WHAT LOVE CAN DO
CHAPTER THREE-MELTING ICE, HIDDEN HEART!
Sakura woke up at exactly 6:00 in the morning. Do her daily routine and go to school. She arrive school at exactly 6:45. She went inside her classroom and placed her things on top of her chair. "It's my fourth day" (a/n: lets just pretend days have already passed) sasuke was there. Sitting and not talking. "good morning sasuke-kun!" she greeted and smiled at sasuke. Sasuke just looked at her then closed his eyes. "grrr.. this boy! I'm just being nice to him! Wah"
IN SASUKE'S MIND
"-kun eh? No one has called me like the way she calls me.. SASUKE-KUN"
"yeah you're right! It's cute! Haha" said his innerself.
"and you know… she's an idiot!"
"neh.. why?"
"after everything… you know!"
"oh! I see… she still manages to say good morning to you bastard. And you didn't even reply."
"ah! That's ok."
"no that's not. you better talk to her in a nice way"
"why would I do that?"
"mou, you're so slow! I thought you're smart?"
"I'm you bastard."
"I know duh"
"better leave me alone! Grrrrr"
"I'll leave you but promise me to talk to her. That's not hard you know"
"fine whatever"
"SASUKE! SASUKE!" a voice called out. "what?" he asked annoyed. "are you ok? It seems that you're lost in your thoughts and you don't belong to this world."….. "yeah, I'm fine"
Suddenly, naruto, shikamaru,hinata and ino arrived. "good morning guys!" sakura greeted again. "goodmorning" they all replied and made their way to their sits.
7:00..
7:10..
7:20..
7:30..
After 40 min. of waiting.. Kakashi arrived. "good morning class! I'm sorry I'm late! There's a turtle crossing the road and I needed to wait for it and—" before he can continue.. the class shouted "LIAR!"
"how stupid! He doesn't need to wait a turtle to cross the road! Stupid! Stupid!." Sakura said softly.
"never mind him! He's an idiot. What lame excuses… he knows we're not kids to believe him" a voice from nowhere said. It was sasuke!
"wow! It's the first time here in school that he started a conversation. He really has a nice voice"
But before Sakura can talk, kakashi commanded the class "ok now, get your book and ready page 217 to 228 and answer pages 229 and 230." Then, he pulled something out of his pocket then started reading it.
"hey sasuke! What book is that? The one he's holding? I noticed that since I came here, he's always reading it" sakura asked
"hn. Just one of his perverted books"
"eew! And he rather read that yucky book than to teach the class! Nonsense!"
"hn."
After two hours of boring class, it's break time! Then 3 subjects again, then another break. Lunch time! As usual, sakura, ino, tenten and hinata would eat lunch together. While they're under the Cherry Blossom tree…..
"ok, let's eat!" tenten said.
"oh! I forgot my chopsticks in my bag in the classroom! I'll go get it!" sakura uttered.
"ok sakura, be back soon!" they replied. Sakura then went back to her classroom to get her chopsticks. When she already got her chopsticks and now making her way back downstairs, she noticed an open door… she got interested in what's in there so she opened it and revealed a balcony where you can see the nice sky and feel the fresh air… she walked inside the door(it's outside actually) and explored the balcony. "wow! It feels so good!" she's referring to the air. Her day dreams were washed away when she heard a voice saying…. "sakura! what are you doing here?" it was sasuke sitting in the floor and leaning on the wall.
"ne sasuke-kun? I didn't notice you! You see…I saw the door open and I got interested on what's in here so I opened it. Isn't it nice out here?" she giggled slightly feeling the breeze of the air.
"hn." He replied watching her acting like a kid "BEAUTIFUL" sasuke thought.
"sasuke??"
"hmmm?"
"why do you keep on saying…. 'hn.' Are you lost of words? Or you're just lazy to talk? Or maybe… that's the only word in your dictionary? Haha!!" sasuke just looked at her…
"nah sasuke-kun! I'm just joking! Anyway, did you eat already?" she asked
"no."
"why?"
"because I don't want to."
"why?"
"sakura stop it!"
She giggled again! "haha sasuke! You're so impatient."
"hn."
"hn." She imitated him. Sasuke looked at her with the stop-it-or-else look.
"just joking!" then smiled again.
"is it ok if I eat lunch here sasuke-kun?" she questioned.
"yeah whatever" he answered.
"thanks! Actually……. Uhhmmm… my friends are waiting for me downstairs.."
"why don't you go down if they're waiting for you?"
"they'll understand!" sakura just decided to eat there so she can talk to Sasuke. She don't know why but she just wanted to… haha! She then sat beside sasuke.
"I see…"
"how about you?"
"what?"
"why are you not with naruto, shikamaru and hinata's cousin? Neji right? Yes! Neji!"
"I just want to be alone."
"sorry sasuke! Am I bothering you? You see if you don't want I'll just go down."
"no! it's ok!"
"thanks!"
"what am I doing? Waaahhh!" sasuke said in his mind. Well he doesn't know why he let sakura stay. He feels comfortable around her.. just like when he's with his friends…Maybe it's because sakura is different from other girls… and… he find sakura the most beautiful and kind of all… ok now! He admits.. he's attracted to her! But he's not yet sure with what he is feeling… because he just met her.
"here sasuke, I have my lunch with me. Want some?" she snapped her chopsticks and opened her bento box. She took a piece of sushi, bringing it up to his mouth. "eat" she said but sasuke refused. "oh come on sasuke! You'll get thin if you don't eat!" she pouted and gave him her puppy dog eyes. Sasuke blinked… "eat now! You'll not die if you eat??" sasuke opened his mouth and ate the sushi. Sakura giggled. "you're like a kid" she told sasuke still giggling.
"does it taste good?" sakura asked and sasuke nodded his head.
"really?"
"yes" she giggle once again!
"I cooked that you know.."
"really?"
"yes! Haha.. I'm happy you like it!" she smiled at him… Sakura also ate her food she made by herself and fed Sasuke…. Like a kid!!
"sakura" sasuke uttered.
"hmmm??" replied sakura closing her bento box. They finished eating!!
"why??" he asked
"what why?"
"why are you so kind? I mean.. after I made you angry and you…. You're still acting like nothing really happened?"
"ne sasuke-kun! That's already finish! Past is past! And I know you're not that bad! They say you don't care about others besides your friends of course… but I know that you're really a good person. That's what I can see sasuke! Just don't be afraid to let it out. Don't hide between you're sadness… you know sasuke-kun, I can see sadness in your eyes… at least tell your friends what your really feeling!! Smile sasuke!"
"thank you Sakura!" he said in a low voice. Yes, he just said it! Hihi..
"no! it's nothing!" she beamed. "SASUKE-KUN! I know… I know you have that good heart inside you!" she thought. Their 'little moment' was stopped when….
"sakura!" ino called. Hinata, tenten, neji, naruto, neji and shikamaru were also there. "what are you doing here with sasuke?" ino asked. Sakura and sasuke can see all the grin in their faces.
"uhmmm… you see guys! Aahh!! You understand me right?" sakura manage to talk….
"of course sakura!! hahaha" tenten, ino and hinata replied looking at sakura with a we-need-to-ask-you-what-happened look!
"sasuke???? Is that really you? I cant believe it! Haha!!" naruto is laughing so hard!
"dobe stop it!" sasuke said looking away…
"look at you together! You two are so cute! 1-2-3 smile!" tenten took a picture of sakura and sasuke sitting together with a you cant describe look in their faces.. aw, the two are really blushing…
Blush
Blush
Blush
"looks like our little sasuke here has grown up" it's time for neji to talk.
"yeah sasuke!" shikamaru said. The two cant talk… they're embarrassed! Then they heard the bell rang. Sasuke and sakura sighed in relief! "whew! Saved by the bell! " both thought!
"let's go now! Science is our next subject! If we're late, Iruka-sensei will get mad! And neji.. tenten! You two also go now, you two might be late" hinata commanded. Then everyone went back to their classroom…
CLAAANNGG!!!!
The bell rang signaling all students that it's dismissal. Ino and hinata quickly ran to sakura… "sakura!! you need to tell us what happened!" ino said quickly and very excited..
"uhmm guys! Forget it.. it's nothing!!"
"sakura! you cant hide it from us.. you left us because of sasuke and you're not telling!"
"fine! But later when tenten is here.. and you see girls, sasuke is still there.."
"ah yes! Haha!"
"GUYS!" tenten called from the door…they went again to the cherry blossom tree and sakura started to tell them what happened………………………….. tsk tsk………………………………
"really? I cant believe it!" tenten questioned in disbelief
"yeah sakura! that's so sweet…." hinata said
"I hope shika-kun would do like that to me! Haha just joking!" the girls laughed.
"ok now, promise me you won't tell that to anyone or else… his admirers would kill me!" ino, hinata and tenten promised… told their goodbyes went home.
When the bell rang, just like ino and hinata… naruto and shikamaru quickly ran to sasuke asking him what happened. And sasuke, same as sakura.. would tell them to forget about it and…
"sasuke! You can't hide from us! You told as you want to be alone then we'll see you with sakura and you're not telling us what happened?"
Again, sasuke told them to wait for neji and on the roof top, he told them what had happened. Same reaction was given from the guys just like the girls.. shocked!!
LATE AT NIGHT IN SASUKE'S ROOM
Sasuke was in his room thinking. "gosh! I cant believe I fell for those puppy dog eyes she gave me a while ago… still, she looked cute"
"I think you're falling for her?"
Sasuke thought again for a while………
"why do you keep on saying you? I'm you! You should say we??"
"hey! Don't change the topic!"
"ah fine! So what was it you're telling me again?"
"you're falling for her? I mean we?"
"don't know…"
"you see… she's very kind and I think she's not after your looks! I mean our looks! You see, what she notices is what's inside"
"ne sasuke-kun! That's already finish! Past is past! And I know you're not that bad! They say you don't care about others besides your friends of course… but I know that you're really a good person. That's what I can see sasuke! Just don't be afraid to let it out. Don't hide between you're sadness… you know sasuke-kun, I can see sadness in your eyes… at least tell your friends what your really feeling!! Smile sasuke!" he remembered those words of Sakura.
"yes you're right! Wah! It's giving me headache!"
IN SAKURA'S ROOM…..
She's dreaming…. Dreaming of sasuke! "you're not really that bad sasuke-kun" she muttered in her sleep…
