Chapter 1
The phone rang incessantly. Tomoyo eyed it murderously, holding a handy-looking baseball bat. She knew that she was overreacting but she couldn't help it at the moment.
"Don't you dare smash that phone!" Her roommate screamed, rushing from the doorway. "The one you broke last night was the twelfth one. This will be the thirteenth and it's an unlucky number."
Tomoyo pondered at Sheila's wild notion of what is unlucky. "Well then, why don't you get that new one that mom sent you so we can smash them together? That way we'll automatically get to the number fourteen which I don't believe is an unlucky number."
The silver-haired woman laughed but stood between Tomoyo and the phone. "Who do you think is on the line, anyway?"
"Li." She muttered, glaring back at the phone.
Sheila shook her head. "Honey, don't tell me that you still can't get over what happened. You were a child and you fell in love with a girl, A GIRL Tomoyo! She was even your best friend AND COUSIN!"
Tomoyo glared at her.
"Come on, I've been your roommate for more than three years since you transferred from that little town of yours. I know that you are a not a lesbian – no offense intended to those who are – and you even fell in love with that hunk, Tony."
"Touya." She corrected. "He's Sakura's brother and I was never in love with him."
"Right." Sheila dismissed her words. "And even before that you went steady with his friend, Mosquito, for two years."
"His name is Yukito and we went out only for a few weeks. I was helping him get back with Touya."
"WHAT!" Sheila screamed. "Are you telling me that those two hunks are really gays and that they're in love with each other?"
Tomoyo merely snorted, very unladylike.
"Oh please, Tomoyo tell me that they're not."
"Only to humor you." Tomoyo sighed. "They've been like that since, since forever."
It was Sheila's turn to remain silent and she did so while growing pale. "Why do I always fall in love with gay men?" She lamented. "Really, Tomoyo, I thought they were just extra sweet and really, really sensitive, do you get what I mean? I thought they were just a bit different from the others!"
"Sheila..."
"Ughn!" The silver-haired woman kicked the phone. "Damn Li, Syaoran! Damn Touya and Mosquito!" She then resorted to banging the receiver on the wall.
Tomoyo sighed and returned to her room.
Well, at least she took care of the phone. Unlucky number, eh? She'd be really foolish if she ever did believe that.
"Sheila, honey..."
"Go away!" Sheila screamed. "Just get your filthy hands off me!"
"It's not what you think." Eriol tried to soothe his girlfriend's anger. "Danny just asked me to help him choose what he could wear for that dinner party that you planned. I-"
"Oh, don't give me that crap." She hissed, slamming the door to his face.
He was tempted to use his magic to open the door but he knew that the girl didn't like things out of the ordinary so he stood there knocking. "Come on, Sheila, open the door."
"GO AWAY!" She screamed.
"I'm not going away till you hear me out. I mean it Sheila, I'm NOT GAY!" He rolled his eyes.
"Right! And you were just helping him with the necktie." She screamed again.
"Yes I did." He yelled, hearing her storm into her room. "It's not my fault that the guy didn't know how to put the damn tie on."
"You we're kissing!" She screamed angrily. "You were that CLOSE!"
"There was-"He caught the bottle of perfume he sent her before it hit his forehead. Looking up, he saw his girlfriend glaring at him.
"Here!" Sheila threw a bear. Then a box of week-old-roses, another stuffed toy, and a large box of letters. "Take it and just leave!"
"B–But..." He couldn't believe it. Nobody had ever dumped him before. And mistake him for a gay at that.
"Go!" She yelled pointing towards the gate.
Eriol stared at the gate noticing that a small crowd of audience had gathered. He muttered a string of curses and glared at her. "I'm not gay!" He yelled. Angrily, he stormed towards the gate but paused midway. He suddenly glared at Sheila and threw the perfume at the door.
It opened, and Eriol blanched as he saw the bottle lunge towards the unsuspecting Tomoyo.
