Chapter 1: When Tomboy Meets the Model

~*~Sakura POV~*~

What a nasty day. I look out the window and watch the rain pour down heavily. I chew my gum smoothly and form a nice round bubble. POP! I continue to chew again. I watch my best friend, Tomoyo, helping out her customer. Tomoyo works at a small supermarket as a cashier. I always visit her every night, mostly because I get free gum.

"Thank You Come Again!" I heard Tomoyo shout.

"Gee, how boring. You just stand there and wait for a customer. Don't you get stress from all this?" I ask as I blow another gum. POP!

"No, it's actually fun" said Tomoyo

"Yeah whatever" I said as I roll my eyes. When Tomoyo and I are together, people tend to compare us; Tomoyo as a nice sweet girl and me as a brainless tomboy. Okay, I guess I could be call a tomboy since I wear baggy jean and oversize t-shirt plus a cap, but BRAINLESS? Come on, I'm smarter than most people think.

"Oh no! I forgot to turn on the lights outside! Sakura can you watch the counter for a moment?" ask Tomoyo

"Sure, just hurry back" I said as I pop another bubble. Tomoyo quickly ran out.

DingDingDing I heard the door open. Wait the door open? That means that I have a customer! But I don't know what to do? I don't even know how to work this machine that calculates prices. Ok clam down, everything will be fine. Tomoyo will get back soon. I saw a guy, who look about my age, walk in. I observe him grab a candy bar and walk toward my way. SHIT! Ok clam down, I can do this. He is only getting a candy bar, so that is only 50 cents. I chew on my gum rapidly. Why am I so nervous?

"Hey, when does the girl cashier works here?" he ask

"Excuse me?" I observe his messy chestnut color hair and his sharp amber eyes.

"My friend has a huge crush on her, so I came here to ask her a favor" he said. Is he talking about Tomoyo?

"So when is she coming in for work? Can you tell me her number or something? Oh come on, you can tell me, it'll be a guy to guy conversation" A g-guy? Did he just call me a GUY? Ok people call me tomboy, but a GUY!

"Sorry, but I can't tell you!" I said as I try to hide my anger.

"Why not? I promise I won't do anything bad to her" he said.

"I SAID I CAN'T TELL YOU!" I holler. If he doesn't get out of this market soon, then I'll throw him out!

"Gee, you didn't have to scream at me" he said.

"I know, why won't I …"

"NO NO NO!" I shout before he can say another word.

"Can you shout at your customer like that? You know you can get fired easily." Like I care, I don't even work here.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo ran over to us.

"I'm sorry, did I take long?"

"Sakura? Isn't that a girl name?" I heard him say. I glare at him.

"AH-HA-HA-HA, you got a girl name?" he said as he laugh and point at me. Gee, why can't he tell that I AM a girl?

"Excuse me, but she IS a girl" Thank you Tomoyo for telling him!

"Uh… What? Really?"

"I'm leaving, bye Tomoyo" I said as I quickly walk out of the market. What a JERK! I hate him. I really hate him. But no worries, I'm not going to see him EVER again.

*The Next Day*

"Lady Sakura it's time for school" I heard one of my maids call me. I'm Sakura Kinomoto, one of the rich daughters in Japan. My father is a famous man, who owns the famous broadcasting company called, Harmony. Yep, my dad own that place. It's a place where many actors, models, and singers work. Yeah, that means that I can meet famous people, but one problem, I DON'T CARE A SHIT ABOUT THEM!

I walk down the long stair way and grabbed my cap off the table. I reach over for my roller blade and put them on.

"Good morning princess" I heard my dad said.

"More like a prince to me" said Touya. I gave Touya my evil glare.

"Don't call me a prince! Only boys are called that way" I said.

"Oh! I'm sorry, aren't you a boy?" said Touya with a mocking smile. This time I gave him my death glare. One day, I mean ONE DAY I'll put his life into misery.

"Gee, why do you wear pants under your skirt?" ask Touya.

"Cause its comfortable!" I remark. I hate wearing dresses and skirts, but I have to wear this stupid girly uniform. Then again there were no rules that I can't wear pants underneath it.

I rode my roller blade down the streets. I took out a piece of gum out of my pockets and stuff it into my mouth. I began to chew the sweetness of a strawberry favor. I blow out the gum. POP! I began to pace up my speed as I rode toward my school.

"Tomoyo!" I yell as I ride toward her. I quickly press my break, but somehow I was still going! OH NO! BANG! I bump into the stiff wall. Ouch, that hurt.

"Sakura, are you ok?" ask Tomoyo.

"Yeah, I'm ok." I said as I open my bag and took out my tennis shoe.

"Sakura Kinomoto! Didn't I tell you that you can't wear cap in school!" I heard my principle said. Gee, I hate him. He was cubby like a brown bear and lazy like a panda bear. He doesn't really have any hair left in him, so he wore a wig.

"Sorry, Principle … Um... principle…." Shit I forgot his name.

"Chiba!" whisper Tomoyo.

"Right! Principle Chiba!"

"Class is almost starting so hurry up and go!" he demands. Did I mention I hate him?

"Right!" I said as Tomoyo and I quickly ran along the hallway.

"I hate him so much" I said to Tomoyo.

"Yeah I know, you tell me that every day." said Tomoyo. I really hate the Principle ever since he wouldn't keep his mouth shut to my dad of what I do in school. Why can't I ever keep my privacy? Tomoyo and I walk into our classroom, which seem to be noisier than usual.

"Did you heard, we're having a new student" I heard a girl said.

"I heard he's a new model!" I heard another girl. A model?

"Ok class, please take your seat!" shout out my teacher, Mr. Aki.

"Today, we're having a new student" I saw a boy walk in. No, it can't be. It just can't be HIM!

"Sakura it's the boy that came over to the market last night" whisper Tomoyo. Damn! Even Tomoyo recognize him.

"Hi, my name is Syaoran Li." he said.

"Please take a seat Syaoran" said Mr. Aki. I close my eyes, hoping that he doesn't choose a seat near me. Then I heard his footsteps coming closer to me. Crap! I forgot that no one sit by me. I heard the chair pull back. NO! This can't be, he choose a seat right next to me. Oh wait! Maybe he doesn't remember me. Yeah, I wore my cap yesterday, so he probably doesn't recognize me.

"Hi Sakura"

DAMN! HE REMEMBERED ME!

"You're actually wearing a skirt…ummm… with pants underneath it" I squint my eyes, embarrassed. WHY! WHY! WHY!
