The Call

Sakura stood outside on her bedroom balcony, letting the soft breeze of the night cool her down after her hot bath. Her dark brown bangs moved slightly across her forehead, swaying with the wind. She stared at the full moon, its warm glow casting shadows across the lawn below her. It was Wednesday—two days before the field trip, and she had no homework left to do.

She was content.

The mood was ruined when her butt started vibrating. She reached into the back pocket of her black pajama pants and pulled out her cell phone, flipping it open.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Hi Shawn."

"I… was thinking about what we talked about on Saturday. You know, when we walked around during your lunch time at Ichiraku's?"

"Oh. Yeah, whaddyou think?"

"I'll do it."

Sakura smiled, and then closed her eyes. She was so happy…

"Alright then. I'll see you around."

"Bye."

"Bye."

She closed her cell phone and placed it onto the wrought iron table a few feet behind her.

And then she sunk into the balcony's chair, resting her head in her arms, thinking a million thoughts.

Author's Note: No, this is not a whole chapter. Gosh, peoples. Calm down. The tenth chapter's coming up tomorrow or the day after. Most likely tomorrow.

So I'll just keep writing. I've gotten the tenth chapter half way done already.
