause I can tell that something is up. Not that I care or anything, but you're acting weird. Cherry.'
I raised my eyebrow. 'How does she know something is wrong?' I wondered. I wrote back.
'I'm fine. Mind your own business in the future. Saturday is MY day with Eriol. In future, BACK OFF. Wolf.'
I threw it over my head.
----------Sakura's POV----------
I sighed as I read the note I got back. 'Fine I will mind my own business. And he can have Eriol on Saturday. I don't care.' I thought. I threw the note into my bag and didn't bother talking to him again. 'Just one more class and today is over.' I smiled. Class without Tomoyo was pretty boring. After what seemed like years, the bell finally rang. I jumped up and walked out of the classroom to find Meiling hanging onto a very irritated looking Syaoran. I laughed. "Hey Mei"
"Hey Kura"
"What you up to?"
"Oh nothing, just hanging out with Syaoran." She said.
"I'll see you after school k?"
"Yeah. Remind Tomoyo."
"I will" I called over my shoulder.
"Let go of me Meiling! I have a class to get to!" I heard Syaoran yell as I rounded the corner.
When I got to class I saw Tomoyo and Eriol already there. I smiled at them and went to sit down. "Hey Moyo don't forget we're meeting Mei after school and going shopping." I said.
"Ohhh yeah I forgot! We got to get you some pretty clothes for your date on Saturday." I rolled my eyes.
"Actually Eriol, Syaoran said something about Saturday's being his day with you. I don't want to interfere with your friendship so maybe we should meet up some other time?" He raised his eyebrow.
"I don't know why he mentioned it but I talked to him and he said it's fine. I'll still spend most of my Saturday's with him. And I see him all the time at school so don't worry Kura."
I smiled. "Ok, Saturday it is."
Class dragged on for ages, and I spent most of it staring out the window wondering what clothes Tomoyo and Meiling were going to make me try on. "Hey Moyo I have to go to my locker after class so I'll meet you at the school gates ok?"
She smiled. "Ok Kura"
----------Syaoran's POV----------
It was the end of school and I had finally managed to lose Meiling. Her car had arrived part way through the day, and her mum rang to say her house is ready, so she doesn't have to stay with me. I was relieved, and she knew it. I sighed as I swung my back over my back. Having Meiling here was already causing problems. Especially since she was friends with Kinomoto.
I was about to leave when I noticed people starting to gather around the notice board. Our sports teacher was there pinning something to the board. I glanced at it and read the new notice slowly. "Soccer tryouts this Saturday for the big tournament in ONE MONTH'S time! Anyone who is interested please just turn up at 9:00am Saturday. Chance of a lifetime. All players welcome."
----------Sakura's POV----------
'What's all the fuss about?' I wondered as I saw a big group of people standing around the notice board.
"Soccer tryouts this Saturday for the big tournament in ONE MONTH'S time! Anyone who is interested please just turn up at 9:00am Saturday. Chance of a lifetime. All players welcome." I heard Syaoran read out.
My eyes widened as I turned to Tomoyo who had snuck up behind me. "Hoe! I have GOT to get into that tournament Moyo!"
