Chapter 1: The Last Glimpse
Sakura then decided.
I should stop now.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg!
Sakura then stumbles searching for her stupid alarm clock in the table beside her.
"I hate mornings!", she said out loud. Not knowing that she screamed, she continues lying lazily in her bed when she heard footsteps going up to her room.
"Oops!...", Sakura whispered. Not again.
Her door banged open.
"Miss Haruno Sakura! Will you stop yelling like that! Stop acting like a kid! You're already 16 and you're still like that! Aren't you embarrassed of your doings? Get up now. It's already time for school!", her mom said.
"Hey mom, now you're doing it.", Sakura whispered.
"Doing what?"
"I mean, now you're screaming!", a laughing Sakura said while escaping hurriedly from her room down into the bathroom.
Wahahaha… that was a good one.
Sakura closes the bathroom door and look in the mirror.
Yes. Mom's right. I'm already 16 and still, I'm a kid chasing that oh-so-famous Uchiha. I knew all along that he will never love me. NEVER!
"Never", Sakura repeated unhappily.
She brushed her hair with her hands. It is long now. She turned around while looking in the mirror. She really is a grown-up now. Her curves are very perfect while matching her perfect pink dress. It is still the same. Just a little shorter. She now wears boots that go with the fashion.
"What's with me that he doesn't like? I want him. Not the guys that lingers around me. Since childhood, I love him with all my heart. I didn't even left something for myself. All the sorrows and the "annoying stuff" he gave and said to me-I don't care. All I know is that I love him. I will always be there for him. Can't he understand that?", Sakura said while stopping her tears from falling.
Her thoughts were interrupted when someone knocked on her door. It was her mom.
"Hey Sakura, you have been there for almost half an hour. Aren't you finished yet? You don't want to be late at the first day of school, right?", her mom said.
"Yes mom! Just a minute.", Sakura said. Great! It's the first day of my fourth year in Konoha high. And I almost forgot.
"YIPEEEEEEEE!", Sakura shouted.
It's the first day of school. She wears her helmet and safety accessories after putting on her roller skates well, it is like Sakura in CardCaptor, ya know,I'm also a fan of it . She quickly slides into the road wanting to start the day right. Well, everybody wanted to start it right.
For me, Haruno Sakura, actually, should start now my life right. She thought.
The thought made her remember the dream.
"The dream… Oh yeah, I remember, it is like I decided to stop. But stop what?" she asked.
Loving UCHIHA SASUKE…
"Great… is that it? Stop loving Sasuke? It's hard. It is not just like that. I love him for almost all my life. I just couldn't stop like that just because a dream told me so.", Sakura whispered to herself.
You should…
BUMP!
Sakura then tried to stand up after she bumped into a guy. But she couldn't stand though she gave her full effort. She lost her concentrations after struggling to stop her inner self in giving her those thoughts. She didn't even notice that the guy is looking at her straightly until the guy spoke up.
"You alright?"
"Yes. Sorry to bump you."
"Nah, it's okay. It's my fault anyway."
The guy then stretched his hand towards her. Obviously, trying to help her stand up. Sakura, then wanted to know this gentleman so she looked up after reaching the hand.
It was Neji.
Great! What a day! I'm just thinking of Sasuke and now, you let me bump with Neji...
"Neji?", Sakura said out loud.
Neji looked confused. "aah.. ehh.. why?"
"Nothing. I'm sorry for the bump. I'm just thinking about…"
"About what?"
"Nothing"
Right. I bet she is thinking about Sasuke. I hate Sasuke. Why couldn't she love Sakura? He is too lucky to have her. Neji thought.
Hyuuga Neji is Sakura's very patient suitor. Everyone in the school all know that Neji likes Sakura since they have met. He is one of the famous guys in the school. There are many fan girls out there, but he falls for Sakura. And he doesn't know why.
"Sakura? Can I walk you into your room?" Neji then asked after noticing the sudden silence.
"Sure.", Sakura answered.
"Uhmm… Neji?"
"Yes?"
"Do you have now a special someone in your heart?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me who it is?"
"Why should I? You know it yourself. She is the same and only one person I love."
Sakura blushed.
"Hey, why are you quite?"
"Nothing. It's just that, you are very sweet."
"Really? I guess I'm different like a guy we all know. I really care and love THAT PERSON. He is too dumb not to notice her." Neji said while looking in the corner.
Sakura followed his gaze and was surprised on what she saw.
It was Sasuke.
Sakura waved goodbye on Neji while they both go on their way. Their rooms are in the opposite direction. Before saying goodbye, they both agreed that they will go home together.
"Neji is such a sweet guy. I should have given him a chance. Maybe, I can love him", Sakura said.
Maybe…
On the corner on her way to her room, Sakura spotted a familiar figure- a figure that is surrounded by many fan girls. As usual, it is Sasuke.
Their eyes met and for Sakura it is heaven. Sakura is now contented on that. Just a nod or even when their eyes met, she is very happy with that. No more questions to ask. She really loves Sasuke.
Sasuke turns his gaze on the other direction while stepping out from the crowd. He doesn't really like crowds especially when it comes to her fan clubs.
Sakura continued to walk while looking down on the floor.
AND…
Sakura decided.
I should stop now.
That will be my last glimpse.
Yes…
The last glimpse…
