Introduction

What if you like someone? What if they only like you as a friend? What if they tell you about the other girls that they like? You force yourself to look happy while your heart shatters, but nothing is gained from it. What if they never realize your pain?

Chapter 1: Love

"Eriol-kun!" shouted Tomoyo running towards the dark-blue haired boy.

"Hello Tomoyo. How are you today?" responded Eriol. "Hey, do you think I could have your opinion on something? Great! There is this girl that I like, but I'm not sure how to ask her out, you see, unlike all the other girls that I've dated she is very reserved and I don't think just walking up and asking her on a date would be very smart... Do you have any ideas?"

Tomoyo felt her heart breaking into pieces... She liked Eriol very much, but he only thought of her as a friend and never anything more... He was always telling her of his latest girlfriend and where he planned to take her and what he wanted to do for her... None of the girls he dated lasted more than six months, Eriol would treat them like royalty and then later they would get bored of him and dump him... Tomoyo quickly put a fake smile on her face and responded, "This girl that your talking about is Sarrin, right? Give me some time to think... How about you call me around six o'clock tonight and I'll tell you what I've thought of, okay?"

"Sure, thanks a trillion Tomoyo," Eriol said and then walked away towards his mansion. Most of the girls that dated Eriol only dated him because they wanted what he could get for them since he was rich... Tomoyo wanted to date him because she liked him, not his wealth, and as she watched him walk away she started to cry. Silent, hot tears streamed down her face as she walked towards her house. Once she got there she threw her back-pack and purse on the floor and ran upstairs into her own private bathroom that was connected to her room and started to quickly undress. She then turned on the hot water and filled the tub close to the top and then got in. Now she let herself truly cry, not caring how loud she was since her mother was still at work, and her bodyguards and all the servants had the day off. "Stupid Sarrin! Why do you have to be so cute as for Eriol-kun to like you!" Tomoyo screamed. She knew that it was no fault of Sarrin's that Eriol liked her, but she couldn't stop feeling anger towards Sarrin, especially now that she had to help Eriol-kun find a good way to ask her out.

About thirty minutes later Tomoyo got out of the tub and redressed herself. She then got out the hair-dryer and dried her hair and started to think of what she was going to tell Eriol. "Maybe he could write her a note and put it in her locker. Or maybe he could give her his phone number and ask her to call him. Perhaps I should tell him just to give up on her... but he really likes her and that would break his heart."

An hour and a half later Tomoyo's phone rang. "Moshi moshi," Tomoyo said into the phone.

"Hi, it's Eriol here," Eriol said from the other end. "So, do you have any good ideas yet?"

"Well, I've been thinking about it ever since I got home today. You could give her your phone number and ask her to call you. If she hates you she won't call, but if there is a chance between you she will call and then you can ask her. Or, you could just leave a note in her locker, but I doubt that directly asking her would work," Tomoyo responded. She felt her heart pounding in her chest. She wanted Eriol to notice her, not Sarrin and yet here she was trying to get Sarrin and Eriol hooked up together.

"Wow Tomoyo, thanks a ton! I'll think about which of those I'll use, and thanks again. Ja ne."

"J-," Tomoyo's so long was cut off as Eriol hung up the phone. Tomoyo sighed, he didn't even stay on the phone long enough for her to say ja ne. Did he only think of her as his love consultant now? Tomoyo felt tears coming to her eyes. Soon she was silently crying again and the hot tears rolled down her face and fell onto her shirt... fell, like the rain outside.

Downstairs a door opened and a voice called out, "Tomoyo, I'm home! Supper will be ready shortly."

Tomoyo flung herself onto her bed and cried into her pillow, not bothering to answer her mother's greeting.
