***CHAPTER 2- An Interesting Encounter***
As Tomoyo hung up the phone, a feeling of regret hung over her head. Oh I wish I didnt turn down that invitation. I should've said yes, so I could've seen Syaoran....NO! I mustn't think about him anymore! Tomoyo shook her head to get rid of the thoughts and walked around her room to distract herself. I know, I'll go for a walk. That'll give me something to do for now.
She opened her window to see if it was hot enough to wear a shirt. She caught a whiff of the breeze and shivered. She took out a light jean jacket, just in case. She went downstairs and quickly jotted down a note for her mother, explaining where she was going.
She stepped out the door and started walking, until she reached her planned destination. It was a clear lake with the night sky and fluorescent moon reflecting in the water. She sat down at a bench, closed her eyes and inhaled the cool, crisp, autumn air.
"Beautiful place ne?" said a deep, soothing voice from beside her.
Tomoyo opened her eyes and found herself staring into fascinating, [[enter color of Eriol's eyes here]] orbs. Wow, what nice eyes this boy has...
She was so surprised that she jumped back and fell off the bench. (^_^;;)
"Itai....gomen nasai...." she replied.
The boy extended a hand to help her up. "Daijoubu desu ka?" As Tomoyo stood up, she replied, "Arigatou gozaimasu." She then bowed and apologized again.
In response, the boy replied, "Nande? You dont have anything to apologize for. I'm sorry I scared you. My name is Hirigiizawa Eriol. You can call me Eriol. I'm new in town and I was walking around until I came to this place. I saw you sitting on this bench and thought I'd introduce myself when I noticed youur eyes were closed. I thought I'd say something about this clearing."
Tomoyo gazed at him and thought, He doesn't look like someone who would hurt me. He could be telling the truth. Eriol smiled at her, waiting for an answer. What should I say? OH! Duh! I should probably introduce myself!
She bowed and replied, "I'm Daijoui Tomoyo. You may call me Tomoyo- chan.....Yes, this is a beautiful place indeed. I come here every time I need a break from reality." She stared at the lake for a few moments and then glanced at her watch. "Ohmygoodness! It's almost 9:30! I didn't realize how much time I spent here! I have to be getting home!"
Eriol held out his arm and said, "Well the least I can do is walk you home."
Tomoyo smiled. "Are you sure? I mean, don't you have to be getting home too?"
Eriol smiled back. "I'm sure your place is on the way to my house. It's fine, I don't mind."
Tomoyo took his arm and they both started walking. When they arrived at her house, Eriol exclaimed, "Wow! I didn't know an exquisite girl like you could live right next door to me!" Tomoyo laughed. "Well, Arigatou gozaimasu for walking me home. It was nice meeting you."
Eriol replied, "The pleasure was all mine. Oyasuminasai."
"Oyasuminasai. Matashta!" With that, she waved and watched him as he disappeared into his house.
