***Tomoyo***P.O.V
After the shopping incident Kanou, Yukimura and I decided to hang out more often. I guess you can say we're even friends now.
I'm now even hanging out with them everyday. That is until Kanou happens to say something to me on a Monday morning while we all walked to school.
"Tomoyo I think you should maybe find... friends don't get me wrong we are friends...what I mean is well what I'm trying to say is-" Kanou stutters.
"It's ok Kanou I get what you're trying to say and I think you're right about that." I say interrupting Kanou.
That was actually a lie I had no idea what he was trying to say, not one bit. Why does he think I need friends? Does he think I'm annoying? Does he not like me anymore?
"Tomoyo I think what our buddy Kanou is trying to say is he would like you to make more friends you can relate to better, a girl perhaps." Yukimura says which surprise me.
Oh it makes sense now. Now that I think about it I haven't really made any friends in my class that are girls. This is a chance to prove to Kanou that I can manage anything he tells me to do.
"I will try my best Kanou!" I shout before running ahead of them to get to school. Who should I be friends with? There are so many social groups I don't even know where to start.
I can see there are the shy girls, the popular girls and athletic girls. I don't think I would fit into any of those categories.
I then spot a girl with short brown hair and bright blue eyes. She was leaning against a locker all alone. I hurried over to her. She looked sad.
"Hi there, is everything OK?" I asked her.
"Yeah..I guess." She said in a soft sweet voice.
"Well I'm Tomoyo and if anything is bothering you, you can always come to me about it if you would like?"
"Tomoyo...hey aren't you that girl who was digging in the trash?" She asks.
I forgot everyone seen the pictures of me dumpster diving. The girl then started to giggle loudly.
"Haha...I got to go I can't be around a girl who has a reputation of searching in dumpsters." She said before walking off. Well that clearly didn't work. I sighed as I walked to my classroom. I was going to be late for class.
It was almost time to go home and I was still pretty upset there isn't a single girl who is nice enough to want to even talk to me yet alone be around me.
When school was practically over I hear giggles and laughter coming from inside a classroom. I peek my head in the door window and see a group of girls laughing. They actually look kind of friendly.
I look at a girl who's holding a soccer ball. This must be the soccer club for girls. Just as I was about to walk in someone starts talking to me.
"Excuse me but I need to get in" A girl with short black hair says. So apologized moving out of the doorway so she can open the sliding door.
The girl then bows her head to all the girls in the soccer club. She then has this aggressive yet determined look on her face.
"I would...really like to be in your club and become friends! I admire all of you for how hard you work in soccer and you guys are really good!" The girl says.
Maybe this was my chance to make friends too. I rush into the room and immediately all eyes were on me. I felt nervous but I began to speak anyway.
"Uhh...I would like to be your friend too!" I said quickly bowing and rising again. A moment of silence passed by before one of the soccer team girls spoke. I assumed she was the leader of the group.
"You guys really wanna be our friends huh?" The soccer girl spoke with a smirk on her face. She had bubble gum in her mouth and made a bubble with it before it pops.
"Yes!" The girl and I say at the same time.
"Very well, then how about we play a game of soccer dodge ball?" The soccer girl spoke again.
"Soccer dodge ball?" I ask making a gulping sound. That didn't sound like a friendly game at all l, but if this would get me friends then I will just have to play their little game.
"Yeah, you can leave now if you're too scared." Another soccer girl says.
"Bring it on!" I shouted balling my hands into fists. I wasn't going to quit so easily.
Next thing I know the girl from before and I are on the soccer field getting ready to play soccer dodge ball.
The rules were really simple. We had to dodge all the soccer balls they kick at us. If we decide to quit or give up then the deal of being friends and joining the group is over.
Suddenly a soccer team leader blows a whistle to let us know it's time to begin the game. Me and the girl dodge the first round of soccer balls but suddenly high speed balls started flying in the air. We both start to get hit everywhere by incoming soccer balls.
I didn't know how much more I could take after a while because my body was starting to ache everywhere. A really high soccer ball goes flying at full speed toward the other girl with short black hair.
The ball hits her dead in the face and she stumbles on the ground. Her nose is bleeding and tears burst out her eyes. Before I can help her a soccer ball comes rushing in hitting me in the stomach I crouch in pain but get back up.
"Rule # 3 No helping other competitors! This is a competition!" Someone shouts I was too much in pain to see who said that.
***Yukimura***P.O.V
I was rushing in the hallway to get these papers to Misaki when I hear a lot of commotion coming from outside. I look out the nearest window and see Tomoyo on the soccer field.
I wonder what she is doing out there? Suddenly a soccer ball comes flying in and hits her hard in her stomach and she crouches in pain. I have to tell Kanou because she's our friend in need!
I rush looking for Kanou. I finally spot him talking to Misaki. I run fast towards them both. I stop trying to catch my breath from all that running.
"Yukimura what happened?" Kanou asks me.
"Tomoyo is in trouble!" I say between breaths.
"Trouble what do you mean Yukimura?" Misaki asks.
"I see Tomoyo outside on the soccer field and she's playing soccer dodge ball with the soccer team! She's hurt Kanou we have to help her!" I shout panicking.
All of a sudden Kanou starts running towards the soccer field. I never seen him run that fast in my life not even for me.
I look over at Misaki who is making a grin. I have a feeling she knows something I don't know. I handed over the paperwork to Misaki and run towards the soccer field to catch up with Kanou.
***Tomoyo***P.O.V
I get up ready for them to kick the next ball. I was holding my stomach to try to stop the pain. A soccer ball comes flying at full speed in the direction of my face.
I was too weak to move fast so I closed my eyes and waited for the impact. When realized nothing had happened I began to open one eye then the other.
Kanou's back stood facing me, in his hand was a soccer ball. I'm assuming he must of ran in front of me and caught the soccer ball with his hands so it wouldn't hit me in the face.
"Hey loser you are ruining our soccer game!" A soccer girl shouts at Kanou.
"Games over!" Kanou says in a voice I never heard before throwing the ball to the ground. He began to walk back inside the school.
"Kanou wait...!" I said Kanou stops but doesn't turn around.
"What is wrong with you? Do you have any idea that...you know what never mind! My whole life is changed because of you, but now I realized my life was a whole lot better without you!" Kanou yells. I never heard him yell in such a serious voice before.
It scares me, it really scares me.
"Kanou I'm-" I say reaching out to put my hand on his shoulder for comfort.
"No just don't! I'm walking home alone today." Kanou shouts running back in the school.
I see Yukimura who looks surprised by Kanou's sudden outburst too.
I was now upset at Kanou for yelling at me for no reason so I decided to walk over to Yukimura to see if he knew the reason for Kanou's sudden outburst.
"What's Kanou's problem anyway? I didn't do anything wrong!" I say to Yukimura although it did sound like I was yelling.
"I don't think Kanou was one-hundred percent right, but in some points he made he was." Yukimura says to me.
"What? You're not taking his side are you?"
"You still don't get it do you Tomoyo?" Yukimura says with a sad expression before walking off.
"Get what? Why is everyone talking nonsense? I didn't do anything wrong!" I sighed and headed back in the school. At the end of the day I didn't make any new friends and I may have lost two old ones too.
I then headed back in the school and walked down the hall when suddenly a girl with a long pink ponytail stopped me in my path. She just stared at me for a really long time. It was almost as if she was hypnotizing me with her blue eyes.
"What?" I said in a rude tone. The girl doesn't respond at first.
"...What's the matter?" The girl finally asks. I look her a long time. What's the harm in me saying anything, maybe it would be good to share my problems.
"J-Just it's hard for me to make friends here. My guy friends agreed that it's best if I get friends I could relate to better like a girl." I explain and the girl with the pink ponytail doesn't respond, she continues to just stare.
"Come." She says grabbing my hand and running, I try to break free.
"H-Hey wait-wait just a minute!" I say but that doesn't stop the girl from dragging me along. We then stopped in front of a classroom. I turn towards the girl she just nods her head.
I then hesitate before opening the sliding door. I notice there are people inside.
"I'm Mizuki. Welcome to the music club. We are glad to have you." Mizuki says pushing me into a room full of smiling faces.
Yep I don't need Yukimura or anyone and I definitely don't need Kanou!
