Author's Note: I don't think I fully understand what Tatu's song 'Perfect Enemy' is about, but this is a rough interpretation of what it makes me think of. I generally don't like song fics very much, but I don't think this is one, as such. I only quote two lines from it in the start so that people who haven't heard the song will know what I mean. If you want the full lyrics, Google it.
Second person point of view – Sakura's.
Keep yourself away, far away from me
I'll forever stay your perfect enemy
-Tatu, Perfect Enemy
---
You fight with her, you hate her because if it.
She's arrogant, she thinks she's everything.
You hate the way she can be so damn confident, with such easy grace. Others have to work for even half the elegance she has, and she acts like it's her god-given right.
She has boys lining up to be with her, she has girls wanting to be her. Sometimes you are one of them.
You hate the way she always looks down on you, the way she doesn't say it- but it's in her eyes.
She's always the loudest, if not vocally, then visually. She flicks her long blonde hair at you, and it's all you can do not to sneak up on her one day and cut off all those silver strands.
You hate the fact that she liked him first.
She competes with you for his attentions.
You wish she would drop this façade, that she would stop pretending like she cares about him.
She shows off her infatuation just that little bit too much for it to be true.
You are afraid that it's real - and that you are the one deluded.
She makes you sick, the way she bats her eyes at him, watching out of the corner of her vision to see if you're watching, if you're jealous.
You don't like being around her, it makes you feel like she's laughing at you. Whatever you're doing, she'll always find a way to put you down.

They always say, those who put you down are the ones most insecure about themselves.
In her case, you don't think she even knows the meaning of the word 'insecure' - she is totally sure of herself. The reason you think she puts you down is because she can. Because it gives her something to do.
You hate her with everything you have because of everything she has.

And...

The worst thing is that she's your friend.
The worst thing is that sometimes she's fun to argue with.
The worst thing is that sometimes you like spending time with her.
The worst thing is that you wish you were more like her.
The worst thing is that you really don't hate her that much.
The worst thing is that you don't know what it is you think of her...
---
But very worst?
---
...The very worst thing is that you suspect.
Authors Note: reviews would be appreciated, of course, but I wrote this for myself, not for reviews. So if you think its crap, or short, or whatever, you can tell me, but honestly, it won't bother me too much because I got what I wanted out of this fic, and that was release.
PS: I wrote this with 'Perfect Enemy' on loop. ... I'm strange.
