part of Card Captor Sakura.
"Are you kidding? I'm a gentleman for pete's sakes!" eighteen year old Eriol Hiiragizawa, second year college, said while talking to his friends. "It's a bad plan I'm telling you", he added, crossing his legs. Eriol and his friends, Ian and Hamilton we're at their rooms that lunch time. People don't want to hang around in their classroom so it was only the three of them. Ian and Hamilton said that how about to play a game with a girl named Tomoyo Daidouji, who in the other hand a new student from Japan and studied in England. She was new in Eriol's school when she was in first year college. Honestly speaking Tomoyo does admire Eriol. And in the other hand Eriol had a relationship with their Homeroom and Music teacher Kaho Mizuki. Which everybody knows...including Tomoyo. "I'll tell Kaho about it", Eriol said to his friends.
"Look Eriol my man! All you have to do is court her, be her boyfriend for couple of weeks then break her up!" Hamilton explained.
"I'm using her already! And besides...everybody in this school knows I have a relationship with Kaho. She will wonder 'why?'" Eriol shot back, running his fingers through his soft blue hair. "Besides why do you want to play with this girl anyway?" he asked.
"Coz' she admires you", Ian answered.
"Really?" Eriol said, flattered. "Whom did you know that?" he asked.
"Actually we just heard Tomoyo and her friends talked. It was an accident", Hamilton replied.
"Tell me a good reason why I should play with her?" Eriol asked for the last time. Hamilton and Ian looked at each other. Then Ian answered.
"Coz' you and Mizuki-sensei are not meant to be", he answered frankly.
"Oh? Why?" Eriol suggested knowing more.
"For god's sake Eriol! Look at you! Your popular, have the looks, a kind man, a girl's dream and yet...you choose our teacher!" Hamilton explained, almost he wanted to yell.
"Coz' I love her", Eriol said to them in a serious tone. He uncrossed his legs and ease back at the chair. He thought of this foolish game his friend's say, what he will be in when he will accept it, and just break the girl's heart in the end. And he thought himself as a user and his reputation will be ruined. This is a man to man talk and he doesn't want to back out. "What if I fell in love with her?" What if he will? He'll leave Kaho.
"Then all you have to do is think if you love Mizuki-sensei or Tomoyo. But if I were on your place I'll choose Tomoyo. Look she's beautiful, kind, intelligent and has a good voice in singing. It's just that you and Kaho are not meant to be...not meant to be", Ian said to him. His words soft not to break his friend's heart but Eriol's heart was broken when he heard them he and Kaho are not meant to be. Eriol sighed, closing his eyes, thinking for a moment and then open them.
"I'll do it!" he told them. His friends nod their head and gave him a smile. He smiled...a wry smile. He had made his decision. ~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo Daidouji was reading her notebook while walking coz' they have a test. Until someone tapped at her back, she looked around and saw her friends. "Hey Frederica and Giovanna! What's up?" the cheerful Tomoyo asked.
"Nothing much. I see your studying for our test", Frederica answered.
"Yeah. I don't want to have a low grade you know", Tomoyo answered with a smile, as the three walked to their classrooms.
"I wonder what Japan looks like? I want to go there someday!" Giovanna said to them and exclaiming the words out loud.
"Well Japan is really nice indeed! And also the cherry blossoms which is called Sakura", Tomoyo explained.
"Tomoyo are you gonna stay here in England forever?" Frederica asked, hoping her friend will say yes.
"I don't know", Tomoyo lied.
"You're lying again Tomoyo", Giovanna said in a sing-song voice. Tomoyo sighed. Her friends really could see right through her.
"I'm sorry. I'm going back to Japan this summer. I don't know when but I'll go when my mom called me", Tomoyo explained, sadness was in her eyes.
"Tomoyo dear we're going to missed you", Frederica said, in a dramatically tone.
"Me too", Tomoyo agreed. They went to their classrooms which they only saw Eriol, Hamilton and Ian.
"Hey! What's up?" Hamilton greeted the three ladies, waving his hand.
"Nothing much. Tomoyo here is studying for our test", Frederica answered. Then she looked at Tomoyo with an evil grin saying you-know-there's-your- admirer-Eriol-so-greet-him. Tomoyo blushed and looked away. But Eriol on the other hand was gazing at her and she didn't notice.
"Tomoyo you sure an intelligent person. Not only intelligent but pretty as well!" Ian said.
"Thanks Ian but that's a compliment right?" Tomoyo said, her words stammering. And her cheeks were red.
"No my dear it's not a compliment. I mean who wouldn't like you? A pretty Japanese girl from Japan, intelligent and kind", Ian replied. Then he hit Eriol's elbow. "Am I right Eriol?"
"H-Huh?" Eriol's stammered.
"Thanks Ian", was all Tomoyo could say as the three went to their seats.
"Why did you have to include me?" Eriol whispered.
"Coz' I caught you starring at her", Ian replied.
"Correction gazing you mean", Eriol told him.
"Whatever!" Ian said flatly, waving a hand. "Beautiful isn't she?" Eriol paused for a moment then replied.
"Yeah she is", he told them honestly. His friends start to teased.
~*~*~*~*~
"Tomoyo your admirer is there. How come you didn't say 'Hi!'?" Giovanna teased while Tomoyo was blushing, reviewing her notes.
"Stop it guys! It's only admiration not a crush or love get it?" Tomoyo fought back.
"So you're not jealous even they have a relationship with Mizuki-sensei?" Frederica asked.
"No. Admiration is admiration that's it!" Tomoyo answered. She roll her eyes on why her friends should think about this towards her.
~*~*~*~*~
"Bye Tomoyo! See you tomorrow!" Frederica said.
"And Tomoyo...congratulations on our test you got a high grade!" Giovanna congratulated.
"Thanks! Bye! See you tomorrow you two!" Tomoyo said. Then her friends had left. Tomoyo put her notebook inside the locker then closed it. She was about to go when somebody called her.
"Tomoyo hi!" Eriol greeted her. Her heart skipped a beat. She can't believe this! Eriol's talking to her!
"Oh...hi Eriol!" Tomoyo greeted back, but her face was flushing.
"Um...may I invite you to join with me for lunch tomorrow?" Eriol asked.
"Lunch? Tomorrow?" she still couldn't believe this. She and Eriol will have lunch together? She wanted to faint.
"Why are you busy tomorrow?" he asked, his face was sad. And it's unbelievable he will be turned down.
"No! I'll be glad to!" Tomoyo replied. She want to ask if how about Mizuki- sensei? But she doesn't, it will just be ruined and maybe he will even change his mind.
"Good! I'll pick you up then!" Eriol kissed her cheek then left, leaving Tomoyo stunned.
~*~*~*~*~
"What? But your using her already master!" Nakuru, Eriol's servant said, almost yelled at him. Eriol told Nakuru about the plan of Ian and Hamilton. Nakuru never saw Tomoyo before that's because Eriol and her are not even close.
"I know! But it's like a deal!" Eriol said.
"Much more like a man to man talk!" Nakuru suggest, rolling her red eyes. "But actually master Hamilton and Ian have a point. It's weird a teacher and a second year college have a relationship", she added.
"Age doesn't matter!" her master shot back.
"Besides love is sweet second time around as what people say. I agree on Hamilton and Ian's plan although you're hurting her feelings!" Nakuru said, sadly. "And for me age does matter...in your situation!" she added. Eriol just rolled his eyes. Then the phone rang. "I'll get it!" Nakuru said. "Hello good evening?"
"Hi Nakuru! Is Eriol there?" it was Kaho on the other line.
"Yeah! Wait for a second", Nakuru told her. "Master your girlfriend on the other line".
"Thanks Nakuru", said Eriol. Then he picked up the phone. "Hi Kaho! How are you doing?"
"I'm fine my dear Eriol!" Kaho said.
"Um...Kaho I need to tell you something", Eriol said in that serious tone of his.
"Okay", Kaho told him. Then he explained everything. Everything...on what Hamilton and Ian said. Everything...that he and Kaho are not meant to be. "That really hurts dear especially we are not meant to be", Kaho told him her reactions.
"I know", Eriol agreed.
"But you're hurting her", she added.
"And I've got nothing to do with it!" he finished. "A deal is a deal...really", Eriol added. "Talked to you tomorrow Kaho. Bye", he said.
"Bye", Kaho said. Then they put down the phone. But actually Eriol didn't have a good sleep. It was 10p.m.and he's still awake. Actually he hit the sheets on 9p.m. And now because of that stupid deal he couldn't sleep. And before he went to bed Kaho called back again that she agree on the plan but not to go far or else...Tomoyo would never forgive him. And speaking of Tomoyo when he kissed her cheeks it was soft. Soft as a pillow or maybe soft as a feather.
'I wonder if I kiss her lips would it be soft?' Eriol thought. He never kisses Kaho before on the lips. Afraid that some people will see them. 'But she's beautiful...Tomoyo is beautiful'. He smiled to himself then closed his eyes.
~*~*~*~*~
It was lunch as Eriol approached Tomoyo's seat. "Shall we go?" Eriol asked with a smile. Which she couldn't stop from blushing.
"Sure let's go!" Tomoyo answered him and went to the canteen. Canteen is like a crowded place...really. Many people eating and chatting. People from some departments...elementary, high school and college. But not all students eat in the canteen. Nope! Some would stay inside their classrooms or find a place to eat their lunch. Tomoyo and Eriol had found a table for them. They sat across each other eating their food. Until Tomoyo open up a conversation. "Won't Mizuki-sensei be angry if she saw you here with me?"
"Your really using the words of Japan", Eriol said, ignoring her question.
"Yes. And somehow I taught Frederica and Giovanna some words. Even your name and Mizuki-sensei is like Japanese", Tomoyo told him.
"I'm half Japanese and Kaho is Japanese", he said to her.
"Oh...where are your parents?" Tomoyo asked. As if asking an actor.
"America because of business. They always sent me money...every week", Eriol answered, drinking his juice.
"Boy you're rich!" Tomoyo said in awe.
"And you...how come you are sent by your parents?"
"Mother only", she corrected.
"Sorry", he apologized.
"It's okay. Mother wants me to have a taste of life in other places that's why she sent me here", Tomoyo explained her eyes on her plate.
"I see", was all Eriol could say. And he reached over for her hand. Tomoyo looked up to him, confusion was in her eyes. "Don't worry...I'm here for you", he assured. Tomoyo smiled to him that made him paused. Her smile was so sweet like an angel. He kept it to his memory.
~*~*~*~*~
"Really? He holds your hand? Oh my god like that is so SWEET!!!" Frederica exclaimed hugging Tomoyo.
"Hey calm down Frederica!" Tomoyo said with a slight laugh.
"I wonder if Eriol likes you too", Giovanna said, tilting her head. Tomoyo paused. Then said.
"Are you crazy? He likes teacher Kaho for pete's sake!"
"And? He can like someone else!" Frederica said.
