Naruto POV
"Ok! Today is the day! Today is the day I tell him!" I told my reflection in the mirror. Today is graduation day and my last chance to tell Sasuke Uchiha I love him. Running a hand through my wild hair I walk down stairs to the kitchen where Kurama, my brother, was making breakfast.
Kurama is six years older than me and been taking care of me since our parents died. "You excited about today?" he asked. "Yep!" I smile, its kinda fake and more than kinda nervous but he can see through it easily . "You know you don't HAVE to tell him right?" He's know about my unfortunate attraction to the Uchiha since it started in middle school.
"Yes I do. Today is the last day." I say as if its the most obvious thing in the world. "Its my last chance."
He sighs but doesn't say anything more. After breakfast he drives me to the school. We are early in leaving so we make a few stops on the way all of which is a blur to me, I'm so nervous thinking of Sasuke.
I said unfortunate because he's the single most poplar person in school. Everybody and their mom (and if I sound like I'm kidding about the mom thing, know that I'm Not) wants him. He has the looks, the grades, and his family comes from money. But I don't care about any of that.
Sure he looks like a model but to most everybody thats not me, my brother or his brother, Itachi, he's a royal ass. He's so smart that he has this way that without trying he can make even the other smart kids (and even some of the teachers) look like idiots. And as far as money goes, its a little know fact (and by little I mean only Sasuke and Itachi know) that we are just as well off as they are, if not better what with Kurama's luck in the stock market. The man is smart with his money.
As Kurama drops me off at the sidewalk leading to the door wile he tries to find a place to park. I immediately begin looking for Sasuke. I spot him leaning ageist a tree and make my way over to him.
"Hey Sasuke." I say brightly.
"Hey." he says back. Its not much, but then again its more than most people get. We start walking towards the front door after a few minutes of idle talking, none of which I can remember. I'm only really paying attention to the sound of his voice.
He falls silent again and I gather what nerve I have and say, "Hey Sasuke? I kinda have something to tell you." I'm so glad my voice didn't squeak or that I didn't stutter. "Hn." he says to let me know he's paying attention, even as he stairs ahead.
"Its kinda important." I tell him. I want him to look at me but I'm sooo nervous.
He stops walking and turns to face me, His face blank but his eyes tell me he's confused and a bit worried at my seldom used serious tone.
I take a deep breath, my heart beating a little fast. "I-" And before I can say another word we here a screech of "SASUKE!" I saw his slight flinch and his eyes flash annoyance before he turns to greet the source of the unearthly sound.
Sakura, the prettiest girl in school walks up to him, and completely ignores me. She shifts from side to side a little before she holds a little white envelope out in both hands, looking towards Sasuke. "Here." she said, and my heart stops for a few beats before starting up an uneven rhythm.
Its a love letter. And suddenly I'm blinded by a moment of utter clarity. I don't even see as he turns her down.
And suddenly I couldn't do it. I couldn't say those words. All of a sudden I can see his whole life unfold. Him going off to a good collage, taking over one of the companies his late father used to own and making it prosper. Even meeting a good woman, getting married, having a few kids to continue the Uchiha line.
I can see it all and so much more. He has his whole life ahead. And I still don't even have a major picked out. What I don't see, is a way that I fit in the bright future I see for him. I know if I say anything now, that future won't happen. There is no way I will stop him from leaving. No way I get in between him and that bright future.
And the next words he says really hits me. Hard. But solidifies my resolve further.
Sakura is trying to figure out why he wont even take her letter when he finally tells her. "I cant take it because I already love someone else." The words hit me like a punch to the gut, and it takes every thing in me to not double over or cry or both. As it stands I couldn't stop my breath from getting stuck in my throat, chocking me.
But thankfully the sound goes unnoticed as Sakura starts crying and saying "But I love you." Softly over and over again. Her friend, Ino, walks up to her and gently takes her arm leading her away.
Sasuke turns to me and I'm glad I'm composed again. "Sorry about that, What did you want to tell me?"
I smile again and brush it off saying, "Its ok. Its not too important, It can wait till after graduation." Ow. That hurts. I hope he cant see it in my eyes. But just in case I turn and start walking for the door.
The rest of the day passes in a blur. I look back and not remember a thing. I will see pictures and not remember them being taken. I will look at them and marvel at how happy I managed to look. Kurama will look at them and wonder how nobody sees me about to cry.
I was finally coming to just as I walked to my brothers car. I don't know why he is already there with the engine running. But as I reach him the numb feeling that had spread over me came off and I stop a few steps from the car.
I began to shake, my breath hitching. As my eyes begin to blur I don't see Sasuke walking behind me, trying to catch me before I leave. And I don't see the look on my brothers face as he looks over my shoulder as he comes over to hug me.
