There Is A Difference (Part I of II)




A boy and a girl sat down onto a nearby bench.

The girl offered the boy a taste of her beautifully shaped ice cream. He decline, saying that he was too full after their lunch together.

There was a relaxing silence between them, as the girl licked contently on the dessert she was holding. Making sure that her ice cream wouldn't melt she looked at the person next to her.

"So Eriol-kun, have you decided who to take to the dance tomorrow? Your best friend or me?" Tomoyo asked taking a lick of her chocolate ice cream, unconsciously afraid she would ruin her white summer dress.

"Sorry to break the news to you Tomoyo-chan, but I've officially decided to take my best friend. I haven't been seeing too much of her lately and miss her so." He said in a dramatic tone of voice.

Tomoyo sigh sadly.

"Understood."

"So, exactly when do you want me to pick you up?"

"In all those romantic movies, I've seen, they usually have their escort pick them up at 7 PM sharp..." She mumbled to herself, lost in thoughts.

"Oh? I didn't know we were in one of those romantic movies...Are you taping us, my odd best friend?" As if emphasizing his point, he turned his head left and right, searching for signs of a blinking red light of any kind.

"Eriol-kun your imagination runs as wild as mine does." She said, shaking her head fondly before taking a huge bite of her ice cream cone.

"Ah, all too true, but I must have learnt it from someone." He hinted in an accusing way.

"Eriol..." She warned him.

They both knew that he was the one that influences her, and that he was in control of the relationship.

"Anyway, Tomoyo-chan, focus at the topic at hand. When do you want me to arrive at your place?" It has already been five minutes and this conversation was going nowhere.

Her expression turned serious, thinking of a time.

Impatiently Eriol interrupted her.

"Tomoyo-chan 'today' would be great. If you wait until tomorrow, the day of the dance, to give me a simple answer I will go and ask--"

"7:01 PM Sharp!" Her voice boomed over his.

He gave her a curious look.

"What exactly is the different between 7 PM from 7:01 PM?" Eriol smiled in amusement.

"There is a difference!" She exclaimed. "Do you know what one minute, 60 seconds, can actually take?"

"Not really Tomoyo-chan, but apparently you have a clue, so do entertain me with your wits." This was going to be an interesting chat.

"Well...A person's life can end in sixty seconds, a person can lose their virginity in less than a minute, and there are so many things, even 'I' cannot name them all." She babbled on.

Eriol smiled at the reasons she gave.

"Tomoyo-chan you have such positive point-of-view in life, did you know?"

"Are you mocking me Hiiragizawa, Eriol?" She glared at him fiercely. As if showing him she was angry Tomoyo took what was left of her cone and bit hard into it, a few crunch noises could be heard.

Eriol let out a shiver, either it was from the sudden cool weather or from her strong facial expression, he couldn't tell nor did he really want to find out.

He sighed and gave a slight nod.

"7:01 PM sharp it is."

Her glossed lips curved into a radiant smile.

...Maybe Tomoyo Daidouji was in some control of their relationship after all.

The conversation ended there as the boy offered to walked the girl to her house. They gave each other a quick, friendly hug along with a 'goodbye, see you tomorrow' and then parted ways.
