Chapter 2-Why?

Tomoyo's heart came to a complete halt, and she lifted her eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

Eriol cleared his throat.

"Excuse me for not making myself clear. Tomoyo, I was wondering if you would go to--"

Tomoyo laughed. A musical laugh that awed everyone. Including Eriol.

"I heard you. I was just—shocked. That's all."

Eriol smiled.

"What is your answer to my question?"

Tomoyo's eyes were glittering as she looked at Eriol.

"Yes. I would love to go to prom with you."

"Till then. I'll pick you up at 7."

And with that, Eriol slid on his shades and walked out the door.

"Yo, Eriol! Way to go man! And I thought you would chicken out."

Eriol grinned.

"Naw. You know me better than that. So, what are you guys planning to do?"

Kyle had a mischievous glint in his baby blue eyes.

"You'll find out. It'll be hilarious. Just wait and see."

--Prom Night—

Tomoyo was nervous. She was actually going to prom! Looking at herself in the mirror she smiled. Tomoyo wore a beautiful lavender gown with thin straps, with matching gloves, and shoes. Around her pale, slim neck, she wore an amethyst and diamond flower link necklace, and dangling from her ears, were matching earrings. Her long flowing hair was put in a neat french twist on top of her head with streamers at the sides. She wore contacts instead of her glasses. And though she applied little makeup, she looked like a princess. She wanted to impress Eriol so badly. Maybe even receive a good night's kiss from him. Tomoyo shivered at the thought of having Eriol's lips on hers. She would die of pleasure.

"Honey, Eriol is here to pick you up!"

"Coming, Mom!"

Tomoyo took one last look at herself and slowly started down the stairs. When Tomoyo nearly reached the bottom step, Eriol was looking outside the window, oblivious of her presence.

Tomoyo cleared her throat, which got Eriol's attention.

Eriol smiled.

"Wow, you look beautiful."

Tomoyo blushed prettily, and gave Eriol a shy smile.

"Thank you. You look quite handsome yourself."

Eriol gallantly held out his hand and led Tomoyo down the rest of the steps and out the front door.

--Dance Floor—

"Hey! You two look great! Come on now! Let's dance!"

Tomoyo smiled politely at a guy who she supposed was Eriol's friend.

Eriol grinned and pulled Tomoyo towards him.

"Come on Tomoyo! Let's dance!"

Tomoyo shook her head and backed away.

"No thank you. I'd rather have a drink or something."

Eriol laughed.

"You've got to be kidding me. This is prom. Have some fun. Relax!"

"No. Really. I don't know how to--"

But before Tomoyo could continue to protest, Eriol had pulled her with him into the large crowd of people that were dancing. It was obvious that Tomoyo didn't know how to dance. But in no time, Tomoyo seemed like she danced her entire life. She was a natural. Eriol enjoyed himself greatly. More than he imagined he would. He never expected Tomoyo, the bookworm Tomoyo, could be so fun and lovable. And absolutely beautiful.

Suddenly, a slow song began to play.

1.1 "I knew I loved you, before I met you…"

2 "Eriol!"

Eriol turned and saw Kyle beckoning to him.

"Sorry Tomoyo. I promise that I'll dance with you when they play the next slow song."

Tomoyo smiled and nodded, as Eriol led her through the crowd and towards his friend.

"Hey there gorgeous. I hope you won't mind if I borrow this guy here."

Tomoyo shook her head and laughed.

Kyle led Eriol away from Tomoyo, but at a distance in which she was clearly visible.

"Yo, man. Check this out."

Kyle pointed at Tomoyo's direction. There, a blonde girl was handing Tomoyo a drink, and Tomoyo kindly accepted it.

Eriol lifted his eyebrow.

"Kyle--"

"Shh! Look! Look!"

Tomoyo put the cup to her lips and began to drink.

Eriol paled. Everything made sense. His friends wanted him to ask Tomoyo to the prom so they could pull a prank on her.

There was a loud scream and glass shattering on the floor.

Then laughter.

"What just happened?" Eriol demanded.

Kyle laughed and patted Eriol on the back.

"Score! We put a dead spider in her drink! Yeah baby!"

Eriol didn't know what to do. Tomoyo was standing in the middle of the crowd, her gown wet from dropping the glass cup, eyes shaky, looking for someone. Finally, they locked with his. Droplets silently streaming from her eyes, her lips forming the word "Why?". Then she burst into tears and ran out, with the crowd of people still laughing, and Eriol, motionless, staring after her.
