"…Just go and leave me alone!" I shouted angrily thrusting my arm out violently causing Kiba to take a step back with a face full of bitter understanding.
I never wanted to lose. Staring at the boy across the room a light blush covered my face. I stared at Kiba Inuzuka in shock. He's the most handsome boy I've ever seen and I want him. I turned to my parents but they were already walking over to his.
"You'll never get him…" Ino whispered with a smirk. I wanted to hit her but instead I just smiled wanting to defeat her so bad that she would never show her face to me ever again. I turned to Ino and gave her a sweet innocent smile.
"Just watch me." I said with a defiant and confident look. She glared but also looked jealous and scared. She must truly love him… I thrust this thought out of my mind and walked up to him. I was at yet another fancy and privileged party. In fact, this is my birthday party. I'm officially fifteen years old.
I stared at Kiba's confused face and then watched him smile softly at me. "Are you having a fun birthday party?" He asked with a pleased expression. This made me want to melt right then and there but instead I just turned to give him a sly smile.
"Now that I've talked to you." I answered causing the boy to smile wider. For some reason this didn't feel real to me. I've been all alone for so long and here I am worrying about whether or not my feelings are accurate along with his.
His parents walked up and began pulling him away, whispering something in his ear. "I'm sorry but can I talk to you again later?" He called back to me with a worried look on his face. I smiled warmly at him and nodded.
"I'll be waiting!" I replied feeling something within me. I realized instantly that it was hope. I was hoping that he would get rid of the loneliness within me. Chills ran down my spine along with the pain of being all alone. I've never had anyone who truly knows me. I immediately decided that I would entrust Kiba with my entire personality and let him know me.
That's so much to thrust on someone, but I'm a selfish person. I can't help it. I need him to be the one that understands me completely if not… I could feel it building up once again. No one here knows a thing about me. My parents only knew I was interested in Kiba because I was staring at him. No one truly knows me.
"Are you alright?" A waiter asked me gently. I turned to see a boy with messy deep red hair and light orange eyes. I glared at him then stalked off feeling my face begin to heat up. I need to find a way to release all this loneliness within me.
I began reading romance novels immediately. That was the only way I could figure on protecting myself from these stupid feelings that take over me so often. Once I get into a book or a series I become passionate and obsessive over a character. It helps me forget the world.
The rest of the party went on and no one disturbed me. I had the rude waiter watching out for Kiba but apparently he didn't return. This was just as well. I wouldn't want to talk to him when my feelings were so close to the surface.
The next day I woke up to see a note from my parents on my night stand. I read over it quickly making my eyes widen in shock. Kiba would be coming over today to see and spend time with me. I cheered ecstatically and then glanced over at the picture of me and Ino across the room. I didn't want to hide it but it also expressed something I didn't want Kiba to believe.
After I was done getting ready he walked in looking happy as he smiled at me. I looked over at him mischievously and smirked. "I know you wanted to talk to me again but isn't this a bit much?" I asked him making the boy laugh then glance over at the picture of me and Ino.
We were eight punching our fists into the air. That was back when we were friends and competed with each other out of fun. Now it's different. Somewhere along the way we changed and now hate one another. "You and Ino are friends?" He asked and I could tell he was much more interested then he should be if he's visiting me.
"No. We used to be but we aren't anymore." I said softly not wanting the conversation to continue to go on about her. Kiba looked a bit disappointed but said nothing. I didn't want him to like her. He needs to care for me only.
"You are very beautiful." He informed me with his kind smile. The smile that I knew would help to erase my loneliness. I blushed lightly and stared up at him in shock noticing how he was looking at the picture of Ino and I. Some part of me told me that he was looking at Ino but I shut that part up.
"I want you to be here with me forever." I informed him standing up to face the boy. He turned and looked at me in shock as the waiter from last night came in and dropped off some tea and snicker doodle cookies. He glanced at us both and then left.
Kiba stared at me with wide eyes and then smiled softly and took both my hands. "Of course, I'll do anything you ask of me. Thank you so much Sakura." He said with such a kind yet bitter smile. I hugged him to me tightly unwilling to let go… to let go and face the truth.
