Stuck: Alone…
It was a very nice day for Sakura. She is having a good time with Neji as they both eat their lunch together in the field and talk about Shikamaru being dragged again by Inno.
"Yeah, and you know what, they told me that it is really funny. Shikamaru is already pleading to let him watch the clouds instead of going with her in a date. I pity Shikamaru.", Sakura laughed.
"Though they are like that, I know that deep inside they love each other.", Neji replied.
"Yup.", Sakura answered.
Silence.
"I really love you Sakura. I wish you really are in love with me also," Neji whispered in a very serious tone.
Sakura was very surprised upon hearing this. She never thought that Neji would ever say like that, not when they were in having a good time laughing.
"Of course I do.", Sakura said. I wish I CAN do.
Later after another long silence, the bell rang signaling them about the next classes after lunch. The "couple" picks their things up and slowly walks down the field while casually holding hands together.
Sakura couldn't help but honestly picture the scene- The one in the right who is deeply in love with the other and the other one in the left who is trying to love him.
The classes end up soon. The bell rang telling everyone that the school is over. You could see many faces smiling for all of them are waiting for it. Almost everyone gather their things up while Sakura tirelessly arranges her books in the locker. She was very surprised when somebody tapped her shoulder. Sakura looked back and three smiling faces appeared in her view- Ino, Hinata and Temari.
Sakura then closed her locker and faced them.
"Now what?", Sakura said.
"Nothing.", the blushing Hinata answered while staring on the left of Sakura.
A confused Sakura look in to her left.
That's why. It's NARUTO…
Sakura gazed back to them.
"Oi, stop beating around the bush. Tell me what you want from me. Hey, have you forgotten? It's been years since we are all best of friends…And I memorize all of your attitudes. With that stupid smiling faces your giving me, you all want to tell me something. What's with all of you?", Sakura laughed.
"Oh, fine! We give up.!", Ino answered.
"WE JUST WANT TO HUG YOU!", the three shouted and hugged Sakura as if there were no tomorrows.
"Hey stop it. It's embarrassing", Sakura said.
"We are just missing you. It's because you are absent during our sleepover party several times now. After, you two have been together.", Temari sadly told her.
"Sorry. You know that's it the only way to forget HIM… right? So, I'm focusing on Neji, hoping I would.", Sakura replied.
The three nodded as a sign that they understand.
"Hey, speaking of HIM… here comes Sasuke.", Ino whispered.
"No kidding?", Sakura answered.
"Nope.", Ino answered back.
Sakura looked through the door and a figure having only those looks that attracted almost half of the girl students in the school stood there.
Puzzled, Sakura suddenly stood up and gathered her things.
"Guys, Let's go home.", Sakura said that looks more like an order rather than a statement.
The three nodded and went out to get their things on the other room leaving the two of them ALONE…
Alone…
A/N: Hey guys, it is a short chapter, right? Anyways, feel free to review! I'll appreciate it.
If you're wondering about the three leaving Sakura and Sasuke alone, here's the answer:
1.There are two sections in Sakura's batch. Sakura, Sasuke and Shikamaru are on the same section while Neji, Ino, Hinata and Temari are on the other that's why the three left them alone. Actually, the sections are on the opposite direction that's why, when Neji walked Sakura on her room, they both went out their separate ways after, remember? )
