Chapter I: First Encounter

On that day, I hadn't expected anything out of the ordinary to happen.

Just going along like every other day, I was surely surprised, even though I showed it not upon my stoic face, when she came up to me.

Maybe it was because of her eyes- her bright and innocent blue eyes that held so many emotions- that which captivated me and made me say what I had said then.

Walking away and heading home with those whom I sometime consider to be my friends but others, just mutual acquaintances, I stopped when an unfamiliar voice called out my name.

A soft and barely audible voice yet I heard it nonetheless.

"Uchiha Sasuke."

Stopping in mid stride, head turning, a sudden heavy gust of wind hand blown by.

My hair obscured my view of the person for a moment when I tried to see who it was that had called my name.

Brushing them away, I then settled my obsidian hues upon the figure before me.

Small slender body.

Innocent blue eyes.

Disheveled short blond locks.

She was surely a sight.

Saying not a word and just staring I waited- wanting to know what this person wanted.

"Uchiha Sasuke," she said again. "I am Uzumaki Naruto from Shouguken Middle, Class 2. I like you. Please go out with me."

I watched as she closed her eyes, long lashes brushing against her skin for moment before she reopened them.

Confidence glowed within their blue depths.

Silently- I thought to respond with a rejection for I had never taken interest in getting into a relationship before.

Somehow though, I knew she was different and that was what made me hesitant in answering.

"Sure."

Unknowingly- though maybe by not so much- I had agreed.

Unknowingly as well- by more than I was willing to stake- I would have never guessed that that simple word would bring me such heartache and loneliness in the future that was to come.

Chapter II: Unexpected Outcomes (excerpt)

…he gazed at me from where he sat, saddled over my stomach.

His blue orbs, a dull shade just moments before, became a false brightness.

Leaning in to kiss me, I turned my head away, purposely missing the saddened look that would then adorned his face.

"I'm sorry," he murmured and place a gentle kiss upon my cheek.

Why was he sorry?

I wondered that but in a way- I think I know why but just dare not to think of it…
