~*Reader's Point of View*~
Sakura sat there playing with her pen as she struggled to write some more lyrics for her music. It was just something she did for fun. When she finally decided she wouldn't be able to think of anything else for the night, she threw the pen and paper she wrote on in her desk. She put on the radio and decided to listen to the music while looking over her lines for the next movie she would be doing while she lay on her bed. A movie with Li Syaoran… yet again. She sighed out loud as the thoughts that always came to her clouded her mind.
'Why can't they ever let me have a different co-star? And that other guy… I don't even remember his name. But I only hang out with him to piss Li off so maybe, just maybe he'd leave the set. But then again… I'd be stuck alone with… what's his name? Ah well. Maybe I should start being nice to him. But then again, if he weren't such a jackass, maybe things wouldn't be like this in the first place. Did he really have to do all of those horrible things to me and Hiiro back when we were in the ninth grade? I was 14 for heaven's sake! I wasn't even interested in boys back then! I wonder why he even did that in the first place…' Sakura thought to herself, but her train of thoughts were cut short when an abrupt knocking came to her door.
"Come in," Sakura called as she rolled on her stomach to see who it was. There before her stood the same Li Syaoran. "What is it Li?"
"I was thinking we could run lines together. We'll be starting with the actual set in three days, and we should get this one over and done with a lot faster than the last one. It took too long to actually shoot," he said to me as he sat in my chair.
"I guess so. But the only reason why it took so long last time was because that guy kept on freaking me out. He was always touching my waist and hugging me. The jackass," she said aloud while mumbling the last part.
"You mean Mamatsu?" He said venomously. Sakura looked at him worriedly.
"What's the whole deal with you and Mamatsu Li-kun? Other than the obvious… you guys seemed to have hated each other from day one," Sakura asked as he sighed.
"Well, we've always had this little rivalry going on. Ever since high school," Li replied to her.
"But he didn't go to high school with us," Sakura commented quite confused.
"No, he didn't. But, he went to Kyoto High," Li continued.
"Our rival school," Sakura finished off bitterly.
~*Tomoyo and Eriol~*
---Outside of Sakura's Room Door---
"They're actually having a civil conversation Eriol-kun!" Tomoyo squealed with joy as she hugged him lightly before returning to pressing her ear on the door.
"I know… at least they aren't arguing. They've been talking decently with one another for ten whole minutes. This is their record," Eriol said with a smile; his ear too pressed against the door. A moment later, Tomoyo sighed.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and…" Tomoyo waited before they heard a crash, Syaoran screaming and saw him running out the door while Sakura was shaking a fist after him. Sakura gave a glare to his retreating back before letting out an exasperated sigh, slamming the door behind her.
"Well… it was good while it lasted," Eriol said while he sweat dropped.
"Yup," Tomoyo agreed before the two went to the kitchen to get something to eat.
~*Later That Day*~
Syaoran was reading over his lines when suddenly, two small hands were placed over his eyes.
"Guess who?" A voice asked. He smirked as he grabbed them turning around.
"Kinomoto… I'm guessing you're no longer—" he began with his eyes shut. When he reopened them he had a cold look in his eyes as he threw her hands down, realizing who it really was. "What do you want Yei?"
"Haven't I made it obvious enough? I want you," the one known as Yei Amy whispered in his ear.
"Well he's made it obvious you aren't wanted here, so why don't you leave?" Sakura said to her as they both turned to look at her, while Sakura leaned against the doorframe of the door to leave the penthouse.
"Stay out of this Kinomoto bitch," Amy spat. At this, Sakura's smirk vanished and a cold look was placed on her features. Syaoran raised up her hands in defense, slowly backing away.
"I know better than to mess with Kinomoto when she's pissed off," was all he said, moving off to the side. Once he was out of the way, Sakura stalked over, and grabbed Amy's long red hair. Amy's silver eyes widened in shock as she was being dragged by her hair out of the door.
"The only bitch here is you. So keep your hoeish self away from where I live," Sakura spat at her once she was standing outside. At this Syaoran smirked.
'YES!! Maybe she'll stay away from me now!!' Syaoran thought to himself, filled with joy.
"If you want to stalk Mr. Li Syaoran, do it at the mall," Sakura said before giving an evil smirk while Amy fumed, slamming the door in her face. After that, Sakura calmly walked up to her room. Syaoran stood there looking like a little boy who lost his puppy.
"There goes that idea," he mumbled under his breath before going back to his lines. 'I wonder why she hates her so much…'
~*Sakura*~
"She screwed up my life once; I'm not going to let it happen again. She just gets me so mad Tomoyo!" Sakura cried as she squeezed the stress ball in her left hand.
"Why do you care so much if she's around him?" Tomoyo asked fixing a tear in one of the training shirts Sakura wore. Inside Tomoyo was smirking, but she wore an expressionless face on the outside. Sakura stopped for a moment before she began to walk even faster, squeezing harder.
"I don't care! I just don't like her! She's such a—" Sakura began but Tomoyo cut her off.
"Watch your language," Tomoyo said sternly in a motherly tone, throwing her the shirt." Go train, it will let some of the anger off."
"Right," Sakura sighed changing into it before walking into the gardens outside. 'I DON'T care if she's around him.' At that last thought, she broke the stress ball and threw it in the garbage.
Readers:
Sorry it took so long you guys, but it's here! I hope you all like it. I have no idea what to do with the story… but it looks like I'm going to have to get right into the action for this and make it a lot shorter *sigh* If you have any ideas at all, let me know. Thank-you so much to the people that reviewed the last chapter. It means a lot to me.
