Chapter 3 - You Again!

"Miss Daidouji Tomoyo," said Sensei Koshaii Kuina, the principle of Kotoyanu University, "you are now accepted into this school."

Tomoyo gasped.

"I hope you will be able to do the best you can and have a great future," said Koshaii-sensei, smiling.

"Oh Koshaii-sensei, thank you so much!" exclaimed Tomoyo, "You do not know how much this means to me!"

"AHAHAHA!" laughed the Sensei, "well, you better head back home to pack up for tomorrow's day of education then! Here is your timetable for tomorrow. "

"Thank you Koshaii-sensei," said Tomoyo, politely, as she held her hand out to receive her timetable.

--------------------

Once Tomoyo got home, she went upstairs to her room and took out her mobile phone to call up Sakura to tell her the good news. Since Tomoyo was already starting university, her mum had finally allowed Tomoyo to live by herself with any escorts or bodyguards to interfere with her work. Tomoyo was frilled when she was able to live by herself and had set out to look for her future house. The house that Tomoyo bought was a two-storey house that was next to a river, which leads to a park. Her house was in the city so it would be easier for her to go to school. It was the perfect house for Tomoyo to live in. Modern style, beautiful view of the river and park, not too small and not too large. Yes, just perfect.

"Moshi moshi, Kinomoto residence, Sakura speaking," asked the person on the other line. Tomoyo definitely knew it was Sakura. Who wouldn't recognize her sweet, innocent voice? Well, not her! That is for sure.

"Sakura-chan!" exclaimed Tomoyo on the other line. "It's me, Tomoyo."

"Oh, hey Tomoyo-chan!" said Sakura, "So how did it went with the principle? I hope you made it in time."

Tomoyo had a notion in her head.

"I... I didn't make it in," Tomoyo said, " I was too late."

"WHAT!" exclaimed Sakura, "you didn't make it in? Oh no! I am so sorry Tomoyo-chan! I should have told you as soon as possible! It's my entire fault! I'm really sorry Tomoyo, really I am!"

Sakura expected Tomoyo to be shouting at her and saying it is all her fault, or something like that, but all she got was Tomoyo's laughter on the other line. Is something wrong here? I don't seem to get the picture. I thought Tomoyo's supposed sad, not laughing her head off.

"Hoe?"

"AHAHAHA!" laughed Tomoyo, "I'm ahahah sorry Sakura-chan ahahah! It's just ahahah the chance to ahahah tease you ahahah is just too ahahah great ahahah!"

"So … so you made it in?" queried Sakura.

"Oh course, silly!" said Tomoyo cheerfully.

"Oh, I'm glad!" Sakura sighed.

"But it was a close call," said Tomoyo, "luckily; I just made it just in time. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you've received my application form for the school, Sakura-chan?"

"I was about to tell you, but then you were too busy sketching for your next fashion show, so I thought I would tell you a day before the due date," explained Sakura, "but I didn't see you and your phone wasn't on."

"Cause my phone was out of batteries," said Tomoyo, "well, I'll let you off this time. It was kind of my fault too."

"Phew! I thought you were going to get on my head or something!" exclaimed Sakura.

"HA! As if I'll ever do that to you, my dear cousin and best friend," said Tomoyo. Yes, Sakura is Tomoyo's third cousin and best friend, yet Sakura is not your ordinary girl. She is the owner of a book of Sakura cards, which used to be called Clow Cards. In addition, back then, it was Tomoyo's job and pleasure to make costumes for her, film Sakura while she's capturing the cards, help her with the cards and match make her with her beloved Li Syaoron, who is now her boyfriend. She has Emerald, green eyes with auburn, short hair. She had grown into a beautiful young woman and her curves had grown out quite beautifully. Alas, her personality had not changed. She is still an oblivious, cheerful, energetic and, not to mention, cute girl.

"Oh Sakura-chan! I've got to tell you tell you about this guy I met at the entrance of the school!" said Tomoyo.

"Oh, tell me! Tell me!" said Sakura excitedly.

"Well, his name is Igarashi Hideki," began Tomoyo, "I bumped into him while running to the office. I thought I was about to fall but he saved me and he asked me my name and he told me his. He is really cute!"

"Oh my Kami-sama!" exclaimed Sakura, "Tomoyo-chan, I bet he was flirting with you!"

"No way!" objected Tomoyo, "I don't think he's interested in me."

"What! Why wouldn't he? You're like the perfect girl to have as a girlfriend!" disagreed Sakura.

"No Sakura! Don't say that!" said Tomoyo, only just above a whisper. Inside, she really did hope that Igarashi-kun would be interested in her. It was too upsetting for her to stay lonely. It was too heart breaking to see so many of her friends all paired up, except for her. Many of her friends tried to set her up with some men. However, no matter how generous, intelligent, sophisticated they are, they were not good enough for Tomoyo likes. Not that she thinks that the men she has been set up with were all insensitive jerks, but she just thought that she should be the one looking for her other half. Not her friends.

"Let's just change the subject Sakura-chan," said Tomoyo quietly.

"Okay then Tomoyo-chan," said Sakura, "if you say so."

Tomoyo was thinking something up to talk to Sakura about when she had remembered the jerk that she bumped into earlier, before Igarashi-san.

"I just remembered, I've bumped into another guy," started Tomoyo.

"Really?" asked Sakura, "I've never knew you were that clumsy Tomoyo-chan."

"I've wouldn't bumped into him if he was looking to where he was going," said Tomoyo angrily.

"Tomoyo-chan, are you alright?" said Sakura with concern clearly heard in her voice.

"Yes I'm fine Sakura-chan," said Tomoyo sincerely, "it's just that the guy that I've bumped into earlier was so rude!"

"How so?" questioned Sakura.

"Well," began Tomoyo, "It was kind of my fault at first because I had bumped into him and I accidentally stepped on his glasses and broke them."

"Oh Tomoyo-chan, how could you be so clumsy," said Sakura.

"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black," mumbled Tomoyo.

"Hoe? What did you say Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing!" said Tomoyo, "as I was saying, I accidentally broke his glasses. I said sorry and was about to repay him back when he started to insult me! Could you believe the nerves of that guy! Therefore, I started to criticize him back. "

"Oh dear," said Sakura sympathetically, "I'm sure he doesn't really mean all that. Maybe he just had a bad day. But then again, it was very rude of him to insult you for just breaking his glasses."

"Yeah, I know!" exclaimed Tomoyo, "well, I better go now. Got to get ready for school tomorrow."

"Okay then," replied Sakura, "good night!"

"You too!" said Tomoyo.

After Tomoyo hanged up, she took a shower and packed up for her classes. She had double period of Maths in the first two periods, then recess, then a period of Chemistry and then Art, then lunch, and afterwards she had English and then a spare period. Besides the 'incident' with that rude man and being almost late for the interview, every thing went just fine.

Tomoyo was drifting off to sleep, dreaming for her prince charming to enter her life and, possibly, that prince charming of hers was Igarashi-kun. Life was good.

'BRING, BRING!"

Tomoyo woke up with a start. She stopped her alarm clock before it deafens her ears even more. She brushed her teeth, had a bath, washed her face, brushed her hair, got dress for school. She was wearing a purple tank top with a long pink and white skirt, accompanied with brown, fury boots. She grabbed her satchel and headed towards the kitchen. She baked herself some pancakes with maple syrup. She ate them quickly and left the plates in the sink for her to wash once she was home after school.

She walked along the path, which led her to her new school. When she was at the entrance, she realized she was early, since there weren't many people around the campus. She was walking towards the entrance to the school's building when someone else behind the door opened it. Tomoyo fell backwards and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" said Tomoyo, rubbing her back.

"Oh, sorry Miss," apologised the person who bumped into Tomoyo.

"That's okay," replied Tomoyo while rubbing her back. Tomoyo was sure it was a man because he had a baritone voice. He sounds familiar. Hmm, maybe it is just all in my head.

"Here, let me help you get back up," offered the courteous man. He held his hand out for Tomoyo to hold onto it.

Tomoyo took hold of it and the generous man pulled her back up. She looked up to say thank you, but she stopped. Right in front of her was the same man that had insulted her, like there was no tomorrow! She felt her anger rising.

-----

Eriol, himself, went to Kotoyanu University. He was playing the piano because he was thinking of Kaho. Every time he had thought of Kaho, he had the urge to play the piano to sooth his mind. He, then, decided to walk about in the campus, for some fresh air. He walked out of the musical classroom and began his journey down the school's hall. He was just about to walk out, for some fresh air, when he opened the door and knocked over a young lady. As the gentleman he was, he apologised and helped her up. However, once he saw her face, he was speechless. He bumped into yesterday the same girl. The one that broke his glasses, which Kaho had given him, and had injured his pride in front of numerous of people at the park. He could feel his anger rising.

Intense silence fell between them. Both were glaring at each other, daring the other to speak first. In the end, they could not take the awkward silence. Both decided to break the silence and simultaneously said:

"YOU AGAIN!"
