Chapter 3

Seijyo Private Highschool was what most people called 'a perfectly good highschool with an excellent educational and recreational system.' Teachers called it 'the office', while students called it 'HELL'.

The classroom of 3-2 was noisy, crowded with students. A weary-looking Eriol was slumped over his desk, his head in his arms.

FLASHBACK

After finally separating Syaoran and Eriol, everybody decided to sit down for a nice warm cup of hot chocolate by the fireplace. Yes, Syaoran had changed from his, er, gay attire into something more convenient, and Sakura's arm was draped tenderly across his shoulder. Btu he still shot a multitude of deadly glares to his ancestor seated across him.

"So, Eriol, have you got any idea what the side effects of this, um, over-spell casting are", asked Sakura. Syaoran merely grunted, while all the guardians just blinked. Simultaneously, too.

Earlier in the evening, while Eriol was still out cold, everybody had tried to figure out why he fainted. They came to the conclusion that too much spellcasting was the root of the problem. The question now was exactly what spells had he been casting.

"I have no idea, Sakura," answered Eriol.

"I hope you won't mind my asking, but what spells have you been casting so much that you faint due to sheer exhaustion?" Yue asked quietly.

Okay, Eriol, say that the spells you've been casting are merely for CHORES. I repeat, CHORES. Do not say anything about casting spells to freeze time just so you can admire Tomoyo without anyone noticing, said Eriol's brain.

"I've been casting about 8 time-freezing spells a day so I can admire my lovely Tomoyo's delicate and angelic features without anyone noticing," said Eriol's mouth. Hearing what he just said, he banged his head on the table, while everybody laughed uproariously. Heck, Syaoran was laughing the loudest. This practically made up for the 'incident' a while ago.

"Eriol, I swear you must have hit your head when you fell down!" said Nakuru. "Because the Eriol I know would never be so straightforward and blunt. I mean, he would have said that they were for CHORES! Imagine, ERIOL doing CHORES!" Nakuru was positively rolling on the floor with laughter.

Upon hearing her words, the entire room fell silent. Except for Nakuru and Kero, who were laughing like there was no tomorrow, everyone else finally realized what was wrong with the young mage. ALL HE COULD TELL WAS THE TRUTH!

END FLASHBACK

"Ohayo!" The voice caused Eriol to look up. He smiled, because Sakura and his cute little descendant had FINALLY made it to school. If only they knew what torture he had been through while waiting for them. First of all, Yamazaki had gone on a fibbing spree AGAIN. And it was about his FAVORITE subject, too!

So there he sat miserably, while Yamazaki had gone on and on and on and on about unicorns. And when Yamazaki finally turned to him for support on the 'fact' that unicorns were once rulers of the Earth, and were now into hiding because their mortal enemies, the mosquitoes, had outnumbered them, all he could say was "Unicorns are mythical creatures. THEY DON'T EXIST!"

He wanted to say that unicorns were originally fruits, yeah, but NOOOOOOOOO, he had to be an idiot who cast too many spells and now had to face his consequences.

Oh, the pain in Yamazaki's eyes (his eyes?) was too much to bear. Everybody had stood there in disbelief over the traitorous act he had done. They knew Yamazaki was just poking fun, put they could hardly believe that Eriol BETRAYED him!

So they snubbed him as they comforted the crying Yamazaki.

"Eriol, I'm sorry we're late, but it was all TOYA'S BLOODY FAULT! He had to make me wash the breakfast dishes…." apologized Sakura as she sat down at her desk. "….I hope it's okay with you," she continued, giving him an apologetic glance.

Eriol wanted to say that it was okay, but his mouth said otherwise.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET ME SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THESE PEOPLE!" he shouted.

"Why, you little…." growled Syaoran. Syaoran started to reach for Eriol's neck, but luckily, Sakura stopped him just in time. "Syaoran, remember that Eriol can't help but tell the truth," she whispered fiercely.

The door suddenly slid open, and in came Terada-sensei. "All right, class, settle down."

The day couldn't have been worse for Eriol. Every time he was asked why he didn't do his homework, he said that he flushed it down the toilet because he hated school. This earned him a lot of trips to the principal's office, and the rest of the class just tittered with nervous giggles. Including Syaoran, of course. It was nice to see the tables turned for once.

So now Eriol was on his way home from school. Nobody wanted to walk with him, mainly because today he was labeled as 'the guy with PMS'. His fan club was avoiding him ever since he shouted at them in the lunch room earlier that day, so he kind of missed the company. He kept his gaze on the road, only looking up when he heard Sakura call his name.

"Eriol! Wait up! I have something important to tell you!"

Eriol stopped and waited for Sakura to catch up.

"Guess what! Tomoyo's coming back tomorrow! She won first place, and to celebrate, she's having a party at her mansion!" said the Card Mistress. "You're invited of course," she continued slyly. "And it will be a perfect opportunity for you to confess your love for her!" And with these words, she turned away and started going her own way, laughing maniacally.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
