This is my second story. I didn't finish the first one coz' it's messy. ; Anyway, hope you'll like it.
CHAPTER ONE
A sixteen year old, raven, semi-wavy haired girl went to the pergola and looked for her friends.
"Tomoyo!" someone called her.
She looked back and her friends waving at her at the end of the pergola.
"Hey! Come on, let's get going" she waved at her friends.
Sakura, Naoko, Riku and Chiharu got their bags and hurried up to Tomoyo.
"You're late!" Sakura said.
"So sorry, I just fixed some things in our classroom." Tomoyo apologized.
"What's that?" Chiharu asked.
"It's the bulletin board," she answered.
"Oh yah, we'll have a competition this month!" Naoko reacted.
"Yup, and SAKURA didn't even help me," Tomoyo frowned.
Sakura said with a sweatdrop on her head, "Sorry 'bout that. I was just so excited to go home."
"Sakura was so excited because of Syaoran," Riku answered straight.
"What? No…. Well, actually yes," the honey-haired girl said guiltily.
"Haha! Knew it," said Riku.
"How are you two coming along?" asked Tomoyo.
"Just fine," she blushed.
"How many months are you?" the braided girl asked.
"How many months are YOU and Yamazaki?"Sakura teased. Chiharu blushed red.
"…3 months," she replied.
"How about you Tomoyo?" the dark brown haired girl wearing oval shaped eye-glasses interrupted.
"What?" the Tomoyo wondered.
"You and…ehem… Eriol?" Naoko looked at her deeply with her right eyebrow raised up. Tomoyo blushed and looked at her papers.
"W…We never had a relationship!" she defended.
"Yah, but you told me that you and HIM were on." Sakura said.
"Actually, you told all of us." Chiharu added.
"Th-that was in my dream!" Tomoyo shouted.
The four girls laughed and Tomoyo was still red as a tomoato.
"Speaking of Eriol," Naoko whispered.
A tall, appealing, midnight blue haired guy with cool looking glasses was going towards them. He was holding his term papers and was scanning them page by page. They were all silent and were looking at him. When he passed by, the four girls looked straight at Tomoyo. She blushed.
"W-what are you looking at!" she asked.
"Nothing," said Sakura, still looking at her.
"Just wanted to see if you two are compatible with each other," teased Naoko.
"Which by the way, you two are compatible!" Chiharu said.
"Guys! You know I hate him!" Tomoyo said.
"Are you sure? You just said five days ago you were falling for his charms," Riku commented.
"I…Surely I am but, until know I still hate how he thinks that I have a crush on him!" Tomoyo said bitterly.
"And you do!" Sakura said.
"Shut up and let's go home!" Tomoyo hurried out the gate pissed off while the four girls were laughing.
They were already in Penguin Park when Naoko suddenly laughed. "Remember the time when Tomoyo gave him a letter saying that she hated him so much and at the same time she's falling in love with him?" Naoko giggled while she was getting her camera out of her bag.
"Ha-yah, I remember that, it was just three days ago" Riku laughed.
"What! You're the one who wrote that, not me!" being pissed off, she sat down madly in the bench and crossed her arms. "And because of that, my reputation was ruined in his data, and…and… he BUSTED me! As if I'm courting him!" she added.
"Um, correction? YOU were the one who wrote it and we're the senders!" said Sakura.
-FLASHBACK-
"Heehee, Tomoyo would kill us if she knew we placed this letter in Eriol's locker," Sakura giggled.
"Come on already! She'll knew that later on. Drop it!" Chiharu said excitedly. Sakura dropped the letter in Eriol's locker and ran immediately.
"This is going to be fun," Riku said.
Later, Eriol went to his locker to get his books for his next subject. When he opened his dull, grayish, simple locker, the letter fell down. Eriol picked it up and read it.
Dear Eriol,
I've got to be honest to you… every time when you walk around with your pride carrying in, I always get pissed off. Girls are like screaming then dies when you pass by them. But then, that time when you helped me with my project, a sudden feeling came to me. I realized that, I don't hate you. I hate the way girls flirt at you. I mean, come on!
Anyway, I hoped you like this letter (as if you're going to read it). And I hope someday I can go out with you.
Tomoyo
"Tomoyo?" Eriol sighed and placed the letter on a box where he keeps all the letters coming from those girls who adored him so much. "I never thought Daidouji will like me,"
The bell rang and students were going in. Before Eriol went inside his Chemistry class, he saw Tomoyo going in the stampede in Math class.
"Tomoyo!" he shouted. When she looked at where the voice was coming from, she was astonished.
"E-Eriol?" she gazed at him and was still at the surprised look.
"Yes, can we talk for a second?" he asked.
"…"
"Daidouji?"
"Uh-yah, of course, I've got the whole time in the world," nervously, she followed her one-and-only love of her life.
"What is it?" she asked.
"I'm very sorry but, I can't go out with you," coldly said by Eriol.
"Um… excuse me?" wondering, what the hell he was talking about.
"I really, really appreciate the letter you gave to me but, I just can't go out with you. Besides, you're not the girl in my dreams," he had this apologetic face and smiled afterwards. Tomoyo was thunder-shocked. It was like she was drowning in a bottomless pit of a cliff in the ocean. She can't breath. Her lungs can't expand. It was like it was locked in her ribcage. She was paralyzed.
"I've got to go. I'm going to be late for my Chemistry class and so do you with your Math class. Nice talking to you," he ran towards his classroom and closed the door. Still, the poor, paralyzed girl was still in the mode of shock.
After several minutes, she went in her Math class. The teacher asked why she was late but, she didn't respond. She just went straight to her place, sat down and was still at a shock. Staring at the table, Sakura wondered what happened to Tomoyo. She knew it has something to do with Eriol.
"Tomoyo-chan, are you alrigh'?" out of curiosity, she asked. Tomoyo bawled. Everyone began to look at her. Even the teacher stopped her discussion and was focused at her student.
"Tomoyo! Did I say something bad?" worried Sakura.
"No!" said Tomoyo with baby cries coming out of her face.
"What?" she asked again.
"That MORON thought I was asking him out! He BUSTED me!" Tomoyo even cried louder.
'oh no, she'll really kill us if she knew the letter!' Sakura thought.
The crying baby began to stop. Then, she began to ponder.
"Wait a minute," she said.
'uh-oh' reacted Sakura.
"He mentioned about…" Tomoyo was in shocked again and looked at Sakura.
"YOU GAVE HIM THE LETTER THAT I WROTE THAT WASN'T REALLY SUPPOSE TO BE SENT DIDN'T YOU?" she shouted at her best friend.
"Well…I…"
"YOU DID?"
"Well…I…"
"SAKURA! WHY DID YOU?" Tomoyo stood up and went mad.
"It wasn't my idea! I was…well…actually, Chiharu, Riku, Naoko and I formulated that idea but, it wasn't only me!" Sakura said.
"Still! I thought you were all my best friend!"
"We are! And I thought E…" Sakura was about to say his name but Tomoyo cut it off.
"DON'T ever mention his name." she said angrily. Everybody was still watching the scene.
"Okay, well we thought that HE'LL be happy. I mean, you are also one of the popular girls in school,"
"Yah, for having only one FAN for three years in highschool! You call that popular!" the mad girl went to beserk.
"Actually three,' the honey haired girl corrected her.
"So? What's the difference! It's still a small number!" Tomoyo said.
CLICK! (flashback interrupted)
"What the?" the girl riding to those memories was suddenly interrupted.
"Haha. Sorry about that. You're just so cute when you're in dreamland," said Naoko.
"I wasn't! I was reminiscing the time when I got angry at you guys," the raven-haired girl was still angry at her four friends.
"Haha, yah, that was terrible," the short-haired, energetic gal, Sakura sat beside her best friend and leaned her head on the bench.
"Hwa, the sky's so beautiful," she said. Everybody looked at the sky. The sunset's golden rays reflected the endless sky. The dirty white, stretched-cotton clouds were like being pulled by the sun. It was beautiful. Naoko looked at Tomoyo. She laughed and went near her friend.
"Come," said Naoko.
"What? Where are we going?" Tomoyo wondered.
They went to the small tree with beautiful, pink flowers and lively, greenish leaves. Naoko placed Tomoyo beside the beautiful tree and let her hold the flower gently at the bottom.
"I'm going to picture you. You'll really look beautiful in this," Naoko smiled and was getting the camera ready.
The model smiled and looked at the flowers. Suddenly a butterfly with amethyst wings landed at the flower that Tomoyo was holding.
"Perfect! At the count of three, one…two…three! CLICK," then Naoko pictured Tomoyo again. The two pictures were beautiful. The three girls that were left at the bench went near and was awed with the beauty of the picture. Tomoyo also went near.
"Naoko, you're so good in taking pictures," said Tomoyo.
"Nah. It's you who made the picture looked beautiful. You're fit to be a model and a beauty queen," the photographer commented.
Riku looked at the time and told them it was already late. So, the four of them started to get their bags and Naoko placed her two masterpieces in the pocket of her bag but, one wasn't properly placed in the pocket and was sticking out. When they walked, the picture fell to the ground without noticing it.
Just when they had vanished, a boy passed by Penguin Park and saw the picture with a beautiful student in it. He picked it up and began to smile. He sat down in the bench and he took out his 'private' notebook from his bag and pinned the picture at the last page of his notebook. Then he wrote at the space below the picture,
"My one and only."
You might think it's a one shot story...well, it's not. Hehe. Anyway, review please!
