Chapter II :

#2 Limerence and crushes

Ever had a crush on someone? Of course you have! The first crush is a memorable experience, one that's filled with confusing jolts in the stomach, sudden urges to throw up and a stupid sense of grinning satisfaction each time you see your crush. It's a beautiful experience even if it did feel like your life depended on it at that time.

Limerence, on the other hand, is rather close to a crush but much more intense and "weird". Have you ever liked someone madly, but didn't ever want to express your love for them, like a school teacher or an actor, or even a crush? Sometimes, you may have an intense infatuation for someone, but yet, you wouldn't want to spoil the happy thoughts by doing anything about it. Ever been there?

I'd been and done with.

"Sasuke-kun is so cute" Ino-pig my mortal enemy since the world began said. hey we were 10. its like the whole world revolved around us.

"Shut up Pig, He's mine" i muttered under my breath, following her gazed, There stood 12 year old Sasuke, the Student body president, the varstity team captain, the perfect student. The one that makes me think i'm having a bad stomach and makes my eyes focus on him like i'm a DSLR camera. when he comes, everything blurs.

"SAkuRA-chaaaaaaaaaaan" i cringed. Kiba.

"what?" My Mortal enemy besides Ino.

"You're staring at Sasuke again. seriously just talk to him okay, he wont bite, if he did: you'll like it" He said. "Didn't you used to be close?"

"stop cheering for him kiba."

"WE still are. i just don't have the guts to talk to him at school anymore, like there's this aura that surrounds him and i don't belong there and i've decided that i'm just going to watch him, like a guardian angel"

"guardian demon, you say" ino added.

2 years passed. Valentines day. 12 years old Sakura Haruno with long pink hair and delicate white skin stared at the window beside her.

"still playing guardian demon i see." ino said. as i watch below us, Sasuke playing basketball with his buddies. "good thing i got over him"

"i don't think I'll get over him ino" Sakura watched.

"oh come on sakura, just give him the chocolates you made and realize they won't melt because he's too cold."

"Ino-pig!"

"what?"

"shut up.!"

"just saying sakura, you cant get over him because, you keep on staring." she said.

i took a peak again. Sasuke looked up and saw me, i waved at him and he smirked back. his way of saying hello. i just smiled.

Sasuke and Gaara waiting at the gates

I saw a girl approaching Sasuke-kun and gave him chocolates. he accepted and continued playing psp. what if, he also refuse mine? what would happen to me, i might die from heartbreak. what will i do?. i cluched the chocolate box behind me.

"Sakura. will you pleased hurry up we're getting crushed by girls here" Gaara laughed. "or rape, as sasuke puts it"

i changed my mind, its not the time yet.

we started walking. and arrived home in no time, gaara was the first to go in and left me with sasuke. dang!

"bye Sasuke-kun!" as i lunged forward the door. he caught my arm and said:

"i heard you gave everyone chocolates"

"yeah, so?"

"where's mine?"

"umm" come on sakura think.

"i forgot, here!" i said and gave him the chocolates, then ran like hell before he could say anything.

"THANKS!" he shouted.

i closed the door behind me and slumped. damn i did it. i did it! I DID IT!

thus just to know from my brother that Sasuke asked for chocolates because he really likes sweet. its okay, at lease i gave it.
