Recap from last chapter.
Out on the empty streets, the young girl known as Kinomoto Sakura, cried.
Nobody was there for her. Nobody took care of her. Nobody showed her any signs of love.
Sakura didn't even know what being loved felt like.
She cried just thinking about it.
'Will I Ever Be Loved?' She thought to herself silently before she continued to cry.
Will I Ever Be Loved?
Chapter two
Bruises and Scars.
Kinomoto Sakura stood up afte she cried.
She felt lonesome. She felt... unwanted.
'Why do I feel like this?' Sakura thought to herself.
She sniffed and continued on her way to school
----Tomoeda Elementry School----
"Ohayo minna!!", came the cheerfull voice of Sakura's classmate.
"Ohayo!!", came the reply from her other classmates.
Sakura walked in her classroom solemnly.
Nobody noticed her.
'As usual, nobody notices me,' Sakura thought to herself.
Sakura sat down in her seat and prepared for class to start.
She felt bored so she took out her sketch pad and a pencil.
She began to sketch a cherry blossom tree in a small park.
The drawing looked like a piece of art.
When she finished her drawing, she laid the sketch pad on her desk.
Sakura looked at her watch and it read, '8.27'.
'Three more minutes before the school bell rings. I better get ready,' She thought to herself as she kept her sketch pad in her bag and took out her pencil box.
Then, she looked at her watch again. It read, '8.29'.
'10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2...' Sakura thought, counting in descending order.
BRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG!!!
'...1. Just in time,' Sakura thought while smiling meekly inwards.
The school bell rung signalling class to start.
Terada-sensei came in the classroom.
Every student stood up.
"Ohayo minna," Terada greeted the students.
"Ohayo Terada-sensei," The students greeted back while standing in their seats.
"You can all sit down now," Terada said.
"Haii sensei," The students replied back.
"Okay students, have you done your homework yet?"
"Haii"
----6:30----
BRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG!!!
The school bell rung signalling the end of school.
The students stood up and went home.
But Sakura stood up and went to her favourite place in the school, The Cherry Blossom Tree.
She sat under the tree, relaxing herself.
She enjoyed the calm and serene feeling underneath the tree.
A few petals of the tree fell on Sakura.
She felt the petals that was on the palm of her hand.
'It's so smooth..' Sakura thought.
'I wish I was like this at home.. Calm.. Serene..' Sakura thought calmly.
Then it hit her, 'Home!!! I gotta go home!!' Sakura screamed in her head.
Sakura ran to the apartment she called home, like lightning.
She zoomed pass people and knocked them over.
Causing people to scream and holler at her to watch where she's running next time.
But Sakura didn't care.
Of course she felt guilty, but she had to be home before her dad's there.
If she didn't, she would be in big trouble.
----Kinomoto Residence----
She ran like her life depended on it and managed to get home on time-- or so she thought.
She quickly unlocked the apartment door with her spare keys.
'Phew.. I thought dad was home but I guess I was wrong. I made it just in ti--' Sakura thought before she got pulled by the collar.
"AND WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY!?!?!?!" came Sakura's father, Fujitaka's, loud voice.
"Ano... I was.. Ano..." Sakura stuttered while looking down at the floor.
She was scared of her father when he was angry.
"THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY?!?!?!" Fujitaka's voice boomed through the whole apartment.
Sakura hated this.. She hated this so much.
"WELL!?!?!?" Fujitaka hollered at her.
Silence for one minute..
Two minutes..
Three..
"ANWER ME CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Fujitaka.
Sakura just kept silent.
She felt torn up inside. She felt like crying so badly. But she held it in.
She was still silent.
Fujitaka sighed frustratingly and let go of Sakura's collar.
He then kicked her helpless body that was lying on the floor.
"Go to bed. There will be no dinner for you tonight," Fujitaka said, controlling his anger.
Sakura obediently went to her room and sat in silence.
She went to her bathroom and showered quickly, yet silently.
After her quick shower, she took out her pajamas from her cupboard and wore it without a single word.
She saw some bruises on her body that her father caused. She also saw some scars from before. She cleaned her recent bruises.Then, she took out some bandages and wrapped it around the bruises.
She was used to the pain her father caused. To her, it wasn't the bruises that hurt. It was how her father changed so much.
Then, Sakura took out her homework from her schoolbag and did it silently.
A lone tear escaped from her eyes.
After she did her homework, she silently went to bed and laid there.
'Why is my life like this, Kami-sama?' Sakura thought before she cried silently into the night.
