Chapter 4

Far Away


The worst thing you can do is to be in love with your best friend.

I mean, seriously! A best friend is meant for sharing secrets and if you fall for him without him knowing, and he tells you that he has a crush on someone else, Ka-Boom. You can feel your heart literally torn apart.

And yet, you have to smile and pretend to be happy for him. And maybe even offer helping him win the girl's heart.

Luckily, almost all the girls adore Sasuke, which means he hates them.

But for me, well...

Fine. I like him as well but not the "OH MY GOD! SASUKE-KUN, MARRY ME!" type.

I'm more like the "Keep quiet about feelings of affection to someone else" type.

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Sakura Haruno, currently seventeen, has bright pink long hair, (yes, you read correctly, pink hair), is in love with my best friend, likes french fries and McDonalds, has emerald eyes and a huge forehead.

Have I said that I'm in love with my best friend somewere up there? I have? Oh. Okay.

I. Am. In. Love. With. Sasuke. Uchiha.

Oh and have I mentioned that he lives a gazillion miles from me and I don't dare to tell him my feelings so we have virtually no chance to be together? Well, now you know.

We've been friends since, a long, long time ago and I had a one-sided crush on him since forever.

RIIIIINNNNNGGGG, RIIIINNNGGGG

The sound of my phone ringing jolted me back to reality.

Glancing over, I checked who was calling before I answered the phone.

Sasuke Uchiha

Accept or Reject

Pressing the 'Accept button', I pressed the phone next to my year while trying to paint my toes with the other hand. It was not working.

Giving up, I tossed the nail polish bottle aside and instead, grabbed a pillow that was lying right behind me on the couch.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Sakura," Oh, how I love his voice, "I've got something to tell you. And promise me you won't freak out when I tell you."

Was he pleading?

"Uhh… Sasuke? Are you okay? Do you need help or something?"

"… just promise first dammit!"

He sound agitated. And an agitated Sasuke is not something anyone likes.

"Okay, okay! I promise! Now tell me why you sound so un-Sasuke like!"

I could hear his deep chuckle at the other end of the line. Then I heard him clear his throat.

Okay, something was wrong in that picture. Wayyyyyyy wrong.

Sasuke Uchiha does not hesitate. At all.

"What would you do if I told you I loved you since we were kids and then I showed up at your door?"

...

"That would never happen but I'll be astonished and happy."

A few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.

"Oh my god... No way..."

Out there, just a few foot ahead of me was Sasuke, holding a bouquet of blue roses mixed with white ones.

I once told him never to give me red roses (not that i thought he would, after all, red roses symbolizes love) as they remind me of blood. A tainted thing.

But back to the point.

'S-Sasuke? What are you doing here?" I managed to stutter.

"Hn. Here." He passed the bouquet of flowers to me and I took it hesitantly, and reached out for the card and a little box, sitting right on the middle of the flowers.

Opening the card, I read out " Dear Sakura, I've been in love with you since we were kids. Will you go out with me?"

My voice drifted off at the last word.

This was all too much to take in.

How can I believe that Sasuke Uchiha, the Sasuke Uchiha that is so sought after, loved Sakura Haruno, the girl with the big forehead.

No, I must act like a mature young woman and ask him why he likes me.

"... So? What's your answer, Sakura?" Sasuke asked, with his onyx following my every movement.

"..."

Screw maturity.

"I've...actually liked you too since we were kids too, Sasuke," I started out.

Wait. No! That's like confessing!

I could see his smirk forming already.

I cleared my throat and continued, "But why would you love someone like me?"

His answer was simple.

"Love has no boundaries. It happens in the least expected moment and rarely ever happens again. That is what true love means."

Words I've never thought I will ever hear Sasuke say had already been said.

There's was only one thing to do left.

Smiling slightly, I said that one word.

"Yes."

I've actually seen Sasuke smile before but the smile he gave me right now was the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.

I want to see more of that in the future.

I was wrong.

Being in love with your best friend might proved to be the best thing you can ever do.
