Greetings everyone! I know what you're thinking...but no, I'm no new author. In fact I'm an old one XD but I distanced myself from this stuff and now I've got some spare time so I'm back to spare it here. I don't have any of my old stuff uploaded, I remember I deleted everything before leaving the fanfic world, but don't worry, it wasn't really that good. I hope the new stories will be better, though. R&R People!!! Enjoy!!!
Disclaimar – I don't own the CCS cast. I wish I did XD but I don't. The rest I do.
Sumary – Syaoran had been in college for a year and a half already. Starting the new semester, though, he fiends out there's people he hadn't seen before. At first he sees in her just a friend of his friend, but will she become more?
Chapter 1 – Hi, friend-of-Eriol!
Slightly annoyed by the different degrees of happiness that all the people around him seemed to be experiencing, Syaoran paced through the corridor of the third floor of the third classroom building. He had just left the classroom where he was taking that annoying subject of Economy and Politics. He was studying engineering, for crying out loud! He hated those common classes that every single student had to take for the sake of some 'culture'. It wasn't his fault that the world was full of self-engulfed ignorant people, he thought.
Being the type of person he was, Syaoran didn't think too highly of the life he was living. Yes, he was handsome. Or so people told him. At least with his height and his strong body he accomplished some respectable image, along with his intense amber eyes and his messy but good looking brown hair. Still, he had very little reason to add a smile to all that. His looks and his grades didn't cheer him up at all.
Going down the stairs, he noticed a known face standing next to the path that led to the cafeteria. There he was, Eriol Hiragizawa, talking to some girl he hadn't seen before. He'd heard it from Eriol himself the last time they talked: he was into some girl he had just recently met. Maybe it was her, he thought. He had to find out.
"Hey Hiragizawa!" he exclaimed as he came in reach, a neutral expression on his face. Eriol turned around and it was then that Syaoran was able to see her: he couldn't deny it, she was beautiful. If it was her the one Eriol had been talking about, he sure knew how to pick them. She had one very cute pair of emerald shiny eyes, which perfectly adorned her innocent face. Her short, honey-colored hair was uneven but it suited her, he thought. It seemed like her own original style which gave her that little-girl look.
"Oh hey, Li! How are you today? Enjoyed yourself with some politics today?" asked his blue-haired friend with one of those soul-lifting grins of his. Syaoran always seemed to feel annoyed by it. How come he was smiling almost always? Had he no sense of reality? That Eriol…
"Yeah, right, like that could happen" he replied simply, again turning his gaze towards the girl. He mentally chuckled at her outfit, fascinated at the fact that this girl wasn't quite the fashion fanatic as many others he had seen up to now. She was wearing baggy jeans that hung casually from her hips, and a not-so-tight white blouse with dark blue sleeves that went all the way to her elbows. It was then that she caught his gaze and smiled at him sweetly, causing him to blush a little.
"You're taking the politics subject too? It's a real nuisance, isn't it? You should be taking it with Mr. Kings, he's quite the expert on the topic and makes the class a lot less boring" she commented, the sound of her sweet voice ringing in Syaoran's ears like music.
"Kings? Michael Kings? You're in his class?" he asked as soon as he snapped out of it. The girl nodded.
"Yeah, a friend of mine recommended him to me last semester so I took the advice and, honestly, I'm quite thankful. I was dreading that class like you have no idea"
"I bet I do. I'm studying computer engineering, so I'm basically not interested at all"
"Really? I'm studying that too!" she exclaimed happily, jumping with excitement. Syaoran's eyes widened in surprise. He was certainly not expecting that. Eriol hadn't told her about her and he was positive he hadn't seen women in their career.
"You…study…the same as Eriol and me?" he asked, obviously confused. Eriol chuckled at his facial expression.
"Maybe you hadn't seen her around because she's a year younger than us. This is only her first semester" he answered. Syaoran let out a small 'Oh' in acknowledgement.
"Yeah, I'm still a noob" she said, blushing a little. Syaoran couldn't help but think she looked extremely cute like that, but he quickly shook it off. She was Eriol's girl, for god's sake! Still…a girl engineer… he couldn't help but finding her extremely attractive.
"Uhm…yeah well…I wish you luck" he replied, turning towards the path that led to the other classroom buildings "Well I guess I'll be seeing you around. Later, Eriol! And uhm, bye…friend-of-Eriol!" he said sheepishly, waving a hand quickly at them before he left.
"Bye, friend-of-Eriol…" the girl replied, confused. Then she giggled a little. What a cute guy, she thought. Sadly, he never knew or even asked for her name. And she just knew his last name from Eriol. But maybe…just maybe they'd see each other again soon.
She smiled at the thought.

Walking up the stairs towards the classroom where he had to take his next class, Syaoran accidentally bumped into someone. The books the other person had been carrying suddenly fell to the ground because of the impact, and he heard a small 'Ow', with a voice that could only come from a girl.
"Jeez, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking" Syaoran said sincerely, picking the girl's stuff up as quickly as he could. Once he had all six of them, he handed them over to the girl, who looked shocked. He stared back at her confused, her amethyst eyes fixed on him.
"Oh my god…Syaoran Li?" she asked. Syaoran was taken by surprise with this question. Did he know her? He didn't remember her, but there was something familiar about her…
"Uhm…yes? Do we know each other?"
"Of course we do, silly!" she exclaimed, a huge grin spreading through her face "Don't you remember me?"
"Could you at least give me some hints?"
"Jeez, Syaoran! So slow! It's me! Tomoyo Daidouji!" she said cheerfully. Syaoran gasped.
"Daidouji? Oh my god, it's been ages!"
"I know! I haven't seen you since elementary school! What's been up with you?"
"Oh not much…after I left for Hong Kong it was just the regular routine, school and training, back and fort. And now I'm back for college. My mother said I could study anywhere I wanted to and I chose Tokyo"
"That's so good to know!"
"What have YOU been up to?"
"Not much either, but I have to tell you, I met the greatest girl in the world! She even wears everything I design! And she's so sweet! We've been best friend since high school!" she exclaimed. Syaoran chuckled as he remembered Tomoyo and her cloth-designing fever.
"That's great. I bet you're studying Fashion Design"
"I'm so busted!"
"Oh come on, it was pretty obvious!"
"I know, I know. What are you studying?"
"Now there's something that isn't obvious: computer engineering"
"Oh, so you're quite the intellectual guy"
"I manage, I guess…"
"You know, you should meet this friend I'm talking about, she—" Tomoyo was interrupted by the bell ringing, which made Syaoran flinch.
"God, no! I'll be late for class! See you around, Daidouji! Nice seeing you again!" he exclaimed, running away towards his classroom. Tomoyo giggled, watching his back as he left.
"He definitely should meet her"
