The next day, Tomoyo and Sakura were having their P.E class with the class of Eriol. Everybody adored Tomoyo when she wears her P.E suit. She wears a thick-cottoned, navy blue with the logo of Tomoeda High on the left part of the shorts and short shorts that can see her beautiful, clear, soft, white, long legs that makes the boys go crazy and wanting to touch it. She also wears her small sized, loose, white shirt which can shape her body almost perfectly and can see her belly-button everytime she stretches her arms upwards. She matches the whole uniform with her hair tied up that makes her wavy hair flows nicely at her back. She wears an ankle socks with a navy blue and white Sketchers, walking type of shoes, a bit flat on the heels, no shoe tie.
They were in the Girl's locker and were preparing for their P.E period. Tomoyo wears her expensive shoes angrily which made Sakura wondered.
"You're angry again?" she asked.
"Isn't it so obvious? I hate P.E time!" the glamorous gal slammed her locker and sat beside her simple yet cute bestfriend.
"Because of…?" Sakura placed her school shoes inside her locker and fixed her hair. She waited for Tomoyo's respond.
"Um, duh?" Tomoyo said.
"Eriol," the honey-haired girl closed her locker gently.
"Yes, exactly! Whoever made our schedule is a MORON!" she stood up and walked out with Sakura.
"Mrs. Chey? How the heck would she know that you hate Eriol?" The two got to the covered court and were walking towards the girls group.
"Good point. Maybe I should tell her," Tomoyo said.
"Tomoyo, stop it about Eriol, okay? Just think it as, he-punched-me-when-I-was-a-little-kid-and-now-I-hate-him," advised Sakura.
The whistle blew and it was time to play Basketball. The boy's were already warming up while the girls were still waiting for the co-players who are still in the locker fixing them selves.
Tomoyo saw Eriol and she crossed her arms and placed her right leg a bit farther to the right. Annoyed, she said, "Ha, here is the king,"
Almost all of the girls were watching Eriol warming up which caused their body to even become warmer. The 'King' doesn't have those big muscles but, during warming up time, his little, cute muscles show up and the girls faint for it. Whispers and soft shouts were being produced from the 'fans' of the hot, popular guy whom Tomoyo hates so much.
"Oh god," she rolled her eyes and went to the coach.
"When will practice start?" she asked.
"As soon all you girls are in the covered court," the coach said.
"Can we practice now coz' the girls are already getting SWEATY by just staring and watching the 'KING' of Tomoeda High doing warm-ups!" she pointed at the girls who fan their selves who were already getting sweaty by just looking at Eriol.
"I swear, when practice starts? They're already tired!" she added.
"Why?" asked the coach.
"Um, they're sweating? When you sweat, it makes you want to sit down and cool yourself! So, when the practice starts, they won't play! They'll just sit down the bench and cool themselves! Or even worse, stare at him even more!" she said angrily.
"Okay, okay," the coach blew his whistle to get the attention of the girls. The girls moaned and sighed because it was time for practice.
Tomoyo was in position. She was ready. She glanced at Eriol who was running to the opponent's side, jump and shoot 3 pts but, when he landed, he slipped and fell on his back. She laughed but softly. The boys also laughed and helped him to stand up.
"You okay?" Syaoran grabbed his hand.
"Yah, thanks," he said.
"BUSTED," said Tomoyo. She looked back at her game. The coach blew the whistle and they started playing.
Of course, the smart, beautiful girl was also an athlete. She plays all the tiring games: Basketball, Soccer and Volleyball. They won First place on Female Basketball Challenge, First place in Regional Cup in Soccer and Second place on Volleyball Challenge both Female and Male.
"Yes!" Tomoyo just shot 3 pts. The girls screamed and wailed.
"Tomoyo! Look out!" Sakura shouted. When the champion looked at the back, she was hit on her forehead by a basketball.
As she opens her eyes, she was blinded by the bright of the light.
"A-Am I in an emergency room?" she asked.
"No you're not," a familiar voice came out of sight.
Tomoyo was surprised. Her eyes were widely open when she heard that voice.
"Oh god, don't tell me it's him," when she looked at her side, Eriol was there looking at her. She blushed and looked straight. She was like frozen in a freezer for one month.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes, you can leave now," she said.
"I won't leave you until you feel better," he said. She tried to hide the blush.
"It's okay, I feel a lot better now. You can leave," she said.
"Nah. I want to go back with you to the covered court," he said. Tomoyo blushed even more.
"Why?" she asked straight.
"Because I was the one who hit you and I feel guilty about it," he said.
"Oh, don't feel guilty. It's okay. I forgive you. You can leave now," she said quickly.
"Don't you ever stop saying that word 'leave'?" he chuckled.
"No," she said nervously.
"Then, why are you so serious?" he asked.
"Is it your problem?" she said coldly.
"Just asking,"
"Then don't,"
There was silence. Tomoyo was wishing so hard that he'll leave but, he wasn't.
"Do you hate me?" Eriol began to hold her hand. She blushed vividly. She didn't respond.
"Do you hate me because of what happened four days ago?" he asked. Just at that moment, she wanted to slap Eriol on the face but, he was holding her hand and still, she didn't respond.
"Tomoyo," before Eriol could say anything, she stood up.
"Well, you know what, I'm feeling SO much better and we need to go back to the Covered Court or coach will lecture us," she sounded happy but was really nervous.
"Why…why will he lecture us when we have a good reason why we stayed long here in the clinic?" he asked her with wonder.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because you got hit on a basketball and you fell unconscious and you have a big wound on you forehead," he said. Silence fell.
"Good point," she thought. "Well, um, I need some more practice so, if you're staying here much longer, feel free to coz' I'm going," she said. She rushed out the door and hurried back to the covered court.
"Idiot! Why did I say that? Grr, he even makes me more angry right now!" as she was hurrying back, someone held her hand and stopped her. She looked back and saw him.
"Don't be such in a hurry. We've got a lot of time in the world," he said smiling.
She blushed again. Suddenly, she felt that something was coming out. She just can't take it anymore when he smiles so gently. And so, she spit it out.
"Would you please stop making a girl fall for you?" she slapped it on his face.
"What?" he asked.
"What 'what?'? You keep things for yourself that's why you're so mysterious! You're always so kind to the girls! You always smile at them when you see them looking at you!" she shouted.
"Why are you so angry if I'm really like that kind of person?" he sounded a bit angry. Tomoyo was surprised. "Why are you so angry at me?" he added. As he asked these questions, he moves forward to her. "And most of all," BANG, he placed his two hands at the wall caging her in between them, she was face to faced with him, " Why do you hate me?" silence fell between the two of them. She looked down.
"Maybe because, you're so…so…romantic," she said softly. Her words hit him. He blushed lightly. "Maybe you're so romantic and I'm so jealous on the other girls, especially your…girl friend," Eriol was shocked.
"H-how did you know about Meilin?" he asked.
"Everyone talks about you two. She's…the girl of your dreams isn't it?" Tomoyo wanted to cry but she's forcing not to let her emotion come out. "It's great isn't it? An English and a Chinese?" she said.
"I'm not an English man, Daidouji. I'm Japanese. I was just born in England," he said.
Silence fell again. Tomoyo was still looking down to her left and Eriol was looking at her. He can see her emotions even though she doesn't show it. He looks straight to the wall and he slowly began to move his arms back.
"I'm sorry. I should've hadn't yelled at you," he apologized.
"It's fine. I deserve it. But hey, I should understand your feelings. I mean, if you don't like me, I should accept it. It's your feelings not mine," she wore a sad smile to him.
"Yeah. You should," he also smiled back at her.
"So, let's get going! Last to come to the covered court is a loser," she started running fast and left Eriol behind. She ran, and ran, and ran like there was no way to stop. Her emotion is coming out. The weakness of all human beings is bursting out in her eyes. Dark began to interact with her. She found a corridor where she can hide. She went right and rested. She closed her eyes and was trying to catch her breath. When she opened them, she sat down hopelessly and cried.
"I hate you so much," she said. Her heart was like bleeding. It was like dropping and was detaching from it's veins.
"I hate you, hate you," bunches of tears were falling. Suddenly, two soft, warm hands were touching her shoulders then, they slid to her back. She felt chest on her arms and strands hair brushes through her cheeks.
"I'm sorry Daidouji," said a familiar voice.
"Eriol,"
"Sshh…" Eriol faced her. He brushed his thumb on her chin. They were so near to each other that she can feel his hot breathe on her lips.
"I'll be your light. Don't just go away like that Tomoyo. You'll be lost," his lips were going nearer to hers. They both closed their eyes. She felt his lips brushing against hers. He whispered,
"Don't ever leave me,"
He kissed her. A long, deep, passionate kiss. Tomoyo was electrocuted and can feel her spine shivered as he slides his hands to her neck. Bells were ringing everywhere but then, a voice was heard. She didn't mind it. The voice gets louder and louder. She was trying to avoid the voice but, it just gets louder and louder that made her head ache. She began to stop and darkness fell. Everything was lost. Even Eriol disappeared.
