Chapter Three

Sakura's POV

Dear Diary,

Only a few weeks at Crestwood and things are already complicated. My head is spinning from it all. Talking to my father and Ms. Misuki isn't helping a bit either. They say I shouldn't give up, but it gets annoying studying so hard trying to make them proud. I would love it so much if my father could see me now. He already doesn't believe me when I say that I don't get as much sleep. To be truthful, I don't believe it so much myself!

My roommates are just as stressed as me too. I think I'm the one that's not handling it as well as I should be. I mean, I am, "A gifted young woman who should handle my duties with poise and grace". At least that's what Mrs. Keen says. She's said it 22 times since classes started. Trust me Diary, I counted. But enough rambling; it's back to Algebra work.

Until later,

Sakura

"Sakura," Rika called to me while I was shuffling papers. "Do you have an extra pen?"

I looked in my pencil case luckily finding a cute pink one for her. I handed it to her and she smiled thanking me. We've all gotten to know each other in a short period of time, and I'm glad. Even Tomoyo enjoyed me and Rika's company. She is quiet the girl actually.

Rika sighed deeply and she closed her books. She got up and started walking around the room. I don't blamer her. We've been studying non-stop lately and it wasn't even near the middle of the year. "I need a break. This is too much work, even for me. We haven't even had lunch." She whined. Now I know Rika needed a break.

"How about we take a walk, go to town."

Rika gave a slight chuckle and Tomoyo put down her pencil. "You can't be serious." Tomoyo spoke. I shrugged not knowing what got into me. "You are." She gasped. "You know that's against the rules. We can only go out on weekends and Wednesdays."

"No one will know if we do." Rika said on my side. She and I both looked at Tomoyo hoping she'd go along with our evil plan. Tomoyo not being the kind of person that would scold anyone simply shook her head. Rika and I gave up knowing she wouldn't change her mind.

Tomoyo's POV

I sighed going back to my studies after that little discussion. I know it gets frustrating studying most of the day away, but I think Sakura needs to understand that we at Crestwood take our studies seriously. It's better to start school off right just incase you mess up later. Even thought I really don't have to worry about that seeing that if I did mess up, mother would have my head...not to mention my allowance for shopping. I hate to be a party pooper.

Glancing over to Sakura and Rika I can see them hard working. I only had a few more things to work on. I looked at my clock and it was almost 6 o'clock. Feeling slightly bad I asked the girls, "Would you ladies like to go get something to eat? It's almost dinner." I gave them a grin. Rika looked up with brightened eyes and Sakura cheered.

"Let's go then!" Sakura said.

The girls and I grabbed our things and walked out the door. Other students were heading to the cafeteria also. You could tell most of them were working hard with there studies too.

"Is it always like this at the beginning of the school year?" Sakura asked with a slightly low voice.

"Pretty much Kura-chan." Rika answered. She ran her fingers through her hair. We were all in our regular clothes. Sakura wearing a pink shirt with grey sweat pants rolled up to the lower part of her knees, and Rika in a red shirt and grey pants. I know they were both happy to get out of their uniforms. I personally think they're not as bad as they make them out to be.

When we got to the table, two other girls where already present. They were last year's juniors, who are now seniors. They were kind of on the rebel side, but they were girls at heart. I took design classes with them.

"Hey Tomo!" Tasha, one of the girls greeted.

"Hello." I smiled.

"Hi there." She said to Sakura and Rika. I'm sure she remembers Rika from last year. She was around me quite frequently after all. Tasha looks a lot different from last year. Her wavy black hair had a hint of red in various places. She probably dyed it over the summer. I looked over to Susanna. In a way, she's like me. She keeps to herself and doesn't speak much. I don't think I'm as bad as her, but I think we're pretty similar. She has reddish-purple hair and light brown eyes. Tasha and Susanna are really close friends. Tasha of course was the rambunctious one and Susanna was the quiet artist.

"So how's school doing?" Tasha asked? "Any fashion ideas?"

Sakura looked up in awe. "Fashion ideas?"

"Oh yes!" Tasha squealed. "Tomo-chan is a fashion genius! And her designs are divine! You really must show them Tomoyo!" Tasha nodded excitedly making me blush. "You really mustn't say such things Tasha. I'm not that great."

"Oh, but you are." Susanna came in quietly in her English accent. "The last dress was quite cute."

"I want to see it Tomoyo!"

"I think I remember that dress. You'd love it Sakura-chan." Rika said agreeing with the other two. I really wish they wouldn't brag about me so much.

Sakura's POV

Hearing Tasha talk of Tomoyo's dress really caught my attention. It's interesting to know Tomoyo has a creative side to her. She looks so bashful about the whole thing. None the less, it's exciting.

"So, what does it look like?"

"It's a dream, I swear it is." Tasha sipped her drink. "Did you bring it Tomoyo?" I looked over to Tomoyo hoping she did. Her blush grew bigger and brighter making her face crimson.

"I don't think I did." She got up and started to leave. I got up following her. "I wonder why she acts like this all the time…" I thought to myself. "Tomoyo, wait a second!" I called to her.

Tomoyo practically ran her way to the garden finally figuring out she's not going to loose me, as big as this school was. She sat by the fountain turning her head away from me. "Sakura, please don't worry about me. I just like to be left alone sometimes." She whispered low.

"I'm sorry if I said something wrong Tomoyo. I just, wanted to know…more about you…"

Tomoyo still looked away from me. "You really don't. I'm not that interesting."

"Sure you are!" I said brightly trying to lighten the mood. She only sighed and looked toward the sky.

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Because, I think you're beautiful person Tomoyo." She looked up at me. As if I were reading her mind, I added, "And I'm not just saying that!"

Tomoyo's eyes shinned. She is truly a beautiful person. So maybe if she hears someone saying it to her, she'll believe it.

"Thank you, Sakura" she smiled. It was a real smile too.

"No problem Tomoyo. I just want you to know I'll be here for you, because we're friends. And you can trust me."

"You're…a very nice person Sakura. I think that makes you just as beautiful as I am, and I mean that."

Hearing her say that made me happy inside making me hug her. "Well I guess we should go back now. My stomach is growling." I laughed. Tomoyo nodded. The two of us walked back to the cafeteria with the rest of the group. Hopefully they were still there.

Dear Kitty,

I had a heart-to-heart with Sakura (If you can call it that). She's such a great person and wants to be my friend. Of course, I want her to be a friend too. She said I could trust her and she said I was a beautiful person. I know she was being honest, but, I'm not sure about the whole trust thing…I have a hard time trusting people. And I've heard that line before- and believed it. It ruined everything. I had to move away because of thinking I could trust an individual. But, I suppose all people are not the same. Still, I don't know if I can confide in her.

Sincerely,

Tomoyo Daidoji

Tomoyo's POV

Putting down my diary, I saw Rika helping Sakura with her math work. As smart as Sakura was, math was not one of her strong points. I don't care for the subject, and I do fairly well in it.

"Sakura, I know you can get this." Rika said encouraging her.

"I know! But I can't get the next step!"

"Yes you do Sakura."

Rika had incredible patients. She was determined to help Sakura though. I decided to step in.

"Can I assist with anything Sakura? Rika?" I asked the two. They looked at me for a bit and them smiled.

"Of course you can, Tomoyo." Rika moved a pillow from Sakura's bed. I sat down and grabbed a pencil. "We'll I know a better way to work this out, I think Rika forgot about this one." I smiled writing down the problem. It felt good to help Sakura and Rika. The girls who I know I can trust.

"I know I can trust them."

ERi- We'll after months of contemplation, I think I'm back to finish this up. I will do it! It's going to be one of the top things on my to-do list! Promise! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It's not done! Bare with me! Please Review! I'll love you forever! Also, I know Tomoyo's a LOT OOC, but it's MY story so deal with it. Lol. Okay that was mean, but yeah you'll like it later trust me. We'll enough talk. See you!
