Recap
"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.
Chapter 5
Tomoyo lay still in bed again. She was nervous about sophomore year. She didn't know what was going to happen. Must I go to school tomorrow? I don't want to go. but then she smiled, I will have Eriol to protect me though. Then she thought about it some more. Why does school have to start on a Thursday? What is up with that?
When Tomoyo woke up, the sun was shining brightly. She put on a sweet lavender shirt and a pair of hip hugger jeans. Her purple backpack was really heavy when she lifted it onto her shoulders. Tomoyo got a ride with a neighbor to the big high school.
She walked down the stairs to where Eriol said his locker was. He wasn't there. Maybe I missed him, she thought so she didn't stop walking. I don't like this school. It's so small, but so hard to find people in it. But as soon as she reached another flight of stairs, she saw him walk down.
"You are late." she stated.
"No I'm not. You are early." With that Tomoyo turned around and walked with him back to his locker. She was going to tell him something but as soon as she opened her mouth, the bell rang.
"Well, I better get to class then. Musn't be late on the first day."
"Miss Tomoyo is such a good girl." Eriol said, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Tomoyo just laughed at him. "I'll see you after school."
School is always boring on the first day. They don't really do anything, but listen to the teachers state the rules for the millionth time and play the name game a couple of times.
Tomoyo walked home and as soon as she got there, the phone rang. She didn't even have time to kick off her shoes or take her back pack off. She raced for the phone, hoping the caller isn't going to hang up yet.
"Hello?" she said a bit huffily into the phone.
"Tomoyo?"
"Eriol, jeez, that was quick. I just got home. How can you get home so fast?"
"I got a ride."
"Well you should have offered me one."
"I forgot."
"That wasn't too nice of you." There was the sarcasm from Tomoyo now.
"Well, I'm sorry. Do you mind if I come over?"
"Not at all. The Sonic by our house is open. If you wanna go get a shake, bring some money."
"Sure, I'll be right there."
Tomoyo waited outside for him. She didn't want him knocking on her door and disturbing her mother. She looked around and couldn't find him. But Eriol was being a bit slow so she walked to the corner and there he was. He was huffing because there was a small hill on the way to Tomoyo's house.
"I'd think you'd be use to that hill by now. Since you come here ever day and all." Tomoyo said, teasing him with a light giggle.
"Yeah well..."
"Do you have money?" She paused and he nodded, catching his breath. "Let's go. I want to see what kind of food they have there."
"My parents drove through there last night. It's cool. I like what I got." They started walking down the block. Tomoyo got onto Eriol's skateboard and held onto his arm. He pulled her along. All she had to do was keep her balance.
They went to the center where people who didn't drive there can actually sit and order. Sonic was designed in a way that people drive in and park and people in roller skates come and give them their order.
Tomoyo got a citrus like drink called a strawberry lime-ade and Eriol got a strawberry milkshake. They basked in the afternoon light, but as soon as it was beginning to get dark, they headed home.
"I liked that place. It's pretty cheap." Tomoyo commented.
"Yeah. How about we come back here tomorrow?"
"Sure. Sounds like a good idea."
When Tomoyo got home she sighed. Today was good for her, except the fact that school was unbelievable boring. Tomoyo was happy with how things are going between her and Eriol. If she couldn't have him as a boyfriend, then best friends is good.
Tomoyo sat down on her bed and started on reading a novel. Homework on the first day of school, she thought a bit sadly. I don't want to do it. I'm too lazy to. She got up and the computer caught her eye. She smiled mischievously. Maybe I can pass off doing my homework on the computer. She thought some more, I haven't checked my mail in a while any ways, mustn't let it over flow with letters. But she knew she barely received any letters. It was all junk mail. She signed on anyway.
You got mail. it said, and she did; junk and porn crap. She sifted through the spam and found a letter from Eriol. Dating back to today. Hm... she thought, this is quite interesting. I just saw him. I wonder what he wrote. She opened his letter and she read it quickly. It just said he wished her luck on her first day of school. Smiled at the thought that he would care enough to send her such a letter. She clicked Reply and wrote him back.
Eriol-
Now it's my turn to not know why I am writing this letter. I want to know if you still like me? Even as much as you know me and my weirdness, do you still like me? I think I still like you. I have liked you for a long time. If you don't like me, then that's ok too. I can handle it. Well anyways, apart from that crazy part. Do you want to go to the movies tomorrow? Maybe there will be no homework and we can catch a late flick. It is Friday tomorrow you know.
Write me back.
Tomoyo
Tomoyo quickly clicked the Send button before she could reconsider not sending it. A few minutes of reading the various other mail she had, she received another letter from Eriol. He must be on right now too, she thought. She quickly opened it to see what he has written. The page loaded and the letter appeared on to the screen...
Joanni: Whooo SNOW DAY!!!! I'm happy (^_^) but er... I wrote chapter 4 because I didn't want the world to just end after all the drama. I wanted to show that Eriol's and Tomoyo's friendship was really strong. If that was what you were wondering. Um... Sonic is a local fast food restaurant. It's filled with lots of drinks and burgers and all that. It's designed in a way that... people drive in and park and people in roller skates come and give them their order. Oh, sorry I just ended it there. I'll get back to it soon. Please Read and Review. THANKS REVIEWS!!!
