Chapter 7 School Identity
Tomoeda Private High School
Tomoyo POV
I was sitting and staring blankly at the floor when
"Daidouji! Daidouji! Tomoyo Daidouji" call out by someone
"She's here." A male voice said I just look at him
"Hiiragizawa!"
"They are calling you out." he said and point at the office
"Tomoyo Daidouji?"
"Ah that's me."
"Well come inside."
" Yes Ma'am." I said and took my bag and got inside the office. Aah this his fault. My minds a mess because of him. Its because of what happen this morning that I'm like this. Aah how frustrating and that was so embarrassing in so many levels
"Okay. Umm... Daidouji what do you mean something horrible happen whenever its dark?" he ask, then I look at him
"Ah that, someone died because of the darkness."
"Huh?"
"Ah well I just-" I said uncomfortably
"Never mind, your not oblige to tell me. Anyway this may take a while. Seems there is an electrical problem." he said changing topic.
"I guess." I said then suddenly the lights open
"Ah the electricity is back" I said and stand up then the elevator suddenly moves I lost my balance and fell at Hiiragizawa. We were staring at each other he was holding me while I was on top of him then.
"Daidouji?"
"Hiiragizawa" I said while he stare at me then he suddenly lean closer. It's happening. Will he really kiss me? Should I kiss him? I was just staring at him. I just close my eyes as he leans closer. Is this a dream or reality?
"Daidouji?"
"Huh?" I exclaimed and open my eyes he was still staring at me
"Do you mind?"
"Do I mind what?"
"Huh! Honestly? Daidouji your quite heavy!"
"Huh?" I ask disoriented
"GET OFF!"
"Aah right." I said and got up then he did too
"Aah, that hurt my rib. Don't you know your quite heavy. It feels like a big sack of rice fell unto me. Ouch!" he said while he hold his right rib cage
"Sorry! It was an accident. It's not like I intentionally fell unto you, have I? Beside I'm not that heavy. Hmp!" I said, jerk much!
"Whatever!" he said then look at me, I just pout
"Anyway why did you close your eyes?" he ask
"Huh?" I suddenly response
"I didn't" I added, then turn my back at him
"Yes you did." he insisted
"Were you expecting something?" he ask
"Of course not." I said, my cheeks felt hot
"You are. Your blushing." he teased
"I'm not." I said then the elevator door opens
"Are you two alright? Sorry there was problem with the main switch"the electrician stated
"Fine!" I said and hurriedly got out of the elevator
"Thank you." I heard him say to the electrician then follow me.
"Daidouji you were expecting something, aren't you?"
"I said No. I'm not expecting anything."
"Yes you are." he said
"No I'm not."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"What was your dream about?"
"I said it was nothing. Forget about it!" I said
"What was your dream about us? Was it comedy?" he ask
"No! Will you just stop asking."
"Horror?"
"No! Stop it."
"Thriller!"
"No! I said to stop it."
"Romantic?"
"No!" I said blushing even more and averted my eyes on him
"Aha it was Romantic."
"No!"
"Yes it was, your reaction gave you out."
"No it wasn't" I said my cheeks are still red
"Yes it was. It was about us in the elevator, isn't?"
"No!" I said
"Your a bad liar Daidouji!"
"I'm not and I said it No. It wasn't about that."
"Yes it was and You were... You were expecting me to kiss you that's why you close your eyes. Same as your dream."
"No I didn't. You wish."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you close your eyes?"
"I didn't."
"Daidouji!" he said
"I said I DIDN'T" I shouted, I heard some murmur then Hiiragawa laugh.
"Hahahah. Fine, fine. You didn't. No need to shout Daidouji were in the lobby." he said, then I become red as a tomato. I was so embarrass since a lot of people staring and murmuring.
"No need to be shy about it. Beside it was just a dream its not like your expecting it to happen or you did expect?" he ask while looking at me. I just become more red. Aah I can't show my face and ran towards the exit.
"Phew!" I sigh, this is all his fault but at least it didn't happen the same as my dream.
"Miss Daidouji?"
"Huh? Yes Ma'am."
"You may go inside."
"Thank you." I said and went inside the room
"Good morning Ma'am"
"Good Morning Miss Daidouji, You may take a seat." I just nod and smile
"Anyway your requesting for transfer?"
"Yes Ma'am."
"Was it because of the incident occurred last-"
"No Ma'am its not about that."
"I understand if its the reason, after all you shouldn't be treated in such a way. I'm sorry if we can't-"
"No its okay. I done this to myself. Beside its not the reason why I'm transferring."
"Then why?"
"My mother is sick. She's collapsed and been hospitalized"
"Oh? Is she alright?"
"Yes but she couldn't get out of bed. I must stay by her side so I decided to transfer school."
" I see but you know that you can just have leave of absence."
"Ah no it will be difficult. I won't be able to be with my mother."
"You can still can after all Tomoeda Private High School is not that far from your home. So no need to transfer, I'll just give you an excuse form."
"Ah no you don't understand Ma'am. My mother collapsed and is currently hospitalized."
"Yes I get that so I'm giving you excuse form."
"She's not here. My mother collapsed and is currently hospitalized not here but in England. Specifically in London ."
"Oh?"
"She can't travel back so I need to transfer school."
"Oh! I see then but I still need your mother's consent before we allowed you to transfer?"
"Yes. I have it with me. My mother approved of it." I said and handed the folder
"I see then can't be help then. Just finish some school clearance, fill up your school transfer form and your good to go."
"Hope your mother get well soon and good luck to your new school then. I hope the best for you Miss Daidouji. "
"Thanks Ma'am" I said and bow
"Welcome. You can get the clearance form unto my secretary."
"Thanks." I said again and exit the office
"I need clearance form and transfer form."
"Okay. Here. You must have clearance to all mention in the form then file it with your transfer form and give it to the Student Council then your all done."
"Okay, thank you." I said and got out he was just waiting at the bench
"So?" he said I just stare at him
"Daidouji?"
"Huh?"
"What now?"
"Ah! I just need to finish my clearance then filed my transfer at the Student Council Office and I'm good to go." I said and take out my phone I was about to text someone
"Aah then lets go." he said standing up I just look at him. Don't tell me his coming.
"Where to?" he ask, Aah he is coming with me. No he can't. He can't know.
"Ah.. About that" I said
"What?"
"Why don't you just wait at the car?" I said
"Huh?"
"I'll be going to a lot of offices and faculty. You might get tired walking around with me." I reasoned out while forcing a smile
"I don't mind. Beside grandfather ask me to accompany you." he said
"It's just that-" I said, I can't let him know. What would he think of me? He will laughed and might pity me if he finds out. He might also be a blabbermouth. I tried so hard to hide it to my mother. No he can't know about my school identity. He might tell my mother about it.
" I got it." he suddenly said
"Huh?" I exclaimed, What did he got? Don't tell me he already figure it out. No! No! I should make an excuse and reason out to him. He might-
"You're afraid to go around with me. People might think I'm your boyfriend or something. It will be hard to explain." he said, I just stare at him. Huh? So that's what he thought he got? Technically its not the reason but its a good excuse with this he might not accompany me.
"Ah yes." I responded, Hope he accept this reason.
"Why? Do you have a boy you have a huge crush on? Will he be your very first?"
"I don't have a crush on anyone."
"Right? Yet your afraid to be seen with me. I don't look that bad but whatever! Your choice." he said hands on his pocket turning his back at me and started walking.
I'm not afraid to be seen with him. Like I care what other thinks about him and me together. Beside I don't have a crush or I'm not liking anyone at the moment. It's far for my mind right now. What I'm more concern is that he might find out about my secret. How I am at this school. He can't know. He shouldn't know. But wait a minute what does he mean by my very first?
"Hiiragizawa!"
"Hmm? Change your mind?" he ask
"Ah No!"
"Okay then. See you! I'll stay at the parking lot."
"Wait! what do you mean by my very first?"
"Aah that, your very first love." he said
"That wouldn't be my first love." I said, why would he say that? Beside how does he know it will be the first? I could have past relationship.
"Oh really? But you told me." he said
"I don't remember telling you anything." I said in defense, Why would I even tell him? His my future arrange fiance I shouldn't give out details like that.
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't" I insisted
"Yes you did. Last night when were talking at your room." he said, what is he talking about? I don't remember saying such important fact about my life.
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did when your accusing me as a peeping Tom."
"Because you are. But I don't remember telling you anything." I response
"Yes you did. You even told me your pure and delicate... and that I tainted you."
"No I did not-" I try to say when I remember
"NO! Easy for you to say. Your a guy and maybe used to having company of girls. I'm not. I'm pure and delicate."
"Pure and delicate?" he ask sarcastically
"Yes I'm pure and delicate. You on the other hand just tainted me. I never had a boyfriend or relationship. I never been seen by anyone else and You. You saw me naked you peeping tom."
"My name is not Tom and I'm not peeping at you. I didn't saw you naked trust me."
"Remember now?" he teased, I just stare at him terrified
"I will take your reaction as a Yes." he said, Oh no! This can't be happening. Why did I tell him that? AAAAAHHHH
"Hmm, You also said you never had a boyfriend or relationship. So I'm right it will be the very first." he said, I just look at him my mouth open
"You should close your mouth or A fly might go in." he said closing my mouth
"Anyway I'll wait at the parking lot. Don't want to ruin your chance for a very first love life, though I don't know if it will go to as you plan since I already tainted you. Your words not mine." he teased
"Aah!"
"If it didn't go well. Don't worry I'm still here. After all I like it or not I'm your arrange fiance and you are mine" he said, Aah no! This is not happening. Why? Why? Why? I can't face him now.
" Call me if you need something. Oh wait you don't have my number yet." he said then take my phone and dial his number then call himself.
"There. I got your number. You have mine. See you!" he said and walk away
"Aah why?!" I said hands over my face from embarrassment.
Meanwhile in London
"Faster Syaoran. We must be there as soon as possible. Beside there are still a lot of things to do. We must finish today. The party is tonight."
"Yes. I'm hurriedly walking."
"Careful. The cake is the most important thing, Syaoran!"
"I'm doing my best Sakura. Not that I'm complaining but you do realize it's quite heavy carrying by myself. I can't even use magic were outside. So please relax and don't haste me."
"I'm just-"
"Would you just breathe?" he said
"Just breathe okay. Inhale! Exhale! Inhale! Exhale!" he instructed her and she obey
"Feel any better?"
"Yes. Thanks. Sorry I'm being bossy and stuff."
"It's okay. I know that your just panicking. Anyway Sakura the car door."
"Right! Sorry." then Sakura hurriedly open the car door while Syaoran put the cake inside when her phone rings
RING RING RING
" Hello! Yes, I'm Sakura. Who is speaking?"Sakura ask
"Aah! Yeah! Okay! Okay. What? He did what? Yes! Yes! I'm so sorry to hear that. Okay, okay. Thanks for the heads up Lhean. No it's okay. We will try to work it. Have a safe trip. Hope for the best. Bye!"
"Who called?"
"Lhean."
"Lhean called? Lhean Smith our secretary?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Apparently she was one of Eriol's lady candidate for marriage."
"What? Hiiragizawa never mention it. Seriously?"
"Yes, remember two months ago before vacation she goes AWOL."
(AN:AWOL means Absent Without Leave)
"Yeah."
"Well, she confronted Eriol about the arranged marriage and confess she likes him. "
"Ah and Hiiragizawa rejected her cold, flat and no mercy." Syaoran added
"Yes."
"Okay, so why did she call?"
"Well she couldn't handle the humiliation of her rejection and her painful heartbreak so she is transferring school and migrating to another country."
"Wow! Just because Hiiragizawa rejected her?"
"Yeah, well her reaction is much better than"
"Ah don't remind me. She was the most horrible of all. I'm glad Hiiragizawa rejected her. She's like a obsess stalker or something."
"Well there's that. Anyway the secretary position is open yet again. I guess I'm filling it up again."
"What? Your already the treasurer while I'm the Auditor and Peace Officer."
"Well there is nothing we can do right now. The Vice President has been vacant for over two years when Eriol took over as President earlier than expected and no one had taken it. Unless Meiling willingly take a student council position for the mean time. The school will start in two months and the Student Council handle's the enrollment. Eriol can't handle it without a VP or Secretary."
"Aah Hiiragizawa is a real pain in the -"
"Ah Ah! No bad words Syaoran!"
"Fine but can you blame me? Sakura, he had made every council member disappear."
"Well can't be help. It's very unlikely for him to like anyone. Let's just talk about it after the party."
"Fine, let's go."
At Tomoeda Private High School
Tomoyo POV
"Thank you Sir." I said as I finish half of the signatures on my clearance form
"Okay I guess only five faculties and I'm done with my clearance. I should head to the faculty." I said walking upstairs to the faculty room. I knock first then entered, a student secretary was inside
"Good Morning I'm looking for some teachers for my clearance."
"Ah let me see." she said as I handed her my paper
" Mr. Hiyoshi is at the Gym, Ms. Kurishima is at the greenhouse."
"How about Mr. Morito, Mrs. Lao and Mr. Yuan?"
"There currently not here today. Mr. Morito and are still on vacation and is on a meeting at Shojo High but they will be here tomorrow. Since there is also a meeting with all staffs and board of school at around 1pm. Just come back here tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh okay. Thanks then."
"Welcome." I just bow and exited. I was walking down the stairs while staring at my paper
"Such a shame the three teachers are not here. I guess I'm coming back tomorrow. Well might as well finish what I can today." I said then walk to corridor not realizing the people I'm avoiding is walking in front of me.
"My , My. Who do we have here?" I just had goosebumps and look terrified when I saw them.
"Your at school early Daidouji. Enrolling early just to avoid seeing us?" She said then walk close to me
"Daidouji I'm asking you a question? Are you deaf or mute now?"
"Aah no Maiko. I um... just finishing my clearance."
"Ah right she didn't get to finish her clearance because she been hospital for a while, right Sanne?" she said, I just back away
"Right, cause she's a goody goody good girl. Seducing your boyfriend. Trying to go against us. Like she is so tough." Sanne said
"She felt she can but ended up hospitalized. Yet here she is. Still acting so strong. I think she didn't learn her lesson." Aira chime in
"Um I-" I stuttered while shivering
"What? Don't worry you Daidouji. You won't end up at hospital again as long as your a good girl. Just do as we say and nothing much will happen." Maiko said holding strand of my hair
"I-" I stuttered
"I told you not to do anything to her."
"Were not, right Daidouji?" she ask I just back away then got caught
"Aah." I shriek
"You smell really good babe." he said embracing me tighter while smelling me. It was Kaito, Maiko's brother. The greatest playboy and perverted guy at the campus. He just make girls his girlfriend to have sex with until he gets bored then dispose them. He have eyes on me ever since were freshman never get a chance to come close because of my bodyguards. I just pull away from him
"Don't be scared. I was the one who ask them not to do anything to you. All you have to do is be my girl and have fun with me. " he said
"I.. Ra..rather.. N..not." I stuttered
"Why not? My brother likes you. Beside shouldn't you make up for what you did. You got as suspended."
"I.. Uh."
"Okay, then why don't you just have one fun day with my brother and we call it quits."
"I.. Uh.."
"Come on now. He hadn't fun for a while and the way you dress seems like your asking for it."
"I..."
"Asking for what?" said by familiar voice
London Hiiragizawa Mansion
"Sorry were ." Sakura said
"It's okay."
"Where do I put the cake?" Syaoran ask
"The center table." Kaho said and Syaoran nodded
"I'll help." Nakuru said and help Syaoran
"What's with your face?" Meiling ask
"Well Lhean left."
"Our secretary?"
"Yeah."
"Let me guess the reason. Eriol?"
"Yes. Were doomed. Eriol, Syaoran and I are the only ones left as student council members, Meiling would you-"
"No. I said it before I don't want to be a member. I have club activities and even though I feel bad for you. I will feel bad if my reputation get tainted. Eriol is so bossy and perfectionist. I can't handle that I might just hit him."
"You have a point. I guess I'm it again."
"What about Eriol's soon fiance?"
"Huh?"
"Well, I heard she's transferring at our school. From what I have read in magazine she's very intelligent and organized. I also heard she have excellent grades and I think she can tolerate Eriol. She can be a good candidate as VP, right?"
"I think so. I just don't know if she will accept?"
"Oh she will. We will make sure of it."
"Huh? Meiling, what are you thinking?"
"Just leave it to me. If I can't make her a student council member. I will accept being the secretary."
"Really?"
"Yes, only if I can't make her."
"Okay, then I will leave it to you."Sakura said
"Okay everything ready?" Kaho stated
"Yeah!" Sakura said
"Here he comes. Position everyone" Syaoran said
Twin Tower Hotel
Still Tomoyo POV
We just finish dinner at the hotel restaurant. At least I finish Hiiragizawa barely touch his food. I wonder if his not feeling well. Suddenly Hiiragizawa got up from his seat.
"Daidouji!"
"Huh?" I said a bit nervously
"Shall we head upstairs?"
"Ah you haven't eaten."
"I don't have an appetite. Let's just go upstairs."
"You should go ahead. I'm getting something at the lounge. They said I have package and mails deliver here from my mother's Mansion." I said he was just looking at me.
"I won't be long. I'll head upstairs straight. Promise."
"Okay then." he said then left
"Phew!" as I breathe out, Glad his not asking. I guess he didn't catch on what happen at the Campus. Its not like I'm avoiding the topic but I rather not talk about it. I stand up and walk to the lounge beside it wasn't just an excuse I truthfully have mails and package.
"Are there any mails and package address to me from the Daidouji Mansion?" I ask
"Yes Mam, Here they are. Can you carry it by yourself?"
"Yes, thank you. Wow it's quite a lot. Ah thanks again." I said as I walk unto the elevator and went in.
I walk unto the hallway passing Hiiragizawa's room. It was closed and no light can be seen underneath. I guess he slept early. He must be tired. I just walked by and went to my room opening the door while looking through the package.
"It's from My Elementary School. How weird? Why would they send me a package?" I said then closed the door when I turn, I drop everything I was holding
"Aah! What are you doing inside my room?" I exclaimed
"You haven't said anything." he said
"Huh?"
"Don't act dumb Daidouji. You know what I'm talking about." Hiiragizawa stated
"Huh? What are you saying Hiiragizawa?"
"Stop acting you don't know Daidouji."
"Well I don't think I know what your saying."
"Stop avoiding the topic. You know very well what I'm talking about."
"I don't know what your-"
"About your School Identity." he said I just look at him eyes wide open, speechless and I gulped , did he just found out?
To be continued...
