Winter Sonata – Monday

Monday mornings are never remembered.

But the moment I opened my green eyes, I should have known this Monday would be different.

It was just another ordinary day, waking up, putting on my school uniform, rushing down to eat breakfast….

For the past 17 years, my life had always been normal

But let me start from the very beginning…

I, Sakura Kinomoto, daughter of Fukitaka and the late Nadeshiko Kinomoto, am nothing special. I came to live in the small town of Tomoeda, when my mother died. I was only three years old. Since then, I've been living with my father, and older brother, Touya.

Ever since I arrived in this cozy town, I've been best friends with Tomoyo Daidouji, I met her when we were in kindergarten, and we were friends ever since. She lives in a big mansion with her mother, Sonomi. I heard her father died when she was only one. That's the one major thing we had in common, so I guess that's why we're so close.

Then there's Meilin Rae and Eriol Hiragazawa. Meilin is a pretty head strong person, although she doesn't live in a mansion like Tomoyo, she has lots of aspirations in her life, she wants to go to France someday, and study there after high school. I met her in kindergarten too, although it took a while before we actually became friends. It's hard to understand her personality sometimes. One minute, she can be so kind, and the next, she's snapping at you.

Now Eriol Hiragawaza on the other hand, lives two houses away from me, and is the only guy my brother Touya won't beat up. I met him the same time I met Tomoyo and Meiln, and when we were seven, he promised he'd marry me. Surprisingly enough, even after 10 years, he's still sticking to that promise. It's nothing personal, but Eriol just isn't my type of guy. Over the years, he's become nothing more than a very good friend, almost a brother! But I can't bring myself to tell him so.

I had no idea these people, including myself, would be trapped in a storm…

I usually went to school with Eriol and Tomoyo but for some reason, I woke up later than usual. As I picked up my cell phone, I noticed I had a new text message from Eriol. Apparently, he had a project that he had to finish up, so he decided to come to school early. Tomoyo had gone with him. I let out a sigh, Meilin never liked taking the bus to school, and she had probably already left by now. I couldn't deny it; I was taking the bus by myself. After I had headed downstairs, my father greeted me with a warm smile and a fresh plate of pancakes. Touya was also there was also there waiting for me.

"Do you want me to drive you to school? I'm heading over to work in five minutes."

"No, it's ok. I think I'll take the bus, I don't want you being late for work."

"Have it your way kaijuu."

"I'm NOT a kaijuu!"

And the discussion ended with Touya, a swelling foot, my father's quiet laugh, and my triumphant smirk.

As soon as I ate breakfast and kissed my father goodbye, I ran off to the bus stop. I almost though I wouldn't make it. Lucky for me, I was right on time and managed to find an empty seat in the back. I was exhausted from running around all morning, so I guess I dozed off.

When I woke up, I realized I my head was resting on someone's shoulder. When I looked up, I met the most amazing pair of amber eyes I had ever seen. I had fallen asleep on a boy, and a very handsome one at that. I mentally slapped myself; here I was again, the hopeless romantic waiting for her first love… I didn't want to think about that now. I looked at my watch and realized that I was late for school. To make it even worse, I was at the wrong stop!

I must have jumped suddenly because the boy I had fallen asleep on gave a bit of a grunt.

"It's about time you woke up. The moment I sat beside you, you fell on me like a sack of potatoes."

"Well, I'm sorry…"

"Whatever…."

Just who was this guy anyway? He was totally rude! But his sheer attractiveness made up for that. He had messy chestnut hair, tanned skin and a nice lean body. I had to admit that… Wait, what was wrong with me? I had to get to school! Shaking my head as I got off the bus, I noticed the boy had followed me. I looked around, I was half an hour away from the school, and that was if I ran majority of the way. I sighed, smoothing my long auburn hair behind me.

Why of all people did this happen to me?

A masculine voice snapped me back to reality.

"Are you just going to stand there all day?"

"No, I need to go to school."

"You'd better get going; you're late enough as it is."

"Don't you think I knew that already?"

"Well, sorry for trying to help you!"

What an ass, when I tried to be nice, he acted like a total jerk and now he was blaming me for my grouchy mood!

"Who the hell are you anyway!"

"I'm Syaoran Li; I came from Hong Kong to stay here for a while with my mother. I'm headed to school too, but the problem is, I lost the directions..."

A bright blush stained his cheeks. Ah, so Mr. Tough Guy wasn't emotionless after all. I almost snickered.

"There's only high school in this town, where I go."

"How far is it?"

"Half an hour if we walk…"

"Then I guess I don't have a choice."

With a sigh, Syaoran pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number.

"Wei, pick me up."

A few minutes later, I found myself in a sparkling limo, bigger than Tomoyo's. In less than five minutes, Syaoran and I stood in front of Tomoeda High.

"So, this is it…"

"Yeah… I should be getting to class…."

I had a mental image of the teacher making me do a dance in front of the whole class.

"Yeah, I'd better get going too, I have to find out where my class is."

"It was nice meeting you, thanks for the ride."

I really wanted to kick myself; it wasn't exactly a nice meeting at all. More like a mix of hell and detention combined. They were pretty much the same thing, but I didn't really give a damn right now. I was late for class and the teacher would be really pissed…

Syaoran gave a grunt in reply.

"I never caught your name."

"It's Sakura, Sakura Kinomoto."

"I'll remember that… I'll see you around… Sakura…."

Then he turned away and walked into the school, disappearing down one of the hallways.

I walked in the opposite direction and ran up the stairs to my classroom. All eyes fixed on me when I came in and I could feel my face getting hot.

"Kinomoto-san! You're late!"

"I'm sorry Sensei…"

"Why are you late?"

"I missed my stop sir…"

"Next time Kinomoto, I'd advise you to stop daydreaming and pay closer attention!"

"Yes Sensei…"

"You have detention with me today after school. Go sit down, and ask Eriol what you missed."

There was silence as I picked up my things and walked over to my seat. Tomoyo gave me a reassuring look as I walked past her seat, while Meilin gave me a smug smile. Eriol's attention flickered from the teacher to me in a heartbeat.

"So, Sakura, you sleep late?"

I poked his shoulder as I sat down.

"No, I fell asleep on the bus…"

Eriol couldn't stifle his laughter, but shut his mouth as soon as sensei gave him an evil glare from behind his glasses. As we discussed what I had just missed, we didn't notice the door open or the person who stepped inside.

I had just resolved not to tell Eriol about my encounter on the bus. He'd be jealous, not to mention angry. Too bad I had decided a little late.

When I looked up, I choked back a gasp. There, standing in the doorway, was the boy I had met on the bus. Syaoran Li….
