Tomoyo was perfectly poised as all expected of the daughter of a major toy and technology company should be as she bowed her head to her driver and body guard, Ms. Sato, on the sidewalk at the front gates of the school.
“Have a nice day, Sato-san,” she said, her voice a gentle cadence, one that always made people think she was way softer than she actually was. “I’ll be walking home with Sakura after school, so you don’t have to come pick me up. Thank you.”
As soon as the car drove away and she crossed the threshold of the high school gates, however, she began skipping towards the entrance, her body unable to cover up the excitement that squeezed at her chest.
Oh, what a secret did she have to share.
She giggled to herself as she switched into her indoor shoes and double checked her tote bag to make sure she did not somehow forget her digital camcorder.
It honestly had to be fate. The same day her new camcorder arrived in her mother’s arms, the very first night she upgraded to the newest, most high quality digital capturing capabilities, she captures something this unique and amazing? Her cheeks flushed as her heart buzzed, an imitation of last night. She wasn’t sure what message the universe was sending her, exactly, but wow, was it something big.
The classroom was only half full as there was still almost 15 minutes before the bell rang, and Sakura was missing as well, as she had suspected. She uttered a friendly hello at the small clutters of classmates as she walked to her desk towards the back corner of the room, and carefully hung her tote bag on the side of her desk before taking a seat.
She pulled out a textbook and pretended to read, so that no one would approach her, so that when Sakura came, they could be alone for the reveal of the secret. She felt slightly bad as she noted her friends coming in through the classroom door, but did not acknowledge them. She couldn’t risk it.
She really hoped Sakura would arrive before the bell. She wasn’t sure if she had it in her to hold on to the secret until lunch time if Sakura didn’t make it to chat before their homeroom teacher came.
Then, the familiar voice of her best friend, greeting the class as she walked into the room. With five minutes left before the bell!
“Sakura!” Tomoyo squealed, almost jumping out of her seat in excitement but catching herself the last minute (she still had an image to uphold with her classmates, after all). She managed to stay in her seat, and instead waved and grinned at the short-haired girl as she walked toward her.
Normally she would have waited until Sakura had settled into her seat to speak to her, but she couldn’t keep it in any longer.
