We hated each other at first sight...
and then, I don't know what happened. It just did.
If only I could change my feelings, I would in a heartbeat.
Why am I so stupid to fall in love?
Fall in love...
with the last person in the world
I would have chosen.
When I was just a school girl, I used to be totally in love with Shakespeare. Reading his lines over and over, memorizing them, that was me. My absolute favorite was Romeo and Juliet, one of his best known works. Every time I read it, it touched my heart. So much that I wished one day, I could have someone who loved me that much in my life.
I never thought my wish would come true...
Not in that way. It was modern day Romeo and Juliet, except I didn't die. Nor did my Romeo. The plot was gone wrong. Gone insanely wrong.
My father was the CEO of a major computer company. Our logo was known world wide, as the best computers for less. We were the lead for several years until one of our biggest rivals screwed us over. Devestated by our loss for the lead, my power hungry father declared war on them.
Funny really, how 2 computer companies could declare war on each other. I, on the other hand, didn't care at all. Not even the tiniest bit. I was consumed in reading my trashy romance novels to put any interest in petty fights like that.
Well, that was until I met Syaoran Li, the most rudest human alive. I met him in a computer convention while my father and his mother were continuously glaring at each other from over the table top.
Totally oblivious to their silent bickering, I sat in utter quiet, reading a book. Then, I heard him laughing with his friends by the door. I didn't know who he was, and i didn't care. Then, he shouted, "That old Kinomoto fool, thinking he could round up people by coming here. Bet he'd fall over in his death bed by tommorrow. Can't realize when he's bankrupt!"
My fuming eyes looked up from my book. "My father is the strongest and most wonderful person in the world!" I yelled, enraged. "He was holding up our company beautifully until Li company's underhanded methods cheated us!"
"Our underhanded methods? Didn't you know YOUR father planted spies to get the plans for our new product?"
"He did not!" I said, eyes tearing slightly. How dare he say something so mean to my father when he didn't even know him!
One of his friends smiled slyly from the side. "It's a wonder how old gramps didn't screw over sooner."
That was the last straw. My fist was knotted and I was going to whoop those suckers until they screamed in pain. I jumped up, reading to kill them when one of the officials grabbed me.
"Young lady, what are you trying to do? Sit down this instant!"
My eyes never left those creeps. "I cannot. They insulted my father and they deserve punishment."
Syaoran Li and his friends scoffed at me. "Little girl, do what he says."
Everyones' eyes turned to me. Embarressed, I sat back down, still steaming with fury. I would get them back for this.
That was my first encounter with Syaoran Li, the son of our rival company's CEO. It was pretty mean on my part to say such things, but at that time, I thought his actions justified mine. I was determined to pay back every last thing he ever said about my father. Syaoran Li would pay dearly.

"Tomoyo!!!" Sakura Kinomoto yelled, running over to her best friend, grabbing her hands. "I haven't seen you in forever!!!"
"The Hawaiian islands were so beautiful!" She smiled, holding up a flowered necklace.
Sakura held it in her hands. "It's so beautiful..." she breathed.
"It's yours! Along with your new outfit to match it!!" Tomoyo said, excited. "I'll show you, and you can try it on!!!!!" She roamed her travel bag.
Sakura sweatdropped. "You'll never change Tomoyo."
"Ho ho ho!!!" she said, holding up a flowered outfit. "Try it on!"

Syaoran Li lounged in his chair, his feet resting on his furnished desk. His relentless eyes flamed, thinking of ways to get back at Sakura Kinomoto for that minor embarressment from the convention. Stupid Kinomoto costed them endless amounts of money. Now that their efforts made it to the top, Kinomoto was using drastic measures to drag them to the bottom. Well, they will not be fooled.
He would start with Fujitaka Kinomoto's daughter and work up from there. She will never be able to show her face around after his unfailing plan.
