I Miss The Me You Loved

Chapter 2: Promises Are Made To Be Broken


There's a saying… and it goes like this:

If you were caught staring, remember that he was looking at you for if not… you wouldn't have been caught staring.

This was what Sakura implanted on her mind as she put down her shopping bags and lay down on her feet, apparently her stilettos made her feet hurt from walking around the mall on long hours. She could never stop staring at Sasuke no matter how hard she told eyes not to. She kept telling herself that she had already moved on but it was no use. She couldn't shut her real feelings out. There was no use in remembering how she was happy with him and then imagine her future with him along with that happy past because now it wouldn't happen. She knew this but she couldn't find ways to let him go.

She sighed and turned in her bed. She was very happy when she met Sasuke. Although he was very stiff and sort of a jerk, they even hated each other for being too hard at first but you know what they say, the more you hate the person the more you rend to fall for them. She hated how things got true with different sayings. Now back to the first saying. Why did he look at her? She was caught so many times staring at him that now she wondered why he'd tend to look at her. Her hopes went up. No this was wrong! She shouldn't keep her hopes up. Nothing was going to happen now.

Flashback:

"Freak…" Sasuke murmured under his breath.

It was science time and she was his lab partner. The first GIRL lab partner he ever had and this was the reason why he hated girls.

"Ass!" Sakura pelted back. She looked at Sasuke with angry eyes. She got so over controlling that Sasuke made a mistake with some of the chemicals mixtures. He hated him! Too much and he hated her as well.

The teacher gave them another chance but to their dismay it was during recess and they spent their time in the lab alone together while the others had fun eating their recess.

"Could you please stop that?" Sasuke asked as he steadied his hand to pour some liquid into a cylinder.

"Fine then if you're so freaking smart then do it on your own without my instructions!" Sakura yelled back as she moved to sit crossing her legs.

Sasuke dropped too much of the chemical and suddenly it started to bubble like mad.

"See what you did?" Sakura said as she took some other chemicals and started to mix it to cal the mistake Sasuke had bought.

She dropped the chemical in and only made it worse. "Look who's talking" Sasuke shot back.

"Shut up."

Suddenly it released a foul odor.

"Oh god…" Sasuke covered his nose as Sakura did the same.

"Choking…" Sakura muttered as they both ran out of the room and as they did they inhaled fresh air. They looked at each other. After a few moments they laughed.

"And then we got out and started to laugh…" Sakura shared with her blonde best friend as they moved through the cafeteria that lunch time.

"Sasuke laugh?" Ino asked with a brow raised. "Are you sure it wasn't a grunt or a cough?"

"I'm sure Ino… why'd you ask?"

"Well… since you're a new student this year… you've never actually seen Sasuke's emotions for years… he never ever showed a smile or a laugh to anybody… I know… we've been classmates since kindergarten and it freaks me out…" Ino said getting a soda from the counter.

"Are you sure?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah…"

First period after lunch. Boring old math again. It was her favorite subject yet she found it boring… that was not weird at all. I think.

She was concentrating on the equation set on the board until she couldn't help but to take one glance at Sasuke. She stared at him after a quick glance. She couldn't take her eyes off this gorgeous masterpiece in front in front of her. Wait… they hated each other remember? And a simple laughing matter this recess didn't change anything. Suddenly Sasuke's head moved to look at her. She was a bit shocked but found her cheeks growing a bit warm. So many times she's seen this face but it was only now that it made her feel all light ang giggly. Probably because now she caught him looking at her with a smile.

She giggled and saw Sasuke chuckle.

"Ms. Haruno are you listening?" Anko asked.

"What? Oh yes… sorry…"

End of Flashback

Now that she remembered it, she had never again seen Sasuke's smile after they're break up and even when he was Ayuki. She probably couldn't make him happy. She hoped this was the reason.

School came by the next day and as usual she'd have to cope up telling herself never to look or interact in any way with Sasuke ever again.

Ever since they broke up Sakura had pleaded for a new lab partner and to her dismay only got herself working on her own.

Recess came by and she did her work alone in the lab. She tried to find out the mistake she had made that time with her and Sasuke before. She mixed the same chemicals and poured it in the bubbling liquid. It once again gave out a foul stench.

"Not again" she murmured as she closed her nose and ran for the door. She inhaled a huge part of the chemicals and started to cough out of the classroom.

"I guess I still can't make that thing right… stupid smell…" she cursed.

Sasuke saw the whole thing since he was in front of her as he just came out of the boy's comfort room.

After Sakura gave her last cough she straightened up and started to curse again.

"This is the second time I've smelled that disgusting odor… if Sasuke only hadn't done that mistake ago then this could've been the first time… my nose hurts… stupid, stupid-"

She saw Sasuke looking at her. Wait… what was this… was that just a smile she saw before he looked away when she looked at him? No… it couldn't have been.

Sasuke walked away.

Sakura! I told you! Never ever stare at him again! It'll only make things harder! She told herself as she pounded hard on the wall.

"I see your going crazy" a familiar voice sounded from the corner.

"Well… look whose talking…" Sakura said regaining her poise posture as she crossed her arms.

"I was just walking by and thought I'd show you something…" Ayuki said moving closer to Sakura.

"24 carat diamond…" she said moving her left hand up to her face to show her a gorgeous engagement ring on her ring finger. It contained little emeralds on the side which glimmered and shined.

"And what is that exactly?" Sakura asked although she knew what it was. She tried her best not to show Ayuki she was near to her breaking point which was crying.

"We got engaged silly" Ayuki said playing a bitchy playful tone.

"And who cares?" Sakura asked forcing her tears back.

"It seems like you do and you can't force your tears back cause your eyes are swimming in red tears right now darling… face it… I win"

Sakura cried in front of her. Ayuki laughed. "See? You're weak… how could you ever get what you want if you're like that? See yeah trash" Ayuki flicked her hair and disappeared a few seconds later.

"Sasuke…" she murmured. She slid down to the floor with her back on the wall. She looked at the ceiling and touched her left hand which held a bump on her ring finger; she tore her gaze off the wall and looked at the ring on her left ring finger.

"You promised…" she whispered to herself. She admired the emerald jeweled ring.

This ring is my promise… when we turn 18 I'll give you a real engagement ring and I'll marry you the next day after that… Sasuke's happy voice ran in her head as she reminisced that day she gave her this promise ring.

She buried her face in her knees, sobbed harder and pulled the ring off.

It's time to stop waiting… and having memories hang on me…
