Sunohara was relaxing on his dorm bed, head resting on his hands.
"Oi, Okazaki." He called out .
Tomoya who was lying by Youhei's table casually looking through some manga books. "What?"
"How do you do it man?" Sunohara asked.
Tomoya looked at him, having no idea what he's talking about. "What are you talking about? Do what?"
Sunohara lifted himself up to sit, "how do you get girls to like you so much?"
"You mean like me as a friend or like me like me?" Tomoya asked already knowing what Sunohara meant.
"Like you like you!" Sunohara blurted. "Seriously, even before you started dating Nagisa, EVERY girl has had her eyes out for you."
"I think you're getting the wrong idea." Tomoya responded nonchalantly as he returned his attention to his manga.
"Oh yeah?" Sunohara raising an eyebrow.
" Kyou and her sister Ryou have been all over you last semester, making you those fancy dandy boxed lunch... Kotomi had a crush on you since the two of you were kids, and Tomoyo gets all close, concern and caring. She use to wake you up every morning so you wouldn't be late to school and make you breakfast remember?"
"Hey she woke you up on occasions too." Tomoya responded still focusing on his manga.
"Yeah cause you made her. She didn't do it out of concern for me." Sunohara said as he laid back down on the bed.. pouting.
A few seconds of silent entered the room as Sunohara tried to think of other similar occasions.
"OH! And the time when everyone made lunch for you when you were suspended!" Sunohara said. "If that doesn't show that they like you, I don't know what else will."
Sunohara continued to sulk. "I just don't get why they all hate me."
"Hmmm.." Tomoya taking a second to think. "Maybe it's because you're a pervert."
"Eh?" Sunohara blurted. "Big deal, all guys are perverts. Even if they don't show it."
"I guess it would be better if you didn't show it then." Tomoya closing his manga book and getting up to sit.
"I wouldn't say that this is a bad thing, but you tend to clown around a little too much."
Sunohara was a little surprised by that.
"Pfft. That's just who I am. Besides if I don't make this dump a more lively place, who will?" Sunohara said while giving a smirk.
"True..." Tomoya thought to himself.
"First off with Kyou, you only think she hates you because she thought you were picking on Ryou... Hell, even I had my fair share of dodging flying books remember?" Tomoya explaining to Sunohara.
"Hmmm... True true." Said Sunohara.
Tomoya continued. "And besides, when the drama club needed an advisor, it was your idea to challenge the basketball team in order to prove our point to the choir club ."
"Without you coming up with ideas, the drama club would've never been revived. Kyou and Nagisa found that pretty commendable and asked me to tell you that."
"WHAT?" Sunohara yelled shockingly "That was months ago! How come you're telling me this now?"
"Err... must've slipped my mind." Tomoya responded
Sunohara thought that he would've been use to Tomoya's cheeky antics by now.
"Anyways... As with Tomoyo you kept pestering her about being a guy remember?"
"... I.. well I accepted the fact that she was a girl later on didn't I?" Sunohara responded.
"Not to mention you always bug other girls during events, which led Tomoyo to kick you regardless." Tomoya said.
"What?" Sunohara going back into his thoughts, trying to remember any occasions where that happened.
"I never got kicked by Tomoyo during those events... only by that asshole who wore that stupid bear costume." Sunohara said.
Tomoya gave Sunohara a blank stare. "Seriously? ...Man you are slow... Who else can kick you like that?"
Sunohara closed his eyes, trying to piece it together... putting the puzzle together... "Can't think of anyone."
Tomoya had no response. Completely dumbstruck.
Sunohara's eyes suddenly popped wide open. "WHAT THE FREAKING *#%**#! It was freaking Tomoyo wasn't it?!" He yelled as he jumped to his feet.
"Gold star" Tomoya responded.. Still baffled at how dense his friend is.
Tomoya continued. "Anyways, you did help her win the student council elections."
"The only thing I did to help her was in her match against the baseball team." Sunohara responded.
"It's still weird though. One minute she can't even throw a straight pitch and then the next she's striking out batters after batters. MY FACE SUFFERED FOR IT!"
Tomoya chuckled. "Well I did tell her to aim at your annoying face." Tomoya said under his breath.
"What was that?"
"Crap!" Tomoya thought to himself. "Err.. I said that only a tough resilient guy like you can take that many hits to the face."
Sunohara nodded as he laid back down on his bed. "Well I am pretty resilient aren't I?"
"... So gullible." Tomoya said to himself. "On the other hand, despite you always picking fights with her, she always did found you to liven up her day?"
Those words caught Sunohara's attention.
"Huh? Really?"
"Yea. Most of the time the school days are pretty boring and stressful.. Especially if you're the student council president. At least with you challenging her, it made her day more interesting." Tomoya said.
"Did she really say that?" Sunohara asked curiously.
"Yup."
"...Again... Why are you telling me this now?!" Sunohara asked scratching his head furiously.
"Must've slipped my mind." Tomoya responded calmly.
" #%$*%$#**$ #!"
"KEEP IT DOWN WOULD YA!" A loud voice screamed after a huge bang vibrated through the wall which made Sunohara jump out of his bed.
"You wouldn't want to upset the rugby team again would you" Tomoya asked while grinning.
"Tsk, they don't scared me." Sunohara said after regaining his composure. "You see? I'm the only one who can make this place more lively for everyone." He said while giving his signature smirk.
Tomoya laid back down to open his manga books.
"See? No one hates you, so just relax would you?"
Sunohara went back to his bed and sat down. After a few minutes of silent Sunohara asked..
"Do you think I'm a bad guy?"
Tomoya looked up. A little surprised that Sunohara would ask such a question.
"I mean, even though you said I sometimes liven up Tomoyo's day, do you think I'm a bad person for picking fights with her in the first place?... Even if it's just to get her attention?"
Tomoya now knowing why Sunohara asked that question, confidently responded.
"No."
Suddenly a bright light and a loud roar brought Sunohara back to the real world. In the middle of the crosswalk Sunohara saw a bike closing in just a few feet away from him.
With cat like reflexes he jumped back just in the nick of time before the bike zoomed past him.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING MORON!" Yelled the motorist as the tail light disappeared into the night .
"UP YOURS ASSHAT!" Sunohara yelled back while putting his fist up in the air.
As he regained his composure Sunohara was shocked when he realized that he had been spacing out since he left Tomoyo's house.
How long has he been lost in thought? Sunohara looked at the street signs to see that he's been walking for a while, but still hasn't arrived at his apartment yet.
He was only two blocks away however, so he kept a steady pace walking home. At this hour of the night the air should chill him to his bones. But since he was still warm from sparring, it didn't bother him much.
Sunohara had finally arrived to his apartment building. Still exhausted from his long day, he couldn't wait to get some sleep. He still had a party to attend tomorrow.
