This is when the tides do change and we're convinced to do the strange:
It all started as a freshman in high school and this is Sakura's journey through the best year of her life. Because her father is part of the school board (or at least he is, hes actually a sparring coach) And since the day she was born she has always wanted to be the stat girl... but this year Sasuke joined the team... which makes the whole situation even better.
For a few weeks before the sparring season she had been talking more to Lee and he had backed off a bit from trying to woo her. But he still liked her with the intensity of a "thousand burning suns" as he once put it.
And the few first weeks of sparring practice wasn't that bad either. They talked but nothing more. There were no promises of everlasting love, no freaky hearts that floated by you every time he blew and air kiss... Sakura was beginning to like him... but she still loved Sasuke... or at least that's what she told herself.
Every time Sasuke tore a bit of clothing Sakura offered to fix it, and she did at the best of her ability, when ever he wanted something she fetched it. Pathetic.
Soon a big meet in one of the neighboring schools came. One that she was excited for for a long time... she finally got to see Sasuke spar... oh and Lee too. but mostly Sasuke.
The whole time Lee and Sakura talked and eventually the subject of Sasuke came up.
"why do you like him?" lee asked. "he doesn't even know your favorite color?" as if it were the obvious of questions
Sakura actually thought about it she didn't know... "I don't know Lee... there's just something about him that draws me to him like a moth to a flame."
You mean like I am to you Sakura-Chan Lee thought.
"Maybe I should follow the advice that Ive been giving you all this time," Sakura whispered. She didn't mean to say that allowed it was meant to stay in her head where it was supposed to say.
"So youre asking me to move on Sakura?" he asked her
That's not necessarily what she had said but when he asked there was this different kind of pain in his voice. He was Actually going to try to move on if she said yes. That somehow hurt her.
"No Lee thats not what i meant... just let me try to get off Sasuke for a little while o.k.?"
She saw the excitement in his eyes but then he swallowed hard and the excitement was attempted to be masked.
"That sounds wonderful to me"
then they both turned to watch the end of the match.
Oh lee, She thought. I already have stared falling for you... I'm just weening off of Sasuke I' ll be with you soon just give me a little time... Im going to give everything to you. Everything.
Sakura Lee thought. I knew this the moment i first laid my eyes on you that you would be the one i give it to. You look so beautiful and i know Sauske is very pleasing in your eye but i promise that i will be so much better then him. I will protect you from all that there is to harm you...
He shook his head wildly
"lee whats wrong?"
"Nothing Sakura" he had to come up with and excuse. "Its just so hard-"
Her eyes got big. "wh-what?"
"Imeantonotkissyou" he hurried "its just so hard not to kiss you"
not an excuse that was the truth.
Its no use i have to tell the truth to her always... but i will give you my innocence
