Sakura's p.o.v

Chouji says goodbye. He adds my number to his contacts.

"I'll text you", I shout as he leaves.

"Okay, and it was nice meeting you to Sakura Haruno", he shouts back.

"For now my last name is Suzuki", I say with a smile.

"Alright", he says while closing the front door.

I'm left outside alone. I pick a flower from the cherry blossom tree a few feet away from me. I sit down and feel its soft petals.

I check to see if texted me.

Unknown number: Where are you?

Sakura Haruno: Who is this?

Unknown number: It's Sasuke, tell me where you are because if you don't I'll find me.

Sakura Haruno: Catch me if you can bitch

I continue to admire the flower. Cherry blossoms are so pretty. They're my favorite color too. Now I think I know why Ino wanted to die my hair pink. I wonder where Ino is anyways. I hope she is having a better time than I am right now.

Two hands come down on my shoulders. I see a shadow below me. I look above me and see Sasuke Uchiha kneeling on both knees with his hands on me. Damn it, how did he find me.

"Don't ask how I knew where you were", he says.

And he's a mind reader!

"Sakura, you've been on my mind a lot lately…and I don't know why. I can't stop thinking about you, and all I want is the truth…and if you can't give you the truth…", he says.

The tears come back and my eyes begin to sting. Ugh, and just when I thought I was done crying for today.

"If I can't tell the truth then you can't trust me, and if you can't trust me you don't want to waste your time on me", I say taking the words right out of his mouth.

"Yeah…that's what I was about to say", he says.

Hehe…I read his mind!

He sits down next to me. I begin to twiddle with my hair to get my mind off of things.

"Sakura, I'm going to ask you one last time.", Sasuke says.

I continue to play with my hair acting as if this situation is the last thing on my mind. I look down at my phone to see if I got a text from anyone. Sasuke grabs my chin and turns my head side ways so I'm looking directly at him. We are both sweating, and it feels as if it is getting hotter as we speak.

"Sasuke I'm sorry! I shouldn't have walked away from you! I should've told you the truth! I didn't mean to upset you, if I could tell you the truth then I would!", I say with tears going down my face.

"Why can't you just tell me the truth", he says in a soft and calming whisper.

My throat feels like it's about to close. It's almost impossible to swallow. I can feel my body shaking, and I'm so nervous that I could almost pee myself. I grab his hand it take it off of my chin. I look around to see if anyone else is watching us. Why does he care if I'm lying to him? If I tell him the truth it's not going to change anything? It might actually make things worst! Can I trust him? Why does he have to be so friggin hot when he's serious?

"Alright, so you wanna know the truth…", I say slowly and quietly.

"No, I just went looking for you so you could lie to me again", he says like the sarcastic smart ass he is.

Wow. Now that I think about it, I should lie to him for saying that.

I take a deep breath, and count backwards from three in my head. 1,2,3…tell the truth Sakura, it's not worth lying to a face like that.

"I'm a sore loser", I say with more tears running down my face.

"What?", he says sounding very shocked.

Why is he so shocked?

"I lost everything. I got bullied so badly at school that I had to leave and become homeschooled, and now I'm here", I say.

"That's it?", he says sounding very confused.

That's not the whole truth…but should I tell him the whole truth?

"Yeah, I just wanted to start over you know. I was teased because I was overweight, and if you're overweight your automatically ugly, so I tried to impress everyone here by changing the way I look and changing my last name to Suzuki", I say.

What the hell am I saying? Why can't I tell him the truth? My heart is saying be honest, but my brain is saying lie.

"You really thought that you would impress anyone by being someone your not?", he asks.

"Yeah…that's it", I say.

He chuckles for a little bit. What? How is this funny? I'm crying my eyes out, and he thinks it's funny?

"If you live a lie, it won't get you far. People will treat you the way you want to be treated, but eventually they will find out, and they turn on you. And then you'll have nobody.", he says.

"Well, what if you tell everyone the truth, and they turn on you because of it?", I ask.

"Then at least your not lying to the one's you care about. If they were your friends then they will move past the truth, and accept you for you. Lying to your friends will make you lose your friends", he says.

"Wow Sasuke…thank you", I say with a grin on my face.

"Thanks for what?", he asks.

"For everything", I say softly.
