Drabble Twenty One – Loves Me, Loves Me Not

"In the eyes of your family – you are special.
In the eyes of your friends – you are you.
In the eyes of your enemy – you are wondered about.
In the eyes of strangers – you are someone.
But –
In the eyes of your best friends – you are everything."

The cherry petals briskly flapped their petals in the mid-dawn azure breeze. Down the grassy premise, down the daybreak suns, down the cliffs edge brink, down the lain wooden flute – lay a girl of porcelain, soft skin and wide eyed bewilderment in the enchanted whispers of the morning. Purple plaid skies with tinges of blue and crimson embalm the silver wisps of clouds.
The girl observed the formations as she pushed herself up – feeling the land on the balls of her heels. Twisting at the piece of stem in her russet locks, she pulled out the lavender daisy and stared at it – imagining the sky.
"Neji…" she breathed.
(Flash)
Of all the people, Neji Hyuuga was the only one that could really understand her. Lucky her, he was the first one to care then not care. Obliviously, the girl ambled towards him and smile.
"Neji." She called.
The boy stared her way. "Hn?"
Her smile deceased through a lowering of her head and batting of her long eyelashes. Though soon to be said, the boy beat her to it. "Let's spar."
Affection…
(Flash)
One would say an autumn morning brings back many memories of the last summer – being it he left. To whom – it really concerned everyone – some one would have been shocked of the news bearing Ino's gossip of that day.
But shock wasn't intended. Angst and pain was.
But who was to know the weapons mistress was that kind of person? No one knew her too well. Except the given prodigy.
But who was to know where he has gone?
(Flash)
Parading the streets and avenues of Konoha, Ino happily marched her way towards the Team 13 training grounds. Her feet stomped, her arms swayed and her head craned to the rhythm of her tocks.
Tenten, apparently being the only one to notice, lifted her head from the tree stump and – surprisingly – she gasped slightly. "Ino?" she questioned. "What are you doing here?"
Ino promptly paused her dance and stared straight at the weapons mistress. "You obviously don't know." She mocked.
"Don't know what?" Tenten furrowed her brows and tilted her head.
The platinum blonde shook her hips and rolled her teal orbs. "Puh-lease Tenten." Ino gammed. "You obviously don't want to know."
Tenten huffed. "Know what?" she repeated and Ino slumped her shoulders.
"About Neji."
"What about him?"
Ino's grin disappeared. "He's…" she paused. "He's gone." Tenten's furrowed eyebrows ceased as wide stricken eyes took the place of patient ones.
"Nani?" Tenten refused.
"It's true." Ino said. "Hinata told me. She said…that he was no where to be found anywhere. They've searched for him for hours. Since three in the morning."
(Flash)
Tenten held the delicate flower in her palm and smiled sadly. Slowly, she plucked off a small pink petal and murmured, "He loves me…"
Another. "He loves me not."
And then another. "He loves me."
And soon, the girl had enough petals on the grass to fill up her empty heart. One more petal left.
She stared at it through tears and smiled. She plucked it and closed her eyes – embracing the feeling of the sunshine on her face.
…
"He loves me."
And somehow, she felt his presence. Especially when he wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered:
"How did you know…?"
