Prologue
A girl with long auburn hair and bright emerald green eyes read the note she was given with a smile on her face, not paying any attention to the teacher that was coming her way.
"Sakura!" A guy with amazing amber eyes and messy chocolate colored hair called to her in whisper. The girl known as Sakura looked up immediately, threw the piece of now unfolded paper under her notebook and pretended to be reading the paper the teacher provided, which is what she was supposed to be doing. Once the teacher walked past her desk and was yelling at one of her fellow classmates for falling asleep, she giggled and turned to him.
"Thanks Syao," Sakura said smiling warmly to him as she pulled her chair up to the corner of his desk. "So Mr. Li Syaoran a.k.a Mr. Popular, what's the assignment?" Sakura asked with a grin.
"I'm not Mr. Popular. I just know a lot of people," the amber-eyed guy known as Syaoran mumbled as he passed her the sheet of paper with their assignment. They had to do a marriage project together for a week and the two best friends were assigned to be partners, or husband and wife.
"Great. A baby boy at age seventeen," Sakura sighed looking over the paper.
"Sakura I don't know why you don't go to all of the parties. I mean, you're a cheerleader captain, you've got a ton of guys after you who I have to beat up daily," Syaoran said suddenly looking at her while she gave him a playful glare, while he paused at that last part. "It's not like you're socially handicapped. You could really be up there and be voted as homecoming queen."
"You know I'm not interesting in those kind of things Syao. I wouldn't know how to act at the parties for all of those people. And anyways, I need to—" Sakura began
"Concentrate on your studies. I know, I know. But would it kill you to come to one of my parties? Mom really misses you, and she thinks we've been in a fight for the past four months," Syaoran said giving her the puppy eye look, making Sakura sigh.
"I'll think about it," she found herself saying. 'How is it that I just can't say no to him? Oh yeah, I'm practically in love with him,' Sakura thought sarcastically to herself.
--* At Lunch *--
"Sakura!" Syaoran called waving her over. She really did want to sit with him… it was just who he was with. But it looked like she didn't have much of a choice, for everyone else was sitting there as well. She sighed inwardly and pasted on the same smile she put on every morning.
"Why did you call that slut over here Li-kun?" A ditsy blonde asked him twirling a piece of hair around her finger.
"Because he wants to be rescued… from a bitch like you," Sakura said with her tray in her hands, sending the girl a cold glare. The girl whimpered and got up as she sat with the other cheerleaders, mumbling something about taking Sakura's spot as captain soon.
"Wow, she's actually sitting with you for once Syaoran," one of his best friends, Kishi Tai said to him with a grin. Everyone knew that Tai had a thing for Sakura… well, everyone excluding Sakura and Syaoran.
"And then you wonder why I don't sit with you Syaoran. It's because of idiots like him," Sakura said coldly while sitting down, leaving everyone laughing.
"Well I only act like an idiot around you for I am stunned by your beauty," Tai said dramatically making Syaoran frown, Sakura roll her eyes, and have everyone else laugh.
"I think not. You just as like an idiot in general," Sakura shot back, taking a sip from her coke.
"So how would you like to go out with this idiot tonight?" Tai grinned making Sakura laugh her melodic laugh before stopping abruptly.
"No," Sakura said again in a bored tone, but in a sharp tone.
"Brrr Sakura, that was cold," a girl with long dark hair and amethyst eyes said to her. She was another one of Sakura's best friends.
"Not really Tomoyo, he set himself up for it," Sakura grinned, finished off her fries. "I'm done, I'll be at my locker if ya'll need me, but I'll be back soon," Sakura said to everyone smiling.
"I'll be waiting for you sexy," Tai said to her as he kissed the air as if it would make its way over to her. Sakura rolled her eyes before glaring at him.
"Then you'll be waiting a long time… Hun," Sakura exaggerated. Rolling her eyes once more, she took off sipping her coke.
"What's up with you man?" Syaoran asked immediately once Sakura was out of ear shot.
"What do you mean?" Asked Tai confused.
"Hitting on her like mad?" Syaoran asked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Everyone at their table stared at him dot eyed.
"I've only liked her since the ninth grade," Tai said looking at him as if he were mad. "Where have you been?"
"Uh oh, looks like Syaoran's got something going on for Sakura," Hiiragizawa Eriol, another one of his closest friends said to him nudging him in the sides. Tomoyo just took Eriol by the collar dragged him away shaking her head sadly, with a flock of laughing girls behind the couple.
"If you really don't feel a thing for her, let's have a bet," Tai said to him grinning. Syaoran moved his head upwards, urging his friend to continue. "Go out with her for a month, break up with her and let me pick up the pieces. But, if you just so happen to fail… you owe me lunch everyday for all of this year and a thousand bucks."
"No way in hell! If I were to go out with her things would be all messed up and if— when we break up things will be all weird," Syaoran said making a face and correcting his slip up.
"Haven't you noticed every guy Sakura's gone out with, for even two months she's like best friends with them afterwards? What are you really afraid of Mr. Li?" Tai asked with a smirk.
"Nothing," Syaoran growled, his patience being tried. Tai just shrugged. Growling under his breath, he grabbed his friend's hand and shook it. "You're on." It was only after Tai had left for a class, Syaoran, being by himself since he had a spare, did he realize how deep he had gotten into.
