Reachable

I forgot what I was talking about. I forgot what I was looking at. I just remember Hinata leaning over to me.

"I'm not lying, Sakura, but Sasuke is staring at you."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

And then I see him, creeping past the corner of my eye, making his way to his posse. I keep still, because his presence doesn't affect me.

Lies.

Okay. I lied.

I can just imagine him, glancing subtly here, like I know he does.

Later, I pounced.

"You're serious?"

Hinata replies patiently, "Sakura, he stared. It was long. Like fifteen seconds. And it looked like he was holding back a smirk. I think he likes you...!"

"YEAH!"

Highlight of my day.

You see, Sasuke is on a different level than any of us here. Whatever you can do, he does better. Whatever you look like, Sasuke is automatically hottter. He's unreachable.

And I know he shouldn't, but sometimes, he scares the shit out of me.

Look, I didn't plan this. This whole falling thing, maybe an obsession. I'm one of the million devoted girls. I watch his every move.

But I can't stop.

I already I know I got him wrapped around my finger, miraculously. Just like he has me. But how to get the final snap?
