Chapter 2: Unreal
Disclaimer: So I guess, this is chapter 2 I hope you also like it..
Sakura doesn't know what to reply. It was the one of the hardest thing to do. Many things playing on her head that made her take long to reply.
"Hey, what shall I say?"
Her cousin just shrugged and told her to say what her heart is saying. Following her advice, she texted him her true feelings
Sakura: hmm... the truth is... I really like you, in fact, I think I love you already. Please forgive me for saying such things. I would totally understand if you won't text or talk to me anymore.
She became sad all of a sudden. They continued walking. She earnestly waited for his reply but it already took a lot of minutes. She thought it was the end of their friendship. They were about to cross the street when her phone rang. There was a new text message.
While crossing the street...
She read the message...
Yukito: Really? so we're a couple now?
Her eyes pounded when she saw the text message. She stopped in the middle of street where cars are passing through. Her cousin pulled her fast when suddenly a car was coming fast at her.
"Hey, what's up with you? You almost got swept by that car."
Sakura didn't say anything. She felt mixed emotions. She felt happy because it was a chance for them to be together like she dreamt of but she felt sad because it was then only when he knew that she liked him that he said that. She knew that it was a big risk. She dared not replied for a couple of minutes, still thinking of what to say.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Oh nothing"
She didn't want to tell her cousin about it because she was ashamed of being in the situation. Her heart pounded so fast. She didn't know what to do. Every girl would not have dreamt of this situation. It is suppose to be the other way around.
When they were about to cross the street again a text message came.
Yukito: If you don't want, I totally understand. Sorry for saying those things. Just take care always and God bless. Sorry again.
She got startled and replied right away out of impulse.
Sakura: No! I totally wanna be together with you. It's just that, do you even like me?
Yukito: I don't know. It will be on a process.
disappointed. hurt but she already said it.
Sakura: ok then. We are a couple then.
Right at that moment she changed her life. The guy she likes for years is finally her boyfriend but it didn't seem right.
The next day when she went to school, she told her close friends about it, not the whole story that is for she was still ashamed of it. When she was about to go home, she was texting him.
Sakura: Hey
Yukito: Hello ^_^ so how was your day?
Sakura: Fine thank you. you?
Yukito: Fine.. ^_^ I wanna see you
She smiled.
Sakura: Really? Sure later. When I get home.
Yukito: ok
She got so excited that she couldn't sit still. She remembered that she still haven't told her bestfriend, Tomoyo about this. She was walking down her street when she noticed her father cleaning their car. She frowned.
Sakura: Yukito, I'm so sorry, my father is outside our house. I couldn't afford to be caught.
Yukito: oh, is that so? ok then. I almost forgot please don't tell anyone about our relationship, not even you father or even Tomoyo please. They might tell my mother, I'm still not allowed to have a relationship with anyone.
Sakura: oh ok.
She went into her house frustrated. She was so frustrated because she couldn't see him and because he wants it to be a secret to everybody. She understands his situation, for they are in the same situation but it pains her to know that he is not ready to brag her to others.
The next day, Tomoyo visited her home.
"So Sakura, how's life?"
"Nothing much. I want to tell you something but I cannot."
"Why can't you tell it to me?"
"Because I'm not allowed to"
"oh"
Tomoyo gave that cute sad face that made Sakura very uneasy.
"Fine! I'll tell you but you have to promise me, you won't tell your cousin or anyone."
Tomoyo smiled.
"What is it? "
"Me and 'you know who' are together now"
"who?"
"oh you know, my crush"
"you have to be kidding me"
"No, I'm not"
Tomoyo laughed so hard. Sakura smiled a bit.
"Congratulations Sakura! I'm so happy for you."
"uhm.. thanks"
They continued talking about him. Sakura knew deep inside that he doesn't like her even though in his text messages he says he loves her. She just enjoys the title of being his girlfriend. Next day, Tomoyo and Sakura went to the computer shop. While going there they saw him walking to the same direction. When they reached the computer shop, they saw him sitting on the farthest corner of the computer shop.
Sakura went near his back and slowly, shakily placed her hand on his shoulders. He looked at her with surprise.
"Oh hello Sakura. Who are you with?"
"Tomoyo. So what are doing?"
"Surfing the net."
It was very awkward. Her heart thumped so hard she didn't know what to say next. Tomoyo called her to take a sit already. She said goodbye to him and sit next to Tomoyo.
They whispered to each other.
"What did he say?"
"nothing much"
Tomoyo giggled. They surfed the net for an hour. She noticed that he had already gone. This got her disappointed. They walked outside the computer shop. She saw him walking not far away.
