Brush Tips: Chapter 2 First Day Back

"Please welcome a new student to Tomoeda High School this year, Eriol Hiragazawa," announced Hayase-sensei.

All the girls craned their necks to get a better view as a lean, well-built boy came in that exact moment, bowing handsomely in front of them all. His navy blue hair hung down , obscuring his handsome face.

"Tomoyo Daidouji, please show Eriol around today and answer any questions he may have about our school. Eriol, your seat in homeroom will be behind Tomoyo's"

Eriol walked over Tomoyo, as the rest of the class's eyes followed him. 'She seems really different, he thought to himself. With a flourish, he took her hand and bent to give it a kiss.

"Good to see you again, Tomoyo-san," Eriol said.

'He did recognize me. I almost forgot that we started being on first name terms.' She looked up at him. 'His eyes still have that boyish glint,' she thought to herself. But then she turned away, afraid to betray her tired self to Eriol, and she muttered, "Good to see you, too, Hiragazawa-kun."

Eriol mentally frowned. 'She hasn't called me that in a long time…'

But he pushed his feeling of worry aside as Sakura greeted him from the desk next to him as he sat down.

"How are you, Eriol-kun? We've missed you so much!"

Eriol glanced at dark figure sitting right in front of Sakura. The boy there had his head on his desk, and had covered his eyes. But the amber hair was still enough of a clue to Eriol as to who he was.

"So, how have you been, my cute little descendant?"

A groan issued from the figure's direction, and Eriol's smile only widened.

"I've missed you too, Syaoran."

The day passed quickly. Tomoyo was in all the top classes, so Eriol was placed in the same classes as her. Both of them quickly returned to the atmosphere they had before Eriol left for England. Chiharu and Takashi had already greeted Eriol, and Chiharu had already bopped her boyfriend over the head for his first story of the day. Tomoyo was able to keep away the flood of girls who wanted to see Eriol until lunch

One step into the cafeteria, and Eriol was suddenly bombarded. Over the crowd, he searched for Tomoyo, as he gave a forced smile to the girls who were pushing and jostling to get a better view. Finally, a mess of raven hair came into view, and he began navigating his way through.

Tomoyo felt a warm hand close over hers, and was suddenly pulled through the crowd, and burst out into the courtyard. Eriol's boyish visage came into view, and she relaxed her tense body.

"Mou, you surprised me!"

"Just had to get away from the mob," replied Eriol, who was now looking for a place to hide. He found one suitably obscured by a looming tree. Eriol flopped down on the ground, evidently exhausted from the great escapade.

"Have a seat, milady." He flourished and patted on the ground next to her.

Tomoyo felt her face heat up as she watched Eriol start to eat.

'Why'd he bring me here?'
