"What do you mean so what should I do? Tomoyo you have to do this, it's like a once in a lifetime opportunity!" Sakura told me. She was right.
"You have a great voice Tomoyo, others should be able to hear it too," Rika added. I saw Syaoran whisper something into Eriol's ear. I heard 'pop star' and 'friend'.
"Come on, go for it. You'll probably never get another chance like this," Chiharu said.
I smiled, "Are you all behind me 100% on this?" I asked them, my friends not really Syaoran and Eriol. But they all nodded.
"Then I guess I'm calling Maleron-san tomorrow morning," I said happily.
My friends grabbed me into a huge hug. Things were really changing for the better. Later my friends and me carried all my gifts to my bodyguards. I waved at them, rolling down the tinted window; they all smiled and shouted good-bye. I saw Eriol standing behind them I waved at him. He smiled, but somehow it didn't feel real.
I slumped onto my bed thinking happy things. I was going to be a pop star, me. My voice would be heard worldwide. Too bad my mother couldn't see this. It's too bad she had to leave.
*Flashback*
I remember it like it was yesterday. My mother's body lying in the mahogany coffin. Her face cold and pale. I was only seven and I didn't understand.
"Auntie, why is mommy in a box?"
My aunt was crying, "Tomoyo, dear your mother is gone," she replied.
"What do you mean? She's right there," I said pointing to the coffin.
My aunt burst into even more tears. She pulled me into a hug and whispered into my ear, "Tomoyo your mother died."
I didn't understand what death was; I didn't know what they were talking about. I didn't know why everyone was crying. But I do now and it pains me to think why I couldn't understand such an important situation.
End Flashback
My mother had given me her fortune, my relatives got anything else. My aunt was my guardian until she thought I could handle myself. So she left. But now I'm leaving all this.
I fell asleep with wonderful thoughts.
The next morning, as soon as I got up I went over to the phone and called Maleron-san's number.
"Moshi, moshi, Erika Maleron's office, how can I help you?"
"Ummm, this is Tomoyo Daidouji. Maleron-san told me to call her," I said.
"Ah yes the new singer, I'll connect you right now." I heard a click and then music.
"Hello?"
"Hello! Maleron-san?"
"Yes, this is Tomoyo right?"
"Yes."
"So what's your decision?"
"I've decided to accept your offer."
"That's great, please come 3:00 this afternoon so we can sign some papers."
"Okay, see you then bye."
"Good-bye." And that's when I hung up. There wasn't much to do so I decided to take a stroll in the park.
I couldn't help but think of Eriol as I entered the outside world. I hadn't noticed this until now but I had this feeling that my love for him was fading away. He just doesn't seem real, his personality I mean. He could be ignoring me one minute, and then trying to kiss me the next. Things just weren't that clear anymore.
I looked up at the cloudless sky and thought even more. Was my love for him just an infatuation? If it was then I was even more pathetic then I thought. But the thing was, Eriol was so much sweeter to me before we entered high school. Everyone changed, even me. High school is where my geekiness had started.
I looked off to a small field next to the sidewalk. Two boy and two girls were playing happily together. It almost reminded me of Sakura when we were young. So carefree, now she's serious with only a little cheerfulness.
Syaoran hardly ever talks to me now, I don't even think he ever liked me. But that was then, this was now. And now things were different. I walked out of the park and into the streets. As long as I was out I should just walk to Maleron-san's office.
If only things could go back to they were a few years ago.
An hour later I found myself sitting in Maleron's office.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity Maleron-san," I said bowing.
"Please take a seat." I sat down in one of the leather chairs.
"You can call me Erika you know. We're going to be working with each for a long time," Erika said smiling at me, I smiled back.
"Okay now on to business," Erika said digging through her desk. She pulled out a thick contract. She handed me a pen.
"So you are sure you want to do this?" Erika asked as I took the pen.
"Yes," I said. Erika opened the contract to the first page.
"Sign here," she said pointing to a line.
"And here," she said turning the page.
Fifteen minutes later I was done. "Okay Tomoyo, we'll be leaving for Tokyo in two weeks, and that's when your new life will begin," Erika said. I nodded and walked out of her office, and out of the building.
When I was outside I took a deep breath of the fresh air. My new life. The life of being rich and famous. Things couldn't get much better. I had to call Sakura and tell her. I ran all the way back home.
(A/N: Wow she's a great runner.)
"Moshi, moshi, Kinomoto residence."
"Sakura! I did it! I'm going to be famous!" I said into the phone.
"That's great Tomoyo! I'm so happy for you!"
"I'm leaving for Tokyo in two weeks though, do you want to come?" I asked, I did not want to go all by myself.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo, but my uncles wedding is in two weeks and I can't miss it."
"Oh."
"I hope it's okay."
"It's fine. Don't beat yourself up about it."
"Okay, I have to go now. Touya needs the phone, bye."
"Bye."
Over the next two weeks me Sakura, Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko spent every minute we could with each other. But things went so fast the day for me to leave came.
I was crying. "Bye you guys I'll miss you a lot."
"We'll miss you too," Sakura said smiling through tears.
"Remember to write everyday. And if not that call or e-mail," Chiharu added.
"Of course," I said.
"Flight 685 for Tokyo is now boarding."
"I've got to go. I would like you to know that you guys are the best friends I've ever had," I said.
"Don't mention it," Naoko said. I smiled and pulled them into a hug. After that I ran over to Erika, who was waiting for me, and we gave our tickets to the attendant. Before I got into the tube thing I took a last look at my friends. The all smiled and waved. My eyesight was blurry because of the tears but I managed to wave back.
"Come on Tomoyo, we don't want to miss our flight," I heard Erika say.
"Coming!" I said following her.
As the plane started to fly I took a look at Tomoeda for I knew it would be a long time before I'd see it again.
A/N: Okay now that that's done you have to do your job. So REVIEW REVIEW AND REVIEW!
