First of all, I do not own CCS. This is my fanfic, but it's not really fictional. Most of it is based on a true story. Characters, included. So, if you know me, please don't review and ask which character is who. Thank you!

P.S. There are two authors to this story, myself and a friend.

Square One.
Chapter one.


Tomoeda Junior High

Tomoyo's POV:

Right now, it's lunchtime, and I'm sitting at the eighth grade lunch tables with Sakura, Chiharu, and Meilin. I wasn't really listening, but I was pondering the moment of how Sakura and I became friends. I looked at her for a second and saw her smiling and laughing.

I snap back to reality when I hear a loud laughter erupt. I turned my gaze to where it was coming from, which was from Meilin and Chiharu. I saw Sakura's face filled with anger and embarrassment.

I asked, "What's so funny?"

Chiharu had her hands by the side of her ears, demonstrating how someone's hair was like. She answered, "Sakura likes Eriol, and his hair looks like a mushroom!" I could tell by the sound of her voice that she was holding in laughter.

"Eriol? Is that the guy who used to like you?" I asked in curiosity.

Meilin jumped into the conversation, "YEAH! They always used to instant message each other everyday during the summer!"

"What happened?" I questioned.

Sakura replied, "Well, yeah, we used to talk every day and everything. One day, I told Eriol I had a secret, and just like every other guy, he started getting curious. Somehow, I got to the point where I was ready to tell him that I liked him, so I told him. He didn't really answer me, though. He just said, 'Oh, okay.' A few days later, I had to go to China while he had to go to Tokyo. Even when we both came back, we stopped talking to each other."

Sakura paused, she was probably thinking about what happened after that. After a few seconds, she started again.

"This went on for about two weeks, and I felt horrible. So, I was talking to Nakuru and told her about my situation. She made me feel a little bit better about it. The day after, I was talking to one of his good friends, and she asked me, 'Do you still like Eriol?" I told her that I didn't anymore. She just said, 'Oh, because I was about to tell you something, but nevermind.' I didn't bother asking about that anymore. I never found out what she wanted to tell me even until today.."

"Ohh.." we all said in unison.

The lunch bell rang, and today after school, I was going to Sakura's house.

Sakura's house

We walked to Sakura's house, as usual, and went straight to the computer room. In there, there were about eleven computers total in that room. I was using one of the computers while Sakura was on her laptop. Once it started up, I logged on Sakura's screen name. As I was reading, however, I noticed some I didn't recognize.

"Hey, who's baboooonh8ter?"

Sakura glanced for a second and said simply, "Eriol."

'Hohohohohohohoho' I said in my head. 'Time for a little matchmaking,' I thought, smiling..

I double-clicked his screen name and the little, familiar box popped up.

Cherryblossom21(4:32:09P.M): hi
Baboooonh8ter(4:32:31PM): hey

"What are you doing?"

I moved so that most of the computer screen was hidden, "NOTHING!"

"Who are you talking with?" she asked innocently.

"Nooo one!" I said, defending the computer.

But Sakura was too fast for me. She somehow was able to see the screen name of who I was talking to.

"Whatever, go ahead and talk to him. I don't really care" she shrugged.

"Okay then!" I told her, and saw her roll her eyes.

I focused my attention on the screen.

Cherryblossom21(4:32:09PM):hi
Baboooonh8ter(4:32:31PM): hey
Cherryblossom21(4:37:18PM): do you know who this is?
Baboooonh8ter(4.38:12PM): umm, Sakura?
Cherryblossom21(4:38:14PM): NOPE
Baboooonh8ter(4:38:20:PM): who is this?
Cherryblossom21(4:38:24PM): I bet you don't know who I am, but I'm Tomoyo
Baboooonh8ter(4:38:26PM): Ok
Cherryblossom21(4:38:34PM): So, you used to like Sakura?
Baboooonh8ter(4:38:36PM): gotta go brb
Baboooonh8ter has signed off.

"Awww man! He signed off already!"

Sakura started laughing at me while saying, "Oh well!"

I decided that it was time for me to head home. I said goodbye to Sakura and started walking.

Walking home

I was slowly dying trying to figure out what happened between Eriol and Sakura! Arghhh, and I want to know how Eriol looks like in his "mushroom" hair.

I burst into laughter.

I could just imagine, dark hair, and straight all around hair that only goes up to the top of his ears! Like someone put a bowl on his head and shaved around it.

But still…..

I want to know what happened. I want to solve this mystery!

'Tomoyo, you are watching TOO MANY CSI's and Law and Order's,' I said to myself.

Tomorrow, and until I find out what happened, I'm gonna bring my camera.

Home

I walked through the front door and yelled, "I'M HOMEEE!" But there was no answer.

"I guess she's gone," thinking of my mom. She was always stuck at work for something.

I walked into the kitchen and found a note saying:

Dear Tomo,

I won't be home until late at night (about eleven o'clock or so) and I didn't want you to worry about me. So I wrote this note. There are some noodles in the fridge that I made for you or you could have some pop-tarts.

Love,

Mom

I laughed out loud at the last part.

'…..or you could have some pop-tarts"

"Pop-tarts are God's gift to us", I said smiling.

I wasn't feeling hungry, so I just went upstairs to my room.

I walked over to my closet and looked for a pair of pajamas to wear around the house.

I chose the big black shirt, black and white striped boxers, and my gray and cream striped cut-off socks.

I walked to my bed and fell onto it……and dozed off to a deep sleep.

Sleeps

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

I woke up in a daze, and sat up, confused. 'How long did I sleep for?'

I looked at the time and it read, 7:45 AM. "SHIT!" I said outloud. How could I sleep for that long?

"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT IM GONNA BE LATEEE!" I said, looking for a pair of jeans.

"OH SHIT!" I said, I didn't even do my homework! "DOUBLE SHIT!"

I threw on a pair of my faded black jeans and a vintage silk button-up blouse and tied a belt around the middle of my stomach. I still looked a bit bare. I ran over to my table and got a long necklace with a gold leaf at the end and put it on.

"DAMNIT! IM GONNA MISS CLASS, AND HAVE NO HOMEWORK! DAMNIT!"

"TOMOYO! I will NOT have that kind of language in this house!"

"SHIT!" I said, she heard me? "I MEAN, CRAP!" I said.

I ran out of the house on the sidewalk and nearly ran over someone.
