p.a- Hi Everyone!! I'm back tries to dodges all those rotten tomatoes. Erm, sorry for not updating. The teachers were trying to kill us with assignments and tests. So I was doing my year 10 maths test, I turn to the first page, get paper-cut. --;; well I failed that test for sure. So, after I handed in all my assignments, the teacher thought they'll give us a little holiday course. That would be fun if 6 teachers didn't give it to us at the same time being it due in the same week and having my net due in two days time I'll have to finish them all today since I'll be going to the arcade for half a day tomorrow and then go Green Box for the rest of the day. What a great day to spend time, ne? Ok, um.. I should stop talking about my life now, enjoy!

Ever faithful reviewers: B0nB0nCaTz:- I'm so sorry for making you wait this long. Here's the next chapter.

Carmen5:- Sorry for making you wait. Here's chapter 4.

not applicable:- Thanks for reading. I know how depressing it is to lie just to fit in. Well, hope you will read this chapter.

kate:- Ignore me. I'm just in an insane state right now, but thanks for reading anyways.

RanchanFan:- ehe, sorry about bragging. I've got this problem. I start talking I never stop. You should see my journal. I go from talking about my day, to how much life sucks, then to how much I luv candy then to some stuff I remember happening to me when I was four. Well, thanks sooo much for reading.

Aerysa:- I know, I can't possibly imagine Tomoyo like that too. It's just that I was really bored and the Peach Girl thing just got stuck in my head. I know this girl that has a personality just like Sae. If you're more popular than her she'll find every possible way to bring you DOWN!! She'll pretend to be your friend and then tell the whole world your secret. And there's this girl in my class. She just got a new haircut, and it reminds me of Sae so much. She actually looks like Sae too! Ok, erm.. Enough yapping, hope you enjoy this chapter.

ms.evil:- Sorry for it being short. I couldn't even remember what I wrote in the previous chapter. sigh. Well, I based Tomoyo's personality on some girls in my school and some in my friends school. Yea ;; Thanks for reviewing anyway, I haven't checked out your stories for a while. Have you updated any? Ah well, I'll go check after I finish typing this chapter.

Sweet-Innocence:- Erm.. the voice just belongs to the cracking maniac land lord who owns the apartment (it's not a spoiler dun worry. Knowing who the voice belongs to now won't affect the story). Yea ;; Erm.. Don't worry about the DDR thing. I'm a big DDR and Rhythm action game fan (well I'm a big video game fan) so I can't really imagine Tomoyo playing Initial D or Time Crisis II or III. I used DDR probably because I've never played Para Para Paradise before (stupid arcade took it away when I went). Erm.. ok I'd better stop about Video Games before I start talking about RPG and start complaining about how Galaxy world should put PPP. Well hope you enjoy this chapter.

Magical Rainflier:- Yea Tomoyo's gonna start to change in this chappy and probably will be completely back to normal in the next and that's where our last complication starts.

musical-sakura:- I don't think I've read any of your stories, but if there's an E+T fic or one of your stories contain E+T (a little bit more that minor minor), let me know and I'll read it for sure.

Dedication: I decided to dedicate this entire story to all you great reviewers! Thank you soo much for waiting patiently to read the next chapter and yes, I have gotten your emails, but terribly sorry I wasn't able to update this sooner. Oh yea and to Mysterio000, wish you the best of luck in your exam!!

Friends are to die for

Commencement

Version 1.5 by black shinigami

Tomoyo walked along the pavement thinking of her formal which was held tonight.

Bang! She had accidentally bumped into someone.

"Get lost bitch!" Tomoyo screamed as she pushed a 1st grader to the ground. The first grader, whom was named Miwa Osenaku, started to wail loudly as everyone else passed by, was ignoring the scene. Tomoyo being the popular girl at Seijuu High and also head girl, she had even more power than teachers do. There was nothing they could do.

Tomoyo dusted her clothes, and walked off to her next class, flicking her hair and winking at all the other boys passing by.

Not very far away, Eriol watched in silence.

Tomoyo stood there in irritation. She was the most popular girl at school and yet, no guy has asked her to dance yet. What's even worse was that her eye balls were always turning towards the 'couple'. Just rub it in my face why don't you.

"Ahem, er.. Tomoyo?" a guy walked up to her.

Erick Hito

Age 19

3rd grader

Likes the colour green

Hates doing house chores

Fair grades

Family consists of 2 brothers and 1 sister.

Tomoyo scanned in her brain. "Yes?" she asked politely, while plastering an innocent smile on her face.

"Uh.. Tomoyo.. er.. can I ask you something?" Erick stuttered nervously.

"Sure" Tomoyo replied keeping her false smile on her delicate face.

"Uh.. Tomoyo.. uh.. C-C-can you move slightly a bit. You're blocking the drink table. I need to fetch a drink for my girlfriend." Erick blushed. It was very embarrassing to ask the most pop girl in school to move somewhere else because he needs to fetch a drink for his girlfriend. Of course she told him not to go over there and ask her incase Tomoyo would blow, but being the special guy he is, Erick insisted to go over and get her a drink. Aaah, men these days, you just can't do without them…(--;; don't ask)

Tomoyo was about to burst into steam. Which idiot, at a formal would go up to the most popular girl in school asking if she could move so he would be able to get a drink for his girlfriend?? It was almost illegal to do so!

"Sure" Tomoyo replied through gritted teeth while her ever faithful false smile remained plastered on her face.

"Um.. Can everyone please stand quietly and let me announce the best dancers of the night. I know there's still 2 hours left to go but I need to er.. go somewhere so I'll just announce the winners now" The 3rd grade co-ordinator announced.

"So the best male dancer award goes to…Eriol Hiiragizawa"

The crowd clapped as Eriol went up to get his prize money.

"And the best female dancer is…yes you guessed it.. Misaki Uresawa"

Everyone was appalled when Misaki's name was announced. Tomoyo ran out the door..

Tomoyo cried and tried to wipe off her tears, but they just kept prickling down. Then someone handed her a handkerchief.

"What's wrong Tomoyo?" Misaki asked as she sat down beside the weeping.. er.. crying Tomoyo.

"What's wrong!? What's wrong?! WHAT'S WRONG?! You ask me WHAT'S WRONG?!" Tomoyo raged, her bloodshot eyes deathly glaring at Misaki.

"C'mon Tomoyo. If you don't tell me, how am I meant to help you?" Misaki asked.

Tomoyo was about to blow. She just faced the biggest embarrassment of her life and here is her enemy asking her what is wrong. IS SHE NUTS!?

"Well, first of all, my best friend had a crush on you and you STOLE him away, secondly, you won the prize money which I needed to pay rent and thirdly you ask me WHAT'S WRONG?!" Tomoyo started to count down from 10 to 1.

Misaki giggled. "Well, thirdly, I'm asking you what's wrong because I think of you as a friend and you are welcome to stay at my house anytime you want."

"Yea whatever" Tomoyo replied.

"Secondly.. Er.. Well.. I kinda cheated. You see, I caught our co-ordinator and my sport science teacher kissing. Yea, so they offered me one favour if I don't tell anyone" Misaki sweat dropped.

"YOU WHAT!! H-how could you?" Tomoyo out-raged. Cheating was the least expected thing someone like Misaki would do.

"Ehe, ;; well I didn't want you to turn out like those bitches Tomoyo. We really miss the old Tomoyo you know. We all looked up to you back in the orphanage."

"Yea what ever"

"Oh yea and first of all, Eriol never liked me. I was the one who liked him"

Flashback

"Eriol-kun. I- I like you a lot. You don't have to like me back, but I hope we still can be friends." Misaki lowered her head.

Eriol smiled as he stepped towards her and lifted her chin. "It's ok. I'm sorry I can't return your love, but we still can be friends."

End Flashback

"Y-You mean, Eriol never liked you? But that's impossible. He's always telling me how perfect you are?" Tomoyo's eyes bulged out.

"No, silly. Eriol's like an older brother to me. C'mon Tomoyo, I don't think by the end of today you would be any popular, why don't you change back to the way you are? We all really miss you. Don't you miss us? Don't you like the way you were? Well, you weren't popular, but people gave you respect, we all looked up to you. Don't you want to be like your old self again?" Misaki queried.

"I-I-"

HONK! Eriol's car stopped by. "Oh hey, here's Eriol with his car. You want a ride home Tomoyo-chan?" Misaki lightened up. s.

Tomoyo smiled. "No thanks Mi-chan. I'll walk home, but I'll have a think about what you told me and I'll give you a reply A.S.A.P"

"Great! Well, good night Tomoyo-chan. See you at school on Monday!" Misaki waved as she closed the car door.

Tomoyo smiled a true genuine smile as she walked home. Maybe being herself wouldn't be that bad at all. Who knows, maybe people will actually accept her the way she was, and maybe this time, she will truly have friends…

tzuku..

p.a- I'm so sorry this is short. I was gonna make it longer if: 1. I need more sugar

2. These girls in my class aren't bugging me to scan something for them.

3. I need to start and finish my HSIE assignment due next week and my net is due tomorrow, but I'm going arcade tomorrow. I only proof read this once so please forgive me. Anyways, luv yous all. Once I get my net back I will be FOR SURE updating the next chappy. I think I only have about 2 or 3 more chapters to go till I finish this story, which is a good thing because I've got inspiration to continue my other ones.
