Strange
The next morning, Sakura walked into the huge office balancing folders and files of paperwork. She couldn't quite see where she was going and had nearly walked into a lot of people. Finally reaching Ino's desk, she placed them there. Ino, who was on the phone, smiled appreciatively.
She then went to get coffee for Ino. Walking into the small room used only for the purpose of a kitchen, she froze for a second when she saw Sasuke sipping a cup of hot coffee staring out the window. Unable to figure out what to do, she walked in quietly. Sasuke turned at her entrance and again, she froze momentarily. He just looked out the window again, completely ignoring Sakura.
"Um, ohayoo gozaimasu," she said quietly. He returned the greeting and went back to his coffee. Shakily, she poured a cup of coffee.
"You were lucky that my father showed up," he said, again in that cold emotionless tone of his. "I wouldn't have accepted you."
Sakura became flustered and angry, but she bit her lips and tried to hold back what she wanted to say. Then against her better judgment, she spoke.
"Yes, you're right. I am lucky that your kind father showed up. People like you are the ones who make the world dark and cold. You shun love and affection. You think that you'll get on with life better if you surround yourself with success, but you know what? In the end, you're the lonely loser." She walked out of the room, with her back straight and left him.
He stared after her, surprised. No one had ever dared to talk back to him, even in that tone, no one had ever dared. He felt angry, but yet…curious in a way. He felt insulted, but decided that he didn't have to let the likes of her get to him. He turned back to look out the window.
Later that day, Sakura found herself sitting outside under the trees in the park for her lunch break. The sun on her face felt nice. She stared lazily into space, and didn't even realize it when someone sat down beside her.
"What are you thinking of?"
Sakura jumped up and looked over to the person beside her. It was Ino. She smiled and shook her head.
"Nothing, hehe" replied Sakura. "I was just…daydreaming perhaps?"
"Daydreaming, huh?" smiled Ino. "About anyone in particular?"
"Ino-chan!" Sakura blushed. "Why would you think that?"
"Well…because there are many cute guys working with us," Ino winked.
"Does Ino-chan like someone there?" Sakura asked.
"Um no," Ino said. "Of course not…"
"Sure," laughed Sakura.
Ino playfully tapped her lightly on the head and they both laughed. They both stood up to return to the building.
Back at work, Sakura looked through some files for Ino. She was keenly looking at a file she had opened on the computer when someone knocked her on the head with some folders. Sakura jerked up.
"Ow!"
"Hahahaha, Sakura-chan," Ino laughed. "You're working so hard that you wouldn't even notice if someone called you."
Sakura smiled shyly. "I'm just doing my job!"
Ino burst out in giggles. "Well, don't laugh at me," Sakura said quite helplessly. "I..I…well I don't know, hehe." They both started laughing together.
Then they suddenly stopped laughing when they noticed someone watching them. Sasuke quickly lowered his head, turned away and put his hands in his pocket. He spoke to a man who was in a grey suit and quickly walked away.
"What was that?" Sakura asked. "I wish I didn't have to see his face everyday."
"Why not, Sakura-chan?" asked Ino. "You know, all the girls consider him to be very cute…don't you think so?"
"Um…a little I guess, but I can't believe I just let myself say that. But why? Do you find him cute, Ino-chan?"
Ino blushed. "No. Are you done with the files?" said Ino quickly.
"Yup yupz!" smiled Sakura. "They're all done. Here, I'll save them for you."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome!"
Sakura gave Ino the disk, and went back to her desk. There, she looked over more files for other people. At eight o'clock, she got ready to leave. She shut her computer and rearranged the things on her desk. She picked up her bag and went to wait for Ino. Her friend quickly got ready and they walked out of the building together.
They said goodbye and went their separate ways home. Sakura walked to the train station to catch a train home. While she waited for a train, she caught sight of a familiar dark figure who had dark hair. Her eyes widened.
Sasuke looked up and right into her eyes. For a moment, she felt like time had frozen. She had to admit his handsome good looks could get to anyone. She closed her eyes and turned away. Okay…what was that…shouldn't he be in a limo or something?
Sakura moved slowly farther and farther away from her boss. First, she pretended to recognize someone fifteen feet away. Then she pretended to be disappointed. Second, she walked another ten feet to look at a poster on baby diapers. Omg, baka. Baby diapers? Then the train came and she quickly walked another five feet and jumped into the train. What is he going to say tomorrow when I see him at work…?
