4 It's really odd having a friend that's completely obsessed with you.
|
rlm@2
|
5 But you know what? For years, I took it for granted. I figured it to be yet another odd fact about my best friend,
|
rlm@2
|
6 Tomoyo. It's not as if that were her only unique trait, and I wasn't the only one writing her off that way. The girl had
|
rlm@2
|
7 bodyguards, for crying out loud. Anything out of the ordinary that she said or did was chalked up to being just one
|
rlm@2
|
8 more eccentric trait of the rich.
|

|
9 Sometimes, she really made me freak out. Particularly with the more 'creative' and 'liberal' costumes she made for
|
rlm@2
|
10 me, when Kero-chan and Syaoran weren't there with us. Those times, she'd spend hours with me, filming, even if we
|
rlm@2
|
11 weren't doing anything more than talking. If it got too nerve wrecking for me, I might suggest my discomfort in a
|
rlm@2
|
12 vague facial expression. I didn't mean for her to notice, but somehow-- back then I didn't know how-- she always
|
rlm@2
|
13 understood everything I did or didn't say. "Don't be embarrassed," she'd reassure me, filming camera still in hand,
|
rlm@2
|
14 "not in front of me."
|
rlm@2
|
15 I never really minded the way she made me her life.
|
rlm@2
|
16 She wouldn't be Tomoyo any other way.
|
rlm@2
|
17 I'll admit it. I'm naive. It took me forever to figure out half the people who were in love with me. And of those,
|
rlm@2
|
18 Tomoyo was the last. I wonder why? She was the most obvious one about it. Perhaps because it was so natural to
|
rlm@2
|
19 me. I knew that the moment I walked into my classroom, the first one to greet me would be Tomoyo. Like a law of
|
rlm@2
|
20 science or something.
|
rlm@2
|
21 Another reason it took me so long was that it never occurred to me that people liked me or anything. Really! It just
|
rlm@2
|
22 never struck me. I must have been to stuck on thoughts about Yukito-san. Speaking of which, I think that's about
|
rlm@2
|
23 when I started figuring things out. That day I told Yukito-san, 'I love you.' Things fell into place after that.
