Chapter 1
Breathe.
Inhale.
Exhale.
I can do this. I can move on.
With another deep breath, Haruno Sakura stepped into the gates of Konoha High school. Nothing happened. As the 16 year old pink haired girl walked along the brick pathways, no one spared her a glance, she was the new girl again, the nobody no one cared about.
With a deep sigh, she berated herself mentally for assuming things will change. She didn't know what she was so afraid of. Just because her boyfriend, the first boyfriend she ever had, told her frankly that he only dated her for a game, didn't mean the world will change. Just because she was breaking inside does not mean everyone else would sense her pain.
"It was never real." His beautiful coal black eyes were so intense. "I never liked you."
Sakura clenched her fists, she could feel her eyes attempting to tear up.
Calm down. I have to be strong.
Gearing herself, Sakura turned the next corner, only to stop, transfixed at the person before her. He was as handsome as he always been. Uchiha Sasuke still looked like the epitome of perfection.
There was a brief pause, but Sasuke kept on walking. Time seemed to slow down as he walked by her without missing a single beat. She could almost hear his blazer scratch against hers. She could smell the familiar scent of his cologne.
Suddenly, she turned yelled. "Uchiha!"
Sasuke turned around, only to be toppled to the ground. Sakura's tears were flowing, her right arm raised in a motion meant to hit him.
"How could you?" Sakuras sobbed. "You make me so angry!"
However, Sasuke remained expressionless. "Punch me, if you want to."
"You bastard!" Sasuke closed his eyes, anticipating her punch, only to feel a pressure near his left ear. Sakura has moved, kneeling at the pathway, sobbing uncontrollably. He could see her knuckles were bleeding.
"You have every right to hate me." He murmured as he took her hand and cleaned the wound with his handkerchief. For a minute, there was only silence as he finished wrapping his handkerchief like a bandage.
"Just forget everything and move on." With that, he stood and resumed his walk.
"It was all real to me, Sasuke-kun." Once again, he stopped.
Wiping away her tears, Sakura stood and looked determinedly at his back. "It's painful. I feel like I'm going to explode. But I will never forget us. I will never let go of the feeling of how I was happy with you. I will never forget that I really, truly loved you. Because of that, I can never hate you, Sasuke-kun"
When Sasuke looked back, she was gone.
A/N: I'm still not satisfied with my current draft of Thief of Hearts, so I decided that maybe a drabble series in between would help me realx for a while ^_^ But don't worry, Thief of Hearts is still my number one priority and I will update it soon.
This is my first HS fic, I always wanted to do one of these. It's going to be a drabble series, so an average of 500 words per chapter.
I hope you like it. ^_^
