Chapter 5: Tomoyo, the Counselor

SCHOOL DECK

"Hey Eriol!"

"Oh, hey Tomoyo..."

"What's the matter Eriol? Are you sick or something?" Tomoyo said, concern showing through her amethyst eyes.

"Yeah! I'm ok! In fact I'm ecstatic!" Eriol said faking a very huge smile... with a hint of sarcasm.

'I'm so ecstatic, that I want to kill my self right now, right this minute...'

"Are you sure?" Tomoyo said, not believing a word he said to her.

"I'm 1 million percent sure that I'm fine ok? What makes you think that I'm not ok?" he said a bit shouting, the fake smile still plastered on his face.

'And a million percent that I want to chop my head off...'

"You're asking me what makes me think that you you're not okay? Hmm... let's see... the way you smile, and no one talks while having a huge smile on your face... you may deceive other people with that face of yours, but I'm sorry, no one can deceive me... so, spill whatever your problem is." Tomoyo said grinning at Eriol.

"Let me ask you a question..."

"A question huh? Okay, shoot..."

"I have a question to give you, BUT you should answer it as truthful and honest as possible."

"Okay... I swear that I'll tell the truth and nothing but the truth..."

"Has it ever happen to you that you met someone for the first time, and then... it was like love at first sight?"

"Huh? I don't believe in "love at first sight", because how can you love a person if you only saw what is outside? Why are you asking me?"

"Tomoyo, I need you advice..." Eriol told Tomoyo, looking at her eyes.

"My advice...? I guess it's ok..."

'My heart almost smashed my rib cage when Eriol looked at me in the eyes...! Agghh!! Why am I like this?!'

"Well, you see, I saw a girl, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life and I think that if ever Aphrodite saw her, Aphrodite will envy her because of her beauty... my best friend also agrees to the statement, but anyways, I befriended her and well, she became a close friend of mine... we would talk together for hours, go out together and as days passes by, I have learned to love her but until one day, I heard that the one she loves is my best friend, and my best friend also loves her! So... you think I should forget my love for her?" Eriol said, almost getting teary eyed.

'So, he loves someone already... all I can say is that that girl is so stupid not o notice Eriol... if only Eriol met me earlier then he might have avoided that heart ache...'

"You can't forget love you know...Well, I guess you obviously should tell her about your feelings... right? So at least she'll know that you loved her... even for a while..."

"I still love her... and I guess I'll love her as long as I live..."

"Ah... I see, you can't forget love... you have to accept that the person you love doesn't love you... and slowly... one day you'll notice that she has no space in your heart anymore..." Tomoyo said smiling sadly.

"You know what Tomoyo, I envy you because it seems that you don't have any problems at all..."

"You envy me? You shouldn't envy me... It only seems like I don't have any problems at all, but the truth is have this great big problem of my own..."

"I see... so... what's your problem...? I might be able to help..."

"Really huh? Well, let's just say it's an unrequited love..."

"Unrequited love huh...? That must have hurt a lot?"

"Yeah... it hurts so much... you see, I like this certain man, ever since I saw him... I dunno but my feelings were scrambled the moment I saw him... but sadly he likes a certain girl who doesn't even notice him..."

"Ah... same problem like mine huh?"

"You can say that again..."
