Chapter 2 – It's you again!

Again, while stood in line to get some decent-looking food at the cafeteria, he found himself thinking about her. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Sure, the girl was attractive, but he wasn't the kind of guy to fall at first sight. And definitely not because of looks. Still, he knew it had something to do with the fact that she was the only girl he knew that was up to the task of a career such as his. Not because he was discriminating women, but it was a fact that mostly men studied that. Girls seemed to get more into designing stuff than building it.

It also wasn't as if there were absolutely no other girls besides that one…but there were few and some of them he heard were not into guys, if you know what I mean. He had never understood that. What was it with computers that made their functioning so unappealing to girls?

Before he knew it, he got to the counter and ordered a chicken burger with fries. American food… it mostly made him miss China, because he knew food was a lot better there. And he was never too fond of Japanese food.

"Syaoran! Hey, Syaoran!" he suddenly heard someone calling him and, after taking the tray with his food on it, he turned around to see Tomoyo Daidouji, his recently encountered childhood friend, waving at him from a table on the other side of the cafeteria. He figured he might as well join her for lunch.

"Nice to see you again, Daidouji" he said as he sat across the table, right in front of Tomoyo. He placed his tray down next to hers, which had a plate of salad and a fruit juice on it.

"What's new with you? I haven't seen you around since Monday" said Tomoyo, taking a sip from her juice. Syaoran took a bite from his burger before answering.

"Nothing special, stuff to do here and there, you know. Catching up with mid-term projects"

"Oh I know what you mean! We have this big fashion event at the end of next month and I just can't seem to work as fast as I would like to!" she replied enthusiastically. Suddenly, and before Syaoran could add anything else, a stranger approached their table.

"Excuse me guys, are you using these?" the boy asked, pointing at the two spare chairs that were on each side of the square table they were sitting at. Syaoran was about to tell him he could take them, but Tomoyo beat him to it.

"Yeah, sorry, we're expecting company"

"Oh ok, thanks anyways" he replied, leaving. Syaoran stared at Tomoyo questioningly.

"We are?"

"Yes, I'm sorry I haven't told you, but I was actually gonna meet with two of my friends today"

"Oh, I see. Hey if you need space, I can eat some place else"

"None sense! There's just two of them coming and besides, I would love it if you met them. In fact, I'm quite sure you know Eriol Hiragizawa, he studies the same as you"

"Oh, Hiragizawa's coming? That's great, I haven't seen him today and there's something I really need to ask him about the technology management project that's due next Friday" Syaoran said, taking another bite from his burger. Tomoyo giggled.

"Syaoran, listen to yourself! You're sound like a business man"

"Come on, it's no big deal, I've always been responsible"

"I suppose it's a most for the heir of the Li clan"

"You don't say" Syaoran replied with a smirk.

"But besides that, I was meaning to ask you… how come you never call friends by their first name?" Tomoyo asked, putting a slice of tomato into her mouth. Syaoran raised an eyebrow.

"That's a weird question"

"It's not! I've always called you Syaoran, you said I could do so. Why don't you call me Tomoyo?"

"Well, I've never been that comfortable with a woman in my life, I guess. It's just polite behavior"

"And why don't you call Eriol by his name if he's not a girl?"

"Oh, that! That's because it annoys him" he replied with a small chuckle, taking a sip from his soda.

"Oh come on Li, I thought it was just the way you were" they heard a voice behind them. They turned to see Eriol approaching the table, holding a can of soda and a small box of noodle soup. He sat down on one of the empty chairs and placed his stuff on the table.

"Well I guess I just blew my cover" said Syaoran, still smirking. Eriol grunted, with a playful look on his face.

"Well it does annoy me! So just stop doing it"

"Whatever, Hiragizawa"

"Hey guys" Tomoyo interrupted "I'll be right back, ok? I want to check on my friend, I don't know what's taking her so long" she said, standing up and leaving the cafeteria to get a better signal on her cell phone. Eriol then turned to Syaoran with a slight grin.

"So I see you guys met"

"Uh?" Syaoran was confused at his statement.

"Yeah, I mean you and Tomoyo. What do you think of her?"

"What do I think of her? Daidouji? I don't know, she's nice… why?"

"She's the girl I was talking about the other day! You know, the pretty one, absolutely breath-taking where my exact words if I remember correctly" he reminded him, seeming a little anxious. Syaoran's eyes widened.

"It's her? Daidouji?"

"In how many languages do I have to repeat myself, Li? Yes, it IS her, Tomoyo Daidouji" Eriol replied, slightly annoyed and a lot more anxious to know what Syaoran thought about the girl.

"But I thought it was that other girl I saw you with last week…"

"Oh no, that was a girl in my Math class, she's just a friend of mine"

"I see…" Syaoran didn't know why, but he felt a great amount of relief at this statement.

"So? What do you think of Tomoyo?"

"Well I guess she's quite nice…she's also very pretty, so I think you made a nice choice"

"You don't like her, do you?"

"No, not like that. Sleep peacefully, my friend" Syaoran said, teasingly. Eriol sighed

"I'm sorry…It's just…she's so perfect, I don't want to lose her, and I definitely don't want someone to beat me to her"

"Then ask her out already, man!"

"I'm working on it"

"Back!" they heard Tomoyo say, as she walked back to the table, dragging a girl behind her. Syaoran immediately recognized her: It was the girl from the other day, Eriol's friend!

"Hi guys, I'm sorry for being late, I was speaking to my logic teacher" the honey-haired girl said, excusing herself as she sat down between Syaoran and Tomoyo. Syaoran just kept staring at her, wondering what was it in her that made him feel so weird. She had such a cheerful personality… it brightened his mood to see her smile.

"Oh, you're that guy from last week, Eriol's friend, right?" she asked suddenly, pulling him out of his thoughts abruptly. Syaoran nodded.

"Uh…yeah…" was all he managed to say.

"He's my friend too, I met him in elementary school!" Tomoyo said enthusiastically. Eriol looked surprised by this comment.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I studied elementary school at Tomoeda, that's where Daidouji's from" Syaoran explained. Sakura smiled widely.

"Oh, I wonder how come we never met! I was in Tomoeda too, but I attended a different school. In fact, it wasn't until high school that Tomoyo and I met"

"By then I was already back in China" Syaoran added. It was then that she did something that completely took him by surprise: she took his hand in hers. Immediately he felt his face burn, and he was sure he was blushing.

"I'm so glad we finally met then! We should be good friends!" she exclaimed, smiling sweetly at him. Syaoran stared back at her in awe. His heart was beating fastly and a whole river of emotions was flowing through him. He had never felt something like that in his life.

What is wrong with me?
