My No. 1 Girl
Chapter 4
16-year old Hiiragizawa Eriol sat quietly in his seat, listening to the boring lectures of their Biology teacher. How many times did he have to study about cells and tissues anyway? He and his classmates have been studying about those ever since the 6th grade.
The 6th grade.
That school year had been a very memorable year for him. Not only did his feelings for his best friend grow stronger, but also a 'pest' arrived and began to make his way between him and Tomoyo.
'Stupid bastard.' he thought.
But even with the 'stupid bastard' around, whose name is Ken Chisaki, his relationship with Tomoyo had remained the same, they were still the best of friends.
'Best friends...I guess that's what we'll ever be.' Eriol thought sadly.
**
16-year-old Daidouji Tomoyo sat quietly in her seat, thinking what had happened between Eriol and Ken earlier that day, during lunchtime. She and Eriol were eating together in their favorite place, under the sakura tree in the schoolyard. It was then that Ken had butted in their conversation and handed Tomoyo a red rose. She simply gave him a smile and said thanks. She faced Eriol again, only to find him giving Ken a very heated glare. She looked at Ken again who was already walking away.
Tomoyo sighed, 'This is so confusing.' she thought. She couldn't understand the reaction Eriol gave when Ken gave her the red rose. Only two things had come to her mind:
A) Eriol was simply acting like an overprotective elder brother.
Or
B) There could be a possibility that Eriol is jealous.
She sighed again; she wished that option letter B is true and that Eriol didn't think of her as a little sister. During the long years they've been best friends, Tomoyo had been confused, why did her heart beat fast whenever she and Eriol were together? She has realized her feelings for him, six years ago when she had given him her hand-made teddy bear. But her problem now was: Will she confess to him her feeling or not? She had no idea what Eriol truly felt for her and there is a slight possibility that Eriol might like her the way she liked him, but still, she was not sure.
'I'll think about this later.' she thought.
She adjusted in her seat and listened to the boring lecture.
**
The dismissal bell rang and the students of Tomoeda High rushed out of their classrooms, eager to go home. Eriol and Tomoyo were just two of the hundreds of students rejoicing that the classes for that day. But still, there were responsibilities to be done. Tomoyo still had a choir practice and as usual, Eriol has to wait for her so they could walk home together. Eriol has never complained about walking Tomoyo home. For him, it was some sort of a ritual, since they lived in the same neighborhood but for others, it was an act of courting. And walking Tomoyo home would keep Ken away from her, or so he thought. He has always thought of Ken as a sly weasel. Eriol sat down on one of the steps leading to the hall in which the choir practice was being held. He looked at his watch, '56 minutes more.' he thought.
**
It was almost sunset when the choir practice finished. Eriol had actually fallen asleep and Tomoyo had to wake him up. She has always looked forward to their walks home. They would talk about anything and make fun of anything. There was never a dull moment when she was with Eriol, which was why she loved him all the more. He may not look like it, but he's always full of energy, had the patience of a rock and the kindness no one could compare to.
Eriol stood up, put on his bag and gave Tomoyo and apologetic smile. How long has she waited for him to wake up?
**
They were walking through the park, their favorite place. For them, it was s shortcut, so they could go home faster but sometimes, going through the park would take them longer because they would reminisce and they would walk at a noticeably slower rate. During their walk through the park that day, they talked about when Tomoyo had gotten a wound because of a careless playmate.
"I remember I fell here." Tomoyo stated as she stood near a sandbox.
"Yeah, you were crying like there was no tomorrow." Eriol said with a smile.
"I was not!"
"Yes, you were!"
"I was not!"
"Yes, you were"
"Humph! Eriol you're being mean again!" Tomoyo exclaimed sarcastically.
"Hey, I was only kidding!"
Both of them started laughing, when their tummies started to hurt, they decided to sit down on a bench nearby. An awkward silence came between the two of them. Eriol didn't know what had possessed him during that time but he wasn't able to stop the words that came from his mouth.
"I remembered...I promised myself that I'd beat the crap out of anyone who tried to hurt you." Eriol said, out of the blue.
Tomoyo was taken aback by what Eriol had said. When she was finally able to absorb what he said, a small but glad smile appeared on her face.
"I've always known that you were the sweet kind of guy."
"I know that." Eriol looked at her, laughter in his eyes. He could still remember everything that happened years ago, when they were still kids, when Tomoyo had gotten wounded for tripping.
"Remember what I did to you when you got a boo-boo?"
Tomoyo blushed. Of course she remembered. "Yeah."
Eriol suddenly reached out for her hand, held it tightly with his. He stared into her beautiful eyes, trying to fit the words perfectly. He was having an inner debate, whether he should confess to her or not. His feelings for her have become so strong, it already hurt. It was now or never.
"Tomoyo, I---..."
**
Her heart was betting so fast. Was she about to hear the words that she has been hoping to hear for so long? Those three simple words...
Tomoyo, I--..."
This was it.
And she hoped for the best.
**
Eriol was having a hard time thinking and breathing. His heart was beating so fast he thought he would have a heart attack any moment now. His eyes were still in contact with hers. Looking at those amethyst pools made his thinking become harder. Damn, he couldn't concentrate.
**
Why was he not saying anything yet? Isn't it about time that he confessed to her his undying love? He must be thinking, Tomoyo. Trying hard to think of the right words to say.
**
"Tomoyo, I--"
"Yes?"
"I--"
Tomoyo's heart was already drumming.
"I--"
Tomoyo looked on.
"I lo--"
"I love you too."
Eriol stared at her dumbly. Did he hear right?
"What?" Eriol asked, confused.
"I said I love you too. What? You don't love me?"
"Th-that's not what I mean---Really?"
Tomoyo nodded. He did love her...right?
Eriol, finally absorbing Tomoyo's words, smiled dumbly, probably love struck.
Tomoyo, seeing the smile that had appeared on Eriol's face, smiled too.
"So does that mean...we're...you know...boyfriend-girlfriend?" Eriol asked.
"I guess...but we have to do something first."
"What?"
"This."
And Tomoyo pressed her lips against Eriol's.
