***Tomoyo*** P.O.V

I wake up to hear the sound of ringing. I slowly open up my eyes and look at the clock. My mouth dropped open as I realized I was gonna be late to school again.

I hopped out of bed and put on whatever was available. There wasn't enough time for breakfast so I would have to skip it for today. I ran out the door no matter how I looked.

As I ran into the school doors I ran into someone which caused us both to fall down. Why am I always bumping into people?

"I'm sorry." I say bowing down and rising again. I face a boy who seems a lot shorter than most guys I know. He has dark green hair and brown eyes almost the same shade as Misaki's.

"That's OK. Just no running in the halls this time ok." He said politely.

I nodded in agreement and smiled.

"Sorry I was in a rush to get to school." I said scratching the back of my head.

'Oh I see, by the way I'm Yukimura vice president at Seika High and I don't believe I seen you before."

"Oh I'm Tomoyo Miyuki pleasure to meet you Yukimura." I replyed. Just then the bell rings so we both rush to class right away.

In class I see girls and boys who seem to be excited about something. I hear a bunch of whispers and laughing. I have a feeling they're not whispering about me. I wonder just is going on.

As soon as we are dismissed from class I rush out the door.

"Hey Tomoyo!" I hear a voice from behind me say. I turned around to see Yuichi grinning at me and waving from a distance.

"Hello!" I say as he runs over to me.

"Are you planning on going to the Spring Festival? "

"Spring Festival...? " I ask.

"You mean you don't know that the Spring Festival is tomorrow? I heard it's gonna be really exciting this year!"

"I think I'll pass." I say truthfully.

"Bummer I was really wondering...if you would go with me?" He says quietly, I can now see he's blushing.

I started to blush, why out of every girl in this school does Yuichi wanna go to the festival with me?

"I-uh-I have to go!" was all I could stutter out before the bell rings, I left Yuichi standing right there. Yuichi is a nice guy but I just can't tell him that I don't wanna go with him because I only think of him as a friend, so I decided to run.

I ran all the way to my next class. I know running away from my problems literally won't solve anything. Sooner or later Yuichi would bring it up again so I had to be ready with an answer. How could I tell him no in a nice way?

I already knew the answer to that there was no way to say no in a nice way. That means I will just have to break his heart. Poor Yuichi...

After class as I'm walking still thinking about all these questions I see Yukimura with a huge grin on his face. I decide to walk over to him to see what he was so happy about.

"Hey Yukimura you seem to be in a really good mood for some reason."

"I am I decided to see if Kanou would go to the Spring Festival with me as friends."

"Oh that sounds like fun." I say grinning cheerfully. So even someone as quiet as Kanou has a close friend. After Yukimura and I talked a little bit we both parted ways.

When it came around the time to head back to homeroom, I was scared because Yuichi just happen to be in that class with me. I walked in the classroom and looked to see if Yuichi was there.

To my surprise Yuichi wasn't there so I sat in my normal seat next to Kanou. Kanou didn't look at me but I could tell he was bored I mean who wouldn't be?

Just then Yuichi walked into class and everyone's eyes were on me. I guess everyone knows about Yuichi asking me to go to with him to the Spring Festival. Gossip really travels fast in anime huh?

"So Tomoyo have you decided to come to the festival with me?" He asks putting his hand on my desk.

"I-uh I can't!" I shout. Now I can see Kanou's eyes on me.

"Why not?"

Oh crap I didn't think this far ahead! What am I suppose to tell him now? How can I reject him with all these eyes watching me!?

"Because I-uh I'm going with-Kanou!" I blurted out like an idiot. I heard gasps around the room.

I looked over at Kanou he looked more surprised than anyone else here. I can't really blame him for being shocked after all it was kinda last minute planning.

"Fine then!" Yuichi said hitting my desk and giving a mean glare to Kanou before walking off to sit down.

Crap I'm in trouble and what's even worse is Yukimura is suppose to go with Kanou. What am I going to do?

The next day I didn't want to go to school. I didn't know how I would be able to face Kanou,Yuichi and Yukimura. They all probably hate me now.

I came to Seika High to make friends but all I did was the opposite of that. Why can't I ever do anything right? Maybe I can take a fake sick day.

No Tomoyo you have to learn to face your problems you can't keep running away.Well there's no going back now because I was standing at the entrance of Seika High.

I am greeted by Yukimura which surprised me a bit because I was sure he was going to hate me. To my surprise he welcomes me by saying thank you.

"Thank you for what?" I ask.

"Thank you for taking Kanou to the festival for me. Thanks to you I don't have to tell Kanou I'll be busy that day."

"Wait what?"

"Let me explain more clearly, I found out I will be busy that day. You were kind enough to invite Kanou to the festival which means I won't have to tell him I can't make it. That is why you asked him to go with you in the first place right? To help me out?"

"Well in that case then yes, that's exactly why I asked Kanou to go to the festival with me!" I lied.

"That's great!" Yukimura replies grinning cheerfully. I make a fake smile back, the only problem is Kanou never really responded when I said I was going to the festival with him. What makes me so sure that he will actually go with me?

I guess I will have to try because I don't want to let Yukimura I walk in to the classroom I march straight up to Kanou. Here goes nothing Tomoyo.

"Why did you lie?"

I was taken back by his blunt question. I hung my head low in guiltiness. Should I tell Kanou why I lied or should I lie about the real reason too?

"I-will you go to the Festival with me for real?" I ask changing the subject.

"Why would I do that after you lied about me going to the festival with you in the first place?" He says without a stutter.

"Well that's umm because yukimuracan'tmakeittothefestivalwithyou!" I say really fast.

"What was that?" Kanou asks.

"Huh...Yukimura can't make the festival so he wants me to go with you instead." I sigh.

"Well I guess I could go...but only for the sake of Yukimura." he says with his hand on his chin.

I couldn't help but think he was kinda cute when he made his thinking face.Wait what am I saying it's not like I like Kanou or something.

"That's good." I said grinning at Kanou. He didn't even grin back instead he now continued to write something in a notebook.

I go and take a seat at my desk waiting for class to start when Yuichi comes up to my desk.

"Why are you going to the festival with a geek like that?" He asks me.

"Kanou isn't a geek."

"Oh sure, so what is it do you like him or something?" Yuichi asks which surprises me.

"N-No it's nothing like that!" I stutter out my cheeks turning all red.

"Oh really then what is it like?" He asks with a sarcastic on his face. I'm starting to change my thoughts on Yuichi now.

"I'm simply doing a good friend of mine a favor." I try to say casually.

"Which friend would that be?" The teacher finally walks in the room and tells Yuichi to sit down.

"Just remember Tomoyo you will be mine." he says before walking to his desk. What is this a romance movie?

I don't know whether to take that as a threat or a compliment but I notice Kanou was looking at me the whole time. When I looked over at him he quickly turned his head away.

A day later I was at the festival with Kanou. We were standing there because we had no idea what we should do.

"Uh-what-um do you want to eat?" Kanou asks me breaking the silence.

"How about some cotton candy or some..I don't know." I said sighing.

"Cotton candy sounds OK." Kanou adds.

We begin to walk over to the cotton candy stand and we eat our cotton candy. I start laughing when I see Kanou with some cotton candy on his face.

"Wh-What's so funny?" He stutters out.

"Here." I say taking my finger and begin wiping the cotton candy on the corner of his mouth off. When I noticed what I was doing we both blushed and looked away.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to...let's go on some rides." I say.

We actually decide to go to the photo booth first and get photos taken. At first we took normal photos but the more I looked I him the more I had an urge to get closer to him. Without thinking in one of the photos I kissed Kanou on the cheek. What was wrong with me?

When I kissed Kanou on the cheek he pushed me away a little bit. I feel terrible for making him feel so uncomfortable around me. After the photos we then walked to see what else we could do.

As we walked I began slipping on a cotton candy stick. Why am I so clumsy all the time? Did I get cursed by the clumsy fairy or something?Kanou quickly grabs my wrist so I can regain balance.

"Are you alright?" Kanou asks seeming concerned.

"I'm fine i'm just super clumsy." I state honestly.

The rest of the festival we ride on roller coasters and then the ferris wheel. I then walked passed a booth and saw something that caught my attention.

It was a game where you had to knock over three bottles with only one ball.

"Step right up missy and take your shot it only costs a dollar." the owner of the booth stated.

I searched my pockets. I seemed to have ran out of money. Just when I was about to leave Kanou puts some yen in the guys hand.

The man then hands me a ball and I then throw the ball and miss completely. I now feel really guilty about using Kanou's money.

I then tell Kanou maybe we should go because I obviously suck at throwing so I was about to walk away when I noticed Kanou still stood at the booth.

What strange thing is Kanou doing now?

"Please set up the game again." Kanou says as he then places more yen on the counter of the booth.

"Yes sir."

Once the game is set up he stares long and hard at the bottles. Then he gets in position to throw the ball and it hits the bottle dead in the middle but it doesn't even budge the bottles.

"Sorry maybe next time you can try again with more yen." The booth owner says. Kanou stares at the shop owner for a while before speaking.

"No one can beat this game because those bottles are glued to the booth." Kanou says bluntly.

The man looks at Kanou grimly like he's pissed that he's been caught.

"Why you-I mean I'll tell you what kid I'll let you pick any prize you want for free if you promise not to tell anyone about this." He says Kanou then turns to me.

"Pick out a prize Tomoyo." Kanou says and I blush. Did he want to win something for me?

I then look and see a cute small pink bear sitting on the tallest shelf.

Kanou sees the one im looking at and begins to talk to the booth owner.

"I'll take that stuffed bear." Kanou says and the man gives him the small pink bear which Kanou then hands to me.

I then smile, the bear was small and cute.

"Thank you." I say to Kanou and he blushes and looks away.

"L-Let's walk around some more." He says and we start walking. I can tell he still isn't completly comfortable yet but even so I can't deny that Kanou really has a sweet and sensitive side to him.

I then noticed something else. I noticed Kanou didn't seem like he was having fun during all the time we've been here. When I think about it I never did ask Kanou what he wanted to do. I feel so bad because the festival is over. I promised Yukimura to take Kanou to the festival to actually have fun.

I don't think Kanou had any fun thanks to me. All of a sudden tears roll down my cheeks and they keep coming. Why am I crying it's not a big deal. Kanou then turns around and looks at me surprised.

***Kanou***P.O.V

I look at Tomoyo with tears rolling down her face I wonder why she was crying.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize that you might've not been having fun with me I'm sorry so...sorry."

Is that what it was? She thought I wasn't having fun. To be honest it's not that I wasn't having fun it was just interesting to hang out with a girl for once.

To me hanging out with a girl like Tomoyo was the fun part. Tomoyo just stands there still crying looking at the ground.

I have to be careful with my next move because girls are fragile and they can break very easily.

I hesitate at first but then I take my hand out and place it on Tomoyo's head ruffling her hair a bit.

"Don't worry..I had fun." I say. She then wipes the tears from her eyes and grins.

I actually grin back. Misaki was right I have changed quite a bit.

"Let's go home." I say.
