Chapter 11. Phase One

I laid down on my bed and stared up at the ceiling, what the hell was i going to do? I glanced over at Eriol who's eyes were glued to Tomoyo's diary, becoming her friend would'nt be easy. Getting her trust back would be ever harder! So how was I supposed to create some evil plan to trick her into falling for Eriol without her knowing it? Tomoyo was smart, like helllla smart. She would probably find out right? AHH! I screamed into the pillow and sat up, "Eriol!" I yelled out in anger.

He gave me a confused expression, "What?" He asked looking back down at the diary.

"Help?" I asked, rolling my eyes, he turned around and shrugged, "How am I going to get you and her Highness together if she doesn't trust me?"

He stood up and stretched, "Um, not my problem." My mouth opened wide, what? "You're the one who said you'd hook me up with her. Never told me I had to help in any way."

I stood up and wacked him in the face with a pillow, "You don't help, you don't get the Princess."

He poked me forhead, "You don't help me, if you fail math, you wont be allowed to go to the last dance."

I scoffed, "I don't need your help with math!" I turned away and gulped, the bonehead had a point. I fail math, there was no way I'd be allowed to attend the last dance! God. Eriol and Tomoyo made such a great couple; they were both evil masterminds at making my life miserable.

Eriol looked me up and down and started to laugh, "You? Not fail math?" He took off his glasses and wiped it on his shirt, "Pinch me, I think I'm dreaming!"

I glared at him, "So what? You won't be anything on Tomoyo's "Possible Boyfriend List" if I don't help you get there." I grabbed the diary, "The past," I counted the pages, "20 pages were about who?" I gave him back the diary.

He growled, "On Syaoran."

I nodded my head, "And how many pages were about you?"

He turned away, "Well, there was this 1 sentence when she talked about how I---"

"Uh huh, exactly!" I crossed my arms over my chest, "You need me more than I need you."

He flicked me off, "What do you want me to do this time?"

I tapped my chin, "Tell her..." I went over my mastermind plan in my head, "Tell her that I've been crying."

He looked at me with big eyes, "Crying?" I nodded my head, "BUT YOU NEVER CRY!" He yelled.

I covered my ears, "Thanks for the news bulletin. Now go to her house, tell her you found her diary."

He looked at me as if i were crazy, "GIVE IT BACK? What the hell am I supposed to say? 'Here Daidoji, I finished reading half of your diary, you can have it back now!"

I slapped my forhead, "NO STUPID! AHH!" Today was officially the most frustrating day of my life! "You go there, hand her the diary say something like, 'Oh, I found this is it yours? I think it must of fell out of your backpack I took it home by mistake.' Say anything, just don't tell her your read it! Then, tell her I cried and was sad that I lost a real friend." He nodded his head, "Like, say something um... sissy."

He raised an eyebrow, "Sissy?"

I nodded my head, "Like: 'Man, Sakura was pretty beat up today, she wouldnt stop crying when I went over there!' Like, I dont know, make me sound like a total wuss!"

He sat on the chair, "The girl known for breaking her arm and smiling through the whole cast-operation broke down and cried about a fight?" I nodded my head with a big smile, "Who the hell would beleive that?"

---------

"SHE'S CRYING?" Tomoyo's mouth was formed into an o-shape.

Eriol nodded, "Yeah, she was like so beat up today."

"What? No way! I didn't even beat her up!" Tomoyo started to pace around her front porch.

Eriol sweat-dropped, "No, I mean beat up as in, bummed out?"

Tomoyo fell back anime style, "Oh yeah, thats what I meant..." She let out a small laugh, "But, wait, she really cried?"

Eriol nodded, "Yeah, I was surprised myself! I mean the girl who--"

"Didn't cry when her arm broke and she smiled through the whol cast-operation." Tomoyo finished.

Eriol half-smiled, "Yeah, exactly."

Tomoyo sat down in one of her porch chairs, "I made Sakura Kinomoto cry?"

Eriol shrugged, "I guess?"

She immediatley stood up, "You've gotta be kidding me!"

Eriol nodded his head in the no-direction, "Nope. Im dead serious."

I tried so hard not to laugh as I heard the conversation. I silently made a small thankyou prayer to the person who created tape-recorders. Eriol rolled his eyes at me, "Shut up!"

I looked at him and cracked up even harder, "Phase one, complete!"

He rolled his eyes, "Yeah,yeah... I still can't beleive she fell for it."

I smiled, and palyed the tape over again, Tomoyo Daidoji was one gullible princess!
