I'm back with another chapter! I'm very sorry for the late
update, you see, I've been preparing for my college admission recently
(would you believe it I'm only an incoming senior and I'm already preparing
for college?!) and have been away from the computer for a couple of days.
Also I still have to prepare for the beginning of our classes this June and
have to help around the house every now and then... this chapter will be
shorter than usual as the next chapter will be quite long (does that make
sense?) This will kind of just serve as the bridge that will connect the
previous chapters to the next chapter that I will be working on... It's only
four pages in my word processor but I hope you don't mind... I really wanted
to make it longer and believe me I've been working on this chapter for days
and this is close enough to what I want... I promise to make the next chapter
better so please go ahead and read review... Thank you very much!

Chapter 13 – Tailed
"A-she's adorable, B- she's so beautiful, C-she's so cute and full of charm, D-she's your darling, and E- she's exciting, and F-she's the feather of your life," Yamazaki's teasing voice sang as Eriol almost choked on the soda he is drinking. It was lunchtime and they were at the rooftop each devouring a well-prepared lunchbox Tomoyo prepared earlier that morning. The clouds were a bit bluish gray blanketing the heat of the sun making it cool enough for them to have a peaceful lunch – asides from the habitual bickering of course.
"Tell me again why I agreed to have you guys join us for lunch..." Eriol muttered under his breath as he glared at Yamazaki and Shaoran who are laughing mischievously as they gobble down their lunch.
"Agreed or not we would come, after all it was Tomoyo-chan who invited us and not you," Kaho chuckled as she helped herself with some tempura. Eriol rolled his eyes.
"What? What did you said?" Tomoyo asked taking off her earphones to join the conversation.
"N-nothing," Eriol stammered not wanting Tomoyo to learn about the jingle or anything about his frustrations.
"He was complimenting your cooking, it's really good," Kaho supplied covering up for Eriol's stammering. Tomoyo cocked an eyebrow.
"Compliment? That's very unlikely," she said returning to her tempura.
"Yeah, yeah, like Armageddon is on the way," Eriol said sarcastically.

Dear Diary,
Boy, am I beat. I've been running all day...no... change that... THE WHOLE WEEK like there's no tomorrow and it seems to me that everyone is after me either for club memberships or fan club stuff- and I thought I left my busy life in London. On top of that it's terribly hot today. Just my luck, don't you think? I mean it's supposed to be autumn and yet I still find myself scorched and sweaty I guess it's because of all the running I did... never mind...
Eriol has fencing practice today so I'm stuck here at one of the benches outside the library scribbling. It's a good thing most of the students are out already and I can at least write with ease without anyone popping out of nowhere persistently asking me for admission and stuff - honestly speaking, it is starting to get on my nerves a little bit and I'm afraid my patience is running short for about a couple of meters already. I've been telling them again and again politely that I am not interested in taking part in any club activities at the moment but they seem to understand neither English nor Japanese, perhaps French would rub it in to them a bit? Or should I study Cantonese? Polish? Russian? AHH! Forget it! I guess they don't take no for an answer, but does that have to mean that I take 24 club activities a day????!!
But, no, diary, they either are unaware of my plight or are just born to be super-duper-persistent-to-the-extent-your-temples-will-burst that they just keep on coming. I even tried taking different routes to get to my classes just to lose them, but it seems to me that they've got the instincts that of a dog that they always find me like a prey. They even stuffed my locker with so many notes and stuff that I had to spend my whole break time to empty them out and place my books in peace!
To tell you the truth I'm starting to have doubts if I could still be nice from all these torture... Eriol's here, I'll write again on you later, we still need to go to the grocery for some things we need at home... later!
Always,
Tomoyo (",)
PS: Thanks for letting me take it all out on you... I really need it

Dear Diary,
Guess what? After being tailed for a good two whole weeks from my very first arrival in school the guys have started bothering me... for a price though...
Let's just say that I, Tomoyo Daidouji, fifteen years old, after eight years in the limelight and so used to being tailed and getting my way out of my so-called "predators", for the first time in history actually was caught due to my sudden slip in one of the corridors in a chase earlier this afternoon due to a very disappointing shoe. And like the three musketeers Eriol, Kaho and Shaoran arrived out of the blue saving my shin by telling the "predators" to stop chasing after me and stuff as I already have a club- the Literary Club in particular.
Did the guys buy the excuse? NO! I myself didn't, I don't even remember applying for any club... but somehow with their (hate to admit this one) unwitting charisma they were able to put it all together- not easily though I might add for upon learning that it was actually Eriol who filed my admission they started to argue about legalities and stuff like as if they were a bunch of lawyers in court and the like. And believe me it was a totally wreck, everyone's arguing that I didn't think they would stop. To their shock and Eriol and my horror Kaho good naturedly told everyone that Eriol has every right to file my admission as he is my fiancé! And in a snap like a mute button everyone became tongue-tied with me and Eriol sweat dropping.
Like who wouldn't? And before I knew it some of them started bawling and reciting a litany of grief or something like that and we had to dash out... I know the whole thing sounds stupid to say so at the very least but it's true... now that I think about it I kind of find it a little bit hilarious- after all it's not everyday that you get your way from a mob of persistent representatives by telling them that your fiancée already filed your admission to the Literary Club right? Kaho and Shaoran find the whole thing funny, but Eriol seems to be doubtful about the idea. I don't exactly know how he feels about the situation he just acts like nothing happened.
A couple of days ago he was really kind of worried on the idea that I've been running around and stuff and that took me aback a bit. Nothing special really... just kind of wondering... I hate to admit this but I'm starting to get used at his presence...
I don't know what to do and I don't know what will happen next... this is all so bizarre... weird right?
I guess I'm just sleepy and tired... never mind what I just said and wrote... Good night!
Always,
Tomoyo (",)

- Yamzaki enters the set with a wicked grin-
Things are getting interesting, it was a good idea that Kaho spilled the beans about the engagement, now Eriol and Tomoyo are the talk of the school... this is a great chance for a scheme...evil laugh
Just in time for the upcoming winter festival... omoshiroi...hahahhaha
Next on Project Engagement: Spreading Rumors: Yamazaki's Scheme
That's it! But before I leave I wish to thank the ET fan who defended my side when I recently had a "flame" from a reviewer. That was really nice of you, sweet in particular, but I wouldn't want you to get into trouble because of me. I've e-mailed Serenity-san already and kind of worked things out with her, she corrected some of my errors which includes a number of Japanese translations and has apologized for the way she sounded at the review. She didn't mean to sound rude but was kind of off that day and just fired the gun. We both made mistakes and kind of call it quits.
She has apologized, back-off the ET bashing and respects the pairing... so... I guess there's no longer any need to make the review stick or something... I'm considering of removing the review but decided against it as it has served as a turning point on my part on where I got a little push from reality and to check myself and my works from time to time as I tend to get carried away. But then past is past, and everything is settled so I guess there is no need to open everything up and stuff. Again, thank you very much, I have a hunch on who you are and I know that you are a nice person... thanks again, this chapter and the next is dedicated to you!
To my wonderful reviewers, thank you for your reviews, they never fail to make me feel better and fired up to write yet another chapter. To crystal wolf=P and the ET fan I took up your advice and changed the title, thank you! hugs everyone in a tight bear hug
