PROLOGUE

All my life, I had been in love with Sasuke Uchiha—and I mean it. Literally, all my life I have been in love with this guy. We're childhood friends, his family knows my family and we're practically neighbours! He's handsome, a kind personality, and he's always been there for me and does sweet things for me that I think he doesn't even know. I've been with him through his ups and down up until now that we're already sophomores. There is one problem though: I never confessed my undying love for my bestfriend.

"Sakura!" Sasuke called for me. I was hanging out with Ino, Tenten and Hinata, three of the most awesome bestfriends I also have.

"Oh! The handsome Adonis is calling out for you, forehead!" Ino said, giggling with Hinata and Tenten. I blushed, "Do I look okay?"

"You look great, girl! Now go get him!" Tenten cried then pushed me towards Sasuke. Today was the day that I'm going to finally tell him how much I love him, and that I had felt this feeling ever since we were kids and that-

"I'm in love!" Sasuke cried. My eyes went wide and my jaw dropped and it's like everything collapsed around me. WHAT?!

"Y-You're what?!" I cried out, wanted to confirm just what the hell heard.

Sasuke hugged me tightly and spun me around, "I'm in love with the most beautiful girl in the whole world!" Sasuke smiled.

Was it me? Could it be? That's why he called me out? Because he finally knew how much he loved me! It couldn't be! This could be a dream come true!

"Who is it?" I asked once Sasuke placed me down.

"Karin!" Sasuke cried, "her eyes are just like the starry night…her body is just amazing…and the way she talks is like classical music in my ears and…" I muted out everything else. Karin. The evil popular bitch in school! What the hell was Sasuke thinking? Did she put him in some kind of love spell or something? Cause I wouldn't be surprised if that girl is a freakin' witch!

"Karin?" I asked once more.

"Karin!" Sasuke yelled like it was the most wonderful name in the world.

"Karin!" I yelled, exasperated.

"Karin!" Sasuke laughed.

"Karin!" Oh god. Karin! Why! Why oh why! Among all the girls, why did it have to be her!

You know what, screw it! I have two problems: one is I haven't confessed to Sasuke that I have a huge crush on him ever since we were kids and two is he likes someone else—or he claims to actually 'love' her. Game on!
