Tomoyo woke up in about mid-afternoon. Only after looking at the black roman numerals on her clock had she realized she missed her morning classes. Grumbling, she threw the white covers off her body and treaded towards the bathroom.
Staring back at the pale face in the mirror Tomoyo noticed what were the beginnings of dark circles under her eyes. Sighing she splashed cold water on her face. What did she really expect after a whole night of thinking while listening to the music videos on TV?
Pushing every other thought out of her brain the same thing she had spent all last night thinking about popped back.
Shouldn't she be hating Eriol right now?
Exactly, she should be HATING him right now. Loathing his very existence and the air he breathes.
But she didn't hate him. She couldn't find the slightest trace of even disliking him. Maybe that wasn't the right way to put it. Eriol was annoying, yes, but he didn't annoy her to death like most guys.
And that annoyed her.
She'd rather be annoyed by him, then be annoyed by him because he wasn't as annoying as others.
Tomoyo sighed as she pulled out her tooth brush. That didn't even make sense. Now her brain wasn't working right anymore, things were just perfect.
And to think that if his friend had better aim they would've never met.
Right after rinsing, her kitchen phone rang. Walking a it slowly, she headed towards the room. Tomoyo waited until it rang again before picking it up.
"Hello?"
"So?" A slightly 'too' cheerful voice asked.
"So, what?" Tomoyo rubbed her temples, hearing that merry voice wasn't exactly what she wanted to here right now.
"So how did last night go?"
She should've known this was coming. "Fine," Tomoyo replied flatly.
There was a pause, "Okay so what really happened?" Sakura asked, her tone lowering down to being a little more serious.
"Nothing, it was normal."
"That was pathetic. Even in this bad of a mood you should be able to come up with something better then THAT!"
Tomoyo frowned at her comment, "Now tell me what happened!" her friend demanded.
She explained what happened briefly, just the highlights of the night. There was another pause on the line, "So all you did was, walk to a dance club place, dance, and go home."
"Yes."
"You're still lying to me aren't you?"
"There are just some things I can't tell you okay?" 'You wouldn't understand anyway.'
"Well then that means you wouldn't mind going on a double date right?"
"I'm not even going to answer that."
"Oh please Tomoyo!" Sakura whined over the line.
Tomoyo winced, 'Please tell she is not going into one of those whining fits.' "It wouldn't hurt! Besides you've already gone on TWO dates with him without any problems!"
Amethyst eyes rolled towards the ceiling, 'If only you knew Sakura,' she thought as she tried to block out Sakura's protests to no avail.
"You know what!" she suddenly yelled.
Sakura silenced.
Tomoyo's eyes narrowed a centimeter for a second or two before she sighed. She could almost see Sakura's face. Her bottom lip was probably quivering, or her eyes wide with surprise at her outburst. Sakura's face could just be so innocent and priceless sometimes, it really got to her. Even when she couldn't actually see the real face, she'd seen enough to know. Her eyelids closed over her violet orbs and she sighed again.
"I'm sorry, I've just been really frustrated with finals coming up in a few weeks. I'll think about it okay?" Of course, she wasn't worried about finals and she WASN'T going to think about it.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Sakura asked her, "You've never really snapped at anyone like that before."
"Yeah, call you later." A small beep signified the end of the call.
Tomoyo set the phone back onto the receiver and returned to her room to get ready for what was left of the day. Sakura was starting to run her personal life now. And right next to men, the thought of someone else running her life also irritated her.
Twenty minutes later she was ready for the day.
~~~~~*~~~~~
It was a natural occurrence that Tomoyo was practically bored to death in her afternoon class, along with the rest of the students in the classroom. While the teacher was drawling on about who knows what while his class did their own thing. Like the girl sitting next to her was bopping her head to the music she was listening to and reading a magazine. Tomoyo was playing Snake on her cell phone.
The teachers never cared what they were doing as long as they weren't disturbing the class. The students paid to learn in this class, so it was their money and the teachers don't care. Because unlike elementary, middle, and high school college was optional.
Just as she was about to get another little star a message appeared on the screen.
"Hey Tomoyo" it said.
Tomoyo frowned slightly and typed back, "What".
After about a minute, "How about just u and me tonight? No guys".
She stared at the screen for a bit thinking; then, "Where we going?"
"It's a surprise"
Tomoyo's frown deepened slightly, "Surprise?"
"Yeah."
"Let me think about it."
"Fine, call me later."
"Bye."
"C-ya."
She returned to the game screen and continued playing. Sakura had something up her sleeve she knew it.
~~~~~*~~~~~
And she was right.
Sakura DID have something up her sleeve. The vibe started reacting once they stepped foot into the classy eatery. For one thing, Sakura would never make her get this dressed up for just them. For another, Eriol Hiiragizawa and some brown head were sitting at the table they were walking towards.
As soon as Tomoyo saw the pair she turned around rapidly and started walking the other way. Sakura noticed this and stuck her arm out and caught Tomoyo.
"Come on Tomoyo!" She said, trying to pull her friend back.
"I should've known something was up! I can't believe I forgot about that double date you asked about this morning!"
"Oh like you wouldn't have come anyway." A smirk.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Tomoyo cried.
"Just have some fun! Eat! Ignore them!"
"Fun? Fun!? You want me to have FUN with two GUYS sitting in front of my face?"
Sakura and Tomoyo continued their little struggle, "I think you're starting to get a little crazy about this."
Tomoyo stopped her resistance, "I think we're forgetting our places in the world here."
Sakura took the chance to spin Tomoyo around and start pushing her from behind.
"You will have fun and you will enjoy yourself. I'll make sure of it!"
The violet eyed medical student rolled her eyes, "Oh please."

Bob: Ms. Paranoid over here saw a spider, screamed, tripped, and fell on us.
Kero: *Still trying to reach out for the cookies*
Eriol: Oh.
m.e.: Hey! *Whacks Bob over the head with the plate* It was a big spider okay!
Bob: It was smaller then the back of a pin but with long legs!
m.e.: It was still creepy. *Shoves another cookie into her mouth*
Eriol: How'd I end up here?
m.e.: *Throws plate aside and hugs his head* Aww, aren't you happy to be here?
Kero: Must. Reach. COOKIES!
