'My friend, my housemate, my lover'

Chapter 3

Tomoyo is a strong girl, she grew up without the support of her father while her mother was always busy with the company and she didn't have any siblings or other family members that she could rely on. However there are times when she is at her weakest, there are times when she is very fragile and easily break. Last night was one of those times; she was the happiest when Sakura and Syaoran became a couple because the both of them are the few of people that means a lot to her. She was happy when the people she loves were happy but she also became sad when they are.

Tomoyo understands what Sakura said about how her feelings changes with time and she understood that it must be hard for Sakura to be in a long distance relationship with Syaoran. But still she was sad and tears just falls without warning. At times like this she was glad that she was not alone, Syaoran was there beside her to wipe her tears, he was there to cheer her up and he was there to support her when she needed one the most.

At the lecture hall,

This morning she has an hour lecture with Mr. Richard on Business studies and then another class after lunch. She can't wait to go home because her furniture that she bought yesterday with Syaoran will arrive later in the evening.

"Ohayo…" Tomoyo greeted as she entered the lecture hall.

"Ohayo…" answered a few.

Tomoyo walk down the stairs and decided to take a sit on the middle seat 5th row from the bottom. 'Not so far and not so near the front, just nice.' She thought.

"Hello, I'm Susan nice to meet you." said a girl's voice suddenly from behind her.

Tomoyo turns around and met with a red hair girl wearing a red blouse who was smiling brightly.

"Oh hello, I'm Tomoyo…" she replied while shaking the girl's hand.

"Daidouji… I know…" the girl cut through.

"Huh? I don't remember introducing myself."

"No you didn't but most of the people here know you." Susan smiled.

"Huh? How did they know me?" she said puzzled.

"You're a legend." Susan replied excitedly.

"Legend? What lege…" She paused and remembered what Ray told her at lunch yesterday. "Oh you mean my lunch with Syaoran."

"Oh my you're even calling him by his first name. Oh wow!" Susan squealed.

"What is so special about it? We're friends."

"Come on don't you know? He is one of the good-looking guys in this whole University. Over half of the girls here have a crush on him." She explained.

"Not only does he's good looking, he's very smart and athletic." A girl with glasses who sat behind Tomoyo suddenly butts in.

"Oh sorry I'm Dyane, nice to meet you." The girl introduces herself.

"Same here…" Tomoyo said while shaking her hand.

"Back to what I was saying, I heard that Li-kun got the CGPA of 4.0 and his team won the futsal tournament the University held last year. Dyane continued.

"Anyways what we're trying to say is that you're lucky to have a boyfriend like him." Susan said.

"Hey wait a minute. Syaoran and I are not a couple." Tomoyo tried to explain.

"Ara? Then how did you and Li-kun become so close?" Susan asked.

"Syaoran and I are friends since primary school. When we were little Syaoran and I went to the same school at Tomoeda." Tomoyo explained.

"Oh wow you guys are childhood friends?" Dyane said getting more excited.

"That's even better! You must know a lot about him." Now the girls squealed.

"Ok that's it I give up." Tomoyo said finally gave up on explaining and sat down.

Syaoran POV

Afternoon

'Who in hell made the schedule for this semester?' I cursed after my final class for the day. From 9 o'clock in the morning till 1 in the afternoon, from one class to another.

"Man I'm tired and I'm hungry." I said out loud.

"I swear from one programming language to another is bad for my health." Ray said walking next to me.

"They should have put Object Oriented subject after lunch. We are totally free on the afternoon." Ted said following behind.

Ted is another of my friends but since he's from Information Technology department I only see him when we have the same lectures. He's nice and very responsible. Usually Ted is always with his twin, Terry who is also in the same department but he's not here today. Unlike Ted, Terry's a little rough but still a good friend.

"Where's Terry? I didn't see him in class today." I asked Ted.

"Terry? Oh he has a stomachache. He is probably at the dorm taking a rest." He explained.

"Wow, what did he eat? I was playing futsal with him yesterday and he was fine." Ray asked.

"You know him. He ate a lot of meat afterwards. He never listens to me." Ted answered.

"Tell him to take care. Come on let's go to the cafeteria. I'm starving." I said.

"Lead the way man." Ray said following my lead.

The three of us entered the cafeteria looking forward for our meals but the place is packed with people.

"Can we find a place to sit here?" Ted asked.

"I don't see any empty table here." Ray added.

As I was scanning the place for an empty table suddenly I saw Tomoyo waving at me and calling my name. "Syaoran!!"

As I came near her table I saw she was with 2 girls. "Hello Tomoyo."

"Hey would you like to join us? Invite Ray and your friend."

"Sure. Thanks a lot Tomoyo. You're a life saver." I smiled. "Hey guys over here." I called for Ray and Ted.

"Hey Tomoyo-chan, you're as lovely as ever." Ted said while taking a seat beside me.

"Hello Ray, have a seat. Who's your friend?" Tomoyo replied.

"Tomoyo-chan this is our friend Ted." Ray introduced him.

"Hello Ted." Tomoyo said.

"Hello Tomoyo-chan. So this is the famous Tomoyo Daidouji that everyone was talking about." Ted said as he shakes hand with Tomoyo.

"Yes, I'm the legendary Tomoyo who had lunch with Syaoran yesterday." Tomoyo replied playfully.

"So who are your friends Tomoyo?" I asked.

"Let me introduce them, this one here is Susan and the one with the spectacles is Dyane." She introduced them.

"Hello girls…. I'm Li…"

"Li Syaoran, yes we know…" the both of them said together.

"Somehow they think of you as an idol Syaoran." Tomoyo explained.

"Idol?" I asked puzzled.

Suddenly Ray and Ted started laughing.

"What? The two of you know something that I don't about this do you." I turned to them.

"Yeah I know something or two." Ted said. "I'll show you." Ted turn towards the girls asked Susan and Dyane. "Hey do any of you have the 'Li card' with you?"

"I have it. I made a book mark out of it." Dyane answered as she took out a bookmark from her bag and gave it to Ted.

"Thanks here it is. Take a look Mr. Idol." Ted gave me the bookmark and I was surprise to see a digitally altered picture of myself posing like James Bond.

"What the hell! Where did you get this?"

"What is it Syaoran? Let me see that." Tomoyo asked and took the card from my hand.

"Well you know I live at the dorm right. I saw some 3rd year girls selling cards and photos of good looking guys in this university." Ted explained to Tomoyo and me.

"And not only that I heard that your picture was a hot item. They even made a big poster from it." Ray added.

"What!?" I said standing up.

"Hey Ted, do you think they still sell Syaoran's poster at the dorm?" Tomoyo suddenly asked.

"I don't know… Why do you asked?" Ted answered.

"I think I would like to buy one." She answered shyly.

"Tomoyo not you too..." I sweat dropped.

"Aww come on I don't have a picture of an adult version of you." She pouted.

Now everyone was laughing.

That evening the furniture that Tomoyo and I bought arrived. We rearrange the furniture in Tomoyo's room and ate dinner. Tomoyo made some pudding for deserts.

After dinner I started doing some programming work while Tomoyo had her shower.

For some unknown reason it is easy to do programming while hearing music. (Believe me it does…) I turn on the radio and Linkin' Park's song was on the air. (I love this rock band.)

"What cha' doing?" Tomoyo asked suddenly from behind me.

"I'm doing some programming that I learnt today." I answered still working on my notebook.

"Oh? What programming language are you using?" She asked again as she came nearer.

"I'm using Java. Hmm… Do you know programming?" I asked back as I turn around to see Tomoyo looking very sexy after her shower.

"Nah just a little I had to do a little research while I was in college." She answered as she dry her beautiful hair.

"Did you know that I could see your body figure through your nightgown under the light?" I asked trying to maintain a calm face.

"What?! Stop staring at me." She said feeling embarrassed.

I smiled and turn back to my work. "Have a seat Tomoyo. So how was your second day at Tokyo U?"

Tomoyo sat across me thinking for a moment then she answered. "The class was tiring but I made new friends, Ted promise to get me a poster of you and I got to eat your delicious cooking. My second day here is great!"

"Come on do you really need a poster of me?" I asked again worryingly.

"Hohoho… I told you didn't I? I wanted it for my collection."

'There she goes again with her scary laugh.'

"Please spare me." With that the both of us laugh.

"So do you have class tomorrow Tomoyo?" I asked looking at her.

"Yeah I have one class early in the morning."

"Mine doesn't start till 12 in the afternoon. But I can drive you to class if you want me to."

"That's ok Syaoran. I promise Susan that we will go together by bus tomorrow."

"Are you sure?" I asked feeling a little bit worried.

"Yes, definitely I want to learn the roads around here." Tomoyo answered confidently.

"Ok but if there's anything wrong call me." I reminded her.

"I will…. I'm going to bed now." She said as she got up from her seat.

"Ok, good night Tomoyo…" I said as I return to my work.

Suddenly Tomoyo came tiptoed next to me and kiss my right cheek. "Oyasumi…"

I blushed madly as that was the first time that someone other than family member ever kisses me good night.

'If this goes on I might fall for her…' ;-)
