♠♥Lia's p.o.v.♣♦

It had been two weeks so everyone had heard of him by now.

When he first walked into my class he looked lost, confused, clueless.

We had one thing in common. I was confused as well, I would have been notified by father if there was a new student. That was one of the only things I could rely on from him.

My father is a quiet man, he is also very cunning when it comes to the things he wants. This allowed him to posses most of the business world. I did quite a lot of research into the ohtori business when I was younger, I mean I thought I was going to inherit it one day.

I found the basic things online, but if you really want to know about the dirty little secrets lurking behind locked doors all you had to do was listen closely at family parties. A little alcohol always loosens the tongue.

I used to love those parties, everyone always looked so beautiful, the champagne sparkling, the music was constant and dazzling. That all changed when I was seven.

*****flashback*****

I was wandering around in the halls of our house.

I was looking for Alexander and Julius they were my younger stepbrothers, alexander was born three years after I was and Julius five years after I was, to my stepmother Cordelia.

I stumbled onto fathers study, I heard quiet conversation between what I assumed was my father and my stepmother.

"So which one of my boys will you choose darling?"she said it with such assurance, like there was no way it could be anyone but one of those two.

"There is no way to decide yet, they are still children, it could be any one of them." I was horrified, my father's tone seemed to hold the very same assurance as hers, I was livid, they didn't even consider me a possibility.

"Come on darling, its not like you could choose her." I could hear the smirk in her tone and feel her smugness through the door.

It was silent for so long. It was the worst and possibly best silence of my life. It was a silence that could change my fate.

My father's voice shattered the silence, like stone to glass.

"Once they prove themselves I will choose one of them."

My heart stopped, not because of shock, not because of sadness, but because of pure elation.

My stepmother gave a content sigh assuming that she had gotten her way.

But I knew my father, there was a contract in his words. It was still a possibility for me the oldest daughter under the Ohtori name to become CEO.

All I had to do was prove myself.

The game was set and nobody else knew we were playing.

I was ahead.

*****flashback end*****

It had been seven years since then.

Seven years of learning.

Learning what happened to girls in rich families. (Bartered off to further business connections.)

Learning who I could fully trust. (So far the number was zero.)

Learning who I could depend on. (Very few people in that category.)

Learning to act nice. (An easy task given my natural aptitude towards deception.)

Learning to be a good girl worthy of the Ohtori name. (Again quite the easy task.)

It was my first year of high school. I was to gauge my fellow students abilities and inform my father.

The plan was going fine until he showed up. His name was Tatsuya Fujioka and as far as I could tell he did not speak a word of Japanese.

Not that anyone else or more specifically that any of the girls could tell.

The only things they thought about the new addition to our class was that he was "mysterious", "dreamy", and, my personal least favorite, "a loner bad boy".

After two weeks of observation I decided to take action.

He was sitting with his head on the desk like he had been doing for the last two weeks. I tapped lightly on his desk, no reaction, I tapped a lot harder this time. He looked up at me slightly dazed.

He stared at me.

OK that's a little creepy, I don't mean a quick once over, it was like a legitimate 5 minute stare. I had the impulse to say "Take a picture it will last longer." But that wouldn't exactly be "proper".

"You don't speak Japanese, do you?"

He had a slight look of shock, like most people do when their secrets are exposed.

His shock faded into nervousness, his gaze swept the room searching to see if any other students were still in the vicinity.

"No...."

I gave him one of my patented smiles to reassure him that it was the right thing to do.

It was positive reinforcement and it paid off.

"My name is Tatsuya Fujioka, what's your name?"

He gave me a timid smile.

Basic greetings are essential, as are first impressions.

"Lia Ohtori, its a pleasure. I think I can help you with your problem."

I offered my hand and faced him.

He looked directly into my eyes and I looked directly at his.

I was startled but I believe I covered it well enough.

They were indigo, azure, lapis colored orbs. The beams of light filtered through the window hit his eyes and they glittered like the ocean.

I didn't think my life would change that much after meeting him.

All I thought was, "This will be interesting."
