~~Chapter 03~~

|| Searching ||

'I got a job.I already enrolled in the high school and would most likely start tomorrow morning.now all I need is a place to stay.sigh.but where?' Tomoyo thought to herself.

'I guess I gotta wonder around town again like I did this morning. Everything seemed to have worked out perfectly, maybe things will work out like it did before.'

'Mother.are you helping me through all of this? You said you will look out for me.thank you.for all you've done.I really appreciate your thoughtfulness mother...'

Luckily enough as she had hoped, Tomoyo had found a one-bedroom apartment at just the right price.

That night, Tomoyo folded all her clothes and laid them across the floor near the bed. (If you forgot already, she doesn't have any furniture so her bed is more like a blanket and a pillow, Japanese style.) But before going to sleep she set her clock an hour before she was suppose to wake up so she could at least make a good first impression the next morning.

|| The Next Day ||

** B-b-bring!! B-b-bring!! **

"What? Huh? 5 more minutes please mom?" Tomoyo said drowsily.

Upon thinking about her mother.Tomoyo woke up immediately realizing what she had just said.

'I miss you already mom.'

Tomoyo got up and picked out an outfit.something causal.yet appropriate for school. There aren't any dress codes because the principle had confirmed that yesterday afternoon when she had asked.

In about 10 minutes, she had gotten dressed. Tomoyo was wearing white gym shoes, khaki pants that hung loosely on her hip, a white T-shirt with a navy flannel, and a black cap.

Tomoyo never thought about cutting her hair because that was the one trait that reminded her of her mother. Sonomi had never cut Tomoyo's hair because she had liked it long.

Teiraku (I'll use that name whenever she's not in her apartment or whenever she's alone) looked at her clock again to see what time it was.

'Hmm.6:30.I still got a bit till school starts. Might as well get an early start, it's better early than late.' Teiraku thought before picking up her things and walked out the door.

Teiraku walked out into the brisk morning air and inhale the fresh spring air deeply. Taking her time, she walked to school.just enjoying the morning air and the new day ahead.

Arriving at school, she entered the building and walked towards the main office as directed from yesterday. There she was suppose to wait until her teacher would come and lead her to her first class and give her the classes she will be taking for this semester.

** B-bring!! B-bring! **

"Class! Class!" clapped the teacher to get the students attention.

"Today we have a new student transferring from I believe Japan. Please do come in Mr. Daidouji."

In walked a male with a black cap and loosely fitted clothes looking calm and cool and he stride into the classroom.

"Please tell us a little about yourself Mr. Daidouji."

"My full name's Teiraku Daidouji. I had lived in Japan all my life and had moved here very recently. I hope to became well acquainted with everybody," spoke Teiraku eloquently.

"Thank you Mr. Daidouji. Please take a seat aside Mr. Hiiragizawa," the teacher said pointing towards the young boy she had met yesterday who had interviewed her.

Teiraku walked nervously towards Hiiragizawa without showing any emotion on the outside but deep down she was trembling. While she was walking down the aisle, most of the girls stared at her with hearts in their eyes, along with some whistles. Teiraku didn't notice that because of Hiiragizawa sitting right next to her, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable even though he wasn't looking at her through the whole time she stood at the front of the class. He was so into his work to have notice anything. (He's a workaholic.)

Class began.

Teiraku was happy she was placed right beside the window in the back row of the classroom. Her mind drifted off into space every now and then. She kept looking out into the sky outside and imagines just being out there.but soon took that back because she remembered she had to go to work right after that.

|| Lunch ||

Teiraku walked to the lunch line and got what she wanted and paid the price for it. She was so happy to have a choice of eating outside or inside, most likely she went out. Tomoyo hated being cooped up in some place for more than 15 minutes, she couldn't stand that.

Tomoyo looked around the courtyard and quickly found a nice shady place under an oak tree. (Are there any oak trees in England at are? I don't know.couldn't think of anything. Oh.I know I keep switching between Tomoyo and Teiraku.-_-)

Setting her food down gently, Tomoyo sat down against the cool tree bark and totally forgot about her lunch. Tomoyo sat there and just let the cool air play with her fair skin.

Hiiragizawa sat on the opposite side of the tree but the two teens didn't realize that. He was so engross in the book that he held in his hand while Tomoyo was leaning against the tree just inhaling the sweet afternoon air and merely relaxing.

Hiiragizawa, while holding the book in his right hand and reading it, moved his left hand towards the plate of food and picked up an apple.

Tomoyo looked down at her plate to eat her fruit until she realize it wasn't there anymore.

"Hey! What happen to my food?" she asked herself but loud enough for Hiiragizawa to have heard her.

"Mmm?" Hiiragizawa said without much interest.

"Hey! You took my lunch!" yelled a flustered Teiraku.

"It's just an apple jeez," he replied emotionless

"I don't care! You ate my lunch you gotta repay it!"

"It's just a damn apple!"

"It doesn't matter! It was mine to begin with!"

Now the two were beginning to cause a scene so before it got worse Hiiragizawa gave Tomoyo money for the apple. He hated the attention so much. (Especially since he's so good lucking and practically the whole female population in the school runs after him.)

That didn't solve it like how he wanted it, instead made things worse.

"What the hell is that for?" yelled a furious Tomoyo now. (She took his offer the wrong way.)

"You said you wanted me to repay you well here's the money for another apple," he replied calmly.

"I don't want your money! It's the principles! God! You're not gonna get so why explain! UGH!" Teiraku marched off steaming.

'Just great.now I gotta face the whole day with HIM in my face.and I gotta DEAL with it since he's going to be my boss also!! ARGH!!'

|| School's Out ||

'FINALLY!! I cant BEAR to be in that school much longer!!' thought Tomoyo.

'Might as well head for the closest gym.I gotta practice my fighting skills before I forget them.' (She picked up her fighting skills from Syaoran who had taught her because in Japan he was worry that he couldn't always be there to protect he when she needed so he taught her how to defend herself from perverted people or harassing boys because of her beauty.)

Tomoyo had searched for the gym last night after she had settled in her new home. Luckily for her, the gym was no more than a block away from her apartment. She went straight home and threw all her things onto the floor and left the apartment. (Not very Tomoyo-like is it? Since she's all neat and such.)

|| The Gym ||

Inside, Teiraku took off her flannel, shoes and placed them onto the closest bench she could find and started beating the punching sac mercilessly.

Teiraku, after an hour or so decided for a little rest stop and sat on her bench and watched the other lift weights, etc.

Her eyes travel around the room until it landed on one particular person.

'This is JUST my day isn't it? Everywhere I do there he is! Even to the place where I thought I wouldn't SEE him! And to my surprise, there he would be!' Tomoyo groaned inwardly and traveled her eyes elsewhere besides in Hiiragizawa's direction.
