A/N: Here's a fic based on truth. No joke. My life is one giant shojo manga. I don't typically read het fics, so slightly ironic that I'm writing one, but it kind of has to be this way in order for it to really work. This is written from Sakura's POV and won't have any hot, steamy lemons in it so don't get your hopes up. That might change later, but in all honesty, it's probably not going to happen.

AU in the real world. Possibly OOC, but what fic isn't really. Interesting? Not so much? Let me know if it's worth continuing.

*~*~* Prologue *~*~*

My life. What. The. Fuck. I don't like a guy for, I don't know, three, four years maybe? And the first guy I like since then is what? Possibly gay. Possibly bi. And then, possibly my COUSIN? If that's not a sign to give up, I don't know what is.

I should have stopped these feelings from forming long before this point. I saw the signs, but against my better judgment, I went on ignoring them. Funny how that works. You go through life abiding by the rules, following the signs and stopping when you think you should and everything, more or less, works out for you. It's just that one time you say "no, fuck the norm" that puts you in a world of chaos. Yeah okay, so maybe I'm over-exaggerating, but who the hell doesn't over-exaggerate their personal situations?

It all started when I met him. I was immediately attracted when I first laid eyes on him. Now that I think about it, I'm not really sure why. He's not amazingly handsome or incredibly cute. He's just… him. Not ugly. Not hot. Yet somehow, incrediblyappealing. I saw him before, I just couldn't remember exactly where. But when I walked into that office for my interview, I recognized his face from somewhere and was attracted to him all over again. Him? As my boss? I could definitelyget used to that. And lucky me, I got the job. Too bad not only did it come with his pretty face, but also a shit ton of drama.

Oh the drama. When will it end? I say I try to stay away from drama, and in all honesty, I really do. And yet I still somehow manage to throw myself into the midst of it all. But thus is the pattern of my life: hating something to the point of near avoidance, and then somehow ending up side by side with said hated object. Wonderful. Fan-fucking-tastic if you ask me.

And now here I am: a lost, confused mess of mixed up emotions and thoughts running so fast I can hardly keep up. If only I hadn't given into the pull that dragged me under…

*~*~* Chapter 01 Preview *~*~*

Summer started innocently enough. I had my good friend by my side, laughing and joking as we always did, and I had my attractive boss who I got to see first thing every morning during our training week. The staff all seemed like a bunch of sarcastic fun and jokes all around. It was shaping up to be a great summer. How could I have been so naïve? Throw a bunch of girls and a couple of gay guys in a group and that's just asking for drama. Two straight guys. That's all we had to counteract the madness. And one of them was always MIA with his girlfriend. Not enough testosterone in the mix if you ask me. No one asked, but I was still right.
