My secrecy ended even before my involvement began in the second sealing of the Cards.
"Please do not hurt her, Hiiragizawa-san," she pleaded.
How can I be so careless for a mere non-magical human girl find out that I am a powerful sorcerer, a reincarnation of the great Clow Reed? With every Card resealed in the name of Sakura, she knew it was me - I who inflicted every new pain.
But then, she is no ordinary human. She is Daidouji Tomoyo.
…and even thoughts of her torture me so.
i. Friday, coming second
There she is, sitting in front of me, her ebony hair reflecting the Friday sunlight that passes through the classroom's windows. Her name is Daidouji Tomoyo, the angelic nightingale, campus favorite, and heiress to the immense Daidouji fortune.
My focused attention was diverted to something else as the teacher hushed the class for her announcement of this quarter's top students.
I roll my eyes. I didn't need to be an omniscient magician to predict what would happen next.
"Let us all congratulate Daidouji-san for being our rank one student… and Hiiragizawa-san following second."
Everybody claps.
But I do not like it.
I do not like being second.
This is how things were since eight grade.
But now we're in our second year. I guess I'm kind of used to being called in after her.
But it still stings.
