Chapter Ten
Days had gone by since Sakura had a run in with Sasuke, and so far she hasn't been bothered by it one bit. Actually, she has been more concerned about her friendship with Mara than anything else. The more she talked to Mara the more she wanted to remain her friend. She learned about Mara's abusive past and how strong she really is.
One day Sakura was walking down the halls of the school when she heard a commotion.
"Bitch! How dare you act like you're cooler than us!?" A smack resonated down the hallway.
Sakura immediately ran towards the source of the noise and once she reached her destination, she couldn't believe what she saw. It was Mara standing in the middle of a group of girls with a smirk adorning her face. Sakura watched in awe at how Mara gracefully manuevered her way through the crowd of girls. She was dodging punches and kicks from left to right until she reached the spot where Sakura was standing.
"Wow, that was amazing, Mara!" Sakura grinned.
Mara just smirked, staring at the mass of girls who were currently kicking and pulling each other's hair hoping that they do some damage to Mara.
Sakura just snickered, "C'mon, Mara, before we are late to class."
So they left the crazed girls and began to walk to their first class. It was a comfortable silence, seeing that the two girls are on mutual grounds with each other and Sakura enjoyed the silence. She knows that with Mara, it's not her words that speak to you, it's her actions. That was one of the reasons Sakura wanted to become friends with Mara. She was intrigued by her ability to speak without saying a word. Also, the fact that she was an outcast, judged by everyone around her, just like Sakura. So what if their hair color isn't normal, or if their foreheads are too big, or if they have a missing arm. They are people with feelings, too. But that is what motivated her to become friends with Mara. She wanted her to feel like she belonged somewhere in this judgmental society.
"Hey, Mara, you want to hang out today?" Sakura questioned later on that day at lunch. They were sitting outside underneath a big tree.
Mara stared at her for a minute before nodding, "Sure, that sounds pretty awesome actually. Where are we going to hang at?"
Sakura stroked her chin for a moment in a very I'm-an-evil-scientist-thinking way, causing Mara to smile slightly, "How about the mall? We can both use a stress reliever I'm sure and there are tons of stores with different things in them so we won't get bored!" Sakura smiled enthusiastically.
Mara shook her head at Sakura's enthusiasm. The girl had too much happiness pent up inside of that little body.
Suddenly, a shadow blocked the little light that the girls had, causing them to look up. And low and behold it was Sasuke e looked so nervous and it made the girls even more interested in what he had to sya, "S-Sakura may I speak to you for a moment?" he asked looking away.
Sakura looked at Mara, who shrugged, and decided to see what he wanted, "Yes, but only for a moment," she replied, which seem to perk the Uchiha up real fast.
He grabbed her hand with a little bit of excitement and pulled her to a spot to where no one can hear them.
"Um, I know we haven't been on good terms or anything, but I want to start over with you," Sasuke looked at the ground, a blush beginning to spread across his face, which didn't go unnoticed by Sakura.
'Maybe he has changed... I don't know...' Sakura thought, secretly gushing about how cute he looked blushing.
"I don't know, Sasuke. You weren't there for me when I really needed you. You left me to deal with all the torture and harrassment of everyone. Why should we start over?" Sakura questtioned with her arms folded across her chest.
Sasuke looked lost for a moment, "Because, IreallycareaboutyouandIdon'twantanythingelsetohappentoy ouaslongasI'maround," he said it so fast that Sakura had trouble hearing him.
"What? Sasuke, slow down your speech, I didn't hear a word you said," she stepped closer to him so she could hear better.
He sighed, " I said that I really care about you and I don't want anything else to happen to you as long as I'm around."
Sakura began to blush, W-well, you have a lot to prove before I can trust you again. You got it?" Sakura glared at him, still blushing.
And for the first time ever, Sakura could have sworn that she saw Sasuke smile, "Thank you, Sakura. I will see you later, neh?" he asked.
Sakura nodded, "Yeah, see ya," and with that she returned to where Mara was.
Not able to contain her curiosity any longer Mara asked Sakura about what the 'ice princess' wanted, making Sakura giggle at the nickname.
"He wanted to start over with me. I guess become friends again, but I'm not sure. I did tell him that he has a lot to prove before I could trust him. Was that the right thing to do?" Sakura asked, uncertainty leaking through her voice.
"I think that what you did was the right thing. People deserve second chances. You know, forgive and forget? Some people, though, can't be given second chances, but you should give him a second chance. Who knows? I'm not the best when it comes to people anyways," Mara looked up at the tree in thought.
"Thank you, Mara. That was really helpful and I'm glad that you gave me your input. ou're right, I should give him a second chance, but he still has to prove that he is trustworthy!" Sakura grinned.
Mara smirked at her.
'Maybe this friendship won't be so bad afterall..."
