Trapped

Sometimes, I felt as though I was trapped. Trapped in this world of being a ninja. Trapped in my parents' high expectations. And finally, trapped in the teasing of others. But you, Uchiha Sasuke, were able to free me from my chains.

It started when we had just begun the academy. After a few weeks of getting started, I was already breezing through my classes. There was nothing that I couldn't handle, well, all except constantly being made fun of for my forehead.

I figured if I just ignored them, they would go away. Well, most of them did, especially since I had gained a great amount of respect from being so smart. But one group of girls never stopped, and it had begun to affect me in a negative way.

They were your fan girls.

Not one ever stood up for me. I didn't know why. I mean I tried to be nice to everyone else, but never got anything in return.

Everyone, except you.

After awhile, you would stand up for me. And the fan girls would back away. And each time, you would apologize to me, saying that it was your fault, since they were your fan girls. You were probably right, but I always denied it. You were too nice, and too cute too.

Of course this was before the Uchiha Massacre, when you were kind, and smiled quite often. When you still looked up to your brother, as some sort of hero. When you didn't think of revenge 24/7.

The two of us became friends. Maybe even best friends. We talked in school and even went to eachother's houses to train or do homework.

I still remember your family very carefully. Your father was a strict man who rarely smiled. He had that aura around him that told me he was very respected. Your mother was very kind, and the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life. I looked up to her. I saw her as a much better mother than my own. And finally, Itachi-kun. He was…well…I guess the word would be perfect. He was handsome, smart, strong, and very popular. He was also very kind as well. I remember that whenever we met, he would smile and call me 'Saku-chan.'

I was as surprised as you were when he murdered your clan and became an S-class criminal. After that, you changed dramatically.

You never smiled after that. That adorable smile. When I tried to talk to you, you would either give me short answers or ignore me all together. You became cold and emotionless. You became an avenger.

I was heart broken by the way you acted. It was as if our friendship for two years had been erased. And to this day, I still long for you, Sasuke-kun. My Sasuke-kun, the boy from my childhood that was kind, smiled, and innocent. The Sasuke-kun that will most likely never appear before me again. No matter how much I wanted him to.
