Chapter 1: The First Encounter
Coming out from her old elementary school, she headed for her new school. She had been posted to a popular school, which are for students that are gifted in certain things. Well, she was gifted in one of the subjects. Her name was Minako Hirosue. As soon as she reached school, she started looking for her class --- 1A-3. She was hurrying when she bumped into a boy, all the books in her hand dropped.
*Some stupid jerk trying to take advantage of me!* She bent down to pick up her books and she was about to scold the boy when she looked into his eyes. She blushed. His eyes was magical!
"Sumimasenn (sorry)." The boy said.
"Yi e (nevermind), er...may i know where is class 1A-3? By the way, my name is Minako Hirosue. Call me Minako."
"Li Syaoran, call me Li-Kun. I'm in the same class too, but...I'm also new. Let's just hope we'll find our way." Minako nodded.
*Ohmigod! Why am I so happy when Li-Kun is in the same class as me?*
***********************************************
As they wondered around the huge school in hope of finding their class, a voice called out," Hey Syaoran! What are you doing here? Are you posted here?"
"Konichiwa (Hello), Eriol! Yeah, I was posted. Do you know where is class 1A-3? We are having a hard time finding it!"
"Ho hum! We are in the same class!" Eriol pointed at Minako. "And...may i know who she is?" Before Syaoran could answer, Minako said," Minako Hirosue, call me Mika."
"Well, call me Eriol, my full name does not matter..." Minako was not interested at all.
*Who wants to know your name? Think you can date me? Dream on!*
***********************************************
As soon as they reached their class, they chose their own seat: Minako sat beside Syaoran, while Eriol sat behind Syaoran. Girls stared at Syaoran, all interested in him. Just then, sensei came into the class. When sensei (teacher) was teaching, Minako, every five minutes, would take a peep at Syaoran.
#Knock knock# A teacher from another class had brought a student to her transferred class. She was transferred because her previous class had too much people and hence she volunteered herself to be transferred.
"Everyone, keep quiet! We have a student transferred to this class. Her name is Sakura Kinomoto." All the boys when "ga ga" at her, almost drooling while the girls envied Sakura. Syaoran's heart beat stopped. Sakura's eyes was the most pretty green eyes Syaoran had ever seen.
"Class! Stop chattering! Sakura will be seating at...let me see..." Minako, who heard what the teacher had said, prayed that Sakura would sit as far as possible from Syaoran as she had seen how Syaoran's attention went straight to Sakura the moment Sakura was introduced. Sensei then continued but now to Sakura," Sakura, you will being sitting in front of Minako from now on." Sakura walked towards her seat innocently. Minako's mouth hung open.
*What!? What is sensei doing?!*
Sakura had been deeply attracted towards Syaoran's amber eyes <she doesn't know his name>. She was a little disappointed when she did not get to sit behind or beside Syaoran, so she could always look at Syaoran. While Sakura was deep in thoughts, she did not know that Syaoran was thinking about her. He was smiling to himself, he could not even stop for one second thinking about Sakura. He was not sure whether this was called 'in love'. Minako was jealous. She tried to catch Syaoran's attention but instead, she got other boys' attention.
#Brring! Brring!# It was recess! Soon, boys crowded around Sakura and Syaoran was crowded with girls.
" Can i have your phone number?", "Are you free tonight, tomorrow or the day after next?", "How should i address you?", "My name is xxx.", "Do you want to go recess with me?" or "Can i be your friend?" etc. These questions were asked and expected them to be answered by Sakura and Syaoran. They finally could not stand it and elbowed their way out of the classroom.
After they walked out from the classroom, they both looked at each other and burst into laughters.
" You...new here?"
"No, how should i call you?"
"Syaoran. What about you?" Sakura looked away, afraid he would see the blush on her face and said,
" Sakura will do."
At this moment, Minako came out of the classroom and saw that Sakura and Syaoran was chatting happily, she pretended to cough loudly but neither Syaoran nor Sakura noticed her. They talked as though she did not even exist!
*How dare that brat seduce my lover!* Minako stormed towards Sakura and shouted but she went tongue-twisted.
" Y...YOu...You..."
"What's your problem, Minako?" Syaoran was puzzled.
Minako embarrassedly said," Er...er...hehe...er...ah! How should i call you?"
"Call me Sakura or Sakura-san. By the way, do i call you Minako or...?"
"Sakura-san, just call me Mika." Minako put on a fake smile.
" Syaoran, if we don't go now, we will not have enough time to eat, do you want to come with us, Mika?" Minako shook her head and they all said goodbye.*It is not fair!!! I get to know Syaoran for three full hours and could only call him Li-Kun while that bitch know him for only thirty minutes and can call him Syaoran!!!*
****************************************************
Sakura was at home, she was waiting for Syaoran's phone call --- she had given him her phone number.
*I wonder if Syaoran have powers like me? Impossible!*
"Sakura!!! Where's my dessert you owe me yesterday???" Sakura could hear Kero screaming and kicking the bed.
"Can't you wait? I'm busy!"
"Busy?!? I have been watching you! You are not busy at all! You are resting on a sofa doing nothing!!!I don't care! You..." Kero was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing. #Click!#
"Hello, is Sakura at home?"
"Syaoran!"
"Sakura, i want to know whether...er...y..you ar..are f..fr..free t...tomorrow...ni..night. Are you?"
Sakura was on cloud nine.*Oh my goodness gracious Jesus Christ! He is asking me to be his date!*
"You see...er...I'm go..going to a...par-Argh!!!"
"Syaoran?!? You there? Okay? Syaoran? Syaoran?!?"*Gosh! Something happened to Syaoran!*
