It was the month of October as Tomoyo was taking a test from their school. She wanted to take up Nursing so instead she'll go to the school she's going to take up to, some of the staff went to their school and brought the test there. Last night she and Eriol we're talking that they'll meet up today…Saturday. She wondered if he's really coming. She was finish taking up the test together with her friend Fawn. Fawn also knows about Eriol because when it was their intramurals Fawn was so bored that she asked for Tomoyo a text mate. Tomoyo gave the number of Eriol instead and Fawn pretended she sent the wrong message. But on the later part Fawn told Eriol the truth. Eriol courted Fawn and Tomoyo thought maybe he wanted to get even with Sakura. But today she was so happy the two will meet…she hoped.
Tomoyo was still looking outside the window waiting for the other students to finish the exam and she was happy the rain stopped. She didn't bring an umbrella! Her phone vibrated and she wondered if it was Eriol texting her. When everybody have finished taking the test they passed their papers and looked at the person who text her. Shock to see it was Eriol indeed. Hi little sis! What are you doing?
"Fawn!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "Can I borrow your phone? Oniichan text me and I don't have load…yet!" Fawn gave a wry smile and gave her phone to her.
"I don't believe the heiress of the Daidouji company doesn't have load", Fawn joke.
"Oh shut up! I didn't know I didn't have load anymore", Tomoyo shot back, replying to Eriol.
"Gals where are we going?" Adela told them.
"Where are we going anyway?" Nannette began.
"Gals want to go with me to Robinsons? Me and my Mom will be going there", Kathleen began. Everyone agreed.
Nannette, Fawn and Tomoyo we're buying food while Kathleen and Adela we're waiting for them. They we're in the lower floor, food court. Kathleen was also waiting for her Mom. And when the three we're sitting down on the chairs happily eating. "Adela we're going to your house this afternoon right?" Tomoyo asked. Adela was not in the condition coz that day when she was about to go to their school to take the test she was hit by a motorcycle. It wasn't her fault though coz' the vehicles sign was stop and for the people's sign was go. When the motorcycle hit her they guy said sorry but it wasn't that sincere.
"I'll see about it Tomoyo. I have to tell my Dad about this wound. It'll probably leave a scar", Adela replied. Tomoyo nodded and hope their project will be delayed. No boys are allowed in Adela's house that's why.
""My Mom is here. Bye gals need to go", said Kathleen, standing up.
"Me too. I'm coming with you!" added Adela.
"Bye Kathleen and Adela", the three said. The two waved goodbye as they walked away. Still Tomoyo was texting Eriol while reading a book. Until there friend Janice came.
"What are you guys doing here?" Janice asked, together with her helper.
"Just eating and resting. Tomoyo is meeting with Eriol today", Nannette teased as she looked at her teasingly.
"It's not my first time to meet with him anyway", Tomoyo said, defending herself. Fawn borrowed the manga comic from Nannette which is Mars which belonged to Janice,
"Where is he anyway?" Fawn asked.
"He said he's still at home. He'll eat lunch first", Tomoyo replied. The four friends we're happily talking until Eriol text Tomoyo.
I'm in Mango Square. Where are you little sis.?
Good thing the four of them had finished eating lunch as Tomoyo stood up. "Gals let's go. He said he already arrived". Tomoyo text him back Where in Mango Square Oniichan?
Second floor, near Enterprise…I'm just sitting down. Good thing coz' Nannette and Fawn had to go back to school coz' they'll arranged their book corner. And Mango Square is just near their school.
"Gals I can't come with you coz' we're going home. Take care you three!" Janice began.
"Take care too Janice!" the three replied as they left the Mall.
The three went hurriedly to Mango Square because it was raining. And Fawn was not feeling well. She wanted to vomit because her stomach has that "wound" which can never be healed. When they arrived at Mango Square, a little wet from the rain, Tomoyo looked at the second floor if Eriol was there. Fawn and Nannette we're sitting on a bench as Tomoyo went up to the second floor. There she saw Eriol sitting down, a can of Pepsi in hand, and throws back a smile at her. She smiled as she sat down next to him and tap his cap. "What's up Oniichan? Sorry we're late".
"No problem little sis. You're with someone?" he asked, sipping the Pepsi. The lass nodded. And she looked behind. Down below Nannette and Fawn we're sitting side by side obviously waiting for her.
"I'm with Nannette and Fawn. Come on Oniichan I'll introduce you to them!" she exclaimed happily. Eriol nodded as they stood up and went down the stairs. "Say Oniichan where do you want to go today?"
"I don't know little sis." Eriol replied as they arrived to where Nannette and Fawn we're seated.
"Oniichan Eriol I want you to meet Fawn and Nannette", Tomoyo introduced. They both said there "Hello's". "Fawn doesn't feel good…she wanted to vomit".
"Maybe your pregnant", Eriol joke. The three laughed.
"Maybe I am", Fawn said, also playing around.
"Tomoyo, Fawn wanted to go to the C.R. coz' she told me maybe she would vomit", Nannette began. Tomoyo nodded.
"We're coming with you", the raven haired lass replied. The four step into the escalator as Nannette and Fawn hurriedly went to the ladies C.R. "I better check on her Oniichan".
"Sure. I'll be in the men's C.R. I'll be waiting outside for the three of you", Eriol replied.
"Sure Oniichan", Tomoyo said as she went to the ladies C.R. "Fawn? Fawn where are you?" she heard someone vomiting as she looked to what C.R. Fawn used. Nannette went out one of the C.R. doors. "Nannette where is Fawn?"
"She's using that C.R. your looking at", Nannette replied.
"Fawn are you all right? If you want we'll buy you a medicine", Tomoyo said. She was very concerned of her friend that she really can panic right now. "Fawn?" Finally Fawn went out of the C.R.
"I'm fine Tomoyo. Don't worry about buying me a medicine", Fawn replied, drinking some water.
"How come you vomit? Was it something you ate?" Tomoyo said. Fawn nodded.
"It was the coke I drank", Fawn replied with a sigh. She put the bottled water in her bag and fixed her glasses.
"You could have drunk water instead", Nannette began.
"We've got nothing to do about it. Just take care okay Fawn?" Tomoyo said. Fawn nodded as they went out of the C.R. after they finished washing their hands. They saw Eriol waiting for them outside. "Oniichan if Fawn will faint carry her okay?" she teased. Fawn looked at her with a death glare.
"No he can't do that!" Fawn exclaimed. Eriol gave a slight laugh.
"Why not?" he said. Fawn just rolled her eyes as they started going back to their school.
"Okay then Tomoyo me and Nannette will be walking hand in hand coz' we have a date you know. And you have yours", Fawn have the perfect combat. Tomoyo gaped at her friend, her cheeks flushed.
"Fawn! Wait until I have my revenge!" Tomoyo said. Fawn and Nannette we're talking so Tomoyo got nothing to do but talk to Eriol. Of course their project will be postponed coz' Adela went to the hospital to clean her wound together with her parents. Good thing she can't leave Eriol behind. They finally arrived at their school and she was shock to see Kirsten and Katrina, the twins, we're there. "I forgot…they're going to fix their mini library in their classroom", Tomoyo thought. Eriol noticed something about her.
"Something wrong little sis.?" He asked. Katrina, the younger twin went out and talked animatedly with Fawn and Nannette.
"Tomoyo!" Katrina exclaimed. Tomoyo wanted to hide right then and there.
"H-Hi Katrina", Tomoyo greeted back, stammering. "Adela text Fawn our project will be postponed today. She said she'll go to the hospital". "Even though it's selfish I'm happy though. I can't just leave Oniichan behind", she thought.
"Yeah I know and where's the diskette?" Katrina asked. Tomoyo just gaped at her.
"I-I gave it to Adela…"
"Tomoyo-chan! Why did you give it to her! I'm the leader!" Katrina exclaimed. But she wasn't angry and Tomoyo gave a slight laugh.
"S-Sorry Katrina…"Tomoyo said.
"Well anyways we'll do it next week okay?" her leader reminded. The raven haired lass nodded, sweat dropped because of her friend's weird actions. Tomoyo looked at Eriol.
"Shall we go?" Eriol nodded. "Aren't you going to say "Goodbye" to Fawn?" she teased. Eriol just shook his head and smiled. "Fawn we're going!"
"You're leaving? Well take care my dear!" Fawn exclaimed back. Tomoyo looked at Eriol like saying "Aren't you going to say anything?"
"Fawn…you drink your medicine okay?" Tomoyo sweat dropped. Was that all he can say?
"Sure why not?"
"Bye Fawn, Nannette and Katrina! Until Monday gals!" Tomoyo said for the last time.
"Bye Tomoyo!" the three said in unison. With that Tomoyo and Eriol left.
Tomoyo couldn't believe this! She remembered what Eriol friend told her last night…"You have a crush on Eriol do you?"
"I admit I have a crush on him…but that's because he dance very well", Tomoyo replied.
"Is that the only reason why you have a crush on him?"
"Yeah, you don't believe me?"
"I have a feeling you're falling for him". Tomoyo didn't reply because it was the truth. "Have you tried to go out on a date with him?"
"D-Date?"
"Yeah date so that you can get to know each other", Eriol's friend replied. Tomoyo didn't ask for his name but all of Eriol's friends know her. How ironic.
"Um…we're going out together…with my friends", she replied.
"I have a feeling you'll be going out…only the two of you", he said. "And true it's only the two of us right now", Tomoyo thought.
"Little sis.?" Eriol called. Tomoyo looked at him. "I'm going back to Mango Square to change is it okay?"
"S-Sure", Tomoyo replied.
"You okay little sis.?" She just nods as they went back to the C.R. She went to the ladies room and after washing her hands, coz' she knows what proper hygiene is all about; she went out of the C.R. waiting for Eriol. A couple was passing by as the girl went to the ladies C.R. but her boyfriend followed her. She pushed her boyfriend lightly.
"Hey that's your C.R.!" she said with a slight laugh. The guy also laughed as he went to the men's C.R. Tomoyo also gave a slight laugh as she watched the scene. She thought…they we're a couple…she wonders if people will think of them as a couple too.
"But I think they will not", Tomoyo thought with a sigh. "I have a feeling they will just think we're cousins, brothers or sisters or…friends". After of too much thinking Eriol went out of the C.R. wearing the new shirt he bought.
"How do I look?" Eriol asked. She smiled.
"You look good Oniichan", Tomoyo replied. Eriol smiled back. She hopes he didn't notice the faint blush on her cheeks. They went down on the escalator and as they we're about to go down on the steps the place was cornered by chairs. So what they did they have to jump down on the ledge.
"Can you jump little sis.?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo gave a slight laugh.
"Of course Oniichan". "Just don't carry me", she thought. Eriol went down first then after that Tomoyo. When she jumped down her right leg almost lost its balance but a good thing she holds on Eriol's shoulder for support.
"You okay little sis.?" Eriol asked. She nodded, shyly. "Well then let's go". They went to a shed for a while…spending some time.
"I remember my twenty-three year old suitor…"Tomoyo began. Eriol looked at her, shock.
"Twenty-three year old!" she nodded and smiled. Liking the expression on his face.
"When I first meet him he was wearing a cap", she taps his cap. "That's why I can't stop tapping your cap because of him. But…I almost fall for him…good thing I didn't". She paused realizing somebody is courting her too. Nathaniel is Sakura's supposed to be suitor but Sakura has a love one already. Why Tomoyo knew him? Sakura told Tomoyo to text Nathaniel that she can't text him for a while and the two get to know each other. Nathaniel was Rika's cousin and Sakura knew him coz' Sakura went with Rika to their province. And now Nathaniel is courting Tomoyo. "Oniichan I don't know what to do with Nathaniel…"
"He's still courting you?" he asked as he tilts his head. She nodded.
"Why don't you court him Oniichan?" she said with a slight laugh. Eriol also laughed.
"Okay I'll court him! Tell him that", he told her. She shook her head.
"I just don't know how to tell him I like…somebody else". Eriol looked at her, wanting to know more. "Never mind Oniichan".
"Okay if you say so. Let's go to Robinsons? It's so hot!" he said. She nodded. They walked again and when they reached the motor shop, a motorcycle was cornering their way. A group of people on the other side wanted to pass. Since it was only the two of them they let the others pass then after that they pass the narrow aisle. But she was so shocked of Eriol's action…he put his arm on her shoulder.
"I wonder if I'll see Kate today…I have a feeling I will…"Tomoyo began, trying to get her mind off of Eriol's arm.
"Your friend?" Eriol asked. She nodded.
"She's really beautiful although sometimes she doesn't want to be called that way. She taught me on how to play Soul Calibur II. And I thank her I have that talent on playing games like Soul Calibur II". She was thinking on some way to get Eriol's hand off of her shoulder. Rude but she doesn't feel comfortable. They went up to the overpass which is leading to Robinsons. They went to the ground floor coz' Eriol was looking at some clothes. He even saw his friend, says their going to dance on the stage. "Oniichan will you be my partner at the graduation ball?" she asked, testing him.
"Sure why not!" he exclaimed as they went out of the Mall and was leaning over the rail at the overpass.
"Are you sure you know how to dance like waltz? You can't dance like what you did in S.M. you know", she joke. He smiled.
"Of course I know. Trust me…"she just nodded. Then she changed topic.
"Oniichan why won't you court Fawn again?" she asked. Eriol looked at her, shocked.
"I already court her…but she didn't reply anything to me", was only he could say. She nodded as he looked at his watch. "Little sis. I can't stay coz' I didn't ask permission to my Dad that I will stay long and we have a game this three o'clock".
"What game?"
"Basketball…just me and my friends!"
"Can I go with you Oniichan? I don't want to go home", Tomoyo asked.
"Sure and my Dad will kill me", he replied with a slight laugh. Tomoyo just looked at him.
"Meaning…you can't bring a girl to your house right? How sad…just kidding Oniichan". Suddenly somebody touched Tomoyo's waist. When she looked around she saw it was her Oneesan Zenobia…a second year college in their school which she became friends with. "Oneesan where are you going?" she was with her friend.
"Somewhere with my friend", Zenobia replied. Tomoyo nodded.
"You're not going out with your boyfriend Oneesan?" she shook her head. "Bye Oneesan!"
"Bye Tomoyo". She watched them walked away as she looked back to Eriol.
"She's really pretty and her boyfriend must be lucky", she looked at the time when he didn't say anything. "You're going Oniichan? I'll walk with you to where you would ride a jeepney".
"Yeah I'm going little sis. But I rather walked to where you would ride a jeepney". The lass shook her head.
"I don't want to go home yet", she replied. He nodded as they went down to the over pass and walked to where he would ride a jeepney. Since there was no jeepney yet Eriol sat down as Tomoyo was standing up. They didn't say anything but feel comfortable about the silence they had. Tomoyo tapped Eriol's cap one last time as the jeepney that Eriol was about to ride had finally arrived. He stood up and touched Tomoyo's chin.
"Take care little sis. Go home after I'll be gone okay?" he said. She blushed but shook her head. "You're really hard headed. Take care little sis."
"Bye…"he rode into the jeepney before she continued…"Oniichan". He waved inside the jeepney as Tomoyo walked over to the overpass to get to the other side. She rode a jeepney to S.M. and she saw Kate there. Not for long Fawn, together with her Mom and sister went to S.M. Tomoyo played together with Kate for a little while then after that went with Fawn and told her what happened between them and Eriol. She was also shy because Fawn's Mom bought her some snacks. After that she rode a jeepney and said goodbye to Fawn's family. And also…there's a smile on her face…
To be continued…
