Hi guys, I just had this idea for a story one day and decided to write it up.

Summary: On her way to school one day, Sakura decides to say hello to the school's resident 'bad boy', Syaoran Li. From there begins a strong and complicated friendship.

I will be working with the school system I have in my country so the characters will be as follows:

Sakura – 16, Year 12 (second to last year at school)

Tomoyo – 16, Year 12

Syaoran – 17, Year 13 (last year at school, however he takes some year 12 subjects, you will find these out as the story continues)

Eriol – 17, Year 13

Oh and, I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura. Enjoy!

Chapter One

How It All Began...

Sakura woke up with a start and quickly checked her alarm clock. 'Hoe! Not again!' Hurriedly, she threw on her uniform, grabbed her school bag, raced downstairs and out the door, but not before snatching the piece of toast her Dad had left on the hall table in anticipation of her arrival.

Many years of 'practice' had taught Sakura to lay her uniform out and pack her bag prior to going to sleep, in an attempt to beat the clock and make it to school on time, just.

As she was running towards school a flash of amber hair caught her eye. 'There he is again.' Sakura didn't get it, he was up in time to go to school and yet he would never attend, he would just sit on the bridge railing and smoke.

He, was Syaoran Li, a year above her at Tomoeda High. Sakura saw him every now and then on her way to school and Eriol, who was in his year, had informed her as to who he was. He was a regular 'bad boy' as people would describe him and Sakura never really paid attention to him.

Today Sakura decided to do something out of the ordinary. As she walked passed him, she smiled and cheekily said good morning. No response, he hadn't even twitched. 'I guess that was to be expected', she thought and continued on to school.

It had been three days since that encounter and Sakura hadn't seen or thought about the incident since.

As Sakura dashed towards school, once again late, she noticed him sitting on the bridge and decided to, once again, say hello and as expected, he ignored her. It was at that moment Sakura decided she would continue to say hello to him, if only for a bit of fun on her way to school.

So this continued for the next 2 weeks, every time Sakura saw Syaoran Li, she would say hello and he would ignore her.

Today, Sakura had woken up on time. She walked downstairs, only to be greeted by her brother.

"Ohayo Touya!"

Touya looked around frantically. "Oh. My. God. What has the world come to? The kaijuu is actually awake and not late to school?"

Angrily, Sakura stomped on his foot and then sat down and ate her breakfast. She knew that if she left now she would be on time for school for once, however, it had become a bit of a habit for her to greet Li and she wasn't sure he would be there if she left now.

Sakura noticed her dad watching her expectantly and knew he would want her to leave. 'I guess it doesn't really matter if I see him or not, it's just kind of fun,' she thought and slowly she walked to school.

As she got to the bridge, she looked up, half expecting to see him, but he wasn't there. Disappointed, she continued kept walking.

"Not going to say hi today?" A deep voice came from behind her.

In shock, Sakura turned around and sure enough, there was Syaoran Li, sitting on the bridge.

"You weren't there..." She replied slowly.

"'You're early." He responded, matter of factly.

Embarassed, Sakura admitted, "I woke up early for once...you... you're talking to me?"

"Yeah, I guess I've got a bit used to the random girl who always says hi in the morning," Syaoran smirked.

"Oh!" Sakura realised, "My name is Kinomoto Sakura, it's nice to finally talk to you."

"Li Syaoran. You know, you will be late if you don't leave."

"Oh...right. Okay. I'll see you around then?"

"Maybe." Li responded nonchalantly, proceeding to pull out a cigarette while turning away, indicating their conversation was over.

Reluctantly, Sakura left and made her way to school. She couldn't believe it. He had spoken to her, and he had been, well, nice. She had to admit she hadn't expected that.

When she arrived at school, her friend Tomoyo Daidouji greeted her.

"Ohayo Sakura!"

"Ohayo Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura replied cheerily.

"You seem extra happy today Sakura" Tomoyo replied, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Life just got a little more interesting, I'll tell you later."

Just then, the bell rang, and so began the school day. Strangely, Sakura found herself eagerly awaiting the next day, the walk to school to be precise.

End of Chapter One. I hope you guys enjoy it. It's not a long chapter, more of a prologue I guess. Review if you would like ^_^
