This year Valentine's Day would be different for high school, usually one day the girls give their loved one chocolate and another day that guy would respond them by giving them something back. No, this year everything would be different, not only because they will have a festival, but they will celebrate it in the western way; girls and boys will exchange the chocolate, flowers or gifts the same day.
'Good morning' Tomoyo said as she sat in front of Eriol and look at the empty seat next to her and Shaoran looking depressed behind it. 'Good morning' Meiling and Shaoran said while smiling at her. 'Good morning Tomoyo' the blue eyed boy said 'Good morning Eriol' she responded 'How are you?' 'I'm fine how about you?' he asked 'I'm kind of tired, yesterday at ballet practice I felt and hurt my ankle' she said looking at her feet as she sat' Eriol's eyes were wide opened and asked worried 'How bad is it? Does it still hurt? Did you come school walking? Isn't that bad for your…' Tomoyo interrupt smiling at him 'You too ask many questions, thank you for worry about me but I am okay. It's true it does sting a little, however I am fine, really' He breathed heavy and then smiled; she smiled at him and turned around.
'Morning, sorry I am so late!' Sakura ran and rushed into her seat and smile at everybody. 'Good morning honey' Shaoran said and smiled at her 'Morning honey' she said as she softly placed a kiss on Shaoran's cheek. The bell rang and Mrs. Rei entered the class and said 'Happy Valentine's Day students as you know the Seniors students will be coming to the rooms giving out the presents, but the principal said that shouldn't a be a reason for a mess'
The day pass and Tomoyo already had over 27 dozens of roses and infinite amount of chocolate. 'I'll give some to Kero' she thought. Lunch time came and the gifts still arrived to Tomoyo making Eriol a little bit uncomfortable. 'Wow Tomoyo, at this rate you will be the girl that received more gifts in high school' Chiharu said amazed 'That's to be expected, she is the cutest girl in all high school' Sakura said, Rika, Meiling and Naoko nodded in agreement. 'Come on guys you'll make me blush' Tomoyo said 'Anyways where are the boys? Shouldn't you be with Shaoran Sakura? And you Naoko where is Yuri? Meiling shouldn't you be with Souta?' The girls smiled and said 'Today after the festival we'll spend the time together, so we decided this lunch should be a girls only' Naoko explain. 'I see, thank you girls!' Tomoyo replied. 'So, Tomoyo' Meiling said in a teasing voice 'What are you going to say to Eriol?' hearing this Tomoyo blushed and smile since an image of him came to her 'I don't know, when he is around I become more clumsy and my heartbeat goes faster and slower at the same time. I think I, I think I…' Rika interrupted 'Like him?' Tomoyo shook her head 'More like love him I would say' Sakura said and smiled at her best friend. Tomoyo blush more and smiled 'Exactly'. 'How much do you like him?' Chiharu asked.
'So what are you going to do?' Takashi asked 'Yeah you know what they say, if you like it then you should put a ring on it' Souta teased 'come on dude, have you opened your eyes? Tomoyo is like the most wanted girl in high school, I mean did you see the amount of roses and gifts she got?' Yuri bothered Eriol whom was getting annoyed 'You know Eriol, you are very mature and when she is around you act like a lost sheep. Like you don't know what to do, however you still enjoy being with her right? Cheer up man it's Valentine's Day after all' Hideou reassured 'and you know her, she is a very sweet girl and cares about you' Shaoran said supporting his best friend. 'In the worst case, if she doesn't love you the way you do, she will be nice and give you a sincere reply. She really cares for you, and she would never hurt you in any way and you know it'. Eriol sighed 'I don't know when I am with her I can't really think clearly, I just…' 'How much you love her?' Takashi asked.
'More than I can tell' Eriol and Tomoyo responded.
The bell rang and they had P.E. they all went to the fields. Tomoyo didn't have the class so she sat on the bench and start drawing Eriol's face, when she came to realize what she was doing she blush and erased it because she thought maybe someone could see it, she sighed in frustration and ask the coach if she could leave so she could fix her things since it would take her longer than usual, her coach simply nodded. As she slowly walked throw the hallways she came across the field were the guys were playing soccer, she glanced at Eriol and stared at him, he saw that Tomoyo was watching her and smiled at her, she blushed and turned around. In matters of seconds a ball hit Tomoyo by her hip and she felt hard in the ground.
'Oh my God' Eriol said and ran to help Tomoyo up, followed by Shaoran, Takashi, Souta, Yuri, Hideou and the coach. 'Are you okay Tomoyo?' Yuri asked 'Yes, I merely felt a little' Tomoyo said with a nervous laugh 'That's not true' Eriol said worried 'you landed pretty hard, I saw it' as Eriol kneeled and faced her, but Tomoyo looked away. 'Hiiragizawa, take Ms. Daiidouji to the infirmary' the coach said 'Sure' Eriol said a picked up bridal style and carefully lifted little Tomoyo. 'What are you looking at?' the coach said a sent the guys running around the field.
'Thank you' Tomoyo said as the nurse gave her a painkiller. 'Huh?' Eriol said confused 'You know for everything, for bringing me here. I know even if the coach wouldn't tell you to bring me here, you would. You are really gentle Eriol' Tomoyo grinned 'You are always welcome' he said making Tomoyo blush and he notice. After she drank the pill he asked if she wanted for him to carry her again, she shook her and guaranteed him that she could walk perfectly. They walked together to their classroom since the bell was about to ring 'How am I going to take all this home?' she said looking down at the roses and took out her cell phone 'I'm going to call my chauffer so she could pick me up and help me with the valentine presents' before she could press any button Eriol said 'There is no need I will help you and walk you home' 'Really? Isn't that a bother?' 'Not at all, I enjoy being at your company' he said and blushed; she smiled and felt her heart race faster and slower as she had said earlier.
Eriol walked Tomoyo to her house and help her with what apparently was an infinite amount of roses and other gifts. He also helped her placing the flowers near the garden. He was about to leave when Tomoyo told him to wait a little bit more 'Here' she gave him a letter and some home baked cookies 'promise me that you will read it at night after the festival' she blushed as she gave it to him. 'Thank you Tomoyo, this is really thoughtful. You see I was wondering if you could meet me near the lake at the festival there is something that I need to tell you' his heart started racing and he felt that he would have a heart attack. Tomoyo smiled and her eyes had a certain glow 'I also need to tell you something Eriol' she said as she placed a kiss on his cheek and she shyly closed the door.
'I'll tell her today. I'm going to tell Tomoyo that I love her' Eriol texted Shaoran. 'He told me to go to the lake together; I've decided today I'm going to tell Eriol that I love him' Tomoyo texted Sakura. Shaoran and Sakura were together and showed each other their messages and smiled.
