Recap
Now that she wrote that revealing letter, Tomoyo couldn't figure out if she should send it or not. The arrow of the mouse kept moving over the Send button or the Cancel button. Before she could think of it, she clicked Send.
"Oops," she said quietly, but deep down, she was relieved that she sent it.
Chapter 4
"Good morning Tomoyo," Eriol said as she opened the door.
"Eriol," she said groggily, "What are you doing here?" she yawned, "It's early, and a Saturday. I need my cartoons."
He chuckled lightly, "I know. I wanted to come see you. You can run in to watch your cartoons and run out on the commercials."
Tomoyo smiled, "Fine, fine. Be back in fifteen minutes."
This happened for about two hours. Eriol was getting really good at skate boarding by now. He was gaining a small crowd of little kids. They all cheered him on. It was cute. The only down side of everything was that he was getting just a bit sweaty, but that was quite alright too because he's Eriol; he looks good anyway.
"All done!" Tomoyo said with a broad smile on her face. "So what are you doing here?"
"I just got back from the record store and your house is on my way home so I thought I would stop by." Tomoyo nodded at this; she understood.
"So what do you want to do today?" she asked.
"I don't know. Can you believe school is starting tommorrow?" she shook her head no. Then she started walking away. "Where are you going?" he called after her.
"To your house."
"Why? There's nothing to do there."
"But it's more fun than my house." Tomoyo immediately walked to Eriol's back yard and looked around the surroundings. "Look! You have more grass!" Eriol laughed lightly and nodded.
Tomoyo picked up a ball. "So you want to play basketball?" he looked at her skeptically. "One on one. I'll go easy on you."
"Don't go easy on me. I'll beat you. You suck at basketball!"
Tomoyo gasped and fake insulted, "Eriol! That's not a nice thing to say!" He only smiled sweetly to her.
They started a game they thought would soon end quickly, but they thought wrong.
"Eriol! You cheat!" Tomoyo said with teasing in her tone.
"Tomoyo," he said sarcastically, "I would never cheat to you!"
"Oh yes you did. You would hold up the ball really high. And since I am a good seven inches shorter than you, I can't reach it. Even when I jumped for it!"
"Well, Shorty, it's not my fault you don't grow."
"Wait, I have more." She paused slightly, " Or when I did take hold of the ball, you grab it out of my hands. You have a better grip on it than I do!" he laughed at her for this. "Or you tickle me when I won't give you the ball!"
He laughed some more, "It's also not my fault that you are the most ticklish person on earth."
She narrowed her eyes at him, "Yes it's your fault!" but she laughed after she said it.
"You know,"
She quickly interrupted him, "No I don't."
"Yes you do." He paused making sure she won't interrupt him again, "You know, you are not good at being evil."
She just gave him a big grin. "It's getting dark. I think I should be getting home. Walk me halfway?"
"Of course." They walked side by side, not saying anything but enjoying eachother's company. He did walk her halfway and when they got to the halfway point, she stopped.
"You don't have to walk with me any further."
"Tomoyo, it's ok."
"But we said halfway."
"But it's ok."
"Eriol, it's OK! Give me a call later tonight ok?"
"Sounds good." They hugged each other and set off their own ways.
Tomoyo almost fell asleep when she was done eating her dinner of pork chops and rice, but she was soon jerked awake when the phone rang.
"Hello?" she said lightly.
"Tomoyo you are tired aren't you." Eriol could hear a little grunt on the other side. "Well I wanted to call you about school." No answer. "You are going to be a sophomores and I'm going to be a junior."
"You don't need to rub it in," she said, with her teasing tone, "I couldn't help being born five months after you." This always made Eriol laugh.
"Well do you want me to wait for you in the morning?"
She thought this over and said, "Yes." After a moment's pause she added, "Eriol, promise you won't ever leave me? Like you have to stay in this school with me 'till I graduate."
"I promise I won't ditch you."
"No matter what ok?" anxiety coming through her soft voice.
"Ok. Promise."
"Eriol, I'm going to bed. I'm so tired."
"Ok, good night Tomoyo."
"Night," and she clicked the phone off. She smiled when she thought of Eriol never leaving her. It reassured her that she can get through high school. She was beginning to like him more than ever. I can like him, right? I mean it wouldn't hurt to like someone. She smiled, and Eriol is that perfect someone. I hope he still likes me.
