Chapter 2: On her way home
Sakura has just arrived from school. She runs into her room and tries to forget what happens on her way home. But she guesses that the events won't get out of her mind. She really didn't expect herself to say those words especially to Neji.
UGGGGGHHHHHH!
"Why did I tell him that?", Sakura said while remembering what happened on their way home.
FLASHBACK>>>
Sakura and Neji together walked into their lockers. Fortunately for Neji, his locker is near to Sakura's.
"Hey, Sakura."
"Uhmm?"
"Remember what we agreed on?"
"Alright. I promise you that we will go home together."
"So, what time do you want to go home?"
"It depends on you. Do you have any clubs today?"
"None. How about you?"
"None also."
"Do you want to go home now, Sakura?
"I guess we better keep going."
"Right."
Many people are looking on Sakura and Neji while they both looked embarrassed. Sakura is not looking on Neji while Neji stays calm but deep inside he is very conscious. It is a very precious time of his life. It is the first time he has the guts to ask her if she wants to go home with him together.
FLASKBACK
"Sakura, if you don't mind, would you like to go home with me. It's okay if you don't want to. I do understand."
"Sure. It's not always that a famous cool guy like you would asked an ordinary girl like me. Just be sure that no fan girls we'll come and chase me, got it?", Sakura replied with a smile that could melt anyone's heart.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Oi, Neji?", Sakura asked after she noticed Neji's silence.
"Uhmm, sorry Sakura. I'm just thinking. Could you give me a chance to prove how much I care and really love you?", Neji asked in a serious tone.
Sakura couldn't believe on what Neji had told her. Sakura stopped walking.
"Í don't believe this. Neji is asking me? This isn't a dream, is it? If it is, please somebody just wake me up.", Sakura thought.
But it isn't a dream. Nobody has woken her up. It is true. It is reality.
"Ne, Sakura? I'm not forcing you into this. I'll accept whatever you will say.", Neji said.
"YES…", Sakura whispered.
"Nani?", Neji asked seriously.
"I said YES… Do you want me to take it back?", Sakura whispered.
"Are- you- serious?", Neji asked her hoping she would say yes.
"Of course.", Sakura answered.
"It is better this way. I should give him a chance. After all, he really proved how much he loves me. Through those years, he still waited though he knew how much I loved Sasuke. I don't want to get hurt anymore. Maybe, I could find on Neji what I am looking for-the things I never experienced on Sasuke, LOVE." Sakura thought while the arms of her loving suitor are around her.
END OF FLASHBACK>>>
Back to reality…
"The things I did are right. I should focus more on Neji so that I could free myself from the hurtful feelings Sasuke brought me. I must love Neji- for the sake of my happiness. MAYBE… I will learn to love him.", Sakura whispered after recalling all the things that happened.
She continued lying on her bed thinking what will be the next thing that will happen after the incident. Sakura's eyes are starting to close now- the eyes that will lead her, for the last time, to the most wonderful thing she wanted to dream of- Sasuke.
To be continued…
A/N: I guess this isn't a good chapter. I'm not really good in writing, huh? But it is a pleasure writing here and I am happy if you all appreciate. Feel free to review. )
