Chapter 3: Between Classes
"Hey Killer Dancer!"
"Hello KD-san!"
Those were the lines that sounded and resounded in Tomoyo's ears whenever she walked down the hallway of Tomoeda High. It turned out that more people knew about the toe incident than she thought. And Eriol starting off the year by naming Tomoyo KD didn't help either. Now everyone in the school dubbed her 'Killer Dancer', and even people Tomoyo had never met were calling her by the nickname. Some were even lucky enough to be told the origin of the nickname by speculators from last year's dance.
"Wow Tomoyo-san, you must be a really great dancer! EVERYONE knows you." Leiko Takamura, a new student, said wondrously to Tomoyo.
"Huh? Oh no, not at all. I'm just your average person." Tomoyo replied modestly as she walked with Leiko and the gang to 4th period.
Leiko Takamura was an exchange student at Tomoeda High (new as in new people new, not the first-day-of-school-but-I-already-know-everyone new). Tomoyo and the gang were chosen to introduce her to her new school. So far, most of what Leiko was getting was Tomoyo's new nickname.
"Really? Then why does everyone call you KD?" Leiko asked, puzzled.
"Eriol-kun started it. He called her that first and suddenly everyone is doing it too." Sakura, who was informed about the Eriol-Tomoyo encounter, cut in.
"Eriol-kun? You mean Hiiragizawa-kun?! That hottie??!" Leiko asked excitedly.
"Hottie? Hiiragizawa-kun is NOT hot; he's cruel." Tomoyo contradicted, referring to Eriol's teasing and what he did to Sakura a few years back.
"Well, he was nice enough to introduce himself to me." Leiko defended.
"Hmm, what did he say?" Sakura asked.
"It was funny, when I walked into first period I saw you guys and saw him, and I thought to myself that he was pretty good looking and that it would be nice to meet him. Then after first period he actually came up to me and introduced himself." Leiko recalled.
That's probably because he saw that you were interested in him and he couldn't resist the chance to flirt with anyone. Tomoyo thought to herself sardonically.
"Your first day of school and you already know Eriol-kun? That's fast. Be careful, you might just end up as his girlfriend by the end of the year." Sakura teased.
Leiko didn't say anything, but a slight blush stained her cheeks.
Tomoyo cringed. She knew where THAT might go if Leiko wasn't careful. Imagine getting with Hiiragizawa-kun. Actually, before even the toe incident, Tomoyo and Eriol had some history together. Once during a party early in seventh grade, a dare was made that Tomoyo and Eriol get together for one day. She would never admit it to anyone, but Tomoyo actually had a lot of fun with Eriol that day. And they ended the day with a kiss. Tomoyo supposed that they were just caught up in a moment. Either way, the kiss wasn't a messy one where the kissers bumped noses, it actually went smoothly. Tomoyo remembered Eriol's lips being feathery soft, but that was something she kept all to herself; not even Sakura knew about it. Neither Tomoyo nor Eriol ever mentioned that little incident ever again, but neither ever forgot it.
After the little dare, everyone seemed to agree that they were the perfect couple. Supposedly, they were 'compatible in every aspect'; their mischievous personalities, their kindness and selflessness, and their own little dark streaks. But so far, Tomoyo and Eriol just remained friends.
Nothing was said after Sakura's comment, which gave Tomoyo the silence to think. All the thoughts about Eriol got Tomoyo wondering where the creator of her new nickname currently was. With all his collected knowledge of two lifetimes, Eriol was at a higher level in everything; math, English, and science. So the only class that Tomoyo had with Eriol was first period, their homeroom class. Afterwards, they both went their separate ways. As far as Tomoyo knew, she didn't have any other classes with him.
Glancing at her new schedule, Tomoyo saw that she had ballroom dancing next. She smiled. That should be fun. It'll be my chance to prove to the school that I'm not as clumsy as they think. She thought to herself. She found out earlier that a lot of her old classmates from eighth grade were also signed up for the class. Tomoyo could already see Sakura dancing with Syaoran and Chiharu waltzing with Yamazaki. Eagerly, she lead the group to the gym for the first day of their ballroom dancing lesson.
