"Eriol?!"

"Uhm…excuse me?"

"D-don't you remember me?"

"I don't think so."

"T-tomoyo Daidouji. Your friend when we were still elementary?"

"Tomoyo?! You're Daidouji-san?"

"Yes."

"Wow, you look so…different."

"How come you're here? I thought you were in England? And, didn't you see Sakura awhile ago in the guardhouse? Didn't you see Syaoran? ... didn't you see me?!"

"I didn't want to go to England yet. I'm having so much fun here in Japan. Sakura? Syaoran? Here? I didn't see her or him. And I didn't see you awhile ago."

"Oh…aha, so…you're Royal."

"… I'm who?"

"Nothing…." (blushes)

"I'm Royal?"

"No…." (red)

"Why are you blushing?"

(sweatdrop) "You know what, we are getting wet! Why don't we go inside eh?"

"Okay but, I've got to go now to the Covered Court."

"Okay."

"See you then!"

So, I went to the front building and looked for my section. I dried myself there and sat down. I placed my elbows at the table and I covered my face with my hands.

"Oh god, he's here."

Sakura came and saw me. She thought that I was crying so she went close to me and said,

"Tomoyo-chan, please tell me what's going on? I'm your friend right? (sniff)"

I looked at her and surprisingly, she was crying.

"W-what happen to you?"

"Oh, (wipes her tears) I thought you were crying so, I began to cry."

"I wasn't crying. Why would I cry?"

"You were sad since this morning!"

"Oh yah, about that. Sorry for worrying you like that."

"It's okay but, why are you so sad?"

"Mmmm….it's personal."

"Okay, I won't ask what it is. Tomoyo, just remember this."

"… What?"

"No matter what happens, I'm just here. Please don't be shy to approach me if you have problems. I can help. Besides, I'm your best friend and that's what best friends do."

"Arigatou Sakura-chan."

"Oh, by the way, Syaoran-kun saw Eriol-kun awhile ago in the Covered Court."

"Eeyah, about that too."

"…."

"I also saw him awhile ago."

"Really?! What happen?"

"Well, first of all, he hit me in the head with a basketball."

(eyes widened) "On purpose?"

"No. Of course not! Why would he do that?"

"Well sometimes, Eriol kids or tricks people."

"Yah but, he knows that if he tricks or teases me, I'm going to slap him in the face."

(laughs)

"Please continue."

After telling her what happened, Syaoran and Eriol went in the classroom.

"Speaking of the devil." (evil grin) Tomoyo said.

"Hi guys! Guess what! I'm here with my villainous friend." The brown headed guy smiled weirdly and pointed at Eriol.

"That not a nice thing to say my cute descendant." Eriol said with an evil grin.

"Shut up moron."

"Hi Eriol! We were just talking about you." Sakura said.

"Really? About me? That's a nice feeling." He replied back.

"Hmph, somebody's head is getting bigger." Syaoran mumbled.

"Uhummm, yes. Have you've been brushing your hair lately? Coz' it's getting bushier than I thought." Obviously, Eriol teased him with an evil grin again.

"You!" (Grabs Eriol's shirt)

"Syaoran!!! Stop!" Sakura shouted.

"He started it!" Syaoran pointed at the 'known to be the worst enemy of Syaoran"

"No, I think you started it." Eriol debated.

"Why you little…." Syaoran grabbed Eriol's shirt again

" Syaoran! Let go of him." His girl shouted again.

"He's been bugging me from the Covered Court up to here! And I had enough!" he shouted.

Sakura showed an angry face to Syaoran that kinda scares him.

"…. F-fine!" he said letting go of his villainous friend's shirt

Sakura smiled.

"Thank you. Anyway, what are you talking about?" Eriol said while fixing his uniform where Syaoran grabbed him. Syaoran grumbled.

"Oh yah. Tomoyo was telling me about what happened awhile ago." Sakura said.

" Sakura-chan!!!" Tomoyo shouted.

"Lol. It was a nice place where we met actually. Meeting in the rain." Eriol said.

"Yes. It's a very nice scene." Sakura thought so too.

Silence fell. I looked at Eriol slowly. He caught me glancing at him. He smiled at me. I felt my cheeks turned red so, just not to be obvious, I smiled and looked out the window.

"To break the silence, you want to go and eat? We still have time." Eriol suggested.

"Sure but, I won't eat. I just ate in the H.E club. They had free food there." Sakura said with a satisfaction of food.

"Yah sure. I'll come. I haven't eat yet." Tomoyo said.

"…. I'll go if Sakura will go." Syaoran said.

"Great! Let's go." The great villainous villain walked out and you could see Syaoran grinding his teeth with 'irritateness'.

We went to the canteen and ate. I ate California Maki, Syaoran ate Cloud 9, Eriol ate squid balls. Sakura just bought a bottled water.

"Hey, want to play truth or dare?" Sakura asked.

"Sure." Eriol replied.

Me and Syaoran agreed too.

"Okay, here's the rules. You can only pick dare for 3 times. If you said dare for 3 times, you need to pick truth for 14 times."

"Who's going to ask first?" Syaoran asked

"Good question." Eriol replied.

Syaoran's vein popped.

"First we spin the bottle. If this cap points to any of you, you're the first one who's going to ask. Then, we will spin the bottle again. Whoever this cap points he/she will be asked first. After she/he answered the question or does the dare, she/he would ask the question or tell the dare to the next person who's going to be pointed by the cap. If it's a dare, you need to do it for 50 seconds. If it's a question, you need to answer it for 20 seconds. If she doesn't do it or answer the question, she/ he will buy us ice cream at Ice Monster after school."

We all agreed. I was a bit nervous coz' they might dare me to point at my crush or to say who my crush is! I mean it is Eriol…I don't want him to know.

Sakura spun the bottle and it pointed to…herself.

"Oh! That's…nice."

She spun the bottle again and it pointed to me.

"Okay Tomoyo. (evil grin) truth or dare?"

"…uhmm…t-da-….."

"What?"

"Gah! What will I say? Truth or dare?"

"Tomoyo?"

"D-dare!"

"Nyahahahaha! Dare huh? Go to you crush and say that he's cute. No, actually, bring him here and say you like him."

"Whaaaaaaat??!!! Are you nuts?!!!"

"Come on! Go and do it! If you won't you will buy Ice cream for us."

"F-fine!"

I looked for a boy who looks cute enough to be my crush but, I didn't find any. Hence, I stood up, closed my eyes and whoever boy I bumped into, I'll say that I like him.

I walked straight with my eyes closed.

"Is Tomoyo okay? She looks dizzy." Eriol asked.

"I don't know… I think she is."

"She's not! She's pretending to be dizzy."

"Hmm…positive." Eriol agreed.

"Sakura, she walks straight the tables and bumps it!" Syaoran said.

"Ssshh!"

"Oof!"

"Uuuu…that hurts." The three of them said.

"Okay, is this a table? Yes…. Is this a chair? Yes…."

I was walking straight until my hands felt something smooth but hard.

"W-what's this? Human? Chair? Gah! Maybe I should open my eyes now."

When I opened my eyes, it was Ryo.

"Tomoyo, what are you doing?"

I couldn't speak. I was shocked.

"He…I'm…I'm going to tell them he's my crush??!!!! I'm going to tell him that I like him!!! Oh my gosh! What would he think of me after I tell him that??!!"

"Tomoyo!! Hurry up!!! Your time is almost up." Sakura shouted.

"I-I'm coming! I don't have a choice. Ryo…come!" (blushing hardly red)

I brought Ryo with me to our table. I faced him and looked at Sakura with a worrying

face.

"Go! Tell him! (giggle)"

"Tell me…what?"

I faced Ryo and I inhaled and exhaled. Very nervous,

"I…you…uhm…"

"…."

"I…." (tomato face)

"I…I…"

".???"

"I…I LIKE YOU!!!"

There was silence in that table. My eyes were closed and I didn't want to open them but, I need to see him. Is he shocked? Is he smiling at me? When I opened them and looked at him, he was sad.

"I-I like you too Tomoyo but, I love someone else."

(background: thunder sound and ripping page.)

Everyone was in the shock expression. Especially me….

"D-d-did he just blow me off? Busted? Oh gosh! I was just busted!"

"Tomoyo?"

"Y-yes?"

"Uhm…"

"I-it's okay really! It's fine. If your happy with that girl, I'm happy too."

"Thanks."

Ryo went back to his friends. I sat down and still surprise. Anger rose up my chest. I don't know why but I was really angry. Thinking that, I looked like a fool in front of him. Thinking that others will say that I am such a flirt to him, which I'm not, and saying that I'm BUSTED! That's embarrassing! A girl is suppose to bust the guy. Not the other way!

"Sorry Tomoyo. You were busted."

(vein popped) "BUSTED? WHO SAYS I'M BUSTED? I DIDN'T FLIRT TO HIM!!!"

"Yah, but he said that he loves someone else." Syaoran said.

"YAH I KNOW! I DON'T CARE! HE'S NOT MY CRUSH ANYWAY!"

(chibi style)

Silence fell again.

"What?! Hey, that's cheating!"

"I'm sorry! I'm just shy to tell my 'real' crush that I like him."

RIIINNNGGGGG

"We are not finish Tomoyo Daidouji! At lunch, you must bring him to us and tell him that you like him or you're going to buy us some ice cream!" Sakura summoned me.

"Hai."
