Chapter 2: The plan

A group of 7 teenagers are standing by the beach while admiring the beautiful sea. They are Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol, Chiharu, Naoko, Takashi and Rika. They played, laughed and talked there.

After a game of volleyball, they sat on the benches and drink their beverages. Eriol asked them if they want to play a very fun game. "Yes!!!" they answered in unison. "Let's play truth or dare" he said with a smirk, a mysterious glint in the eye and his enigmatic aura (A/N: I LOVE YOU, ERIOL!!!... Sorry, can't stop the fan girl side of my brain). "Okay! I'll just get a bottle" Yamazaki said. When he returned, he handed the bottle to Chiharu and they started the game. Tomoyo spun the bottle and when it stopped, it pointed to Sakura. 'Looks like fate is on my side' Eriol thought. "Truth or dare?" Tomoyo asked excitedly. "… Truth" Sakura replied uncertainly. "Who do you like in our previous boy classmates?" Chiharu asked with curiosity. "Ahmm…" she started. She looked around while thinking of what to say. Getting more and more nervous each second, she blushed when she saw Eriol looking at her(A/N: She is just embarrassed. She does not like Eriol… yet) Her gaze was then suddenly locked with Eriol's gaze. While looking at his orbs, she remembered their plan.

(Flashback)

Sakura lie down on her bed while thinking of ways on how to get Tomoyo and Eriol be together. 'They will be a very cute couple!!!' she thought. She daydreamed about them.

Her thoughts were disturbed by the ringing of their telephone. Touya answered it then yelled, "Monster!! There's a call for you! It's a brat!" "Brother, I'm not a monster! And not all boys are brat so stop calling them that!" Sakura replied while running to their living room.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Sakura! Can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure! What is it?"

"You just need to pretend to like me and I will pretend that I like you"

"WHAT?!! Why would we do that?!"

"Okay, I think I said that very directly. How can I say this?... you know that I like Tomoyo, right? And you said that she only notice her 'projects'. So… I decided that in order for her to notice me, I need to be her 'project'. The perfect way to do that is to act like I like her best friend. Is it okay?"

"I don't know. I don't want to fool Tomoyo… but I do want her to have a love life. Well… I can do what you want but how can we become her projects?"

"I haven't thought of that. Do you know what Rika or Chiharu did to become her projects?"

"Tomoyo just noticed that Rika and Mr. Terada likes each other while Chiharu and Takashi told us that they liked each other during a truth or dare game…"

"Wait! That's it! We can play truth or dare on the beach get-together on Sunday and then if they asked us who we like, we will tell that we like each other"

"But-"

"Please…"

Sakura agreed to their deal. She must admit that she had some feelings for him when they were in 2nd year but it has worn off already because she discovered that Eriol like Tomoyo.

(End of flashback)

"I like… Eriol-kun" she answered then she sighed. The group was shocked except for Eriol. "Kawaii!!!" Tomoyo squealed. "Why didn't you told me that earlier?" she added. Everybody just sweat drop with Tomoyo's usual reaction while Eriol grinned victoriously. 'My plan is obviously working.' he thought.

After the get-together, Tomoyo told Eriol that she cannot accompany Sakura to her house so he might want to escort Sakura. He agreed to do it (for his dear Tomoyo). "Arigatou, Sakura-chan." Eriol said, out-of-the-blue. "It's alright, I just want Tomoyo to find a boy for her and not to just think of other's relationships." Sakura answered. "You're really a kind person, Sakura-chan." He remarked which made her blush. When they reached her house, they said goodbye to each other and Eriol thanked Sakura again.

After a few days, class started. Some are excited while some are sad or nervous. Let's take the two girls who are best friends as an example. The amethyst-eyed one is excited because she had found another project while the auburn-haired girl is nervous because she and Eriol will start their act today.

They looked at their schedules and they discovered that they only share one subject which means they wouldn't have enough time to talk, unlike their high school days but at least, they have the same schedule for lunch.

They went to their first classes. When Tomoyo arrived at her first subject, she immediately saw Eriol sitting at one corner while reading a book. "Hiragizawa-kun!" she called him out. "Ohayo Gozaimasu, Daidouji-chan" he replied, politely. She sat beside him while thinking of what to say. "Hiragizawa-kun, I was just thinking… you're house is near to my house, right? Why don't you join me and Sakura-chan in walking to school?" Tomoyo proposed. "I would love to." He answered with his all-knowing smile.

'If I didn't know that this would happen, I would have jumped for joy but I know that this is only the beginning of our friendship, Tomoyo-chan.' He thought while their professor was writing something about Asian history on the board. When the professor looked at his students, he saw that Eriol was daydreaming so he called him.

"Hiragizawa-san…"

"Hai, sensei?"

"What are the first civilizations in Asia and where did they live?"

"You haven't taught us about that but it is-"

"Okay, I was just testing you. You may sit"

"I also thought you weren't listening" Tomoyo whispered to him. "Actually, I wasn't listening. I just know that he uses that technique to his students who aren't listening." Eriol witted. "Brilliant, Hiragizawa. Fascinating indeed" Tomoyo said. He blushed because of the compliment but regained his composure fast to make sure that no one will see him like that. (A/N: I mean, Eriol and Blushing? Those words are antonyms!).

After class, they walked together to their next class. "What is your next class?" Tomoyo asked. "here, look at my schedule" he answered then handed her his schedule. She compared their schedules and then said, "Wow, we share five classes out of seven subjects. That's… amazing" Hearing this, his eyes widen because he cannot believe that they have five identical classes. He didn't even plan that part because he didn't discover her schedule until now and he just chose the classes that appeal to him. That shows how similar they are.

When lunch came, Tomoyo invited Eriol to eat with them. They sat outside, near the cherry blossoms trees. "The cherry blossoms are really beautiful" Eriol commented. (A/N: Sakura means cherry blossoms) Tomoyo smiled because of this and whispered to Sakura, "I think he's pertaining to the trees and to you". Sakura thought of it but she just shrugged it off because she knows that he is just acting. They opened their lunch box and showed it to each other. "Sakura-chan, did you cook that?" Eriol asked. "Y-yes" Sakura answered. "You're really a good chef, Sakura-chan" Tomoyo praised. "Not really, my dad helped me" Sakura said while blushing. "at least you cooked it. You're still a good and beautiful chef" Eriol admired. Sakura blushed but didn't say anything while Tomoyo grinned widely and thought, 'As long as Sakura-chan is happy, I am happy too'

After class, they went home together but since they need to separate ways in the cross road; Tomoyo told Eriol that he needs to accompany Sakura to her house so that she can be safe. "How about you? And Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-kun's house is at the same street as yours. I don't want to be a bother" Sakura asked. "I'm okay, I'll just ask my body guards to fetch me here and Hiragizawa-kun, It's okay if you go with her, right?" Tomoyo answered. "It's alright with me, we better get going" Eriol said. Tomoyo moved closer to Eriol and whispered, "This is your chance to get to know each other better" "arigatou" he muttered then they continued walking to Sakura's house.

"Why did you agree to walk with me? If you walked with her, you can be closer to her."

"She smiles because of simple things like this. I want to see her smile more often because it makes me happy too. I also want to express my gratitude to you. Arigatou."

They arrived in her house then they said their goodbyes.

'This is bad. I think my liking for Eriol-kun is going back!' Sakura thought. 'What about our plan?!'

Yatsuiko-chan: Yeah! What about their plan?! Will it be ruined? Or will it be successful?

FYI: Eriol is NOT USING Sakura. I do not call it that because he doesn't act so much. He merely goes with the flow so please don't judge him too quickly.

Yatsuiko-chan: There will be MANY twists in the next chapter. Three characters will arrive (two persons and one unknown thingy). And none of them are original characters (OC). You can guess who they are in your reviews…

They are a bit OOC, sorry. But here are their characteristics in this story:

Eriol- Hopelessly devoted to Tomoyo(That's the OOC part), Mysterious, polite, smart, plays piano, is a… -secret-(will be revealed in the next chapter)

Tomoyo- In love with someone(the person coming), obsessed with Sakura and matchmaking, smart, kind, good in singing, selfless, patient

Sakura- A little naïve but smarter than when she is in CCS. Not good in math, amazing in PE, best in dancing, short-tempered to her brother, energetic

Again, R&R!!!!!!
