Sakura smiles at her best friend. Sasuke tells her about his family, and her heart breaks.
"I don't think I'll ever fall in love," he announces, running his hand through his hair as he drives.
Sakura just nods and swallows her tears. Does he even realize she loves him so much? Does he know she's memorized every detail about him? Like how he loves blue and tomatoes? How his eyes are just like his dad's? Or how he loves to argue?
She holds her breath as they joke around one morning. Sasuke's not a morning person. And it's in jest but it also cuts her to the quick. He pauses and laughs.
"Annoying."
A week later, he asks her if she loves him.
But she remembers what he said. So she lies.

Drabble #11
A/N: The AU strike back! High school and best guy friends. *sighs* Not fun. Especially when you're dumb enough to fall for him. Because then you have to lie every moment you're with him, every breath you breathe becomes a lie. Because you can't cross that line. So you become a filthy liar, break your heart everyday so you can be with him. Because you want to. And you know how this will end. You'll keep loving him quietly and he'll never see. But you'll be dying to have him notice you in that way. And slowly, slowly if you let it keep going, you come to hate him for being too stupid to see past your lies. And then you're left with only hate. No love, no friendship. Only hate.
Ahem. Yes well, as you can tell I have no experience with that situation whatsoever. It's not like I'm in it right now. Although I'm out of high school now. But moving on!
