Beta: Kiya- chan
Chapter 4: The loneliness
Sakura's POV
"Hey Sakura, I think Gaara likes you."
"Gaara?" I tried to laugh. "Impossible, he's the most popular guy from this high school. Moreover, you like him and I'd never take him away from you Temari."
I'm a liar. The reality was that I loved him, but I can't tell Temari. She's my only, precious friend, I can't hurt her.
I don't think I need to worry, since it's impossible for Gaara to like me.
..
"Sakura-san?" Kakashi-sensei called me in the middle of the lunch break.
"Yes?"
"Can you help me? I need to clean the music room, it's a total mess there, but I don't have time since my class it's starting now."
Oh great, I'd really love to waste my time cleaning the music room. "Kakashi-sensei, you know..."
"If you're gonna do it, you'll never have any homework."
"Sounds interesting." Kakashi-sensei sure knows how to convince someone.
"For the rest of the next 2 weeks?" he asked hopeful.
"Next month."
"Sure."
I went to the classroom to find a total mess. It would take me at least 2 hours!
He knew it would take me so long, that's why he asked me when I had class with him.
"Well, I'd better begin." I looked around to see from where should start when I heard the door opening behind me.
I saw a boy with bright red hair. His eyes were green, the most beautiful eyes I'de ever seen.
"Gaara?" I asked turning around.
He looked at me and I thought I saw a little red in his cheeks.
"You see... Kakashi-sensei told me to come and help my classmate clean the music room, but I didn't know that you were that classmate." he closed the door.
That was really strange, I've never saw Gaara blush up until now.
"It's ok, I'm fine by myself." I should avoid him.
"I'd like to help." his smile made me blush.
I was stepping back trying to keep the distance.
"Sakura!"
I turned around to see the guitars falling on top of me. I closed my eyes, but I didn't feel any pain.
When I opened my eyes, Gaara was holding me, he protected me.
"Gaara! You're hurt!" I exclaimed looking at his head.
He smiled. "You're safe, I'm glad."
He was so beautiful, and his arms so warm. I couldn't help but melt in his embrace.
"Sa-kura.."
I saw Temari looking at me.
"Temari!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Temari saw us.
"Temari, please." Gaara tried to protect me, again.
"Liar! LIAR !" she screamed and ran away.
I think I'll die, how can I be so stupid to get sick at a time like this?
I slowly opened my eyes to see Sasuke standing beside me, asleep with his head on the bed.
Guessing that he was there the whole night, I smiled.
It was sunrise when I decided to get up and cook something, this big headache wouldn't leave me anyway.
Right after I put a blanket on Sasuke's back I had a shower. Since I didn't have any other clothes here I put on a shirt that I saw lying on the couch. It was too big for me, but I guess it was a good thing since I didn't have any pants either.
"Are you feeling better?" I turned around to see Sasuke looking at me with his eyes half open.
I blushed realizing how I look.
"Y-yes, thank you."
He smiled and went to the kitchen.
"Coffee or tea?" he asked as I sat on the couch.
"Coffee."
At 9:00 we're supposed to be at work.
After I drank my coffee, I felt a little better. I went to my apartment and changed in other clothes. I was taking my time since I knew that Sasuke wouldn't wait for me today. What happened yesterday was strange, and he might regret it.
I opened the door and confirmed my thoughts, Sasuke already left.
I locked the door and headed downstairs, since this building doesn't have an elevator. It was cold, but thanks God, the snow stopped.
"Taxi !" the car stopped. "To Shibuya."
I really have to learn how to get there myself, or else, I'm gonna waste all my money.
"We're here miss."
I got out of the car and covered my face with my hands.
I entered in the electronics building to search for the boss; I need to excuse myself about yesterday.
I saw his secretary smiling at me.
"Can I help you?"
She had short, grey hair with some stylish glasses.
"I-"
I stopped when I saw Sasuke talking to a beautiful, tall girl. He was angry, I could see just by looking at his face, but he tried to smile and look ok. The girl with long, black hair looked so feminine. She was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
"Is there something wrong?" asked the secretary.
"N-nothing, I just remember I have to go somewhere, thank you"
I had the feeling that I shouldn't see Sasuke right now, they seemed really close.
I tried to concentrate at work when I looked at my phone, my aunt was calling me.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Sakura, dear, how are you?"
"I'm at work right now. I'm doing fine, what about you and the others?"
"Oh, they are fine. What is your boyfriend doing?"
"Aunt, you know I broke up with him right before I left." I didn't really like this subject, but I couldn't tell my aunt this, she'd probably worry.
"Broke up? I thought you ran away with him."
"No, I just wanted to live on my own. Anyway, I'll come and visit sometime soon, ok?"
"Sure sweetie, come anytime."
I heard my cousins calling my name right before I hung up.
That's right, maybe a little trip will make me feel better, it's really lonely living by yourself.
