Chapter one: New school, new life, new me
Sakura Leigh: Hey guys I hope you like this story! I made it up for yall so enjoy!! Oh and though this is not based on Bring it on the tryouts scene does come from that movie so don't sue! Ya and I don't own CCS clamp does ok? R&R!
**Sakura's POV**
I'd like to tell you the story of my life, it isn't pretty but neither are a lot of things. My story starts out like many others. I was born into a respected and well off family. Then it happened when I was seven years old my dad's best friend who had driven me home from school, well he came inside and... well... let's just say I was not a willing participant in the stealing of my innocence. I no longer see sex as a thing of love; I see it as a thing of violence and hate.
That's harsh, but it happens to millions of women right? I mean at seven that's horrible but they got the man and punished him right? Wrong. That night when my parents came home from Touya's parent teacher meeting... they didn't see it coming. He used a chemical to knock them out; they didn't even stand a chance. "His" friends helped him; they murdered my entire family in front of me while each of them took a turn violating me. I blacked out from the pain and when I awoke I found the note.
TELL ANY ONE AND YOUR NEXT! I WILL FIND YOU NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO! YOU ARE MINE SLUT AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE!
I was seven years old, too young to fully understand what had happened, but old enough to know that I had been violated in a way that was immoral and extremely wrong. Old enough to have my mind filled with demons that made me relive it over and over again every night. I was old enough to be revolted by all human contact, old enough to feel dirty and to think of myself as less than human.
I grew up thinking of myself as less than those around me, but my stubborn nature wouldn't allow me to be meek. I changed from the sweet and innocent girl that I once was to a hardened bitter teen in the 8 years I spent home schooling in the orphanage.
I guess he really did know wear I was and how to find me because the reason I, at 15, have no friends; the reason I'm alone is when I after 8 years of silence I revealed my past there was a fire, a big fire. The biggest in over fifty years. I was the only survivor. They all died everyone, all the friends I'd made, the only family I'd had since "it" happened. I only got out because I was in the garden when it had started I was watching the stars; they were the only part of my life that hadn't changed. Well I was through with that. I'd had enough pain. So when they sent me to the branch of the orphanage in Japan I decided no more games, I'll be what I am and not give a damn about what everyone else thinks. Music and writing were my escapes; I told myself that I had survived because I was strong. It was time to go back to the real world no more hiding behind the walls of the orphanage.
I arrived quietly, and settled into the new place, but I asked right away to be enrolled into a regular high school, I had no idea what I'd gotten myself into...
**Regular POV**
"Sakura get up! You'll be late for your first day of school!" It was Maria the orphanage's councilor.
The yell startled Sakura out of her nightmare plagued sleep and she sat trying to look in every direction at once, it took a few minutes for the pounding of her heart to slow to its normal beats, then she called down to Maria, "I'm up!"
She pulled on her clothes, grabbed her backpack and slid down the stair well to where Maria stood holding out her skateboard.
She snagged her board and raced out the door tossing down her skateboard and jumping from the steps to land neatly on it and on her way. She knew she had enough time to get to school but she figured she should still rush.
On the way her dreams caught up to her and she had to stop, the fear passed and she started on her way again thinking she had only lapsed into her confused daymares for a second but when she reached the school driveway she heard the bell.
'Ah SHIT!' Sakura leapt up and grinded her way down the rail before landing two flights down level with the door. She kicked her board forward and it shot between the closing doors and stayed there, keeping them open. Sakura raced to the door, threw and to the front office, making it just in time, (the office closes during first period and homeroom because the principle teaches during that time).
"I'm Kinomoto Sakura the new student, I'm transferring from China," She said her skate board under her arm and her black leather bag hanging from her other one.
The secretary was young, only about 18 or so, she looked her up and wrinkled her nose in disgust; pressing the intercom to the Principal's office she spoke snidely, "Ms Daidouji, Ms... Kinomoto is here."
A voice came over the intercom, "Well send her in, quickly Rachel I have a class to go to."
The secretary smirked sarcastically and waved her hand towards a door, "That way."
"Judgmental bitch," Sakura grumbled under her breath as she stalked away from the front desk, "Talk about needing charm school..." She knocked politely on the door.
"Come in!" A soft voice called. Sakura entered to see a tidy office and a dark haired woman sitting behind a desk, "Hi I'm, Daidouji Sonomi, your principal. Welcome to Tomeoda High."
"Thanks..." Sakura stared the principal dead in the eyes, "Listen could I have my schedule, I'm kinda late!"
Sonomi knew this girl was tough from the defiant glimmer in her eyes. There was something about this girl that bespoke of a hard life, "Yes of course, your first class is in room 201. The first digit stands for the floor number and the last to digits are the room number. Here's your schedule, and have a nice day ok?"
"Yea what ever," Sakura said turning to leave the office, "Where's my locker?"
"Third floor number 7, the combination is on your schedule," Sonomi replied.
Sakura raced up to her locker and stuffed in her books and things; if she hurried she could still make it in time for homeroom and so not have to deal with her teacher later.

Syaoran sat on his desk while his current girlfriend, Merrin Tazuki, draped herself over him, tossing her bright blonde hair over her shoulder. She was captain of the cheerleading team AND the most popular, beautiful, and talented girl in all of Tomeoda High, the perfect girl for the captain of the soccer team, most popular, beautiful, and talented guy in all the school. They'd been going out for about three months. He glanced towards the clock, 15 minutes left, god this was such a bore. Then:
*KNOCK*
*KNOCK*
Mizuki-sensei to open the door, "Yes? Why hello!" Mizuki-sensei returned bringing along a girl Syaoran had never seen before, "Everyone this is Kinomoto Sakura a new student at our school. Please make her feel welcome."
Syaoran gaped at this new girl, her hair was a few inches short of touching her slim waist, and it was a dark crimson. Her nose was pierced and five earrings were in her left ear and four were in her right. A playboy bunny barbell was in her belly. She was wearing a tight black top that was ripped into a v-neck; it was ripped across the bottom so you could see her stomach. The shirt had horizontal rips down the front, and it was under a worn jean jacket. Her pants were extremely baggy and rode low on her hips held up only by a black, studded, leather belt. A black choker was wrapped around her neck, a spiky heart hanging from it.
"Sakura you can sit next to Mr. Li, Ms Tazuki please take your seat..." Mizuki-sensei said. Then when Sakura didn't move, "Well go on sit down, we need to get on with class."
Sakura turned and the class could see the thorny white rose vine tattoo across her lower back, "Well I would except for the fact that I have no idea who "Mr. Li" is!"
"Li, please raise your hand," Mizuki-sensei waited until Syaoran lazily raised his hand before turning to Sakura, who was now at her desk, "Why don't you tell us about your self."
"I'm from China and now I'm here," Sakura looked around, "There isn't much more to say."
"Of course there is!" a girl with dark purple hair, gothic makeup, and pale skin said.
Sakura looked at the girl gave her a brief smile, "Lemme rephrase that: There isn't much more I'll tell you."
"What a DYKE!" Merrin whispered to her friend.
Sakura dropped into her chair, "You know those commercials that say dying your hair doesn't kill brain cells? I hope their not true cause I'd hate to think you were born that stupid."
"What?!" Merrin turned on Sakura, "Listen Ms. Super Dyke, I'll have you know that my hair is one hundred percent natural."
"What's natural are those roots of yours, you really should get yourself a new hairdresser," Sakura leaned back in her seat ignoring Merrin.
Syaoran stood mesmerized, not only was this Sakura girl hot, oh no she was firey too! Unlike Merrin, Sakura had a personality...
Syaoran smiled at Merrin, he didn't want to betray his thoughts, Merrin was his girlfriend after all, "Don't worry babe, By tomorrow you'll be 2nd time cheerleading captain."
"Yea but even when I get it we still have to replace Ami, she broke her hip last week and we have no one to replace her," Merrin said ignoring Sakura, who by the looks of it couldn't care less.
Syaoran noticed her scribbling on a sheet of paper.

"Alright guys. This is the Tomeoda High Cheer Squad try-outs," Ms Daidouji called out to the crowd of waiting girls, "Everyone has filled out a form? On the bottom you wrote whether or not you were running for Captain. All right let the auditions begin. Last years Captain, you will be the one directing those auditioning and I will judge them."
"Daena!"
Name after name was called as each cheerleader was tested.
"Okay Merrin do your routine," Ms Daidouji watched as Merrin did a back flip cartwheel combo, then a cheer routine, "Well done Ms Tazuki I'm impressed, you are the best so far."
"So far?" Merrin screeched.
Ms Daidouji gestured and Merrin spun to see Sakura form in hand, Sonomi smiled, "Yes Ms Tazuki, it seems some one else is here to audition. Take a seat please."
Sakura slapped down the form and stood in front of them, "So what do you want me to do?"
"Double back flip step out, round off step out, frontward pike handspring step out, full spiral layout," Merrin said smugly.
Sonomi blinked, Merrin couldn't even do this routine, and no matter what if Sakura couldn't do it she didn't get off the team, "Ms Tazuki that is really unfair-"
Sakura smirked, "back handspring, triple back flip step out, round off step out, frontward pike handspring step out, full spiral layout ok?" She took off her jacket and dropped her chain wallet on the ground. Then she moved to the back of the gym and took a step: back handspring, triple back flip step out, round off step out, frontward pike handspring step out, full spiral layout.
Sonomi stared; Sakura had just done an even harder routine than the one Merrin had given her.
"Ok so you can flip, but can you cheer?" Merrin inquired sarcastically, trying to hide her awe, "Awesome! Oh WOW! Like totally freak me out! I mean right on! Tomeoda sure is number one!"
Sakura smiled falsely, "I transferred from Eastside Hong Kong, your school has no gymnastics team this is a last resort!"
Sonomi gave her a blank look.
"Ok, so I've never cheered before, but I'm a serious gymnast and I can handle being on the team and being Captain," Sakura said, "I bet I know more tricks than blondie over here."
"I bet you do..." Sonomi smiled, "Alright, you got it. Welcome to the team Captain Kinomoto."
"WHAT!!" Merrin screamed, "THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT THIS - THIS SLEEZY DYKE GOT CAPTAIN OVER ME!!!"
"She did, and that outburst just put you on probation, one more slip up and you're off the team, completely."
Sakura smirked, "See ya round Ms. Tazuki. Good luck with those roots."
Then she sauntered out of the gym.
Sakura Leigh: So what did you think? It's a start eh? N e ways I'll update soon! See ya!
