My No.1 Girl
Chapter 3
It was a fine Monday morning. Hiiragizawa Eriol was on his way to school. Though the birds were chirping and the sun was high, Eriol felt totally bummed and tired. Eventhough he had just gotten his sleep, he didn't feel a tad well, due to...their class project.
It was last week when their sensei announced, the project. Eventhough it was just a normal project for any 10-year-old, it was very important and special for Eriol.
Their project was, teddy bear making. At first, Eriol thought that it was a very stupid project and that it was only meant to be done by girls. But then their sensei told them: "It was said that if you give a special someone a bear and and the person names it after you, it means that the person will hold you dear to his or her heart forever. I know that it is childish, but you're still children. Why don't you give it a try?" Those words remained inside Eriol's mind for a long time.
Andnow, he was becoming quite frantic. To whom shall he give his bear to? He could give it to his father, but he's in another country right now. His bodyguard perhaps? Nah. Eriol thought. He continued thinking about whom to give his teddy bear project to when...
"Eriol-kun!" A familiar voice shouted from afar.
He looked back, already knowing who called him.
The amethyst-eyed girl caught up to him and was panting really, really hard.
"Are you okay, Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol asked gently.
Tomoyo tried to breather in and out normally before she replied: "Hai. You should be more sensitive to your environment, Eriol-kun. I've been chasing you for minutes already."
"Gomen ne, Tomoyo-chan. I'll try." He said as he offered her his arm. "Shall we?" He then asked.
"Of course." The happy amethyst-eyed lass replied.
Before they set foot on the school grounds that day, Eriol had already decided to whom he would be giving his teddy bear...
To his first best friend. To Daidouji Tomoyo.

A month has passed since their teddy bear project was given. It was already checked by their sensei but the real test is yet to be overcome. The test of giving the teddy bear to the special someone.
Eriol was in soccer practice, together with his pals, Li Syaoran and Yamazaki. Of course, Eriol was the star player, he'd practice everytime he had free time, as required by their coach.
As usual, Tomoyo was sitting on a bench overlooking the soccer field, where Eriol was practicing. This was their usual routine everyday, Tomoyo waiting for Eriol while he had his practices. She decided to do her homework. She opened her bag and took out her Math book. Before she closed her bag, her eyes fell upon her teddy bear project. It's been a week since their project was checked by their teacher and she got a perfect grade, as usual. She took it out and looked at it while thoughts ran through her mind. Once their sensei announced that the bear they will be making was to be given to a special someone, she already knew to whom she would be giving her bear. She looked up and cast her eyes on her childhood friend, Hiiragizawa Eriol. She was ready to give it to him but her problem was, how will she give it to him? She had some ideas on what Eriol might think once she gives him her bear. One, he might think she has a crush on him, which is quite true but she didn't want him to know about her feelings yet, Two, he might think that she thinks that he's gay and that she thought that he had started collecting and stuffed toys...Those were the only ideas she had and she didn't want to think about more.
'But my bag is getting heavy because of this bear...' Tomoyo thought as her eyes fell upon the teddy bear she was holding again. She stared at it a few minutes more, then her eyes lit up when an idea struck her. She had just thought of the perfect excuse for giving Eriol her teddy bear!
**
It was an hour later when Eriol had finished his practice. He immediately got his things and went to Tomoyo's side.
"Hey! Are you ready to go?" He asked her.
"Hmm?...Okay." Tomoyo said as she put her Math book in her bag.
There was complete silence between them as they went out of the school campus. When they were taking a shortcut through the park, Tomoyo spoke up.
"Eriol-kun, I need your help..." Tomoyo said.
"Hmm?...What's wrong?" He asked.
She took his hand, which made him fight a blush and led him to a bench just near the playground of the park. They sat and Tomoyo was looking straight into his eyes. He started wondering what her problem was.
"You see, Eriol-kun..." Tomoyo started.
"Hmm?"
"You know the teddy bear project we had?"
"Yeah....?"
"You see, it's been stuck inside my bag for a long, long time and..."
"And...?"
"I was thinking if you could have it." Tomoyo said in a rush, trying to fight the blush that was threatening to conquer her rosy cheeks.
"Eh...?" Eriol wasn't sure if what he heard was right...so he started taking it in slowly, carefully thinking of what to say. Should he give her his bear too?
Tomoyo saw the uncertainty and confusion in his eyes.
"Please take it, Eriol-kun! My bag's getting heavier and heavier each day!"
Finally, Eriol spoke up.
"I'll take it if you take my bear." He said.
"Eh?" Now, Tomoyo was the one was confused.
There was complete siklence between them. Until...
"Okay." Tomoyo said with a small smile.
Eriol and Tomoyo got their bags and took out the bears and Tomoyo handed hers to Eriol and Eriol did the same.
There was complete silence between them once again.
"What are you going to name it?" Eriol asked.
"I don't know...I still have to think about it..." Tomoyo lied.
Eriol gave her a small nod. "Should we go now? I don't want to miss my favorite show." He asked.
"Okay." Tomoyo said as both of them got up and started walking again.
**
Tomoyo was lying in her bed, the teddy bear given to her by Eriol in her hands. She brushed her fingers against the bear's soft fur.
"I'm naming you Eriol." She said to the bear softly. She had a smile on her face as she put the bear against her chest and held it tightly there.
While Tomoyo was in her bed, asleep, a certain cerulean-eyed boy had just named his new teddy bear Tomoyo.
