Shadows and regrets

by finiteinfinities

She reaches out, he pulls back. She holds out her hand and he just turns away. No more. For years, Sakura has loyally stood by Sasuke, never expecting anything in return. But one incidence shatters her faith in him completely and she decides that this is it. She won't take this anymore. That's when Sasuks decides that he wants her back and won't stop at anything to win her over.

2. How it all began

Author note: Dear BatCat, you're my first (and probably only) reviewer to my very first story so thank you. Seeing as you have a question, I can't help but answer it the best way possible. P.S. It's almost 3 A.M. when I'm typing this out, so please excuse the mistakes I'm very likely to make.

5 years ago (Sakura POV)

I walk to the cafeteria with Ino who's going on and on about this "really cute boy" in her class who's apparently brilliant, albeit lazy. How she figures out a person she's just met is beyond me. I get in line and turn around to her. "Wow Ino, he sounds great. Now all you have to figure out is how to get him to elope with you", I say rolling my eyes. She snorts and says, "Shut up, forehead. I'm just saying that it's really rare for me to be attracted to a guy for his smartness".

I collect my food and begin walking towards our table. I laugh, saying "Yeah, it's really rare. The only thing you usually get attracted to is a guy's butt-". I slam into a wall spilling my juice all over the said wall while the rest of my food falls onto the floor. I look up and find myself staring into infuriated onyx eyes. The wall I crashed into appears to be a tall guy, well built without being bulky with jet black hair. The kind I was talking about earlier who Ino usually goes for. I blush, mentally slapping myself for staring and say "Sorry, I didn't mean to-". "Be the ignorant person you are who can't look at where she's going? Got it." he says glaring at me and then walks away. Everyone in the cafeteria is looking at me for the debacle I've made of myself. I crashed into a guy who I spent a solid minute ogling at and then he walked away after leaving my dignity in shambles on MY FIRST DAY IN THIS HIGH SCHOOL. Well fuck.
