Author: Yuuka Matsuyama

Anime/Pairing: Naruto (Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura)

Chapter 1

The paper plane flew with the help of the wind and reached Sasuke-kun's desk. Good thing though, the teacher was facing the blackboard so he didn't notice.

He unfolded the plane and read the words "I love you." He rolled his eyes and traced the sender. A group of female classmates averted their eyes which, he presumed the senders. He just sighed and flew the paper again in the air and it landed in Sakura's desk.

He flinched. It didn't occur to him the thought of that piece of paper, carrying those three words that could blow up in a matter of seconds his hidden desires to her. He cursed, again and again. His image would be shattered in an instant for he didn't plan on confessing to her yet. It was too embarrassing for an Uchiha to confess with such a lame tactic and obviously, unprepared.

When her elbow made contact with the tip of the plane – she immediately unfolded it, thinking it was somehow urgent. She read the words over and over again. At first she was shocked but the simple yet unique which made her fall for the guy.

She looked at her left (because it's where the plane came from) and saw sasuke-kun, his hand supporting his face – gazing out the window.

"No." she kept denying that it was Sasuke-kun who sent the letter. Impossible was the word she used to describe the situation. There was no way, according to her, that he would tell her that he loved her. She knew from the start that her love, though spoken, was unreciprocated and he had the hots for someone else.

Meanwhile, Sasuke-kun filled his head with ways in how he was going to tell her that her love was reciprocated although unspoken. He already said "I love you" and though it was written, it was a good start; so he thought.
