Life used to be simple. My daily schedule used to consist of capturing unpredictable Clow Cards, striving to become the powerful Card Master, saving the world from a horrible disaster, and…school. Actually, thinking back on it, my life was never simple….but simpler.
Now my mind is being bombarded with images and memories of her, muddling my thoughts and complicating my existence. Clow Cards aren't my top priority any more. She is. But why? How did that happen? I can't let it happen.
I hear someone coming up to my desk. It sounds like a cheerful bounce, which could only mean one person…
"Good morning Li-kun!" How can she be so energetic this early in the morning?
"Morning." That came out as a mumble, like most things I say to her. Now whenever I talk to her, I hear my heart beating in my ears, seemingly pumping quadruple the normal amount of blood straight to my cheeks.
"There's a bear exhibit going on this Sunday, would you like to go?"
Bears? As in teddy bears? Now why would I want to go see some stuffed bears? I am Li Syaoran, warrior of the Li clan. Warriors don't like stuffed bears.
"Li-kun?"
And then, I make the mistake of looking into her eyes. I guess teddy bears could be kind of cute…Why do her eyes have to be so green? I can't resist her sparkling eyes. I can hear the rapid beating of my heart screaming at me to accept her invitation.
"Sure, I'll go."
"Really? I'm so excited!"
Then she walks away to share her excitement with Tomoyo, and I sit there with the vision of her shining eyes still clear in my mind.
No wonder green is my favorite color.
